The true form of the imperial edict is a giant python, which transforms into a pillar that reaches the sky when it ascends. This type of python does not exist in the human world and requires computer production in post-production. However, to achieve a more realistic visual effect, real pythons are first used for filming, and then later edited to become the giant python that serves as the pillar that reaches the sky.

  Everyone in the crew knew about Xu Linlang's plan, but no one thought she could actually find such a big python!

  Saying... is this really a python? Are you sure it's not a snake demon or something?!

  Xu Lin's throat was dry and difficult to swallow. Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at the giant python in the cage, her hand raised excitedly as she shouted "An Qi, get ready!"

  An Qi: "......" Tears streaming down his face He doesn't want to be in the same frame as this brutal guy Waaahhhh~~~~~

  Unfortunately, Xu Linlang, who had everything calculated, did not receive the distress signal he sent out. Lao Wei dragged An Qi to the edge of the forest and told him how to lie down without arousing the giant python's appetite. An Qi trembled and lay on the ground, allowing Lao Wei to spray a special liquid on his back, which was said to have a smell that could prevent snakes from approaching.

  After preparation, the iron cage opens, and Lao Wei holds a fresh piece of meat with blood on it to lure the giant python. The python raises its head, staring at the meat, hesitating for a while before slowly sliding out of the cage. The camera follows immediately, and the python moves slowly. Its eyes show curiosity and excitement, but its sturdy body seems a bit lazy. It follows the trajectory of food in the forest, stopping about three meters away from Anqi, raising its head high, as if suddenly discovering this unconscious intruder...

  Lao Wei was squatting on the tree trunk, hugging a fresh piece of meat and waving it at it...

  "Cut!" As soon as Xu Linlang yelled "cut", Old Wei immediately let go of the fresh meat and threw it to the python to eat. Then he climbed down from the tree, leaving other colleagues to deal with putting the python back in its cage, freeing up enough time to prepare for the next shot.

  This artificially fed giant python has obviously undergone some training, and under the guidance of the staff, it slowly slid back into the iron cage, curled up, its big head hidden under its coiled body, quietly and lonely resting.

  The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became fiery, and the original fear of the python turned into curiosity and excitement. People who had nothing to do with it stood at a distance to watch the snake in the cage, chattering and discussing incessantly.

  Xu Linlang was also very happy, she insisted on using a real python to shoot, which was also under great pressure. If something went wrong, her life would be ruined. From the decision to use a real python for filming, she had been worried and hesitant, worrying that the actors shooting with the real python might have an accident, and not wanting the empty computer special effects to affect the overall effect of the film.

  Xu Linlang is not that kind of irresponsible director who would play with an actor's life, she just wants to make the best film.

  Bai Xi Jing gently stroked his chin, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as he suddenly spoke up in a soft voice, "Jing Chen, aren't you going to take a look?"

  Xiao Jingchen loved animals, whether they were gentle pets or ferocious beasts. When she saw the white tiger at Luo's house that year, she was so excited that she couldn't help but rush over and hug it, rolling all over the ground. Now, seeing such a huge and majestic python, she remained unmoved? — This is not scientific!

  Xiao Jing looked dazedly at the big python. Her eyes were distant and shining with tears, her small hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her sleeve, and her mouth was slightly pursed. After a long time, she muttered, "Dad, why do you keep it in a cage?"

  Bai Xi Jing was silent for a moment before saying "Because I'm afraid it will hurt people."

  "Will it hurt people?" Xiaojingchen continued to ask, with a hint of vulnerable weakness in his voice.

  How should this question be answered? The standard answer is: Yes!

  But looking at Xiao Jingchen's bewildered and lost eyes, Bai Xijin couldn't help but feel that he couldn't say anything. He reached out to put his arm around Xiao Jingchen's shoulders and said softly, "At least it hasn't hurt anyone yet."

  "Mm." Xiao Jingchen nodded, and suddenly turned around to hug Bai Xijin's waist, burying her entire body in his arms. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and Bai Xijin's heart tightened as he instinctively hugged her tightly.

  Xiao Jingchen is a very straightforward person, happy to laugh and sad to cry. Moreover, she never thinks it's embarrassing to wail loudly in public, so she will hug her dad, brother or anyone she trusts when crying, but she absolutely won't suppress her voice while crying, which doesn't match her personality at all.

