Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 314 Celestial Fairy VS Little Celestial Fairy

Jingle bell bell bell…

What wakes Liu Jing is his biological clock, what makes him pretend to be awake is the alarm clock, and what calls him to get up is Xixi.

He woke up half an hour ago.

Sisi was sleeping soundly, curled up beside him like a kitten.

Liu Jing glanced at it twice, then closed his eyes again. This isn't how you wake up after a blackout.

The time to test acting skills has arrived. Whether or not you can hold back a trump card depends entirely on your performance later.

After he woke up, he closed his eyes and reminisced about the night before. It was truly bizarre. It was as if it wasn't him who had drunk too much, but rather Sisi.

He was certain that Sisi hadn't touched a drop of alcohol last night, because he hadn't blacked out at all.

Last night, Xixi said she hadn't watched any adult films. Liu Jing felt guilty, thinking it was his fault and that he had to take this opportunity to make amends.

The little lion has an excellent alcohol tolerance, ranking first among the nine bonds.

She drank heavily that night, finishing a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and three bottles of red wine.

Drinking alone makes it easy to drink too much, and since the little lion drank so much, he was naturally dizzy and didn't know what was wrong.

After the party ended and everyone dispersed, Lao Cai also went home. It seemed perfectly natural for everyone to forget about Liu Shishi in Baiyujing.

As the hostess, Sisi certainly wouldn't forget.

As she helped Liu Shishi to the bedroom, hearing his repeated cries of "Senior Brother, I can't bear to part with you," and "Senior Brother, I want you to love me," a dark side began to grow in her heart.

Sisi asked him to do it, and Liu Jingzhao did it.

At first it was novel, but it gradually became boring.

He was drowsy and sleeping like a log.

A keen observer, with a curiosity like a cat.

"Tch! I thought it was so elegant. A little angel under a man is no different." Sisi was disappointed and gradually felt bored.

She took out her phone, wanting to record this moment so she could use it against the cheating couple later.

Playing with fire will get you burned.

She had just taken out her phone when Liu Jing suddenly stood up, picked her up, threw her onto the bed, and lay down next to the little lion.

How could Liu Jing allow her to film? What a joke! Being an audience member is one thing, but you want to be a director? You should be an actor instead.

Since I was already wrapped in a bath towel, it saved me a lot of steps.

She struggled for a few moments, but then she couldn't struggle anymore.

This was a blackout period, so Liu Jing could act recklessly, knowing he'd forget everything by tomorrow morning anyway.

After comparing various aspects, he came to an authoritative conclusion: there are still significant differences between a celestial beauty and a lesser celestial beauty.

"I had to see this through to the end. I never expected it to have this effect," Liu Jing muttered to himself.

A person's alcohol tolerance is to some extent determined by their genes, but Liu Jing is an exception.

Four or five years ago, a can of beer could make you dizzy.

Later, I lost my tolerance for alcohol, but I would black out after a certain amount.

Later, some memories will remain, and if you carefully piece them together, you can recall the general outline.

Now I drink alcohol like it's water; I still get dizzy, and I'm still very talkative. Blacking out is no longer an issue.

The alarm clock rang; it was the one Sisi had set.

When she's not filming, she always sleeps until she naturally wakes up. She turned over, turned off the alarm, and was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly felt wide awake.

"Wooden head, wooden head, wake up..." Sisi pushed Liu Jing and touched his forehead with her hand.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep. Liu Jing wanted to keep pretending, but before he knew it, Qianqian touched her forehead and then pinched her nose.

There's no way to keep up the act now. If he doesn't wake up soon and accidentally laughs, everything will fall apart.

"Hmm! What time is it?" Liu Jing asked groggily, struggling to open his eyes, looking dazed and confused.

"It's almost eight o'clock, does your head hurt?" Sisi asked with concern.

"Hoo..." Liu Jing exhaled a breath of stale air.

