Amber Livingston and Dashiell spoke openly without attempting to avoid people. The nearby guests, villagers, and even the livestream audience all heard them loud and clear.
Some people, like Amber Livingston, thought Dashiell was just being modest.
Scarlett Jennings knew he wasn’t the modest type, so what he said could only be the truth.
However, last night, when she rushed to the fish pond to find someone, she did feel a faint deterrent of Spiritual Power.
She subconsciously believed it was from Dashiell at the time.
But it wasn’t?
Then where did that deterrent of Spiritual Power come from?
Scarlett pondered this, her eyes falling on Amber Livingston, and she had a vague suspicion in her heart.
Before long, a group of people finally descended the mountain and returned to the village.
The village chief still needed to talk to others in the village about the Yellow Immortal, and he had to inform the villagers in advance about the temple construction and the offering of plaques in the ancestral hall. So, after greeting a few guests from the program group, he led a group of villagers to the village committee for a meeting.
Director Clark was about to let the guests go rest for a while when he saw Spencer Atkins leading his cameraman over.
In the morning, he wasn’t in the best state and didn’t go up the mountain with them. Later, from the livestream, he watched what they encountered and knew they returned, so he hurried over.
He was determined to be tied to the "Inspiration" program group for the next few episodes. He couldn’t let the audience think he couldn’t even last a single episode.
He hadn’t been really scared; after last night’s rest and resting again this morning, he appeared full of youthful energy, eagerly and warmly greeting each of them in turn.
He even paid close attention to Scarlett Jennings with concerned glances.
Then, his gaze shifted to Dashiell, who stood next to Scarlett Jennings.
A boy who was impeccably handsome, giving an astonishing impression at first glance.
"You’re... Scarlett’s brother, Jiao Tu, right? Thanks to you last night, I didn’t have time to introduce myself. I’m Spencer Atkins, you can call me Brother Spencer."
As he spoke, he offered his hand with a warm smile, and regardless of whether Dashiell was willing, he proactively and enthusiastically shook the young boy’s hand.
Dashiell frowned, seeming a bit impatient. The next second, he suddenly twisted Spencer’s wrist with a grasp.
"Ah!" Spencer Atkins let out an unexpected cry of pain, leaving the staff and audience, who were watching the two handsome young men shake hands, dumbfounded.
"Jiao Tu! What are you doing? Let go!"
Amber Livingston was the first to react, pulling them apart.
Fortunately, Dashiell didn’t intend to cause actual harm. When Amber Livingston came over to pull him, he let go of Spencer Atkins’s paw.
Scarlett Jennings saw that Spencer Atkins’s hand wasn’t broken or anything, so she didn’t pay him any attention. Instead, she turned to Dashiell, asking him plainly in a calm voice,
"What happened?"
Dashiell, a Flood Dragon that hadn’t mingled much in human society, didn’t know about human manners. Seeing there was no anger in her eyes towards him, he just coldly snorted, glaring at Spencer Atkins, speaking with a hint of danger in his tone,
"He just touched my palm! And pinched it after!"
Dashiell’s words were like a thunderbolt in broad daylight, stunning the guests, staff, and even the viewers watching the livestream.
[What does he mean? It’s not what I’m thinking, is it?]
[Whoa! Why would Spencer Atkins touch a young boy’s hand?!]
[Can you not speak nonsense?! My boy was just shaking hands with him; there’s nothing like the way he said. I think someone deliberately instigated it to falsely accuse my boy!]
As an actor who debuted as a child star, Spencer Atkins had quite a few mom fans. Even though he was now a nineteen-year-old young man, mom fans still habitually called him "boy."
