Chapter 131: There’s Really A Video Now? What The Hell Is This Sense-eating Guest?
Chen Han noticed the three people’s puzzled gazes, but directly ignored them.
Chen Dagou stepped forward and said, “Xiao Han, I already called the police. Just leave this to us.”
“Mm.” Chen Han nodded, not wanting to get involved in this matter.
Mainly, the two Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators and that cauldron with disheveled clothes were too much of an eyesore.
His junior sister caught up with him. “Senior brother, Xiao Mi Jie’s telephone is turned off. Did you see her?”
“She’s over at aunt-grandmother’s.” Chen Han was about to give them the body sculpting ring set exploded from the Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators, and he took his junior sister with him toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall.
Xiao Mi’s ceremony should also be finished.
Xiao Yu followed her senior brother and could not help asking, “Senior brother, do you think what those three people said is true? Look, our Chen Clan has a Feng Shui array. Could there really have been some demon suppressed here in the past, and our Chen Clan has guarded it for generations? Now the Feng Shui array’s energy has overflowed, and the demonic shadows have appeared?”
“Uh!” Chen Han stared at his junior sister in astonishment. “Junior sister, your imagination is getting better and better. Wouldn’t I know myself if it were true?”
“That’s true.” Xiao Yu nodded earnestly.
In the county!
Chen Kai also got word about the incident at the Chen Clan’s side. Their culture and tourism bureau had people stationed over there.
As soon as Ma Qi, who was in charge, received the report, he relayed it to him. “Director Chen, a man and two women were running around the Chen Clan with their clothes in disarray, and then the man’s wife ran into them, and a fight broke out.”
“In the end, the three of them insisted in public that they had seen some demonic shadow in the mountains, and even described in detail long ox horns and several hands or whatever, claiming it stripped their clothes off!”
“Could it be true?” Chen Kai asked this subconsciously, but remembering his position and the need to believe in science, he hurriedly tried to make up for it. “I mean, is it possible they ate some poisonous wild fruit, or were bitten by some kind of insect or something and started hallucinating?”
Ma Qi shook his head. “That’s unlikely. From the video sent back, the Chen Family Head also looked completely confused when he heard what the three said. He clearly didn’t know anything.”
Chen Kai said, “But when the Chen Family Head spoke about believing in science, he was very serious.”
“Uh!” Ma Qi was stunned.
This…
Seems true as well!
…
Chen Han quickly brought Xiao Yu to the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall. At this time, Xiao Mi had just finished the process and had her hair done in the style of a Daoist layman.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu was surprised. “Xiao Mi Jie, you converted and became a lay Buddhist?”
“I think having some faith is pretty good.” Xiao Mi said with a bright smile, secretly glancing at Chen Han.
Xiao Yu did not dwell on this and instead pulled Xiao Mi to sit on the steps outside. “Sister Xiao Mi, I’ve already finished editing the promotional video for the sea of flowers. Let me show you.”
Seeing this, Chen Han took out the sisters’ body sculpting ring set and suddenly held it out in front of them. “Take a look at this?”
“Ah, senior brother, where did this ring come from? It’s so pretty.” Xiao Yu was instantly drawn in.
Xiao Mi’s eyes also lit up. At a glance, the ring had a strong sense of art and was very eye-catching.
Chen Han had already bound the rings, then handed them to the two and started making things up. “I found a box in the storeroom, and this pair of rings was inside it. They both look like women’s styles, and I can’t wear the size, so I thought I’d take them out for you. If you don’t like them, I can put them back.”
“With something so exquisite, how could we not like it!” Xiao Yu quickly said. “I just don’t know if it will fit my finger.”
As she spoke, she tried to put the ring on one of her fingers. It was a bit too loose, and she instinctively wanted to take it off and try another finger, when something surprising happened.
The ring actually shrank on its own, then fit her finger perfectly.
“Huh?” Xiao Yu cried out in shock.
“Xiao Yu, what’s wrong?” Xiao Mi looked at her in confusion.
