Chapter 647: Chapter 647

At this moment, He Jinxia found both Sister Xiao Hua and the chicken wing in her hand particularly bothersome.

In the afternoon, He Jinxia’s scenes were slightly less intensive, and not only her scenes were being filmed then, other actors finally got a few segments too.

Because Director Liu’s standards were very high, he planned to direct every scene personally, not intending to delegate any filming to the assistant director, hence even the supporting roles were shot by Director Liu.

The scenes shot in the afternoon continued from those in the morning.

Within the Mirror World, Yu Jing obtained soul weapons, and because the soul weapons suddenly revealed their true form, it caused fluctuations in the rules of the Mirror World. Originally, Bai Ze’s mana would not have been able to break the rules until tomorrow, but with the aid of the soul weapons, Bai Ze seized this opportunity to shatter the power of the rules, henceforth no longer affected by them.

Therefore, by the time Yu Jing put away the soul weapons, Bai Ze had already assumed male attire.

Yu Jing, flustered by the commotion caused by the soul weapons’ emergence, didn’t notice at first; it wasn’t until Bai Ze took her back to the small wooden cabin they stayed in the previous night that Yu Jing realized Bai Ze was dressed differently.

In the shot, He Jinxia, portraying Yu Jing, held up her arm, observing the bracelet the soul weapons had transformed into, muttering, "How do I turn this bracelet into a weapon? This chain is too peculiar; I can’t take it off."

Subsequently, to remove the bracelet, Yu Jing tried several methods, each method only a few seconds of screen time, to be sped up in post-production editing.

After Yu Jing had exhausted all methods without being able to remove the bracelet or transform it into soul weapons, she slumped over the table hopelessly, staring at the bracelet and said:

"Do I really need to threaten you like I did this morning when I put you away for you to come out?"

"Cut! Bai Ze, quickly get ready, it’s your entrance!"

As Director Liu called out, the figure of Qiu Zhenze appeared in the hall where Yu Jing was.

He Jinxia, receiving the prompt, glared at the bracelet in her hand and threatened, "If you don’t come out now, I won’t want you anymore!"

Bai Ze’s expression turned solemn, and he took a few steps forward, "Hold on!"

But by this time, Yu Jing had already finished her line, and under the gaze of both, the bracelet floated out of Yu Jing’s hand and hovered in midair.

The "flying bracelet" scene was also accomplished by a crew member using a transparent string attached to the bracelet.

Every shot was segmented, to be assembled into a coherent sequence only during post-production.

After the scene of the bracelet floating in midair was completed, crew members replaced it with the shiny green sword.

The green sword hung in the air, and at this time, Bai Ze walked up beside Yu Jing, performing a hand gesture, which was meant to seal away the sword.

Qiu Zhenze, portraying Bai Ze—a Great Emperor, therefore his spellcasting movements needed to be swift, steady, and straightforward.

Qiu Zhenze didn’t get it right at first and had to practice several times on the spot before mastering the movement.

Once the movement was perfected, the scene was complete, and the crew took down the suspended green sword.

He Jinxia glanced down at the script, memorized the following lines, gave a signal to the director, and continued filming.

The scenes were relatively simple, without the need for rich emotional outbursts or nuanced expressions, which is why He Jinxia dared to shoot so quickly without taking a break.

The Yu Jing she portrayed turned to look at Bai Ze curiously and asked, "Great Emperor, why did you put it away? I had such a hard time calling it out."

Bai Ze looked at her seriously, "In the future, don’t reveal the soul weapons unless it’s for battle."

Yu Jing paused, "Why?"

Bai Ze, "Soul weapons are rare, and some might covet them upon seeing, which could lead to harm to you."

Jade frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay."

Seemingly remembering something, she said embarrassedly, "Jade was impetuous, Jade doesn’t know how to wield the soul weapons and is still looking for a way!"

Bai Ze smiled gently and looked down at the bracelet in his hand, "Your mana is too weak, you can’t form a contract with a soul weapon yet. Once you get out, train well, and you will be able to control the soul weapons."

"You don’t need to threaten it, since it chose you, it won’t abandon you."

Jade quickly replied, "But I don’t even know how to form a contract with the soul weapons, Great Emperor, won’t you teach me now?"

Bai Ze glanced at her, seeing right through her desire to learn spells!

Jade was particularly interested in practicing martial arts, and sometimes Bai Ze thought that if things continued according to Jade’s character, heaven might one day see the emergence of a Female War God.

While thinking this, Bai Ze still refused her, "The method of forming a contract is in the Scripture Pavilion of the Qingmu Emperor Palace, it’s not some rare thing. Once you’re out of the Mirror World, just look for it and you will find it."

Jade pouted her lips, "I want to learn now though. If I learn earlier, I can control the soul weapons earlier, increase my fighting power earlier, and be safer earlier!"

Bai Ze turned around, his hands clasped behind him as he leisurely said, "Even if I teach you now, you won’t be able to learn. Your mana is insufficient, and rash learning will only lead to backlash, damaging your foundation."

Jade made a face behind his back to express her dissatisfaction.

Who would have thought that the next second, Emperor Qingmu would turn around and look at her.

Jade’s eyes widened in shock, and she quickly patted her mouth to cover her expression, her gaze shifting as she vaguely said, "Hey, why is there a mosquito here, such a big mosquito flying towards my mouth."

Bai Ze gave her a meaningful look and chuckled, "Indeed, there is a very big mosquito."

Jade nodded frantically, "Mhm, mhm!"

When Bai Ze turned his back again, only then did Jade dare to let go of the hand she had on her mouth and began rubbing her face.

The slap just now was too forceful, and it made her face hurt!

As she rubbed her face and walked forward, she suddenly noticed that Bai Ze was wearing men’s clothing. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran in front of him and blocked his way.

"Great Emperor, Great Emperor, why are you wearing men’s clothes?"

"No, no!" Jade quickly shook her head, explaining, "I mean... you’ve changed back to a man’s appearance, no longer affected by the rules of the Mirror World?"

Bai Ze hummed softly.

The light shining in Jade’s eyes grew even more brilliant, as she couldn’t help but grasp his hand, saying, "Then, Great Emperor, can you change me back into a woman?"

Bai Ze looked down at the hand Jade had grabbed.

Following his gaze, Jade understood and immediately let go of his hand, saying embarrassedly, "Hehe, a slip of the hand, a slip of the hand..."

Bai Ze clasped his hands behind his back, lifted his head slightly, and said indifferently, "I cannot."

Jade’s eyes widened in astonishment, immediately asking, "Why not?"

Bai Ze said without changing his expression, "My mana can only affect myself, not others, so I cannot change you."