Sisi covered her nose, feeling like she was about to be suffocated by the stench. It was so foul, yet Liu Shishi seemed to enjoy it; she was truly a pervert.

Liu Jing stared at the ceiling. "Did I drink too much again last night?"

"He drank quite a bit." Sisi's dark eyes carefully examined Liu Jing's expression.

Liu Jing rubbed his temples and groaned, "Are the sisters-in-law alright?"

"Something's up." Sisi said seriously.

Liu Jing sat up abruptly, his face filled with terror, "Holy crap..."

Looking at the fine beads of cold sweat on Liu Jing's forehead, Sisi no longer doubted that he had indeed blacked out.

"Look at you, acting like a coward. Your sisters-in-law have all gone home, and they weren't drunk. Zhou Yun drank the most; she even called me when she got home." She smiled, "You're fine now that you've blacked out. I'm still the good sister, the good wife; my image remains unchanged."

"I remember playing rock-paper-scissors with her last night, but after that I don't remember much," Liu Jing said, frowning as he tried to recall.

"Don't play anymore," Sisi suggested. "You lose more than you win, and this is only with a lady. If it were a seasoned player like Jiang Wen, he'd be drinking himself into a stupor."

"I'm not playing anymore." Liu Jing was quite annoyed; reacting too quickly was never a good thing when playing rock-paper-scissors.

"The sisters-in-law are fine, but Lao Cai is in real trouble," Qianqian said gloatingly.

"Oh my god, any sister-in-law will do, but not Old Cai!" Liu Jing exclaimed in surprise, almost unable to continue his act.

He wasn't surprised that it was Lao Cai last night, but rather that Xixi had dark thoughts.

Old Cai's stern face was comparable to that of Abbess Miejue; he couldn't stand up straight at all, and it was even less likely when he was drunk.

Sisi is such a pervert, her mind is truly filthy. Wanting to watch the live broadcast last night is one thing, but how could she possibly imagine Lao Cai as the female lead?

"Holy crap, what are you thinking? You're a pervert." Qianqian wrinkled her pretty nose, looked at Liu Jing's horrified expression, and burst out laughing. "I mean, last night Zhou Yun took care of Jiang Wen, Tao Hong took Xu Zheng away, and Sun Li dragged Huang Lei along. Teacher He might have some company when he gets home. Old Cai doesn't even have any company, he looks so desolate."

"Why do you care if she's desolate or not? You're crazy," Liu Jing said irritably.

"I'm just lamenting that strong women sacrifice family and men for their careers. They look glamorous, but they're actually quite miserable. What are those women who are almost forty and still unmarried thinking? Many of them are very qualified, and it's not like they can't find someone. Are they too picky? Or are there other reasons?" Qianqian asked, puzzled.

"Why do you care what they think? You're not like that kind of person."

"Yeah, I have a man. Why worry about things that don't concern me? It's like my scalp is itching to the bone." Sisi suddenly realized.

"That scared me to death." Liu Jing wiped away a cold sweat. The previous scene was acting, but this one was real. He thought the fairy sister had turned evil.

"Haha, if you offend me, one day I'll get you drunk and make you and Lao Cai... cough cough..." Qianqian couldn't continue. Image, image, she had to be careful about her image.

This is not something Liu Jing could remember even if he had a memory loss.

"You're so wicked! A woman's heart is the most poisonous." Liu Jing's expression was exaggerated, feigning fear. Inwardly, however, she was filled with disgust. This was supposed to be a celestial being? Just a country bumpkin.

Sisi laughed even harder, "You're scared too, huh?"

It's great to have blackouts; you can do whatever you want with them and then rewind when you wake up.

A few photos were taken afterward, but no short film about Liu Shishi was made.

She was a little disappointed and said that next time she would try to use Yang Mi and find a way to shoot a short film.

"Where's Shishi? Did she drink too much last night too?" Liu Jing asked casually.

