Xu Yang felt a sudden weakness in his calves. Instinctively, he wanted to cry out, but Feng Chengyuan covered his mouth with a backhand.
Yu Nian lowered her voice and said, "Walking without touching the ground with the heels. Obviously, she's possessed. Where's Yuan Qian's assistant?"
Xu Yang pointed tremulously at the pale - faced girl beside him.
The girl looked only in her twenties. At this moment, she stared blankly at Yuan Qian's departing back. "Possessed...? Then what on earth have I been getting along with day and night all this time?"
Yu Nian patted her on the back reassuringly. "Since you've been fine all this time, that thing is obviously after Yuan Qian. You just need to tell me if she's had any abnormal behavior recently."
Yu Nian's voice was soft, but somehow it gave people a sense of security. The girl thought carefully. "Yuan Qian has had an unusually good appetite recently. In the past, to control her weight, she never touched any meat. But since the incident... she almost eats meat at every meal, especially chicken. She seems to never get enough. She can eat three or four chickens in one meal by herself!"
Yu Nian nodded thoughtfully and then turned to Xu Yang. "So many people have put their efforts into this movie. Isn't it a pity to just give up like this? Director Xu, why don't you shoot the remaining scenes overnight?"
Seeing Yu Nian acting so authoritatively, Xu Yang was a bit unhappy. He couldn't help but say, "It's easy for you to say. Do you know how much manpower and material resources a scene costs?"
Feng Chengyuan said calmly beside him, "Director Xu, if I remember correctly, the production team is currently spending the money of Feng Group, right?"
Xu Yang stiffened. He wanted to refute but didn't dare. He gritted his teeth secretly. He'd just play the role of a coward this once. Who made Feng Chengyuan rich?!
Yu Nian turned to Feng Chengyuan. "I also need an incense burner, two taels of sandalwood, a peach - wood sword, and prepare a bottle of white wine. The stronger, the better."
Feng Chengyuan replied with an okay and dialed the phone to ask Chen Xian to prepare everything properly.
Seeing Xu Yang still standing there blankly, he frowned slightly. "Director Xu, why aren't you getting ready?"
Only then did Xu Yang react. While being shocked, he felt like crying without tears. "Mr. Feng, is what Yu Nian said reliable?"
Feng Chengyuan looked at Yu Nian's departing back. "Don't you trust her?"
Seeing there was hope, Xu Yang nodded quickly. "No matter how capable she is, she's just a young girl. How about we find some real experts to handle this as soon as possible..."
Before he could finish, Feng Chengyuan had already followed Yu Nian. "But I trust her."
The lights in the studio came on again. Xu Yang looked at the woman who was glaring at him and said tremblingly, "Yuan... Qian, this is your last scene. Please cooperate. We'll wrap up after this."
Yuan Qian sneered. "You old geezer. You're really persistent. The production team is on the verge of collapse, and you still want to shoot? You're really obsessed with money!"
Xu Yang's face turned black. He was a well - known figure in the entertainment industry. Which actor would dare to talk to him like this? But at the moment, fear outweighed anger. He helplessly turned to look at Feng Chengyuan, who nodded seriously.
Xu Yang sighed deeply. He couldn't afford to offend anyone. He might as well just go all out!
"Don't be angry. This scene is very easy. You just need to eat. See for yourself."
Yuan Qian scoffed, but when she turned her head, she suddenly stopped. A faint green light shone in her eyes.
On a round table, there were all kinds of delicious dishes. Yu Nian stepped forward with a smiling face and announced the names of the dishes. "Dezhou Braised Chicken, Spiced Stewed Chicken, Chestnut - Simmered Chicken, Eight - Treasures Gourd Chicken, Sliced Hetian Chicken!"
Yuan Qian swallowed hard. She walked uncontrollably towards the round table, rolled up her sleeves, and started eating.
The crew members had been cleared out. Only a cameraman was left. He had been filming dutifully at first, but after seeing Yuan Qian's way of eating, he was completely stunned.
Yuan Qian ate very fast. In the blink of an eye, she had finished a chicken. Her belly bulged visibly, but she was like a glutton who never knew satiety. She was about to burst but still kept stuffing chicken legs into her mouth. When she got choked, she casually picked up the strong white wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
This scene would make anyone feel cold. But Yu Nian moved a chair and sat next to Yuan Qian. She lit the sandalwood and watched her calmly.