  Bai Xi Jing couldn't help but feel worried "......what's wrong?"

  Xiao Jingchen shook his head vigorously, sniffled and choked out a "Nothing."

  In an instant, Bai Xi Jing felt that he had become worn out and hurt, his daughter actually had secrets that she didn't share with him, waaahhhh!

  Many actors have played with the giant python, but absolutely not including Xiao Jingchen. Because it is impossible for the transformed and original forms of the same snake demon to appear at the same time, almost every main character and supporting actor has to be nervous and excited to the point where every pore trembles when filming with the giant python. Only Xiao Jingchen stands far, far away... so far that his line of sight is almost blocked by the three layers of onlookers inside and outside.

  There was an old trainer named Lao Wei, the shooting went very smoothly, and everyone's fear of the python was gradually worn away.

  When night falls, because a large python lives here, the actors no longer stay on the mountain and return to the hotel where the crew is staying in the valley. The only ones left on the mountain are the breeders, Xu Linlang and a few other crew members, An Qi who needs to shoot night scenes with the python, Xiao Jingchen who is abnormally silent, and Bai Xijiu who is full of worries.

  Everyone was eating and laughing, but the giant python was alone in its cage, its green eyes staring gloomily at the people laughing outside.

  After filming several scenes, An Qi also had some feelings for the giant python. Seeing that the breeder didn't intend to feed the python at all, An Qi suddenly felt sorry for the lonely python. He rarely had a kind heart and picked out the chicken meat from his lunchbox, using a disposable fork to carefully insert it into the cage...

  Unintentionally catching sight of his actions, Lao Wei's face suddenly changed, and he bellowed "What are you doing?!"

  Anqi was startled by the sudden roar and his wrist shook, causing the piece of meat on the fork to fall onto the giant python's coiling body...

  We all know that feeding animals in a zoo is not allowed. The fear is that too many tourists feeding them will stuff those omnivorous animals to death.

  Snakes are pure carnivores, and due to some of their characteristics, snakes in zoos are kept in semi-enclosed glass cases. Even if tourists want to feed them, they can't get anything in, so snakes with no feeding experience at all can't distinguish whether human "feeding" behavior is friendly or invasive. A quiet python is disturbed, it spits out its tongue to lightly touch a piece of chicken, then opens its mouth and swallows the chicken whole.

  Seeing his kindness being accepted, An Qi was overjoyed. However, before he could even crack a smile, the giant python suddenly raised its neck, its cold vertical pupils staring at him with an unblinking gaze, like a maggot in one's heel bone, making one shudder.

  An Qi subconsciously stumbled backward. He didn't know if his knees had gone soft or if he had tripped over something, but he ended up falling onto the ground with a thud.

  A sturdy python cannot drill out of the cage, but its relatively thin tail can be stuck between the iron bars serving as a fence. It wraps around several adjacent iron bars and makes an effort to twist them, causing the iron bars to deform with a "crack" sound, widening the gap. The python then slips out of the deformed iron fence.

  "Ahhh——" Except for Xu Linlang, the only woman on site was makeup artist Yang Na. Seeing the giant python slither out of its cage, she let out a shrill scream, and the few men left behind by the film crew were also frantically running around in all directions, causing the scene to erupt into chaos.

  "Shut up!" Xu Linlang suddenly roared, his eyes gleaming with a fierce and bloodthirsty light that scared the wits out of the film crew members. They huddled together in fear, but strangely, despite being frightened to the point of near-collapse, not one person fled the scene.

  The handlers had moved quickly but calmly into position, with tranquilizer guns, electric nets and iron chains at the ready. But after the python slid out of its cage it was only a few meters away from Anqi. If they used the tranquilizer gun, before the anesthetic took effect, the python would have more than enough time to swallow Anqi whole. So for now, no one dared make the first move.

  "Old Wei, what should we do now?!"

  Lao Wei's face turned black as if it could drip ink, he stared at the giant python with gritted teeth and said "I also want to know what to do."

  Xu Linlang: "......"

  Looking at the giant python standing upright in front of him, An Qi was so frightened that his eyes went dark for a moment. He stared blankly as the python slowly opened its huge mouth, revealing two sharp fangs gleaming with cold light in the darkness. Without thinking, An Qi instinctively turned around and ran away - well, he had stirred up a hornet's nest!

