The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

Soon, the teacher arrived.
The class was rather dull. Tang Hao sat there, feeling bored.
Cao Fei and the others were also dozing off. A few students took out their phones and were secretly playing games under the desk. Many of the girls sitting in front were also playing with their phones.
The class was not very important, so not many people were taking it seriously.
Tang Hao stared at the leaves outside the window for a long time, studying the structure of the veins. Suddenly, the phone in the drawer vibrated.
He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and took out his phone.
He looked down and saw that it was from Liu Bingyao.
“Are you in school?”
Tang Hao immediately replied, “Yes!”
“Come over later. I’ll wait for you at the back of the field!” Liu Bingyao replied.
“You’re back?”
“Yes! I’m here to apply for my suspension!”
“OK, class is about to end. I’ll come over soon.”
The bell rang a few minutes later. Tang Hao walked out and made sure that no one followed him to a remote corner on the far side of the field.
Liu Bingyao came out from behind a corner.
She wore a white dress, sunglasses, and a mask.
“You’re here!” She took off her mask and said happily.
“Are the procedures done?” Tang Hao asked.
Liu Bingyao nodded and said, “It’s almost done. I just came out from the counselor’s office! I only need my parents’ signatures. They’ve agreed to it, so I’ll take the forms back.”
“Oh!” Tang Hao nodded.
“Sit for a while!” She walked to the steps at the side, pulled up her skirt, and sat down.
“OK!” Tang Hao replied, walked over, and sat down next to her.
“Do your parents… support you?” Tang Hao asked.
She smiled bitterly and said, “You don’t know how much they opposed my decision in the beginning. They’re the traditional type, thinking that all I needed to succeed was to study hard and become a civil servant or find a stable office job. They wouldn’t have agreed to it.
“At that time, I hid it from them. They found out later, and we had a big argument.”
As she said that, she pursed her lips and revealed an aggrieved expression.
“It was only until after my first live stream and my popularity exploded that Sis Meiting personally met them and talked to them for a long time before they were convinced.”
She smiled as she said that. “Sister Meiting is really nice and takes care of me really well! Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to become popular so quickly.
“Look, look, my followers have increased again. I have more than two million followers on Weibo, and more than three million on Sky Live.”
She took out her phone and excitedly showed Tang Hao her social media accounts.
“You’re amazing!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Of course, he knew about that. He had gone online and followed her progress during his leisure time.
She suddenly paused and said, “Oh right! You follow me, so you must know.”
“How do you know that I follow you?” Tang Hao was surprised.
With so many people following her, he thought that she would not notice.
When he started following her, she already had more than a hundred thousand followers.
Bing Yao smiled smugly and said, “Isn’t that simple? I checked out your account. You’re Qing Feng, right? I’ll know once I check it out. Look, I even privately followed you back.”
“It’s just that you seem very lazy. You never post anything.”
Tang Hao suddenly felt a little awkward.
Then, he asked in puzzlement, “You can privately follow me?”
“Yeah! Don’t you know?”
Tang Hao shook his head. He was unaware of that feature.
They continued chatting for a while more. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said, “Ah! I almost forgot. This is for you!”
As she said that, she opened her bag and took out a box.
The box was pink and had a flower tied to it.
“What’s this?” Tang Hao was surprised.
Her pretty face blushed, and she said, “These are my songs! I’ve recorded the songs for my first album. I want you to be the first one to listen to them!”
“Oh! Thank you!”
Tang Hao quickly took the box.
She glanced at Tang Hao shyly and mumbled, “Um… please don’t say that it’s not good!”
Tang Hao smiled and said, “How can that be? The songs must be very nice!”
She immediately pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.
“Oh right, when will the album be released?” Tang Hao asked.
“It’ll still take some time. I’ve recorded the songs, but we still have to shoot the music video! Sis Meiting says that she wants to hire the best music video director. It’ll take at least a month or even two months!” Liu Bingyao said.
“However, when we’re done shooting the first one, it’ll be uploaded to my video channel for promotion. You’ll be able to watch that.”
Chapter 587 - Campus-wide Commotion
Tang Hao said, “Let me know when that happens!”
“Yes! You’ll definitely be the first to know!” Liu Bingyao said with a smile.
She was silent for a while, then smiled and said, “Actually, I first decided to venture into the entertainment industry on an impulse. I’ve never expected that I would achieve such results in less than a month.
“Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have taken the first step.”
She looked at Tang Hao and said gratefully.
If Tang Hao had not supported her, she would not have been able to continue on that path, and she would not have attained that level of popularity so quickly.
“No need to thank me. You earned this through your hard work,” Tang Hao said. “Keep up the good work! When you’re more famous, you can star in my movie.”
“Really?”
Liu Bingyao’s beautiful eyes lit up.
She had heard about Haotian Pictures and had been closely following their developments.
