Chen Xiaobei told Luo Puti that he saw forty-eight children corpses at the Palace of the Living Dead. Of course, Chen Xiaobei did not disclose anything about their reincarnation and snatching the Red Envelopes. Naturally, Luo Puti was furious about it. However, she did not do anything to Xiangxi Phantom Lord because the law that she believed in would give him the sentence that he deserved. Right after the investigation, Luo Puti promised that she would bury those kids.
By now, there was nothing in Zhong State that Chen Xiaobei had to worry about. Due to work-related stuff, Chen Xiaobei did not get the chance to improve his relationship with Luo Puti. In the end, he had to travel back to Dragon City alone. After finding a place with no people, he jumped on his Somersault Cloud and flew back to Dragon City. It only took ten minutes for the whole journey – definitely faster than an airplane and he did not need to buy any tickets either.
……
It was rather a short trip. Chen Xiaobei was at Zhong State for only two days. There was nothing special in Dragon City. Firstly, he went back to Bei Xuan Faction to grow a few more pairs of mother-child voodoo worm. Now that spiritual Qi was not scarce, he could afford to do so. Most of the time it could help Chen Xiaobei to turn the tide around if it was used at the right time. After that, Feng Qianyang came and look for Chen Xiaobei to update him about the things that happened in Bei Xuan Faction. Through Feng Qingyang, Chen Xiaobei knew that there were a number of people who wanted to join Bei Xuan Faction.
Without putting much thought into it, Chen Xiaobei rejected all of them. The original intention of Chen Xiaobei setting up this faction was to do something secretly without others knowing it. Unless he knew and trusted the person, there was no way that Chen Xiaobei would let others step foot into his faction. For now, he would not consider taking in more disciples.
After that, Chen Xiaobei went back to his home and gave Cang Jingu a small piece of Skybreaking Cultivation Pill for him to achieve a new breakthrough. Considering that the trip to Japan was getting closer and closer, it was important to have one True Nirvana elite to protect him. Chen Xiaobei then tried to call Xiangyu to give him a small piece of Skybreaking Cultivation Pill as well. Unfortunately, he could not reach him. He later found out from Cao Zhenyang that Xiangyu had gone overseas to carry out a mission.
As for home, Qin Cheng Entertainment, and cosmetic factory, all of them seemed normal. There was no trouble at all. Meanwhile, Old Wang, Hong Hai’er, and NeZha were getting better and better at recruiting disciples for themselves. Right after that, Chen Xiaobei made a call to Lin Xiang. She told him that she was about to meet someone important and she was not in Dragon City for now. Most probably because her trip was tied to something secretive, Lin Xiang did not tell Chen Xiaobei about it in detail. However, she reassured Chen Xiaobei that everything was arranged properly – there was nothing he had to worry about.
After dealing with all the things that he was supposed to deal with, Chen Xiaobei crashed on his bed after a nice shower.
“Now that I’m Philanthropist the Fourth, my charm and luck have reached ninety thousand! Logically speaking, the number of my fans should increase tremendously as well…”
With great expectation, Chen Xiaobei logged in to his Weibo. To his surprise, the number of his fans had only increased a little. Now, he had seven hundred and sixty thousand fans in his fans club.
“Maybe I did not do anything huge in public recently. Without good exposure, no one will know that I exist! Sifu told me that I should help the deities that travel to the human realm to recruit as many disciples as possible. At the same time, I should do the same as well. It seems like I have to create something big! I don’t want to waste away my charm that I just gained!”
However, it was not that easy to come up with something big.
“Forget about it. I think I should just go with the flow for now! To me, there is nothing more important than improving my combat power!”
After that, Chen Xiaobei logged out from his Weibo and took out his green jade gourd from his treasure chest. He then took a huge mouthful of spiritual Qi. Immediately, his Dantian was filled with spiritual Qi. Like last time, he sat with his leg crossed to train on his Emperor Health Ultimate Enhancement Skill. Since he had more than enough spiritual Qi with him, he could prioritize in increasing his health first. As for combat power, he could combine the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training and Bone Burning Pill to boost it.
He had one more Skybreaking Cultivation Pill with him. He could easily achieve True Nirvana Cultivation when he reached the pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. After that, he would need to figure out the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill to achieve cultivation that was higher than True Nirvana. Of course, that was for the far future. Now, what Chen Xiaobei needed to do was taking one step at a time to accumulate his combat power.
…..
At the most reputable hospital in Dragon City, there were around ten people with flowers and fruit baskets getting ready to visit one of the patients. However, two security guards were stopping them from getting into the private room. Left with no options, they were forced to leave disappointed in the end.
“Director Feng, Zhuang Bufan didn’t want to meet us. What should we do now?”
A man in a suit with short hair asked. The ‘Director Feng’ that he mentioned was a man with a medium-sized body and white hair. His fashionable attire made him look like an artistic person. This person was the top director in China, Feng Yaolun. Not only was his influence great within the country, he also managed to cause an impact on the international filming industry. The movie of the year, Ling Yue the Heroine was directed by him personally.
However, nobody would have expected that something big would go wrong during the filming. The lead actor, Zhuang Bufan was beaten up terribly in the props room. Not only was his face disfigured, his manhood was also smashed – making him became a member of eunuch squad.
Things might get easier if Zhuang Bufan was just a normal actor. Unfortunately, he was the second young master of the Zhuang Family – one of the four most powerful families in Dragon City! The things that made it even worse was that the investor of Ling Yue the Heroine was one of the companies of the Zhuang Family, Zhuang Entertainment!
They declared that they would stop investing at the movie and fire the entire filming crew.
“What to do? Who should I ask? The Zhuang Family! We simply cannot afford to anger them! All we can do now is take all the blame even though they stopped investing in our production! Initially, I wanted to look for Zhuang Bufan to help us with this. There’s nothing we can do if he refuses to talk to us!” Feng Yaolun said in a frustrated tone. If Feng Yaolun could do nothing about it, no one else could work something out.
“Director Feng. Calm down. You have to figure out a way to solve this problem! We have been preparing for Ling Yue the Heroine for three whole years. From scripts to actors and actresses to costume to props, I can say that we have put all our effort into it!”
“Like you said, this movie is going to be your top production! We are looking forward to it! The entire filming crew is looking forward to it! Fans from the whole country are looking forward to it as well!”
“No matter what! We cannot let this production die prematurely!” Assistant Wang said in a deep tone.
