"What!"
"Big boss, please don't joke with me. Xinghe was just teasing you, but you actually went and posted it on Eggplant Web? Is Qidian Web somehow unable to pay you, or am I not capable of wielding a blade? Wait, that’s not right either. Xinghe wasn’t really joking earlier; he was truly teasing the 'Tentacle Monster' big boss. His catchphrase is, 'I can't sign you; signing you would be harming you. Why don't you try Eggplant Web?' Xinghe has really led people astray by pushing such a great master onto Eggplant Web."
Qidian Web and Eggplant Web shared one common characteristic: they only signed contracts for the novels themselves, not the authors. Authors were free to publish their work on other platforms. Of course, some other novel websites did sign the authors exclusively, meaning it would be a breach of contract to publish anywhere else. Therefore, the Tentacle Monster’s actions were not against the rules.
