Book 5: Chapter 101: Idols Are Always A Little Different Than Imagined
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the tournament.
“Today is a very important day.” Taylor stared intently at the wall calendar. Today’s date was circled exclusively in red, emphasizing its significance. Today was... Mr. Yellow’s book signing event!
Mr. Yellow was an illustration artist who had risen to fame in some small communities over the past two years. The comic books he drew quickly captured a portion of his loyal readers with their unique artstyle, exciting plots, and explicit depictions.
Although his comics were banned in many countries, it did not affect the desire of loyal readers to read them. And Taylor was one of them.
He vividly recalled the moment he first opened that comic book, a year ago. It was just a picture book placed in a brothel to liven things up. When Taylor flipped a few pages out of boredom, his heart was instantly captivated by a jolt of electrifying excitement.
How wonderful!
How insightful!
How marvelous!
It was a complete waste for those ignorant and uncultured fools to place such a comic book in a filthy brothel simply due to its slight erotic content!
Those ignorant fools failed to truly understand its content! All they could see in it was the eroticism and the parts that left them breathless. However, the true essence of this comic book resided far beyond that, delving into something much more profound, something truly esoteric! It was hidden amidst the eroticism, transcending the mere rush of adrenaline!
From that moment on, Taylor became the most loyal fan of Mr. Yellow. He would get his hands on each of Mr. Yellow’s masterpieces as soon as they were released and read them over and over again. He also wrote letters to Mr. Yellow, but unfortunately, he never received any responses from him.all new stories at n0ve/lbi/n(.)com
However, a sincere fan could always move the heavens.
Today, a whole year after that, Taylor received news from the Holy Dragon Empire’s intelligence network that Mr. Yellow would be holding a fan signing today in Jeorgetown City!
So Taylor, who usually slept until noon, got up very early today.
“It’s an honor to finally meet you, Mr. Yellow. I’m your loyal fan. ‘Love Between Slime, Elf and Goblin’ is truly a masterpiece. I’m deeply obsessed with its unique artstyle, unconventional plot, and the central theme of defying common sense to fearlessly embrace forbidden love. In retrospect, I’m utterly enamored by the exhilarating and moving love story between the three characters.”
“Thank you. Although every fan has said almost the same thing to me, it still makes me extremely happy to hear it from you.” Mr. Yellow raised his head and clasped Taylor’s hands, giving him a teasing smile.
“Long time no see, my loyal fan, Taylor.”
“What...? You...?” The perfect smile that Taylor had practiced countless times gradually stiffened, and his face turned pale as he looked at the acquaintance in front of him with disbelief.
“Green Emperor... Why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here?” Wearing black-framed glasses, the very scholarly-looking Green Emperor revealed an even more gentlemanly and amiable smile. “Isn’t this my book signing?”
“Y-Your... book signing event...? Y-You’re... Mr. Yellow?” Taylor’s face froze as he murmured.
This revelation was akin to the old emperor, known for his seriousness, suddenly transforming into a sexy girl with cat ears, then kneeling on the throne in a provocative manner and beckoning him to play with her.
While the allure of a girl with cat ears appealed to his preferences, the idea of the old emperor undergoing such a transformation caused a certain part of his body to go limp.
“How can it be!” Taylor suddenly exploded in anger. He was clearly still in denial. “You must have hidden Mr. Yellow! Where did you hide him?!”
“After so many years, you still haven’t changed at all, Taylor. You’re as rude, savage, and brainless as ever.” Green Emperor took out his handkerchief and wiped the saliva that had splattered across his face, then coldly remarked, “I see you’re still used to deceiving yourself, as always.”
“Nonsense! How could Mr. Yellow be someone like you? I refuse to believe it, even in my death!” Taylor’s bloodshot eyes were as wide as saucers. Without waiting for Green Emperor to answer, he rummaged through the large and small boxes behind him.
To his disappointment, after rummaging through all the boxes, he found only Mr. Yellow’s new work, “Miss Anglerfish Wants to Fall in Love”.
“You! Not only did you kidnap Mr. Yellow, but you also stole all of his books?”
“You really haven’t changed at all, have you?” Green Emperor let out a long sigh, then took out a letter that looked extremely familiar to Taylor from his chest pocket before proceeding to recite it out loud.
