Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Premiere Surprise
If it weren’t for the current unsuitable circumstances, Lucienne Xander would have wanted to retort against this Ghost Servant.
Utter nonsense!
Clearly, it only happened once.
And it didn’t even hit.
But right now, she didn’t plan to have a conflict with Scarlett Jennings here, so she could only suppress her temper and say,
"Sorry, I didn’t know she was your Ghost Servant."
"You’re lying!"
Sophie Harper retorted without thinking, "I just said I’m a proper Ghost Servant, and you said you wanted to kill me!"
Lucienne Xander, with a bit of a haughty expression, countered,
"There’s a term called ’a pack of lies,’ how do I know you’re not trying to confuse me with your words?"
As she said this, she looked at Scarlett Jennings,
"I’m different from you; I don’t like having a Big Ghost as a Ghost Servant.
I study Mystical Technique, and when I see a Big Ghost lingering in the Mortal Realm, my first response is to deal with it to prevent it from endangering nearby villagers."
Sophie Harper was almost infuriated to death by these words.
Saying it about her is one thing, but to say it about Scarlett!
Sophie Harper was truly angry now and lunged forward, ready to fight again.
But just as she flew out, her Soul Body was dragged back by Scarlett Jennings.
Sophie Harper quickly exclaimed, "Scarlett, let go of me, watch me slap her away with one hit!"
Scarlett Jennings simply said, "Wait a minute."
As soon as she spoke, they heard footsteps approaching rapidly.
It was Ariel Zimmerman and the program crew struggling to catch up.
Besides them, the guests from the other two groups also arrived because of the commotion just now.
The program team, along with the live broadcast audience, didn’t expect to see Scarlett Jennings here.
[Ahhh! My girl! It’s my girl, ahhh, this is definitely a surprise prepared by the program team for the broadcast opening!]
[Director Clark! You’re actually quite nice.]
[Wait a minute, the one behind Scarlett Jennings, could it be the monster the villagers were talking about?!]
[Oh my! It’s so big and terrifying!]
The live broadcast bullet screen comments soared. Ariel Zimmerman and Amber Livingston, who had been on the previous season, were the most excited to see Scarlett Jennings.
Ariel Zimmerman instantly forgot about her current partner Lucienne Xander, fluttering over like a butterfly to Scarlett Jennings,
"Scarlett! Why are you here?! Is it a secret surprise arranged by Director Clark?!"
Halfway there, she saw the "monster" that Scarlett Jennings was holding behind her.
Her steps shook for a moment, and she stalled on the spot.
"Scar-, Scarlett, the one behind you..."
There’s no way that’s Scarlett’s new pet, right?
Scarlett Jennings, facing the familiar camera, knowing it wasn’t the right time to settle the score with Lucienne Xander, just explained,
"I’m here on a friend’s request to find it."
She pointed to the Monkface Monkey behind her and said to the program crew, "Sorry for delaying your shoot."
The program crew here were all old acquaintances, not to mention there was her cousin Anthony Anson among the team, so they of course said it was okay.
They just didn’t expect the task of finding the monster to end so quickly.
Fortunately, they had a backup plan.
Cedric Wilder, who had just arrived, noticed the lingering presence of lightning around and couldn’t help but look at Scarlett Jennings,
"Scarlett Jennings, if I’m not mistaken, the one behind you is a demon, right?"
Cedric Wilder knew that besides the Security Bureau, Scarlett Jennings had also joined the Mystic Regulation Office, so her presence here wasn’t surprising.
Scarlett Jennings took one glance at him and did not deny it,
"Yes."
The surrounding people were all shocked to hear this. Although the program team had previously witnessed the existence of talking yellow foxes, but...
A demon belonged to another category of existence entirely.
"What kind of demon is it? Why does it look so scary? Can it turn back to its original form?"
Amber Livingston heard that demons can change their form at will and thought such a scary appearance was probably to deliberately frighten people.
Not only him, but other guests and staff present also thought the same.
Scarlett Jennings paused for half a second, then calmly said,
"Its original form looks like this."
She casually took out her phone to show everyone a photo,
"This is a White-faced Monk Monkey, they have them at the zoo."
As she said this, astrologer Diana Craig immediately slapped her forehead,
"I remember now, someone posted about peculiar animals online before, and this Monkface Monkey was in them."
She said this, a bit unsure,
"But when I looked at the educational introduction, this kind of monkey... they’re all quite small."
Their body length is about the size of an average cat, but they weigh less than half of a cat.
But this one’s size is comparable to a ten-year-old child.
If what the villagers saw was this Monkface Monkey, no wonder it was mistaken for a monster.
Not only her, but many viewers in the live broadcast recognized this as a genuine monkey and marveled.
Hearing that it’s a transformation due to demonization, it seemed quite plausible.
Scarlett Jennings had already searched for information on the White-faced Monk Monkey on her way here, knowing some zoos displayed it as a gimmick, so it was no wonder some poachers would want to capture such a large Monkface Monkey.
Ariel Zimmerman, once assured it’s not a real monster, relaxed significantly and eagerly approached Scarlett Jennings,
"But why was it hiding in the forest here?"
Scarlett Jennings was about to explain it had been kidnapped from Capital Metropolitan.
Suddenly, the Spirit Light Chain in her hand seemed to be tugged.
She turned her head and saw the Monkey Demon bound by the chain looking at her eagerly and tugging the chain again, its meaning clear.
Scarlett Jennings decided to protect the Baby Demon’s dignity and explained,
"It got lost."
The White-faced Monk Monkey, hearing this explanation, although still a bit dissatisfied, found it better than humans knowing it had been kidnapped, so it looked at Scarlett Jennings and grinned.
Everyone: ...
Mom, so scary.
Scarlett Jennings knew the program team would continue shooting, so she planned to take the Monkey Demon away first.
She took one last deep look at Lucienne Xander before leaving.
She hadn’t forgotten that this person wanted to kill her family’s Big Ghost, and decided to settle the score after the live broadcast ended at night.
Thinking this, she took a step forward, unexpectedly hearing Lucienne Xander’s voice come out coldly from behind,
"Since you’ve contracted a Ghost Servant, make sure to keep it in check and not let it wander outside, getting mistakenly hurt again."
This statement puzzled everyone present.
They couldn’t see Sophie Harper, nor did they know anything about a Ghost Servant.
However, Scarlett Jennings suddenly stopped, turned back, and looked directly at Lucienne Xander with cold glimmering eyes.
She changed her mind.
Better to have a fight now.
As for the program group... she mulled it over and suddenly called to Anthony Anson,
"Anthony, help me contact Director Clark and ask if he minds if I add an interactive segment to your first episode?"
The Mystical Sect rules forbid private dueling, let alone in front of so many viewers watching the live broadcast.
But if it were part of the show’s segment, then that wouldn’t be a problem, right?
Anthony Anson’s eyes lit up hearing Scarlett Jennings say this, and naturally, he responded immediately.
However, just as he was about to contact Director Clark, Director Clark, who had been watching the monitor screen, immediately replied through the earpiece, instantly agreeing,
"I agree, quickly get Master Jennings on the mic!"
He had previously considered inviting Scarlett Jennings to guest star in an episode, but she refused at the time. Now, this was an opportunity delivered to his doorstep, how could he refuse?
Director Clark already had a feeling that the first episode of ’Inspiration’ was going to be a hit again~
