Chapter 20. Pool of Blood

Lord Jellyfish agonised over this for several days before deciding to go with the Mystical Protection Department's smoking bro's recommendation and apply for East China Normal. To the side, Ji Hong desperately pulled at Lord Jellyfish's sleeve, begging to enrol in the same school.

Lord Jellyfish firmly stated, "I want to study Computer Skills."

Ji Hong said, "Regardless if it's East China Normal or Dong Hua, they're both not bad. If you really want to study Computer Skills, you can minor in it. I beg you to join me and board at the same dorm!"

His eyes sparkled as he looked at Lord Jellyfish. "In the end, we are both monsters. If we were to enrol in the same school, the Mystical Protection Department could pull some strings and let us share a dorm room. No matter if it's to you or to me, it's very convenient."

Reverting to their original form or whatever, that's just too perfect!

Lord Jellyfish plainly said, "Even so, all the dorms are four-people or eight-people rooms. It's useless if it's just us."

Ji Hong was momentarily stumped, then, hugging Lord Jellyfish's leg, he started wailing, "I'm begging you Lord Jellyfish, help me out. It's terrifying for a Plymouth Rock chicken like me to live alone in the human world! I'm deathly afraid that I'll bump into a powerful existence someday who'll boil me and eat me up!"

In the instant Ji Hong hugged Lord Jellyfish's legs, the lower half of Lord Jellyfish' body transformed into a narrow stream of water. Ji Hong's surprise hug attack failed and he face-planted into the ground below Lord Jellyfish's body. Like a phantom, Lord Jellyfish ghosted to the side and the puddle of water on the ground reformed into his body.

Lord Jellyfish's lips twitched. "Even if we enrolled in the same school, we aren't in the same faculty, okay? I recall S city has a university district? That Dong Hua that you're applying for has an old and new campus wing, your Arts' school is in the old wing, while I would have to go to the new wing since I'm taking the usual enrolment route.

Ji Hong was dumbfounded. "Ah, is there really such a thing?"

Lord Jellyfish no longer wanted to bother with this silly chicken. Even though the little fox was also silly, but he was silly in a cute way; he was silly but also quick-witted. The Plymouth Rock chicken before him was silly in the way that only made people want to stew him= =

Lord Jellyfish was unmoved and wrote down East China Normal University on his application form, making sure to write down the school's code before handing it to the smoking bro. Ji Hong continued to sob loudly by his feet, as tragically as if his father had just died.

"Although East China Normal is not some powerhouse school in the IT field, they still participated in Project 985 and Project 211[1]. Furthermore, I've taken a look at the map of the school. The IT campus is in the Minhang District while Dong Hua's Arts' faculty is at Yan'an Road so…… you better just give up."

What let Lord Jellyfish feel most satisfied was the face that in East China Normal's Minhang District, there was a river right beside the student dormitories!

If ever the little fox needed to go elsewhere to film, he could absolutely toss himself in the river as an express delivery, convenient and safe~ Abandoning the little crying rooster, Lord Jellyfish merrily returned to S city. He followed the underground rivers back to Hua Ji's side and just so happened to witness Hua Ji in the middle of acting.

In regards to the various unscientific points about the cast and crew, Director Yu generally pretended not to see anything. He smartly scheduled all the fighting scenes first, aiming to clear them all at once and leaving only the dialogue scenes. That way, he wouldn't need to look at those extras that had alien-looking faces on a daily basis anymore.

When Lord Jellyfish returned, the cast and crew were almost at the part where Hua Ji and the Devil Sect Sect Leader exchanged blows.

At this point, the Devil Sect Sect Leader was already fanatically infatuated with the Female Lead and Feng Hui Xue was desperately trying to rescue the Sect Leader's IQ. However, the Sect Leader brushed aside all of Feng Hui Xue's words of advice. He even thought Feng Hui Xue also liked the Female Lead and was competing with him for her affections; thus, he wanted to punish Feng Hui Xue= =

…… It was a mystery how the brain of the senior actor playing the Sect Leader worked. Anyways, when Hua Ji saw the description of this part, his face twisted into a strange expression.

The senior actor who played the Devil Sect Sect Leader was surnamed Du, for the time being we'll call him Brother Gu.

Brother Du changed into his costume, a black Changpao[2] with dragons embroidered on it. His hair was scattered across his back and his collar was even trimmed with pure-white fur. His lapel was embroidered with golden thread and a palm-wide, silvery-grey belt wrapped around his waist. Don't look down on Brother Du just because he's nearing 40, his figure was slim and fit, and when the belt cinched his waist, it made him look especially good. He had a strong brow and starry eyes, and the corners of his eyes were specially dusted with eyeshadow. The purple eyeshadow gave him an extra air of seductive charm and unrestrained wildness.

The Devil Sect Sect Leader was proficient in hand-to-hand martial arts and the current scene was set in an ancient-styled, beautiful bedroom. Brother Du stood in front of the Sect Leader's seat, back facing Feng Hui Xue. Feng Hui Xue was half-kneeling behind him, advising him in a low tone.

Director Yu waved his hand: Action!

Feng Hui Xue said, "Sect leader! There's something wrong with that woman, she must be lying!"

Sect Leader: "Oh? Still saying these things? She said that the Celestial Sword ruins were in Longxi, and you even reported to me recently that no matter if it's the Righteous Alliance or other great powers, they all dispatched people to Longxi Meishan. Now, you're telling me that the report a few days ago was false?"

Feng Hui Xue: "Sect Leader, those reports were not falsified, but that woman truly dos not know anything. Previously, she was only speaking nonsense. These past few days, this subordinate has been carefully investigating and found out that Su Jing Hua (Male Lead) had never told Qing Qing (Female Lead) the truth. He was lying to her."

