Title: The Villain's Contract Lover
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 8 - “Take The Yang Qi For One’s Own Use” (She wanted to appease him, and after HuanYu had gone bankrupt at that.) (3)
“Not Enough Time To Love You” was a niche web series, and Xu WanZhi played the role of a cannon fodder who insisted on being the third wheel between the male and female leads. The scene today was after the female lead had already turned dark and went directly over to the cannon fodder’s place, slapped her across her face, and revealed all of her plots. And that was the last scene for the cannon fodder.
Xu WanZhi was speechless; why was she a cannon fodder anywhere she went?
That afternoon, she took the little minivan to the filming location. As soon as she exited the car and walked over to the set, she could hear a high-pitch female voice whining, “Director, the main focus of this show was fast pace story arc and heated conflicts. If there’s slapping in the scene, we must do it for real instead of a pretend slap. We should film it straight in front of the audience. Besides… if it was the wife coming to confront the mistress, it doesn’t make sense to stop at one slap and some nasty verbal exchanges. She’d at least have to bring a few others with her and give the mistress a real beating. That’s what the audiences really wanted to see, wouldn’t you agree?”
The one talking was Zhou LiQian.
This was going to be Xu WanZhi’s last scene. Naturally, Zhou LiQian would want to take this opportunity and deal the most damage to her.
Xu WanZhi chuckled. A beating? She must be joking. Alright, let’s see who’s going to be the one on the receiving end here.
Xu WanZhi walked inside at an even pace with a coconut in her hand.
By now, the director was trying to talk down Zhou LiQian. “Xiao Xu has her backer too, you know? You should tone it down. Why ruin your future over something so minor? You will be going your own way after today’s scene. What is the point of all this?”
Seeing that Xu WanZhi had arrived, Zhou LiQian had taken it up another notch. She walked over to Xu WanZhi, pointed straight at her nose, and said, “Everybody in this circle has a couple backers! Isn’t her backer that Mu ZhenYu who had just gone bankrupt? Hoho! Many slapping scenes are real nowadays. That’s called sacrificing for the art. Do you not want me to slap you for real because you’re worried that I just might mess up your plastic surgery?”
Truth be told, even in the book, Xu WanZhi was a natural beauty. But perhaps because she was too pretty, on top of all her other gossips, many called her a plastic surgery monster.
Many there busted out laughing after Zhou LiQian had finished talking.
The very next moment, Xu WanZhi quickly lifted up her left hand, grabbed Zhou LiQian’s hand, rotated her wrist, and subdued her with her arm pinned behind her back. She casted a spell in her right hand and with a little bit of force, crushed the fresh coconut in her hand into three pieces.
Xu WanZhi smacked down the remnants of the coconut in front of Zhou LiQian and chuckled. “Sure. You want to fight? Let’s see whose plastic surgery will be displaced first.”
She had lived in the time when everybody cultivated. Let it be flowers, birds, fish, insects, beasts in the air, or beasts on the land, every one of them would cultivate toward becoming a demon. Never mind all the living things, even a pile of sh*t on the side of the road would wish to be stepped on by a highly cultivated monk so it could absorb some of his qi to increase its own cultivation level.
Would she let just a regular human bully her after living in that dog-eat-dog world for 500 years? What a joke that would be!
