Chapter 27 Night Shadow Emperor Didn't Provoke Any of You
Cheng Ai slightly curved her swollen red lips into a sweet and charming smile, "I remember you have a rare allergy to eating chives."
She paused, then picked up the last cup of chive juice on the table and waved it at Wu Xu, saying, "Master, you are getting old and your digestive function has declined, so I will drink this cup for you."
After saying that, Cheng Ai didn't give the two a chance to react, and then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Finally, she pouted and scrunched up her little face, saying, "It tastes so strong, so spicy, so astringent, it's awful."
[Only a few long-time fans knew that the older brother was allergic to chives. Where did Cheng Ai get this information?]
[Thank you so much, Xiao Ai, for saving my life. Otherwise, Zheyi would have been in real trouble.]
I was so blind before! I didn't follow such a sweet and charming girl, but instead chose to follow that scumbag couple. How stupid of me!
Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, then a kind smile appeared in his eyes. "Thank you, Ai girl."
Zhong Zheyi merely smiled symbolically, without saying a word.
Wow! My brother smiled! It was worth spending over an hour watching the live stream! What a steal!
[We strongly condemn Anhui Culture & Entertainment Company. Zhong Bao'er just lost both parents; can't they at least allow him a break before he takes on more gigs?]
It sounds simple, but it doesn't mean you're the one paying the penalty for breach of contract.
Since you've decided to go on a variety show, don't always have that sour face; it's too much of an eyesore.
[Stop pretending! Take off your sunglasses.]
[Then stop spouting nonsense and get out of here!]
The live chat was buzzing with excitement, while the guests had already left the rest area and started searching for the castle the director had mentioned.
The group wandered through the lush jungle, looking around. The branches on both sides of the path reached into the clouds, and there was a camera every few meters. Even with a few lights illuminating the area, it still looked eerie and terrifying.
A gust of cool wind brought with it a strong, suffocating stench.
"Ugh..." Wu Xu almost vomited. He leaned against the tree trunk, trying to suppress the acid churning in his stomach, and gasped, "Ai girl... don't you think... this place is weird..."
By analyzing the phone call Cheng Ai had just made, he was quite certain that the other party also knew Taoist arts.
As for his skill level, it's too early to judge.
Cheng Ai cautiously surveyed her surroundings. A faint, lingering fragrance and a strange odor wafted to her nose. She nodded gravely, "Indeed..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Yifei suddenly let out a scream, startling countless birds that were perched among the branches and leaves, and causing everyone to turn their heads to look.
She collapsed to the ground, trembling as she pointed a finger at her ankle, her face filled with panic. "Ahhh... a giant python... a huge one... help... help me... ahhh..."
[A snake? Where? Where? What color is it? Is it pretty?]
[Could you please give me a close-up? I've never seen a python before in my life!]
[Princess Feifei, please stop yelling, it's too much for headphone users' hearts.]
When Zhong Zheyi lifted the so-called "giant python," netizens were all stunned.
It was about two palm lengths long and as thick as an index finger, with a yellowish-brown body and a round head. Although its pair of bright green bean eyes looked fierce, upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see a trace of innocence and grievance in them.
[Is that a giant python?! I'm not well-educated, Yifei, don't try to fool me!]
Haha, it looks like a loach!
[Angel brother, throw it away quickly, it might be poisonous.]
"Wow~ So cute~" Cheng Ai walked over, pinched the tail and shook it gently twice. The little snake immediately drooped into a line and swayed rhythmically from side to side.
After stopping, it sprang up and wrapped itself around her arm.
"Ah~" Cheng Ai reflexively raised her hand, bringing her line of sight to it.
The little snake rested its round head on her middle finger, opened its mouth to reveal two small, sharp teeth, and flicked its red tongue in a pleading manner, hissing.
Cheng Ai stroked its smooth back, raising an eyebrow with a smile, "So obedient and soft~ It'd be perfect as a pet for Ye Jingke~"
[So cute it's making me swoon! Of course, I'm talking about little Ai Ai.]
Being single for too long makes even snakes seem more pleasing to the eye.
[I laughed so hard! The award-winning actor says he didn't offend any of you.]
[Ye Jingke shrank back under the covers, his handsome face contorted with terror, and screamed: Don't come any closer!]
Haha, I can picture it!
Song Yifei had already gotten up from the ground.
She nervously hid behind Zhong Zheyi, her eyes darting timidly at the little snake, and stammered, "Sister...Sister Ai...aren't you...aren't you afraid it will bite you...?"
Before Cheng Ai could answer, Wu Xu couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, the snakes have been trained by the production team, they're absolutely safe."
"Huh?" Song Yifei blinked blankly. "Why did Director Gong bring a snake to scare us?"
Zhong Zheyi rolled his eyes at her, annoyed, and said calmly, "Idiot, one of the labels of this variety show is thriller, so of course it has to incorporate some horror elements, otherwise how can it attract viewers?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying song suddenly rang out from ahead.
Song Yifei clung tightly to Zhong Zheyi's arm, trembling with fear. "Who...who's singing...Could it be Director Gong's doing again...?"
Cheng Ai casually tossed the little snake onto a nearby branch, clapped her hands, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed, "The moon is so beautiful tonight!"
[Haha, Ai Bao'er is so funny, watching the moon while listening to creepy nursery rhymes.]
[Look how scared Feifei is! If she's afraid, she should go home and watch BabyBus!]
[Little snake: The moon isn't round or not, why did you throw it at me?]
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; one second she's saying she'll give the movie star Ye a pet, the next she's changing her mind!
“What… what’s so special about that…” Song Yifei’s face turned pale, her lips trembling, “It’s even more beautiful during the Mid-Autumn Festival…”
Cheng Ai glanced at Wu Xu, seemingly casually, and nodded in agreement. "Yes, the moon was big and round back then, a time for family reunions!"
[My heart aches for Xiao Ai. Her mother passed away, her father is a coward, her sister framed her, and her boyfriend cheated on her. Now she has to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival all alone. Waaah.]
[The angel brother is also really pitiful. Why don't you two just get together and become a pair of star-crossed lovers?]
【Don't cry, Ai Bao'er! Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow, and we fans will celebrate with you!】
Song Yifei didn't say anything more. They continued walking and soon arrived at the castle.
The building's overall style is European, with vines climbing the walls. From a distance, it looks like a giant beast crouching there, creating a sense of oppression.
Zhong Zheyi, with his sharp eyes, spotted a box hidden in the grass at his feet. He shook off Song Yifei, bent down, picked it up, and opened it. Inside were six flashlights and a mission card.
