Chapter 812: Chapter 430: A Solid Second Female Lead Soon after, a fragrant breeze wafted through. Gu Sheng looked closely and saw a charming woman dressed in white standing before him. Her long hair flowed, her figure was graceful, and her lively eyes were particularly captivating. "Bai Yiyi?" Gu Sheng was immediately taken aback. He hadn’t expected to see Bai Yiyi on the Peacock King’s territory. "What? Surprised?" Bai Yiyi smiled and walked gracefully towards Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng, sitting on the bed, shifted to the side and immediately asked, "Where’s your master Yan Ruyu?" "Tsk!" Upon hearing this, Bai Yiyi rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng, "How could you be like this, just asked about Miss right after seeing me? Such a buzzkill." With that, Bai Yiyi sat directly on the bed, pouting with a look of displeasure. Gu Sheng chuckled, "I’m just concerned about your Miss. How is she?" "Miss is in retreat, don’t know when she’ll come out." Bai Yiyi replied, fiddling with her beautiful hair as if thinking up some plan. "Retreat? Was she injured?" Gu Sheng asked with a slight frown. "She was slightly injured, but it’s fine. With the Peacock King’s help, she’s long recovered. She entered retreat to grasp a more profound ’Dao.’ After saying this, Bai Yiyi turned her head, her eyes filled with tender admiration. "Oh... so that’s it." Gu Sheng and Bai Yiyi’s gazes intertwined, creating a moment of awkwardness. He then shifted his gaze aside. Seeing Gu Sheng’s demeanor, Bai Yiyi became intrigued. Her eyes twinkled with a mischievous light as she casually placed her slender white hand on Gu Sheng’s shoulder. Gu Sheng looked back at her but didn’t refuse. He knew Bai Yiyi was deliberately trying to tease him, so he remained exceptionally calm inside. "You little demon, what are you up to?" Gu Sheng asked expressionlessly. Bai Yiyi didn’t reply but continued to lean closer to Gu Sheng. Her movements were light and filled with seduction, reaching out to touch his chest. Gu Sheng calmly watched Bai Yiyi, as if unsurprised by her actions. "Gu Sheng, you know." Bai Yiyi smiled, her eyes filled with teasing intent. "Oh, got it." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺 Gu Sheng nodded slightly in response. Then, Gu Sheng suddenly lunged at Bai Yiyi with the decisiveness of a cheetah catching its prey. "Swoosh!" Bai Yiyi swiftly stood up, deliberately dodging Gu Sheng’s lunge. Her figure at that moment was like a light butterfly, gentle and lovely. "Hehehe..." Bai Yiyi stood to the side, laughing heartily. "Gu Sheng, are you trying to flirt with me?" Bai Yiyi teased. "No, no, no." Gu Sheng shook his head and explained, "I just wanted you to experience what it’s like to fail at teasing and get teased instead." "You..." Bai Yiyi, with a flirtatious gaze, didn’t expect Gu Sheng to be so direct. "Gu Sheng, do you really like me?" Bai Yiyi suddenly changed her expression, looking at Gu Sheng tenderly. "Bai Yiyi, I..." Gu Sheng seemed a bit hesitant. At that moment, Bai Yiyi’s gaze was filled with intense anticipation, waiting quietly for Gu Sheng’s answer. "Huff..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Bai Yiyi, I like you." Upon hearing this, a triumphant smile appeared on Bai Yiyi’s face. "Gu Sheng, I like you too." Bai Yiyi nodded along. "Tsk! Keep acting... just keep acting..." Gu Sheng rolled his eyes at Bai Yiyi, somewhat speechlessly. "Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Bai Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh heartily. "Gu Sheng, if you were a member of the Demon Clan, I’d definitely marry you, but... sigh, you’re from the Human Clan." Bai Yiyi said as she sat at the nearby tea table, continuing to brew a pot of tea for Gu Sheng. "You have to admit, with your looks and acting skills, you’d definitely land a second female lead role if you applied in Hengdian." Gu Sheng stood up and joined her at the tea table. "Hengdian? Second female lead? What do you mean?" Bai Yiyi asked curiously. To her, some of Gu Sheng’s words and actions were quite intriguing. This was also why Bai Yiyi liked to tease Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng took a sip of tea and lightly patted the table as he explained, "Hengdian is a place where they shoot films, and a second female lead is kind of like a pretty cool woman. Can you understand this explanation?" "I kinda get it, but not entirely." Bai Yiyi nodded thoughtfully. "Well, you don’t need to understand because it’s from another world and unrelated to you. When I genuinely become a great director someday, I’d definitely cast you." Gu Sheng said with a smile. "Director? What’s a director?" Bai Yiyi pressed on. "Umm..." Gu Sheng was a bit speechless, suddenly feeling certain terms shouldn’t be brought up. Because once mentioned, countless questions would arise to resolve. "Never mind, it’s better if you don’t understand. Now, tell me, how did you get here?" Gu Sheng waved his hand as he asked. Though Bai Yiyi was deeply intrigued by the "director" mentioned by Gu Sheng, his explanation made her realize it might be a complicated concept, so she didn’t continue questioning. "After being chased by Ji Haoyue, Miss and I got separated..." Bai Yiyi began recounting her experience. As it turned out, Yan Ruyu had encountered the Peacock King, who brought her here. With the Peacock King’s backing, Ji Haoyue stopped pursuing. Moreover, other Demon Clan members weren’t Ji Haoyue’s targets, so the matter was left unresolved.
