The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 40 - 0: Vicious Woman Mu Bai
Chapter 40 - 040: Vicious Woman Mu Bai
The agent didn't understand.
"Waaah... If I can never have such delicious breakfast again, how will I live?" Leng Mengmeng cried loudly.
Jiang Nuo finishes filming = no more gourmet breakfasts?
The agent looked at the meat bun in his hand, feeling as if the whole world had turned dark.
Mu Qiuniang is Jiang Nuo's wife. Once Jiang Nuo finishes his role, he naturally won't return. If Jiang Nuo doesn't come back, his wife naturally won't come back. If his wife won't come, the gourmet breakfasts she made...
With the director's shout of "Action", another day of shooting began for the "Spy Kill" crew.
Mu Qiuniang, who was drawing, sensed something, quickly packed her sketchbook into her backpack, and left the set.
The costume drama "The Princess Isn't Easy to Mess With" was in the midst of intense filming. Today's scene was important: it was an action scene for the female lead, the Princess.
The previous plot had implicated the Princess in a murder accusation, the victim being the "White Moonlight" of the Prince.
In anger, the Prince didn't even give the Princess a chance to explain and wanted to throw her into the dungeon.
Little did the Prince know that once in the dungeon, the Princess was assassinated and had to escape.
In the Prince's eyes, it looked like someone fleeing from guilt, which only made him angrier. Especially after investigating and finding that a renowned Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch from the martial world had "rescued" the Princess.
This Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch was said to have a close relationship with the Princess. Just how close was debated, with each side having their reasoning.
It was unclear whether the Prince was upset about the death of the "White Moonlight" or the Princess's "betrayal", but he dispatched a large squad to chase her down, swearing to capture her.
But, for some reason, the Prince's orders were misinterpreted as: no matter dead or alive!
The Princess was now in danger; whether she resisted or not, the opposing side was out for blood.
And so, the Princess's escape began.
Today's scene was about the Princess being trapped, using her skills to fight the opponents, scaling walls, and escaping amidst a rain of arrows.
To show the Princess's martial arts prowess, using wires was essential, with her descending directly from a three-story building rooftop.
"Zhao Minmin ready—"
With the director's command, all departments prepared themselves.
Zhao Minmin was suspended by wires, now on the rooftop. freewebnøvel.com
The wind blew past her, her black hair fluttered, and her white dress flowed with the breeze, making her look ethereal.
Yet her expression was cold, like frost on a block of ice, sealing within a beautiful and pure Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
"Xuanyuan Sword—"
She shouted, filled with despair and pain, drawing a soft sword from her waist, using her qinggong to leap from the high building to rescue her friend, Lu Feng, who was innocently implicated.
Lu Feng was merely a weak scholar who happened to be connected with her, but was caught and brought here by that despicable Prince to force her to appear.
The Princess had loved the Prince; the deeper the love, the deeper the hate. The meeting that was so beautiful, now she cursed the heavens for letting her meet him.
The Princess came from the General Mansion, having followed her father, the General, to war from a young age.
It wasn't until two years ago that her father suddenly realized his daughter was of age, and hurriedly brought her back to the capital, wanting to find her a good husband for a lifetime of happiness.
But damn it, she was unfamiliar with the capital having just returned; unlike those sheltered young ladies hidden away from the world, she didn't fit in.
Just then, the Prince appeared, not just resolving situations but looking at her without the disdain or contempt others had.
The Princess inexplicably developed a fondness for him.
Later, during the Lantern Festival, a beautiful "chance meeting" made him settle in her heart.
As the Princess rushed downward, she recalled those beautiful memories, the more she remembered, the more she hated herself for falling so easily, otherwise she wouldn't have been deceived by this hypocritical man.
He clearly had someone else in his heart, so why didn't he reject her? He clearly promised to marry her, yet repeatedly deceived her? Even not believing her?
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the staff below: "Ah..."
Some even covered their eyes in fear.
Among them, Zhao Minmin, who was performing well, suddenly had the wire behind her break, making her plummet like a metal ball straight towards the ground.
Zhao Minmin's face turned deathly pale: "Ah..."
Then, with a "bang", she fell onto the safety mat below. The staff guarding the mat finally let out a breath, wiping non-existent sweat from their foreheads: My god!
Thankfully, this young actress wasn't hurt, or they'd be in big trouble!
"Minmin, are you okay?" Her agent rushed up in panic, his face white as a sheet.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you to check the props carefully? What the hell is going on?" the director cursed.
Zhao Minmin's other agent, also her brother Zhao Wencai, was even more infuriated, stomping his feet: "You're treating a life like it's nothing?! If I hadn't prepared extra measures, my sister falling from such a height, would she survive?"
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation!" the director exclaimed, startled.
Zhao Minmin wasn't just the lead in this film, but was reportedly also closely connected to the film's main investor.
Damn!
If something happened to her, would the film still continue?
"It better be like that!" Zhao Wencai gritted his teeth fiercely.
Mu Bai stood watching from a distance, inwardly resenting: This damn Zhao Minmin really has some luck, falling like that and still not dying!
If she'd known it would come to this, she should have...
Liu Yuxi quietly approached her, worriedly saying: "Bai, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
"What does it have to do with me? She fell by herself, I didn't push her. If it were me, do you think she'd still be alive?"
"Bai..." Liu Yuxi's worry deepened.
Mu Bai didn't want to talk to her anymore. Seeing the director investigating the culprit, she figured the filming wouldn't continue, so she left without a word.
Thus, when a director found clues leading to Mu Bai, they discovered she'd "intentionally" been absent without notifying anyone, and even her agent didn't know where she had gone.
The director angrily berated Mu Bai's agent: "Are you useless? You can't even keep tabs on your own artist!"
"Damn it! Don't you know what your artist did?!"
"She dared to endanger a life, what can't she do? Comes and goes as she pleases, does she even respect me?"
"Enough, no more nonsense, I will use legal means to protect everyone's interests. Your artist should get ready to face the consequences..."
