Chapter 20 Alleviating the Suffering of Hunger and Cold
After all that effort, the video was finally filmed.

Ning Meng even took advantage of the waiting time to edit the video she filmed that afternoon of Su Xintang dancing with a sword in a white dress using CapCut, added background music, and posted it to her own Douyin account.

Around 5:30, a magenta Xiaomi car left from the foot of Phoenix Mountain, driven by Ning Meng.

Su Xintang sat in the back seat playing with Meng Bai's camera.

She was taking pictures here and there, having a great time. If she keeps this up, one day when she returns to Hegu, Su Xintang might become the first Vlog blogger in Hegu's history.

As for Meng Bai, he was in the passenger seat, editing videos and chatting with Ning Meng while holding his notebook.

"I thought you'd benefit from the traffic generated by debunking the rumors. You have no idea, Bu Jie and the others have placed bets at the company, betting that you'll come out and deny the rumors within a few days."

"There's no need. That marketing account spreading rumors has nothing to do with me." Meng Bai shook his head.

“It’s really unnecessary. Debunking rumors and creating a fake account will inevitably lead to criticism, and it will ultimately be a dark history. With Sister Su’s resources, there’s no need to resort to crooked methods.” Ning Meng agreed with Meng Bai’s idea.

After saying that, she added, "So what are you planning to do all by yourself?"

"Correct."

"Take me with you! I'm quitting my job tomorrow." Ning Meng didn't hide anything. She was willing to help today partly out of friendship, and partly to see how things went.

"It's possible, but we don't think we can take on commercial orders, and the account might not earn any money for a long time."

Meng Bai will not accept business deals until he has figured out Su Xintang's identity, because it will cause a lot of trouble.

But Ning Meng couldn't understand: If you don't take commercial orders, why do you have a self-media account?

So she asked doubtfully, "You're not taking commercial orders, are you planning to build up your popularity... to send Sister Su into the entertainment industry? No way, the entertainment industry isn't as easy as you think."

"No, I don't have that idea." Meng Bai laughed and changed the subject. "By the way, do you have any houses in the surrounding rural areas? I'd like to rent a detached house, preferably with a big yard."

Ning Meng thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No."

Before Meng Bai could reply, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "We don't have any rural properties, but how about the ones in OCT East?"

"A villa?"

"Yes, a four-story villa on the mountain, with an interior area of ​​over 1,000 square meters and a yard of over 1,000 square meters. The entire mountain is yours, and you can see the sea view of Dapeng Bay from your home."

"Let me tell you, it's really lively over there at night. There are snakes, insects, rats, ants, all sorts of monsters and spirits, but you can't see any people." Ning Meng burst out laughing after saying that.

He laughed as he said, "Hey, my uncle lost over a thousand on this house. He hasn't even finished paying off the loan yet, and he's been trying to sell it but can't. Hahaha..."

"Rent it?"

"Quack~~" Ning Meng, who was laughing loudly, suddenly stopped laughing as if a duck had been grabbed by the neck.

She said, "Nonsense, what's the point of living in that godforsaken place? You can't see anyone at night."

"That's great, I love places like this, with mountains, sea and gardens."

"..." Ning Meng, there are also cockroaches and ghosts.

“Really, ask your uncle if he rents it out. How much is it per month?” Meng Bai said earnestly.

Although he doesn't have any money right now, he's planning to make some.

He refused to believe that even with divine intervention, he couldn't make money.

If all else fails, go to Southeast Asia and engage in double-crossing to make a quick buck. Maybe while doing so, you can even find out how to get foreign citizenship.

"I'll go back and ask, but it won't be too cheap. It might cost more than ten thousand a month." Seeing that Meng Bai wasn't joking, Ning Meng agreed.

"It's alright, you can ask first."

Their conversation naturally ended there.

Meng Bai continued editing the video.

Su Xintang was still taking pictures with her camera.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After we arrived near Ning Meng's house and treated her to dinner, it was already past 7 p.m. when we said goodbye to her after leaving the restaurant.

