Fu Yu lowered her eyes and said, "Naturally, there are people who can make God-Inviting Incense, but not just anyone can do it. As for whether it can invite gods, of course it can."
Cen Yan asked, "Then can God-Inviting Incense only invite gods? Does it have any other uses?"
"Inviting gods, dispelling evil, and suppressing ghosts. It's called God-Inviting Incense because only this incense can invite gods. However, inviting gods with it requires a secret technique. If ordinary celestial masters could light some while dispelling evil and catching ghosts, it could prevent many casualties."
He Jingyi said, "I imagine if even Miss Fu Yu can't do it, then no one can, right?"
Ji Nanshu scoffed. "Does someone really think he has a way with words? Not just anyone can make God-Inviting Incense, and even if you can, there are different grades. Better not make some inferior product and invite an evil god. Then you wouldn't be inviting a god, but bringing disaster to the region!"
"If she had the recipe, I'm sure Miss Fu Yu could make it." He Jingyi shook his head in disagreement.
The next second-
Everyone heard Fu Yu deny it. "No, I can't make it."
Embarrassment flashed through He Jingyi's eyes. This woman... what would it cost her to say she could make it?! Did she have to slap him in the face like that?!
This was a livestream. Normally, he would have slapped her to the ground already!
Ungrateful bitch!!
Jian Yuanjia gloated. "Ooh~ did someone's flattery just backfire?"
[What the hell is God-Inviting Incense? In this day and age, they're still spouting feudal superstitions? Seriously?]
[Is this Fu Yu an actress hired by the production team?! God-Inviting Incense? Does she seriously think it can invite gods?!]
[She must be some newcomer the investors shoved in here to launch her career!]
[They said celestial masters use it. Any celestial masters here who can explain? @Celestial Masters Association]
[LMAO, what exactly happened between Jian Yuanjia and He Jingyi? He never misses a chance to mock him.]
[They're rich kids from Hai City, so they probably run in the same circles. Maybe He Jingyi stole Jian Yuanjia's girlfriend before!]
[Maybe he did! Jian Yuanjia is good-looking, but what woman could put up with that temper?! I'd pick a gentle guy like He Jingyi too!]
He Jingyi was getting a little angry now. "Jian Yuanjia, we're on the same team, at least for now. Is targeting me like this really that fun?"
He had thought Jian Yuanjia would rein himself in a little after that. Instead, Jian Yuanjia spread his hands, looking utterly shameless, and said, "It is~ I just love seeing you hate me without being able to do anything about it."
Ji Nanshu even wanted to applaud Jian Yuanjia. Well done!
He Jingyi was no good. He had blood debts; someone had probably died at his hands. As for why he was still doing just fine, it might be because the He Family held quite a bit of power in Hai City.
But that would soon come to an end.
Fu Yu had no interest in whatever grudges these people had. She had gone to such great lengths to bring this production team here because she had divined that someone on it could make God-Inviting Incense.
God-Inviting Incense... had more uses than just those on the surface...
She stared steadily at Ji Nanshu and asked, "May I ask whether you know how to make God-Inviting Incense, Mr. Ji?"
"Nope!" Ji Nanshu blinked. No one could prove he knew how anyway. As long as he said he couldn't, then he couldn't!
Besides, in an age when people no longer believed in gods, what was the point of inviting them? It wasn't as though there were no alternatives for dispelling evil and suppressing ghosts. They might not work as well as God-Inviting Incense, but they were still better than nothing!
"We're only here today to promote Incense Valley Town and its incense."
He sold incense. What did making it have to do with him? ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Only after hearing Ji Nanshu's words did Jian Yuanjia remember they had come today to promote and sell incense. He asked the staff, "How many have we sold?"
One staff member checked the backend data and said, "We've sold 1,036 orders so far."
"...That doesn't seem like much. Can I buy one myself? This osmanthus incense or whatever is pretty refreshing!" Jian Yuanjia decided to pay for one himself. He had money! A whopping three hundred yuan!!
The staff had probably been briefed beforehand, because the reply came very quickly. "You can, but it won't count toward sales!"
"That's fine. It's not much money anyway." Jian Yuanjia didn't care about that little bit of money. The point was promotion anyway, and this episode didn't have a task where failing meant they couldn't eat. He had nothing to fear!
Then he asked about the other team. "How many have Sister Lan and the others sold?"
The staff member ruthlessly refused to disclose it. "No asking!"
"Fine, don't tell me! Hmph!" Jian Yuanjia turned his head away haughtily.
Hmph, Director Yang gave them living expenses this episode anyway! They definitely wouldn't starve!
After hearing some introductions to Incense Valley Town, they decided to find somewhere to have lunch. After lunch, Ji Nanshu planned to go back for a nap. A certain bastard really wasn't human! He had promised just once, then gone back on his word!!
Sure enough, Chu Mo's mouth was full of lies!
Pah!
Naturally, wherever Ji Nanshu went, Chu Mo followed.
A fully automatic follower, model: perfectly devoted boyfriend.
Jian Yuanjia and Cen Yan wanted to keep exploring Incense Valley Town for inspiration and promote it some more along the way.
As Bai Nanyu's fiancé, He Jingyi naturally had to go back and find his little fiancé in front of the cameras.
When they returned to their lodgings, Bai Nanyu and the other three had just finished eating.
Whether Bai Nanyu had forgotten the pain once his wounds healed or felt emboldened by He Jingyi's presence, he approached Ji Nanshu again as soon as he saw him. Seemingly in an excellent mood, he smiled brightly and said, "Third Brother~ Brother Jingyi~ Teacher Chu~ why are you back so early? How's your incense selling?"
Ha, it definitely wasn't selling well! Why were they even promoting something hardly anyone liked? Wouldn't promoting luxury perfumes be better? This cheap junk had no class. What was there to promote?!
Ji Nanshu didn't spare him so much as a glance, passing him as though he were air. He quickened his pace and headed straight for his room, slamming the door shut before Chu Mo could enter, then locking it.
Ha, bastard. Who needed sleep?! With all that energy, he should go plow the fields! Eighty or a hundred mu of them! Work the bastard to death!
Shut outside, Chu Mo pressed his lips together, looking deeply wronged. The bewilderment in his eyes was so obvious that the livestream viewers burst out laughing-
[LMAO, did you see Chu Gouzi's face? Hahahahaha, finally someone can keep him in line!!]
[Chu Mo: Clearly, I don't know why I've been locked out either!]
[Ji Nanshu, that little flop, is so rude, isn't he? Locking a senior out like that. I was neutral, but now I'm a hater!]
[Hahahahaha, he deserved to get locked out!!!]
[Mistress Ji, did your mom die?!]
Bai Nanyu and He Jingyi, who had witnessed the whole thing from nearby: ...They hated Ji Nanshu, but why did seeing Chu Mo locked out feel kind of satisfying?
Dizzy and bleary-eyed. So sleepy.
