Chapter 809: Chapter 806: Accidentally Entering the Filming Set
Thus, Xiao Tian’s act of wandering around with the intention of finding a trace of Melinda was indeed somewhat fanciful, the idea of striking it lucky.
However, at that moment, a timid yet startled voice came from the dense forest nearby: "Don’t, don’t come any closer, I’ll scream for help if you do!"
Right after those words, a coarse voice followed: "Heh heh! Go ahead and scream, see if anyone can come to save you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian curiously stepped into the nearby dense forest and soon saw five men and one woman in an open area, with the five men continuously approaching the woman.
The woman’s figure was curvaceous and alluring, her almond-shaped face adorned with phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and enticing red lips, emanating an enchanting aura.
Additionally, the vermilion mark on her forehead added a touch of sanctity, irresistibly drawing one’s gaze.
After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Tian confirmed that these were ordinary people without True Qi, and thought that these people were likely shooting a movie, deciding to leave the scene.
But at that moment, the group had already noticed him, the five men displaying anger, while the charming woman suddenly looked delighted.
"Sorry, I just happened to..."
Just as he was about to explain that he had accidentally stumbled onto the "film set", the woman pointed at him and said: "My boyfriend has arrived, if you know what’s good for you, get lost quickly!"
"Ha..."
This one sentence indeed stunned Xiao Tian, making him look at the woman with new eyes; her ability to quickly adapt on the spot and her improvisation skills proved she was indeed a talented actress!
Nonetheless, despite his admiration, Xiao Tian was not interested in indulging in such drama, so he promptly said: "Sorry, you can cut this scene, I’m just a passerby, carry on!"
This time, it was the five men who were stunned. Could this guy be insane?!
However, Xiao Tian had only walked a few steps when he sensed a fragrance attack him, and then his entire arm was enveloped by two soft mounds.
Turning his head, he saw the woman’s angry yet shy face: "Are you just going to watch your girlfriend be bullied like this?!"
Feeling the softness on his arm and the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but be surprised. The sacrifice was a bit much, wasn’t it?!
Given such circumstances, Xiao Tian thought it wouldn’t hurt to appear on screen just once, and immediately grasped the woman’s delicate hand, walking up to the five men and loudly declaring: "I’ll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight!"
Without a script, Xiao Tian was obviously improvising a line, but he thought it was suitable for the occasion.
Upon hearing Xiao Tian’s words, the five men’s faces turned angry, and the leader stepped forward aggressively, shouting: "Kid, you’d better not act like a hero, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
With that said, a cold gleam suddenly shone in Xiao Tian’s eyes, reflecting on the dagger in the man’s hand.
Xiao Tian’s gaze immediately changed—was this a real dagger?!
This appearance instantly alerted Xiao Tian to something amiss; if the film crew used real knives and guns, even if the director was wealthy, they couldn’t afford the risks.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian closed his eyes, Perception Power extended clearly, and confirmed that there was no crowd gathering within fifty meters, affirming that this group was genuinely composed of thugs.
His gaze shifted to the woman who constantly clung to his arm, examining her, and upon noticing the sword she carried, his gaze became fixed!
The phoenix carved into the sword hilt was exactly the design he had created for Ji Dantong. If this were a coincidence, it would be implausible.
Because it was indeed a spur-of-the-moment creation by Xiao Tian, inspired by a weapons manual he had read, and seeing it here made the identity of the enchanting woman quite suspicious.
Realizing she might have connections with Ji Dantong, Xiao Tian immediately decided, clasping his hands in respect: "A hero truly among people, I humbly take my leave."
With that, Xiao Tian turned and walked away.
The thug holding the dagger, although sensing something odd in Xiao Tian’s words, still found him apparently tactful.
However, while Xiao Tian wanted to leave, the woman held onto his arm tightly, determined to follow him wherever he went.
At this point, Xiao Tian was genuinely displeased. If she was a typical woman, he would gladly lend a hand, but the fact that she clearly could handle the situation yet chose to use him instead frustrated him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian exerted a little force, sending the woman tumbling back, eventually falling to the ground, appearing pitiful and delicate.
Xiao Tian couldn’t help but be surprised; if it weren’t for seeing the weapon at her waist, he might have believed she was an ordinary woman.
While Xiao Tian noticed no True Qi fluctuations in her, nor did he understand how she obtained the sword from Ji Dantong, he decided to remain a bystander for the time being.
As those five men genuinely attempted to harm her, Xiao Tian didn’t believe she could remain passive; questioning her later wouldn’t be too late.
Yet Xiao Tian’s plans fell through once more—the instant the five men approached the fallen woman, a dwarf-like figure suddenly appeared, looking extraordinary, akin to a modified Biohuman.
Xiao Tian squinted: "Isaac?!"
The dwarf intended to reprimand his subordinates for being inefficient but heard someone reveal his identity, looking pallid under one glance, nearly collapsing in fear.
"Hun-hunter..."
A stammering Isaac was indeed scared to the point of tears: "What are you doing here?"
Before Xiao Tian could speak, the woman on the ground, like a drowning person clutching a life-saving straw, sprang up and once again clasped Xiao Tian’s arm relentlessly.
Seeing this, Isaac appeared as if struck by lightning, nearly kneeling to beg for mercy.
His glance darting, he perceived Xiao Tian seemed disinterested in taking action, and cautiously retreated two steps without obstruction, vanishing instantly, fleeing in panic!
At this moment, the five thugs were left speechless, unable to utter a word. They had witnessed Isaac’s prowess, but he retreated after briefly appearing, even addressing that young man as Sir?!
Considering this, the dagger-wielding man decisively knelt without hesitation, pleading continuously for mercy from Xiao Tian.
Nonetheless, Xiao Tian had no interest in dealing with them; this was not his concern, yet he found himself inexplicably embroiled in the situation, feeling overwhelmingly frustrated with no outlet for release.
...
"So, what exactly do you want?!" Xiao Tian asked, somewhat helplessly, looking at the woman refusing to let go of her grip on him.
