You are not monster girls!

Chapter 114: Chu Renmei vs. Yuanshi Tianzun - Who Will Win? (4k Two-in-One)

Inspired by Qingyi, Lin Muran decided to make the theme of her new video "Ghost Princess".

However, Ghost Princess, being a monster created from human souls, is one of the few monsters in the monster encyclopedia that does not have a specific image, but only distinguishable features.

Therefore, even if the theme is determined, whether it is Japanese style, Chinese style, or classic anime style, it still needs to be carefully considered in light of Bai Mengqing's painting style.

Moreover, in terms of copywriting, Xia Li, as a security guard, has an aura that can easily overshadow most of the characters in ghost movies. Perhaps only the old zombie in "Zombie 2013" could last half a second under her claws. Therefore, it is hard to imagine that her writing is as infectious as before. You have to watch the movie with her and then perceive the emotions of the characters in the movie before you can create your own work.

Paranormal video commentary can be divided into two types: one is hardcore gameplay and theory, and the other is telling ghost stories. The former is usually restricted or banned because it involves feudal superstition, while the latter places more emphasis on the narrative techniques of the script.

Even if the video has eerie music, if the narrator's tone and script don't match, it's hard to achieve the effect of immersion or electronic pickled vegetables.

Therefore, it is necessary to let these two spirit beasts review the classic ghost movies from those years, collect and organize materials, and understand their significance for modern mortals.

Of course, mental illness is excluded.

Lin Muran deliberately chose the morning when the yang energy was at its peak, and selected a few relatively classic ghost movies and two spirit beasts to watch together in front of the TV.

I used to think that the big screen was just an excuse for landlords to raise rents, but I never imagined that it would become an indispensable part of life without me even realizing it.

When he was in joy, I was heartbroken.
The moon knows the sorrow in her heart; the abandoned woman's regret comes too late.
Do you remember, on that day, the phoenixes joyfully winged together?
Do you remember? The butterfly knew he had betrayed his kindness.
A shrill, piercing female voice sang the lyrics with dramatic intonation. A woman in blue, with her back to the old man and the man, slowly sank into the water, until only her hair remained scattered on the surface.
Is this movie scary?

“Not scary,” Emperor Roar said calmly.

"Exactly, it's something that turns to ash with a breath of mine, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lin Muran selected several classic ghost movies as reference material for these spirit beasts. The one they were currently watching was a childhood nightmare for most people, a prime example of the current fantasy genre—"The Beauty of Chu."

"Then why are you two hugging me? Especially you, you stupid dragon, get off me right now."

Lin Muran looked at Bai Mengqing, who was hugging her neck in a princess carry, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This dragon was much heavier than a girl of the same size, but fortunately its legs and body were very soft, making it comfortable to hold. Lin Muran forced herself to mention it only when the movie was in its bland narrative phase.

Xia Li seemed to have a jumping motion in mind, but she was beaten to it. She could only secretly move her buttocks closer to Lin Muran as much as possible. In the end, she seemed to feel uncomfortable, so she also took his arm.

“You don’t understand. I’m protecting you. Look at that old man and Chu Renmei, who were such good friends, and he still got smashed through the guts.”

As Bai Mengqing spoke, she slightly adjusted her posture, shifting the weight of her chest to Lin Muran to make herself more comfortable.

"It's not like I won't get pierced by steel bars if I hug you," Lin Muran retorted.

He originally thought that ghosts would have no effect on dragons from the world of immortals and heroes, but he didn't expect them to be so afraid of them. His worldview was once again shaken.

However, from another perspective, this also shows that these two spirit beasts are becoming more and more like "humans," so it's not entirely a bad thing. Just kidding.

Just like Xia Li's bloodline suppression of Bai Mengqing, unless the spirit beasts encounter a powerful ghost immortal, they should normally not even look at each other.

Besides, this is just a ghost movie; it's fake.

Bai Mengqing's current state is reminiscent of seeing Xia Li at the very beginning, suddenly flying to the ceiling and grabbing the wall with both hands and feet.

"If you're scared, just say so. I won't laugh at you."

"You're the one who's scared!!" Bai Mengqing retorted, somewhat displeased. "Chu Renmei isn't an ordinary ghost!!"

"What's the explanation?" Lin Muran asked curiously.

In his view, Chu Renmei was nothing more than a water ghost who died with a grudge. The reason so many people in the show died was simply because they were inexplicably spinning around in place waiting to die. It was only because the protagonist closed his eyes and guessed the solution with zero combat power that he survived.

