The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 33 Bad Character!

Lin Kai walked up to Tang Rou with a smile that he was satisfied the most on his face.

He practiced to smile like that for a long time. Every time he showed the smile, his female fans would be crazy for him.

“Hello, Tang Rou! It’s my honor to cooperate with you.” Lin Kai stretched out his hand.

“Hello!” Although Tang Rou did not like the arrogant Lin Kai, but out of courtesy, she still reached out to shake hands with him.

She had to admit that Lin Kai was indeed very handsome. Lin Kai was very popular in the entertainment industry, and though everyone was criticizing his acting performance, he was still very popular given that one’s appearance mattered the most in this society.

Some netizens teased that Lin Kai’s acting skill was impeccable for he could play ten roles with an unchanged expression.

Tang Rou withdrew her hands as soon as she touched Lin Kai’s hands, which could not be regarded as she was shaking hands with him.

A trace of anger flashed through Lin Kai’s eyes. He thought he had hidden it well.

He had an extremely handsome face. He liked to see his female fans obsessed with him, and every time they saw him, they would scream crazily.

Tang Rou’s attitude toward him was neither cold nor warm, which made him, who was used to be surrounded by admirers, feel very uncomfortable.

“Hey, who are you? Can’t you see that Brother Kai is standing here? Get up quickly and give the seat to Brother Kai. You’re not sensible at all.”

This man who was mean and would lift his little finger when talking was Lin Kai’s agent. He stared at Chu Xun when he spoke.

Chu Xun glanced at him calmly with a smile of disdain at the corner of his mouth. “Give my seat to you? That’s ok. I’m just afraid that nobody could sit firmly in my seat.”

“Brother Chu Xun, let’s go over there. The scenery there is really beautiful. Can you take a few photos for me?” Tang Rou pointed to a lavender field not far away and said.

She didn’t know Chu Xun’s identity, but she knew that Lin Kai could not afford to offend Chu Xun, whom an underworld leader like Chen Hanlong served flatteringly.

She did this not for Lin Kai, but for Director Lu. In this ostentatious entertainment circle, Director Lu was a good-hearted director.

Few directors were willing to do this kind of thankless, not-for-profit work, let alone a famous director like Director Lu.

She didn’t want Director Lu to be too embarrassed.

“Okay!” Chu Xun stood up, glanced at Lin Kai, and then accompanied Tang Rou to take photos in the lavender field.

Lin Kai looked grave. It was rare to see a girl as pure as Tang Rou in the entertainment circle. Lin Kai had slept with countless women, most of whom offered themselves to him, some of whom wanted to draw attention, while sometimes, they wanted to find amusement when the occasion arose for what they needed...

Tang Rou was a quiet, tender, sweet, and lovely girl, and he was itching to get her.

Now it seemed that Tang Rou was not interested in him.

Lin Kai glared at the backs of Tang Rou and Chu Xun with resentment, and his eyes flickered. He sneered and said, “Let’s wait and see.”

“Brother Kai, please sit down.” Lin Kai’s agent frivolously took out a wet towel and wiped where Chu Xun had sat.

Lin Kai was angry. He pushed his agent away rudely and sat down.

“Crack... Plop...”

As soon as Lin Kai’s bottom touched the seat, the chair was suddenly broken. As a result, Lin Kai sat on the ground in the end and felt that his coccygeal vertebra was broken. He immediately sweated on his forehead in pain and grimaced. However, to protect his image as a star, he suppressed the pain.

The staff standing aside burst into laughter without hesitation upon seeing the scene.

“What are you laughing about? What kind of a bad chair you’ve prepared! Can you afford to take the responsibility if Brother Kai breaks his bones?”

The staff couldn’t laugh out any more because the chair was indeed prepared by them. Lin Kai’s agent was right. If Lin Kai really got injured, they would be responsible for it. By then, it was Director Lu who would be in trouble.

“What are you waiting for? Come and lend me a hand quickly.” Lin Kai’s agent couldn’t help Lin Kai up alone, so he shouted at the staff beside loudly.

The staff had wanted to help, but upon they heard these harsh words, none of them went to help them.

Director Lu looked helpless. Others could stand by and neglect Lin Kai, but he couldn’t. He ran to help Lin Kai up with Lin Kai’s agent.

“Come here, Brother Kai, take this seat.”

Lin Kai’s agent sat down on the chair next to them to see if it was stable. After making sure that the chair was fine, he told Lin Kai to sit on it.

“Crack... Plop ...”

As soon as Lin Kai sat down, the chair was broken again. Lin Kai fell down on the ground again.

The difference was that this time, he failed to bear the pain, screamed out, and rubbed his butt in an inelegant way.

Everyone was dumbfounded, including Lin Kai’s agent.

It took them a long time to come to their senses, and their expressions were weird.

“The chair was fine when others sat on it, but when you sat on it, it was broken. You must be a man with terrible characters that even the chair despised you.”

“Brother Chu Xun, it’s you who broke the chair secretly, is it?” Tang Rou tilted her little head and looked at Chu Xun. She did not believe that it was a coincidence.

Chu Xun smiled and replied, “This has nothing to do with me. Maybe his character is so poor that even the chair despised him. Or maybe his character is so good that he won the ‘lottery’ twice in a row. I think he should go to buy a lottery today.”

Tang Rou covered her mouth and smiled slightly. She knew that it must be Chu Xun’s trick.

...

Lin Kai glared at his agent, who was stunned, and shouted, “What are you waiting for, silly? Come and help me up.”

Now, he could not pay attention to his image anymore.

The agent hurriedly helped Lin Kai up. This time, he no longer said that he couldn’t help Lin Kai up alone.

“Lin Kai, are you all right? Shall I send you to the hospital now?” Director Lu asked with concern. After all, it was him who invited Lin Kai to there.

