"I understand your senior brother’s ambition to showcase his talents, but even so, don’t go deleting those essential plot points..."
The owner looked quite disappointed. Although he also felt that the previous ending where Xiaoqing and Xu Xian eloped was too abrupt, he was rely a businessman. What he cared about wasn’t the quality of the book, but rather how well it sold.
The soul of The Legend of the White Snake that made it a bestseller had been removed. How could that even be called a New Edition? Naturally, the owner, who hoped to expand his business with this New Edition of White Snake, didn’t buy Ji Xueruo’s account.
It wasn’t until Ji Xueruo recalculated the debt the bookstore owner owed You Su that the owner reluctantly agreed that the future editions of White Snake would be this New Edition.
Ji Xueruo, lost in the book for who knows how long, finally ca back to her senses. Satisfied, she took a sip of tea and closed the book, as if already envisioning the appreciative expressions of the people who would see the New Edition’s ending.
You Su and Ms. Bai, after enduring hardships, finally beca a couple. Now that’s a reasonable, good story...
"Huh? When did The Legend of the White Snake get a New Edition?"
A charming young girl in a beautifully embroidered green dress stood next to Ji Xueruo, curiously inspecting the book on the table.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ji Xueruo looked up, her pupils instantly shrinking like beans. She quickly withdrew her gaze and said with a smile,
"Have you read The Legend of the White Snake, miss?"
She appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was frantic, her heart pounding like a drum. She kept encouraging herself, thinking that this foolish sister probably hadn’t recognized her.
"Yes, yes, I am a loyal fan of ’The Undefeated Junior Sister’. Could you lend the book for a look? I’ll treat you to tea."
Ji Lingruo blinked her bright, beautiful eyes twice, looking so pitifully pleading that it was hard to refuse.
"I’m about to board the Divine Feather Ship, so it might not be convenient. If you head further into Central Continent, you can easily buy it."
Ji Xueruo didn’t want a sisterly reunion at this mont. She just wanted to escape quickly.
"Is it your first ti on the Divine Feather Ship, miss? Once it docks, it stays for five days and won’t depart so quickly. You still have five days to wait, so there’s no rush to board." Ji Lingruo continued pleading; it was clear she was genuinely interested in this New Edition of White Snake.
"Well..." Ji Xueruo hesitated a bit.
"No need to stress, miss. I have a copy of the New Edition, too. Just borrow mine."
At the nearby tea table, a handso young man offered with a book in hand, his eyes shining brightly.
"Scram! A grown man reading The Legend of the White Snake can’t be up to any good!"
Who would have thought that the mischievous Ji Lingruo would suddenly beco wide-eyed and imposing? The young man, recognizing her cultivation close to the Middle Spirit Platform Realm, could only retreat awkwardly.
Around them, many won nodded in agreent after hearing this.
Seeing this, Ji Xueruo sighed lightly and pushed the book forward:
"Since we’re fellow book enthusiasts, let’s be friends. Please, take it, miss."
"Great! Thank you! You’re so nice, I’ll treat you to tea!" Ji Lingruo imdiately turned back into her lively, youthful self and cheerfully called to the waiter, "Waiter, bring your best green tea! The greenest kind!"
Why the insistence on extrely green tea?
Ji Xueruo was puzzled, thinking her sister’s tastes were a bit odd, drinking cool green tea when the weather had clearly turned cold.
While she was wondering, Ji Lingruo, already seated, cast a subtly proud glance at this plain-looking woman in a white dress.
Sister, oh sister, it seems like only I understand the code words the senior brother speaks.
If you want to win over a man, you’re far from it...
