Chapter 1334: Scandal
Xia Moyan said, “Will he do anything to you?”
Xia Yingluo smiled and laughed again. “Don’t worry about me, Uncle. I hid my identity just now not because I was afraid of him. I just think he’s… very annoying.” She didn’t want to be entangled in this relationship and simply wanted to steer clear of it. “But he is my Guardian, and the day I leave Earth, I’ll tell him my identity. He’ll have to obey me unconditionally.”
Xia Moyan was slightly relieved.
Thinking of energy, he asked, “How are you going to collect energy?”
She already had a plan in her mind, and at this time, methodically said, “The most abundant energy of each planet lies in the spiritual projection of their highest living beings. If this projection was directed at an individual, then the individual would acquire tremendous energy. According to your logic, it’s the power of faith, the power of worship.”
The two walked slowly along the gravel path under the altar. Xia Yingluo’s voice was clear and calm. “To make it clearer, I intend to become a superstar, just like mom. I intend to be admired by all, have countless fans following me frantically… by then, enough energy would be collected.”
“Enough to support you back to the Skatana Planet?”
“No.” Xia Yingluo smiled. “Enough to let me launch the spacecraft and continue to replenish the energy during the long journey.”
Xia Moyan looked a little suspicious. “The energy on Earth is so weak?”
Xia Yingluo saw his anxiety and comforted him. “Earth has great potential, but it has not yet been exploited. The Skatana Planet is so strong that they’re not comparable at all. Uncle, if it were a middle-class race in another universe, Earth’s energy would fill him up completely.”
Xia Moyan was relieved. As the National Preceptor, he had too much to worry about.
The two reached a consensus on the next plan, and the next day, they set off for S City.
Everyone in S City cared about her and asked how things were going. Xia Yingluo was afraid that they couldn’t bear it, so she didn’t tell them that she would leave Earth after a few years. She only said that she needed to replenish energy to maintain the operation of this distinctive body. The best way to replenish energy was to become a superstar to absorb worship.
It wasn’t a surprise since they had the reincarnation of a Phoenix at home.
Even Li Rui laughed lazily and said, “Okay, give this lazy girl something to do, so at least she doesn’t waste food at home all day long.”
“You’re the one wasting food.” She was a bit grieved and unhappy at her second brother. He just chuckled.
This was the sister he was familiar with, the baby of their whole family. Fortunately, she hadn’t changed with these recent events.
It wasn’t easy to be a big star, but she was born in the Li family, a family with half of the entertainment industry. For her, many things that others couldn’t obtain were just a piece of cake for them. For example, she could use first-class director and screenwriter resources to create a huge blockbuster for her, and invite various popular stars to play for her. Everything she used would be the best. She wasn’t pretentious, and of course, she should make good use of the resources she had. She wouldn’t pretend to push everything at her fingertips out, and she had no interest in climbing up step by step like an ordinary newcomer.
She would be a fool to not take shortcuts. Besides, time waited for no one. She must collect enough energy in just a few decades.
The Li family helped her arrange everything. The script creation had begun, and it was expected to start shooting in six months.
During this time, Xia Yingluo wasn’t idle.
She dressed up carefully, went out with Movie King Jiang Yu, went shopping, ate desserts, and spent Christmas…
The paparazzi photographed them many times, and the two were intimate and full of smiles.
The outside world rumored that they were in a relationship. A young and promising film king and a wealthy lady being together was also considered a love story. In the photos that were taken secretly, both of them were very beautiful. The handsome man and woman were charming, like the dreamy scenes that made people blush in idol dramas.
At a French restaurant.
Jiang Yu pushed his mobile phone in the middle of the table covered with a white tablecloth, smiled and showed it to Xia Yingluo. “This picture was taken last time. I asked you to turn your face a little bit further, but you refused to. Actually, it would have been more beautiful if you tilted your head a little, really.”
Xia Yingluo went to look at the photo. “Well, let’s say you’re right, but I’m still beautiful like this.”
“If you say so.” Jiang Yu laughed. She was really beautiful in the picture. Snow covered the Christmas trees, and her small white face was wrapped in a soft scarf. Her head was slightly raised, and a pair of crystal clear eyes looked at him with a little smile, like a quiet and well-behaved deer.
He looked at her and said with a soft voice, “That man is blind to not want you.”
“Exactly, humph.” She wrinkled her nose and took a sip of wine from the goblet. “Let him die. Anyway, I’m with you now.”
“Don’t give me high hopes.” Jiang Yu laughed bitterly. They were now only acting on the scene—not long ago, she suddenly found him and said that she wanted to borrow his popularity as the great film king to make a few days of news. Specifically, it was to make the outside world mistakenly think that they were a couple, thereby quickly increasing her popularity and reputation in preparation for the upcoming movie.
Jiang Yu had promised at the time.
At that time, Xia Yingluo was a little surprised. “You don’t want to think about it before promising me? It’s a gossip hype, we’re not really together. What’s in it for you?”
“The young lady from my boss’ house asked me for help, which is the biggest benefit.” Jiang Yu said with a smile, “I’m an actor of Skyart, shouldn’t I have a good relationship with you? In other words, you came to find me, and I’m grateful that you thought so highly of me.”
Xia Yingluo: “…”
When Jiang Yu saw that she was really affected, he said, “Okay, in fact, this thing is good for me. This scandal also depends on the other party. It’s definitely not a loss to be with a beautiful and family-friendly girl like you. It has also improved my image and popularity—by the way, it also helps me to block out some rotten peach blossoms. Recently, many little girls who don’t know their place wanted to hook me up and I got annoyed.”
Xia Yingluo laughed.
Jiang Yu glared at her gently. “Is it funny? I’m not lying to you. Some little actors can do everything to move up the ladder. Last spring, someone even put lust medicine in my water and made me completely frenzied.”
Xia Yingluo also heard from some of her elders who were artists when she was a child about these shady happenings in the entertainment industry. At this time, she could only look at Jiang Yu with sympathy. “Okay, let me save you.”
The two hit it off immediately, becoming a couple of gossips. They shopped every day and their popularity generally soared.
In the French restaurant, the two were enjoying a candlelight dinner while discussing the latest results. According to this momentum, Xia Yingluo had become very popular even without work. She smiled happily, clinking glasses with Jiang Yu, and they drank very well till they were a little drunk.
