Chapter 817: Adults team up to deceive a child; my heart aches for Nezha

Before the film officially premiered, everyone had already seen the promotional posters for the Nezha movie, which featured two handsome men pitted against each other.

Yet, now on the movie screen, a street ruffian appeared!!!

The audience felt their innocent hearts had been deeply deceived.

It was like meeting an online date in person—you expected Daniel Wu, but got Nicolas Cage instead.

The contrast was simply too massive!

But Nezha felt just fine.

As soon as he heard his mother was going to play shuttlecock with him, he excitedly jumped off the courtyard wall.

To the side.

A guard brought over armor and hurriedly urged the Lady to put it on. Lady Yin refused, saying: "What kind of joke is this? Do I need to wear armor just to play with my son? Will playing shuttlecock kill someone?"

No sooner had she finished speaking.

Whoosh!

Nezha kicked a shuttlecock over.

Lady Yin was kicked flying dozens of meters away by the shuttlecock, embedding herself directly into the courtyard wall.

Nezha asked with concern: "Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Lady Yin gave Nezha a thumbs-up, then turned to her guard and said: "I think I'll put it on after all."

Inside the theater, there was a roar of laughter.

That was a face-slap at the speed of light!

Many in the audience were also deeply moved; Lady Yin was willing to risk injury just to play with her son... the heart of a parent is truly pitiful.

Unfortunately, there were too many matters in Chen Tangguan.

The mother and son hadn't played for long before soldiers came to report that demons were causing chaos and reinforcements were needed.

Lady Yin had no choice but to lead the troops away.

Who would have thought that the moment she left, Nezha would use a clever trick to make the two barrier beasts fight each other, and then sneak out.

Now, things were in trouble.

The Demon Child was wreaking havoc on the human world!

Nezha caused a scene in Chen Tangguan; the commoners were bullied terribly by him, fearing him from the bottom of their hearts, yet hating him all the same.

Even the children were the same.

Just as Nezha was in a rage, throwing a large rock at three children, fortunately, Li Jing and Daoist Taiyi returned at that moment, preventing him from causing any loss of life.

At this time.

It had already been a year since Li Jing and Daoist Taiyi left the human world.

Daoist Taiyi expressed his desire to take Nezha as his disciple, to correct his Demon Pill habits and turn him into a righteous person who slays demons and eliminates evil.

"This... is it necessary?"

Lady Yin said, thinking that Nezha only had two years of life left, she didn't want to put him through any more trouble, wanting him to live happily during his final days.

Li Jing, however, said: "I don't want him to live his life in such a muddled state, and you wouldn't want Nezha to be treated as a demon even after he dies."

Lady Yin's expression was sorrowful, but she did not refuse again.

"I just want him to live happily in his final days; is a posthumous reputation really that important?" Lady Yin thought to herself.

In reality.

At this very moment, the vast majority of the audience in the Great Xia Kingdom watching *Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child*, with the exception of the children, felt doubts rising in their hearts.

The reasons given by Daoist Taiyi and Li Jing seemed correct on the surface, but were actually very far-fetched.

Admittedly.

If an adult only had two years of life left, they would certainly think about fulfilling some of their dreams.

But Nezha was different; all things considered, he was only one year old. Letting him live every remaining day happily was more important than anything else.

Rather than thinking about teaching him things.

Right and wrong, good and evil... these were things even adults found difficult to distinguish, let alone a child.

"Xu Mingyou is forcing this plot point a bit too stiffly."

"Indeed."

"It's very obvious; they are forcing a reason here just to establish a master-disciple relationship between Nezha and Daoist Taiyi."

"I don't understand it."

"It's below their usual standard."

"Let's keep watching; I'm deducting ten points from them for this."

"My heart aches for the ladies, so I won't deduct any."

"??? Draw your sword!"

"..."

The audience discussed, but soon, their attention was captured by the beautiful scenery and magnificent special effects within the *Map of Mountains and Rivers*.

It could be said that the level of money burned on special effects for this segment was only slightly lower than the final battle at the end of the movie.

The audience wearing 3D glasses, combined with the girls' talent for empathy, felt as if they were immersed in a fairyland, traveling through it alongside Nezha and Daoist Taiyi.

Sometimes flying high above the nine heavens.

Sometimes riding a lotus platform watching countless water spouts winding through the sky.

Sometimes entering a beautiful underground world.

All sorts of strange and fantastical sights were drawn out by Daoist Taiyi using his Pointing-at-the-Rivers-and-Mountains Brush.

"Incredible!"

"Worth the price of the ticket!"

"It's too shocking!"

"Xu Mingyou's imagination is too vast!"

"Truly beautiful!"

"I really want this brush; it's so magical!"

"I feel like I'm really touring a fairyland!"

"..."

Late at night, in the theaters of the Great Xia Kingdom, many in the audience were deeply shocked.

Immediately following.

After Daoist Taiyi displayed his supernatural powers and spells, he began to teach Nezha.

The first thing he taught was the Transformation Technique.

As it turned out, he forgot that he was a comedic character, and that Nezha was the reincarnation of the Primordial Pearl, a peerless genius.

In just one day, Nezha learned the Transformation Technique.

Then Nezha used his newly learned magic to tease Daoist Taiyi, making the comedic man suffer greatly; the theater was once again filled with laughter.

Nezha did not want to apprentice to learn skills, nor did he want to slay demons and eliminate evil to benefit the common people. ===== CHAPTER 818 =====