It's getting late.

The city lights came on one by one. Ning Meng lived in Houhai, a very bustling area of ​​Shenzhen, very close to the Shenzhen Talent Park.

Meng Bai looked up at the famous "Spring Bamboo Shoot" building not far away and said to Su Xintang, "No rush to go back, shall we? I'll show you the night view of Shenzhen?"

Su Xintang did not answer, but instead looked up and glanced around.

She arrived during the day yesterday and has been staying in Meng Bai's room ever since.

Today, she realized that the city seemed even more bustling under the cover of night.

The streetlights and sign lights nearby; the landscape lights of the tall buildings in the distance; and the endless stream of car lights—all these lights were reflected in her crystal-clear purple eyes.

she was

I felt a little dazed.

Is this really a city built by mortals?

'Mortals on Earth seem to be not much different from gods.'

"If I attain godhood, I will surely learn the methods of Earth and spread the teachings to the beings under my protection, relieving them of hunger, cold, and suffering," she murmured.

Upon hearing this, all the stars on her body trembled.

However, neither of them could sense the vibration, as if the light did not want anything else to interfere with this spontaneous grand ambition.

“You’ll have the opportunity. With your intelligence, you can learn a lot. I’ll make a study plan for you. Let’s go,” Meng Bai said.

"Mmm." Su Xintang took Meng Bai's hand.

For some reason, Meng Bai, who hadn't felt anything about the action before, suddenly felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Perhaps it was because there were more pedestrians on the road, but being held by the hand of such a beautiful girl made him feel quite proud.

Perhaps it was the mesmerizing nighttime city that finally allowed him to relax the unconscious tension in his mind, and he began to experience an ambiguous atmosphere unique to couples.

And so, his hand slipped and he ended up holding Su Xintang's hand.

Su Xintang's hand paused noticeably, but she did not shake it off.

"Let's go, take a good look around. I hope that one day, Hegu will also have such a scene." After saying that, Meng Bai took her hand and walked into this bustling world.

They didn't even notice that wisps of bluish-gray incense smoke came from the void and hovered behind their heads.

It seems that the heavens have temporarily shielded these things, not wanting the incense offerings to disturb Su Xintang at this moment.

Back home, Ning Meng looked at the "white dress and sword dance" video she had posted two hours earlier and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many comments?"

Upon clicking, the first message read: "[Your martial arts are excellent. Help me kill someone: Jin Yichuan, a junior officer of the Northern Garrison.]"

"Damn, I knew this line would come up." Ning Meng laughed.

While laughing, she quickly posted a comment in the comments section: [Link to the girl in the video @素心棠, feel free to follow if you like]

After posting, she pinned the comment to the top and went to take a shower, all smiles.

The River Drum Heaven.

Su Xintang's younger sister, the white snake, was fleeing for her life through the forest and grass in a mountain. Her jade-like scales were stained with streaks of bright red blood.

A sound of "咻~".

The four-inch iron arrow, adorned with frost flowers, was driven into the white snake's path, blocking her way.

Gazing at the still trembling arrow feathers and the rapidly freezing ground, the white snake turned around and looked up at the sky.

In mid-air, a sinister-looking man dressed in white stood there, holding a sword in his right hand and a crossbow in his left, coldly watching her.

"I am the Jade Spirit Heavenly Serpent, an ancient divine being, recorded in the clan register from birth. Do you dare kill me?" the white serpent roared.

"Tch~~ I wonder what kind of bastard he is, always trying to make himself look good. A celestial serpent? You don't even have horns." The man sneered.

Having said that, he squatted down on a high branch of a tree, looking down at the white snake and continued, "Yu Xuanchen, I don't have time to waste words with you. Where exactly is Su Xintang?"

"I'd like to ask you that: where did you take my sister?!" As he spoke, Yu Xuanchen's azure eyes flashed with malice.
