How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 148 - 149: Appearance

Director Wang sat in the center chair, quietly watching Qian Bo flaunt himself.

Indeed, Yuan Xin’s performance was commendable, with both expression and gaze on point, even the part he altered himself was deserving of praise.

Thinking of this, Director Wang nodded, his calm eyes showing a satisfied look.

Yuan Xin stood before everyone, waiting for others’ feedback.

Apart from Qian Bo, the other producers exchanged glances and nodded to approve.

This scene in Yuan Xin’s eyes also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he didn’t really like acting, he’s learned to love the work he’s done over the past three years, hoping his efforts would be recognized.

Now he has an explanation for the years he’s spent.

"Good, not bad! Come, rest for a while on the side; once everyone finishes performing, the results will be announced directly."

As Director Wang finished speaking, a staff member guided Yuan Xin to sit on a chair nearby to rest. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Next."

Li Qingyue stepped out.

He also chose the same part Yuan Xin just performed, but clearly Yuan Xin’s performance was more impactful, which is the benefit of being the first to perform.

Next up, Sun Yuan was even less interested, preferring music more than Yuan Xin, and has always been impatient with acting.

Finally, Shi Mu came out fourth.

Different from the previous three, Shi Mu chose the part where Yang Xiaotu first participated in a murder.

When it comes to acting skills, Shi Mu has some ability. However, his experiences with those eccentric crews have led him to develop some bad habits.

He unconsciously makes exaggerated facial expressions to steal the spotlight.

For instance, in the scene he chose, he shouldn’t have made too many expressions, yet when facing police interrogation, he couldn’t help but curl his lips into a sinister smile.

Director Wang frowned at his performance, and others were also somewhat puzzled.

You tell me, a proper murder planner and killer, why are you smiling at the camera for no reason? Afraid people won’t recognize you as the culprit?!

Director Wang and others watched Shi Mu’s performance throughout with furrowed brows.

But Qian Bo felt Shi Mu’s performance was perfect and stood up alone to applaud.

The scene was slightly awkward.

Shi Mu was also a bit breathless from the performance just now.

"Alright, you go rest on the side for a bit, Yu, how’s the preparation of the person from your company?"

Director Wang didn’t comment on Shi Mu’s performance, but instead asked Yu Xiaozhe, who looked like an elderly monk in meditation sitting nearby.

Yu Xiaozhe heard and looked at Li Mu behind him.

Li Mu understood and walked towards the resting room.

A few minutes later, he returned.

"Director Wang, on our side..."

Shi Mu and the others resting on the side chairs only heard these few words from Li Mu, but couldn’t make out the rest.

However, after listening to Li Mu, Director Wang showed an expression of surprise.

What on earth did Li Mu say?

Shi Mu was anxiously thinking.

From the expression after his performance, Director Wang had already indicated the outcome.

He had failed.

But as long as it wasn’t Ruan Xingwen, he could accept it.

He had signed the contract with Tianyu first, but once Ruan Xingwen also signed, all company resources were prioritized for Ruan Xingwen to choose.

Fortunately, Ruan Xingwen’s luck was terribly bad, unable to become popular despite the promotions, allowing Shi Mu a chance.

Originally thinking the incident with Producer Zhang could ruin Ruan Xingwen, who would have thought Yu Xiaozhe was set on Ruan Xingwen, with the contract specifically naming Ruan Xingwen alone.

Even Ruan Xingwen’s ill fate couldn’t stop Yu Xiaozhe’s decision to sign him!

Damn it! Why not him?!

How is he inferior to that unlucky guy Ruan Xingwen?!

Is it just because he looks effeminate?

Keeping a highminded appearance, who knows what’s really going on between Ruan Xingwen and Yu Xiaozhe!

With a difficult expression, Shi Mu thought about these random things in his heart.

The noise of marble scraping against the floor pulled his attention back.

Everyone saw a bathtub already placed in the center of the stage, with three staff continuously filling it with water.

Soon the bathtub was full.

Ruan Xingwen walked out from the makeup artist, wearing only a thin white shirt and black casual pants.

Walking to the tub, Ruan Xingwen bowed to everyone and said humbly and with a fitting smile:

"Hello everyone, my name is Ruan Xingwen."

No one would dislike someone who is good-looking and has a humble attitude.

The people sitting opposite Ruan Xingwen were the same, having a very favorable first impression of him.

Finally, taking a deep breath with eyes closed, when he reopened them, Ruan Xingwen seemed to transform.

Now he was Yang Xiaotu, who had just killed his brother’s most cherished girl.

Previously he had participated in the design and murder of twelve people.

These people included males, females, young, and older ones.

Their only common trait was having an inclination towards abuse.

This time Yang Xiaotu killed a sweet-looking girl who laughed like a little sun.

The reason for killing her wasn’t her inclination to abuse, but because she had taken away his closest brother.

That was the only warmth he had.

Just yesterday, his brother told him directly that he liked that girl and intended to marry her.

Looking at his brother’s joyful expression, Yang Xiaotu was bewildered.

He knew he should be happy for his brother, but the fear welling up inside him overwhelmed him.

Unable to face his brother’s joyful eyes, Yang Xiaotu lied about a classmate looking for him and ran out of the house.

He walked down the crowded street, not knowing where he was headed.

"Xiaotu?"

A clear voice called from behind.

Returning to his senses, Yang Xiaotu turned to see who called him, it was his brother’s beloved girl.

"It’s really you! I thought I mistook you!"

The girl came closer, holding Yang Xiaotu’s arm, softly asking:

"Why are you here alone? Where’s your brother? Why isn’t he with you?"

Yang Xiaotu didn’t answer the girl’s questions, just stared at her fixedly.

Why am I alone?

Where is my brother?

Why isn’t my brother with me?

Why?

Why...

It’s all because of this girl in front of him, it’s her!

His brother doesn’t want him anymore!

If this girl disappeared, his brother wouldn’t leave him, right?

It must be like that!

If only she would disappear...

How to make her disappear...

Oh, yes.

Just like every time he got rid of bad people before, kill her...

Kill her...

Kill her!

...

The next day, sure enough, his brother stopped talking about marriage, instead, he began frantically searching for the girl.

To make his brother give up quickly, he left many clues this time, and in just over ten hours, the police discovered the girl’s body.

His brother completely broke down, holding the girl’s body and weeping uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, a trace of bewilderment crossed Yang Xiaotu’s dead eyes.

Perhaps, this time he had truly made a mistake?
