When Lord Jellyfish didn’t move, it was transparent; when silent, it was like it didn’t exist. However, when it started moving, its whole body would drip water.
Since Hua Ji’s side profile was facing Director Yu, in Director Yu’s eyes the Hua Ji who was acting out the role of Feng Huixue was currently lowering his head and sobbing. The tears that leaked from the corners of his eyes were incomparably clear, yet mysteriously contained some sort of glittering radiance. At this moment, the third male lead’s confidant seemed to be made of Liuli crystal, incredibly beautiful.
Director Yu excitedly slapped the table. “It’s exactly this sort of feeling!!”
This year, if they wanted to raise the ratings, a controversial character was necessary. For example, Feng Huixue; his character setting had him speaking in a feminine manner and his face had to have a certain lovely charm that most men didn’t have. Yet when he carried out his tasks, he needed to be efficient yet vicious and merciless. At the same time, he was devoted towards his master, ultimately dying a tragic death at the hands of the second male lead.
In this way, the character that was designed to be likeable would definitely raise many discussions when the show is aired. Likewise, being the person who started the discussions, Hua Ji would definitely explode in popularity.
Actually, Director Yu wanted to give this role to a Xiaosheng, but who knew Wan Gu Entertainment would suddenly call and request for this role. Since the big boss, Genesis Media, also agreed and even the investors weren’t opposed, Director Yu couldn’t say no either.
He had already stated beforehand, if the other party was not in line with the image in his mind, he had the power to veto this.
Whether it be Wan Gu Entertainment, Genesis Media, or even the investors, they all agreed with Director Yu’s request.
This was because they were all very clear: To let a fox spirit act the role of a fox spirit, if the performance was not up to standards, this fox spirit would end up the laughingstock of the country’s inhuman circle. To avoid this, Hua Ji would put all his effort into his acting.
Predictably, Director Yu was full of praises towards Hua Ji. “Very good, go back and polish it up a bit more.”
Hua Ji smiled stiffly, his hair still a little wet. He wanted to use demonic energy to steam away the water, but was also afraid that Lord Jellyfish was unwilling. The expression on Li Shunhua’s face was also a little stiff. At that moment, it seemed as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast from ancient times, on the verge of being slaughtered.
If Director Yu had recorded that scene and played it back, he would have seen that Li Shunhua’s expression when he was facing Hua Ji was one of alarm and despair. At the same time, the maiden who had been sitting by Director Yu’s side had been prepared to jump out to save him, face filled with franticness.
Luckily at that time, Hua Ji’s performance caught the attention of Director Yu, resulting in Director Yu as well as the screenwriter and assistant to completely be focused on Hua Ji and causing them to not notice Li Shunhua and the maiden.
Director Yu indicated Hua Ji could leave. Hua Ji bowed stiffly, not even looking at Li Shunhua, whose expression was constantly shifting, before he turned around and left.
In his wake, there was mysteriously an extra puddle of water left behind.
Li Shunhua soundlessly tapped the floor with the tip of his foot and the puddle of water instantly vanished.
This all happened without any noise; ordinary people like Director Yu did not notice at all.
Director Yu lowered his head to note down Hua Ji’s name in his laptop, before turning around and saying to the maiden beside him, “The feel that this Hua Ji’s performance gives off is extremely good, you would do well to learn from it.”
The maiden drily smiled. She carefully said, “Director Yu, I need to use the toilet.”
Director Yu glanced at his watch, understandingly nodding his head, “Go ahead. I happen to have something to think over, let the people here for the audition wait ten minutes.”
Director Yu turned his head to discuss with the screenwriter about Feng Huixue’s backstory. Looking at Hua Ji’s performance, they could possibly add something to make him more likeable, for example, liking to embroider? Hehe.

The maiden grabbed Li Shunhua’s hand, crying out in alarm, “Shixiong, you lied to me! Demons are so scary!”

Ah He clutched her senior martial brother’s sleeve, worriedly asking, “Shixiong, is that okay? That senior is so powerful, it’s better not to go.”
