Chapter 19: The Film Emperor Dad Who Was Sacrificed in the Entertainment Industry…

Jiujiu retreated into his little nest, with only his bottom exposed, silently chanting in his heart for Daddy to come quickly and save his little one, boohoo.

“Your Royal Highness, you should know that the Emperor descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. Your previous actions interfered with the Emperor’s tribulation, which was truly willful.”

Upon returning, Jiujiu was still a little scared to see this fierce Judicial Star Lord, but now, hearing what he said, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He crawled out, flew up to a similar height, and began to scold.

“What do you mean by tribulation? It’s clearly everyone else bullying my daddy!”

“The Emperor encountered a bottleneck during his cultivation and precisely needs such experiences to temper his mind.”

“I don’t care! I just want my daddy! If you don’t let me go find Daddy, I’ll starve myself to death!”

Jiujiu lay there motionless, his claws twitching dramatically, occasionally peeking at the Judicial Star Lord with his beady eyes, confident that the Star Lord would feel sorry for him.

“Boohoo, Jiujiu is so miserable. Judicial Star Lord doesn’t care about Jiujiu at all.”

The little fat bird, who couldn’t shed tears, wiped away non-existent tears with his wing, making the Judicial Star Lord feel a bit helpless. He took out a handkerchief, walked over to him, and let him wipe himself.

Everyone in the Heavenly Palace knew that the little prince was a bit pampered and willful, spoiled by the Emperor.

However, compared to other divine beasts who would practically tear down the heavens, a little bird was simply well-behaved and adorable.

Moreover, in the past, when the Judicial Star Lord was undergoing his tribulation, Jiujiu had also gone to find him and helped him a great deal.

“Who said I don’t care about you? You can accompany the Emperor from the sidelines, but you are not allowed to cause trouble. If you can do that, I’ll let you go.”

The Judicial Star Lord reached out and helped Jiujiu tidy his messy feathers.

The Phoenix clan was annihilated protecting all living beings, leaving behind only this one egg, unsure if it would survive.

If the Phoenix clan were still here, this little prince could be even more unrestrained.

“I didn’t cause trouble! Star Lord, don’t slander a good bird.”

As soon as Jiujiu heard him compromise, he immediately flew onto the Judicial Star Lord’s shoulder, stood firm, and pecked his face hard.

“I’ve witnessed all of the Emperor’s tribulations. Do you still dare to say you didn’t cause trouble?”

“Jiujiu didn’t!”

Besides pecking a few people, scratching the male lead, and throwing coins at him, Jiujiu did nothing else.

“If I catch you messing around this time, you won’t be able to go again next time.”

Jiujiu perfunctorily waved his wings, saying goodbye to the Judicial Star Lord. After flying two steps, he flew back. The Judicial Star Lord, who was about to tidy up the bed for the little prince, saw this and asked:

“Does Your Royal Highness have anything else?”

“Star Lord loves Jiujiu the most! Can you send Jiujiu to my daddy when he’s a bit older, and find me a suitable identity to replace, okay?”

After Jiujiu finished speaking, he saw the Star Lord frowning, seemingly unwilling to agree, so he wiped away non-existent tears with his wing again.

“Jiujiu was so miserable when Daddy was little, couldn’t even get food, Jiujiu got thin from hunger.”

The Judicial Star Lord rarely acted with personal bias in his dealings, but it was different with the little prince. After a long period of contemplation, he said:

“Just this once.”

As long as it was just this once, Jiujiu didn’t care about the details. He nodded vigorously and first watched his daddy’s childhood tribulation with the Star Lord.

In this world, his father was born into a good family, all teachers, with strict household rules. But his father, on the other hand, fell in love with the entertainment industry.

At the cost of breaking ties with his family, he entered the entertainment industry after graduating from university, starting from scratch as a newcomer.

Shen Yijing, who had no background, excelled due to his talent and successfully carved out his own niche. At the age of thirty, he starred in a sci-fi film.

At that time, there were hardly any good sci-fi movies in China, and such films required a lot of investment. So, the director at the time finished the movie despite everyone’s disapproval.

After its release, the film received very positive feedback both domestically and internationally. At the age of thirty-two, Shen Yijing received his Best Actor award, becoming a well-deserved Film Emperor.

Under normal circumstances, he should have reconciled with his parents after achieving success in his career, enjoying both family and career prosperity.

However, at the age of thirty-five, he was arranged by his company to star in a TV series. In this script, he played an Villain Emperor, the Female Lead was his concubine, and the male lead was a general who wanted to overthrow him.

The male and Female Leads in this TV series were also the male and Female Leads in that world.

The male lead’s persona in the entertainment industry was exactly the same as Shen Yijing’s. With a dazzling Shen Yijing in front of him, he simply couldn’t make a name for himself.

Furthermore, several scenes between the Emperor and the Female Lead in the script made the male lead, Chang Sheng, extremely jealous.

After filming ended, a rumor suddenly emerged that Shen Yijing had deliberately sexually harassed a newcomer during filming. The Female Lead, Su Ru, did not respond, and everyone assumed she was a newcomer who dared not offend the Film Emperor.

