Old Stories

"Abstract concepts are actually very eye-catching."

"There's no need for that. As the saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad..."

Hearing this, Ruan Mei nodded in agreement. She wholeheartedly agreed, thinking that the operas of the new era of Xianzhou were utter nonsense.

Innovation is so extreme it's almost killing people.

"Are there any more traditional creative ideas?"

"Something more traditional?"

Ugh, clients who only give a rough idea are the most annoying.

"How about Lin Zhaoyu's sword challenge against Yan Shiluo?"

"Yan Shiluo?" The name made Ruan Mei pause for thought. "I remember... one of the heads of the company's talent incentive department is named Yan Shilu."

Don't ask, the answer is simply that the name "Honkai: Star Rail" is reused.

Liu Bai naturally heard Ruan Mei's mutterings, but he didn't take them seriously.

The similarities between Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai: Star Rail are enough for these people to fill in their own imaginations.

Yunjin's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Bai's words.

"Yan Shiluo... Yan Shiluo... Oh! He was the leader of the Demonic Sect, who was known as 'Second in the World' and 'Unrivaled in Shenzhou Arts' decades ago, before the decline of the Divine Continent Sects!"

Yunjin has a surprisingly broad range of knowledge.

"A few words were recorded in the miscellaneous notes passed down in the family."

Decades ago... Sure enough, because Taixu turned to cultivating immortality, the first few of the Seven Swordsmen were not very young, and the age difference was magnified.

"However, our family is just a theater troupe, and we know very little about the Demonic Cult. So they were killed... Well, it's not unexpected."

Yunjin nodded.

She originally thought that the demonic sects had simply been eliminated by the times, but it seems there was more to the story.

... If you think about it carefully, perhaps it can be called the "swan song" of that era of martial arts competition?

If Liu Bai knew Yunjin's thoughts, he would probably just laugh. Most of those so-called martial arts masters probably couldn't even pass the B-rank Valkyrie. Yan Shiluo, as the "second best in the world," is already extremely outstanding as a pseudo -Herrscher.

Then this guy was defeated by Lin Zhaoyu, the eldest sister of the Seven Swords, who was the weakest among them, with three sword strikes.

And afterwards, he successfully gained three loli junior sisters—if you look at it that way, Yan Shiluo seems quite important.

"A very good idea!" Yunjin thought about it and felt it was more and more reliable.

There are many novels and novels on the theme of martial arts, but there doesn't seem to be any dramas.

If they can successfully create a script in this area, they might actually attract a huge wave of popularity.

"That... script..."

Speaking of this, Yunjin a little embarrassed. She really couldn't bring herself to do something like getting a script for free.

But they didn't have anything particularly impressive about their own products.

"I don't know the script, and I wasn't a participant in it." Bai Yi shrugged, completely baffling Yunjin.

But the next moment, Yunjin realized what she meant by "I wasn't a witness"?

In other words, Liu Bai knew the people who experienced it firsthand?

That Lin Zhaoyu? Or someone else?

Although the name Lin Zhaoyu sounds somewhat feminine, Yunjin still pictured an elderly man with white hair and a youthful face.

"It's started, the Boss Liu's operation to abduct beautiful girls," Guinaifen muttered under her breath.

Yunjin: "..."

"He needs to be taught a lesson." Bai rolled his eyes.

"Mmm..." Yunjin responded somewhat awkwardly, then gave Guinaifen a strange look.

She really hadn't realized that Guinaifen was so easily jealous—after all, a normal person wouldn't take such a statement to heart.

She felt embarrassed simply because she felt she had been wronged.

"Then I would be grateful if Liu Bai could introduce me to someone," Yunjin said, bowing. "May I exchange contact information?"

"Can."

The two added each other as friends.

Yunjin's nickname is simple: Yun-Han Opera Troupe · Yunjin.

And Liu Bai's...

"The most beautiful and cruel angel Eden...?"

Wait, something's not right, is it?

View historical nicknames.

"Magical Girl Eden", "Firepower Girl Eden", "The Most Beautiful Magical Girl Eden Eden- chan"?

... Are these two really not boyfriend and girlfriend?

Upon hearing Yunjin's mutterings, a certain string in Eden's mind suddenly snapped, and he immediately locked Liu Bai in a rear naked choke from behind.

"You're coming up with random names again! I'll kill you!"