“She…she’s alright.” Sisi’s expression changed.

"I'm going to get something to eat..."

"You stink! Go take a shower, I'll go prepare some food." Qianqian pulled Liu Jing out of bed, pushed him towards the bathroom, and hurried out the door.

She dared not let Liu Jing go out; if he discovered Liu Shishi in the guest room, all the arrangements she had made last night would have been for nothing.

After the three of them had their fun last night, she and Liu Jing returned to the master bedroom. After Liu Jing fell asleep, she secretly slipped back to the guest bedroom and took many photos.

Because she felt too guilty, she left in such a hurry that she didn't even help Liu Shishi pack up, and she couldn't let Liu Jing see it.

Sisi gently pushed open the door, and the scene in the guest room was somewhat unexpected.

Liu Shishi has woken up, her clothes are neatly dressed, and the scene is clean.

The little lion has no morning grumpiness and goes to bed early and wakes up early very regularly. He has been practicing dance since he was a child, and waking up early is a habit of his, even earlier than Sisi's alarm clock.

She sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, without even glancing at Xixi.

"What do you want to eat?" Sisi felt inexplicably guilty.

Liu Shishi then turned her head, and a gentle, delicate aura emanated from her.

She didn't speak, she just shook her head, looking pitiful.

So Sisi felt sorry for you and sat on the edge of the bed, saying, "Don't worry. It was all your senior brother who did it. You weren't bullied by any other men."

"And you too," Liu Shishi sneered. I'm not like my senior brother, who blacks out after drinking a certain amount. Although I was also drunk, I still have some vague memories.

"Looks like you didn't get too drunk." Sisi was taken aback. Last night, he was so confused that she thought he had blacked out as well.

"You woke me up. Your voice was loud and pleasant to hear," Liu Shishi sneered.

"You don't dare to shout, is it because your voice is too loud? Heh, what little lion, I think you're more like a little wildcat." Sisi mocked.

“You…” Liu Shishi was furious. She took a few deep breaths and buried her head between her knees. “Delete the photos.”

"What photo?" Sisi looked blank.

"You took these photos last night," Liu Shishi said sullenly. "You've posed me in a hundred different ways, why are you pretending not to know now?"

"You drank too much last night, didn't you? I didn't take any photos." Sisi chuckled, then suddenly ruffled the little lion's hair. "You didn't sleep well, did you? You can go back to sleep. I'll prepare breakfast for you."

"What do you want to do?" Liu Shishi asked, fighting back tears and feeling deeply aggrieved.

I was trying to declutter, but you took so many photos, how am I supposed to declutter now?
She opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Delete the photos, and I will never have anything to do with my senior again."

She swallowed the words back down her throat.

"It's nothing. Aren't you a little fairy? Then just be a little fairy." Sisi got up, stretched, and walked towards the door. "I believe you're a smart person when it comes to what to do next."

"Liu Yifei..."

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention something. Women shouldn't bother men with matters between them. You should learn this from Yang Mi. If your senior brother finds out, I'll be angry."

Bang... The bedroom door closed softly. Liu Shishi gritted her teeth, "Liu Yifei, today's humiliation is etched into my bones. I will repay it tenfold one day."

Outside the door, Qianqian snorted, "Even Yang Mi doesn't dare to come here, but this little bitch actually dares to."

Since she moved to Baiyujing, apart from Shuchang, no ladies have been allowed to visit unless they are invited.

This is an unspoken rule that even Jing Tian abides by, and Yang Mi doesn't dare to cross that line.

Liu Shishi came without prior notice last night, which Qianqian took as a provocation.

A dozen minutes later, Liu Jing came out of the bedroom, and Qianqian was busy in the kitchen.

"The sun must have risen in the west today." Liu Jing was very surprised. He had only been in the kitchen early in the morning a handful of times in his life.

