After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 424 Feeding and soothing the fur is the way to vanquish evil.
As soon as I woke up, I was starving when a big bowl of hot and fragrant instant noodles was placed in front of me.

In short: Comfortable!

Jiang Hanying took the chopsticks handed to her by her cheap host and ate half a bowl in one go. She felt much more comfortable in her empty stomach, and then looked up from the bowl. "Where did you get the pot and stove for cooking noodles?"

"I took it from your crew's kitchen, left a note, and will return it later."

He noticed there was still no movement from the crew's kitchen around noon, so he guessed that the crew's chefs were probably still asleep, and he didn't know when they would get to eat.

Seeing that Jiang Hanying's tent contained miscellaneous snacks, a few packets of instant noodles that could barely be eaten as a meal, and bottled water, he simply went and took the pot and stove to cook the noodles.

This proved to be a wise move.

Otherwise, they would just be like the other crew members who had just woken up, eagerly waiting for the chef to start cooking.

And this place can't even deliver food!
The last pot of instant noodles was completely devoured by the three of them, leaving not even a drop of broth.

Pei Yuan patted her stomach, which had been fed early thanks to her artist, and quickly snatched the stove and pot back.

Jiang Hanying got up right after her, but walked to the tent door and closed it.

He turned around and walked back, saying, "Let me see your injury."

"I checked when I first woke up, and I've almost recovered."

"Hmm, I'll just take a look."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

He endured for three seconds under Jiang Hanying's intense gaze before giving in, raising his hand to unbutton his shirt.

Jiang Hanying rested her chin on her hand, her eyes fixed on the view as she waited.

Li Chengxiao turned his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief when she stared at him. After unbuttoning his shirt, he pulled it to the side, revealing the area near his heart.

Jiang Hanying leaned over and examined it carefully, then frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, pressing down on the mark with her hand. "Why are there still marks?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, and this little mark is nothing to worry about."

"Then I'll apply the medicine to you again."

With her involved, how could any trace be left!
"No need, these marks should disappear completely in no time."

As Li Chengxiao spoke, he began to put on his shirt.

Jiang Hanying quickly pulled it back to him, "This time it'll be quick, no need for ointment."

Since her previous tricks had already been exposed, there was no need for her to use ointment as a cover-up anymore.

Just as Jiang Hanying placed her hand on his chest, Li Chengxiao finally couldn't hold back and grabbed her wrist, forcibly moving it away.

"I don't know what exactly you used to heal me and the child, but the effect was so good after just one or two times. Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that there must be a corresponding price to pay. Don't use it anymore, not just this time, but you can't use it casually in the future."

Sensing the stubbornness beneath his hand, he used his other hand to smooth the still messy hair on the little head in front of him, his tone filled with helplessness and a hint of pleading: "Hanying, please listen to me this time, okay?"

Jiang Hanying pursed her lips and met the eyes of her cheap master. She almost couldn't help but nod.

"Then, should I use it one last time? I just find these marks a bit unsightly."

"I don't think so, you can't see it when you're wearing clothes."

Li Chengxiao's attitude was unusually firm. He simply grabbed both of her hands with one hand and used the other hand to button up the unbuttoned buttons one by one.

Jiang Hanying tried to struggle, but her grip tightened even more.

discouraged!

Only after fastening the last button did Li Chengxiao release Jiang Hanying's wrist. Seeing the slight redness where he had gripped it, he felt a pang of guilt and instinctively began to gently rub it to improve blood circulation. Jiang Hanying immediately felt a wave of comfort wash over her, her eyes narrowing slightly; she was no longer able to stay angry.

Li Chengxiao watched her like a cat enjoying being stroked, almost purring comfortably. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he continued massaging her. "Last night, when I fought with Bai Lao Er, I discovered something."

Jiang Hanying lazily hummed in agreement: "What's the problem?"

"I could feel that my physical strength and reaction speed had improved a lot compared to before. Also, I didn't put anything extra on my dagger, but it was able to leave wounds on Bai Lao Er that couldn't heal. Afterwards, when I thought about it carefully, I felt like my palm was burned at the time."

"That is to exorcise evil."

Li Chengxiao paused, "Exterminate evil?"

Jiang Hanying flipped his hand over, palm up, and tapped the increasingly clear mark on his palm. "Congratulations on discovering another new function. Corpse-Hidden Worms aren't inherently evil, but this thing uses humans as hosts to evade the rules of erasure, which violates the taboos of this world. That makes it an evil spirit, and it should be exterminated!"

The murderous intent conveyed in the last two words made Li Chengxiao pause in surprise.

At that moment, the person in front of me really resembled a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Where the sword points, killing intent surges!
Then a hand waved in front of his eyes, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly freeze up?"

He suddenly came to his senses and remembered another word Jiang Hanying had just mentioned, "This world? Could there be other worlds?"

He recalled the conversation he overheard between the Bai family uncle and nephew last night when he pretended to be unconscious.

The world today.

The original world.

Does this mean there are two worlds?
But the Corpse-Hidden Worm did not originally belong to this world?

Then why did I come into this world?
How did you obtain it?

He's either reshaping his worldview or on his way to doing so!
Jiang Hanying scratched her head, somewhat at a loss for words. She really didn't know how to explain or where to begin to explain to this cheap owner who had no memory of her.

Her ability to talk is nowhere near as strong as her ability to act!
Telling stories was proving difficult for her.

"Well, the books all say that there's a vast world, so there must be more than one."

Seeing her scratching her ears and fidgeting like a monkey frustrated from practicing calligraphy last night, Li Chengxiao chuckled and let her go, saying, "Alright, I won't ask anymore."

Jiang Hanying immediately breathed a visibly relieved sigh of relief.

"Sister Hanying, the director just announced in the group chat..." Pei Yuan opened the tent door and stepped in with one foot, only to be met with two pairs of eyes staring at her, and she froze instantly.

Should she just turn around and leave now?

"What notification?"

Pei Yuan glanced at their still-clasped hands again, thinking to herself that they weren't even trying to avoid each other. She cleared her throat with a serious expression and replied, "The director said that the medical team has just done a check and confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the food and water for the crew. They suspect that it is probably an air problem."

The two exchanged a silent glance upon hearing this. They were quite capable; they had actually guessed correctly!

"It's highly likely that miasma will be generated here at night, causing people to fall into a deep sleep after inhaling it. So we've informed everyone that we'll only be filming the three scenes scheduled for this afternoon, ensuring we can head back to the city before dark. We also won't be arranging for us to camp here anymore; we'll be filming and leaving on the same day. In addition, we'll be arranging for the entire crew to go to the hospital for medical checkups in batches as soon as possible to ensure there are no aftereffects from inhaling the miasma."

After Pei Yuan finished reciting the rest of the notice in one breath, Jiang Hanying decisively said, "There's no need to arrange a medical examination for me. I'll find someone to do it myself."

She knew exactly what was going on here; it wasn't due to miasma at all.

I'm too lazy to make a special trip to the hospital.

“Alright then, I’ll tell the person in charge of statistics. Also,” Pei Yuan gritted her teeth, “sister, you should get ready to go to the makeup tent to put on makeup.”

You can't forget about work when you're in a relationship!

And they even openly held hands and looked into each other's eyes right under her nose, which was outrageous!