The Sect Leader suddenly turned around, he calmly looked at Feng Hui Xue. "Oh? Truly?"

Feng Hui Xue anxiously said, "This subordinate has a loyal heart and would never dare to lie to or conceal things from Sect Leader!!"

At this instance, the screen behind the Sect Leader was suddenly toppled by someone. The Female Lead Ye Qing Qing who was supposed to be locked up in the dungeons suddenly rushed out. She wore a green dress, as if a fae from the woods, natural and pure. At this moment, her face was filled with fright and disbelief, her voice weak and broken. "No, that's not possible! You're lying to me!"

The corner of the Devil Sect Sect Leader's lips revealed a pleased smile. Instantly, this smile vanished and he turned to comfort the Female Lead Ye Qing Qing, "Qing Qing, the people of the Righteous path are all hypocritical and treacherous. You musn't be sad, I……"

The words just fell when Feng Hui Xue said in an equally disbelieving voice, "Sect Leader! Why is that woman here?"

The Devil Sect Sect Leader said with dissatisfaction, "Impudent! What this lord wants to do, do I need to first seek out your approval?"

Feng Hui Xue was extremely stirred up. "Sect Leader! This demonic woman is tricking you! She caused the death of so many sect brothers, how could you……"

The Devil Sect Sect Leader burst out in fury, "Get lost!"

He lifted his hands and flipped the desk in front of him. There were still brushes, ink, paper and ink-stones on the table. These things were sent flying and Hua Ji purposed found an angle where those ink-stones would strike his head. The black ink slowly flowed along the corner of his eyes, dripping onto his pure-white Changpao like tears.

Yet he didn't care about the ink on his body, crawling forward two steps on his knees. "Sect Leader please reconsider."

Ye Qing Qing was seemingly frightened; she unconscious retreated a step, returning to her hiding place behind the screen, weakly saying, "This, the both of you don't fight anymore. IF there's anything just calmly talk it out."

The Devil Sect Sect Leader looked at Ye Qing Qing with infatuation. "Qing Qing, you're so kind……"

Feng Hui Xue stared at Ye Qing Qing with hatred, suddenly leaping up and abruptly striking out at the Female Lead with the whip in his hand. He howled, "You demonic woman! I must kill you!"

The Devil Sect Sect Leader was infuriated. "Enough! Qing Qing was protecting you, yet you want to kill her!"

In the next instant, the Sect Leader lifted his hand and smacked toward Feng Hui Xue.

Of course, the great Sect Leader's move didn't have a single trace of power, yet Hua Ji's whip contained demonic energy. Ye Qing Qing's expression changed as she accidentally broke the screen in front of her. The iron panel fell back, and demonic energy invisible to the naked eye brushed past He Bai's belt and lapel, smashing the bookshelf behind He Bai into smithereens.

On this side, Hua Ji coordinated with the Devil Sect Sect Leader's blow and was blasted away, spitting tomato juice all over the floor.

"Sect Leader?" His expression was vacant and sluggish. "For that woman, you actually……"

"Impudent!! Someone come! Feng Hui Xue has committed the crime of offending this lord, lock him up in the dungeons to reflect on his errors!!"

The words just fell when the guards A and B that were on standby rushed into the room to take away Feng Hui Xue. Feng Hui Xue desperately struggled, shouting, "Sect Leader!! That demonic woman was obviously fed muscle relaxing powder, yet she was still able to dodge my attack. It can be seen that she hasn't lost her internal force! She's harbouring treacherous motives!!"

The corner of Young Maiden He Bai's lips twitched slightly. Ah f*ck! According to the script, she indeed lost her internal force, but the situation just now caused her to have no choice but to dodge, or else she would be lying on her bed nursing her injuries!

Thinking up to this point, the young maiden looked at Feng Hui Xue with malice, suddenly stepping forward a few steps to tug on the Devil Sect Sect Leader's sleeve, sobbing as she said, "Big brother Mo, don't be like this. This big brother was only worried about you."

After that, she used the deep and emotional gaze that she practiced for a whole two months to look at Hua Ji.

Hua Ji's whole body suddenly quivered.

The Devil Sect Sect Leader looked at Ye Qing Qing's gaze in shock, then followed her gaze to Feng Hui Xue. In the instant he discovered both people were staring at each other, the Devil Sect Sect Leader's expression twisted hideously.

When Director Yu who was behind the camera saw this scene, he was extremely satisfied with how Brother Du's gaze changed.

The final scene thus ended.

The Devil Sect Sect Leader viciously sent a slap towards Feng Hui Xue. This slap directly knocked Feng Hui Xue unconscious. Feng Hui Xue spat out large mouthfuls of blood, falling to the ground like a broken doll.

That's right, to display the Sect Leader's profound strength, as well as the suspicion and jealously he held towards Feng Hui Xue, the martial arts director requested the Devil Sect Sect Leader to shred Feng Hui Xue's upper body's garment with a blow= =

Hence, Hua Ji had to circulate the demonic energy within his body to destroy the clothes on his body while feigning unconsciousness.

The loyal and dismal Feng Hui Xue collapsed with a body full of wounds, in a pool of blood and fainted dead away. He was roughly dragged out by two guards, his blood drawing out a long streak of red and disappearing out the door.

When Lord Jellyfish returned, this was exactly the scene that he saw.

He froze.

TN: Sorry for vanishing for two months >.< This has been quite the hectic semester. My holidays are coming up though so I’ll be able to update more for the six weeks I’m off from school. However, for the next two weeks, likely no updates. I’ll try to make it up to you guys!
