Chapter 113: Becoming an Apprentice and Passing Down the Art of Paper Cutting

“Cut.”
Director Du called for a pause while watching the camera. “Just explaining is too monotonous. Why not film some of the live process of learning and making it? That would be much more engaging...”

“Then let’s shoot it.”
The assistant director responded eagerly. “I’ll go tell the vendor and ask for his cooperation.”

“Bring him a pack of cigarettes.”
Director Du instructed carefully, “Don’t go empty-handed; it doesn’t look good.”

“Got it.”
The assistant director nodded in understanding.

Since what needed to happen had already happened, Xiao Xin no longer entertained many delicate thoughts. She also remembered what he had told her—that after those poison armor creatures multiplied, they basically couldn’t leave that one spot and would die there directly.

Qin Zhi ate a piece without saying anything but showed his appreciation through his actions by eating another piece.

“All right, Daddy will be careful. Hanging up now, I’m coming right back!” Ji Xiaohan’s mood underwent a complete 360-degree turnaround; just moments ago, his face was gloomy, but now, he suddenly felt great.

Even though he had been gone for a full fifteen years, that face, aside from some slackened skin and a few wrinkles, hadn’t changed much at all.

The words slipped out smoothly, seemingly harmless but carrying a tinge of irony.

Su Yun glanced at them, wrapped herself tightly in a blanket, and turned to walk back inside, pulling the curtains in the hall closed as she went.

“That’s best, or you’re doomed, because I would never love you, even if it kills me.” She shook off his hand decisively, took her nightgown, and stepped into the bathroom.

“Hidden depths, with ulterior motives.” Jun Mo Xie summed up his evaluation of the other person in eight simple words.

He threw back the covers and got out of bed. Su Yun no longer wanted to sleep either; she stretched lazily and followed him into the bathroom, then went downstairs with him for breakfast.

Before this, Ouyang Nan Nan had already informed Dongfang Yu that Bai Ruoxi had left.

Listening to Baili Hongzhuang’s words, Emperor Bei Chen immediately understood her plan and nodded.

In her eyes, anyone could be a companion, but Wanyan Lijia was someone who should never betray her.

“Hmph, those words should be coming from me. Get ready to serve this lady.” Yu Ling’er snorted coldly, then stood up, her alluring figure still exquisitely charming.

For a moment, the stone table in the Sky City fell into an inexplicable silence again.

“Is blood also highly poisonous?” A shadow appeared above the valley entrance, watching the scene and thinking to himself.

To irritate Liu Kongrui, he deliberately took Yue Qianhuang’s hand to his lips and planted a loud kiss on it.

“You’ll understand once you’re inside. No matter what you see or hear later, I hope you can trust what I say. I won’t lie to you; I’ll tell you the truth so you can understand the reality.” Feng Fuyao stood at the tomb’s entrance, turning back with dark, intense eyes fixed on him as she spoke.

“That’s absolutely not the case!” Gong Jun said excitedly. “Usually, everyone just uses first-grade immortal pills and first-grade immortality talismans.”

Fei Yinan knew that even he didn’t quite believe what he was saying, but for the sake of the child, no deeper meaning was necessary.

However, Jiang Su paid no mind to the others’ doubts and was too lazy to explain. Soon enough, they would all find out just how despicable Li Ming really was.

Putting everything else aside, the training of the Jingzhou troops was far more rigorous than before, so their combat strength had naturally improved greatly.

Anan’s feelings of both bitterness and joy vanished, and naturally, the spirit of conflict did not arise. People like him were called the “Carefree Heaven.”

Fortunately, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were innate masters with an extremely strong sixth sense, giving them a keen ability to anticipate danger. So even though two ghost wolves possessed invisibility, it was nearly impossible for them to harm these two.

But with the fall of Chang’an, Xun You’s strategy of “fortify the city and burn the fields” not only lost all effectiveness but also revealed a significant flaw.
