"Elder Brother Li said, 'Although I don't have the Great Accomplishment of Divine Skills right now, I'm at the level of the Wudang Seven Heroes from the novel.'
Hanno raised both thumbs and asked, 'Why is it that modern cultivation can't produce Inner Power, while ancient times could?'
Elder Brother Li replied, 'Perhaps the world is different and has its limitations.'
Hanno frowned, 'That's frustrating!'
Elder Brother Li chuckled, 'Why don't you give it a try? What if you succeed?'
Hanno shook her head, 'No thanks. In modern times, martial arts aren't needed. It's your side where martial arts are crucial. Didn't the emperor make you the Provincial Governor of the Capital? That position is powerful but also dangerous; you need to be careful.'
Elder Brother Li smiled, 'I'm so happy that my wife cares about me!'
Hanno rolled her eyes, 'Whatever!'
Elder Brother Li continued, 'I heard from Li Yishu and Zhou Le Ci that at first, the Porcelain Jar could only transport food and some objects. Later on, the types of objects it could transport gradually increased, and eventually it could even connect video calls. Do you know how that happened?'
This question was very important. According to Li Yishu and Li Zhoule, it seemed that the Porcelain Jar could upgrade itself: first transporting items, then connecting video calls. Would it eventually connect audio calls? Or even allow people to travel between worlds? If so, would he and Hanno finally be able to be together? He could embrace his fiancée instead of being separated by two worlds like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
Hanno's expression became serious. 'I do know a bit about that.'
She then recounted the plot of Hong Kong Entertainment Dream and her own experience of crossing over to Elder Brother Li. She speculated, 'I’m sure that Andy Lau in there is you crossing over. It should be that your Porcelain Jar recognized you as its master while mine recognized me as its master. However, perhaps your Porcelain Jar isn't with you, so there's not enough energy for you to regain your memories. I regained mine at the last moment and obtained a gem that allows the Porcelain Jar to upgrade.'
After listening, Elder Brother Li found it hard to believe. But with the Porcelain Jar right in front of him allowing communication with his lover from another world, such a clear treasure made it hard to dismiss the idea of crossing over to other worlds or even his own wife's world.
Elder Brother Li laughed, 'I never expected I could become a King Superstar! But Nono, if I crossed over to your world, aside from obtaining the gem for upgrading the Porcelain Jar, would it have any impact on you?'”
"Hanno: If it affects me, my English level, which just reached the fourth grade, would skyrocket to the point where I could curse in British slang and write in English, rivaling J.K. Rowling and Fanny Mer."
"Elder Brother Li: I know J.K. Rowling, but who is Fanny Mer?"
"Hanno: She's the author of Twilight."
Elder Brother Li responded with six dots.
"Elder Brother Li: Is it true that every time you cross into one of your worlds, you gain the skills of the person you're inhabiting?"
"Hanno" narrowed his eyes. "What are you planning?"
Elder Brother Li smiled. "Don't you already know what I'm thinking?"
Hanno: I really don't want to know, but—
"Hanno: What kind of world do you want to go to?"
"Elder Brother Li: A martial arts world, I want to improve my skills."
Hanno frowned. "That's too dangerous."
"Elder Brother Li: You can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. Nono, aren't we crossing into your protagonist's world? As long as you don't become a wicked stepmother, we should be safe."
In fact, Hanno quite liked the idea of being a wicked stepmother: "……"
"Alright. So which martial arts world are we crossing into?"
Elder Brother Li thought for a moment. "In Gu Long's stories, people inexplicably become masters without any martial arts inheritance. It should be the Golden Giant, after all, I'm currently learning the Nine Yang Divine Skill."
Hanno replied, "I just finished writing a piece related to The Smiling Proud Wanderer, and I really don't want to write anymore. After Laughing Proudly, martial arts have declined significantly. Although there's Dugu Nine Swords, you can also find it in The Divine Condor. So would you prefer to go to The Divine Condor or The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
Elder Brother Li shrugged. "Either is fine. I enjoy both."
Hanno chuckled mischievously. "I've made my decision; I won't write either of those. I'm going to write fanfiction for The Eight Dragons."
Elder Brother Li shook his head helplessly yet affectionately. "Do as you please."
Hanno responded with a playful expression.
As the energy of the Porcelain Jar was exhausted, the video ended. Hanno contentedly hugged her laptop and headed home, humming a tune: "Follow me, left hand right hand in slow motion, right hand left hand slow motion replay. This song brings you joy; have you fallen in love with me..."
When Hanno returned to her room, Mom Han poked Dad Han. "Our daughter looks so happy; she wouldn't have found a boyfriend, would she?"
Dad Han glanced at Mom Han. "If she found a boyfriend, shouldn't you be happy?"
Mom Han replied, "I'm afraid she'll get deceived."
