Because there was no rush for time, after dealing with a group of troublemakers from the Spirit Hall branch in Hanhai City, the group stayed in Hanhai City for another three days.
You Mengchu and Dugu Bo took the Demon Empress mother and daughter around to get them as familiar as possible with the human world, while Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress went sightseeing everywhere, enjoying this rare moment of leisure and romance.
The scenery around Hanhai City was beautiful, and the environment pleasant; it was a rare vacation spot. Although this was a fantasy world, not everyone had to be like those talented and resourceful soul masters who spent every day cultivating and fighting. Ordinary people without cultivation talent naturally wouldn't waste time on that path, not to mention that Hanhai City was an economic hub with a massive daily flow of people coming and going.
During these three days, Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress watched the sunrise and sunset, strolled along the beach as the tides rose and fell, experiencing the happiness of ordinary life. The smile on the Snow Empress's face grew more and more frequent, the innate coldness in her bones gradually faded when she was by Shen Hanyu's side, and she was slowly shifting toward a tsundere demeanor.
When Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress returned to the hotel again, the Demon Empress and a somewhat drowsy Lan Fozi were sitting on the sofa chatting idly. Upon seeing Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress, the Demon Empress gave a light nod as a greeting.
You Mengchu was sitting at the wooden table, fully focused on writing something. Her concentration was so intense that she completely ignored the sound of Shen Hanyu and the others opening the door and their footsteps. Several ancient books were scattered on the table in front of her.
The Snow Empress and Shen Hanyu exchanged a few quiet words, then the Snow Empress got up and returned to the room alone, leaving Shen Hanyu to have a simple chat with the Demon Empress's mother and daughter.
Even so, You Mengchu never once looked up from start to finish, still immersed in her own world. The speed of her pen moving across the paper had even created afterimages. In less than two minutes, she tore up what she had written and started over, occasionally flipping through the ancient books.
Shen Hanyu watched You Mengchu and suddenly remembered those students from his previous life who tried to create miracles the night before the start of school. Their writing speed back then was probably even faster than You Mengchu's.
Shen Hanyu slowly moved closer, slightly bending down to glance at it.
"A New Definition of Soul Beast Cultivation Limits on the Continent and Some Outlines…"
Seeing this title, Shen Hanyu was momentarily stunned, then said with some amusement:
"Are you planning to publish a book?"
You Mengchu paused, then quickly used a nearby book to cover what she was still writing.
"When did you get here?"
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow and said:
"Not long ago. I came in, chatted a bit with the Demon Empress and the others, saw you were so engrossed, so I came over to take a look."
You Mengchu breathed a sigh of relief, then said somewhat nervously:
"What exactly did you see just now?"
Shen Hanyu said helplessly:
"Pretty much everything. So, are you planning to publish a book?"
You Mengchu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:
"If you want to think of it that way, sure. One of the other reasons I came to the continent besides detoxifying was to learn. You probably can't tell, but I'm half a scholar. I plan to organize what I've learned so far and publish it; it's also fulfilling a small wish of mine."
Shen Hanyu let out a light laugh and teased:
"You sure have ideas. Tsk tsk, if most of the content didn't come from me, I'd have to praise you for it."
You Mengchu was momentarily speechless. What Shen Hanyu said was completely accurate. Indeed, most of the unknown secrets she had were obtained from Shen Hanyu or the people around him.
"Even so, as a scholar, my reverence for knowledge does not allow me to keep it private. When it comes to publishing, every part of the content has special significance. If you want, it can be published under your name."
Seeing You Mengchu say this, Shen Hanyu yawned and said:
"No need, just publish it under your name. I find it troublesome. But the continent could use some ripples now. Still, let me remind you: many things should be kept moderate. Letting some people know too much isn't good for the current situation; it could easily cause large-scale turmoil and panic."
You Mengchu nodded. Although she wasn't a native of the Douluo Continent, she roughly understood how tense the situation on the continent was right now. Not to mention other aspects, the two great empires had already been secretly expanding their armies for who knows how long.
The Spirit Hall's actions were even more blatant. Soul master forces and powerhouses were constantly being gathered and controlled by the Spirit Hall. The ambition and ruthlessness of Pope Bibi Dong were no secret to people of their level, and the Spirit Hall branches in the two great empires were also taking action. An invisible net was quietly spreading over the entire continent.
And at this moment, if something appeared that could divert their attention and focus, it would have considerable influence on the situation and could, to some extent, accelerate or delay the outbreak of war on the continent.
Shen Hanyu thought for a moment, then took out a notebook from his soul guide device and handed it to You Mengchu, saying:
"This contains my records and detailed explanations of some little-known things. I originally planned to leave it for A-Yu and the other girls. Since you can use it now, I'll lend it to you first. Try to control the upper limit of the content."
You Mengchu took the notebook, hesitated for a moment, and still said:
"You won't think I'm plagiarizing your theoretical achievements and the fame that comes after?"
Shen Hanyu smiled faintly and said:
"You're not that kind of person. In my eyes, although you're a bit older and have a fiercer temper, I can see that your bottom line is very firm. You're not the type to casually adjust your principles up and down."
"Secondly, fame? Fame can't bring real status or strength. On the contrary, it becomes a hidden threat. Once someone becomes a standout in this regard, many eyes will fall on them. They will crave to obtain more to strengthen themselves. Fame is a double-edged sword. For capable powerhouses, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. For the weak, it's both a layer of protection and a form of harm."
"Now, do you understand?"
You Mengchu nodded, then said somewhat explosively:
"Can't you go a single day without mocking me? Does your heart itch if you don't? In other words, how did this young lady end up becoming your tool, you…"
Shen Hanyu shrugged indifferently and said:
"This is the path you chose yourself. What does it have to do with me? Remember to let me take a look after you're done writing. Then hand it to Aunt Shui and have her publish it through the Skywater Academy's channels. Saves time and effort."
You Mengchu opened the notebook wrapped in a layer of beast hide for protection, casually glanced at it, then quickly closed it again. Somewhat shocked, she said:
"Where did you get all this information from?"
Shen Hanyu tapped the table lightly and said with a smile:
"Less talking, more doing. Let me give you a piece of advice: before confirming that others have no issues, don't easily show the draft to any outsiders. Of course, those who can stay by my side don't count as outsiders."
"Good luck. The Snow Empress and I are going to take a nap."
You Mengchu watched Shen Hanyu turn and leave, then slowly moved aside the book that had been covering what she had just written. Somewhat irritably, she crumpled the content into a ball and threw it into the nearby trash can, then started writing again, only this time, her speed was several times slower than before…
