Chapter 124 Meals Delivered by a Dead Man

[Wow, Yun Shu is really something! Her sword dance is amazing! You can't even tell she's on wires while she's dancing; you'd think she could fly!]

[I feel like there wasn't any wire support, right? The stage lights were always on Yun Shu, and you could see there were no wires suspending her. Besides, even if she were suspended by wires, her movements wouldn't be as smooth and graceful as hers!]

Just as the audience was cheering wildly for Yun Shu, Yun Shu jumped down from the sky again. This time, she didn't do anything. She landed steadily with her sword on her back, her clothes fluttering, and then she gracefully bowed to the audience.

The music stopped.

A hush fell over the scene.

A few minutes later, a thunderous applause and cheers erupted, and the stands were filled with light boards bearing Yun Shu's name.

The host waited a long time before the cheers gradually subsided. She went on stage and said, "Thank you to mentor An Zhonglian's team for their wonderful performance. Now it's time for the judges to score."

Swish, swish, swish.

The judges eagerly raised their scorecards, all of which were ten points—full marks!

This surprised not only Yun Shu, but also her mentor An Zhonglian for a long time.

These judges are difficult to deal with. They never give a trainee a perfect score together, and they have always disliked Yun Shu. One of the judges even gave Yun Shu an extremely low score of 3.

In this final round, everyone got a perfect score!

Netizens were stunned.

Five perfect scores? This has never happened before since the variety show started filming!

[She deserves full marks! Yun Shu's final sword dance was absolutely stunning, showcasing her excellent dance and martial arts skills!]

[Absolutely stunning! If this doesn't deserve a perfect score, who can? And An Zhonglian is incredibly talented; the performances he choreographed for these trainees were the most unique!]

Even though I'm not a fan of Yun Shu, I thought her performance in the finals was amazing. Also, how can I learn Yun Shu's light-footed skill?

Yun Shu's sword dance not only received a perfect score in the finals, but the video also went viral online, with many people discussing whether she was actually suspended by wires.

Many professional dancers who watched Yun Shu's sword dance said that they couldn't achieve the same effect even when they were suspended by wires.

In the end, netizens concluded that Yun Shu had indeed secretly learned light-body skills!

In fact, Yun Shu didn't care too much about the finals. Her sword dance was just a routine she performed on stage, following the sword techniques she had learned from her master.

She never expected the dance to cause such a huge reaction, not only earning her a perfect score and successfully debuting as the number one performer, but also frequently trending on social media.

After receiving her award and stepping off the stage, Yun Shu was still a little dazed, not understanding why the audience was so enthusiastic and why the judges all gave her full marks.

"Congratulations."

It wasn't until Lu Shijing appeared in front of her that Yun Shu reacted and asked him, "When will the bonus be deposited into my bank account?"

Lu Shijing was surprised that the first thing she said to him after winning the competition was this. He chuckled to himself, "I can call you tomorrow."

"Yay!"

Yun Shu felt a surge of joy at the thought of the bonus, as if money had fallen from the sky.

The first prize is 500,000 yuan, which brings her one step closer to paying off all her debts!

Seeing how happy she was, Lu Shijing thought for a moment and said, "Shall I treat you to a late-night snack?"

After a while, he added, "This is to celebrate you getting first place, and also to thank you for everything you did for me before."

"OK."

Yun Shu agreed, and then remembered that she hadn't yet helped Lu Shijing resolve his fate issue, so she wanted to talk to him about it.

Last time, she asked King Zhou Xuan to pass on a message, and King Yama gave her an answer, which Yun Shu hasn't told Lu Shijing yet.

Yun Shu went to have a late-night snack with Lu Shijing.

Lu Shijing originally wanted to take Yun Shu to a quiet private kitchen, but Yun Shu wanted to eat barbecue, specifically the kind from a roadside stall.

Lu Shijing doesn't usually eat this kind of food, so he asked her, "Where do you want to eat?"

Yun Shu saw that there was a bustling city outside the car, and a large food stall had many people eating late-night snacks. "Let's eat at that one. There are a lot of people there, so it must be delicious!"

Lu Shijing glanced in the direction of the food stalls, feeling a little uncomfortable with the environment, but seeing Yun Shu's anticipation, he still said, "Okay."

When they arrived, there happened to be an empty table in a corner, so the two of them sat down there.

After ordering the food, Yun Shu talked to him about his destiny, saying, "The problem with your destiny is that you committed too many sins in your past life, and the retribution has come to you in this life. You need to use good deeds to resolve it."

Lu Shijing frowned and pondered for a moment, "What do you mean by resolving it with good deeds?"

"Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue means doing more good things."

After Yun Shu finished speaking, she took out a token from her bag. The token was made of jade, blood red in color, and had the character "景" engraved on it.

Later, King Xuan of Zhou came to see Yun Shu again and brought her this token, saying that it was given to her by the King of Hell.

“I asked a ghost in the underworld to inquire for you. The King of Hell said that when the blood color fades and the blood jade turns into white jade, it means that your merits have been fulfilled and your sins have been absolved.”

Yun Shu handed the token to Lu Shijing, "In addition, this is something given by the King of Hell, and it also has the function of protection. You can carry it with you at all times."

"Um."

Lu Shijing took the token handed to him by Yun Shu. The blood-red token looked somewhat eerie, but when he held it in his hand, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Lu Shijing looked at the token in his hand, his gaze drawn to the character "Jing" carved on it, and some fragments inexplicably flashed through his mind.

Broken tiles and ruins, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the crimson of blood stained the entire world, and the air was filled with the stench of slaughter.

Lu Shijing felt somewhat dazed, and a surge of violence rose in his heart. He quickly looked away and stopped staring at the token, and the feeling disappeared.

He looked at Yun Shu with a complicated expression, "What is the connection between this token and me?"

Yun Shu shook her head. "I don't know the specifics, but the King of Hell also brought a message saying that this originally belonged to you, and now it's being returned to its rightful owner."

Lu Shijing nodded and put the token away, thinking he might find out later.

The two chatted for a while, and the dishes they ordered were served one after another, so they didn't continue the topic.

What are your plans for the future?

Lu Shijing asked Yun Shu.

Yun Shu said, biting into a kebab, "Making money."

"I have a script for a supernatural TV series here. Would you be interested in trying your hand at acting?"

Seeing Yun Shu's surprised expression, Lu Shijing continued, "Because it's a supernatural film, the production team was worried about accidents during filming, and they originally planned to find a master to oversee the production."

Yun Shu understood. "You mean, if I act, you don't need to find a master, right?"

"Um."

Yun Shu remembered that others had said acting in TV dramas was very lucrative, so she readily agreed, "Great, then you can save some money."

Lu Shijing said, "The acting fee and the fee for hosting the event are separate, and I won't shortchange you a single penny. Compared to those shady 'masters' out there, I trust you more."

Yun Shu blinked, surprised that it was so amazing.

Lu Shijing then told her about the general situation of the film crew and asked her to audition in a few days.

After a while, the two had almost finished their late-night snack and were about to leave when Yun Shu suddenly noticed a woman walking past them who looked suspicious.

She turned her head and saw the woman walk up to the food stall owner, looking terrified and mysterious, and say, "Old Yao, I just ate food from a dead person! I suspect a dead person delivered it to me!"
