Chapter 239 The Movie King (Part 10)
"What about the demon you encountered?" the leader asked again.
Before the young man could speak, Lu Lingjun interrupted him: "Demon, let's go."
The leader was stunned, not expecting this to happen. Just as he was about to ask which way they ran, he heard the old Taoist priest behind him say.
"Is the cat demon that this gentleman is holding?"
The Taoist was referring to Gu Yanjing.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Gu Yan nodded in surprise.
The other law enforcement officers were taken aback, looking at the little creature that Gu Yanjing was holding, whose demonic power was weak.
It really is a demon; they almost misjudged it just now.
After the old man made things clear, he spoke in a very pretentious manner. The leader understood, took out his identification, and spoke in a forceful tone.
"Sir, all the troublemaking demons need to be taken away by us. Furthermore, the fact that you two were able to kill this little cat demon unharmed suggests you are no ordinary people. We may need you two to come with us."
Lu Lingjun took another step back.
"Come closer, His Majesty is about to show off."
The young man paused, then asked, "Who?"
"Your brother Gu, in this world, people who try to show off in front of him basically don't even have a chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation." Lu Lingjun stood a few steps away with a smile, his expression calm.
Seeing Lu Lingjun's appearance, the young man inexplicably felt that Gu Yanjing's side was in too much danger, so he immediately followed Lu Lingjun and retreated.
The people from the Demon Management Bureau saw it and kept calling out to the young man, "He's not human either, it's too dangerous, sir, please come quickly."
Gu Yanjing shook his head: "This kitten is my pet, and I don't have time to go with you. My fish is getting cold."
Gu Yanjing was completely baffled by what he said.
But everyone saw the huge, crimson phantom of the Vermilion Bird behind him.
It is a phantom image of the mythical beast Vermilion Bird.
Everyone was startled, instantly overwhelmed by the aura emanating from the Vermilion Bird, making it difficult to breathe.
"I'm giving you two choices: either let me go back to eat fish, or I'll kill you."
There was a stunningly beautiful woman there, smiling gently, yet they felt an unsettling chill.
The old man was the first to react, and immediately bowed and said, "It is this old man who has disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive us, Your Majesty. We will leave now."
As he spoke, he told the men to run away quickly.
The Vermilion Bird, a legendary creature associated with slaughter and known for its ferocious nature, could crush them as easily as crushing an ant. If they still didn't know what was good for them, they were simply courting death.
"Oh right, let's deal with this car." Gu Yanjing suddenly remembered as he watched the group of people's backs.
The truck was blocking their way.
The old man glanced at it and immediately assigned someone to drive Gu Yanjing's car away.
The little orange cat looked at its car with tearful eyes, tears of regret streaming down its face.
Oh no, not only did I not get any money, I also lost my car.
Gu Yanjing, holding the orange cat's leash, waved to Lu Lingjun and the young man, saying, "Let's go back."
The group of people inside the room are probably going to explode around this time.
After thinking for a moment, the old man mustered his courage and said, "When does Your Majesty the Vermilion Bird have time? May we register Your Majesty the Vermilion Bird and the person beside you?"
Gu Yan was taken aback: "Register what?"
The old man bent down and explained, "It's like this: the demon race discovered this plane very early on, and many of them had already reached a state of harmonious coexistence. Furthermore, every non-human needs to register with the Demon Management Bureau, and the information is published online to ensure its oversight."
The old man spoke these words with trembling hands, fearing that the Vermilion Bird might annihilate them if it became displeased. However, the presence of such an ancient and ferocious beast as the Vermilion Bird was truly unsettling.
"Is this the rule of your world?" Gu Yanjing was not angry, but looked at the old man.
"Yes." The old man bent down even deeper.
"Okay, come with me now. I'll register you after we finish eating." Gu Yanjing nodded.
It just so happens that Tuntian also needs to register.
The rule of whichever plane you are in is not very reliable, but Gu Yanjing is now in a good mood because he has eaten and drunk his fill and received a little pet.
It wouldn't hurt to cooperate.
The old man was very grateful upon hearing this: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Vermilion Bird."
The young man and the driver were completely bewildered the whole time.
What was that old man's name again, Brother Gu?
Vermilion Bird?
His Majesty?
Is it the one recorded in his history textbook?
Damn, this world is getting a bit surreal.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the villa. However, while only two cars had gone out earlier, five cars had returned. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Gu Yanjing had gone out for half a day not only to buy daily necessities but also to buy cars.
Lu Lingjun carried the packaged fish for Gu Yanjing, and they returned to the villa together.