"You guessed right, it's cloudy today, but the sun will still rise as usual, though it can rise from whichever direction it wants." Sisi hummed a little tune as she fried an egg.

Liu Jingting was puzzled. Was he really that happy after turning to the dark side? It seemed that his long-term repression really needed to be released.

"You're frying an egg, not a landmine."

"Hot oil splashing on my body hurts so much."

"Let me do it."

Liu Jing sighed. Oil sizzled in the pan, and Qianqian was about two meters away from it. Every ten seconds or so, she would take a few steps forward, quickly flip the pan, and then hurriedly retreat.

The egg wasn't flipped properly and ended up in a mess. This isn't a fried egg; it's scrambled eggs.

This cooking skill is far inferior to that of Mr. Huang Lei.

Liu Jing wouldn't say anything; the fact that this guy could even get into the kitchen was already a huge improvement. He could even fry an egg—what more could you ask for?

"I'll go bake bread." Sisi chuckled and handed the spatula to Liu Jing without hesitation. She hurriedly left the kitchen, and in just that short time, she felt her skin had become much rougher.

Sisi still knows how to use the toaster.

She skillfully placed the bread inside, then suddenly chuckled.

Liu Jing glanced at him strangely. Was he still drunk? Had he been bullying the little lion earlier?

"Wood, do you think I should give my spot to Sister Zeng Li so she can attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony?" Sisi said with a smile.

"What?" Liu Jing was confused, feeling that something was wrong with Qianqian.

"Did you know? There are six nominees for Best Actor this year: Fu Dalong for 'The Dog,' Li Yixiang for 'Chicken and Dog Restless,' and Chen Kun for 'The Knot.' I think their chances of winning are about 50%. If all three of them win, and Zeng Li goes to present the award to the Best Actor, wouldn't that be a great sight?" Xixi said excitedly.

“Zeng Li isn’t stupid. She wouldn’t even step inside the door, let alone be an award presenter. She’ll definitely disappear that day. No matter who wins the award, you won’t be able to find her for an interview,” Liu Jing said with a chuckle.

“You really know her,” Sisi chuckled, then changed the subject, “By the way! Wang Xiaoping contacted me, wanting to talk to me about ‘Empresses in the Palace’.”

"Wang Xiaoping? Zheng Xiaolong's wife?" Liu Jing asked in confusion.

“I was in the US at the time, and she also took a liking to this novel. As soon as it was finished here, she wanted to buy the rights. She contacted Chunqiu Academy, only to find out that I had already reserved the rights,” Xixi explained.

"Just ignore her," Liu Jing said dismissively.

"She asked me what my adaptation ideas were, but I had no ideas at all; I hadn't even understood the novel. Wang Xiaoping explained her ideas to me, and she definitely had more ideas than I did. Then she proposed that she wanted to buy the copyright from me at a premium," Xixi said to herself.

"You agreed?" Liu Jing frowned.

Ding!
Sisi took out the bread slices and put two more back in.

“I’m not stupid. Didn’t you say that if this novel is adapted well, it will definitely be a huge hit? You bought so many rights, but I only bought this one. Of course I’m not going to give it away.”

Last year, when "Empresses in the Palace" was serialized on Zhuque Literature City, it ranked quite high on the website.

Shu Chang, a loyal reader of female-oriented online novels, recommended this novel to Xi Xi.

Hong Kong media are currently exposing Liu Jing and Xiao Tianxian's nighttime outing in Hong Kong. Qianqian thinks the phrase "Wanwan is like you" is really too fitting.

Sisi thought the novel was quite interesting and wanted to adapt it into a film.

Liu Jing used up many authentication opportunities before finally getting a result, at which point he suggested that Qianqian purchase the copyright.

[Note: A steady director + reasonable adaptation + appropriate timing + excellent production + strong actors = a phenomenal hit. Lacking one element makes it a gem, lacking two makes it a sustenance, lacking three makes it a weed, lacking four makes it withered, and lacking five makes it poison.]

