"This novel actually got a second volume."
"That's quite unexpected."
Qiu Bai touched his chin, looking at this novel and complaining.
Then he turned around to see Raiden Ei watching him with a curious expression.
She seemed to have developed very strong curiosity about this light novel.
"They are indeed those two deities from Liyue."
"However, this is all imagined by the common folk, fictional content that isn't real."
Kuroda looked at Raiden Ei in front of him and explained.
"It's not real?"
"Then why write it?"
Raiden Ei looked at Kuroda in front of her and asked with confusion.
"Well... because recently, that Immortal Lord appeared and destroyed an ancient god."
"The divine display of power attracted a lot of attention, so this novel came about."
Kuroda scratched the back of his head and explained.
"The Archon War..."
"Weren't you born a thousand years ago? How could you appear in the Archon War?"
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai beside her and asked with a confused expression.
"Mm... I'm quite puzzled about this too."
"Although I lost three thousand years of blank memories, it's true that I was born a thousand years ago."
Qiu Bai folded his arms across his chest, looked at Raiden Ei in front of him, and explained with a furrowed brow.
His age was over five thousand years, with three thousand blank years.
Born a thousand years ago, and the following thousand years brought him to the present time.
"If only I could still remember you."
"If I remembered you... I could tell you about it."
Raiden Ei lowered her head and murmured sadly.
"These things will be figured out eventually."
"You don't need to blame yourself."
Qiu Bai looked at Raiden Ei with her head down and comforted her gently.
"But this book, 'The Archon War: The Untold Secrets Between the Immortal Lord and the Geo Lord.'"
"This content is indeed not real."
As soon as Qiu Bai said this title, he immediately covered his head and said with some headache.
That fox really could come up with all sorts of strange novels.
"Mm..."
"Then let's go look at those novels over there."
Raiden Ei raised her head upon hearing this, with a smile on her face, and spoke.
"Let's go."
Qiu Bai smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then led Raiden Ei toward the nearby bookshelf.
Raiden Ei picked up a light novel and read for a while.
Then she looked at several more books in succession, her expression gradually changing from expectation to confusion.
"Mm... how can this be?"
"Did I underestimate them?"
Raiden Ei put down the light novel and said with confusion.
"I clearly recognize all the words in these book titles..."
"Why do they become incomprehensible when put together?"
Raiden Ei looked at the light novels on the bookshelf and said with a puzzled expression.
"For example, this one: 'Reincarnated as a Hilichurl, I Can Keep Getting Stronger Just by Eating Sunsettias...'"
"So long..."
Raiden Ei touched her chin and said with some confusion.
"Hahaha..."
"By universal rationality, it is indeed quite long."
Qiu Bai folded his arms across his chest, looked at Raiden Ei in front of him, and said with a laugh.
"Can Hilichurls really get stronger just by eating Sunsettias?"
"At least they should eat meat."
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and asked with confusion.
"This is the setting of this book."
"It's something imagined by the author, a hypothetical thing."
Qiu Bai looked at Raiden Ei in front of him and explained.
"Setting... what are settings used for?"
"Without a sense of reality, would the written story still be believable?"
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and asked with incomprehension.
"Also, Hilichurls shouldn't have the ability to write stories, right?"
"Is the author recording the life of Hilichurls?"
Raiden Ei folded her arms across her chest and pondered.
"Mm..."
"It's not exactly a story written by Hilichurls."
Qiu Bai looked at the confused Raiden Ei in front of him and thought for a moment.
"I'll help you pick out novels that are easier to understand."
"Then I'll explain them to Ei."
Qiu Bai raised his head, looked at Raiden Ei in front of him, and said with a light smile.
"Mm, I consider myself well-read."
"But reading such stories, I don't even know what I should focus on..."
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her and nodded with a smile.
"But I'm still very much looking forward to it."
"It feels very much like Miko style, it must be very interesting."
Raiden Ei placed one hand on her chest, looked at Qiu Bai in front of her, and spoke with a gentle smile on her face.
"Mm..."
"Let me take a look."
Qiu Bai walked to the bookshelf and said while touching his chin.
"'The Archon War: The Untold Secrets Between the Immortal Lord and the Geo Lord.'"
"'Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, Then Became Invincible.'"
"'Reincarnated as the Vortex Archon, Facing the Yin-Yang Twin Adeptus.'"
"'About My Chaotic Pure Love Story.'"
"'A Person in Jianghu Who Just Wants to Write Novels Properly.'"
"'Records of Autumn Sword Picking, Volume One and Volume Two.'"
Qiu Bai looked at the light novels on the bookshelf in front of him and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
His destruction of the Vortex God Osial had such a high degree of circulation among the seven nations of Teyvat.
That made sense... after all, being able to witness a true deity destroy an Archon in this era was quite rare.
"Hehe... but this 'Reincarnated as Osial' is quite interesting."
"I'll buy it and read it when I'm bored, to see how Osial resists me."
Qiu Bai folded his arms across his chest, looked at "Reincarnated as the Vortex Archon, Facing the Yin-Yang Immortal" on the bookshelf.
He smiled and nodded, then casually took it.
"This one, 'A Person in Jianghu Who Just Wants to Write Novels Properly.'"
"It's about a protagonist who pursues his wishes to the end, it should give Ei some ideas."
Qiu Bai picked up this light novel and nodded.
Moreover, this novel was set in Liyue story background.
"Could it be that this was actually written by Xingqiu?"
Qiu Bai touched his chin and muttered strangely.
He shook his head and walked to Raiden Ei.
He explained the content of this light novel to Ei.
"Are the hearts of Liyue people really so complex now?"
"In comparison, although the protagonist has been unwilling to face his talent, he is indeed a rare righteous person."
Raiden Ei lightly clenched her hands into fists at her waist and murmured.
"Where is he now?"
"Does he have plans to come to Inazuma?"
"I want to have the Tri-Commission invite him to fight me."
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai in front of her, her cute innocent face speaking seriously.
At this moment, far away in Liyue Harbor, Xingqiu was sitting by lamplight, flipping through the novel he had written.
Suddenly he shivered.
"Strange..."
"Why did I suddenly feel cold?"
Xingqiu quickly grabbed the clothes beside him and put on an extra layer, muttering strangely to himself.
