“What kind of garbage script is this?”
Hua Ji roared at Butterfly Yan, “The script actually blatantly showed a pairing with two guys? How can this be? Even if they want to satisfy the large rotten audience, will those conservative bald men really let this sort of setting slide?”
Butterfly Yan seemed to be busy, his voice unclear, “How is that possible? I’ve read over the script and although it’s a bit vulgar, eventually Director Yu will surely change the plot. Anyway, there isn’t even a blatant male-male pairing in there.”
Hua Ji was so angry his liver hurt. “Isn’t that Devil Sect Head Manager and the Devil Sect Sect Leader a model male-male pairing? One of the scenes even has the line ‘release the Sect Leader, let me do it’? Are you f*cking joking?!”
Butterfly Yan immediately said, “There is such a scene. After saying ‘release the Sect Leader, let me serve him’, I remember what comes after that is the Head Manager diligently helping the Sect Leader put on his shoes…”
Hua Ji: =口= !! Put on his shoes?!
Butterfly Yan ridiculed, “I say, come raging to me only after you’ve read the whole script, okay? It’s only the dialogue ship-teasing a little. In any case you are also an actor, be more professional, alright? Even if you have to ship-tease, you’re also not the one suffering a loss, so what are you so agitated for!?”
Butterfly Yan was extremely dissatisfied, after all Hua Ji was a fox spirit! Even if there was papapa, the one who would reap the benefits was still him, what was he so irritated about?
”However, the one acting as the Devil Sect Sect Leader is Li Shunhua!!” Hua Ji flusteredly said, “He actually dared to hire a mercenary out-of-country to kill me?! What’s more, it’s a bat spirit!!”
“Who told you to insist on going to Hawaii for a vacation? Even if you wanted to experience an island environment, you could also go to the Spratly Islands, that’s also part of our country’s territory. So long as it’s on our country’s turf, any inhuman members under the management of the Supernatural Office are not allowed to have infighting. It’s unsafe outside of the country, so you’re better off just remaining in the country.” Butterfly Yan impatiently continued, “Alright, alright, the boss assigned another newbie to me, I have no time to bother with you. You stay at home and wait upon that esteemed Bodhisattva, and also read that script while you’re at it. I will let you know when the filming starts, you are not allowed to mess this up, do you hear me!!”
Click, Butterfly Yan hung up the phone. Hua Ji huffed as he glared at his phone, thoughts whirling. Managing a newbie? There wasn’t any news of a little demon leaving the mountain recently. Unless it’s an ordinary person?
To speak the truth, Hua Ji was different from the typical actor. Some third-tier actors were very afraid of their own managers taking on other actors and splitting up the resources. Hua Ji didn’t have such apprehensions. He didn’t lack money, the years before the founding of the country were filled with unrest and taking advantage of the chaos, Hua Ji had collected some valuable things. Nowadays, times were peaceful, and without even mentioning the rest of the valuables he possessed, just his set of Yuan Dynasty pottery could be exchanged for a large sum of money.
These days, demons have to group together to have a better quality of life. Wan Gu Entertainment was a renowned entertainment company on the surface, but in reality it was one of many places where demons could secretly launder their money. Hua Ji himself had several other investments. They wouldn’t be enough to enter any sort of wealth rankings but most of the time he didn’t need to worry about lacking cash.
Therefore, even if Butterfly Yan was managing a newbie, as long as it was not a demon, he didn’t have anything to worry about.
Reprinting the script, Hua Ji endured the urge to tear it apart and re-read the whole thing one more time. After reading, he was filled with despair.
Needing to act in an adoring manner towards that pretty boy Li Shunhua, this truly tested his acting abilities. Honestly speaking, he was just a small third-tier actor, why not be unprofessional just this once?
While he was silently deliberating whether or not to give Li Shunhua trouble on set, Lord Jellyfish had already finished reading all of the primary education materials.
He asked Hua Ji, “This here says there’s a type of exam called the College Entrance Examinations, can I sit for it?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Hua Ji instantly fell to his knees and hung his head. “Dada, you want to attend the College Entrance Examinations?”

He drily said, “You can first take the Mystical Protection Department’s examination; after passing, you will be able to acquire an identification card as well as a copy of a forged birth record and school records. Only after you have these things, will you be able to attend the College Entrance Examinations.”
Lord Jellyfish nodded his head, “I understand, I used your credit card to buy a handphone and a laptop. It’s not good to always be using yours.”
Speaking up to here, Lord jellyfish stopped, four tentacles propping up his large umbrella. He looked at Hua Ji, numerous dots of light flashing on the milky-white large umbrella. All of them focused on Hua Ji, the umbrella rippling like the faint billowing of waves. It might just be his imagination, but Hua Ji felt as if Lord Jellyfish’s tone had become a lot gentler.
“Thank you, fox.”
Hua Ji coughed repeatedly. He didn’t feel happy in the slightest being stared at by so many eyes. He only felt the hairs on his body standing straight up.
”Just call me Hua Ji, Ah Ji is also fine.” He waved a hand. “If you want to buy then buy. When I gave you that credit card, it was for you to buy whatever you needed.”
Lord Jellyfish solemnly said, “I will pay you back.”
Hua Ji shook his head, “No need, there’s no need!”
Lord Jellyfish expressed, “I have money.”