Xiao Yu stretched out her finger. “This ring, it… it shrank on its own. It didn’t fit just now, and now it fits perfectly. It’s just like a magic treasure in a novel. Sister Xiao Mi, quickly put yours on and see!”
“How is that possible?” Xiao Mi asked in confusion, but still instinctively put the ring on her finger. In the next moment, disbelief appeared on her face.
The ring did not fit at first either, but it also automatically shrank and ended up fitting her finger perfectly.
She subconsciously looked at Chen Han. “This… this is definitely not an ordinary ring!”
Chen Han put on a surprised expression as well. “I only saw it in the storeroom. The box was filthy. I don’t know what’s going on. Just now when I tried it on, not only was the size wrong, but nothing like this happened.”
Xiao Yu immediately said, “Senior brother, this ring is definitely not simple, and the style is obviously for girls, so only girls can wear it. This ring has fate with you but no bond.”
Hearing his junior sister’s imaginative conclusion, Chen Han followed along. “It should be like that.”
Now Xiao Yu was excited. She hurriedly pulled Xiao Mi up. “Sister Xiao Mi, let’s study the rings and see if we can figure out what they do.”
“Okay!” Xiao Mi was also full of anticipation and followed Xiao Yu to study them.
Chen Han knew the rings’ background, so he just watched the two girls try all sorts of things, even dripping blood to recognize the master in the end.
Unfortunately, they studied until dark without figuring anything out.
When uncle called to say it was time to eat, the three of them went to Uncle’s Kitchen.
On the way, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mi treated the rings like treasures. After all, they were definitely magic treasures, they just had not yet figured out their function.
After eating a bowl of food, they heard uncle ask, “Xiao Han, all the peach trees planted on those 10 mu of land have survived without any withering. I don’t know what you plan to plant there. I’ll arrange people to plant it.”
Chen Han had no plan for now, since the spirit field renovation was not yet complete.
So he once again used his talent for making things up. “Uncle, the energy from the Feng Shui array is overflowing into those 10 mu of land with the peach trees. I want to see first if these peach trees can lock in that energy.”
“If they can, those 10 mu might become like the spirit fields in many novels. Whatever is planted there definitely won’t be ordinary.”
These words instantly made everyone at the table’s eyes light up.
Everyone already knew about the family underground Feng Shui formation, so they believed what he said.
If it really could become a spirit field, that would be amazing.
After dinner, Chen Han went back to his room, took a shower, and checked his own stats:
Because of the Chen Clan’s consecration ceremony and the sea of flowers going viral overnight, his Chen Family Head persona had received a lot of new followers. In one go, his followers increased by another two hundred thousand.
Sure enough, they went up a lot again.
Followers: 396 million.
Reputation: （276 million/500,000）
Reputation had also increased. For now there was no need to worry about reputation at all. Money, however, was still far behind.
Money: （8152 million/100 million）
He was still far from the 100 million required for the upgrade. It seemed he had to find a way to earn more money.
Since that President Wang, for the sake of his father’s eyes, was willing to accept the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s enlightenment and donate 10 million to promote the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s teachings, there would definitely be more people willing.
And the Dog Demon Spine Wine also needed to be put to use. For these kinds of incurable symptoms, there would naturally be many people willing to believe in the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation and spread his teachings.
Of course, he could not be too proactive in such matters, or it would look like he was diving headfirst into money.
He needed others to come beg at his door, and beg piously. Only then would it have class.
Otherwise, like that certain major religious tourism area, what mystic sect reputation did they still have? Everyone mocked them for being greedy for money. Many said they were just bald heads on the outside.
This kind of thing needed careful consideration.
Then he checked the news again, and sure enough, he saw another piece of news about the Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators:
《A man and two women with disheveled clothes ran freely in the wind, claiming they met a demonic shadow in the mountains that stripped their clothes off!》
Sure enough, the news media would never pass up such fun. Someone must have posted the video online, and the media saw and reposted it.
The comments under the news video were even more lively:
“Hahaha, this brother knows how to play, just a bit abstract in the head!”
“We met by chance, I saw they were pitiful, decided to sponsor them, ah, I can’t keep making this up…”
“With how skinny they are, they clearly haven’t played any less!”
