She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1099 - 905: Super Star 79 (2000)

The so-called jokes of Korea are very much in the Ai Hua style. For example, when Koreans make mistakes abroad, they claim to be Chinese, only to be caught by their compatriots who test them with the language and make them embarrassed. Filming this in Korea itself is actually a form of satire.

Another example, Koreans have shamelessly been claiming Chinese history as their own. Chinese netizens can’t help but scold: "Do you Koreans have no shame?"

Korean netizens responded boldly: "Who are you trying to scare? We’ll tell you Chinese, we Koreans are best at plastic surgery, why would we be afraid of having no face?"

A series named "Descendants of the Sun" made Chinese fangirls swoon, causing Chinese men to sit up and retort.

"What’s so great about ’Descendants of the Sun’? We Chinese men are descendants of Hou Yi."

...

Based on these jokes, and with the addition of Ning Hao’s cameo, the short video was thus created. Then, by using Korean sports black history found online and satirizing it with characters, there was plenty of material to use. After all, the online battles between the two countries’ netizens have never ceased.

Whether it’s sports, cultural relics, festivals, art, Korean medicine vs. Traditional Chinese Medicine, or the meaning of wreaths, within just a few days, Hua Yan could display them with her strong creativity. Not only did Hua Yan shoot with great zest, but their performances were also powerful. The only concern was Hua Yan’s worry for Molly’s situation.

"Do Koreans watch short videos too? Will it burden you? What if they play dirty tricks?"

Molly seemed unfazed: "It’s no big deal, I can blend in or head back home if not. There are places to study back home. Besides, we’re stating facts, what’s there to argue? Don’t worry about me, shoot boldly. I’m really not scared, with so many of our country’s netizens backing me up. If they dare, I’d dare expose them. And I’m not one to be scared easily. Back in school, I was quite the big shot!"

Seeing Molly so bold, although Hua Yan was a bit worried, she was persuaded. The driver who brought them was also sent off. They scheduled a time for him to pick them up, so there was no trouble for the shoot.

Six days flew by, and the five people were quite tired from playing around, but they completed the tasks exceeding expectations, even filming some food and travel guide videos. However, these videos were not for "Human Truth," but for Molly’s channel. Hua Yan edited them and sent them to Molly, just fine. "Human Truth" only shot skit-based clips, not other promotions.

The reunion of the three inevitably brought some buzz since even though the company’s newcomers had been shooting lately with growing popularity, there were still fans leaving comments wanting to see them shoot since it had been a long time since Ling Yao and Hua Yan made appearances. They wanted to see them together.

To meet fans’ requests, they shot a bunch of skits this time; the edited versions could last till the end of the year.

Before returning home, they bought many cosmetics, clothes, local snacks, and other specialties. During her and Ling Yao’s outing, they also bought some good Korean products, like non-stick pans, which she stored in her space. The items that couldn’t be carried were also stored there, only packing what was openly displayed to take back.

All the clothes bought for Ning Hao were arranged by her, and Hao Hao didn’t refuse. After all, they had long developed a unique understanding, their relationship being incomparable. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Ling Yao wanted to pay up, but Hua Yan refused, believing she was wealthier. Yet unbeknownst to her, Ling Yao had started doing freelance work, earning money monthly, possibly not less than Hua Yan’s book royalties, and the delivery job didn’t last.

On the night of the 6th, with Molly reluctantly bidding farewell, they boarded the return flight; as none of them were first-time flyers, there were no nerves. Even the youngest, Ning Hao, frequently flew between the Northeast and Beijing.

Yet, nobody expected a sudden heavy rain on the return, with thunder and lightning unsettling them, especially since they had never experienced such a thing. Passengers, too, couldn’t sleep and remained anxious throughout, as the plane encountered strong turbulence, scaring Ning Hao to hide in Hua Yan’s arms, almost uttering final words, before being grabbed by Ling Yao.

"Why are you crying? Even if something happens, aren’t we still with you? At worst, we all go together!"

Hua Yan glared at him: "Stop spouting nonsense. Don’t worry, Hao Hao, we’ll be fine."

She felt she shouldn’t be that unlucky, given the mission, how could she fall midway in the sky?

In fact, the whole situation was indeed thrilling but not dangerous; when they finally landed safely, who knows how many clutched their heads and cried on the plane?

Some even swore never to fly again.

Ling Yao didn’t go straight back to school; he planned on returning to Hua Yan’s home, but Ning Hao stopped him.

"That’s inappropriate. There’s space at my place. You’re a guy; how can you stay with my sister? Men and women shouldn’t touch; don’t you know that?"

Ling Yao wanted to say more but was warned by Hua Yan’s glance: "My brother’s right, go to his place, let the child tidy up a space for you. Enough, we’re all tired, stop debating, go home, freshen up and sleep, I’ll make something nice for you tomorrow."

Duan Feifan already took a cab home from the airport, and though his relationship with them was stronger than before, it still couldn’t match theirs, so he sensibly left early.

Back home, Hua Yan tidied up her room first, then washed up and finally found time to sort through her spoils.

The cosmetics alone cost twenty to thirty thousand, which was indeed quite extravagant, but these things wouldn’t spoil and would last her for years.

Molly only let her buy a few thousand’s worth, saying there’d be more chances to come back and even offered to mail her goodies, telling her to use them generously.

But Hua Yan wasn’t thick-skinned enough; she felt comfortable buying and using her own. Using others’ gifts comes with burdens.

On the 7th, everyone slept in at home, and after waking up, Ning Hao hurried to finish the remaining work. He had no choice; academics were demanding, and a seven-day break was already quite good, so for this trip, he was the only third-year junior high student who had to do homework.

Ning Hao had participated in both physics and math competitions in the second year of junior high and won awards, granting him a spot in Four Middle School’s high school department. The school encouraged him to strive further so that in high school, with more honors, he could compete for the direct entry to Qing University and Jing University.
