Chapter 87: To Z City

Chapter 87

"What? You said you're going to Z City on a business trip and asked if I have any work for you?" Xu Kai had an expression on his face like he had just seen a ghost. He took out his phone and looked at the lunar calendar several times.

What day is today anyway?

How could Song Jixing be leaving Y City?

"After the event ends, I want to take a break for about half a month or so, but I might also come back early." Song Jixing added.

Considering that she would be staying in Z City for a while, Song Jixing decided to earn some money. Better safe than sorry!

Only then did Xu Kai not look as horrified as before. He knew Song Jixing would never work this hard!

Turns out she was taking a month off and picking up jobs on the side!

Xu Kai considered himself not a harsh agent. Plus Song Jixing's performances have been quite good lately, starring in one big production after another, with directors singing her praises nonstop.

It was time to relax and take a break.

Xu Kai thought for a bit, "There are many mountains in Z City. Are you going there for a mountain getaway?"

Song Jixing: "I do plan to go to the mountains." To see the reservoir in the mountains.

Xu Kai nodded, "The air quality is better in the mountains. Breathe in more fresh air and have a good rest." Then he spent half a day lining up two jobs for Song Jixing.

One was the opening of a shopping mall where she only needed to make an appearance and walk the red carpet. The other was promoting a travel brand.

Song Jixing had done well in a previous travel reality show that was very popular. After the island opened up, many people went there to relive Song Jixing's journey, attracting many advertisers.

After discussing some work arrangements, Xu Kai drew up contracts for Song Jixing to sign, and asked about her departure time to book plane tickets and hotels for her. Those were part of an agent's daily duties.

Song Jixing: "I'll book everything myself this time. I plan to drive there myself." She would be going with fellow sect members, so flying was out of the question. Song Jixing planned to drive on the highway.

Xu Kai asked, "You're not bringing Xiao Wang?"

Of course not -

Song Jixing had no plans to bring Xiao Wang from the start, since fellow sect members would be coming too. But now that Xu Kai mentioned it, it seemed very inappropriate for her to not have her assistant for work.

Although she could bring her senior sect brother, he did not look like her assistant at all.

"If Elder Bai is willing to come, you can help martial sister and me along the way. I can buy thousands of pounds of sparkling water for Elder Bai..." Shen Feixian said with a smile.

After listening, Bai Ling still sounded somewhat doubtful. "Just to work?"

"I can also take Elder Bai sightseeing and try the delicacies here. I heard there's a food festival where we're going with thousands of tasty foods and all kinds of wine..."

Bai Ling immediately put down her glass heavily. Her mind was set. "Let's go! Let's go now!"

It was hard enough coming to the mortal realm to play. How could she be cooped up at home!

Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhi immediately went back to pack.

The two did not have much stuff, just daily necessities and clothes filling up half a suitcase.

Shen Feixian and Song Jixing had even less. All their things did not even half fill the trunk.

Before leaving, WenRen He sent over a jar of matcha sauce, for when the group got hungry on the road. All the matcha sauce at school was personally made by WenRen He.

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at the sight. Shen Feixian smilingly accepted it.

-

On the highway to Z City, Song Jixing mobilized her spiritual power to look at the surrounding mountains.

The aura in Z City was clearly richer than Y City, with overflowing aura casually seen in the mountains. She had barely seen any in Y City, perhaps due to arrays being more formidable.

The day before setting off, Song Jixing booked a large apartment online in the city, with four to five bedrooms, very spacious and cheaper than a hotel.

After putting their luggage down, Bai Ling impatiently urged Shen Feixian to bring her out to play.

Shen Feixian bid Song Jixing and brought Bai Ling and Xiang Zhi out.

Song Jixing did not feel lonely alone in the apartment. She had many things to do.

She first sent Xiao Wang a message with her lodging address. Then she went to a nearby car rental place to rent a car, immediately driving off.

The reservoir was in the mountains, a over two hour drive from the city.

By the time Song Jixing arrived, it was already dark. Neither smoke nor lights around, deathly still.