There were quite a few people, and the commotion was considerable. The director had already seen the commotion from inside the microphone, but Gu Yanjing had turned off his microphone beforehand, so they didn't hear anything and didn't know what had happened.
At the entrance, before entering the filming area, the people from the Demon Management Bureau explained the situation to the director before we entered the filming area.
Gu Yanjing's return was clearly welcomed by the group, except for He Zigui and Liu Tingting, of course.
He Zigui still couldn't understand why Gu Yanjing, who had loved him to death in his previous life, had severed ties with him this time and become unfathomable.
Nan Wan'er, who had shared hardships with him in his past life, was now avoiding him like the plague. In fact, she had already married someone else and hastily announced her marriage, leaving him no chance at all.
He was clearly willing to give her half of his heart, so why is she still not satisfied?
Are all women this greedy, wanting everything?
"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, I smell something delicious! What goodies did you bring?" Zheng Wei ran up to Gu Yanjing quickly, his mouth practically watering.
At this point, don't say things like "the celebrity can't eat this" or "the celebrity can't eat that," because they're about to explode.
The crowd swarmed around them like hungry wolves.
Gu Yanjing asked Lu Lingjun to distribute the fish, and also asked a few people to clean up the table full of poisonous things before they all sat down to eat.
The old Taoist priest and the others remained quietly waiting to the side, showing no sign of urgency or urging.
Even the director couldn't stand it anymore.
"Should I go and call Brother Gu over for you?"
The old Taoist priest glanced at the director casually: "Isn't it good to be alive? Why are you cutting in line?"
Director: ......Hehehe, you seem to be quite the addict on Douyin, you even know all the latest trending memes.
At the dinner table, Liu Tingting looked at the table full of fish, and moved her chair unhappily, making a loud noise that seemed quite abrupt in the quiet restaurant.
"I hate eating fish the most. I always get a fish bone stuck in my throat when I eat fish. Zigui, can you help me pick out the fish bone?"
Liu Tingting sat next to He Zigui, glanced at Gu Yanjing, and spoke in a very shrewish tone.
Before He Zigui could speak, Gu Yanjing had already said, "Get out of here."
He Zigui's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
He didn't expect that Gu Yanjing would directly break off relations with them.
Before he could get an answer, Liu Tingting had already slammed down her chopsticks, unable to contain herself: "If I don't want to eat it, I don't want to eat it. Who cares?"
As she spoke, she reached out to pull He Zigui away with her.
"The literal meaning, you can't understand human language?" Gu Yanjing scoffed lightly.
"This dinner was bought with funds jointly provided by the production team, why can't we eat it?" He Zigui grabbed Liu Tingting and tried to appease her.
"Who said this was paid by the production team? The production team only has a few dollars. This table of fish alone cost over eight hundred." Lu Lingjun kicked the little orange cat nestled at Gu Yanjing's feet, gesturing for him to sit in Liu Tingting's seat.
There were only ten seats to begin with, but after Liu Tingting and He Zigui sat down, there was no room left for the little orange cat.
It's good that Liu Tingting is gone.
Liu Tingting and He Zigui were awkwardly at a loss for words when suddenly a chubby little orange cat appeared on the seat behind Liu Tingting.
"Ah, where did this dead cat come from!" Liu Tingting was startled and rushed straight into He Zigui's arms.
Who is this little orange cat? A werewolf who dared to rob His Majesty Suzaku all by himself in a big pickup truck. Although he was eventually subdued and brought back as a pet.
But even a big orange cat like him has his pride, you know. Not just anyone can call him a dead cat.
"Who are you calling a dead cat? You stinky human, your heart is black, you green tea bitch, you white lotus, you're so ugly."
The little orange cat instantly bristled, leaping up and scratching Liu Tingting's thigh, while speaking in a human voice.
Everyone at the table was shocked; they never expected that this chubby little orange cat was actually a monster.
Liu Tingting was so frightened that she screamed and hid in He Zigui's arms, crying loudly.
Nan Wan'er silently gave the little orange cat a thumbs up: "Well done."
Others: ...No, sis, this is a demon! How come you're so happy?
Nan Wan'er: My beastly husband is sleeping next to me. He's just a little orange cat. No big deal. You want to be a *? I'm someone who's rolled around in piles of shit with zombies. Those are the days I don't want to look back on.
"Tch, coward, you're so noisy." Now that the little orange cat had someone backing it up and protecting it, it wasn't scared at all. It transformed into a teenager and swaggered away from the crying Liu Tingting.