Although he couldn't help the other person pass on to the afterlife, capturing them wouldn't be too difficult.

"I read on Yaguchi and pink websites that she often fights Bodhi Patriarch, Zhenyuan Daxian, and Yuanshi Tianzun. Her cultivation is unfathomable, so it's normal for her to be shocked by their aura."

Bai Mengqing was tossed back onto the sofa by Lin Muran, her cheeks puffed out, as if complaining that this mortal didn't understand her.

She had heard of the woman with only whites of her eyes on the cover before watching the movie, but she never expected that she could reach the level of killing people remotely in the spiritually sparse environment of the Upper Realm.

Even Xia Li couldn't achieve this level of skill after coming here.

Who knows, maybe she'll be able to crawl out of the TV like that Japanese woman named Sadako.

Anyway, Lin Muran is just a mortal and wouldn't understand, so it's not wrong for him to say it's not scary.

“Agreed. Emperor Roar also saw a similar analysis and said the same thing.”

Xia Li understood the current system of gods and felt that after reviewing a bunch of conclusions, this woman was completely different from the evil spirits she had encountered with her master before, and one claw would definitely not be enough to deal with her.

It takes at least two claws.

If it were to climb out of the TV, it would probably deserve another kick.

"That was just something they said jokingly."

Lin Muran hadn't expected that this dragon would actually take the fabricated story seriously, so he could only explain and correct the dragon's distorted understanding at the same time:

"Chu Renmei is just an insignificant vengeful ghost from your side. Most of the things on Zhihu are made up."

"fake?"

Bai Mengqing blinked her vertical pupils, then looked at Xia Li on the other side, and saw that the other party did not respond to her for a long time:

"If it's fabricated, how could they fabricate it in such detail?"

She didn't quite understand why they could write so many words with such righteous indignation about something that was clearly impossible.

"This is called 'reverse fishing for fun.'" Lin Muran hadn't studied psychology, so he could only categorize this behavior into a single broad category.

Although there are genuinely mentally challenged individuals, they are all national treasures.

"Reverse posing as a fish?" Bai Mengqing's tail curled into a question mark.

Fishing requires a fishing rod, so how can you fish with a keyboard? Is it because you're using a handwriting input method that you don't know how to fish?
"For example, Emperor Roar believes that the ingredients are not only stronger than Emperor Roar, but even a level stronger than his master. He is one of the top experts."

Xia Li twitched her ears and volunteered to provide the explanation.

"Emperor Roar is your loyal fan," Emperor Roar repeatedly emphasized. "As expected of the gatekeeper who oversees everything, he has a good eye for talent." Upon hearing this, Bai Mengqing couldn't help but straighten her back, pat her chest, and her bright smile almost burst out.

"Sorry, fans, I don't plan to take on any apprentices recently. I'll come back in 100 years. Of course, you can also kowtow three times directly."

Compared to Lin Muran's 21 fans, Bai Mengqing felt a greater sense of accomplishment in making her nemesis Xia Li her fan.

"."

Xia Li, who had been wagging its tail happily, gradually slowed down its wagging motion, and finally drooped down on Lin Muran's thigh like an impotent man.

It was obvious that he was not very satisfied with Bai Mengqing's reaction.

She never expected that what was supposed to be a demonstration of how to cross-dress would turn into a feeling of being humiliated, and she fell silent.

Is this the legendary case of a fool defeating a master?
"This is cross-dressing."

Lin Muran knew that Xia Li was obviously being sarcastic, but he didn't expect that the dragon would actually believe him.

That would reduce the fun of cross-dressing by half.

The greatest fun of cross-dressing lies in everyone knowing you're being sarcastic, and then extending the conversation further to humiliate and embarrass the other person, all for the purpose of amusement.
Seeing that Xia Li had no reaction, Bai Mengqing turned to Lin Muran and said, "Lin Muran, you can chat with me anytime, I really like it."

The feeling of having Lin Muran kowtow to you must be even better than having your tail rubbed by hand.

"You were so smug and happy just now, no one in this family will pretend to be a woman," Lin Muran complained.

Now, fishing might be the only source of amusement from this dragon.

Perhaps it's because this dragon is good-looking and has little experience being human, but it gets angry quite directly. Even if it's unhappy, you can tell from its tail. It doesn't have that affected feeling, and it gives you the feeling of teasing a cute human cub.

Women's minds are hard to fathom, thankfully Bai Mengqing isn't a woman.

"Ah... then I'll just be a little guilty." Bai Mengqing's expression softened considerably, but the swaying of her tail didn't diminish at all.

