Chapter 112: At the Fastest Speed, Let Fu Xuan and Qing Que Dominate the Teyvat Light Novel Market!

"The General really seizes every opportunity when it comes to employing people, without holding back," Fu Xuan glanced at Jing Yuan, a smile at the corner of his mouth, said.

"Since they're already here, we have to make full use of them," Jing Yuan said with a carefree expression.

Fu Xuan walked toward Xing and the others, and without any fuss, got straight to the point, explaining the two current crises of the Divination Office: first, the foundation of the Qiongguan Grand Array needs to be reactivated; second, the star‑core demons along the way must be eliminated by them.

The former can be handled by Qing Que, the latter is left to Xing and the others.

"Say that magical word!" Xing said with a teasing expression.

"…W‑what? What magical word?" Fu Xuan tilted his head, looking completely clueless, his round, chestnut‑colored eyes staring blankly at the group.

"Oh~" San Yue Qi understood instantly, placing a hand on his chest: "It's just a simple, universally resonant character: 'please'."

"……" Fu Xuan's gaze drifted elsewhere subconsciously.

Although her role in the Divination Office demanded she constantly maintain the composure and seriousness of a superior, the pink flush spreading across her delicate cheeks quickly betrayed the girl's inner panic.

"…Please, please!"

San Yue Qi finally satisfied, "Got it!"

What a cute little girl, why does Xing no longer tease her? Such a pity… Inside Yaezhong Hall, Shen Zi was endlessly enjoying the girl's embarrassment.

Just as she was pondering for a moment, a hurried knock sounded from outside.

The visitor was Ping Shan—the editor‑in‑chief of Yaezhong Hall, second only to her as "Chief Editor".

"Oh? Ping Shan, coming so late—has the Inazuma light novel sales ranking for the past month been released?" Shen Zi's tone was full of eager joy.

Inazuma has more than just Yaezhong Hall as a light novel publisher, but it is undoubtedly the largest. Thanks to Shen Zi's unconventional and unorthodox review approach, Yaezhong Hall releases several works each quarter that become hits across Teyvat… even the distant nation of Natlan finds them in short supply.

The sales ranking list covered almost all newly released light novels, and Yaezhong Hall consistently held three of the top five spots.

Because of that, Shen Zi never doubts her judgment.

"Where does 'Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun and Then Unrivaled' rank?" Before even taking the list Ping Shan offered, Shen Zi asked, "And 'Please, My Fox Immortal Palace Minister'… that one's also interesting, it should have good results, right?"

Ping Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowing his head into the candle's shadow: "Chief Editor, you should take a look yourself."

"Oh…?" Sensing something off, Shen Zi reached for the list, her beautiful eyes scanning from the tenth place at the bottom up to the first.

Strange. There is none…

Not a single one? How could this be?

Shen Zi frowned slightly; this had never happened since Yaezhong Hall was founded.

"Chief Editor, the hottest topics now are those involving Fu Xuan and Qing Que; stories about the Raiden Shogun, the Fox Immortal Palace Minister… are already outdated."

Ping Shan swallowed, finally stepping out of the shadows: "Look, the top ten on the list are all related to the two of them."

"What 'What Went Wrong When Seeking an Encounter in the Divination Office', 'Little Qing Que's Rise~Using Any Means to Become a Divination Office Diviner~', 'The Neighboring Classmate Fu Xuan Who Occasionally Drops Book Bags to Cover Up', 'As the Head of the Carefree Gate, I Started Living with the Beautiful Divination Girl I Reunited After Seven Years'… and so on."

"Especially the first place, the author of 'Youthful Loafing Diviners Won't Dream of the Milk‑Fierce White‑Silk Diviner'… it's said that after seeing Qing Que they worked nonstop for three days without food or drink, finishing the entire manuscript just before the deadline and soaring to the top—"

"…Well, I didn't expect my judgment to be short‑sighted this time." Shen Zi's beautiful eyes lowered slightly; after a moment of contemplation, she slowly looked up.

"Ping Shan, first thing tomorrow morning notify all the authors under Yaezhong Hall, prepare the related materials, and immediately launch a light‑novel solicitation for Fu Tai Bu works! The day after tomorrow… at the latest the day after tomorrow! I want to see solicitation ads and posters covering the outlying islands!"

"We must, at the fastest speed, let Fu Xuan and Qing Que dominate the Teyvat light‑novel market!"

Under Qing Que's leadership, the party swiftly swept away the various demonic shadows inside the Divination Office and reactivated three array foundations.

Upon returning to the heart of the Qiongguan Array, Fu Xuan walked toward them: "You've done well; I've sensed the Fu Lu of the Qiongguan Array has been relit. Next, I will interrogate Kafuka, the one at the array's core; you may feel some… impact. Are you ready?"

"Please begin, Fu Tai Bu." Walt made a "please" gesture.

Then, two cloud‑riders escorted Kafuka over.

At this moment Kafuka removed her makeup—no eyeshadow or lipstick—stripping away her sharp beauty entirely, and after the cleanse… a gentle tenderness finally spread from her eyes like mist over a spring lake.

"Is such a grand display necessary? I said I'd cooperate with you." Kafuka's tone sounded very compliant.

"So beautiful! Kafuka like this!"

Dianci let out a "Awoo" as he sprang from the sofa, pulling a phone from his pocket and tapping it repeatedly against the ceiling.

For a moment, "click" sounds echoed continuously in the living room of the Asahikawa family.

"…Is that still Kafuka?" Pawa was a bit incredulous; the Kafuka he remembered wasn't this delicate. Could this be her true nature?

No, no, no! Pawa quickly shook his head, trying to erase the "gentle Kafuka" image from his mind.

"Dianci, don't be fooled by this kind of woman; the prettier she is, the more she deceives! Don't be misled by her seemingly needing protection—she might kick your head with high heels when you turn around!"

Pawa put on an intentionally threatening expression, his two cute little canines accidentally flashing.

"Hmm… that's not so bad, right?" Dianci let his almost useless brain think a bit, "…rather, it's actually great! If she's willing to date me, I can do anything!"

"If I asked you to betray Maqima, would that be okay?" Pawa subconsciously tossed out a death‑sentence question.

"Well… Miss Maqima and I have dated, but we only watched a movie together and held hands briefly."

Dianci hesitated, thought it over, then said, "If Kafuka is willing to kiss me and be my girlfriend… it's not impossible, but I can't promise I won't fall for Miss Maqima again later."

"Ugh, Dianci… how disgusting." Pawa disdainfully looked away from him.
