130 Experience is Crucial (1/2)

Nie Chang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Su Yan's expression. ”Why do you look so shocked? You've written so many stories prior to this. If I remember correctly, quite a few of the characters weren't disciples of a sect either.”

Su Yan pursed his lips. Now that Nie Chang said so … ”I kind of ignored it because of the system. After all, it doesn't want me to write xianxia. I'm supposed to write romance now.”

Nie Chang continued to laugh. ”Isn't it still the same? Everyone can fall in love.”

Su Yan threw him an angry look. He had already understood! Why was Nie Chang still talking about it! Did he feel like it wasn't embarrassing enough already?

Nie Chang hurriedly coughed when he saw Su Yan's resentful gaze. Uh-oh. This was dangerous territory. It seemed he had to divert his darling's attention as fast as possible. ”So … If you consider it that way, what would you like to write about?”

Su Yan slowly continued eating while his thoughts churned. He had indeed a lot more choices like this but … ”There are still a lot of things I can't take. Those masters and grandmasters are all really old and a magical beast is a beast even if it has a human form. Who would want to read something like that? Wouldn't that be strange?”

Nie Chang stared at his boyfriend and seriously considered how to state his opinion. ”Well … cultivators don't age, do they? So even though a master might be old, he wouldn't look like it. He could still be a handsome man.”

Su Yan shook his head. ”Yeah, but you said it yourself: Even if he looks like that, he'd still be old.”

”What's bad about that? There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.”

Su Yan tilted his head. ”What are you even talking about? Nobody said they wouldn't be good cultivators just because they're old. They'd probably be even better considering that they have more experience.” After all, especially for the fights the readers wanted him to include in the stories, experience was something crucial!

Nie Chang nodded. ”Of course, of course! But don't you think love is the same?”

Su Yan pondered for a moment and shook his head. ”No? Why should it? I mean love isn't like cultivation. It's nothing you have to train.”

”No, that's true.” Nie Chang turned back to his bowl of food.
