Chapter 291

The next day.

Eight o'clock sharp in the evening.

Countless people were waiting early in front of their televisions or computers, anticipating the broadcast of the final five episodes of *Sword and Fairy 3*.

Tonight, episodes 35 and 36 were being updated.

As soon as they were updated, everyone began watching immediately.

But...

Just five minutes in, countless people were completely broken.

Because Xu Xu Changqing had died.

The Evil Sword Immortal was wreaking havoc on the human world.

After Jing Tian and the others returned to a ruined temple, they saw the place in shambles, countless civilians injured, and many Shushan disciples busy saving lives.

In the midst of their conversation, the Evil Sword Immortal suddenly appeared.

The group launched a great battle against the Evil Sword Immortal.

However, the Evil Sword Immortal was no longer the same as before; his power was unfathomable.

Not only were Jing Tian, Zixuan, and the others unable to defeat him, but even Xu Xu Changqing was sucked into the Evil Sword Immortal's mouth.

The death of Xu Xu Changqing was something the group found hard to accept.

The scene shifted.

Zixuan, Jing Tian, and a group of Shushan disciples set up a mourning hall for Xu Xu Changqing; Zixuan was dressed in mourning clothes, looking pitiful and lovely.

The barrage of comments completely exploded.

"WTF???"

"Xu Xu Changqing is written off just like that? Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"I'm crying to death!!! The knives are here; those heartless twins, I told them not to hand out knives, yet they started handing them out right at the beginning of episode 35! Wuwuwuwu!"

"Too cruel!"

"If you want to look pretty, wear mourning clothes! Zixuan looks tragically beautiful in this state! But I can't stop my tears at all; I have no heart to watch."

"It's starting, Xu Mingyue is at it again."

"..."

Jing Tian tried to encourage everyone to pull themselves together, but everyone had lost confidence; the Evil Sword Immortal was too powerful, and no one could defeat him.

Jing Tian said there was still one person—the Demon Lord Chong Lou!

He could destroy the Evil Sword Immortal, and he entrusted the Shushan disciples to go find Chong Lou.

Just as the Shushan disciples left.

He Bibing arrived.

The Evil Sword Immortal had sent He Bibing to invite Jing Tian to Shushan for a gamble, with the food of the entire Yuzhou City as the stake.

He had lost to Jing Tian in a previous gamble and had been brooding over it, wanting to win it back.

Jing Tian was very confident in himself.

He agreed.

But this time, because the Evil Sword Immortal cheated without any sense of honor, Jing Tian lost the gamble.

Maomao and everyone's food vanished into thin air.

Not only that, he also lost the five Shushan Elders, who were locked into the Demon-Locking Tower.

Jing Tian returned to Yong'an Pawnshop, soul-stricken.

At this moment.

The evil side of human nature was completely exposed.

The ending of the *Sword and Fairy 3* TV series, when summarized, actually focuses on the opposition between good and evil.

The Evil Sword Immortal grows by absorbing human evil thoughts.

For every bit of evil that grows, he becomes one bit stronger.

Conversely, if people hold onto good thoughts, there is still hope for a desperate comeback.

The goodness of Jing Tian, Long Kui, Maomao, and others formed a sharp contrast with the evil of the Evil Sword Immortal.

Jing Tian returned to Yong'an Pawnshop, unable to bear deceiving everyone, and told them about his gamble with the Evil Sword Immortal.

The next second.

All the civilians began to scold Jing Tian, telling him to go find the food back. As Jing Tian stepped forward to leave, Maomao grabbed him and said, "Boss, you're too tired. There's no reason for you to bear everything alone. I'll find a way for the food."

At this moment.

The audience was full of question marks.

They even felt a bit bewildered.

Regarding the character Xu Xu Maoshan, everyone's impression had always been that of an errand boy, atmosphere setter, comic relief, and a tool for the male lead to show off.

Compared to Long Kui, Zixuan, and Xu Xu Changqing, he was just a mortal with no use.

In this regard, even Hua Ying was better than him.

At least the Five-Poison Beast could not only detoxify and heal others but was also a cute, energetic little girl.

It was hard to imagine what solution Maomao could come up with.

After all, this was the Evil Sword Immortal's doing.

Now that everyone had no food, where could he find it? Moreover, he was a fatty with clumsy hands and feet.

Some even thought that this was likely Xu Mingyue trying to pad the plot.

This is a basic operation for TV series in general.

Things that could be explained in one or two shots are deliberately dragged out for an entire episode.

However, it was understandable.

One must know that the price per episode of *Sword and Fairy 3* was as high as five million.

As long as it's a director, they would probably think about padding an episode whenever they could.

However.

Everyone never expected that this unremarkable, useless fatty would steal so many of their tears and bring them such a huge shock in the coming moments!

After leaving Yong'an Pawnshop, Maomao and Hua Ying went to look for food together.

After a whole day.

They found nothing.

They finally found an edible insect, but it was made to disappear by the Evil Sword Immortal's magic.

With no other choice, Maomao and Hua Ying had to continue searching.

After a day, Maomao was also starving.

They reached the city gate, only to hear the civilians say that the Thunderclap Hall had food.

It turned out that this Thunderclap Hall had already surrendered to the Evil Sword Immortal.

The Evil Sword Immortal made everyone's food disappear, but left some for the Thunderclap Hall.

Maomao arrived at the Thunderclap Hall; naturally, he couldn't get any food and was instead beaten up.

At this time.

Luo Luo Rulie appeared.

At this moment, he had already fallen into demonic ways.

When he saw Xu Xu Maoshan, his eyes revealed endless greed, as if he were looking at a delicious meal.

He ordered his subordinates to bring a large amount of food, saying it was all for Maomao, inviting him to eat and telling him to eat quickly.

Maomao was already extremely hungry; since the first episode of *Sword and Fairy 3*, the impression this fatty gave the audience was that of a big foodie.

0

He picked up a roasted chicken, his eyes fixed, his whole body swallowing saliva frantically.

Having been hungry to the point of physical weakness and sweating all over, he desperately wanted to eat this chicken to fill his stomach.

His life had only two dreams: one was to eat lots and lots of meat, and the other was to go to Chang'an to see the sights.

Just as the audience thought he would eat the chicken, Maomao made a move that left everyone stunned.

He took a bag out from his chest and began packing the food on the table, preparing to take it all back to Yong'an Pawnshop.

He knew that things were difficult for his boss, Jing Tian.

Those civilians needed this food.

Luo Luo Rulie asked, "What are you doing?"

"I want to take it out for everyone to eat," Xu Xu Maoshan said.

"No, I only invited you to eat. Others cannot eat."

"Why?" Xu Xu Maoshan asked.

Luo Luo Rulie replied that it was because Maomao had a pure soul, without any evil thoughts, which was why he had such a pure physical body.

The meat on his body was top-tier.
