Si Fuqing moved her hand away.
In contrast to the earlier visual shock, the white shirt accentuated his figure.
âBoss, I must praise you this time!â Si Fuqing said earnestly. âYour physique surpasses that of top male models. You look slim in clothes but muscular without. Iâm sincerely impressed.â
Yu Xiheng held a cup of tea, replying, âWell, havenât you already experienced
Si Fuqing was speechless.
She quickly retorted, âThatâs for touching my head.â
âItâs my fault,â Yu Xiheng paused and asked, âAfter recording the variety show for so long, are you interested in acting in dramas?â
âIâm ready,â Si Fuqing replied, propping her chin. âThe director introduced me to Teacher Tang Haiqiuâs new drama. Itâs a female-led xianxia, and Iâll audition the day after tomorrow. Iâve read the synopsis and it really appeals to me. It suits my taste.â
Yu Xiheng glanced at Feng San.
Feng San quickly gathered information about Tang Haiqiuâs new drama.
He reported, âBrother Nine, the title is named âCrossing the Demon Realmâ. It tells the story of a girl used by the supreme being of the celestial realm as a vessel to revive his wife. She endures unspeakable suffering and dies tragically, with her body seized and her soul shattered. Eventually, she returns for revenge, pacifying both the demon and celestial realms.â
âThat sounds exhilarating, â Si Fuqing stretched lazily, âIt makes me feel refreshed. I wish I could jump into the drama and fight right now.â
Feng San respectfully kept his distance from Si Fuqing.
He wasnât keen on experiencing such âexhilarationâ.
âHmm, a female-led drama, a good script,â Yu Xiheng mused, propping her jaw. âLetâs invest in this one.â
Si Fuqing bit into a meat bun and asked, âWhat if it incurs a loss?â
Yu Xiheng looked up, her voice gentle, âWeâll deduct it from your year-end bonus.â
Si Fuqing was speechless.
You certainly have a plan.
âThen I want a share of the profits,â Si Fuqing raised three fingers, âThirty percent for me, seventy for you.â
Yu Xihengâs eyebrows lifted slightly, âAgreed.â
âIâll go read the script now,â Si Fuqing stood up immediately, âI canât let down the boss and Iâs money-making venture!â
âBrother Nine, the female lead plays a dual role in both the demon and celestial realms, with completely opposite personalities,â Feng San reviewed all the information. âWonât it be too challenging for Miss Si?â Ifshe performs well, sheâll skyrocket to fame.
But ifshe fails, itll be a disaster.
Yu Xihengâs tone was cool, âYouâve known her for so long. Have you ever seen her fail at anything, other than cooking?â
Feng San was silent.
He couldnât think of anything.
Suddenly inspired, Feng San suggested, âBrother Nine, why donât you learn cooking? As the saying goes, to defeat a girl, conquer her in her weakest area.â Yu Xiheng looked up, her eyes lacking any emotions.
Feng San immediately fell silent, âI was wrong. I didnât say anything. Iâll go buy milk tea for Miss Si!â
Using Miss Si as a shield always spared him from Yu Xihengs wrath.
He was indeed clever.
At 9 in the evening.
Jiang Changfeng finished weeding and went to the village in the east to buy some fertilizer.
He encountered Fang Mingquan on the way.
Fang Mingquan was accompanied by two young bodyguards.
Seeing Jiang Changfeng, Fang Mingquan retreated warily, âJiang Changfeng, are you following me?â
âFollowing you?â Jiang Changfeng replied indifferently, âIf youâve done nothing wrong, youâve got nothing to fear. What are you afraid of, Fang Mingquan?â
âJiang Changfeng, donât get cocky,â Fang Mingquanâs eyes darkened. âYour dad just got lucky this time, hiding that Purple Sun Ginseng and passing the assessment. Next time, he wonât be so fortunate. And your assessment, do you think youâll pass?â
âOh,â Jiang Changfeng replied calmly, âWhy donât you try your luck around the Ghost Valley? Dare you?â
âWhat wouldnât I dare?â Fang Mingquan was provoked, his blood boiling, âIâll play the game tonight! Once I find the nine great spiritual herbs, Iâll kick you and your father out of the Miracle Doctor Alliance. Your mother and sister will have to serve me well.â
Surprisingly, Jiang Changfeng didnât get angry. Instead, he exhibited a rare, faint smile.
In the dark night, his smile was blurred and enigmatic. âThen I wish you good luck. I hope you have a pleasant dream tonight.â
He had logged into the game that morning and found that the words he had written last time had been erased.
In a place like Ghost Valley, data wouldnât refresh every day.
This meant that the Master of Ghost Valley had seen it.
Jiang Changfeng genuinely hoped Fang Mingquan would be careful.
Fang Mingquan snorted disdainfully, returned home with his two bodyguards, and entered the inner room.
He lay down in the gaming pod, logged into âEternity,â and selected the sleep mode.
He planned to spend the entire night near Ghost Valley, hoping to find rare medicinal herbs.
The area around Ghost Valley was incredibly dangerous, teeming with poisonous insects.
Following other playersâ guides, Fang Mingquan cautiously approached the edge, sitting down to catch his breath.
He had to admit, Jiang Lu Ying was incredibly lucky to have found the seeds of the Purple Sun Ginseng.
Whereas he had wandered for so long without seeing anything.
Fang Mingquan prepared to rest for a while before starting his search.
Leaning against a tree, he was sweating profusely.
The sensory simulation in the holographic game was exceedingly realistic.
The high level of danger in Ghost Valley was due to the heightened realism here, intensifying sensations like pain.
A pain as minor as a needle prick in Ghost Valley could feel as severe as a finger being severed.
Fang Mingquan had to be cautious.
Just as he was about to stand up and continue, he saw an old man appear in his line of sight.
The old man, dressed in simple clothes and with a kindly face, approached him, âWhat are you doing here? Youâre sweating profusely; do you need help?â
Fang Mingquan jolted alert and quickly opened the system to check the old manâs data.
[Name]:
[Age]:
[Level]: ???
[Note]: A very mysterious figure.
[Tip]: Insufficient goodwill to open the information panel. Please gain enough goodwill before exploring further.
Though he couldnât find out anything, Fang Mingquan was inwardly thrilled.
As the martial arts novels always said, it was often the seemingly ordinary passerby, like a sweeping monk, who possessedprofound skills.
Maybe this unremarkable old man was a high -level NPC.
Ifhe could improve the old manâs goodwill, perhaps he could obtain some hidden secrets or treasures.
âHello, sir,â Fang Mingquan bowed respectfully. âMy family member is ill, and I heard thereâs a medicine in Ghost Valley, so I came to look for it.â
âOh,â the old man stroked his beard, still smiling benevolently, âYour courage is commendable, and your filial piety is admirable. Very good, very good.â
Fang Mingquan was overjoyed, pondering how to extract some treasures from the old man.
Suddenly, a chilling voice resounded like thunder in his ears.
âFang Mingquan!â
âBoom!â
Fang Mingquanâs mind went blank, and he was struck with fear.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
How could a game NPC know his real name?!
Before Fang Mingquan could react, the next moment, the old manâs fingers swiftly reached out like a ghost and clutched his throat.
The old manâs clothes transformed in an instant.
A hat, a pitch-black cloak, eyes green like venomous snakes, and a chilling aura.
No, this was no longer a benign old man.
Trembling, Fang Mingquan looked up, and the image of the old man before him uncontrollably merged with a figure in his mind.
One of the top ten most malevolent NPCs, the Master of Ghost Valley.
