Chapter 949 Another Down-to-Earth Chicken

返回章节列表
The film set was quickly surrounded by cultivators, leaving Isabel and Zhou Muxi with no new information. Zhou Xiaoniu remained exceptionally composed under the pressure, successfully completing several shooting segments without any disruption. Her outstanding performance stemmed from two key reasons: first, she trusted Isabel; second, she trusted Qin Feng. Although she wasn't the first among her sisters to know Qin Feng, and their transition from ordinary friends to a pure romantic relationship had been marked by numerous coincidences—some even appearing accidental—this did not diminish her absolute confidence in Qin Feng's abilities. In her mind, nothing had ever proven difficult for her brother-in-law and husband. The beautiful instructor stood right beside the camera, and although the production crew wasn't quite sure who she was, Zhou Muxi, as the company's boss, had specifically instructed that she was a key leader—she must be treated with respect and not made to feel uncomfortable. Yurata Kiyoko, even more so, had more experience in performance than Zhou Xiaoniu, and precisely under the inspiration of Yurata's seasoned presence, Zhou Muxi delivered an outstanding performance that earned praise not only from the director but from many other staff members. Everyone believed that as soon as the film premiered, it would definitely make a profit, possibly even creating some major waves—there was a real chance that both lead actresses could become household names. The beautiful instructor maintained a calm and composed demeanor, thus placing no pressure on either of the two sisters. By her keen intuition, she sensed at least six "Kuitian" level masters around her, two or more "Jimie" level masters in the distance, plus several cultivators below the Kuitian level. As the night fell, there were no night scenes scheduled for filming tonight, so after wrapping up the final segment, the director stretched and announced excitedly!! Everyone can now rest. Filming is a demanding process—whether for actors or crew—it's truly a great blessing to be able to leave work in the evening. The three women walked together, and Sha Sha said firmly, "Let's go back to the hotel!" Zhou Xiaoniu asked softly, "Will there be any issues? I can sense that those people aren't exactly friendly." "Hah, no worries at all," Sha Sha smiled. "This is a perfect opportunity to send a message—myself, I even feared they wouldn't step up!" "That's wonderful," Zhou Xiaoniu said, eager to contribute. "We can definitely take a stand—Sha Sha, I'll help you with that!" As they left the provincial capital of Zhongyuan Province, Qin Feng had given Jin Tingmu to her as a personal security measure. At the time, she hadn't thought much of it, but now she was glad to see it come in handy so quickly. That is precisely why she dared to speak up in favor of Isabella. The three women boarded a dedicated vehicle and headed to a hotel several kilometers away. The cultivators followed closely, observing throughout the afternoon. Like Ma Yinghong, they were unable to discern Isabella's true strength and thus hesitated to act. Another crucial reason was the well-known saying: "Three monks have no water to drink"—everyone was focused on reaping the benefits, and they were well aware that the first one to step forward might very well become a sacrificial lamb. After mutual encouragement, no one stepped up to make the move. Had it not been for the lingering determination in their hearts, Ma Yinghong would have surely returned to his monastery just as his master had. Now he truly understood the underhanded intentions of his peers—while they constantly spoke of upholding righteousness, in reality, they were nothing short of male thieves and female prostitutes. The vehicle arrived at the hotel smoothly, and the three women descended with great fanfare, entering the main hall. A few minutes later, the lights in the upper-level business suite flickered on, and through the windows, the three women inside could be faintly seen. In reality, they had never entered the room at all—these three seemingly ordinary individuals were actually manifestations conjured by Jin Ting Mu. Isabella changed into a black gown and silently soared out through the side window. Her target was a cultivator at the Kui Tian stage stationed in the southwest corner. Unaware of it, he had already become the unfortunate chicken, while the others naturally ascended to become monkeys. Cultivators at the Kui Tian stage possess acute sensory awareness; the sudden sense of danger kept his mind alert, though he failed to respond promptly, as merely sensing danger did not immediately clarify its nature. Most people in such situations would naturally remain calm and carefully observe. Thud…噗通… He was slapped from the sky and landed heavily on the ground, making a rather ungraceful impression, leaving behind a deep, character-shaped depression in the earth. Dusty and disheveled, he leapt out of the pit. Even a fool could deduce that he had been attacked. Right now, what mattered most was either to locate the enemy and launch a counterattack, or to simply flee. Clearly, he chose the latter. Thud... plop... Just as before, he generously left another large "D" on the ground. How tragic! One word could sum it up—how could it be that among so many cultivators, he was singled out? Was it because he was the most handsome? Was beauty, then, the very reason for his misfortune? Thud... plop... Three times in a row, the same result—no matter how strong one's mental fortitude, it was unbearable. It was as if he were tripping up three times in the exact same spot, utterly heartbroken. Clearly, this chicken still fulfilled his duties well. As a Tian-Kui stage cultivator, though he might not claim to be a household name across the cultivation world, he was undoubtedly a true standout. Yet it was precisely this person who was humiliated in front of numerous peers. He was utterly defeated, his dignity completely shattered. The onlookers all stood stunned—when he first landed on the ground, a few had even considered offering help; but upon the second fall, their hearts filled only with pity. By the third fall, that pity had turned into relief—everyone realized they were safe from being targeted, otherwise their fate would have been just as dire. Several fellow cultivators at the Qi-Tian stage, without hesitation, turned and fled, only to find out they weren’t the quickest to react—instead, it was the cultivators below Qi-Tian stage who had shown the most agility. As a result, the crowd of onlookers shrank by four-fifths. Even a master at the Ji-Mi stage hesitated to run, finally deciding to stay, because another one hadn’t yet left—how could he run now and appear so embarrassed? He didn’t know that the two of them had actually planned to leave together. At that moment, the beautiful instructor, full of vigor, declared, "Anyone still不服? Come on up and fight me for a few rounds! If I can't knock him senseless—so badly that I won't recognize him—I'll take his surname!" Though the sentence was a bit mouthful, the group of cultivators, quite shamelessly, realized they had instantly understood it.