"Then why don't you let Xia Li praise you directly?" Lin Muran felt it was better not to let this simple-minded dragon learn such slang.

Online it could be considered a cross-dressing act, but offline it could easily turn into sarcastic or sarcastic remarks. He couldn't imagine the dragon speaking in a sarcastic or sarcastic way; it just felt strangely incongruous.

"what"

Bai Mengqing turned to look at Xia Li, her reflection in her sunglasses full of disbelief: "What's so great about me?"

Aside from painting, she didn't know what else Xia Li would praise her for, since Xia Li's looks after taking off her sunglasses were actually just as good as hers.

"The ingredients are of very high purity," Emperor Roar said with great envy. As Xia Li spoke, she clenched her claws and then opened them as if to show them off.

"High purity?" Bai Mengqing tilted her head, her tail twitching.

She only knew that there were chocolates and liquors with very high purity, but they were either unbearably bitter or so spicy they would make your tongue fall off. In short, they were very unpalatable, which Long disliked very much.

The dragon is of high purity.
Does it mean it tastes bad?

If the dragon's natural enemies find it unpalatable, it means the dragon has cultivated itself correctly.
But lately I've only been practicing drawing.
It can't be that butter's technology has improved, can it?
Bai Mengqing couldn't understand the meaning of Xia Li's words at all, and could only cast a thirsty look at Lin Muran.

"It's just praising you for being serious, meticulous, and diligent in your work." Lin Muran simply translated Xia Li's words, though he had no idea whether Xia Li was referring to Ding Zhen or Hanma Yujiro.

But as long as you say nice things, there will definitely be no problem.

Although this dragon enjoys being flattered, it must be based on reason and evidence.

"Of course, painting relies on daily accumulation. Let's focus on watching movies and collecting materials to make good videos."

Bai Mengqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her smugness. Her wariness of Xia Li decreased a little, and she obediently finished reading "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village". Even when she was scared, she did not suddenly jump into Lin Muran's arms again.

"So, it turns out that people in this world can only convert vengeful ghosts with love?"

She was completely confused after reading it. If a final hug would make Chu Renmei let the male lead go, then the old man who buried her in the first place must have died a very unjust death.

And why do ordinary people, without spiritual power or magic, always like to go to places where there are ghosts?

Isn't this just plain stupid?
"Insufficient firepower, we can only rely on love to influence," Emperor Hou explained to the ingredients. Compared to the part where Chu Renmei frightens and harms people, she was more interested in the main plot.

"So they went into those ominous places just to see ghosts?"

"Mortals have very weak spiritual perception and can only satisfy their curiosity by courting death," Emperor Roar explained very professionally.

When Xia Li and Qing Yi were trying out haunted houses, they would occasionally encounter people holding up their phone cameras. They would talk about ghost hunting and act all high and mighty, but even after a ghost had licked them all over, they wouldn't notice anything amiss. In the end, they would even say that if they wanted to fight, they could. But when they were actually harassed by these people, they would cry and beg at temples.

"However, I remember that some formations, once formed, also have a certain effect of gathering spiritual energy."

Bai Mengqing seemed to recall seeing temple fairs and ceremonies held occasionally in ordinary villages, where an ordinary person dressed in a Taoist robe would jump around and mutter, attracting many wandering ghosts seeking salvation.

"Is there such a formation here too?" she asked curiously.

“Yes. I saw Di Hou say something like that when he was watching videos with his master.” Xia Li nodded.

Supernatural videos are also one of Qingyi's favorite categories. Several episodes are about folk methods of summoning spirits. If Xiali hadn't stopped her, she might have actually performed the ritual in that small, dilapidated house.

"Yes, but it's hard to say whether it's true."

Even if Lin Muran returned from another world and raised two spirit beasts, knowing that ghosts most likely exist, it's hard to say whether spirit communication games like the Four Corners Game, Ouija Board, and Spirit Tablet are actually effective.

"Quickly, Lin Muran, let me see it!" Bai Mengqing was inexplicably excited and shook Lin Muran wildly.

A spirit-gathering array that can be activated without spiritual power might be a clue to replenishing spiritual power, which greatly interests Bai Mengqing, who has been suffering from a lack of spiritual power for many years.

If I could replenish my spiritual energy, I could paint one picture a day, or even ten animated pictures a day.

With Xia Li and Lin Muran around, even a ghost immortal would have to kneel before her.

"I do have plans for a similar film."

As Lin Muran spoke, he operated the TV, switching "The Village Corpse" to "Ten Ways to See Ghosts".
