Chapter 56: The Living

Chapter 56

She walked up to Huo Ling'er and used her spiritual energy to examine his body. Finding that he was not seriously hurt, she asked Shen Feixian about Huo Ling'er's condition.

Shen Feixian was usually busy at home and knew Huo Ling'er's situation quite well.

Shen Feixian said, "He hasn't eaten any of the snacks I bought for him recently and has been sleeping all the time - sleeping in the morning and taking long naps in the afternoon too. Could it be that he's bored from staying at home too long?" Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Shen Feixian asked.

Song Jixing didn't think so. Even if a child was bored, he would want to go out and play, not sleep from morning till night.

There must be something wrong.

They were all humans, while Huo Ling'er was different. He was born from a Fire Spirit Stone. To improve his cultivation, he needed Fire Spirit Stones.

Could it be that the lack of spiritual energy in this world was affecting Huo Ling'er's body?

But Song Jixing had no way to help - the spiritual energy in her body wasn't fire-attributed.

Though it seemed that non-fire spiritual energy didn't hinder things.

Song Jixing channeled a small portion of the little spiritual energy left in her body to Huo Ling'er's body in an extremely gentle stream, to see if it would have any effect.

In just a few seconds, Huo Ling'er woke up.

He yawned and sat up from the sofa, "Sister Song, don't waste your spiritual energy! It won't stay in me."

"Have you been sleeping all the time because you lack fire spiritual energy?" Song Jixing asked.

Huo Ling'er nodded honestly, "I am a bit hungry for it, but I can eat regular food to feel full now."

"It's just that..."

"Just what?" Shen Feixian hurriedly asked. He had been the one taking care of Huo Ling'er all this time, so he wanted to keep a closer eye on him.

"The reason Ling'er has been sleeping all the time is not because I lack spiritual energy, but because I've been feeling a bit strange!" Huo Ling'er said, looking confused.

"What do you mean by strange?"

"Ling'er doesn't know. I just feel like sleeping, and sleeping feels really comfortable - I just want to keep sleeping." Huo Ling'er answered truthfully.

A spirit beast uncontrollably feeling drowsy all the time - Song Jixing didn't know much about this. She had never raised a child before, let alone a pet.

If they couldn't figure out the reason after more investigation, she was even considering taking Huo Ling'er to see a doctor.

After hearing this, Shen Feixian stroked his chin as if deep in thought about something. "I do have some ancient records in my mustard seed bag, unfortunately I can't open it now, otherwise I could look into this."

This was one of the specialties of Qingyun Sect disciples - spell formations.

Although spiritual energy could not remain in their bodies for long, Song Jixing could still use it to stimulate the plants of this world.

She didn't fully understand the intricacies, but as long as it worked, that was enough.

After setting up the formations around the house, Song Jixing also called Yan He over to stay here safely.

Barring accidents, this would become their sect's base from now on.

With everything ready, Song Jixing went on set.

-

For her first time as second male lead, and in a Zhang Shuangcheng film at that, Xu Kai gave Song Jixing endless exhortations to take the role seriously, act well, and get along with the other actors.

Song Jixing nodded in agreement as she flipped through the script for the second male lead, sighing inwardly at how many lines he had compared to her previous shows put together, even though the movie was only two hours long.

Was it because this was her first time as second lead, or first time shooting a movie? Song Jixing felt it was both.

Although the Divine Cauldron had brought Song Jixing much inconvenience, it also had some advantages.

For example, in the action scenes, none of the people present had bodies as flexible and agile as hers, let alone could fight better than her.

For Song Jixing's fight scenes, most passed in one or two takes. If it took two takes, it was definitely because other actors had problems, not her.

Anyone watching would see a promising new martial arts actress on the rise.

Today's scenes were shot on water, with a boat fight between the first and second male leads.

Before starting, Song Jixing's palms grew hot again.

This was not a good sign!

"Action!" The director yelled to start, and all the units began moving.

Song Jixing drew her sword and started the fight scene, every move still done adeptly. But she was somewhat distracted, her eyes not focused on the first male lead.

Zhang Shuangcheng was clearly not very satisfied. "Cut! Stop for a moment, Song Jixing, let me tell you..."

Before he could finish speaking, ripples spread out layer upon layer on the lake surface.

Suddenly, over a hundred wet heads emerged from under the water...

No, not just heads - whole people!

Living people!