“I’ve seen excuses, but never seen excuses like this…”
“……”
Obviously, many people who watched the full video understood what had happened and all started mocking them.
What damn demonic shadow, and being stripped by a demonic shadow. Just because the Chen Clan’s stories sound mystical, they thought they could use such a clumsy excuse.
Did they think everyone was a fool?
These people had clearly run into a snake or something, got scared and ran down the mountain, then got caught. In panic they could only spew nonsense.
Let’s see if the police uncles believe them.
At the end of this news video, Chen Han saw that the man, the man’s wife, and the two Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators were all taken away by the police uncles.
And the video’s popularity was very high. This kind of scandalous and shameful yet bizarre news drew a lot of attention.
After finishing the video, Chen Han took out the video he had shot of the heavy demonic shadows on the mountain and began editing. He only needed to change the opening narration this time.
Previously, he had said, “Damn it, the clan reported a special illusion array appearing on Green Luan Peak…”
Now he changed it to, “Traces of Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators appeared in the Chen Clan, so I went up Green Luan Peak to investigate, and unexpectedly discovered a special demonic path illusion array…”
That way, the release of this video would be perfectly reasonable. It was all material gifted by the Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators.
After editing, he directly clicked upload.
There had already been relevant news trending today that mentioned him specifically, so naturally when this video was posted, Douyin’s recommendation system would push it to those who had watched that news video, or related news, and had liked and commented.
So as soon as his video went live, it quickly received a lot of likes and comments at a decent pace.
He really ought to thank those two Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators.
Zhao Sheng had been a participant in today’s event. He and his girlfriend had been filming the Chen Clan’s Martial Arts Field when a naked man and two naked women suddenly ran past.
As a man and a certified lecher, his mind instantly conjured at least ten scenarios for the three of them, ultimately summarizing it in one line: truly know how to play.
Naturally, he filmed everything from start to finish. He had not expected that after he fearlessly posted a Moments update, a news outlet would repost it, and it went viral.
What he did not expect was that, after he showered and came out to scroll Douyin, he saw that Chen Family Head’s video. “Traces of Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators appeared in the Chen Clan, so I went up Green Luan Peak to investigate. I did not expect to find a demonic path illusion array, with so many demonic shadows. It must be the work of demonic path rogues. Watch me wipe out these demonic shadows!”
Watching Chen Family Head waving a branch and dispersing demonic shadows in the video, he was stunned.
Seriously, Chen Family Head, you actually used this material for a video?
At the Martial Arts Field, he had seen Chen Family Head and heard him say it was great material, but he had not expected him to be this fast.
Also, calling them Joyful Union Sect demonic cultivators was too much. Joyful Union Sect cultivators would be deadly. Those two women were only after money, not that extreme.
The key was that the video’s special effects were incredible. Those demonic shadows looked vivid and lifelike. The only abstract part was Chen Family Head using a branch to slay demons.
If that branch were replaced with a sword, it would be perfect.
Online, many people who saw Chen Han’s video and knew the backstory immediately lost it. No one expected the material to be turned into a video so quickly.
At the same time, they were drawn in by the special effects. Chen Family Head’s effects had clearly improved, from the earlier five-cent Cloud Barrier Technique level to these vivid demonic shadows.
“Chen Family Head’s video effects have made a qualitative leap. If the bamboo thing in his hand were changed to a sword, it would be even more realistic. I might even believe he was actually slaying demons. Can someone photoshop it?”
One viewer could not help but comment this. Then he learned just how many talented people there were online. In no time at all, people replied with edited images, replacing the branch in Chen Family Head’s hand with all kinds of long swords.
He now understood why Chen Family Head could make a material video so quickly. The current photo editing and special effects skills were too good.
In Linhe County, at a police station, a man was dragged out by his ear. The woman dragging him snarled viciously, “Just wait till we get home, I’ll break your legs. We’re getting a divorce.”
The man was utterly speechless. Seriously, he swore he had just seen the seafood. He had not even tasted any flavor. This was at most attempted.
