Chapter 18 (2/2)

The main character of the novel, Hu Bayi, quickly brought readers into the magnificent and strange underground world in China.

Sherry listened with great interest and felt like she was caught in an elaborate dream.

Fang Yuan was still reciting captivatingly.

It was as if Hu Bayi in the story was Fang Yuan himself and the main character’s adventure to the ruins of the ancient city was his own experience.

“Check the mound; touch the gold talisman; move the mountain ridge; seek the Dragon Puzzle.

Humans light candles; ghosts blow them out; survey the landscape; seek the Starred Peak.

Mercury eclipse; shiny weapons; countless treasures await in the Dragon Hall.

Scented coffin; bronze coating; horoscopes determine your approach.”

During the exploration process, the supporting characters were introduced. Each character’s personality was distinct.

Hu Bayi was the bold one while Wang Kaixuan was the joker. Da Jinya was greedy for money, and Blind Chen was mysterious.

There was also the beautiful and intelligent Shirley Yang.

When the character, Shirley Yang, first appeared in the novel, Sherry blushed a little.

However, it was not very obvious due to her already flushed cheeks from the alcohol.

Sherry thought that Fang Yuan had modeled a heroine in the novel based on herself. Even the character’s name, Shirley Yang, was a homonym of her name, Sherry Young.

‘This is just so…so…very exciting!’

That night. Fang Yuan and Sherry toiled until dawn in the hotel room.

After getting through the initial stage of getting used to each other, Fang Yuan and Sherry got along much better as time passed.

Their speed and intensity also gradually increased.

After spending the whole night working on the novel, the first draft of “Candle in the Tomb” was finally completed.

Sherry had never stayed up late, but the story narrated by Fang Yuan was so intriguing that it kept her on her toes and left her wanting more.

She just could not help but continue chapter after chapter.

When Fang Yuan said “end of the first volume”, Sherry threw herself onto the hotel’s soft bed.

She laid down beside Fang Yuan and felt so sleepy. Her eyelids were struggling to stay open and the words that came out of her mouth sounded dreamy. “Fang Yuan…I have to say that you were really amazing last night…”

Before she could her words, the hotel room door was suddenly pushed open.