His tentacle slowly started wiggling, the long, barbed tentacle seemed as if it was retching. Suddenly, a pearl around the size of a thumb rolled out.
“Every time I go out, I will bring this along, this should be worth a lot.”
People’s love towards precious stones and accessories have not changed since ancient times.
Hua Ji’s eyes brightened and he picked up the pearl to size it up. “Good stuff! This pearl must be at least 300 years-old!”
Lord Jellyfish said, “Every time I returned home to sleep, I would first grab a handful of sand to stuff inside the pearl oyster next to me. The next time I woke up, there would be plenty of pearls produced, and I could take them out to exchange for money.”
Hua Ji: …What a fierce Lord Jellyfish.
“Do you need a few?” Lord Jellyfish good-temperedly said, “I brought a lot.”
Hua Ji’s eyes darted around in thought. “Then let’s do it like this: I’ll open a bank account for you. Give all of the pearls to me, I’ll hand these raw pearls to an old friend to make into jewellery, that way they can be sold for more money.”
Lord Jellyfish seemed to give Hua Ji a serious glance. He slowly said, “There’s no need.”
Hua Ji blanked out for a moment, “Why?”
“My pearls, I’m only giving them to you, not to other people.”
Hua Ji felt slightly embarrassed, he drily said, “… This, only giving them to me?”
“When my pearls are ground into a powder and consumed, they’re good for the body. Why should they be given to other people?”
Hua Ji’s heart felt warm, the messy thoughts instantly disappearing without a trace. He sat beside Lord Jellyfish, gently feeling Lord Jellyfish’s tentacles. They were slippery and felt great to touch.
“Okay, I will carefully keep this pearl.”
Only a few days passed and Lord Jellyfish’s ordered handphone had arrived. Pear 6Plus, definitely good to use.
Hua Ji saw the upcomings days were relatively unoccupied, so he brought Lord Jellyfish to the capital to attend the Mystical Protection Department’s exam.
As Lord Jellyfish refused to sit on an airplane even on threat of death, Hua Ji could only buy high-speed rail tickets. Lord Jellyfish sprawled on Hua Ji’s head as always, apparently not train sick.
In the middle of the ride, Hua Ji went to the centre of the train to fetch hot water and unexpectedly met a little demon in the process of doing so.
The little demon was in the middle of eating an ear of corn. When he saw Hua Ji watching him, he blanked out for a moment, following which he curled up into a ball, trembling all over.
Hua Ji was stunned. What’s happening here?
The train attendant instantly phoned the station ahead to ask them to call 120. The little demon was completely unwilling and Hua Ji’s head was filled with black lines. If he were to be taken away to the hospital, this little demon would need to face a large fine from the Mystical Protection Department.
Having the belief that demons should look out for each other, Hua Ji went up to talk to the train attendant.
“I am his friend, he’s just having a nightmare so there’s no need to call 120, really, there’s no need.”
The little demon trembled harder.
To get the attendant and the train guard to believe him, he grabbed the little demon and pulled him over, hugging his shoulder to put on the appearance of warm-hearted affection, saying, “You see? He’s perfectly fine, thank you for your concern.”
The little demon nearly started crying.
The train guard suspiciously looked at the two of them, and even when walking away he kept turning back to look at them. He had a strong feeling that Hua Ji was lying, so he seriously urged the little demon, “If there’s an issue, shout for us!”
The gaze with which the little demon looked at the train guard was filled with tears, as if he was looking at his own dear mother, just shy of throwing himself towards him.
Hua Ji felt especially helpless, saying quietly, “If you were dragged away by 120, then you’d be in trouble!!”
The little demon also knew this point, but he couldn’t help himself!!
Mommy, the outside world is so scary. QAQ
At this moment, the mobile food cart came over.
Lord Jellyfish asked, “Do you want to eat chicken?”
Hua Ji shook his head, “I don’t want to eat chicken, I want to eat black pepper beef rice.”
The salesperson just so happened to have heard these words, passing over a box of rice to Hua Ji, Hua Ji handed over the payment and sat down on the empty seat beside the little demon.
Lord Jellyfish said doubtfully, “Then why are you with this little rooster?”
…Little rooster.
Hua Ji looked towards the little demon with a new understanding. “…Brother, what’s your name?”
”Ji Hong……” The little rooster’s eyes were hazy with tears as he pulled on Hua Ji’s sleeve. “Can you not eat me, please?”
Hua Ji exhaled deeply, only responding after a pause, “Rest assured, I don’t eat chicken. Recently, I’ve switched to eating bats.”
The little rooster instantly brightened up. “Lord Fox is a good person.”
Hua Ji suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.
That’s so cute!
That was a good call he chose the beef instead of chicken lol.
Aah so that’s why the little demon gets frightened
Lmao no wonder chicken Hong is trembling like a leaf
Aaaaw the little roster is afraid of Hua Ji, I thought it was for Lord Jellyfish 😂
Little roster sounds sounds like such a cutie
Spratly is ours
I’m sorry but China’s way claiming everything is so cringe 😬
Claiming Spratlys is a very controversial thing. I’m disappointed. I like to read something that doesn’t include topics like this. China has been a big bully in Asia recently. 🤧
oh lord…. College Entrance Exams- I haven’t heard of that term for a long, long time 😭