  He moved, and the giant python that was originally just "watching" also started to move. The giant python moved, and the breeders thought it was going to eat people, so "bang bang bang" several gunshots rang out, tranquilizer darts shot into the python's body without exception. However, the python's head was too big, and the anesthetic needed time to take effect. At this moment, what they lacked most was time!

  The pain from the gunshot wound sent the python into a frenzy, it let out a long hiss, suddenly lowered its body, opened its huge mouth and bit down on An Qi. Xu Linuang's eyes widened in horror "An Qi!!"

  Just as everyone was terrified to see An Qi about to be swallowed by the snake's mouth, suddenly, a white shadow flashed, and an absolutely unexpected figure appeared beside An Qi - Bai Xijing. He grabbed An Qi's collar and threw him out violently, at the same time, the giant python bit towards Bai Xijing's neck. Bai Xijing's hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and a cold light flashed on his glasses, his narrow phoenix eyes dark like the depths of hell...

  Time seemed to stand still, and all eyes were on Bai Xijing...

  An Qi struggled to lift his head, gazing at Bai Xijing with tearful eyes, who was in a precarious situation trying to save him, his teeth clenched in pain...

  The python's upper and lower jaws suddenly closed together, Bai Xijing slightly leaned back...

  "Don't move!" Xiao Jingchen suddenly rushed over...

  At this moment, a miracle happened——

  Bai Xijing heard his daughter's cry and stood frozen in the distance, maintaining a slightly arched posture without moving. The giant python also remained still, with its upper and lower jaws half-clenched, its sharp fangs only less than two centimeters away from Bai Xijing's neck artery.

  Everyone and the snake slowly turned their eyes towards Xiaojingchen.

  Xiao Jingyun only ran a few steps before stopping involuntarily, she stood there, her eyes welling up with tears, pouting, but the object of her tantrum was not her omnipotent daughter-controlling foolish father, but rather... "Eggplant~~~~~~ Waaaahhhhhh~~~~~~!!"

  The giant python lifted its upper body, its sharp teeth slowly moving away from Bai Xijing. It suddenly went limp and stuck to the ground, its cold vertical pupils staring unblinkingly at Xiao Jingchen, slowly sliding towards her, slower and slower...

  The anesthetic is taking effect, the python can't exert any strength, its muscles are relaxed and it can't move at all, it can only stare tightly at Xiaojing dust. Lao Wei immediately led people to tie up the python, and the python didn't even struggle a little bit.

  Xiao Jingchen let out a sob, and couldn't help but burst into tears. She rushed over and pushed Lao Wei and the others away with great force, sending several big men tumbling to the ground. Xiao Jingchen wept uncontrollably as she used all her strength to break free from the ropes and iron chains. Then, she hugged the giant python's head in her arms "Qiezi~ Qiezi~, I miss you so much, I miss you so much~~ Wuuu~~~~"

  The wet and slippery letter was lightly spat out and touched the small, clean, and wet face, and the giant python slowly closed its eyes!

  I don't know if beasts can feel at ease. If they can, the eggplant sleeping in Xiaojing's arms must be feeling "at ease" right now!

  Xiao Jing didn't know that the breeders had used anesthetic darts. Seeing the giant python close its eyes and remain motionless, she thought it had been shot to death by a gun. Her heart was in extreme pain, as if being torn apart. She hugged the python tightly and cried out loudly, "Qiezi——!! Qiezi——!! Wake up, Qiezi——!"

  Unfortunately, the python still remains silent and motionless!

  Xiao Jingchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Lao Wei and several breeders. His eyes, washed clean by tears, were clear and distinct in black and white, but they carried an undisguised chill and a dense ferocity. The overwhelming killing intent that burst out of his small body was even more terrifying than the giant python's rampage earlier.

  Lao Wei and several old men couldn't help but retreat in shock and fear, staring at Xiao Jingchen with vigilance and unease.

  Suddenly, a large hand covered Xiaojing's eyes, and Bai Xijing hugged her from behind, gently kissing the hair on her ear, whispering "The eggplant is not dead, it's just sleeping, it will wake up soon."

  Xiao Jingchen remained still in her father's arms, her senses heightened as she was "robbed" of her line of sight - it felt warm on her father's body "Really?"

  "Hmm, I guarantee it! When has Dad ever cheated you?"

  "Dad is always right."

  "Good boy/girl!"
