Monk Yuan suffered an extreme shock.
Lord Jellyfish was discussing the Diamond Sutra with Monk Yuan.
“Everything with form is unreal, but what is having a form, what is having no form? Having and not having are unhindered by the fabricated. Instead, there is a great relation to prajña.”
In the span of ten minutes, Monk Yuan had gone from disputing Lord Jellyfish to listening respectfully; the speed of his attitude change was abnormally quick.
Hua Ji had been listening to them with his eyes wide, but he didn’t understand a single word.
At last he pushed himself up and pulled open a drawer, retrieving a few top-grade tea leaves, brewed them into tea and carried the teacup over.
At this time, Lord Jellyfish stretched out a tentacle to receive the teacup, crisply asking, “What object is this?”
Monk Yuan said, “Teacup.”
”What object is inside this?”
“Tea.”
”No, there is nothing inside.” Lord Jellyfish said, “Everything with form is unreal.”
Monk Yuan tightly furrowed his eyebrows for half a beat before relaxing them. His face was filled with respect as he said, “Many thanks for senior’s guidance.”
After that, he respectfully left.
Hua Ji looked reverently at Lord Jellyfish, cautiously asking, “What were you guys talking about just now?”
Lord Jellyfish slowly turned his head, revealing the laptop behind him.
“We weren’t talking about anything.”
Hua Ji wordlessly stared at the screen of the laptop where it showed a Baidu article debating the Diamond Sutra, asking in disbelief, “Y-y-you… you couldn’t have been reading off the article?”
Lord Jellyfish had already lost hope for Hua Ji’s IQ.
”Using you Chinese people’s words, I am a demon, he is a demon exterminator. Why in the world would I research the Diamond Sutra?”
Lord Jellyfish closed the Baidu article on the Diamond Sutra, picking up the papers left behind by Monk Yuan.
”Your management has become quite strict, unlike the past.”

”That’s right, when’s all said and done, right now the demons have blended into human society. If they want to remain in the human world, they must pass an exam, and are not allowed to arouse the panic of the ordinary people.” Speaking until here, Hua Ji hurriedly added, “During that audition, you dripped water onto the floor, almost exposing yourself in front of Director Yu.”
Lord Jellyfish nodded his small umbrella, “Alright, I get it. Next time I won’t let other people see me.”
Pausing for a beat, he said, “That person who was acting out the scene with you is surely not an ordinary person, his lifeforce is much more vigorous than an ordinary person’s.
Hua Ji waved a hand, “He’s fine, he’s a cultivator belonging to a sect, part of the cultivation world like us.”
Lord Jellyfish said, “He has evil intent towards you, can I eat him?”
”…” Hua Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shaking his head, “This is also one of the reasons an exam needs to be taken. Demons need to comply with the country’s rules and regulations, rules specifically created for us demons.
Lord Jellyfish displayed his understanding, “I will carefully study up on it.”
After their talk today, Lord Jellyfish occupied Hua Ji’s laptop, four tentacles clacking on the keys, scrolling through pdfs. Four other tentacles flipped through the information left behind by Monk Yuan, and the final two tentacles even picked up the remote control, getting information through the television.
When Hua Ji saw this scene, although he couldn’t fully understand what was going on, it seemed pretty amazing.
The next day, Butterfly Yan gave him a call, informing him that the script was already in his inbox for him to look through.
Hua Ji mused, “It’s really strange, usually you would personally send it over.”
Butterfly Yan said, “Hah, now there’s nobody who dares to go over to your place.”
Hua Ji felt especially proud. Lord Jellyfish’s infamy had spread far and wide!
“That…this senior is really powerful.” Not waiting for him to regale him with the story of how Lord Jellyfish scared Monk Yuan into retreat, Butterfly Yan continued, “Yesterday the Mystical Protection Department’s (Mystical Creature Protection Department) Department Head visited your apartment? When he returned yesterday night, he gave a call to the Supernatural Management Office’s director to take leave to return to Moulin Monastery. The news just spread out today, apparently his cultivation increased by a small realm.
Hua Ji was stunned.
”Now, the news outside is that on your trip out of the country, you brought back an esteemed Bodhisattva.” Butterfly Yan’s tone carried faint traces of ridicule. “It’s even a big Bodhisattva that can help people raise realms.”
Hua Ji frantically said, “But you saw it with your own eyes, he’s a demon, a demon!!”
”So what if he’s a demon? Sun Wukong was a demon yet he’s still a Buddha.” Butterfly Yan unconcernedly said, “Word has it that this esteemed Bodhisattva of yours is the protector of a great master in China’s history. Now everyone is placing bets as to which great master it is.”
Hua Ji was already completely speechless.
He said, “Who’s the banker?”
Butterfly Yan said, “Tiger Meng. You know him, he has huge casinos in Macau.”