“Of course!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright, I’ll definitely work hard. Right now, I’m at most an Internet sensation. I’m not even a celebrity yet!” She clenched her fists and looked excited.
After chatting for a while, she stood up and said, “I have to go back!”
“Let me send you off!”
Tang Hao stood up as well.
“OK!” She nodded.
The two of them stuck their heads around the corner and looked around. Seeing that no one was nearby, they walked out and headed toward the front gate.
However, they soon encountered several boys walking along a narrow path.
Tang Hao and Liu Bingyao were both stunned.
The boys were also stunned.
The two parties stared at each other for a few seconds.
Tang Hao and Liu Bingyao turned around and walked away hurriedly.
“Whoa! Isn’t that Tang Hao! Who’s that beautiful woman?” Someone cried out in surprise.
Then, another person exclaimed, “Oh my god! That’s Beauty Queen Liu!”
He sounded quite excited.
“What? Beauty Queen Liu?” The others were also instantly excited.
They knew that Beauty Queen Liu had signed up under an agent and her live streams were extremely popular. She was an Internet sensation now, and she would be a future diva.
“Don’t go, Beauty Queen! Can I get your autograph before you leave?”
“Hey! Don’t leave!”
They hurriedly caught up to the two people.
Tang Hao and Liu Bingyao walked away even faster.
This commotion alerted the people nearby.
“Beauty Queen? Is that
Beauty Queen Shi? Eh, no! Oh my god! That’s Beauty Queen Liu!”
“Beauty Queen Liu is back!”
The discovery caused an uproar.
Excited male students rushed over from all directions.
“Don’t leave, Beauty Queen! Please give me your autograph!”
“Tang Hao, you bastard! Let go of Beauty Queen Liu’s hand this instant!”
“Tang Hao, you bastard, why are you running? Dammit! Are you born in the Year of the Rabbit?”
Tang Hao grabbed Liu Bingyao’s hand and ran away.
Liu Bingyao’s pretty face blushed, but she did not object to him holding her hand.
The two people broke out of the human barricade and ran wildly.
However, the news quickly spread around, which caused a campus-wide uproar.
“Beauty Queen Liu is back!”
“Quick! Let’s go and her autograph!”
Hordes of male students rushed out of the classroom. The windows of the academic buildings opened, and heads poked out to look around.
In a matter of minutes, the entire campus was in chaos.
Equally chaotic were the emotions of countless hot-blooded male students.
The fairy-like Beauty Queen Liu was every boy’s dream girl. Her singing made her even more desirable.
Beauty Queen Liu had finally returned to school after a month!
That was a good opportunity to get close to the goddess! They would stand no chance if she became more popular in the future.
Tang Hao pulled her hand and hid in a corner.
The two people stopped to catch their breath.
Tang Hao was fine, but Liu Bingyao was panting heavily. She clutched her chest, her face red and drenched in sweat.
As she panted, she glanced at Tang Hao and suddenly laughed happily.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from the other end.
There was nowhere to hide.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
In a moment of desperation, she bolstered her courage and hugged Tang Hao. Then, she retreated to the corner of the wall and pressed her face against Tang Hao’s chest.
Tang Hao was stunned by Liu Bingyao’s bold move.
His self-control wavered as he felt the soft, warm, and delicate body in his arms.
He continued to hug her without moving.
Her body was stiff as if she was very nervous. Her face that was buried in his chest was boiling hot.
Thump! Thump!
Her heart was beating faster and faster, as though it would jump out of her chest.
The footsteps continued to approach them.
“They’re not here?” Someone exclaimed.
Then, someone said angrily, “F*ck! Why can’t you find a better place to make out?”
“Let’s go! The love in the air is making me nauseous!”
The group of people quickly left.
The two remained still even after the footsteps faded away in the distance.
She hugged him tightly, and for a moment, she was caught in a daze.
She was getting obsessed with the masculine smell on his body.
She came to her senses after a long time. “Ah!” She abruptly let go of her arms, and her face was blushing furiously.
Tang Hao was also blushing slightly.
Their eyes met, and they quickly looked away. The atmosphere was rather ambiguous.
“Well… Let’s go then!” Tang Hao stammered.
“OK!” She lowered her head and replied.
The two of them sneaked out, and Tang Hao brought her to the front gate with the help of a concealment spell.
He Meiting was waiting for Liu Bingyao not far away from the gates.
She was visibly shocked when she saw Tang Hao. Then, she calmly called out, “Mr. Tang!”
“President He!” Tang Hao also greeted her calmly.
“Let’s go, Bingyao!” She waved at Liu Bingyao.
“Alright. Bye!” Liu Bingyao waved at Tang Hao.
“Bye!” Tang Hao also waved.
Liu Bingyao smiled sweetly, opened the car door, and got in.
The car started and slowly drove away. Suddenly, Liu Bingyao rolled down the car window, stuck her head out, and shouted, “Don’t forget to listen to my song, Tang Hao!”
