This Female Celebrity Comes from the Cultivation World

Chapter 62

A crow was continuously carrying things in its beak and dropping them on the steps at the entrance of the hotel. Many small objects had already piled up on the steps.

The poster added four arrows and an arrowhead next to the words.

Culprit → Crow

Not only was it written precisely, but the screenshot was also very vivid.

Judging by the look of the hotel, it seemed they were planning to put up this poster at the entrance to explain where this pile of things came from to passersby.

Perhaps they had never seen a crow stealing things and then returning them before, so everyone reacted with great curiosity, and more and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Song Jixing carried her suitcase and went straight to the car from the hotel's side entrance.

When putting her luggage in the trunk, Song Jixing's eyes glanced at the treetops and saw the crow perched up there.

Today's crow was very quiet, as if it was not the same bird as the noisy one last night.

Song Jixing closed the trunk door and prepared to get into the passenger seat.

The crow also flew down to Song Jixing's side, wanting to get in with her.

Song Jixing made a flicking gesture and the crow flew away as if very hurt.

It walked a few steps on the ground, unwilling.

Xiao Wang went back to the hotel to get the things he left behind. When he came running back, he happened to see the crow standing next to the car door. His eyes lit up.

"Ms. Song, a crow! Everyone was saying today that the crow who stole things is very smart. This crow also looks quite smart!" Xiao Wang exclaimed as he got into the car.

"Well, there are many birds smarter than crows!" Song Jixing added, not leaving any face for the bird outside at all.

After both sides of the car doors closed, the driver started the car and drove away from the film and television city with the two people.

The crow flapped its wings trying to chase them, but could only get a beak full of exhaust fumes.

It could only chatter on the asphalt road where the car had departed, grumbling a few words, "Bad woman!"

Although her scenes were finished filming, Song Jixing still needed to come back to do voice dubbing for the movie and help the crew with promotions.

It was Song Jixing's first time acting in a big production. Her agent, Xu Kai, was overjoyed. He immediately booked a table at the hotel restaurant and asked Song Jixing to go eat.

At the dinner table, Xu Kai ordered a lot of dishes and asked Song Jixing about whether she was eating well at the crew.

Song Jixing also responded with a few words. In the time Xu Kai went out to use the bathroom, when he came back his whole demeanor had changed.

"Hey, hey, isn't your hotel called Jia Ming? It's trending!" Xu Kai gleefully took out his phone and handed it to Song Jixing.

Song Jixing and Xiao Wang looked over to find it was a photo of their hotel entrance, captioned:

"The crow of the film and television city stole several catties of props from the crew early this morning at 4 am, and confessed...at the gate of the Jia Ming Hotel in the film and television city."

There were several close-up black and white security camera pictures of the crow carrying a bunch of things flying back, the pile of stuff, and some screenshots of crew members discussing.

The Weibo post was from a Big V's account. The comments below were even more interesting.

Xu Kai's face was filled with excitement: "The crow at your hotel must have turned supernatural!"

Thinking of the crow they ran into when they left, Xiao Wang said, "It did seem quite smart. We saw one today too when Ms. Song and I were leaving, staring at us moving stuff the whole time. Don't know if it wanted to take the chance to steal anything."

Xu Kai took his phone back from Song Jixing and marveled, "There sure has been quite a few similar news stories lately. I thought some MCN company was trying to promote an account at first, but now it doesn't look like it!"

"Animals today are all learning to be crafty, imitating human behavior!" Xu Kai said, then his tone changed, "Oh right, I heard a director recently wants to shoot an animal-related drama, also in Y City. Why not go try out for it?"

Even if it was an animal as smart as that crow, Song Jixing had no interest. Movies nowadays had a lot of editing and clever animals on screen often relied heavily on special effects.

When animals developed their own minds, they always tried to mimic what humans did, and those things could be good or bad. Human restrictions and rules did not apply to them.

Take that thieving crow for example. Judging from the evidence, it had been committing crimes for a long time. It suddenly reformed itself now only because someone grew suspicious and it was afraid of getting caught.

So it hurriedly dumped the things it stole somewhere, with no intention of admitting wrongdoing, and would likely offend again in the future.

If more and more creatures awakened intelligence in the future, it would surely become a problem.

After all, the numbers of supernatural clans over there were also quite massive.

When new powers emerged, new orders were needed to maintain life.

The mortal world had its good in being the mortal world, the cultivator world had its good in being the cultivator world. Song Jixing was quite fond of both, yet both also had their own downsides.

Over there, many cultivators looked down on mortals, and supernatural beings randomly massacred mortals. Even mortals themselves would fight brutally for the sake of gaining opportunities for cultivation.

Thinking of this, Song Jixing sighed.

After lunch, Xu Kai sent Song Jixing to the steel factory area.

As her agent, Xu Kai was more or less disdainful of Song Jixing's new residence, as with the previous one.

The previous one, although still relatively convenient transportation-wise, Xu Kai felt the old, crowded compound was unpleasant and a crazy fan could greatly impact things if they ran into one.

As for Song Jixing's new compound, it couldn't just be described as old and run-down. It was remote!

Straight-up twenty kilometers outside the Fifth Ring Road, follow the overpass and it'd reach another city!

Aside from remoteness, it was desolate. From what he saw last time he was there, only a few households seemed occupied in the compound, like a ghost town.

That was what Xu Kai thought last time.

But after driving in this time, seeing people digging up and landscaping the greenbelts lining both sides of the road, one after another, the large scale of hustle and bustle made him unable to help commenting: "Your compound's property management sure is generous, hiring so many people to work on the greenery! It can't have been cheap!"

Song Jixing looked at the vegetable gardens outside. Indeed, it was not cheap.

Because the food expenses were too high, she simply contracted out the surrounding land and had her martial siblings grow some vegetables for themselves there, living frugally and saving every bit possible.

Xu Kai parked the car at the gate of Song Jixing's villa. He immediately opened the trunk to help Song Jixing carry her luggage.

Huoling'er held a ball in her hand, bouncing along happily with Kong Daniu in the yard.

Putting down Song Jixing's suitcases, Xu Kai looked at Huoling'er in the yard. He strangely felt she looked familiar but couldn't remember where he'd seen her.

"Your roommate's kid? Or your friend's?" Xu Kai asked.

Recently he found out Song Jixing was co-renting with a group, supposedly people from the same sect.

Originally Xu Kai was somewhat worried about Song Jixing's safety, but after seeing the looks of some sect members he instantly let down his guard.

They could make more money than robbing a bank.

"We're raising her together!" Song Jixing said.