The thing on Yuan Qian was different from ordinary evil spirits. It was a fox demon with some real skills. The reason Yu Nian treated it with good food, wine, and sandalwood was that it was really not easy for animals to cultivate. There were very few in the world that could survive so many thunder tribulations.
Moreover, it hadn't killed anyone. If it could leave on its own, it would be a happy ending for everyone.
After being full of food and wine, Yuan Qian suddenly sat on the chair in a standard cross - legged position. The corners of her mouth curled up, her eyes narrowed into slits, and her body swayed back and forth.
Xu Yang didn't know when he had come behind Yu Nian. He asked tremblingly, "What is she doing?"
Yu Nian's eyes darkened. She quietly dipped in cinnabar. "A shaman is getting possessed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Qian suddenly let out a shrill scream. She was smiling, but tears were streaming down her face like a string of beads. At this moment, she looked at Yu Nian and Xu Yang in horror. "Save me..."
Yu Nian squinted her eyes. "If you want to find a shaman disciple, it has to be a mutual agreement. Forcing someone like this is no different from an evil spirit that harms people."
Yuan Qian suddenly changed her expression. "Shut up! You insignificant little girl. What do you know? She owes me this! Do you really think a little food can send me away? You're dreaming!"
After saying that, a red mist suddenly rushed towards Yu Nian. Yuan Qian, who was originally sitting on the chair, let out a whimper and instantly fainted limply.
A two - person - tall red fox leaped in front of Yu Nian. The huge size of the fox and Yu Nian formed a sharp contrast. Its huge claws with a gust of wind suddenly attacked Yu Nian, but Yu Nian didn't dodge at all. The fox demon sneered in its heart. It thought she was so powerful, but she was just a coward. It had only revealed its true form, and she was already scared like this!
Just as the gust of wind was approaching, Yu Nian grabbed Xu Yang, who was almost scared to faint, and jumped diagonally backward, perfectly avoiding the fox demon's sharp claws.
The fox demon was a bit surprised. How could this seemingly weak woman dodge its attack so calmly?
It must be a coincidence! It was all because of Yuan Qian, this human, who had hurt it! Otherwise, with its original strength, killing Yu Nian would be as easy as crushing an ant!
Thinking of this, its strange - colored pupils instantly darkened, and it launched a more violent attack on Yu Nian. Its huge tail suddenly wrapped around Yu Nian and was about to throw her heavily to the ground.
Seeing Yu Nian not struggling at all like a broken - string kite, Feng Chengyuan's breath stopped for a moment.
He was always calm and used to planning step by step, but at this moment, he felt his mind go blank.
He rushed in front of the fox demon suddenly and stared coldly at this huge creature. "I have the furnace physique. It's better to catch me than her!"
The fox demon squinted its eyes. After a brief moment of surprise, it shifted its gaze. "So what if you're a furnace? I'm not interested in men."
Yu Nian, who had her head down originally, raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. She then remembered what the little ghost in the hotel had said about the red - dressed female demon. "You... aren't you a female fox?"
As she said this, she clearly felt the air pressure around the fox demon drop. Its fur stood on end, and it roared, "I'm male!!!"
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I was still thinking about being gentle with you." Yu Nian's dull voice came slowly.
The fox demon snorted coldly. The next second, a heart - wrenching pain came from the end of its tail. A peach - wood sword stained with cinnabar was deeply inserted into its tail, and Yu Nian, who had been wrapped by it, had somehow jumped to the ground.
The fox demon was shocked. It wanted to run away, but several talisman papers hit its body. It let out a whimper and couldn't support itself. It fell to the ground and lost all its momentum.
The fox demon stared fixedly at Yu Nian. It wasn't a newly - emerged little demon but a great demon that had cultivated for hundreds of years. It had encountered countless Taoist priests, but no one had ever been able to really hurt it. Unless the sword in Yu Nian's hand was the long - lost demon - slaying sword. Thinking of this, it felt even more unwilling. "You're a despicable person. You won by unfair means. Where did you get this demon - slaying sword?"
Yu Nian nimbly jumped in front of it and gently patted the dust on the corner of her clothes from the fight. "Who says only high - level magical tools can cause high damage? The only demon - slaying sword in existence is enshrined on Fengming Mountain. The one in your tail is just an ordinary peach - wood sword."