So Liu Jing warned Qianqian, "The copyright is easy to obtain, but be careful with the adaptation. If done well, it can definitely be a huge hit. Young woman, your time to be tested has come."

Young people are incredibly enthusiastic about this, like they've been injected with adrenaline.

"As long as you know what's going on."

"But her idea is good, she said..."

Sisi briefly explained Wang Xiaoping's adaptation ideas to Liu Jing, and concluded, "If I use her ideas and then find our screenwriters and authors to adapt them, do you think she'll beat me up?"

"She can't beat you either." Liu Jing was both amused and exasperated. What was wrong with this girl? She was always talking about hitting and beating people.

"That's just how people use analogies," Sisi said coquettishly.

"Whose family are they?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

“Your home.” Sisi hummed twice, looking troubled. “I asked several screenwriters from Chunqiu, and they all said that ‘Empresses in the Palace’ has too many Mary Sue elements and many parts are not reasonable, making it difficult to adapt.”

"This novel has a fan base, a tight plot, well-developed characters, and exciting power struggles. If adapted well, it could indeed be a masterpiece. However, it would be best to find a female screenwriter to handle it; a male screenwriter might not be able to capture the essence of the work," Liu Jing suggested.

Female-oriented novels adapted into TV series are watchable, but the written versions are simply unreadable.

He patiently read the novel through once, but had no desire to adapt it.

He is a loyal fan of male-oriented novels, enjoying fantasy and xianxia stories, especially harem novels with multiple female protagonists.

“My aunt said the same thing,” Sisi replied.

“Wang Xiaoping has a strong literary foundation, is meticulous in her work, and strives for excellence. She’s a good screenwriter; you could ask her to write the script,” Liu Jing suggested again.

"I made an appointment with her this morning, let's talk about it after we finish talking."

Sisi leaned against the table, biting her lip and tearing at her lips; she was thinking seriously.

Liu Jing didn't disturb her; it was rare for her to use her brain, so it would be good to let her smooth things over a bit.

The faint sound of water could be heard. Liu Jing sighed inwardly, realizing he still had to continue the performance.

"Who's in the guest room?" Liu Jing asked.

"Your junior sister, she drank too much last night, didn't I tell you?" Sisi blinked, finally realizing she needed a bath; she'd thought she was going to take her home. Isn't it a bit late? She's already absorbed everything she needed to.

Liu Jing shrugged; those two must have had something going on.

"Yesterday, Mom asked me if I arranged the five main characters in the TV series 'Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre'?" Sisi felt a little awkward and quickly looked for a question.

"I swear to the light, I absolutely didn't," Liu Jing gritted his teeth and raised his hand to swear.

On the second day after the release of "The Sacred Flame of Yin and Yang", casting for Zhang Wuji's group began, and the video was released online on the third day.

The final champion was unexpected; it wasn't Chen Xiao, whom Bai Bing was going to sign, but Zhu Yilong from the 06 class of Beijing Film Academy.

The three judges were Gao Yuanyuan, Yu Min, and Zhao Jian. The two directors gave Zhu Yilong a high score, feeling that this newcomer had great potential.

The main reason is that Big Beard thinks highly of Chen Xiao, so the two of them naturally have to disagree and show their stance.

Bai Bing was very decisive and signed Zhu Yilong directly.

She also wanted to sign Chen Xiao, but perhaps because he didn't win the championship, he didn't respond.

As Chunqiu's agent, Bai Bing represents the company and also possesses her own pride. So many people are vying to sign her; if she hesitates, she's not going to sign her.

A few days ago, someone posted a message that said all five champions were predetermined by Liu Jing.

Guli Nazha, from Xiao Zhao's group, is one of only two artists signed with Qinhuang Entertainment. Some people have heard her call Liu Jing "Uncle."

