Chapter 464: Chapter 442: It Starts and Ends with Me_1

“Holy crap!”

“A long story?”

“So, Chu Kuang, the King of Short Fairy Tales, is going to write a long fairy tale? Is he seeking revenge for Teacher Yuanyuan, just like Teacher Hu is seeking revenge for the fairy tale circle in Yan Continent?”

“Really?”

“I can’t believe Chu Kuang could also write long fairy tales. I thought he was only going to write short stories. The idea of revenge definitely isn’t realistic. Chu Kuang couldn’t have predicted in advance that Teacher Yuanyuan would lose, it’s just an interesting coincidence, like how Yuanyuan and Hu both choose cats as their protagonists.”

“Wait a moment!”

“Have you guys forgotten the lyrics of ‘Fairytale Town’? There’s a line in the song that says ‘Shuk Bacchetta is the talking mouse’, which means Chu Kuang had planned this work a long time ago!”

“Ah, a mouse?”

“The characters of Teacher Yuan Yuan and Teacher Hu are cats, and Chu Kuang’s protagonist is a mouse. It is indeed a crazy coincidence. Considering the regional conflicts in the Qin Yan fairy tale circle, does this imply a cat and mouse conflict?”

“…”

Exclamations filled both the online and fairy tale circles of Qin, Qi, Chu and Yan. The previously concluded dispute in the Qin Yan fairy tale circle was immediately renewed on a new playing field. Everyone was uncontrollably excited-

Chu Kuang had joined the fray!

With a long fairy tale at that!

His fairy tale features a mouse, a natural enemy to the cat characters of Yuanyuan and Hu. Coupled with the backdrop of the regional conflict between Qin and Yan gives everyone a sense that everything had been preordained!

Yes!

Preordained!

Why was there a regional conflict between Qin and Yan, and not the other continents? Wasn’t the original cause for it Chu Kuang’s shocking nine versus one duel that concluded all of the masters of short fairy tales in Yan?

Looking at the present.

Chu Kuang won the regional conflict, but Teacher Yuanyuan lost. The score between the two sides was tied, but Chu Kuang’s presence crushed the balance once more, giving everyone a sense of fate – “where the story starts, it will end.”

Chu Kuang is the beginning of everything!

And he should be the one to end it!

The collective shock wore off, and both Qin fairy tale circle and the netizens were stimulated: “You Yan people were bragging about Hu’s win in the Literary Duel, now with Chu Kuang here, do you dare act arrogant?”

“One versus nine warning!”

“The old rascal will save the world!”

“What counts if you just win against Teacher Yuanyuan? Can you make it past this hurdle of Chu Kuang, the old rascal? Hu might have won nine in a row, but we have a ten-win champion who has yet to make his move, do you know about nine-line operation?”

“Chu Kuang, the eternal god!”

“Chu Kuang: Teacher Yuanyuan, you step back. I, Chu Kuang, started this conflict in the fairy tale realm of Qin and Yan, so I will be the one to end it. My real opponent is Hu!”

“Very graphic!”

“Heroes always step forth in times of crisis. If doctors are heroes to patients, and police are heroes to ordinary civilians, then Chu Kuang is the hero to the fairy tale realm of Qin!”

“…”

These Yan people are intolerable!

Hu’s victory in the Literary Duel had only led to ridicule from Yan. They’ve been making the people of Qin hold back their anger. However, news of Chu Kuang’s new long fairy tale was like gasoline on fire, making the anger of Qin’s people ignite!

At this time, everyone realised:

Compared to Teacher Yuanyuan, people from Qin seem to have more faith in Chu Kuang. Even though Chu Kuang, as a newcomer to short fairy tales, had never written a long fairy tale, this level of trust is absolute!

The Qi, Chu, Yan people were all puzzled.

Everyone doubted Chu Kuang’s chances at the time of his one-versus-nine duel. Why is it that now, when Silver Blue Books announces he will be writing a long fairy tale, people of Qin not only have faith in Chu Kuang, but they seem to be more passionate about Chu Kuang than ever.”I understand now.”

“After Teacher Yuan Yuan lost to Hu, the Qin people had no choice left, and the appearance of Chu Kuang for them was like a lifesaving straw. Whether Chu Kuang could really save the world or not, the Qin people would seize him without hesitation.”

This explanation was popular.