Coupled with a few misleading photos, dirt was thrown on Shen Yijing.

Because Su Ru was young at the time and appeared innocent, no matter how Shen Yijing clarified, others still thought he was quibbling.

Shen Yijing worked too hard when he first entered the entertainment industry, with irregular diet and rest. Coupled with the great impact of this scandal, his parents forced him to withdraw from the entertainment industry.

Without Shen Yijing, who had a similar persona, blocking his way, Chang Sheng and Su Ru used that incident to gain significant popularity by playing the victim, and both thrived in the entertainment industry.

After Jiujiu and Judicial Star Lord finished watching this plot, his claws were already stiff with anger.

“Star Lord, why are they so disgusting and still get to be the protagonists? Why don’t you tell whoever is in charge of this not to pick them as protagonists, and pick Jiujiu instead?”

“Jiujiu has already thought of a name! It’ll be ‘The Most Handsome, Cutest, and Invincible Little Jiujiu in the Whole World!'”

The Judicial Star Lord helped him loosen his claws. It was almost time for the little prince to enter the new world. Before sending the little prince off, his usually serious face carried a rare hint of a smile.

“All of these were specifically instructed by the Emperor himself. He deliberately chose such a world to temper his mind.”

It’s just a pity that with Jiujiu there now, it’s probably going to be the Emperor slapping these protagonists in the face.

“Alright then.”

Hearing that it was his daddy’s specific request, Jiujiu had no objections. He flapped his wings twice and flew into the new world.

In this world, he didn’t suddenly appear like in the last world, but instead replaced a chick during the filming of that TV series.

The original chick was kicked by Jiujiu’s claw to reincarnate, imbued with the spiritual power of a phoenix, ensuring it would go to a good family in its next life.

Jiujiu wasn’t very satisfied with the identity of a chick, but as long as he could get close to his father, he wasn’t such a picky bird.

When Shen Yijing finished removing his makeup on set and was about to leave, the prop master handed him an egg, saying it was for filming next week.

Having filmed so many shows, it was the first time Shen Yijing had ever had a prop handed directly to him.

The Villain Emperor in the script liked raising chickens, especially newly hatched chicks.

The screenwriters in their crew liked to write such contrasting elements, for example, a ruthless killer and an innocent child.

In this script, it was a bloodthirsty and brutal emperor with a fluffy creature who knew nothing.

Shen Yijing casually put the egg into his bag and returned to the hotel with his assistant. That night, after showering, he was sitting on the sofa reading the script when he remembered the egg and decided to take it out to look at it.

As soon as he placed it in his palm, before he could examine it closely, he felt the egg move.

Shen Yijing’s body stiffened. He wondered if he was hallucinating because he had been too tired lately. How could such a coincidence happen, that it would move as soon as he got it in his hand?

Jiujiu, who was almost suffocating inside, seemed to sense his daddy’s thoughts and quickly kicked the eggshell hard with his claws.

What a broken eggshell, why is it so hard!

If he had known it would be so hard to get out, he would have made full use of the chick and had it peck open the eggshell for him before leaving.

This time, the eggshell was almost kicked away by what was inside. Shen Yijing could no longer deceive himself that it was a hallucination. He took a clean towel and spread it on the sofa.

Jiujiu originally didn’t want to use his beak. He felt that if he pecked open such a hard eggshell, his mouth would definitely hurt.

But his claws simply couldn’t kick it open, and his daddy didn’t help him break the eggshell from the outside. Jiujiu could only, with a belly full of reluctance, start pecking little by little.

Shen Yijing subconsciously picked up his phone, which was placed beside him, intending to record this astonishing scene.

Jiujiu pecked for a long time before finally making a hole. He wanted to stick his beak out to enlarge the hole and forcefully peck away the broken eggshells.

Since his daddy wasn’t helping, the hardworking Master Jiujiu could only retract his beak and grind it, trying to peck the eggshell as neatly as possible.

He and his daddy had watched a cartoon together, and the chick with the eggshell on its head looked quite cute. He wanted to leave a good impression on his daddy in this world.

Shen Yijing recorded for about an hour, and Jiujiu finally pecked out a perfect hole, sticking his head out with the eggshell on top.

As soon as he came out, he met his daddy’s gaze. Under Shen Yijing’s curious and somewhat surprised gaze, Jiujiu happily ran out and shouted:

“Daddy!”

The clear, sweet little voice sounded very pleasant, but Shen Yijing suspected he was hearing things and stared wide-eyed at the little yellow chick.

“Daddy, why aren’t you paying attention to me?”

Shen Yijing had indeed heard of imprinting before. Most birds, after hatching, would consider the first bird they saw as their mother.

But he didn’t expect this principle to apply to chicks as well.

If it was due to imprinting, then…

“Shouldn’t you call me Mommy?”

Jiujiu, who was bouncing with excitement, was stunned when he heard his daddy’s words, but quickly recovered.

He stretched his neck and leaned close to his daddy, very generously fulfilling his daddy’s small request, and called out in a sweet, childish voice:

“Mommy~”
