Since the "husband" scandal, Zhang Shaozhong feels like he's walking a tightrope.

His half-baked "emotional radar" became a source of torment, constantly reminding him of the delicate and dangerous balance between the two big shots.

Ling Qingxue didn't take any further action, continuing to read, meditate, and optimize the "feng shui" (although the Wi-Fi signal was intermittent). However, when she spoke to Zhang Shaozhong, her tone seemed more indifferent than usual, and the occasional glances she gave him carried a sense of "you should reflect on yourself," putting Zhang Shaozhong under immense pressure.

Meanwhile, Ye Meier went further and further down the path of "flirting with men," and seemed to enjoy it immensely.

She seemed to have found a new kind of fun in provoking Ling Qingxue, constantly making various small gestures.

For example, during meals, she would deliberately put the fatty meat she didn't like into Zhang Shaozhong's bowl, saying in a sweet voice, "Honey~ eat more, it'll help you recover~"

Then he glanced smugly at Ling Qingxue.

Zhang Shaozhong felt the "ambience" around Ling Qingxue drop instantly, and could only grit his teeth and force himself to eat, mumbling, "Big...Big sister, I can do it myself, I can do it myself..."

For example, when watching TV, she would deliberately squeeze next to Zhang Shaochong, almost pressing her whole body against him, and point at the male celebrities on the screen, commenting: "This one isn't as good-looking as my little Chongchong! Honey, don't you think so?"

Zhang Shaozhong felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, clearly able to feel the cold gaze coming from the other end of the sofa. He could only force a laugh and move to the side, saying, "Hehe...so-so, so-so..."

The worst part was at night. Sometimes, Ye Meier would wear an extremely revealing slip dress and wander around in front of Zhang Shaozhong's room, saying, "Honey~ are you asleep? I can't sleep, let's chat?"

Zhang Shaozhong was terrified every time, clinging tightly to the door and begging in a low voice, "Big sister! Dear sister! Please spare me! The fairy is right next door! Do you want me to die?!"

"Why don't you wait for me tonight?"

At times like these, he could sense a suppressed emotion emanating from Ling Qingxue's room, a mixture of displeasure and a hint of... "disappointment in someone who is not living up to their potential."

Meanwhile, Ye Meier, feeling gleeful at her successful prank, hummed a song as she returned to her room.

Zhang Shaozhong felt like he was being played to death by these two big shots.

His job as a "master of balance" is simply inhuman!

He wished he had a switch on his emotional radar!

That day, he couldn't hold back any longer. Taking advantage of Ye Meier going out to pick up a package, he slipped into the study and said to Ling Qingxue, who was reading a book, with a bitter face:

"Fairy...you see...that's just how my eldest sister is, she speaks without thinking, please don't take it to heart! I...I absolutely...didn't mean it that way!"

He was eager to show his loyalty, fearing that the fairy might "purify" him if she was displeased.

Ling Qingxue lifted her eyes from the book and glanced at him indifferently. Her gaze was calm and unwavering, yet it sent chills down Zhang Shaozhong's spine.

"I didn't care."

The translation is: "Whether you're interested or not is none of my business!!!" So women's words are always contradictory! They might be secretly wanting to die, but their mouths are incredibly stubborn!!!

Ling Qingxue's voice was devoid of emotion, "Mei'er is like this, I'm already used to it. But you..."

She paused, then said meaningfully, "You must have a firm resolve and not be disturbed by external demons."

Zhang Shaozhong: "..." Well, this is targeting him!

It is said that he lacks self-control and is easily tempted by Ye Meier, this "external demon"!

What else could he say?

He could only nod repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the fairy's teachings are correct! I will definitely strengthen my resolve to cultivate! Strengthen my resolve to cultivate!"

Emerging from the study, Zhang Shaozhong felt even more exhausted.

Amidst this chaotic daily routine, a new "path to wealth" appeared.

This time it wasn't a private message, but a phone call. The caller identified himself as a planner from a film and television production company, and said his surname was Liu.

"Is this Mr. Zhang from 'Tales of Immortals and Demons'? Hello! Our company is currently preparing a fantasy-themed online movie. We've been following you, Ms. Ling Qingxue, and Ms. Ye Meier for a long time! We feel that the three of you have a very suitable temperament and image for several important roles in our movie! We wonder if any of you would be interested in participating in the filming?"

Making a movie?!

Zhang Shaozhong's first reaction was that it was a scam!

One of them cultivates immortality, the other cultivates demonic arts, plus this half-baked chaotic body, and they're going to make a fantasy movie?

Isn't this like wielding a big sword in front of Guan Yu?

But he still patiently listened to the other party's introduction.

It turns out that what the other party was attracted to was the unique "fantasy" and "ethereal" atmosphere of their live stream, especially Ling Qingxue's natural classical charm and Ye Meier's highly aggressive allure, which they felt was more captivating than many professional actors.

Moreover, the fee offered by the other party was quite considerable. Although it was not an exorbitant amount, it was definitely a huge sum of money for them, who currently rely mainly on live streaming and sporadic consulting services!

Zhang Shao was tempted.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately convened a meeting with the two bigwigs.

"Filming?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Meier's eyes lit up. "It's like those TV dramas we watch? That sounds like fun! I've wanted to try it for ages! Maybe I can even get some acting experience and play a demon lord or something!"

Ling Qingxue frowned slightly: "Showing your face in public, playing someone else, wasting your time..."

"Fairy, this is not a waste of time, this is artistic creation!"

Zhang Shaozhong quickly explained, "Besides, the pay is very high! Enough for us to buy a bigger house and improve our lives! Moreover, filming a fantasy drama is exactly what we're good at, isn't it? Maybe we can even give the crew some pointers on which spell gestures and formation arrangements are more in line with 'ancient customs'!"

That last sentence seemed to touch Ling Qingxue's heart.

She has always been critical of the exaggerated and unrealistic "immortal magic" depicted in movies and TV dramas. If she could take this opportunity to "set things right," it seems... not bad at all?

Seeing that Ling Qingxue's attitude was softening, Zhang Shaozhong pressed on, "Then shall we make contact and see? If the script is too bad, or if there are any unreasonable demands, we can refuse later!"

Ultimately, the three reached an agreement to further contact the film and television company.

Zhang Shaozhong replied to Planner Liu and arranged a time to meet and discuss the matter in detail.

He could almost see piles of money beckoning to him, and even the frustration he had felt from being tormented by the "battlefield" these past few days had dissipated considerably.

Braving the entertainment industry with two big shots?

Although it sounds outrageous, given how bizarre their combination is, it doesn't seem impossible.

New challenges and fun seem to be on the horizon!

Zhang Shaozhong just hopes that these two big shots won't start arguing for some strange reason on set... He's already getting a headache in advance.
