Chapter 40: The Modern-Day Fake Heiress, a Pretty-Face Actress (40)

"Cut!"

Xian Du and Su Jinnian stood up from the ground.

However, Su Jinnian's sorrowful, evasive gaze, resembling that of a frightened fawn, remained locked onto Xian Du.

Taking the opportunity to drink some water, Xian Du avoided Su Jinnian's gaze—feeling a bizarre sense of being a heartless seductress for stepping out of character so effortlessly...

"Congratulations on wrapping up!" Staff members wheeled out a wrap cake to celebrate the completion of filming.

Xian, the arsonist of hearts, Du's note.

Occasionally, a faint and clear string melody drifted out, the flute sounding desolate, with smoke and clouds rising all around, presenting a magnificent and majestic spectacle.

However, Li Renquan beside him waved his hand indifferently, smiling as he said, "We're all our own people, so there's no harm in talking about it. As long as it doesn't get shouted outside, who's going to know? Even if they do find out, what of it? Am I supposed to be afraid of some punk?"

Looking at Bicer's corpse lying on the ground, he suddenly felt a wave of emotion. Perhaps from the very day he stepped onto this path, his destiny had already been sealed. Having survived so many narrow escapes from death, who could say for sure whether he himself would meet the exact same end?

No matter what, Ultron was a remarkably formidable intelligent system. As danger approached, Ultron's computing power clearly surged far beyond its usual capacity.

Although Wang Qinian had no idea when VR technology would mature, he knew that once it truly reached maturity and entered an explosive growth phase, yet another industry reshuffle, similar to the eras of the PC, the internet, and touchscreens, would descend upon them.

Currently, the domestic film and television industry's profit margins were roughly on par with those of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. The phenomenon of terrible movies still reaping massive profits had similarly emerged.

"It's just to protect yourself. Terrorists usually have many peculiar habits, like grabbing a fair, clean man and violating him, especially men who wear glasses." Yan Fenghuo grinned wide, brandishing a gun as he charged out.

To completely evade Sandman's attacks, Mo Fei relied entirely on the reward bestowed by the God of Void. This inner armor allowed the user to execute the Five Elements Earth Escape arts, and since sand belonged to the earth element, it allowed Mo Fei to bypass any sand-based attacks completely, placing him in an utterly invincible position.

Nangong Hanmo naturally knew that Luo Yang and Pei Yuehua were present, because he had followed them here. In fact, Hanmo had arrived long ago, but seeing how well the two of them were getting along, he chose not to show himself.

"Have you ever been to Yuyun City?" Kong Xiyuan leaned over to look at the scenery flashing past outside the car window and asked.

Zhao Jingyun had kept his eyes fixed on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth on his heart, terrified of committing any breach of etiquette. Hearing this, he was startled at first, then noticed Xie岳's gaze. He let out a dissatisfied hum of his own, and then nudged Li Shimin beside him.

"When will the Emperor arrive?" Led to his seat by the eunuch, Deng Ruoshui asked impatiently.

As the thought arose in Xiao Bolang's mind, everything before his eyes shifted. All the divine beings and immortals loudly asked him "How is it?", yet their tone and cadence were identical to when Zhao Yuju had asked him. Xiao Bolang smiled bitterly and shook his head. When he looked around carefully once more, he found himself lying in bed, greeted only by pitch darkness.

"Twenty-five men have fallen in battle, and over thirty are injured. Among the Jin soldiers, there are quite a few exceptional archers. If not for them, the Jin soldiers would never have scaled the city walls," Luo Anqiong added.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that our development is balanced, while they specialize in a single area?" Ding Xiaowei asked with a furrowed brow.

"Tell me, how could this road be like this? There is snow on both sides, yet not only is there no snow along this path, but it looks as if spring has already arrived, extending all the way toward the direction of the Rain-Bearing Pear Blossom Palace. Why would there be a green belt here?" Hatopu asked his entourage, puzzled.

After leaving the military academy, on the return trip, Zhao Shanzheng was invited by Zhao Yuju into his carriage, and the two of them conversed at length about the military system. Just as they reached the palace gates, Zhao Yuju saw Wei Liaoweng coming to welcome them with a dark expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