But at this point, he could only plead. “Wife, please believe me, nothing happened, there really were demonic shadows!”
He did not want a divorce.
Outside, their best friend saw the woman come out, and held out her phone with a video playing. “Xiao Ling, his mess is on the news now. Even that Chen Family Head made a real video. After losing face like this, hurry up and divorce him when you get back.”
As she spoke, she played Chen Family Head’s video. The man glanced at it instinctively, and then suddenly rushed forward excitedly, pointing at the video as if he had found evidence. “Wife, those demonic shadows in the video, those are exactly what I saw. This Chen Family Head is clearly covering something up.”
Smack!~
The woman slapped him hard across the face. Before he could react, she grabbed his hair and started beating him mercilessly.
“Demonic shadows, right? I’ll show you demonic shadows!”
“Ah…”
…
Chen Han knew nothing about this. Seeing the video’s numbers rising quickly, he was satisfied and took out a spirit stone to cultivate.
He cultivated until the alarm clock rang the next day before opening his eyes and getting up to check the stats. The heavy demonic shadows video already had two hundred thousand likes that morning. The numbers were clearly good.
The key thing was that Ming Di had posted a video as well, and it had quite a lot of likes.
《Damn it, damn those Joyful Union Sect bastards. They ruined everything. The special demonic shadow array I set up on Green Luan Peak was destroyed by Chen Family Head. Those demonic shadows were what I prepared for a long time to rescue the Dog Demon King brothers…》
In the video, Ming Di once again wore smoky eye makeup, looking like a demonic cult rogue, full of grief and indignation at the end.
He clearly understood how to ride the heat now. The likes on his video were almost catching up to Chen Han’s.
After washing up, Chen Han went downstairs, ready to head to the special spiritual aperture. Early this morning there was an unexpected surprise. He had obtained two Moon Gazing Sands, and then the little white rabbit once again performed well and contributed another one.
A total of three Moon Gazing Sands in hand.
Seeing You Fu eagerly lying down at his feet, and even the two Old Oxen waiting outside the courtyard, wanting to go to the special spiritual aperture, he also looked at the rabbits, wondering if going there would benefit them.
He could take one over for an experiment, so he decisively grabbed the little white rabbit and left the courtyard with it, as a reward for its good performance.
The little one looked at him innocently as he carried it, still chewing the vegetable leaf in its mouth.
“All you know is eating. Aren’t you afraid I’ll stew you?” Chen Han chuckled, flicking its little head, then sat on You Fu’s back and left the courtyard.
When they arrived at the special spiritual aperture, his junior sister and uncle had indeed already arrived. He greeted them, sat down, and placed the little white rabbit on his lap.
The spiritual energy rinse activated. A surge of dense spiritual energy instantly enveloped the surroundings, and Chen Han hurriedly ran the 《Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method》 to cultivate.
After opening the second of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the belt vessel, he could clearly feel that his speed of absorbing spiritual energy had increased.
When he opened his eyes, his junior sister and uncle had already left. The white rabbit was crawling left and right on his lap.
He picked up the little white rabbit, then rode back on You Fu to Uncle’s Kitchen to start making today’s medicinal cuisine.
But just after he finished preparing the Green Feather Pheasant Meat and put it into the stew pot to start stewing, he suddenly frowned at the game prompt appearing in his mind:
【Because of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation’s blessing, the Chen Clan’s fame has spread far and wide. Demonic path rogues who came to attack before and after have all failed miserably at the Chen Clan, which has drawn the attention of a protector under the Blood Demon, who has issued a bounty.
With benefits to be gained, more demonic path rogues will naturally set their sights on the Chen Clan. Fortunately, with your foresight, you have purchased information about the demonic path through special channels.
A Devourer of Rumors has already infiltrated the righteous path and plans to strike at the Chen Clan. The Devourer of Rumors is endlessly greedy and utterly shameless in methods!】
Chen Han sighed. Yesterday’s prompt said the Chen Clan’s growing reputation would attract many demonic path rogues. He had not expected them to come this fast.
But could someone tell him what on earth a Devourer of Rumors was?
