Chapter 1716: Chapter 1539: Spirits in Antiques 19

Upon seeing Jiang Kaixin, the director and Mao Boyang immediately called her over. As Jiang Kaixin approached, she could see the features of the Beauty in the cheongsam more clearly, and they were even more stunning up close.

The other party wore a bright red cheongsam with a design of a Phoenix in flight intricately embroidered with golden thread. Such exquisite beauty; Jiang Kaixin thought it a great pity that someone with her looks wasn’t in show business.

Seeing Jiang Kaixin walk over, the director promptly introduced, "Teacher Jiang is here. This is the antique collector Boss Feng. She sponsored our team with two costumes for this production, both genuine antiques."

"Real antiques!" Jiang Kaixin was taken aback. That was quite extravagant; these antiques are precious, and it would be such a pity if they were damaged during filming, not to mention the high compensation cost.

The director saw Jiang Kaixin’s concern and smiled, "Don’t worry, our production is relatively civilized, with no fight scenes, so as long as we’re careful, these two outfits won’t be damaged."

The main reason was that these two outfits were so exquisite that the director fell in love with them at first glance. Moreover, when the show aired, actors wearing actual antiques would be a gimmick.

Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang also liked the two outfits a lot, expressing their gratitude to Feng Shuangshuang several times. Feng Shuangshuang cryptically said, "No need to thank me. If you like them, just take good care of these outfits."

Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and they both went to the fitting room to change into the outfits, which unexpectedly fitted perfectly, as if tailored for them.

The director had initially worried whether Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang’s figures would fit into these outfits, given that no matter how good the clothing was, it was useless if not fitting.

Once they had changed, there were two palm-sized little people on Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang’s shoulders—the Beauty in court attire and the wealthy young man.

The pair bowed deeply to Feng Shuangshuang, full of gratitude for her efforts in finding them owners.

The period drama performed by Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang was, in fact, their past lives. Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang’s past lives had died after jumping off a cliff.

Their biggest obsession before dying was the hope they could be together and not be forcibly separated.

However, their subsequent reincarnations never met until this lifetime. Although they happened to meet again this lifetime, remarkably, they developed feelings for each other once more.

But Mao Boyang’s feelings for Jiang Kaixin were not deep enough to become an obsession, nor did Jiang Kaixin develop a desire to resist an arranged family marriage for Mao Boyang.

Feng Shuangshuang resorted to some methods, weaving their past lives into a script so that these two could perform together and, through a touch of the past, deepen their emotional bonds in this lifetime.

If Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang could successfully be together this lifetime, then the two little spirits, the Beauty in court attire and the wealthy young man, could break free from their obsessions and gain freedom.

If Jiang Kaixin and Mao Boyang couldn’t be together, the two would have no choice but to return to There is an antique shop, waiting for the next opportunity to resolve their obsessions.

However, how long this wait would be remained unknown—perhaps a few centuries, maybe the next millennium, or even thousands of years.

Originally, Feng Shuangshuang was supposed to follow up on this matter, but she had just received a distress call from Ding Yudong, the Minister of the Special Regulatory Department.

Though There is an antique shop existed outside the dust of the world, it could never fully detach from Red Dust, so it always had an agreement with the special government department.

Whenever There is an antique shop engaged with the world, it could never refuse when the special department sought help. As the shop’s owner, Feng Shuangshuang naturally couldn’t refuse Ding Yudong’s plea for help.

Ding Yudong’s current task was to capture a rampaging Drought Demon, which was active at the desert’s edge.

Ding Yudong led over a hundred people there, only to be trapped in the desert. Messages couldn’t be sent out, and people couldn’t escape the desert. Over time, they would certainly die from lack of food and water.

In desperation, Ding Yudong could only take out the name card from There is an antique shop, asking Feng Shuangshuang for help.

The name card from There is an antique shop had two uses: one was finding a bamboo forest, then taking out the card to summon the shop for a direct visit.

Another method was, during a crisis, directly smudge the card with blood, describing the danger faced, so the card would naturally send the message to the owner of There is an antique shop.

If it’s not an immensely dangerous situation, the person holding the card directly calls for help, showing respect to the shop’s owner. This time, Ding Yudong truly had no choice but to call Feng Shuangshuang for salvation.

When Feng Shuangshuang arrived at the desert, the first thing she saw wasn’t Ding Yudong but a massive Barrier.

The Barrier not only shielded all outside information but also blocked information inside, including the presence of Ding Yudong and his team.

This Barrier was extremely powerful, with its primary function being concealment. Not to mention ordinary people—even Mystic Sect members with lower cultivation coming here would simply overlook this Barrier.

Moreover, the Barrier emitted a dense, fierce aura. It seemed the opponent wasn’t just a Drought Demon; their cultivation was strong, and this Barrier was incredibly sturdy—no wonder Ding Yudong and his team couldn’t break it.

Yet, for Feng Shuangshuang, this Barrier was unworthy of concern. She raised her hand and with a gentle wave, created a large hole in the Barrier, stepping inside instantly.

The Barrier behind slowly closed, which Feng Shuangshuang ignored for the time being. She hadn’t found anyone yet, and to avoid alarming the Drought Demon who set the Barrier, it couldn’t disappear now.

Inside the Barrier, Ding Yudong’s group had been without water for three days. Out of necessity, they pitched tents and lay within saving energy, waiting for Feng Shuangshuang’s arrival.

Fortunately, Feng Shuangshuang arrived in a timely manner. Soon after Ding Yudong sent out the distress signal, Feng Shuangshuang had already breached the Barrier and found his team.

Seeing Feng Shuangshuang lift the tent flap and step inside, Ding Yudong was incredulous. He had thought they would endure unknown hardships for a long time, but rescue came before they suffered much.

Ding Yudong sat up excitedly with a face full of gratitude, intending to express his thanks. However, lacking water for too long left his throat as dry as if sandpaper was scraping it.

The airflow as he opened his mouth seemed to stir a rusty taste in his throat, too painful to make any sound.

Feng Shuangshuang waved her hand for Ding Yudong not to speak: "You’ve been without water too long. Don’t talk, drink water first."

This group looked like dehydrated fish, with sunken cheeks and cracked lips with bloody fissures, appearing quite frightening.

Feng Shuangshuang directly summoned a large number of water spheres using Magic, which Ding Yudong’s group immediately seized, awkwardly gulping down large mouthfuls.
