Chapter 196: Chapter 101: Dongqi Province Martial Arts Training Base

The night was enchanting, but a tipsy young woman was even more so.

After two bottles of beer, Qin Rui’s cheeks were already flushed red.

Her pretty face was like a ripe peach, tender and rosy, making one want to take a bite.

Li Xinran reached out and gently squeezed her fair cheek.

She sighed, “Such a good girl. If I were a guy, I’d definitely choose you!”

Hearing her shameless comment, the two men at the table, Zhao Rui and Cao Guannan, couldn’t help but look awkward.

This was an open-air barbecue stall on the street, after all.

From that one action alone, the young men at the next table all glanced over.

“Don’t you let her touch you!”

Zhao Rui leaned over slightly and whispered to Miao Miaomiao beside him.

Miao Miaomiao covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

That one smile held the allure of Bao Si toying with the feudal lords and the bewitching nature of Daji. It was an innate, enchanting charm.

Her Cultivation had progressed recently. Her Charm Immortal Skill was no longer confined to external disturbances of True Qi or deliberate application, but was now integrated into her very being.

With every move she made, a myriad of charms naturally emerged.

This charm wasn’t vulgar or gaudy, but clear, lovely, and elegant, fitting for the ethereal grace of an immortal.

Even Zhao Rui, who also practiced the Charm Immortal Technique, couldn’t help the look of stunned admiration that appeared in his eyes.

Let alone others.

Seeing Miao Miaomiao’s expression, Qin Rui couldn’t help but prop up her chin, pout her lips, and murmur, “If you went to an actor’s audition, Luo Min definitely wouldn’t stand a chance.”

“That’s all you think about all day. What’s so great about being an actor?”

Zhao Rui said, disgruntled.

“You just don’t get it… Sigh!”

Before she could finish her sentence, a few men at the next table exchanged a look. One of them stood up, holding a glass of liquor, and staggered over with a drunken expression.

“Hey beautiful, you wanna be an actress? I’ve got connections. Have a drink with me, let’s get to know each other.”

The man’s arrival made Qin Rui’s delicate brows furrow instantly.

“I don’t know you. And I’m not interested.”

She glared back at him, displeased.

Unfortunately, in the drunken man’s eyes, what she thought was an angry glare looked more like a flirtatious glance.

The man directly pulled over a stool and prepared to sit down.

“Get out!”

Zhao Rui wasn’t about to tolerate him. Hitting on the girls right next to him? It was as if he didn’t even exist.

His words, imbued with Heavenly Demon Illusory Sound, echoed eerily, like a phantom’s voice, instantly occupying the man’s mind.

“Get out, get out!”

The Illusory Sound rumbled, like a clap of thunder!

The man actually lay down on the ground and started rolling like a log.

Seeing this, his companion hurried over to help him up, asking in astonishment, “Are you stupid? Why are you rolling on the ground?”

The man’s eyes were hazy from the drink, and he could no longer remember what he had just done.

Among them, a more sober and perceptive one glanced at the five people in Zhao Rui’s group, who were still calmly eating and drinking. He couldn’t help but whisper, “Let’s go, let’s go. Stop eating.”

After saying that, they hastily paid their bill and left the barbecue stall.

Although this little incident was brief, everyone around had seen it.

They secretly shook their heads.

’As expected, a guy who can bring such beautiful girls out with him must have some skills.’

’The world is just that simple. Possessing a treasure invites trouble. Without the strength to back it up, how could you possibly protect what’s yours?’

“Beautiful women really are trouble. Brother Cao, from now on, let’s just the two of us go out for drinks!”

Zhao Rui said with a light chuckle, shaking his head.

“Who asked you to interfere? I could have handled it myself.”

Qin Rui huffed twice and said defiantly.

“So you don’t need my help with becoming an actress either?”

“Huh?”

Qin Rui’s eyes lit up, and she instantly perked up. A fawning expression appeared on her pretty face as she smiled charmingly at Zhao Rui. “You really have a way?”

“I suppose so. Depends on your performance!”

Zhao Rui let out a mischievous laugh.

As soon as he said that, Li Xinran, who was at the side, said in astonishment, “Are you two arranging a little ’casting couch’ deal right out in the open now? She’s my woman, okay?”

Zhao Rui was speechless for a moment, then lightly tapped her on the head and said, annoyed, “What in the world is your brain filled with all day!”

“I was just kidding. I know you’re not that kind of person.”

Li Xinran giggled mischievously.

“Oh, but I am that kind of person. Tonight, you’re paying for this meal. You figure it out!”

“But I’m not the one who wants to be an actress…”

“Ranran, for my sake, please pay for it!”

Qin Rui hugged her arm, acting cute, and even gave her a peck on the cheek.

“If you gave Zhao Rui a kiss, you could save the money for the meal!”

Cao Guannan interjected unexpectedly from the side.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.

The night passed without incident.

After his major-specific classes the next morning, Zhao Rui called Assistant Wang Ping and explained Qin Rui’s situation.

He also mentioned that he wanted to exchange his own role for a small female part, saying it didn’t matter if it had lines or not.

Hearing his request, the assistant said with a laugh, “I’ll ask Director Wang. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”

A short while later, the assistant called him back, saying he could arrange a role with a line or two.

He also said Zhao Rui didn’t need to give up his spot and jokingly added that all he had to do was come up with a few more songs.

Zhao Rui just smiled, but stated bluntly that he had no interest in acting and decisively gave up the role.

He didn’t want this matter to affect the casting for the shoot.

The assistant couldn’t help but shake his head at this move.

’Talented people really are all this proud.’

’An acting opportunity that so many people dreamed of, and he just gave it up without a second thought.’

After hanging up, Zhao Rui called Qin Rui to tell her about the acting role.

Qin Rui was stunned after hearing the news.

It took her a long moment to process it.

Last night, she had just been a little drunk and was only joking.

She never expected that Zhao Rui would now be telling her it was a done deal!
