The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 80

The man in the white sweatshirt made a teasing comment in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. His narrow, fox-like eyes were clear but carried an inherent charm, always seeming to smile when they looked at people.

The man in the green shirt coldly glared at him, "Long legs are impressive, huh? Stinky fox!"

"Compared to some legless reptiles, long legs are indeed impressive." The man in the white sweatshirt retorted without backing down.

The assistant director, who had been quietly listening, suddenly snapped to attention and whispered in the director's ear, "Director, those two seem to be from the demon race."

Demon race?

The director's brows twitched, a sense of foreboding rising in him.

Their directing team had just wrapped up a highly successful variety show, and then Celestial Master Hall had practically conscripted them to guide the filming of this country's first metaphysical variety show.

As the director, she had simply wanted to give Celestial Master Hall some face, so she could call in favors later. But she never imagined that the demon race would be involved, and even worse, just yesterday, someone claimed to be from the underworld!

The director suddenly felt like the world had become fantastical, even absurd, as if she wasn't filming a metaphysical variety show but Journey to the West.

Could cross-time communication really work? And could cross-species communication actually be possible?

She Qingli, wearing a green shirt, adjusted his collar. Noticing all the crew members' eyes on him, he raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Hello, everyone. I'm She Qingli, from the Snake Clan."

"Fox Clan, Hu Yaoyao." The man in the white sweatshirt, Hu Yaoyao, scanned the people around him, his gaze landing on the most noticeable person, Fang Junyan. He flashed a little tiger tooth with a grin, "Hello, short-lived humans."

"..."

Gua Gua watched Hu Yaoyao with a complicated look in its dog eyes. [Host, this fox really deserves a beating...]

They're both foxes, but why is there such a huge difference between them and the Great Fox? No wonder they're just demons, and not immortals!

Yu Yuan lowered her gaze and patted Gua Gua's head, but suddenly felt a scrutinizing gaze from ahead. She looked up just in time to meet Hu Yaoyao's eyes.

He looked her over without hiding anything, studying her for a long while before snorting and turning his head away.

Gua Gua: !!!

[Host! This stinky fox is provoking you!]

Gua Gua saw it all—this stinky fox had sneered at the Host just now and even shot it a contemptuous look!

How dare this stinky fox look down on it!

Yu Yuan didn't mind such childish provocation and signaled Gua Gua to calm down. The familiar sound of engines echoed in her ears, and two more luxury cars drove over through the dust in the distance.

This time, more people got out of the cars—two young people, a man and a woman, along with two elderly figures with all-white hair and beards.

Hua Nan, seeing the two young people, stepped up to Yu Yuan's side and whispered, "Consultant Yu, the two coming behind are Bai Ye from the Hedgehog Clan and Huang Jiuniang from the Weasel Clan."

As for the two old men behind them, they were probably senior figures of the demon race.

The two elderly demon figures walked forward with stern expressions, each holding a small silver ring. Without a word, they placed the rings on She Qingli and Hu Yaoyao's wrists.

She Qingli looked at the silver ring on his wrist and clicked his tongue. "Is this really necessary? We wouldn't randomly hurt anyone, why put this on us?"

Hu Yaoyao, wearing the silver ring on his wrist, turned a deep shade of red, then purple, his face dark with anger, and he didn't want to speak at all.

It was Bai Ye, the usually gentle-looking one, who stepped forward and revealed his own small silver ring. "Our demon race is powerful, and wearing this ring provides assurance for others and also protects us. If, in a moment of impulse, we harm someone... Neither of you would want all your years of cultivation to be wasted now, would you?"

She Qingli froze for a moment when he saw the silver ring on Bai Ye's wrist. "Oh, Bai, you have one too! I thought only the old ones would make us and the little fox wear them!"

Bai Ye smiled and shook his head. "The elders don't play favorites."

"This favoritism..." Huang Jiuniang, walking last, had a seductive figure and looked at the small silver ring on her wrist with a soft sigh. "I do wish the elders could be a little more lenient with me."

Once the two elders had finished putting the rings on She Qingli and Hu Yaoyao, they drove off, and Bai Ye, along with the other three demon race members, had a brief discussion. He then stepped forward to speak with the director.

"Hello, Director. I'm Bai Ye." He extended his hand warmly, and the director, wide-eyed with astonishment, felt both honored and slightly uneasy.

"Hello, hello! Mr. Bai, hello." She shook his hand lightly.

It was probably her first time interacting with someone from the demon race. Even though he had an exceptionally handsome face, she still felt a certain unease.

Bai Ye noticed her slightly nervous demeanor and smiled reassuringly. "When does our show start?"

"Start..." The director turned to the assistant director. "What time is it?"

The assistant director looked down at his watch. "It's just after 8. We have about 40 minutes until 9."

"Alright," the director raised her head and picked up the megaphone, announcing loudly to the entire crew, "Our livestream will officially start at 9:30 AM. For now, everyone take a break where you are, and guests, please take some time to get familiar with the livestream rundown. We'll start prep at 9:20!"

She repeated the same instructions three times. Just as she finished the third round, a chubby, round-faced girl walked over, carrying a stack of papers.

"Master Yu, this is the full rundown for the first episode of Strange Tales of the Supernatural. Please take a look."

The white cover sheet was simple and clean, with only the four bold characters "Strange and Mysterious Tales of the Demon World" printed across it.

Yu Yuan thanked her and took the file.

The episode wouldn't start with guest appearances. Instead, the first ten minutes were dedicated to online viewers voting live on the show's official Weibo. They'd choose one case from ten classic threads originally posted on the "Tulip Emotion Forum" for the guests to solve.

Then the client of the chosen case would appear on set—unless they were unavailable, in which case the show's guests would head to them.
