"No. I can't accept that ending!"
After a long pause, Xingqiu finally came back to her senses and spoke with firm determination.
Although The Return of the Condor Heroes was indeed an outstanding martial arts story, that ending— she absolutely refused to acknowledge it.
Or rather, no one would accept it.
Therefore, she had to do something.
Otherwise, it would betray the passion burning in her heart.
"But what can I do? This isn't a real story—it's just a comic!"
Xingqiu frowned.
Hmm?
A book?
A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed her mind.
That's right!
"I can try writing fanfiction of The Return of the Condor Heroes!
If I do that, I can change the ending however I want!"
Her eyes lit up.
It felt as if a door to a brand-new world had opened.
And through this opportunity, she could also refine her writing style and build a solid foundation for her future martial arts novels.
However, she still needed the boss's permission.
Otherwise, it would be infringing on the rights of the comic shop.
"Boss, may I write a fanfiction version of The Return of the Condor Heroes?
I can't accept that ending, so I want to change it myself."
Xingqiu asked Han Feng.
"Fanfiction?"
A hint of interest appeared in Han Feng's eyes.
Not bad—Xingqiu had a quick mind.
She'd already thought of writing fanfiction.
He had no intention of refusing.
In his previous life, countless people had written fanfiction based on Jin Yong's works.
He had read quite a few himself.
One in particular left a deep impression— something about a reincarnated Taoist priest.
At the time, he found it astonishing.
So now he was genuinely curious what kind of fanfiction a native of Teyvat would create.
"You may. But after you finish, you must bring a copy here."
"Of course! Once I finish writing, I'll present it to you immediately. Thank you, Boss!"
Seeing that Han Feng agreed, Xingqiu became visibly excited.
She finally had a chance to change the story.
Han Feng smiled slightly and turned his attention to their rewards.
At that moment, the system information refreshed.
[Customer Xingqiu finished reading The Return of the Condor Heroes,
Reward obtained — Darksteel Heavy Sword.]
Darksteel Heavy Sword:
A divine sword from The Return of the Condor Heroes, forged from darksteel, weighing eighty-one jin.
It was wielded by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai before the age of forty, with which he remained undefeated.
After his passing, it was later obtained by Yang Guo.
[Customer Chongyun finished reading Mr. Vampire,
Reward obtained — Taoist Robe.]
Taoist Robe:
A robe belonging to Master Jiu (Lin Zhengying).
It has a deterrent effect on evil spirits.
"The rewards are fairly standard."
Han Feng nodded slightly.
The Darksteel Heavy Sword was powerful, but mainly for ordinary people.
For Vision holders like Xingqiu, it was simply a somewhat heavier weapon.
Its true significance lay in its history—
It had belonged to two legendary figures:
The Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai
The Divine Condor Hero Yang Guo
For someone who loved martial arts stories like Xingqiu, it was an excellent reward.
As for the Taoist robe—
While it might not match Hu Tao's lightning palm technique, this was Master Jiu's robe.
That detail alone was important.
In another world, even a celebrity's shoes could sell for enormous sums—let alone Master Jiu's robe.
And it even had the power to intimidate evil spirits.
A radiant light descended from above, enveloping Xingqiu and Chongyun.
Moments later, the light faded.
A massive black heavy sword appeared in Xingqiu's hands, while Chongyun found a yellow Taoist robe in his own.
"Xingqiu, the item in your hand is the Darksteel Heavy Sword—you've read the comic, so no further explanation is needed.
As for you, Chongyun, that robe belongs to Master Jiu. It has the ability to deter evil spirits."
Han Feng explained calmly.
"Yang Guo's weapon?"
Xingqiu's excitement surged.
Although Yang Guo's life in the story was tragic, she deeply admired him.
Half righteous, half rebellious.
Free-spirited.
Chivalrous.
Revered as the Divine Condor Hero.
He perfectly embodied the martial hero of her dreams.
"From now on, this sword will be my personal weapon."
She weighed it in her hand.
It was heavy— but still manageable.
"Since I've taken your weapon, I'll give you and Xiao Longnü a better ending."
Xingqiu murmured softly to the sword.
Meanwhile, Chongyun was even more excited.
He regarded Master Jiu as his idol.
And now— he had obtained his robe.
As for its ability to deter evil spirits, he barely cared.
How could that compare to owning Master Jiu's robe itself?
Besides, his own pure yang constitution already intimidated spirits.
"Hehe! From now on, I'm an unofficial disciple of Master Jiu!"
Chongyun put on the yellow robe, grinning widely.
Seeing this scene, Han Feng smiled.
Master Jiu was not only a respected Taoist master—he held an even more distinguished title:
Teacher of Transmigrators Across Worlds.
Countless travelers had become his disciples.
Truly impressive.
And now, he had gained yet another unofficial student— even across dimensions.
His influence kept expanding.
"Boss, we'll take our leave now."
With the Darksteel Heavy Sword strapped to her back, Xingqiu spoke.
Her mind was overflowing with ideas.
She wanted to return immediately and start writing.
Fortunately, she had already prepared paper and brush when she moved into the small cabin.
Now they would finally be put to use.
"I'll go with you."
Chongyun added.
After finishing the comic, he felt energized and wanted to discuss it with his friend.
Besides, he was very curious about Xingqiu's upcoming fanfiction.
"Alright."
Xingqiu nodded without hesitation.
Even though she was currently in female form, she was still, fundamentally, a man.
And they had been close friends for years.
Living together posed no issue.
After all—
there was no way Chongyun would be interested in her, right?