Zhao Liying, from Yin Li's group, is an artist signed to Fan Bingbing's studio and Fan Xiaopang's assistant. Last year, Fan Xiaopang posted a photo of himself swimming with Liu Jing; the girl with the round face is Zhao Liying.

Yuan Shanshan, from Zhou Zhiruo's group, is Yang Mi's roommate and Liu Jing are all students in the 05 class of Beijing Film Academy. She and Liu Jing often eat together at school.

Zhang Tianai, from Zhao Min's group, is a newly signed artist with Spring & Autumn Entertainment and Zhang Min's secretary. According to an insider at Spring & Autumn Entertainment, Zhang Tianai is also considered Liu Jing's (Zhang Min's) half-secretary, and she is also Zhang Min's niece.

Zhu Yilong, who plays Zhang Wuji, is a student from the 06 class of Beijing Film Academy. He is from Jiangcheng and is suspected to be a relative of Liu Jing. He has now been signed by Spring and Autumn.

The article, spanning over a thousand words, not only revealed information about the five individuals but also described their interactions with Liu Jing in great detail.

In conclusion, the so-called casting was just a show, and it was all pre-arranged and manipulated by Liu Jing.

The post sparked a strong reaction, with Liu Jing receiving a flood of negative comments.

“Mom said that one of Zhu Yilong’s relatives is actually our neighbor.” Qianqian found it amazing.

“When you’re successful, you’ll have relatives and neighbors everywhere. When you’re down on your luck, no one will want to know you even if you’re face to face. Besides, through six people, you can get to know anyone in the world. We’re both from Jiangcheng, two people are enough,” Liu Jing sighed.

"Who posted that later? It seems like Yang Mi's doing." Xixi was very curious.

The first post was definitely made by someone with ulterior motives, which caused many people to condemn Liu Jing.

Two days ago, another post appeared, saying that many contestants were related to Liu Jing.

Re Yizha from Xiao Zhao's group is Yang Mi's best friend, even closer than roommates. Lan Yan from Xiao Zhao's group is Director Tang's new girlfriend; Cheng Long and Liu Jing are good brothers. Zhang Meng from Yin Li's group is strongly supported by Yang Mi…

Upon closer examination, netizens realized it was indeed true; the entertainment industry is indeed a small world, and Liu Jing's connections are truly impressive.

"Xiao Bai had someone post it, but Yang Mi took the opportunity to slip in her own message." Liu Jing chuckled, taking advantage of the buzz to explain for him while also exposing Lan Yan.

If you throw a stone, a third bird will follow.

In the casting for Diao Chan in the new Three Kingdoms, there were four people competing: Fan Xiaopang, Huang Shengyi, Lin Chi-ling, and Ruby Lin.

The production team had extended an invitation to Sissi, but she refused without hesitation. Diao Chan is one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, and she would rather play other roles than this one.

Fan Xiaopang has stated that he will not be playing the role due to scheduling conflicts and salary issues.

Yang Mi thought Ruby Lin was the most likely candidate, so she helped her find something to do.

Just as Sisi was about to ask what her personal items were, Liu Shishi came out wrapped in a bath towel and drying her hair.

The towel was wrapped a bit too low, mainly because it wouldn't stay on. Not only was a large expanse of snow-white skin exposed, but her two legs were even more dazzling.

Sisi frowned. "This is my house. Is it appropriate for you to dress like this?"

The little lion is very open and doesn't hide anything. "After being treated so badly by you two last night, what do I have to be afraid of? I don't believe you, Liu Yifei, would dare to expose these photos over something like this."

She had been thinking for a while when she suddenly realized something. Liu Yifei's decision not to let her tell her senior brother meant she didn't want him to know, since it was a bad thing done while he was in a daze.

So you could say that this is her weakness, and also Liu Yifei's weakness.

"Senior brother, I'm not playing the woman in yellow anymore. I want Zhou Zhiruo. You can decide what to do."

boom!
The lights went out.
