Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 84 In ancient times, Mulan took her father's place in the army; now, who wants to work for me?
"I'm going to take a shower."

Liu Qingyan went straight into the room and slammed the door shut, leaving Jiang Nanxi and Hou Xiao standing outside.

The two stared at each other for a while, and Hou Xiao was momentarily speechless.

Jiang Nanxi held up two fingers next to her face, looking intently at Hou Xiao.

When Hou Xiao saw her like that, he thought she was greeting him, so he also gave her a peace sign and said to Jiang Nanxi, "Good morning."

Jiang Nanxi's lips twitched. "Teacher Hou, what I meant was a fee of two million, not that I was competing with you, and I didn't ask you to reply to me."

Hou Xiao: "..."

He thought this was a new trend among young people to greet each other in the morning, and since he was asking for a favor, he figured he should respect the other person's artistic gesture.

Hou Xiao withdrew his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Could you make it cheaper? I'm not some popular celebrity, and I don't earn much from filming. You're asking for two million right off the bat, that's way too much."

"Then how much can you give?"

Hou Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Five hundred thousand?"

Jiang Nanxi rolled her eyes. "Teacher Hou, can you stop being so stingy? Is your life more important or your money? If you die, all the money you've saved over the years will be useless."

"I'll think about it again."

Hou Xiao was still a little conflicted.

Although he had a strange dream last night, and many people online said that his room was haunted, Hou Xiao himself did not see anything.

He stared at Jiang Nanxi intently for a while, wondering if the spontaneous combustion of the talisman last night was a magic trick she had learned from somewhere.
"That's up to you."

Seeing his caution, Jiang Nanxi didn't say anything more. After all, two million was indeed a lot of money, and no normal person would take it out casually.

Jiang Nanxi went downstairs for breakfast, and Hou Xiao followed.

Apart from Liu Qingyan, all the other guests were already downstairs having breakfast. Hou Xiao asked, "Have you decided on the rainforest hiking route yet? Let me see the route."

Shen Lan said, "We were going to discuss it and then mark it on the map, but Jiang Nanxi said we didn't need to mark it on the map because the map was inaccurate and many dangerous places weren't marked. So Jiang Nanxi said that once we enter the rainforest, we can just follow her the whole way."

When Shen Lan said this, his expression was disdainful, and even carried a hint of schadenfreude.

He was clearly saying this on purpose for Hou Xiao to hear, and Hou Xiao would definitely be dissatisfied with Jiang Nanxi's unreliable actions.

Hou Xiao turned to look at Jiang Nanxi.

Jiang Nanxi took a sandwich from the kitchen, ate it as she walked out, and then accidentally tripped on the threshold and almost fell.

Paji.

The sandwich fell to the ground.

"Holy crap! I can pick it up and eat it within three seconds! Who the hell tripped me?!"

Jiang Nanxi quickly picked up the sandwich from the ground, took a bite, and then stared at the threshold with a ferocious expression. She then tore the threshold down with her bare hands.

Jiang Nanxi: "Heh, luckily I acted quickly, otherwise you would have ambushed me! You wanted to harm me? No way!"

director:"……"

Hou Xiao: "..."

No, given her mental state, can she really lead the way? Who could trust her to do that?
Hou Xiao took the map and marked the hiking route on it according to his plan.

Not long after, everyone set off for a rainforest hike.

But after walking for a short while, Jiang Nanxi and Hou Xiao disagreed on their routes.

Hou Xiao glanced at the direction Jiang Nanxi was pointing and couldn't help but say, "There's a swamp on the road you're taking. You might encounter wild animals like crocodiles. It's too dangerous."

The route I chose, although it's a longer detour and will take us a while, avoids swamps and is safer.

Jiang Nanxi said, "Your path only looks safe; it's actually the most dangerous. It's very dark there, and the yin energy is very strong. If I'm not mistaken, there's definitely a mass grave there. Living people can easily get lost in that area. Also, the clouds are very low over there, so it's very likely to rain. If we encounter a downpour while hiking in the rainforest, we'll be in trouble and get trapped in the mass grave."

Hou Xiao took a look through the binoculars.

"There are no clouds at all! The weather over there is very sunny! Besides, it's daytime now, only a little past six in the morning. What's there to be afraid of when passing by a mass grave?"

Jiang Nanxi said, "You can't see the clouds even with binoculars. There's a very tall tree not far away that blocks your view. The mass grave is just a little past that towering tree."

"Then how can you see that?"

"I am a cultivator, I have divine sense, and my divine sense can sense things."

"..."

Hou Xiao looked at Jiang Nanxi with a complicated expression, and finally rubbed his forehead, thinking that he shouldn't have trusted her.

Even divine senses have arrived.

This guy's so engrossed in reading the novel!
"Listen to me, I'm the captain."

Hou Xiao said it directly.

“Take this safer route; it will take you an hour or two to leave the mass grave area.”

It's broad daylight, the sun is shining brightly, there's nothing to be afraid of, just follow me.

He glanced at Jiang Nanxi and said, "Your route is too dangerous. We can't cross the swamp. If we encounter large wild animals near the swamp, we might be attacked."

Jiang Nanxi pulled a broom out of her backpack. "I can give you a ride. If the director hadn't told me not to fly directly to the finish line, I could have given you a ride there."

Hou Xiao looked at her in shock, never expecting that someone would bring a broom when hiking in the rainforest.

"Okay, stop talking!"

Just as Jiang Nanxi was about to show off, Hou Xiao headed down another path, saying, "Let's hurry on our way and find a safe place to camp before dark."

Shen Lan and Song Wanwan glanced at Jiang Nanxi's broom, but in the end, they decisively followed Hou Xiao.

This broom is indeed magical, but Jiang Nanxi might not be able to give them a ride. They might as well go with Hou Xiao.

Jiang Nanxi remained standing still.

The director's voice came from the drone, "Jiang Nanxi, you cannot leave the team and act alone. Team members need to act together, otherwise you will be disqualified from the challenge."

"..."

Jiang Nanxi had no choice but to go with Hou Xiao and the others.

But after taking only a few steps, she suddenly jumped two meters high and pulled the drone down from the air.

The director quickly said, "Jiang Nanxi, what are you trying to do? You can't damage the equipment!"

Jiang Nanxi: "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask a question. In ancient times, there was Hua Mulan who joined the army in place of her father. Now, who wants to work for me? If I am destined to face a calamity, I hope it is a Porsche, not these idiots."

[You little brat, you not only found someone to cover your shift, but you also dared to take advantage of us!]

[If I'm destined to face a calamity, I'd rather it be a Porsche than these idiots, so you can take this job yourself!]

[If you're not working, what are we supposed to watch for entertainment while we're at work? Get to work!]

How thrilling can a mass grave be? The more thrilling, the more I love to watch! Jiang Nanxi, hurry up and join me!

The drone's screen displayed synchronized comments, which Jiang Nanxi saw. She maintained her smile and said, "Alright, alright, no one's going to work for me, is that it? Then let me ask you one more question."

【What? 】
