Although due to racial issues, Jian Sheng's growth period was extremely long, she always maintained the appearance of a child, and even her personality was somewhat childlike.
But her many years of experience were not fake. While she still maintained a clear and pure childlike heart, she knew what she should know.
Her innocence and playfulness were simply because this kind of mindset was more suitable for her growth.
After truly accepting her mother and family in this life, Jian Sheng decided to live a stable life in this world normally and take good care of her mother in this world.
After all, she had occupied the original body.
Although the original body had long drowned and died, if she had not come, according to the original plot's direction.
Her mother would have wept tears all day long. Even with the comfort of her scumbag father, the death of the original body had become a thorn in her mother's heart.
Now that she was here, whether it was reluctance to give up this bond, or to repay the karma with the original body, she did not want her mother, or even her scumbag father, to be the same as in the original story.
She did not want their endings to be as tragic as in the original story.
And since she was going to live here for decades, she would inevitably show some unusual traits.
The not-so-pleasant memories from her time in the cultivation world made her deeply aware of what an anomaly would face in a normal human world.
Therefore, between being discovered and being suspected, and proactively and gradually displaying her extraordinary nature and testing others' reactions, she chose the latter.
Just as she had done multiple times when she secretly sneaked into the secular world.
The only difference from before, perhaps, was that people nowadays believed more in science.
However, with precedents like Master Lou, she believed that the upper echelons of society here were still somewhat aware of these supernatural powers.
This was just an initial probe. How she would behave later would depend on how these people treated her.
After the incident of accidentally eating too much, Jian Sheng thought of these things.
However, even though she was prepared, Jian Sheng found herself still a little nervous.
Deep down, she was still somewhat afraid of being treated as an anomaly, of being suspected and rejected.
The little girl, carved from jade and painted with exquisite beauty, had a conflicted expression, her arms like tender lotus roots clasped behind her back.
But no matter how harmless the little loli in front of them appeared, the two awkwardly lying pieces of wood on the ground indicated to everyone present what they had just witnessed.
The smooth, mirror-like cross-section of the wood constantly demonstrated to them how ferocious the little girl, who looked like an angel, could be when she took action.
At this moment, compared to the intense pressure and deterrence faced by everyone present, it was the viewers watching the screen who recovered faster.
—An axe is too dangerous, not just for a child like you… Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap???
—Is this fake? Is this special effects?
—This must be scripted, right? This must definitely be scripted, right?
—I believe that Sheng Bao, being so small, can lift an axe, and even has naturally greater strength and can help split firewood. Although it's outrageous, I believe it, but to this extent, I really cannot accept it.
—This cross-section, are you sure it can be split by a human?
—Are the current program teams so unscrupulous in order to gain traffic and attract attention?
—Director, you should take a look yourself, what have you arranged?
—Writing scripts and establishing character personas, I can understand all of that. After all, we only like the character personas of our celebrity artists. It's just that the character personas I like at least have no major logical flaws.
—Program team, it's okay if you want to mess around, but can you not make our Sheng Bao pay for your idiotic planning? Our Sheng Bao is still young, please don't ruin her with these exaggerated, attention-grabbing, and obviously fake character personas.
—I always thought the variety show "New Home" was quite realistic, but now it seems it has long since gone bad. Unsubscribing.
—I was won over by Director Hu's calm and meticulous problem-solving approach. I'm sorry, I misunderstood.
On the highway from the county town to Dongle Village, Hu Guangxu sat in the front seat, with a staff member of the production crew standing in front of him.
After a few questions, Hu Guangxu ruled out this staff member's suspicion.
At this moment, the assistant director sitting behind him hurried over.
“Director Hu, it’s not good!”
Hu Guangxu instinctively touched the top of his head. Feeling the sparse but still stubbornly surviving hairs on it, he felt a little more at ease.
“Go ahead, what is it? Did Jian Sheng, that little brat, cause any more trouble?”
The assistant director paused and immediately flattered, “Director Hu, you are still the best. It is indeed Jian Sheng who caused the commotion again, but this time her commotion is a bit too big, and now the entire internet is scolding us.”
“What?”
Hu Guangxu was careless for a moment. He felt his scalp tingle, and a few more strands of hair silently fell.
Covering his chest, Hu Guangxu said to the assistant next to him:
“When we get to the town later, first buy me two bottles of fast-acting heart-saving pills. Otherwise, I’m really afraid I’ll have a heart attack and die someday.”
The little assistant didn’t know what had happened and found Hu Guangxu’s words a bit amusing.
He didn’t expect that the always aloof and strategic Director Hu would be so thoroughly manipulated by a little girl.
After giving the instructions, Hu Guangxu looked at the assistant director again, looking at the fresh strands of hair on his palm with some heartache. After taking two deep breaths, he asked:
“Tell me, what happened again?”
The assistant director gave a wry smile and handed the tablet playing the live broadcast to Hu Guangxu.
“Director Hu, please take a look. If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a great impact on our program’s reputation and credibility.”
At this moment, the barrage was filled with all sorts of doubts and accusations against the program team, as well as numerous comments threatening to unsubscribe. Hu Guangxu was stunned.
“What happened again?”
The assistant director then handed him a mobile phone.
“This is not even the most serious part. Because Jian Sheng just split the wood, many people directly quit the live broadcast and ran to Weibo to post articles denouncing the program team. In just a few minutes, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room dropped by hundreds of thousands, and the topic of Jian Sheng splitting wood on Weibo has already soared to the very tip of the trending list.”
“What the heck?”
Hu Guangxu was completely bewildered.
He had already increased his assessment of the little girl’s attention-grabbing power and destructive capability by several levels, and now he was being told that he had still underestimated her?
In just this short while, the little girl had caused such a big stir for him again?
Also, what the hell was splitting wood?
Could it be that someone else, driven by madness, had asked the little girl to help split firewood?
If that were the case, he felt that the program team deserved to be scolded.
Thinking this, Hu Guangxu took the phone and began to click into the #JianShengSplitsWood# topic.
