Chapter 130 - Siren

The Queen Mother of the West was in the storyline of A Chinese Odyssey right now.

She wasn’t playing any character inside but was staying on the edge of the storyline as an audience member.

These were the VIP seats. Many Dream Movies offered such a service when they were streaming.

Getting involved in the development of the movie’s plot and interacting with the characters in the movie was the highest level of the movie-watching experience.

The Queen Mother was in the auditorium on the set.

A group of core management personnel from the research institute and the consciousness of the Dream Makers were also there with her.

This was what gave the Queen Mother butterflies in her stomach… The Dream Makers here were basically “seniors” who had participated in the construction of the Dream Dungeon of the Heavenly Court.

To some extent, they could be regarded as the “birth parents” of the Queen Mother.

“Xiao Hui, why are you wearing this… embarrassing outfit?” A Dream Maker commented on the Queen Mother’s outfit of a female high school senior.

Yang Hui was the Queen Mother’s real name. Only Dream Makers who had been involved in creating this character before could call her by this nickname.

“How is this embarrassing? Does my appearance not match with this outfit?”

The Queen Mother didn’t show any weakness at all. She directly refuted him.

Due to many reasons like nightmare pollution and a tragic incident that happened many years ago, none of the National Dream Makers involved in the construction of Journey to the West survived.

This was like the scientists who studied atoms and radioactive materials in the early days, using their lives to explore the truth, rules, and regulations.

However, the consciousnesses of these Dream Dungeons were lucky to be able to stay in the Dream Dungeon of Journey to the West, becoming a group of special and important figures independent of the system of the Heavenly Court.

“This… would harm your dignity.”

That Dream Maker was a bit old. They had spent a lot of effort in the appearance of the Queen Mother and the image designs of all the immortals in the Heavenly Court back then.

The immortals of the Heavenly Court were the facade of the Celestial Empire.

It was fine if the Queen Mother was wearing some normal clothes, but this Dream Maker felt like he was seeing his daughter wear a strange outfit right now… Any father might have directly beaten up the mastermind behind it.

And yet, the mastermind was doing something that would get the fundamentalists even more riled up.

“Perhaps you should put your attention on that monkey?” the Queen Mother of the West said.

The Great Sage had successfully aroused hatred this time. Qiu Ren gave the Great Sage a script for making a scene in the Heavenly Court, but when the Great Sage returned to the Heavenly Court… he found that all the main forces were having a holiday in the Romantic Movie Universe.

Those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, who could fight, weren’t here. How could he even make a mess?

However, in order to arouse enough resentment, the Great Sage directly brought the Dream Makers living in the Heavenly Court here.

This made the research institute put all their attention on the Great Sage. They had no mood and room to interrupt the development of the other storylines.

Most importantly, with these Dream Makers as hostages, the research institute wouldn’t dare to interfere with any tough means.

That Dream Maker put his attention on the Great Sage. Meanwhile, the monkey was confronting the Goddess of Mercy. Sitting next to him was Tang Seng, who was also brought into this Dream Dungeon with him.

“Sun Wukong, it’s time for you to turn back from the wrong path! You won’t end up well if you work with the nightmare. How can you drag your master in again?”

The righteous words of the Goddess of Mercy spoke the minds of the Dream Makers and people in charge from the research institute.

“Shut up! This is none of your business!” The Great Sage stopped the Goddess of Mercy from talking with simple and straightforward words.

“Wukong, we should talk about it carefully. How can you talk to Sister… to the Goddess of Mercy like this?”

Tang Seng was also a dream character with self-consciousness. When the Great Sage dragged him in, he must have thought for a long time. He was willing to cooperate with the performance to help the immortals of the Heavenly Court.

However, Teng Seng really couldn’t read part of the lines Qiu Ren wrote for him.

Why did he suddenly have to sing an English song in the story of Journey to the West?

Although Tang Seng was thinking about this in his mind, he still tried to persuade the Great Sage not to make any trouble according to the arrangement of the script when he saw his apprentice being disrespectful to the Goddess of Mercy.

The Great Sage gnashed his teeth and shouted at Tang Seng, “You shut up too!”

This made Tang Seng sigh in frustration. He had a feeling he hadn’t felt for a long time. He and the Great Sage had been in a constant loop of the storyline of A Chinese Odyssey.

Dream characters with self-consciousness would grow after all. As time passed, the Great Sage also gradually matured and was a bit less rebellious.

However, he chose to stand with Qiu Ren this time. He truly wanted to follow his heart and go against the Goddess. Tang Seng also felt that the unruliness the Great Sage had at the beginning had returned.

However… Tang Seng still wanted to say that his lines in this movie were too embarrassing.

“Wukong, you can’t scare me at all,” Tang Seng said.

The eyelids of the Great Sage pulsed. The anger he was familiar with seemed to be coming back, but the Goddess of Mercy spoke first.