She waved again and got back into the car.
The car drove farther and farther away.
Tang Hao stood there for a long time, watching the car disappear beyond the street corner.
He took out the gift box and opened it gently. There was a CD inside.
Under the CD was a piece of paper.
It was a letter written in a neat script.
“Dear Tang Hao, I hope that you’ll like my song.
“PS: It seems that I’m one step closer to our promise. Don’t worry, I will continue to work hard!”
Liu Bingyao signed her name at the bottom and sealed it with a kiss.
Tang Hao’s heart stirred slightly as his fingers stroked past the faint lip print.
Then, he smiled.
He had other classes in the morning, but he decided not to attend. He went straight home, inserted the CD into his computer, put on his headphones, and played the music.
He was instantly mesmerized by the gentle music and heavenly voice.
Chapter 588 - Tonight, You’re Mine
After countless replays and an unknown amount of time passed…
Finally, Tang Hao opened his eyes.
He took off his headphones and let out a long sigh.
Looking at the time again, it was already past noon. He had been listening to it for almost two hours without realizing the passing of time.
He took out the piece of paper and read it again. Then, he solemnly put it away, took out the CD from the tray, put it in the box, and gently closed the lid.
He could predict that she would be another step closer to her dream once the album was released.
The album was absolutely perfect, whether it was the lyrics, the melody, or that voice.
He took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and sent her a message.
“I’ve listened to the CD. It’s very good. All the best!”
Soon, he received a reply.
“Thank you!” Followed by a cute emoji.
Tang Hao put his phone away, stood up, and rubbed his stomach. He was a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen and started cooking.
He cooked two simple medicinal cuisine dishes and a soup for himself.
As he ate, he took out his tablet and browsed through the news.
Suddenly, a headline caught his attention.
“Do zombies exist in this world? The truth might shock you! Don’t read if you’re a coward!”
The article popped up when Tang Hao was searching for news about his movie.
“F*ck!” He blurted when he tapped on the headline.
It turned out that someone had broken into the Mao Mountain film set at night, recorded a video, and posted it on the Internet.
Tang Hao frowned. He scrolled down and played the video.
In the video, several young men sneaked into the film set and went to the place where the coffins were stored. They were commentating the entire trip, but no one noticed.
Finally, they pried open one of the coffins. They were shocked by the zombie inside and ran away in a panic.
The atmosphere of the video was unnerving and terrifying. Especially at the end, when the zombie appeared on the screen, timid viewers must be getting nightmares that night.
After watching it, Tang Hao’s frown deepened.
There should have been Taoist masters guarding the film set, even at night, especially the place where the coffins were stored.
The dumplings were weak, and they were also restrained by peach wood stakes and talismans. They should not have been a threat, but people were assigned to guard them, just in case.
However, the people who recorded the video could enter and leave without anyone stopping
them.
“Dammit! Where did everyone go?” Tang Hao muttered.
He continued scrolling down. The comments were varied.
“Oh my god! That gave me such a fright!”
“Haha! It’s fake! It’s definitely fake. They’re very realistic though! All the props in movies nowadays are like this!”
Tang Hao smiled.
He had anticipated that news about the film set would eventually leak out, but no one would believe it. It did not matter if the news leaked out.
What he did not expect was someone breaking into the film set and recording a video.
He pondered for a moment, then picked up his phone and called Trendy Taoist Master.
Trendy Taoist Master picked up the call soon.
“Have you seen the video on the Internet, Taoist Master?” Tang Hao asked.
The Taoist master replied, “Sigh! Of course, I’ve seen it. I’ve also found out who leaked it. It’s a small-time actor who’s in the production crew. His scenes have long been shot.”
“Xuan Ming was on duty last night, but he got himself drunk! Sigh! He should’ve known better! Don’t worry, Fellow Cultivator Tang. I’ve already taught him a lesson. I guarantee that no such problem would arise again.”
“That’s good!” Tang Hao said.
After a pause, he said, “It’s not a big deal, but we still have to be careful.”
“Yes, yes!” Trendy Taoist Master quickly said.
“The video isn’t anything important either. Maybe… we can hype it up for the movie. We can even use it to promote our movie closer to its release,” Tang Hao said.
Not only did they have to produce a fantastic movie, but they would also need a strong promotional campaign for it to succeed.
“You are absolutely right!” Trendy Taoist Master said.
“Ah, right! Fellow Cultivator Tang, we’re running out of jade talismans…”
“You’re running out? Alright, I’ll come over later.”
After chatting for a while, he ended the call.
After lunch, Tang Hao drove to the studio and handed Trendy Taoist Master a few bags of jade talismans.
Those jade talismans were all custom-made and had very low power. However, the effects were dazzling and were perfect for the movie shoot.
“Boss Tang!”
