Chapter 648: Chapter 648
However, the truth was that all these were just nonsense, Bai Ze was not bound by the rules and could not only affect himself but also others.
The reason he didn’t help Princess Yu Yun change was simply because he wanted to see more of her distressed look, which he found amusing.
Princess Yu Yun’s eyebrows were knit together, and she raised her hand to touch her face, focusing on the beard below her nose, and said sadly, "When can I revert to my female identity, I was originally a woman after all!"
Bai Ze coughed lightly and explained, "Logically speaking, leaves do not have the concept of sex, so you could be male or female."
Princess Yu Yun looked at him incredulously and took a few steps back, "You actually want me to become a genderless species!"
He was clearly stating the facts, but wait, why did he feel a tinge of guilt?
Princess Yu Yun turned her head away and stormed out of the cabin, angry!
The scene shifted, and Princess Yu Yun entered a forest, holding a branch in her hand and occasionally hitting the flowers, plants and trees in the forest, feeling gloomy.
In post-production, this scene would be matched with Princess Yu Yun’s inner thoughts, roughly meaning "The Great Emperor is so hateful". Right now, He Jinxia just needed to exaggerate the corresponding expressions.
Once this scene was finished, He Jinxia could rest for the afternoon, with the next shoot scheduled for the evening.
In the evening, she was filming a scene where it was getting dark, and Princess Yu Yun got lost, accidentally wandering into the Forbidden Forest and waking the lurking demons and the monsters of the Mirror World.
She would go through a fierce battle, using soul weapons in this fight.
Though Princess Yu Yun was quite weak, the soul weapon in her hand was powerful. However, due to her low mana, she was unable to harness the weapon’s full strength, so she could only stalemate with one demon and two monsters.
As more monsters from the Mirror World emerged, Princess Yu Yun found herself at a disadvantage.
Thanks to the deterrence of the soul weapon, Princess Yu Yun managed to hold on until Bai Ze arrived.
He Jinxia looked down at the script and recalled the fighting scenes in her mind for the evening, deciding to stay with the crew and watch how the other actors performed.
The hotel was some distance from the crew and a round-trip would take an hour’s drive. Since she had to shoot at the crew location in the evening anyway, Jinxia decided to stay put.
Having some rare downtime in the afternoon, Cheng Xiaohua took the opportunity to thoroughly nourish He Jinxia’s body.
All afternoon, she gave her an unending supply of soups and broths, all to treat a cold and at the same time clear heat and detoxify.
This made He Jinxia reassess Sister Xiao Hua’s capabilities a few notches higher.
Since there was no place in the crew to cook, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all outsourced to other businesses to prepare and deliver. He Jinxia had no idea where Sister Xiao Hua found so many soups and broths for her to drink.
According to Sister Xiao Hua, she personally bought the ingredients and brewed the broths herself, which made He Jinxia even more curious. When she asked where it was done, Sister Xiao Hua would mysteriously reply, "I cannot say, I cannot say." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIꜰire.net
He Jinxia shook her head with a smile and did not persist in asking.
Director Liu was shooting the parts with other actors, and the plot was related to Princess Yu Yun and Bai Ze entering the Mirror World later on, covering two large scenes.
One of the large scenes depicted the Peony Fairy, who had tricked Princess Yu Yun into the Mirror World, discovering that Emperor Qingmu had also been pulled into the replicated Reincarnation Mirror, and she hurriedly went to seek advice from Fairy Yuan Miao on what to do.
Another major scene is the arrival of Princess Yu Yun, the second female BOSS of the play, in the Qingmu Emperor Palace, seeking Bai Ze.
Unable to find Bai Ze, Princess Yu Yun then went to the Peony Fairy’s palace and accidentally encountered Peony Fairy discussing with Fairy Yuan Miao how to get Emperor Bai Ze out using a replica of the Reincarnation Mirror.
Upon hearing this, Princess Yu Yun was enraged and fiercely scolded Peony Fairy.
For the afternoon’s shoot, the highlight was in the following scene, but Director Liu decided to start with something simple.
In "Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows," Fairy Yuan Miao is the good friend of the Peony Fairy and is also known in Heaven as the "fortune-telling fairy."
She can pry into the secrets of fate, learn the future direction of the world, and even choose to prophesy details from certain events, which is to says she can see things that will happen in the future.
The vast river of destiny is unpredictable; every small change in detail can lead to a different outcome of events. What Fairy Yuan Miao can see are merely the most likely occurrences, but these are not guaranteed to happen.
No one can know the true direction of the future, nor can anyone know when the course of events will quietly shift.
According to Fairy Yuan Miao, this is because the secrets of Heaven must not be revealed, and until the dust settles, no one can guess the outcome.
With a profound understanding of the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation Skill, Fairy Yuan Miao also summarized a few truths about fate—
The secrets of Heaven can be glimpsed, but not believed.
The secrets of Heaven can be revealed, but not taken seriously.
The secrets of Heaven can bring infinite benefits, but also lead to destruction.
Peony Fairy once wanted to learn Fairy Yuan Miao’s Heavenly Mechanism Calculation Skill, and Yuan Miao generously provided the outline.
It was this outline, which only required rote memorization, that caused Peony Fairy to faint upon reading and not wake up for three days and nights.
Upon waking, the first thing Fairy Yuan Miao asked Peony Fairy was what she had learned from it.
Peony Fairy thought carefully, then shook her head; her mind was a blank, and she could think of nothing.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yuan Miao was not surprised and simply said, "You have no destiny with the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation Skill, do not force it, trying to learn forcefully will only damage your foundation."
After that, Peony Fairy completely gave up the idea of learning the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation Skill. Such a profound practice was not for an ordinary fairy like her to master.
She, better off being a Flower Fairy, would spend her days leisurely, listening to music, watching plays, brewing wine, living a carefree and joyous life.
As the clapperboard sounded, the wire rig attached to Peony Fairy lifted her into the air. The actress was suspended, her expression anxious as she gestured forward with her arm, indicating an increase in speed.
In post-production, thick clouds will be added beneath Peony Fairy’s feet, giving the impression of movement.
But during the actual filming on the set, her body was static, with the only movement coming from her hand gestures.
The actress playing Peony Fairy is a popular female singer, who took on acting for a fresh experience.
Those familiar with the singer knew she had always wanted to try acting, not necessarily as a lead role, but just to enjoy the process. Unfortunately, opportunities had been hard to come by.
