Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...
Seeing that Old Man Chai was emotionally agitated, Shang Lin was worried that it might affect his health, so he quickly changed the subject, "Godfather, go and rest. You must be tired from cooking a whole table of food tonight."
Their conversation had gotten a bit heavy, but Old Man Chai still smiled and said, "If I had done it all by myself, I would have been exhausted, but Xiao She has been helping me the whole time, so I'm not tired. But I'm going to rest now, so you won't worry about me if I'm not feeling well."
Seeing that Old Man Chai was so cooperative, Shang Lin immediately smiled and said, "Godfather is right."
Old Man Chai went to the bathroom to wash up before going to rest. The atmosphere was relaxed and the two were quite open with each other. However, when the topic of Junior Sister and Shang Lin came up, neither of them felt good.
As soon as Old Man Chai left, She Jinxing asked Shang Lin, "Is Sect Leader hungry?"
Shang Lin subconsciously touched her stomach. "I'm not hungry, just sleepy. I'm going to sleep too."
Despite what Shang Lin said, she didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, she leaned against the headboard and browsed She Jinxing's account. On one hand, she wanted to distract herself and relieve her depressed mood, and on the other hand, she wanted to see the short stories Xing Tian was telling.
Since She Jinxing started posting videos, Shang Lin has only watched one episode, the first one, in which he was wearing the armor of an ancient general, a metal mask, and wielding a long spear.
Although the video is short, it is imposing. It is unknown whether She Jinxing has inherited Ji Xiaoyao's true skills or whether he has also fought on ancient battlefields. In any case, he has shown the aura of an ancient general.
The video's traffic wasn't high to begin with, but now the data is so good that Shang Lin almost thought he was seeing things. It's clear that Xing Tian has been managing She Jinxing's account very well during this period.
The second video shows She Jinxing wielding a long sword. This time, he is not wearing the armor of a general, but in the official robes of an ancient military officer. He is also wearing a mask, but this time only the lower half of his face is visible.
The subsequent videos were more casual, and Xing Tian indeed showed off his chest, abs, and biceps, but didn't reveal anything else. Shang Lin even looked at the comments section and thought, "What a guy."
Some screamed, some expressed envy and jealousy, and some directly showed off their pectoral muscles, abs, and biceps. It was truly a mixed bag, with all sorts of reactions. Shang Lin was completely bewildered and genuinely couldn't understand the feelings of the netizens. He could almost picture it himself.
To be precise, the style alternated between everyday wear and kung fu, and the viewership remained stable, consistently increasing. Then, around some episode, they switched to ancient general costumes and masks, but...
The "general" in the video didn't brandish weapons; instead, he adopted a gentle and conciliatory persona. Shang Lin instinctively knew that this general was Chi Xie. He never expected that the little scorpion had this side to him!
Then Hu Tangdi also appeared, and the story of the hero and the beauty began to unfold. As Shang Lin watched, he wondered why it seemed a bit like Ji Xiaoyao and Qiu Niang's past. Or was it that Xing Tian filmed according to every detail they had mentioned?
Well, whatever, as long as the traffic is good, that's fine. And Shang Lin's attention has been successfully diverted. However, he still couldn't help but call Xing Tian, "Your video is pretty good. Did you hire some professionals?"
Xing Tian didn't expect the sect leader to still be awake so late, it wasn't school time, but he still answered truthfully, "Yes, since we've done it, we should do it well, otherwise the money will have been wasted."
"Okay, then keep up the good work." After saying that, Shang Lin yawned and said, "Good night."
"Wait a minute." Xing Tian was getting anxious. "It's so late at night, and the sect leader is calling me and hanging up after only a couple of sentences?"
Shang Lin was very puzzled. "I've said everything I needed to say. Why can't we hang up? Besides, we're not a lovey-dovey couple who talk on the phone all the time."
Xing Tian was taken aback. "Sect Master, has your Chinese language score dropped? What kind of analogy is that?"
Shang Lin yawned again. "I'm sleepy, my brain is all foggy, what kind of analogy can I come up with? If you don't hang up the phone, I don't know what else I can say, let alone an even more exaggerated analogy."
Xing Tian quickly conceded, "Okay, goodnight, Sect Master."
The phone was quickly disconnected, and Shang Lin was still a little stunned. But he subconsciously put the phone aside and fell asleep. Although his emotional fluctuations were not as great as Old Man Chai's, he had taken an exam all day. How could he not be tired?
Seeing that Shang Lin was asleep but hadn't even turned off the light, She Jinxing knew he was really tired, so he turned off the light and went into the Dragon Spirit Tower. There was no other way; the current house was too small, and it would be really inconvenient for him to stay outside. In fact, it wasn't suitable to be anywhere.
If it were in Shang Lin's bedroom, She Jinxing was worried that it would disturb his rest. Moreover, the bedroom was small and the bed was small, so he could only sit on the floor to meditate and rest. Wouldn't the sect leader be shocked if he got up at night and saw this?
Well, their sect leader is brave and won't be scared, but with someone as big as me sitting there, the sect leader won't have a way to go outside. If I were outside, it would be Old Man Chai who would be frightened.
So every night, She Jinxing could only enter the Dragon Spirit Tower from Shang Lin's bedroom, and then come out early the next morning to make breakfast. But today, as soon as he entered the tower, he saw his master poking the little turtle.
In that instant, She Jinxing felt that his master was having too much free time. The days of eating snacks and scrolling through his phone, or eating fruit and scrolling through his phone, were over. He couldn't find anything else that interested him for the time being.
In fact, this situation is not surprising for demon cultivators with long lifespans, let alone the ancient dragon gods and the divine lords of tower spirits, for whom this situation would be even more serious.
Because he was knowledgeable and experienced in his previous life, and his cultivation was extraordinary, unlike ordinary demon cultivators who had to cultivate diligently almost every day, he naturally had a lot of free time.
Now that he's a tower spirit, he doesn't need to cultivate anymore. He just needs to level up automatically based on how much Shang Lin's cultivation can improve. So he basically has nothing to do, but there are very few things he's not interested in.
But teasing Greenie was better than poking that inanimate object, so She Jinxing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What is Master doing?"
The deity looked up at She Jinxing and asked with a look of disgust, "You didn't even notice something so obvious? Are you taking care of Shang Lin every day and causing his IQ to drop?"
She Jinxing smiled helplessly, "Does Master know that's not what I meant?"
The deity seemed intent on arguing with She Jinxing, "Then what do you mean? I'm so old, how would I understand the way you young people talk?"
She Jinxing, “…”
He instinctively reached for Lü Yao, wanting to ask his master what was going on? Was it a sign of early-onset dementia? But then he thought about Lü Yao's limited communication skills...
