Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

"you guess?"

Long Nier withdrew her hand and tilted her head to look at me.

"How am I supposed to guess!" I said, somewhat helplessly.

Long Nier stared at me for a long time before saying, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't use the poison?"

"letter!"

I hesitated for a moment, then uttered a single word.

"Brother, you still don't believe me!"

Long Nier's smile vanished, replaced by a forlorn expression. She murmured, "What happened back then was actually quite simple. I was captured and sent to the Yin Marriage Cave. The witch doctor in my clan, wanting to sever my hopes, put a curse on the letter I wrote back to you!"

"Is that really true?" I didn't know whether I should believe her.

"Just kidding!"

The next moment, Long Nier suddenly made a face at me and said, "I just want to see if you can withstand my curse. If you can, you're my man; if you can't, then you're not tough enough to be my man!"

With that, she waved her hand, "Alright, you can rest now. I'm going back; I have to catch an early flight tomorrow!"

Looking at Long Nier, who changes her attitude every now and then, I don't know which of her words are true and which are false.

I thought about it and sent a message to Fatty, asking him to come over.

In less than half a minute, Fatty Lin peeked over.

After entering the room, he glanced at me and asked, "Finished so quickly?"

"roll!"

I was so angry that my chest hurt.

"You crazy guy, since you're here, just go for it. Long Nier is obviously clinging to you. She's not ugly, she's actually quite pretty. She looks a bit like the actress who played Nie Xiaoqian. Just go for it, you won't lose anything!"

Fatty Lin didn't care about my attitude at all, and instead tried to persuade me with the air of someone who had been through it all.

"Stop babbling and help me analyze this!"

I was too tired to argue with him, so I told him what Long Nier had said.

After I finished speaking, I asked, "Fatty, which of Long Ni'er's words are true?"

"If she really did enter the Yin Marriage Cave, then the Gu poison in your body might not have been inflicted by her!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.

"The name 'Yinjia Cave' sounds familiar. Can you tell me about it?" I said.

"In the Hunan-Guizhou region, there is a tradition of worshipping cave gods. Some girls with outstanding looks or special destinies are offered as sacrifices to the cave gods. The cave gods can be mountain spirits or monsters, but most of them are Gu (a type of poisonous insect)!"

"Because the person being married is not a human, it's also called a 'ghost marriage'!"

"This custom is only practiced by some Black Miao tribes living deep in the mountains of western Hunan!"

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Black Miao tribes like this anymore!"

Lin the Fatty said as he thought about it.

"However, there might have been such a tribe ten years ago. If Long Ni'er crawled out of the Yin Jia Cave, that would explain why her personality is so changeable!"

As he spoke, Fatty Lin abruptly changed the subject, "Madman, as far as I know, very few people who enter the Yin Marriage Cave manage to climb back up. Even if it's not a certain death sentence, it's pretty much the same!"

"The fact that she managed to climb out might mean she genuinely sees you as a source of comfort!"

"Furthermore, the Gu-wielding tradition in western Hunan is hereditary. If the previous generation of Gu-wielding women has no offspring, a young girl from the clan will be chosen to inherit the Gu-wielding skills!"

"If a girl refuses, at best she will be stripped of her status and expelled from the village; at worst she will be sacrificed, such as being married off to the cave god!"

"Looking at it this way, it's quite possible that the Gu poison in your body wasn't inflicted by Long Nier. What she told you at the beginning might actually be true!"

"Then why did she later tell me that she was the one who cast the curse?" I asked.

"Maybe they're afraid you'll pity her and don't want you to fall in love with her out of pity!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.

"Is there anything else?" I asked.

"There are definitely more, but how would I know that many!"

Fatty Lin rolled his eyes and said, "I've never been in a relationship!"

"Haven't you been with women all these years?" I said.

"I wasn't dating them, I was paying for their services. They all had to serve me, why should I need to guess what they were thinking!" Fatty Lin rubbed his nose, glared at me, and said, "Alright, I'm going back to sleep. You can guess for yourself!"

"Get out of here!"

I waved my hand impatiently.

Lying in bed, I just couldn't fall asleep.

One moment he was thinking about how to handle his relationship with Long Nier, and the next he was thinking about the suffering he endured for six months after being poisoned by the Gu.

Thinking about it until midnight, I drifted off to sleep and had a dream. In the dream, Long Nier was struggling in a cave with a dim light, surrounded by swarms of poisonous insects.

Just as I was about to say something, someone blew a warm breath into my ear, making it tickle.

I scratched myself, opened my eyes, and met a pair of clear eyes—it was Long Nier.

"Lazybones, wake up!"

Long Nier tapped the tip of my nose.

"oh!"

I'm not used to her intimacy at all.

Seeing my embarrassment, Long Nier didn't mind. She crossed her arms and watched me get up, get dressed, and wash up with a smile.

After washing up, I went downstairs for dinner.

After dinner, Liu Mochou escorted us to the airport as if we were plague carriers.

When we arrived at the airport, the moment Liu Mochou stepped out of the car, I clearly saw her breathe a sigh of relief.

When I got off the plane at 12:30 pm, I glanced at my phone and saw several missed calls, all from Aunt Xiao. I called them back.

"Xiao Feng, you've landed? I'm here to pick you up. You really stole the show on this trip to Hong Kong!"

As soon as the call connected, Aunt Xiao's slightly exaggerated laughter came through.

"What's the buzz?" I asked.

"Xiao Feng, it's all over the industry now. You used a curse to kill Brother Da Rong's bodyguard, forcing Brother Da Rong to admit his mistake!" Aunt Xiao said with a smile.

"I used witchcraft to kill someone? To force Brother Da Rong to bow his head and apologize?"

I glanced at Long Nier, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Where did this news come from?!

"Alright, it's not convenient over the phone. I'm waiting for you outside. Come out and tell me everything!" Aunt Xiao said with a smile before hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Fatty Lin asked.

"Aunt Xiao knows about what happened yesterday!"

I gave a brief explanation.

"Logically speaking, the news shouldn't have spread this fast!"

Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "Mary wouldn't tell anyone about yesterday's events, neither would Zeng Xiaowei or Fatty, and it's unlikely that Rong's bodyguards would either!"

"Maybe it was Rong-ge who leaked the news himself!" Long Nier said.

"Did he leak the information himself?"

I was a little surprised.

"yes!"

Long Nier nodded: "Rather than being accused of being disloyal and heartless towards his subordinates in the future, it's better to announce that we offended a master, who used a curse to kill two of our bodyguards, thus losing face!"

"If you say that to others, no one will say anything to you. They might even help you promote your deeds in Hong Kong and portray you as a figure like the White Dragon King!"

"After all, no one can really find fault with the fact that the White Dragon King made us lose face!"
