Chapter 1407: Chapter 1003, Shanaela Returns

Arrive at the place where the animation is being produced.

In the dim hall, dozens of skeletons sit silently in front of equipment, their white bone fingers tapping the keyboard, producing a faint ’click-clack’ sound.

The cold light from the screen reflects on their polished skulls, casting a bluish glow.

Wu Heng and Xiao Xiao walk in, their eyes turning to the wall where dozens of storyboard sheets are pasted, depicting the movements and scenes of the nine-tailed demon fox.

After all, among skeletons, there’s no way to communicate through language, so this method can better enhance the work.

The skeleton director responsible for the project stands up, its neck spine making a light ’crackle’, and hands over a sheet of paper.

Wu Heng takes it and flips it open, Xiao Xiao hovering on his shoulder looking over.

Main character voice casting:

Daji (Heavenly Fox Clan girl): Requires a clear and lively voice.

Jiang Ziya (Kunlun Cultivator): Steady and harmonious, with rhythm.

Yin Li (Dynasty Princess): Sweet voice with hidden authority.

Black Fox King (villain Elder): Hoarse and deep, with millennia of vicissitudes.

Crow Spirit (comedic role): Sharp and funny, can occasionally break tone...

More than twenty characters need voice casting.

Wu Heng looks at the voice casting sheet and some storyboard illustrations on the wall, clearly not the original version of The Investiture of the Gods, but with the Black Fox King as the antagonist, and the friendship line between Daji and the Princess becoming the story’s core.

"I will arrange the actors properly," Wu Heng says while putting the sheet away, "You continue with your work."

The skeletons sit back down in their positions.

With Xiao Xiao, he strolls through the office space again, finding nothing much to see, then casts [Teleportation Technique] to return to the Island Lord’s Mansion.

Entering the living room, Xiao Xiao follows and flies back.

"Uncle, when will the animation be ready to watch?" Xiao Xiao continues to ask.

"Choosing the right roles also requires a certain amount of time," Wu Heng says as he walks.

Although he doesn’t know much about animation, selecting suitable human voice actors is not that simple.

At least some time is needed.

Xiao Xiao ponders for a moment, "Let Aunt voice Daji, Dynasty Princess can be voiced by Sister Xi Ligui or Fifth Princess Sister, I’ll voice the villain Black Fox King."

"Your aunt’s mouth, when she speaks, sounds like collecting debts; where’s the maiden vibe?" Wu Heng grumbles and continues, "Besides, the script writes about Black Fox Elder, not Black Fox King."

Sitting beside, he continues, "What’s needed is a male voice that’s hoarse and deep, you better voice the Dynasty Princess."

"That’s no fun, such a role has no appeal when you hear it." Xiao Xiao thinks again, "Then I’ll voice the Crow Spirit."

"That works too, you and your aunt can discuss it; leave the casting to her," Wu Heng nods.

Xiao Xiao says, "Uncle, give me the list, I’ll take it to Aunt now."

Wu Heng hands her the voice casting sheet, and Xiao Xiao uses her mind to manipulate objects, flying upstairs.

At the staircase, a voice filled with intonation can still be heard, "Tremble, humans, gugut, gugut~!"

Downstairs, Mini walks over to the staircase and looks up, "What’s that weird sound?"

"It’s nothing, Xiao Xiao is just fooling around." Wu Heng says.

"Xiao Xiao is happy every day." Mini smiles and continues, "Master, it’s lunchtime."

Wu Heng gets up and follows her to the dining room.

...

Afternoon sunlight filters through the gaps in the vines, casting dappled shadows on the stone path.

The courtyard’s gate is knocked, and Mini runs to open the door.

When she returns, a figure cloaked in a dark brown travel cloak follows behind her, the edge of the cloak’s hood lightly raised by a few wisps of blue-gray hair.

"Master!" Mini leaps joyfully, "Sister Shanaela is back!"

Wu Heng walks out from the training room, seeing the figure following Mini remove the hood.

Shanaela stands bathed in light, her bright eyes filled with laughter, her cheeks flushing faintly, a few strands of hair sticking to her sweaty temples.

"Missed me?" Shanaela slightly tilts her head, her earlobes showing a pink glow in the sunlight.

Wu Heng strides over, sweeping her up in his arms, spinning around on the spot, to Shanaela’s surprised exclamation, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Put me down!" Shanaela playfully frowns and lightly punches his shoulder, "I’m sweaty; stop fooling around."

Wu Heng sets her down, cupping her delicate Wood Elf face and kisses her heavily on the cherry lips.

"You tell me whether I missed you!"

Shanaela’s face flushes deeper and gives him a punch in the stomach, then takes off her coat and casually hangs it on the coat rack by the door.

Then, she stretches her slender figure and lazily sinks into the sofa.

The maids immediately gather around, greeting her with chatter.

Shanaela smiles and responds, as if she were at home, chatting for a moment, her gaze moving past the crowd to Viola standing in the corner.

"Viola!" Shanaela says with a smile, "Welcome to Gold and Silver Island."

Whether on the phone or during the island’s card collecting frenzy upon return, Shanaela knows of this newly joined witch.

To Shanaela, regardless of the previous identity of the other, there isn’t much animosity.

With the current situation at Gold and Silver Island, indeed, high-level professionals joining is necessary.

Wu Heng, unlike the other leaders of the association, has the Holy Court, while the other four leaders have their own races.

They have countless people at their command.

Wu Heng is different; under him are only skeletons, difficult to autonomously do anything, while the other maids’ levels are too low.

He needs some unique identity high-level professionals to join, to strengthen Gold and Silver’s power.

Hearing Shanaela greet her, Viola lightly bows, "Shanaela, Madam!"