Dad Han countered, "Our daughter is grown up; how could she easily be fooled? Or do you not trust her judgment?"
Mom Han insisted, "I absolutely trust my daughter's judgment; it's just that I feel uneasy not having met him!"
"Next time, let our daughter bring someone home for you to evaluate," Han Dad said.
Mom Han slapped her thigh. "Old man, you've finally come up with a useful idea. Let's have Nono hurry and bring someone back."
Han Dad rubbed his sore thigh. "You slapped my thigh. And what about my mom?"
Setting aside the banter between Han Dad and Mom Han, the scene shifted to Hanno's room. After returning to her room, Hanno didn't open her computer to type; her first action was to call her cousin-in-law. Among the Han family, Hanno's cousin-in-law had married well; he was the director of the Public Security Bureau in the Provincial Capital, a position of considerable influence.
"Nono, what a surprise to receive a call from you!" her cousin-in-law's voice came through the phone, cheerful and warm.
"Brother-in-law, I have something I’d like your help with," Hanno said politely. She wasn't as close to her cousin-in-law as she was with her older female cousins or other relatives.
"It's rare for Nono to ask me for help; I'll do my best to assist you," he replied. Given his current status, many people sought his assistance, but the Hanno family had never troubled him before, which earned them his respect and made him more eager to help them.
Hanno expressed her gratitude and explained, "A friend of mine has lost their household registration and identification for certain reasons. I’d like to ask if you could help them get replacements."
"I see," her cousin-in-law said. "Just give me your friend's name, date of birth, and some basic information."
"His name is Li Wei Feng, male, twenty-six years old this year. He was born on..." Hanno provided an address—her newly purchased house from just yesterday. She thought about how Li Wei Feng would definitely return to this world; she wanted to prepare a home and identification for him in advance.
What a considerate girlfriend! Li Wei Feng, you're so lucky! You must cherish this!
After hanging up the phone, Hanno jumped up joyfully and flopped onto her bed, rolling around several times until she finally calmed down. She patted her cheeks and thought about how she could reunite with her boyfriend in another world. Quickly sitting up, she returned to her desk and turned on her computer.
What name should she choose next?
The Dragon's Ascendancy is ready. I want to experience what it feels like to be the Queen and Emperor with my boyfriend.
Hanno began drafting the outline: a modern girl travels back in time to become Abby, a maid of Murong Fu. When she arrives, Abby is just a three or four-year-old girl. Murong Bo has already faked his death, and Murong Fu is being forced by his mother to learn literature and martial arts, instilling in him the idea of Restoration of the State, making him work like a dog. Abby sympathizes with the young Murong Fu, always following him around, caring for him, and warming him with her smile. She becomes the only splash of warmth in Murong Fu's growing years.
As she grows older, Abby pretends to be genuine and points out that the Murong Family has no soldiers or power. She makes Murong Fu realize that relying on these people from the martial world will not help him seize the throne; as soon as he shows any intention of rebellion, the Song Kingdom's army will easily turn Swallow's Nest into ashes. Just because those martial artists are powerful doesn't mean they haven't heard of "a chaotic fist can kill a master."
Then, influenced by Abby, Murong Fu shifts his gaze overseas, taking four generals from Nihong as a base to expand vigorously. Eventually, he conquers all of Nihong and reestablishes the Great Yan Empire on its former territory. Abby becomes Murong Fu's Queen, living a happy life with him. At the same time, Qiao Feng and A Zhu join them in Great Yan, never to return to the Central Plains, avoiding its storms and turmoil, allowing them to grow old together.
Hanno poked at Snow Vegetable's profile picture and sent over the completed outline.
Snow Vegetable: (┳＿┳)… Dear, you finally started a new story.
A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold: Patting the dog's head. My dear, it's not that I didn't want to start; I just lacked inspiration for a while.
Snow Vegetable: Thank you for finally having inspiration! Although stories about traveling into The Dragon are everywhere now, you're the first one to become Abby. Go ahead and write; I have faith in you.
A Promise is Worth a Thousand Gold: So I can start writing?
Snow Vegetable: Yes, go ahead!
With her editor's encouragement, Hanno confidently began writing her new story. She had a friend who also wrote online; once when starting a new story without communicating well with her editor, she posted it online first. The editor then asked her to change the protagonist from male to female. She had no choice but to revise it afterward, resulting in a chaotic beginning that drew criticism from readers. Hanno did not want to repeat her friend's mistakes.
In her room, Hanno worked hard typing away. In her rented apartment, the Porcelain Jar emitted a faint blue light that seemed to melt under the sunlight. Hanno forgot that when she was typing Hong Kong Entertainment Dream before, she had kept the Porcelain Jar close by; now she was quite far from it, causing her focus to waver...
