The little demoness exhaled gently, looking extremely thankful and relieved.
...
At this point, Director Zheng, who was watching the surveillance camera footage, already wanted to clap for joy!
Shi Sui's acting skills were excellent as usual.
However, Xiang Yi's performance was really surprising!
The transition of her emotions and expressions from the confusion she felt at the beginning, to the silliness after the Immortal Venerable retracts his sword, was natural and smooth. There were no traces of it being an act at all!
Acting out a scene in an extremely natural manner was actually a tough feat for a newbie actor.
However, Xiang Yi did it!
Besides, since director Zheng only had very low expectations for Xiang Yi, he was even happier now that Xiang Yi had greatly exceeded his expectations!
...
In the frame, the indifferent Immortal Venerable who was dressed in a white robe with large, flowy sleeves, was making his way to the young demoness, one step at a time.
Finally, he stopped in front of the bed.
"Who are you?" The little demoness asked with her head tilted.
"Do you want to know?" The Immortal Venerable's voice was soft and deepen with a trace of inexplicable hoarseness. "Tell me your name before I let you know."
The young demoness warned warily, "Don't get too close to me, or I'll eat you up!"
The man seemed to laugh a little before asking, "How are you going to do that?"
The young demoness pushed him boldly.
Actually, it was impossible for her to take down an Immortal Venerable with her power.
With a strange gaze in his eyes, the man took two steps back and pulled away from her, slightly widening the distance between the two of them. He subconsciously clenched his fists, so hard that his bones could be seen clearly.
...
Director Zheng thought to himself, 'It's no wonder that he managed to win the Best Actor award thrice. This is such a meticulous scene.'
A cold, heartless and ascetic man is naturally bound to have some internal struggles when they develop romantic feelings for the first time.
However, at the same time, he didn't want to hurt the other party.
'Has Shi Sui's acting skills improved again lately? The way he's restraining his affection and devotion is done so perfectly.'
Director Zheng was secretly shocked, thinking to himself that Shi Sui was probably the most deserving actor among the younger generation of actors, to be nominated for international film awards.
...
The Immortal Venerable's actions made the young demoness mistakenly think that he was actually weak and wimpy.
Noticing the blood on the Immortal Venerable's body, she hesitated for a moment, jumped off the bed, and generously patted the bed. "You can sleep here for a while."
"Huh?"
"You're injured, you need to rest." The young demoness tugged his sleeve, gesturing for him to lie down.
The man seemed reserved and austere as he lied down quietly to get some rest with his eyes closed.
There was a rustling movement coming from beside him. The young demoness was curiously touching his sword.
The flying sword that made countless people in the world of immortal cultivation shudder, was actually wielded playfully by the demoness. She even secretly tied the tassel of the sword into a bow.
The Immortal Venerable frowned slightly without stopping her.
After fiddling with the sword, the young demoness developed an interest in the immortal. She first poked his sleeve with her finger before going on to poke his belt.
Her fair and fine wrist was suddenly clutched by a pair of large hands.
"Stop it." The man's voice was hoarse.
"Oh..." The young demoness wanted to retract her hand, only to find that she couldn't move an inch at all. She whispered, "Cut it out."
In response, the man slowly and gently grazed his coarse fingertips against the bone of her wrist a few times.
...
Director Zheng decided to do a close-up for that scene.
His large hand somehow looked extremely strong when wrapped around her wrist.
The staff on the scene were stunned. On the one hand, it was because of Xiang Yi's acting skills, and on the other hand, it was Shi Sui actually didn't show any adverse reactions when he held Xiang Yi's hand1
Well usually, he would throw up on the spot whenever he had any physical contact with other actresses!
Yet, why was he perfectly fine when holding Xiang Yi's hand?
He even seemed....to be enjoying it!
