He quickly checked Hongdou's pulse and determined that she was healthy and did not have any symptoms of prolonged fasting. The reason she was lying there was simply that she had fallen asleep.

"Hey, even if you're going to sleep, you shouldn't sleep by the door."

Si Ming sighed and reached out to pick the person up, but as soon as he wrapped his arms around the other person's waist, the other person opened their sleepy eyes.

"It's Xiao Ming... Hehe, I dreamed about you again, hug."

Hongdou's face broke into a silly smile, full of childlike innocence. She reached out and hugged Si Ming, rubbing her head against his chest for a while.

Si Ming didn't move, carefully feeling the texture of her hands. Hongdou wasn't the kind of skinny person who was bony, nor was she the kind of person who was chubby. Her limbs were relatively slender, and due to her long-term painting, her upper arms had well-proportioned soft muscles that felt very elastic to the touch. In contrast, her legs seemed rather soft.

Generally speaking, girls with this body type are mostly flat-chested. The saying goes that when you lose weight, you lose breasts first, and when you gain weight, you gain Hongdou first. But Hongdou has an enviable pair of breasts. When they hug each other, there is a noticeable squeezing sensation, as if a water balloon is sandwiched between them.

In a sense, Hongdou fits the image of a busty anime girl, who is thin everywhere else but has a large chest.

To be honest, people with this kind of physique on Earth either achieve it through surgery or have health problems. If Hongdou didn't have Internal Cultivation to support her and allow her to mess around with it, she would definitely be the latter. In fact, if she hadn't absorbed the Spirit King's cultivation, with her original Internal Cultivation, it might not have been a problem before she turned forty, but after forty, it would be hard to say.

After a moment, seemingly realizing something, Hongdou stopped rubbing her head and murmured, "Strange, why is it warm this time? It's so cozy to hug?"

She looked up, stared at Si Ming's face for a long while, and then exclaimed in realization, "It's not a dream! It's True Person! Xiao Ming, you're back!"

Si Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I was startled to see you collapsed at the door when I got back. I thought you had fainted from hunger again."

Hongdou rubbed her stomach, which obligingly growled. She chuckled sheepishly, "I am indeed hungry."

"Then I'll take you to the kitchen and see what we can make. If we have noodles, we'll make you some."

Si Ming wanted to put her down, but Hongdou refused, hugging his neck and pretending to sleep, deliberately making "humming" sounds.

"Is it really that much of a difference?"

Si Ming had no choice but to carry the person to the kitchen, which took less than half a minute, and then put the person on a chair.

As he looked for something to cook, he asked, "You still haven't told me what happened. Why are you sleeping by the door?"

Hongdou recalled, "When I was watching TV before, the people there said that as long as you have a sword in your heart, no matter what weapon you hold in your hand, you can use it as a sword. This is the state of returning to simplicity in the way of the sword."

"That makes some sense, but it doesn't require a return to simplicity. Swordsmanship is Swordsmanship, and a sword is a sword. There are countless kinds of swords in the world, and they don't have a fixed form. As long as your martial arts are high enough, you can use Swordsmanship with a tree branch... and then what?"

"Then the man took out two spiked clubs, claiming he was using a combination of two swords, and in just a few moves he made his opponent vomit blood."

Si Ming nearly popped the egg out of the pan, and said irritably, "I'm not asking about the plot of the TV series, but what does it have to do with you... By the way, what's the name of this TV series? It sounds interesting."

"In the eighth installment of 'The Legend of the Divine Radish Hero,' the director reportedly wanted to innovate and cater to the tastes of young people, so he went for a comedic approach, even changing the name of the special move from 'Sure Enough Radish Slash' to 'Divine Radish Heavenly Subjugation,' saying it would sound cooler when the Narrator-kun shouted it."

"I've made a note of the TV series; I'll watch it later. But let's get back to your matter."

Hongdou scratched her head and said, "Let me think... since Swordsmanship doesn't necessarily involve using a sword, then sleeping doesn't necessarily mean lying in bed. As long as you have a bed in your mind, you can sleep anywhere. Besides, going to bed is too troublesome. Whenever you feel sleepy, you can just lie down on the floor and sleep. That way, you can save a lot of time."

"... It's clearly a fallacy, and for a moment I couldn't think of a rebuttal."

Si Ming silently cooked the noodles, poured them into a large bowl, and then served them at the table.

Hongdou picked up her chopsticks and said happily, "It's been so long since I've had Xiao Ming's cooking."

She picked up a noodle and took a bite. It seemed too hot, so she stuck out her pink cat tongue. Then she used her True Qi to protect her tongue and throat and slurped it down, showing no sign of being dignified or virtuous at all.

Si Ming, resting his chin on his hand, said, "My skills are just passable; they can't compare to Murong Qing's or Lu Mao's."

But I just love eating what you make.

"..."

I feel like my goodwill towards her has been reversed. She's just a Hongdou, yet she's so eloquent. Could she be an imposter?

"By the way, did anything happen at home while I was away for two months?"

Hongdou stopped what she was doing, maintaining the position of just stuffing the noodles into her mouth, completely oblivious to maintaining her image as a pretty girl. After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't know. It seems like it happened, but it also seems like it didn't... Even if something did happen, the class monitor and Xiao Ying took care of it. I spent two months drawing in the basement, and it felt like it passed in the blink of an eye."

After slurping the noodles into her mouth, she suddenly remembered something. So, while chewing like a squirrel with her cheeks puffed out, she said in a muffled voice, "Oh, right, Liu Yihao wants to talk to you."

Swallow it before you speak.

Hongdou quickly swallowed her drink and said, "Auntie Liu told me that when you come back, she'll ask you to call her. It seems she has something to discuss with you."

"Okay, you eat here for now, I'll go make a phone call."

Si Ming went to the lobby, picked up the home phone, dialed a work number, and after a few rings, the call was answered.

"Hello, is this Auntie Liu? This is Si Ming."

"Is Qingqing back safely?" Auntie Liu didn't immediately talk about work.

"Hmm, judging by the time, I should be home by now."

Not only did she return safely, but she also became a substitute user. Even if her cultivation level doesn't improve in the future, just based on that Blood Spirit Clone whose Foundation surpasses the Peak Spirit Transformation stage, even Spirit Transformation experts will have to give her some face.

After confirming her daughter's safety, Aunt Liu immediately got down to business. "Your 'Ghosts and Gods: The Three Kingdoms - Wei Kingdom Chapter' has received an excellent market response. It's now in its fourth reprint, with cumulative sales of eight million copies. This achievement is enough to contend for the annual bestseller list. It has also boosted the sales of the previous Shu Kingdom and Wu Kingdom chapters. In short, the royalties this time are very considerable. You can look forward to it."

Si Ming sensed bad news in the congratulations. "You don't mean you want me to write the next Official History Arc, do you? Didn't we agree to publish one book a year?"

"From the perspective of optimizing popularity, publishing three books every two years is necessary to maintain the buzz. Therefore, you'd better finish writing the Official History Arc within a month. I'll contact the publisher and strike while the iron is hot to promote it, guaranteeing that the Wei State Arc will achieve even greater success, and might even win the bestseller crown this year."

Damn it, I'm the martial arts leader who saved the world. It's fine if I come back to school, after all, there are so many examples of "predecessors". And going to school is a happy thing as long as I don't study. But to make me a miserable writing machine again is unbearable.

"Auntie Liu, have you ever heard the saying, 'The great leader Tagore Guevara' once said that it's impossible to add more chapters, he'll never add more chapters in his life, he can only make a living by 'delaying' (lazy/procrastinating)?"