Hua Ji immediately asked, “What choices are there?”
“Relax, there is a ‘talking rubbish’ choice.”
“OK, very good, help me place a bet on this ‘talking rubbish’ choice. What are the odds?”
”One-to-one.”
”…Huh?” Hua Ji was astonished. “This is just no profit, no loss!”
”That’s right, because everyone knows this is a joke option and only the cultivators believe it, but they don’t gamble.”
Hua Ji was silent.
The funds for the cultivators were all legally acquired, and every single disciple had to record down their spending, which was really pitiful. The demons were much freer; at least they could still gamble and visit prostitutes.
…What? The country bans prostitution? No no no, to the foxes who cultivate through the joining of bodies, not letting them papapa is akin to asking for their lives. This is why when it comes to demons, some bans could be ignored.
Cough cough, of course, Hua Ji didn’t walk that path, he walked the path of cultivating by absorbing the essence of moonlight. Even though his cultivation speed was slow, it was stable. This was also the reason why even though the cultivators had gone to find trouble with him several times, they were not allowed to deal the killing blow.
After the country was founded, one of the rules of the cultivators was that harming demons who cultivated honestly was forbidden, as all lives were born equal.
Oh, many thanks to the USA’s Declaration of Independence.
Hanging up the phone, Hua Ji entered the study room and sat in front of the desktop computer, opening his inbox to search for the email.
Butterfly Yan had already emailed the script to him. After downloading the script, Hua Ji printed it out and stapled it into a thick booklet, engrossing himself in reading it.
The name of this series was The Outstanding, Charming Maiden.
Really vulgar.
The name was vulgar, the plot was also quite vulgar. In short, the story was about a young maiden from some sect meeting a handsome guy after leaving the mountain. A man and a woman walked together on the Jianghu, ultimately becoming the strongest martial artists under the skies with the series ending with them tying the knot.
…This sort of rubbish script was actually in preparation to be filmed?
Hua Ji shook his head. A bland setting along with a boring story, how can it become popular?
It all depends on how the story is told as well as the actors’ popularity.
Director Yu had the ability to make a tasteless, dog-blooded story into a love story for the ages.
Hua Ji roughly skimmed over the story’s plot before starting on the most important bits: his scenes.
He was called Feng Huixue, and was the Head General Manager of the Sect Leader of the Devil Sect in the Jianghu. The female lead left the mountain and met the flaneur male lead, the male lead was then plotted against by his good friend and fell down a cliff, his fate unknown. The female lead then decided to jump down the cliff with him.
Just when the female lead was about to jump down the cliff, the Head General Manager Feng Huixue seized the opportunity to ambush the Jianghu’s up-and-rising new talents, killing the men and taking hostage the women. After that, a good show was going to play out.
The female lead stepped forward bravely, helping out these people who betrayed the male lead.
She said, even though they betrayed Shao Ting (the male lead’s name), their crimes were not worthy of the punishment of death, and it was even more unacceptable for them to die through shady methods under the hands of Devil Sect practitioners, so everybody charge…
Hence, these fellows who betrayed the male lead were stirred up by the female lead’s display, one by one prostrating themselves before the female lead. Then… they abandoned the female lead, taking advantage of when the female lead tied up Feng Huixue to quickly escape.
Thus, the female lead landed in Feng Huixue’s hands.
Feng Huixue ridiculed the female lead, but who knew that the female lead would still firmly believe that the others had honour and that they only left to get their seniors before coming back to rescue her.
Towards the female lead who was like the Virgin Mary, Feng Huixue simply captured her and brought her back to the Devil Sect.
Because of the female lead’s obstruction, Feng Huixue didn’t manage to complete his mission. In order to explain his failure to the Sect Leader, he let the Sect Leader see the female lead.
In the end, when the originally wise and farsighted Sect Leader saw the female lead, he instantly became brainless.
The Devil Sect Sect Leader was entranced by the female lead’s Virgin Mary halo, wondering how could the world have a girl that was so innocent, pure and beautiful. He wanted to… papapa with the female lead, to see how the female lead would react to being humiliated.
Who would have expected that when the female lead was being treated roughly by the Sect Leader, she would unexpectedly say in a pitying voice, “To actually treat me like this, it can’t be that you’ve never had a woman before?”
The female lead had an expression of ‘you’re so pitiful’ when she looked at the Devil Sect Sect Leader, after that selflessly deciding to use her body to teach the devil, letting the Devil Sect Sect leader understand the matters of men and women.
At this moment, the eavesdropping Feng Huixue broke down the door and rushed in, shouting, “Release the Sect Leader, let me do it!!”
”Pu–~!!”
Hua Ji spat out a mouthful of saliva, ripping up the script.
This plot is soooo bad… 🕯️ Hua Ji
