"Princess Xuanling, in your view, having my sister serve as your scribe is an act of your magnanimity and a favor to my sister and me. But to me, it is cutting off my sister's future. Today, I have already written the Spirit Book, so I have the ability to support Yue'er and provide for her education. You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish!"

As Yang Yi finished speaking, not only was Princess Xuanling stunned, but everyone in the Spirit Book Pavilion was also taken aback.

"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish!"

"That's a very reasonable statement, but why have I never heard this before?"

"Could it be that this phrase also comes from Yang Yi?"

"That's right! According to Yang Yi's description, Princess Xuanling and Yang Yue were classmates. When she saw Yang Yue and Yang Yi in dire straits, she proposed that Yang Yue serve as her scribe to earn some money."

"However, Princess Xuanling did not understand Yang Yue's thoughts. Although Yang Yue accepted it on the surface, she must have been very upset inside. Princess Xuanling is not Yang Yue, so she cannot empathize."

"Exactly! The meaning of this phrase is 'You are not a fish, so you do not know the joy of a fish!' It also tells us that we need to put ourselves in others' shoes."

Some of the bookish scholars actually linked the phrase "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?" to the situation between Yang Yi and Princess Xuanling.

"Yang Yi, you are ungrateful!"

Princess Xuanling, being pointed at by so many people, naturally felt very unhappy. She instinctively blamed all the faults on Yang Yi and then left the Spirit Book Pavilion with a red face.

If she stayed any longer, the entire Xuanwang City would be talking about her the next day.

In fact, even if she left, the hottest topic the next day would still be this.

"This damned Yang Yi, I was trying to help him, but he made me lose face. I must have been blind tonight. In the future, I will absolutely..."

As soon as Princess Xuanling came out, she started complaining to her personal maid, Xiaoqing.

But when she got to this point, she suddenly found herself unable to continue.

"What about the future? Are you planning to ignore Duke Longwu in the future, Princess?"

Seeing that Princess Xuanling couldn't continue, Xiaoqing lightly laughed and said the rest.

"Of course not!" Provoked by Xiaoqing, Princess Xuanling hurriedly said, "He is so despicable, how can I let him off so easily? In the future, I will make him pay!"

"Princess, the way you look now, you seem more and more like someone in love."

Xiaoqing, seeing that Princess Xuanling couldn't say she would ignore Yang Yi, knew that Yang Yi had left a deep impression on her. Today, Yang Yi's 'brave' performance, 'domineering' words, and the classic phrase "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?" were enough to make people look at him differently.

Even Xiaoqing herself understood that if she were not a personal maid but a daughter of an ordinary family, she would probably have developed a good impression of Yang Yi after seeing this scene.

"Xiaoqing, if you say one more word today, I will marry you to Wang Ergou."

Princess Xuanling, unable to bear Xiaoqing's teasing, threatened her and then hurriedly ran towards the Xuanwang Palace.

At this moment, she particularly wanted to find a quiet place to calm down and erase the face and words that kept echoing in her mind.

...

Inside the Spirit Book Pavilion.

After Princess Xuanling left, Yang Yi returned to his desk.

"Chapter 2 of the Chongxu Jing, Kua Fu Chasing the Sun!"

Yang Yi quickly wrote down the story of Kua Fu Chasing the Sun, which was less than 60 characters long.

Kua Fu Chasing the Sun has three layers of meaning.

The first is that it continues to embody a mythological story.

The second is that it illustrates Kua Fu's grand ambition, immense strength, and courage, or the determination and grandeur of humans to conquer nature.

The third is that it speaks of Kua Fu's overestimation of his own abilities.

In short, the story of Kua Fu Chasing the Sun not only summons the powerful and courageous Kua Fu through spirit coins to fight the enemy to the death, but also uses the third layer of meaning to make the enemy feel overconfident, directly shattering their confidence.

So much information, yet it is all contained in less than 60 characters, making it a classic of classics.

Buzz~~

After writing Kua Fu Chasing the Sun, Yang Yi's Spirit Book suddenly trembled, and everyone in the Spirit Book Pavilion smelled a faint fragrance.

"It's the fragrance of the book!"

"This book has already reached the second level of Spirit Book, where the book itself emits fragrance!"

"Incredible, it has only just written two chapters, and it already emits fragrance. If he writes a third chapter, will it be fragrant and blooming? And then a fourth chapter, will it be fragrant and condensed into flowers..."

"Perhaps, this book really has a chance to become a Holy Book."

After smelling the fragrance, everyone put down their work and came to Yang Yi's side to witness the birth of a Spirit Book that had a chance to become a Holy Book.

However, Yang Yi did not let them have their wish. After writing the second chapter, he suddenly felt dizzy and his vision blurred.

"What a terrible feeling, my head feels like it's about to explode. It seems that although my Chongxu Jing has become a Spirit Book, I am not strong enough to continue writing."

In this state, Yang Yi could not continue writing.

In the world of the wilderness, there are only two ways for a Spirit Book to advance.

The first way is to find someone to comment on it. The better the comment, the higher the evaluation of the Spirit Book. If a Book Saint, a Sage, or even an emperor comments on it, the book's level could potentially rise by three levels.

The second way is to add content.

For example, Yang Yi's Chongxu Jing is currently just an ordinary Spirit Book, but as he adds more chapters, it will become more complete, and the level of the Spirit Book will correspondingly increase.

However, both methods are very draining on one's mental energy.

Take Yang Yi, for example. His body is even weaker than a scribe's, and he has read fewer than ten books, none of which he has fully understood.

Therefore, his physical condition is very poor. Without the help of book qi or spirit coins, he had already exhausted all his strength by writing less than 60 characters on the Spirit Book.

If he had read over a hundred books, understood book qi, or had some spirit coins, he would not have ended up like this.

Spirit coins are excellent auxiliary tools for readers and authors.

Most authors prepare a large number of spirit coins when writing to be ready for any unexpected needs.

Writing is like this; when inspiration strikes, it is often unstoppable. If one cannot continue due to a lack of mental energy, it would be a great pity.
