Chapter 702

Thinking it over, the cat-transformation ability she had obtained was actually quite decent.

At the very least, she didn't have to go through the strangeness of a gender change.

But to be fair,

Customer Xingqiu's current appearance actually had quite high looks.

Anyone who didn't know,

would think she was some family's refined young lady!

"Right, what was that apology about just now?"

Lady Keqing finally remembered the main business at this moment.

"Well…"

Seeing the person in question bring it up, Customer Xingqiu awkwardly scratched her head.

How was she supposed to explain this?

Was she supposed to say that she had mistakenly thought Lady Keqing was about to be "bullied,"

so she wanted to act as a passer-by who drew her sword to help?

If she said it like that, wouldn't she be despised to death by the Pabushi Society?

"Forget it, Lady Keqing, no need to dwell on this. Have you two finished reading the comic?"

This was Han Feng stepping forward, cleverly changing the subject.

Although Lady Keqing still had some doubts,

seeing that her master had said so, she didn't ask any further.

She didn't know about the future, but today she was completely obedient to Han Feng.

This was a contract that belonged exclusively to the two of them.

"Yes, yes, already finished! It was absolutely brilliant!"

Seeing this scene, Customer Xingqiu's gaze toward Han Feng was filled with gratitude.

The boss really is a super good person!

Han Feng merely smiled faintly at this.

He wasn't doing it to get Customer Xingqiu out of an awkward spot, but for himself.

If Lady Keqing found out that Customer Xingqiu and the other had seen what just happened,

given how shy she was in her current cat-ear-girl form,

when the time came for Han Feng to want to pet her again, it might no longer be possible.

"Right, boss, why did 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' have to write the plot of Little Dragon Girl being violated?

Wouldn't it be better if it weren't there?!"

At this moment, Customer Xingqiu asked with some confusion.

Just thinking about that kind of plot made her heart feel very uncomfortable.

Couldn't they just get together smoothly?

Even if not, was there any need to treat Little Dragon Girl like that?!

"Probably, it's a kind of flawed beauty!"

Han Feng deliberated for a moment, then gave his answer.

After all, in most novels, the male lead is dashing and debonair, while the female lead is pure and flawless.

This approach of going against the grain still attracts a lot of attention.

Like in the web novels of the previous life,

there were quite a few people who came up with the novel idea of having the male lead cuckolded in all sorts of ways.

And then taking over!

At the time, it really made certain readers feel like they were dying of agony.

But that was just a thing of that era.

If it were placed in the present,

which shameless author would dare write like that? The readers would flame him to death.

Of course,

besides this, there were some other factors.

For example, the era's background, and the idea that tragic love is more sophisticated.

But there's no need to go through them one by one.

"So that's how it is!"

After Han Feng explained it like this, Customer Xingqiu looked thoughtful.

Yang Guo lost an arm and became disabled, Little Dragon Girl lost her chastity.

Their love was not perfect; it had flaws.

And flaws produce beauty!

Only this way would the love between the two leave a deep impression on people.

If it were left to Customer Xingqiu herself to write it.

It would definitely be Yang Guo appearing at the critical moment,

then defeating that Daoist Priest,

and finally winning the beauty!

But if it were written this way, it would be too cliché!

【Han Feng, Lady Keqing, Customer Xingqiu, Pabushi Society, Daoist Priest, Yang Guo, Little Dragon Girl, The Return of the Condor Heroes】

"No wonder that publishing house rejected the manuscript earlier!"

At this moment, Customer Xingqiu had an epiphany!

She finally understood what she had been writing wrong.

There were no flaws!

When she went back later, she prepared to try imitating this "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

For example, she'd come up with a few female leads too!

Maybe then someone would enjoy reading it!

"But the ending is still good—at the very least, the two of them reunited!

After a while, Customer Xingqiu also sighed.

She could accept a process full of twists and turns, as long as the result was perfect.

"Not necessarily! Who knows, the one Yang Guo meets after sixteen years might not be Little Dragon Girl, but Little Dragon Girl and that Daoist Priest's daughter!

And the real Little Dragon Girl had long since passed away!"

Han Feng said with a beaming smile.

This speculation was, of course, something netizens in his past life had made up out of thin air.

But that didn't stop him from using it to fool others.

"Eh eh? N-no way?"

Hearing this, Customer Xingqiu froze completely.

Did it have to be this brutal?

This was simply harder for her to accept than the earlier Little Dragon Girl plotline.

"Think about it—after sixteen years, Yang Guo already had white hair, but what about Little Dragon Girl?

She's still so young and beautiful—don't you think there's something off about that?"

Han Feng continued to fool her with a perfectly serious face.

He loved most of all watching these little newbies question their entire existence.

But actually, it couldn't really be called fooling.

Because Old Man Jin Yong back then hadn't even planned to give Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl a happy reunion ending.

He had intended to write Little Dragon Girl to death when she jumped off the Jueqing Cliff.

Helpless, the readers of the time refused to accept it.

Under pressure, Old Man Jin Yong gave them this reunion ending.

"H-how could that be?"

Customer Xingqiu was completely dumbfounded.