Li Shunhua proudly said, “It’s fine, this is the regular procedure and the country has already stipulated this. Any demon who leaves the mountain must register their identity. The senior on that damned fox’s head definitely does not have any identification, otherwise we would have received a notification!”
Only after hearing this did Ah He let out a sigh of relief. “Then that’s good, it won’t implicate Shixiong.”
“As for you, you should just properly study the script!”
Hua Ji returned to his apartment as quickly as he could.
“Lord Jellyfish, you’re awake?”
The jellyfish came down from atop Hua Ji’s head, four tentacles acting as four limbs, steadily sizing up the apartment. After inspecting a round, Lord Jellyfish said, “Just now you were so sorrowful, why did you stop me?”
Hua Ji tried to explain it clearly, “I was acting, acting, do you know that? It’s like the stage plays of olden times.”
Lord Jellyfish instantly understood. “Oh, I understand! That was all acted out, right?”
Hua Ji repeatedly nodded his head, “Right, right.”
Lord Jellyfish questioned, “Then in the future, how will I differentiate whether you are acting or not?”
Hua Ji thought for a bit. “How about this, if I’m not acting, then I will loudly yell, ‘Lord, please let me hug your thigh’, is that okay?”
Lord Jellyfish agreed.
It once again spoke, “Are you free?”
Hua Ji thought for a while. Besides secluding himself to analyse the new script, there was nothing else to do.
“Before the role is confirmed, I shouldn’t have anything else to do.”
That’s right, he still needed to give Butterfly Yan a call to tell him about this. Hua Ji fished out his phone, simultaneously sending Butterfly Yan a text message while saying, “Why? Does Lord Jellyfish have something to take care of?”
Lord Jellyfish moved closer, staring closely at the Apple phone in Hua Ji’s hand. “I do. Teach me how to use all the human products. I also need books.”
As someone highly skilled at blending in, Lord Jellyfish would emerge from the sea every few hundred years to educate itself on the planet’s culture, brushing up on its knowledge. As of now, its current knowledge was dated three hundred years ago and urgently needed a catch up.
Hua Ji was dazed. After carefully thinking about it, it was almost too horrible to contemplate.
This Lord Jellyfish was much more amazing than those demons and spirits back on the mountain.
The demons and spirits that left the mountain were all as pure as white paper, yet what about the one before his eyes? He even knew how to sing Beijing opera!
Thinking up to this point, he didn’t dare to pull any tricks, straightforwardly introducing Lord Jellyfish to the top tier studying tool: a laptop.
”I’ll gift you a laptop!”
Hua Ji said with a mocking tone, “Of course, the specifics of the one you want, we’ll talk about it once you have some understanding. This is my laptop, you can use it for now.”
After that, he taught Lord Jellyfish how to turn the laptop on and off and how to use search engines. With regards to words and characters, Lord Jellyfish only knew traditional characters and could barely understand what he was reading. In any case, it would just use some !
The only thing that needed a serious warning was…
“Lord Jellyfish, you need to take care to not let water drip into the keyboard. This thing cannot touch water.”
Lord Jellyfish looked at its own tentacles, assuring him, “Relax, I can control it.”
Even as he left to take a shower, Hua Ji couldn’t help worriedly glancing back a few times. Lord Jellyfish quickly learned pinyin and started and Googling.
Lord Jellyfish first searched up the word ‘education’. After understanding the current educational system, it selected a pdf of a primary school grade six textbook. After the document downloaded, it began reading it in an engrossed manner.
Half an hour later, Hua Ji finished his shower. He walked behind Lord Jellyfish and was shocked to find Lord Jellyfish currently reading a middle school textbook.
His voice was filled with confusion.
“You’re looking at textbooks?”
The jellyfish nodded its head, rapidly scrolling through the pages of the middle school textbook pdf in front of it.
Hua Ji said in a disbelieving tone, “You’re reading it this fast? Do you even understand it?”
Demons had memories far surpassing that of ordinary humans, but memorising did not mean understanding.
