Fairy, Please Stop Coming Out of the Novel - Chapter 3:
Chapter 3: Reasoning It Out
“In the Celestial Radiant Secret Realm, Lin Xiaotian did indeed save me in a moment of danger. But have you ever considered that this danger might have originated from Lin Xiaotian himself?”
“Huh?”
Jiang Fan’s mouth hung wide open, his mind turning to mush.
Wait, even he as the author did not know about this plot. Besides, he had not designed it this way at all.
Luo Xian’s voice was calm. “Although you are the creator, many things in my world are not under your control. To explain it using the terms of your world, the main storyline does indeed follow your design, but as for everything else, you know far less than I do.”
At this point, she gave a light laugh. In that instant, the entire room seemed to brighten slightly. “You do not even understand the Chosen One you created. Lin Xiaotian is nothing more than a despicable person. You forced me to like such a man. Killing you would be entirely justified, so…”
“So what?”
“Do you accept it?”
“I don’t!”
“Hold it in.”
With just a cold glance from Luo Xian, Jiang Fan instantly sobered up. Cold sweat poured down his back.
Arguing with Luo Xian?
To Jiang Fan, that was no different from courting death.
After calming down, Jiang Fan decisively backed down. “Sorry, I really did not know about these things.”
“But in terms of talent, Lin Xiaotian is not inferior to you. He is the Chosen One of the Sword Immortal world. Although his current strength is below yours, he will obtain various great opportunities in the future. Surpassing you is only a matter of time.”
Luo Xian smiled. “If someone like Lin Xiaotian can be the Chosen One, it only proves that you, the creator, have a problem.”
Jiang Fan frowned. “What problem do I have?”
“A dragon gives birth to dragons, a phoenix gives birth to phoenixes, and a rat’s son knows how to dig holes. If you, the creator, had no problems, the Chosen One you wrote would not be so unworthy. Conversely, since the Chosen One you wrote is so unworthy, does that not prove that the problem lies with you?”
Her reverse logic was flawless.
Jiang Fan could not find a single word to refute her.
With a thought from Luo Xian, the Ice Glass Sword appeared in her hand again. “Do you know why I came to this world?”
Jiang Fan shook his head.
Her clear eyes flickered. “As the creator, you should have a way to modify what you wrote before, right? Delete the part where I secretly developed feelings for Lin Xiaotian. I do not want his face to keep appearing in my mind. It is nauseating.”
“What do you mean nauseating?”
Jiang Fan was unconvinced. “Although Lin Xiaotian does not have as much screen time as you, he is still the protagonist I designed. His attributes are almost maxed out, especially his appearance. He can be called the most handsome man in the Sword Immortal Continent. Countless female cultivators are infatuated with him. How is that nauseating?”
“The most handsome man in the Sword Immortal Continent?” Luo Xian’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Just a shell.”
Jiang Fan refused to give up and argued his case. “First, your talent and appearance match Lin Xiaotian’s perfectly. Second, as a veteran author who has completed four romance novels, I can clearly tell you that the spark of love requires collision to be born…”
Luo Xian interrupted, “Have you ever been in a relationship?”
Jiang Fan reacted as if his tail had been stepped on. He shot to his feet. “D-Don’t look down on me. I may not have been in a relationship yet, but I definitely will in the future. Just wait and see. At most one month, I will find a girlfriend in college.”
Luo Xian sneered. “A person who has never been in a relationship writing romance novels. That is truly laughable. If I am not mistaken, your previous romance novels probably did not have many readers, right?”
“You can eat recklessly, but you cannot speak recklessly. You can insult me, but you cannot insult my writing!”
Jiang Fan completely lost his composure. “Who says you must have been in a relationship to write romance? Which law says that if you have not been in a relationship, you cannot write romance novels? Writing novels relies on imagination. What do you understand?”
“Why are you getting worked up?”
“Who’s worked up?”
Luo Xian smiled playfully. “Lies do not hurt people. The truth is the sharpest blade.”