“If you’re not afraid of me, you wouldn’t have to hurt Zixia Fairy and steal her pandora’s box to get out of this place. Aren’t you trying to escape from everything related to the Heavenly Court?”

What the Goddess of Mercy said was partially right and partially wrong. It represented the research institute. The Great Sage had indeed gone astray from the “pilgrimage route” arranged by the Dream Makers of the research institute and joined the nightmare to fight against them.

Who was Zixia Fairy?

The Dream Makers, who were still watching, thought that the development at the beginning was quite “to their liking.”

Wukong was rebellious and didn’t listen to Tang Seng, finally causing the Goddess of Mercy to step up to stop him. The Dream Makers and the management personnel from the research institute didn’t think there was a problem with this.

However, when the character, Zixia Fairy, showed up, the “chaos” radar of the old seniors started ringing like crazy.

They had the same thought as the Queen Mother. The Great Sage could make a mess in the Heavenly Court, but he could never date!

At this moment, a name that seemed to belong to a female character appeared all of a sudden, putting them into a state of full alert.

Their thoughts were right. After the prologue that was more like the story of Journey to the West, the movie had nothing to do with Journey to the West anymore, starting from the scene about the bandit, the Supreme Joker.

The relationship between Pak Jing-Jing and Wukong even made everyone’s scalp tingle. And yet, the series of nonsensical and funny scenes made the Dream Makers unable to keep a straight face.

The scene where the Supreme Joker’s invisibility talisman caught fire when he was about to murder two female goblins made the personnel from the research institute and the Dream Maker Seniors so frustrated that their faces distorted.

However, a farce was a farce after all… Just like that, the story developed to the scene where the Supreme Joker transmigrated through time and space with the pandora’s box.

The visiting Dream Maker Seniors found it hilarious and only treated it as a joke to kill time, nothing more…

When the last scene of the first part of A Chinese Odyssey, where the Supreme Joker went back to five centuries ago with the pandora’s box, was played out, the atmosphere of the entire Nightmare Dungeon suddenly changed.

Even Qiu Ren could feel the changes clearly… When Zixia Fairy appeared with her donkey the first time, something terrifying was staring at this Nightmare Dungeon.

“Fairy? Monster?”

Zixia was just a puppet without self-consciousness right now. She said this line to the Supreme Joker according to Qiu Ren’s script.

“Cut!”

When the Queen Mother yelled “cut” like the director, everything in the entire set stopped, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

“Qiu Ren! It’s enough! The container you created for that siren suits her well!” The Queen Mother of the West shouted at Qiu Ren.

However, things didn’t go as the Queen Mother wished. “Zixia Fairy,” whose pause button had originally been pressed, suddenly moved again.

“We’ve known each other for so many years, yet you still call me a siren. Sister, you really hurt my feelings.”

Zixia Fairy put up a cunning smile on her face, then directly waved her hand and left three moles on the sole of the Supreme Joker’s foot as she said, “Even though I’m still in the outland, this monkey will be mine after all. He can’t escape. I’m here today to say hi to you. Also, I like the identity of Zixia Fairy. Hey! Dream Maker… Give this character a happy ending. When I come to this materialistic world in the future, I’ll owe you a huge favor!”

Zixia Fairy’s body froze right there like a puppet again. The consciousness that possessed the character should have left.

Qiu Ren also showed up and came in front of the Queen Mother of the West, the management personnel of the research institute, and the Dream Makers.

“Qiu Ren, what’s the ending of the Supreme Joker and Zixia Fairy?” asked the Queen Mother.

“Um… Queen Mother, comparing the combat strength of your sister and the Army, who’s more powerful?”

Qiu Ren glanced at Suri, who had a cramp in her cheeks.

She had also watched the first part of A Chinese Odyssey, but she couldn’t smile at all because Qiu Ren was next to her. She worked very hard to keep a straight face.

“Her, me, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, Tathāgata of the west and the Emperor of the east share the prehistoric universe… The most powerful characters under me are Erlang Shen, the Monkey King, and Jiang Ziya… Right now, our Dream Seed is in a state of incompleteness. Do you know what I mean?”

Simply put, she had just one-fifth of the authority… And that siren seemed like someone on the level of a Lord of Nightmare.

Her arrival would undoubtedly turn part of the Dream Seed of the Heavenly Court into a Nightmare Seed.

Preventing the characters in the Heavenly Court from being polluted by nightmares or joining the nightmares’ side was one of Qiu Ren’s purposes of building this Romantic Movie Universe in the first place.

“So, is it possible to keep her in this Romantic Movie Universe? Like sealing her off here.”

Qiu Ren could see that the other party was preying on the Dream Dungeon on the outside. This character he created only gave her a clear landing spot.

However, with her strength, she might already be able to destroy the place where she was without finding a place to land.