Turning her head, she fawned over Gu Yanjing and placed a piece of the freshest fish from its belly on his plate: "Your Majesty, please eat some fish."
Lu Lingjun glanced at the little orange cat and grasped Gu Yanjing's hand: "I think if we're going to keep a pet, we have to get one that's spayed or neutered."
The little orange cat's smug expression froze instantly, and it changed its face in a second, bursting into tears. It was more like an actor than Gu Yanjing: "Your Majesty, let's talk this out. My family has really only had one son for nine generations. If I am neutered, the family line will end, Your Majesty."
Gu Yanjing was silent for a moment: "You told me before that you were the only son in three generations."
The little orange cat's crying scene froze instantly, and it even accidentally hiccuped: "Really? Then maybe I misspoke."
The young master wiped his face with his sleeve very seriously, as if he were doing something important.
"The acting was good. I'll get you a script later, teach him the art of transformation, and have him act in your place to earn money?" Lu Lingjun rarely brought up the sterilization issue again, but instead praised him.
It's a good thing if we can get rid of them.
"Hmm, it's not bad, but it depends on his aptitude. If he can't learn the transformation technique..." Gu Yanjing seemed to remember something and glanced at the little orange cat.
Lu Lingjun was the quickest: "If you can't learn it, get sterilized."
The little orange cat felt its fur standing on end in an instant; this is an animal's instinctive reaction to sensing a stronger opponent.
"I can do it. Your Majesty, I really can. I have great talent. My mother says I'm the most talented genius in the cat race in nearly a thousand years." The little orange cat immediately raised its cute paws to show that it could do it.
After all, it's not just for his testicles, but also for his life.
Liu Tingting and He Zigui were embarrassed and ignored, so they had to go up by themselves. No one dared to ask where the money came from. The meal was eaten very quickly and in a very oppressive atmosphere.
After finishing her meal, Bai Yu couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp. Then, remembering that there was a big shot at the table, she looked at Gu Yanjing with extreme fear.
But Gu Yanjing calmly picked at the bean sprouts in his bowl. He didn't like bean sprouts and gave them all to Lu Lingjun.
Lu Lingjun didn't like eating them either, but the bean sprouts given by his Daoist partner were bound to have their own special aura, so he ate them all up.
"Brother Gu, why does the little orange cat call you Your Majesty?" Bai Yu asked Gu Yanjing with curiosity, mustering her courage.
"Because I am the Southern Emperor of the Heavenly Realm." Gu Yanjing calmly picked up a piece of fish, but it had too many bones, so he disdainfully threw it into Lu Lingjun's bowl.
Lu Lingjun understood, removed the fish bones from his bowl, and put them back in his bowl.
"Then are you a deity?" Bai Yu's eyes lit up.
Holy crap, this is amazing.
The Zheng Wei couple, who were standing nearby, also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
"No, I should be considered a ferocious beast." Gu Yan shook his head in surprise.
The old Taoist priest said quietly from the side, "The Vermilion Bird Emperor of the South is a ferocious beast that governs killing and war, and is also a celestial being."
They can only be treated with deference by those who are powerful.
"Is it really that amazing, Brother Gu? No, Your Majesty, what do you think of me? Do I have the aptitude for cultivating immortality? I'd like to become your disciple."
Bai Yu's expression instantly changed from disdain to starry-eyed disdain.
There's probably no one in this world who doesn't dream of wearing white and flying on a sword.
"**Forget about it, just wait to die." Gu Yanjing refused without even looking at him.
Bai Yu: "Waaah."
After dinner, the atmosphere in the room finally became a little more lively. The little orange cat turned back into a cat, fluttering around Gu Yanjing's feet. Sometimes, when he wasn't paying attention, Lu Lingjun would step on him a few times, making him grit his teeth in pain. However, he couldn't beat the other party, so he didn't dare to say anything.
He was afraid that Lu Lingjun would just say he wanted sterilization.
This man seems to have a special fondness for other people's testicles.
Lu Lingjun: I'm not your ***, don't talk nonsense. I just can't stand seeing Jiaojiao with any other male besides myself.
After Gu Yanjing finished drinking his tea on the sofa, he finally called the old Taoist priest over.
The director immediately instructed the staff to turn off the equipment, ending today's filming, and then left the villa.
Several guests also quietly planned to go upstairs.
However, looking at Nan Wan'er who was standing still, he asked, "Wan'er, aren't you and your husband going up?"
“We’re not going up, we need to register too.” Nan Wan’er shook her head and smiled very cutely.
