The Movie Queen's Mouth is Blessed - Chapter 39

Jiang Xiaobai almost forgot that she had once made a protective charm, which she had always kept in her necklace pendant.

The initial reason for making it was that the role of “Liu Ruyan” caused two female actresses to suffer bad luck. At that time, Jiang Xiaobai feared this “misfortune” would fall on her, so she made a charm just in case.

But who would have thought that the “misfortune” was related to her mouth? So, naturally, she entered the crew safely and continued acting until now.

After making the charm, nothing happened, and Jiang Xiaobai almost forgot about it. If not for today’s danger…

Jiang Xiaobai opened the pendant’s lid and found that the charm paper had turned to black ash, which the wind was now scattering.

She let out a light breath, feeling a bit shaken.

Even though she had managed to dodge in time, given the weight of the iron scaffold, even a slight touch would have caused more than just a minor injury. At the very least, it would have resulted in a fracture or bruise. But now, as she looked at her shoulder, there was only a tiny scrape.

The charm had neutralized the danger; thus, it had lost its power and self-destructed.

“Huh? What’s inside that pendant?”

The person in charge, who had noticed the commotion, rushed over and saw Jiang Xiaobai’s pendant.

The DS representative was Tao Qi, a man in his forties or fifties. His face was stern, and he was usually quiet. Although he had interacted with Jiang Xiaobai for two days, they rarely spoke, and she had more conversations with George.

“This is a protective charm. The incident earlier… it protected me.”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to say too much, but then she thought of something and revealed more.

In her world, talisman masters held a high status, respected and revered by all, and maintained an unshakable position.

But in the original owner’s world, it wasn’t the same. There were also supposed to be feng shui masters and practitioners here, and protective charms existed. However, most were frauds or fake goods, leading to a mixed bag of practitioners with varying skill levels. This made the field look bad; many people viewed it as superstitious nonsense.

When she mentioned the protective charm, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to see how they would react.

“Protective charm? Oh my God, are you serious!”

Tao Qi was highly excited, starkly contrasting his usual quiet demeanor. “Where did you get this? Is it really that effective?”

If I tell you the truth, you probably won’t believe it. I didn’t search for this out; I created it myself.

Jiang Xiaobai thought to herself.

But she couldn’t say that. Who would believe a young girl could make such a charm?

“This… was made by an elder in my family. Her skills are exceptional, and her charms are always effective.” Jiang Xiaobai spoke with a mix of truth and fiction. “Fortunately, I had it with me, or I would have been in trouble today.”

Tao Qi looked at the fallen scaffold, still feeling a lingering fear.

Although he didn’t communicate much with Jiang Xiaobai, he had observed her performance over the past two days. He was delighted with this new spokesperson. He felt that DS’s reputation would significantly improve once the new advertisement was released.

If Jiang Xiaobai had really been injured today, aside from the potential legal and compensation issues, the loss of this spokesperson would have been a great regret for him.

“Can I get a charm like this? The price is negotiable. Miss Jiang, please ask your elder to make one for me or give me a phone number?”

Tao Qi was even more determined to get a charm after this.

Jiang Xiaobai was disappointed by his initial reaction but then felt relieved.

She took down his phone number and address, and after seeing that the work was done, she bid them farewell and headed back to the crew.

When she returned to the film city, it was already dark. Jiang Xiaobai went to her hotel room and called the director, informing him she could resume work the next day.

After sending Dong Ran and Zhu Zhu back to their rooms, Jiang Xiaobai took paper and a pen to draw charms.

This time, she drew several more, primarily protective charms. Additionally, she drew a weakened good luck charm.

This good luck charm differed from the “Spirit Luck Charm” she had developed in her original world.

The Spirit Luck Charm was complicated to make. Despite Jiang Xiaobai’s considerable skills, she failed to complete it, as its effects were too powerful. It attracted a dense concentration of spiritual energy to the charm paper, enhancing the wearer’s luck to a supernatural level and even bringing good fortune to those close to them.

Such a charm couldn’t be made in this world, as the spiritual energy here wouldn’t allow it. So, Jiang Xiaobai created a weakened version. This good luck charm would increase the wearer’s luck by a few degrees, making them appear more fortunate than others, but not to a supernatural extent.

It’s better to be low-key. This industry is already too high-profile.

Of course, even if Jiang Xiaobai wanted to be high-profile, she couldn’t. The spiritual energy and strength she experienced here were far from what they were in her original world.

She folded the good luck and protective charm and placed them in her necklace, deciding to always keep them with her. Even if she couldn’t wear the necklace during filming, she would find a way to keep it on her person.

The iron scaffold was terrifying and served as a warning to Jiang Xiaobai.

After finishing the charms, Jiang Xiaobai picked up her phone and selected some small pendants online. However, she entered Zhu Zhu’s phone number for the delivery.

After completing these tasks, Jiang Xiaobai decided to go to bed. But then she thought about it and realized she hadn’t updated her Weibo in a long time.

Since the “Dou Fang” incident, Jiang Xiaobai’s fame had increased significantly, and she had gained more followers. The original owner rarely updated her Weibo, only posting occasionally when she had work. Regular updates were few and far between.

But now, Jiang Xiaobai felt she should be more active as an artist with a growing fan base. This would also provide more benefits to her fans.

As for what kind of fans…

Don’t ask; they’re all here for my looks!

She took a selfie by the bedside. After her shower, she was makeup-free, her lengthy hair flowing down her back and wearing a silk nightgown. Her skin was smooth and fair, and her young, unadorned face looked somewhat innocent.

The bedside lamp dimly lit the room but didn’t affect the photo.

After reviewing the photo, she thought, Hmm, the image is clear, but the angle isn’t great…

Oh well, it’s still okay. Let’s go with this.

Jiang Xiaobai used the original camera to take the photo, too lazy to edit or adjust the colors. She quickly wrote a caption and posted it with the picture.