“You…”
Jiang Fan was so angry his lungs felt like they would explode, yet he could do nothing to Luo Xian. He sat down on the bed with his back to her, like a wronged little wife.
Luo Xian changed the topic. “Originally, I only had one purpose in coming to this world. But after hearing your setup for Lin Xiaotian, I have changed my mind. Immediately remove Lin Xiaotian’s identity as the Chosen One and give it to me.”
“Impossible!”
Jiang Fan refused without hesitation.
He had a habit when writing. He never changed his settings.
If the editor was dissatisfied, he would rewrite from scratch.
Modify the story? Absolutely not.
Moreover, if he did as Luo Xian said, it would not be as simple as modifying the story. It would require overturning nearly 30,000 words of his setup and forcibly removing Lin Xiaotian, the Chosen One.
This had already touched Jiang Fan’s bottom line. Even facing Luo Xian, he had no intention of compromising.
“Oh?”
Luo Xian stepped in front of Jiang Fan. Her jade-like hand came down, and with a slight exertion of her slender fingers, five clear indentations appeared on the wooden bedframe.
This was what it meant to leave marks deep in wood.
Jiang Fan’s face turned pale. “People should be reasonable…”
The Ice Glass Sword in Luo Xian’s hand let out a sharp hum, and the temperature in the room dropped rapidly. “I am being reasonable.”
Jiang Fan fell silent.
This kind of reasoning… was terrifying.
“I will not make you help for nothing.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you help me become the Chosen One, I will help you…” At this point, Luo Xian seemed a bit troubled.
Jiang Fan twitched his lips. “What? Don’t tell me you can help me find a girlfriend and give me a sweet romance?”
Luo Xian’s eyes lit up slightly. “Deal.”
“What?” Jiang Fan’s expression became colorful.
A character from a novel was claiming she would help him, an experienced romance author with four completed novels, find a girlfriend?
Put nicely, it was a deal. Put bluntly, it was an insult. A blatant insult.
“Have you ever been in a relationship?”
“No. But I am a woman. Although my world is not quite the same as yours, as women, many thoughts are common.”
“Can I refuse?”
“Hmm?”
That cold voice instantly crushed Jiang Fan’s resistance. “Deal. But regarding deleting the emotional plotline between you and Lin Xiaotian, you have to give me some time. Designing the plot takes time.”
When under someone else’s roof, one has to bow their head.
Crossing the bottom line?
Then just move the bottom line back a little. Simple.
Luo Xian beckoned, and the Ice Glass Sword flew into her brow. “As soon as possible.”
She walked to the window. The slightly cool night breeze slipped through the wire mesh, causing her retro-style white robe to sway gently. A hint of threat lingered in her voice. “If you dare to arrange any more emotional plotlines for me in the future, I will definitely…”
“I know… you will kill me.”
“Kill you?”
“It means killing me.”
“Good awareness.”
After saying that, Luo Xian became like a projection. Her body gradually faded until she completely disappeared.
Jiang Fan sat by the bed for a long time. Suddenly, he pinched his thigh hard, baring his teeth in pain.
This was not a dream. Everything that had just happened… was real.
The new novel “Sword Immortal” had only uploaded 20,000 words so far, a total of eight chapters. He had only signed the electronic contract this morning.
When signing the contract, the editor had even said that the Celestial Radiant Secret Realm plot was well done, quickly bringing the protagonist and female lead closer. Yet by night, Luo Xian had forced him to overturn it completely.
After revising it, the editor would most likely scold him harshly.
But…
It still had to be rewritten.
After all, the worst outcome of rewriting was just getting scolded by the editor. But if he did not rewrite it, he would definitely be killed by Luo Xian with a single strike.
Afraid of death?
No. He just liked revising his work. Yes, that was it.
And most importantly, Luo Xian was no longer just a character in a novel.
She… was alive.
Thinking carefully, Lin Xiaotian really was not worthy of Luo Xian.
Her future partner had to be a hero.
A peerless hero.
That night.
Jiang Fan had a dream…