Lord Jellyfish turned its head to give Hua Ji a look, its milky-white umbrella blinking with dots of light. Hua Ji then remembered, these were all Lord Jellyfish’s eyes.
Lord Jellyfish repeated, “Four eyes are controlled by a brain, and even I don’t know how many brains I have. This sort of thing is very simple, giving it a glance is enough to understand it.”
Hua Ji walked away with a wooden expression.
Being a failure at studies, he did not want to talk to a top student.
Hua Ji silently used his phone while Lord Jellyfish flipped through books at the speed of light. An hour later, someone knocked on the door.
Hua Ji went to get the door. He thought it was Butterfly Yan, but when he opened the door, his expression instantly changed.
”I am the Mystical Creature Protection Department’s head, we recently received news that another one left the mountain? Why didn’t it go for the exam?
The person that came wore a suit and had the tone of a government official. He had a big belly and his smile was completely artificial.
This was the Mystical Creature Protection Department under the country’s Supernatural Administrative Office. Just by hearing its name, one would know what its whole deal was. It was meant to manage the spirits and demons that joined human society.
Hua Ji pulled up the corners of his lips. This fellow was surnamed Yuan and was the head monk of the Moulin Monastery. He was the foremost expert in distinguishing spirits and demons, and left the monastery to join the government to become their all-seeing eyes.
He let Monk Yuan in, pointing at the Lord Jellyfish busily typing on the keyboard, saying, “The senior has just entered the mortal world. I’ve just taught him how to use a laptop, he still needs a bit more time before he can go for the exam.”
Monk Yuan’s smile contained a special implication, “A bit more time? How long do you want to wait? The longer he stays in the human world, the more retention fees you need to pay.”
Hua Ji smiled coldly in his heart. This bloodsucker. Not waiting for him to open his mouth, at some unknown point in time a transparent tentacle made its way up and touched Monk Yuan’s forehead.
Monk Yuan was shocked silly.
Hua Ji lowered his head, clicking his tongue in appreciation. Truly worthy of being the one with the most transparent, longest, softest, noiseless tentacle, the big jellyfish!
This tentacle wound around Monk Yuan’s forehead three times, almost giving Monk Yuan a heart attack!
The small, milky-white tentacle dropped down from Monk Yuan’s forehead, directly looking into Monk Yuan’s eyes.
The small tentacle had an additional small umbrella. The small umbrella became exceedingly human-like, splitting open into a large mouth that was pitch-black and full of barbs.
He asked, “When is the exam? What is being tested? Is there an exam syllabus? Are there any mock exam questions? Is there a need to pay a fee? When is the exam? What can be brought in? Are there supplementary books? When will the results be released? How can the fairness of the results be guaranteed? Can I supervise you in correcting the scripts? How many marks is considered a passing grade? Do you have a passing rate? Who’s correcting the scripts? How should the paper be answered for it to be considered a pass? Is it according to a model answer or at the discretion of the person correcting the paper blabla…”
Monk Yuan and Hua Ji’s were simultaneously dumbstruck.
Lord Jellyfish pridefully thought, a bunch of brats, even if it were difficult, could it be more difficult than the Imperial Examinations?
Study god jellyfish, bow before him! Lmao! Thanks for the chapter 🤣❤️
OMG!!!! I’m LOVING IT!!!!
I FU*KING LOVE THIS JELLYFISH!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
What the FUCKKKKK🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laugh so hard. What the… I love this Study Tyrant Jellyfish SO FUCKING MUCH! 😂😂 What a lovely!
This jellyfish hahaha😂
I love the god jellyfish so much!! He such a mode!
Top student Jelly, pls send blessings wuwuwu
What makes even less sense than a jellyfish having four eyes to a brain is a jellyfish having any brain at all. They naturally have no brain, no respiratory system, and no bones. They do have a nervous system and rather unique eyes.
That was kinda hot 🤭
Could Lord Jellyfish spare this pitiful student some brains? 😭🙏
Top student Jelly!
aiyaa, this jellyfish is truly worthy of the title of top student…