However, a netizen from the Chu Continent had a different perspective: “The Qin people do not regard Chu Kuang as a lifeline, but truly believe that Chu Kuang has the capacity to save the world. Otherwise, their emotions shouldn’t be so high. It should be as poignant as when Chu Kuang single-handedly took on nine others.”

Someone asked, “Why?”

Someone explained, “Because Chu Kuang’s previous one-against-nine was cross-field combat, his past theme had nothing to do with fairy tales, so everyone didn’t think Chu Kuang could write fairy tales. But now the situation is different, Chu Kuang has proven his ability to write fairy tales!”

“Yes!”

A Qin person appeared: “Last time we didn’t know Chu Kuang could write fairy tales, but now we know, so we trust Chu Kuang’s fairy tale writing ability. Don’t bring up that he hasn’t written a long fairy tale before. Isn’t a long fairy tale a fairy tale too?”

This is the truth!

If Chu Kuang can write short fairy tales, wouldn’t it be only natural for him to write long fairy tales as well? Like Teacher Yuan Yuan, she’s a famous long-form fairy tale writer, but when she writes short ones, doesn’t she do it with style too?

What’s up?

So a short fairy tale is a fairy tale, but a long fairy tale is not a fairy tale? They might specialize in different areas, but at least they’re the same genre this time. In this same genre, could this little constraint restrict a monster like Old Rascal Chu Kuang?

That’s why the Qin people are excited!

However, the Yan people are not intimidated at all, even a bit like enemies meeting with extra bitterness: “We can’t compete with Chu Kuang when he dominates in the short fairy tale field. After all, there isn’t a second person in the short fairy tale authors that can take on nine others. But now that he’s causing trouble in the long fairy tale field, we must cherish this chance for revenge!”

Winning against Yuan Yuan is an honor.

Winning against Chu Kuang is a revenge.

Although no one has challenged Chu Kuang after Silver Blue Books officially announced that he would publish a long fairy tale, after all, you can’t create a long fairy tale in a short period of time. Even if a long-form fairy tale writer from the Yan Continent steps in, it’d be more than they could handle. Yet, with the backdrop of the regional dispute between Qin and Yan, the atmosphere of this grand fairy tale war isn’t a literary duel, but it is better than a literary duel!

The Yan people love this tune.

As the self-proclaimed representative of the Yan Continent’s long-form fairy tale circle, Teacher Hu naturally likes this tune. To be exact, Chu Kuang’s presence brought back to Hu the long-lost passion. He was even somewhat grateful for Chu Kuang’s move.

“They weren’t comparable.”

“If it were about short stories, I would certainly be no match for Chu Kuang. As far as short fairy tales are concerned, no one in Yan Continent can match Chu Kuang. But if it’s about long fairy tales, this is giving us a chance!”

In a hotel in Yan Continent.

A tall muscular man decisively pushed away the girl beside him, and looked at the news on Tribe with eyes shining. Though challenging Chu Kuang to a contest of long fairy tales was a bit unfair, even taking advantage of someone’s predicament, the temptation to defeat Chu Kuang was too great!

Hu’s eyes were flickering.

Chu Kuang is the hero of the Qin Continent.

If Hu overshadowed Chu Kuang, who had just finished the one-against-nine not long ago, he would be the hero of the Yan Continent, and his status in the Blue Star fairy tale world and in the hearts of countless Yan people would certainly soar in the future!

“Five more days?”

Why does Chu Kuang’s new book have to be published only after five days? It’s making people so impatient. Teacher Hu now wished he had a time remote control in his hand, adjusting time straight to five days later.

Of course.

Someone big and strong like Teacher Hu obviously wouldn’t have such unscientific things as a time remote control. He could only wait silently, both anxious and excited, until the arrival of the fifth day.

Finally!

Five days later!

Chu Kuang’s first long fairy tale “Shuke and Beta” was officially released. With all sorts of feelings from all sorts of people across the continents, a book-buying frenzy for long fairy tales quietly kicked off…

PS: Keep writing, after the Fairy Tale storyline is finished, it’ll progress to The Masked Singer. Some readers worry about not wanting the protagonist to take the stage. However, in the case of backstage novels, if they don’t step onto the stage, many plots are inconvenient to develop. Polluted White is confident that he can make the Masked Singer plot very exciting, and hopes everyone has more confidence in Polluted White.