"Who taught you the rear naked choke?!"

"Of course it's Rita!"

"Didn't Rita tell you that if your breasts are too big..."

"I'll kill you, you bastard!" Dian's face flushed red, and he decisively increased the force of his blows.

"... Is everything alright?" Yunjin wanted to call for help—and why did Eden suddenly become a different person?

"It's nothing, he brought it on himself." Guinaifen rolled her eyes.

Both of them are.

One person changed their name randomly, and the other filled in a note unaware that Liu Bai was changing their name randomly...

"In short, this kind of thing must never happen again."

Eden glared fiercely at Liu Bai.

"Now! Change your nickname back to your normal name right now."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Helpless, Bai changed his nickname to the unremarkable "Liu Bai".

Let's find an opportunity to change it back later.

After all, an online nickname should at least leave a lasting impression on others.

"Speaking of which, you learned martial arts from Rita?"

"What's wrong?" Dian rolled her eyes at Liu Bai. "Is there a problem?"

"It's hard to imagine that Rita would use such... well, such ordinary fighting techniques."

"What's so ordinary about it?" Dian subconsciously glanced at his collar.

Although Liu Bai took advantage of me during the naked choke, it didn't feel too bad.

"Hmm... I feel like Rita is the type who would use her thighs to trap people."

"Actually, you want to be sandwiched between someone's thighs, right?"

Stop slandering me.

"Heh." Dian let out a cold laugh, mocking Liu Bai's hypocrisy.

But then again, my thighs aren't any worse than Rita's.

Although her flexibility is indeed not as good as Rita's.

Eden seriously doubted that Rita could fold herself up.

"Little Gui, I can also use my thighs to clamp you," Guinaifen said hesitantly from the side.

She remembered Liu Bai praising her black stockings.

"Cough cough!"

Yunjin coughed lightly from the side.

She feels like she understands it all, but there's also something she doesn't quite understand.

However, one thing is certain—I seem to be the third wheel right now.

This is probably a first for her in her life...

"Um, then we won't disturb Mr. Yun any longer." Bai also realized that this was not a place for flirting.

"Let me see you off. Also, the performance fee has already been transferred to your account, Ms. Gui."

Yunjin warmly saw Liu Bai and the others off from the opera troupe.

No sooner had Liu Bai left than other people approached Yunjin.

"Huh? Am I late?"

"It just ended. If you guys want to watch, you can wait for the evening show at 7 pm."

"Shi Bao?" Bai suddenly turned around with the people around him.

"Hey, Liu Bai."

"Liu Bai."

Shi Bao and the Tai Xu disciples around him greeted Liu Bai.

"It's all Sushang's fault, all she does is eat." After seeing Liu Bai Shi Bao slapped Li Sushang on the back of the head.

"Huh? What does that have to do with me?"

Li Sushang had no respect for her nominal grandmaster.

"You were the one who got me to buy it! And you ate the most!"

"Children are not allowed to make false accusations!"

"You still have meat stuck between your teeth!"

"Two little devils," Cheng Lingshuang commented sharply, arms crossed.

"Senior sister..." Qin Suyi looked helplessly at her sharp-tongued and cold-faced fifth senior sister.

Being with these people makes even a hardcore otaku like myself seem like a normal person.

However, Qin Suyi then remembered something and pushed the person standing behind her in a daze forward.

"By the way, Liu Bai, let me introduce you. This is Shenhe, a disciple of Cloud Retainer."

"...?"

Shenhe looked slightly confused.

"Shenhe, this is a distinguished guest of our Taixu Sword School... well, perhaps... no, he is a distinguished guest."

It's hard for Qin Suyi to say whether Liu Bai will become her brother-in-law or her master first.

However, there is definitely a hint of this.

"Hello, my name is Shenhe. My destiny is one of loneliness and misfortune, which makes me prone to hurting those around me."

"We don't need to explain the second half to you," Qin Suyi instructed.

The fact that this group of people has made it this far shows that each of them is incredibly resilient.

No, to put it bluntly, which of the Seven Swords of Taixu is not destined for loneliness and misfortune?

The eldest sister is an orphan of a cult. The third, fourth, and fifth sisters—who knows where Yan Shiluo kidnapped them from when they were children?

Second Senior Sister, her, and Sixth Senior Brother all had their parents and family members Honkai zombie for them.