“Do I look like I’m ok?” Lin Kai shouted irritably. “I won’t do any shooting work today. I want to go back to rest!”

After saying that, he ignored everyone, turned back, limped to a sightseeing car and left quickly, but it looked more like he was fleeing. Before leaving, he cursed to himself that the place was fu*king weird.

...

Those who were left at the place all shook their heads in disdain and were surprised that this was what a popular idol looked like.

Their faces were full of anger and dissatisfaction. They had worked hard for half a day for nothing.

Director Lu shook his head helplessly and said to everyone, “That’s all for today. We’ll continued the shooting work tomorrow.”

In fact, the one who felt upset the most was him. After all, he was the one who made Lin Kai famous.

Director Lu walked over and looked at Tang Rou apologetically. “Tang Rou, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect that things would go on like this.”

“Director Lu, don’t blame yourself. No one would like to see such a thing happen. Besides, it’s not your fault. You don’t have to apologize to me,” Tang Rou said considerately.

.

“Alas!”

Director Lu sighed.

“Director Lu, it’s okay. We can continue the shooting work tomorrow.”

Tang Rou comforted him.

Director Lu suppressed his emotions and said with a smile, “Then, I’ll prepare a place for you to rest first. All of us can live here tonight, so we won’t be in a hurry tomorrow. It’s very troublesome to run hither and thither.”

“Live here?” Tang Rou was stunned and turned to look at Chu Xun.

“It’s okay. Let’s do as Director Lu said. I will visit your parents tomorrow night!” Chu Xun knew what Tang Rou was worried about.

Sure enough, Tang Rou was relieved after hearing the words for she had been afraid that Chu Xun would be unhappy about the decision.

“Then, I’ll have to bother you, Director Lu.”

“Not at all. I’ll arrange everything for you now.”

Director Lu glanced at Chu Xun curiously before he left. Just now, he heard Chu Xun say he would visit Tang Rou’s parents. He wondered if they were a couple. After looking at the two carefully, Director Lu found that they were indeed a perfect match.

Director Lu took a few steps away but suddenly stopped and looked back at Tang Rou, saying, “Ahem, ahem, ahem... Do the two of you want one room or two rooms?’

Tang Rou was stunned firs, and then, her pretty face blushed completely.

“Two,” Chu Xun’s expression remained unchanged as he said flatly.

Director Lu was stunned. He realized that he had misunderstood the relationship between the two, so he left quickly.

Tang Rou glanced at the calm Chu Xun secretly, and she felt a little bit upset. “Doesn’t Brother Chu Xun like me?” she thought to herself.

Sometimes, women would worry too much like this, and even Tang Rou, who was quiet and tender, was no exception.

Of course, this was just an episode.

In the afternoon, Chu Xun almost toured around the entire villa with Tang Rou.

...

...

Late at night, the silver moon was like a plate, and stars were twinkling in the sky.

Chu Xun stood by the window, and his eyes fell on the deepest place of the villa.

The reason why he did not refuse Director Lu’s proposal was that he was going to investigate something to see if there had what he needed.

Opening the window, he jumped down silently.

Chu Xun turned into a black shadow and flew toward the deepest place of the villa in the night.

About a dozen minutes later, Chu Xun looked at the desolation in front of him, which was out of tune with the greenery of the villa.

The place was sealed and isolated by wire netting, and the lock on the gate had rusted.

Chu Xun pulled the lock lightly and broke it.

He stepped into the gate. The fallen leaves under his feet had dried up, and when he stepped on them, there were particularly ear-piercing sounds in the quiet night.

Chu Xun’s divine sense spread all the way forward.

After he walked about ten minutes, he arrived at a pool with a diameter of ten meters.

The pitch-black water in the pool gave Chu Xun a chilling feeling, looking like a monster that was waiting for its prey to fall into its trap with its mouth wide open.

Chu Xun squatted down, put his fingers into the water and stirred gently.

The water was bone-chilling, and a layer of white mist climbed onto his fingers, the back of his hand, and finally his arm.

At the same time, a strange energy fluctuation burst out along his arm and rushed into Chu Xun’s brain.

Chu Xun withdrew his hand, and a puff of water vapour rose from his arm. As the white mist dissipated, the energy fluctuation also disappeared.

“Cold Stone of Fantasy,” Chu Xun said softly.

Cold Stone of Fantasy was not helpful for cultivation, but it was the best material for making storage space.

Cold Stone of Fantasy had a mysterious power that could invade people’s brains and make people hallucinate.

It was exactly because of this power that the stone could be used by the cultivators. After controlling the power of the Cold Stone of Fantasy, one could put an object into the storage space and take it out with a sheer of his mind.

“Plop!”

Chu Xun leaped into the pool. His True Energy formed a shield, which prevented the cold water from nearing him.

Chu Xun dived all the way downward, and the dark water could not block his sight.

The depth of the pool was about 50 meters.

At the bottom of the pool, a fist-sized milky white stone emitted a cold and hazy white light.

It was exactly a Cold Stone of Fantasy.

Chu Xun held the stone in his hand effortlessly, ignoring the piercing chill from the stone that could freeze people into ice cubes, and swam upward along the way.

“Bang!”

The surface of the pool exploded, and Chu Xun jumped up to the poolside with his clothes dry.

Looking at the stone in his hand, Chu Xun smiled. It was really troublesome for him to not have a storage space.

However, soon, his smile froze on his face.

The Hellish Python that wrapped around his wrist suddenly crawled to the palm of his hand.

“Crack!”

The python opened its mouth, bit a small piece of stone off, chewed it several times, and swallowed it like eating beans.

Chu Xun was stunned. He quickly pinched Hellish Python by the tail, and when the python was about to bite the stone twice, he lifted it away from the cold stone.
