"Holy crap, that’s incredible. If they ever changed careers to become fight choreographers, they’d put me out of a job."
But the fight choreographer quickly shook his head, realizing he was worrying for nothing. With their status, why would they ever want to be a fight choreographer?
Luo Feifei could act in any random show and make more than ten times his salary.
As for Li Xiang, word was that he earned hundreds of millions a year, making him one of the highest-paid influencers around.
In reality, Li Xiang’s income was far greater than what his online followers speculated. But because he was relatively low-key and always paid his taxes on time, no one ever came to investigate him.
Making a temporary cameo for a scene opposite Luo Feifei was just a bit of playful fun between them, but it was more than enough to satisfy the director.
Soon, the day’s shoot was complete.
Li Xiang dropped Luo Feifei off at her hotel and then left.
Luo Feifei’s mother was also there, making things a bit inconvenient.
"Mom, these are the skincare products Li Xiang got for you." Luo Feifei pulled the expensive cosmetics and skincare items from her bag and pressed them into her mother’s hands.
"Did he really get these for me? You’re not just regifting something he gave you to make him look good, are you?" Luo Feifei’s mother asked suspiciously.
Luo Feifei quickly explained, "Of course not! He really picked these out for you. The gifts he gave me were these snacks and... oh, and this Chanel bag."
"Well, the boy is thoughtful," her mother conceded. She already had a decent impression of Li Xiang. When they had stayed at his home before, he had taken excellent care of both her and her daughter. Li Xiang and his grandmother were both kind and welcoming—a good family.
"Feifei, you and Li Xiang aren’t really dating, are you? You can’t be messing around before you turn eighteen." Luo Feifei’s mother was very worried about her daughter, who was still a minor. She didn’t want her daughter caught up in a teen pregnancy scandal; that would likely be the end of her career.
"Oh, Mom, what are you talking about? Brother Xiang and I are just... normal friends. It’s not even close to being serious yet," Luo Feifei retorted, her cheeks growing warm.
"Good. In any case, just be careful. Girls are the ones who usually get the short end of the stick in these matters," her mother lectured earnestly.
"I know, Mom. I’m tired, I’m going to bed. See you tomorrow." Luo Feifei thought, ’Mom, you have no idea. When it comes to that, Brother Xiang is the one protecting himself, afraid of being taken advantage of.’
"See you tomorrow."
So, the two of them returned to their respective rooms. They were staying at the best hotel in town. Originally, her mother wanted to share a room, but Luo Feifei had insisted on getting her own, arguing, "I’m grown up now, I need my own space!" Besides, the production crew was paying for the rooms, so why be stingy? In the end, they each got a room, right next door to each other.
After returning to her room, Luo Feifei bolted the door, took a long bath, and changed into a sexy nightgown. Then she opened the window but kept the curtains drawn.
As for hidden cameras, of course there were none. Every time Luo Feifei stayed in a hotel, she would scan the room with her Insight Superpower. If she found any, she would shatter them instantly. She even made sure to sweep her mother’s room as well.
A short while later, a dark figure flashed past, and just as she expected, he was in the room.
Luo Feifei immediately threw herself into Li Xiang’s arms, burying her face in his broad chest.
"I’m all sweaty. I haven’t even showered."
"You don’t stink. You smell good," Luo Feifei said with a sweet smile.
"I’m here on business," Li Xiang said, gently pushing her away. The main reason was that if he held her any longer, he couldn’t guarantee he’d be able to restrain himself. Luo Feifei proclaimed herself the "Most Beautiful Girl in the Universe," and in the entertainment industry, at least, her looks were truly number one, completely unrivaled.
A beautiful girl like her hugging him so tightly, telling him he smelled good... The ego boost was immense. Li Xiang felt his self-control was already astonishing for managing not to pin her down right then and there.
Plenty of bigwigs were left stuttering and tongue-tied after meeting her, a testament to her charm. Though still young, the daughter of the Luo Family was blossoming into a woman of indescribable beauty.
"I knew it. You only come to see me when you need something. You know, you can visit even when you don’t have a reason," Luo Feifei said, taking Li Xiang’s hand as they sat down on the sofa together.
Li Xiang then took out the fragment of the Lance of Longinus.
It had once been a complete spear, but only a third of the shaft was the genuine article. Li Xiang had cut off and discarded the remaining, worthless parts.
"What’s this?" Luo Feifei asked, taking it from him. As she infused it with her Spiritual Power, the shaft reacted, and several characters in oracle bone script materialized on its surface.
Li Xiang explained the fragment’s origins in detail. "There should be two more pieces scattered across Europe," he said, "but I have no idea where. I was hoping to borrow your Divination Technique to figure out their general location."
Erin knows a bit of Astrology, but she isn’t an expert. When she found the coordinates for the Seven Kings’ Crown, she relied more on the Holy Blood in her veins and the mysterious heirlooms her family left behind, like a Sheepskin Scroll and the Iris Pattern Shield it contained.
Generally, there are no Extraordinary Particles on Earth anymore, so to enter the Extraordinary Realm, one option is the Spiritual Medicine rewarded by the system. All of Li Xiang’s companions relied on his Spiritual Medicine to make their breakthroughs.
But there are always exceptions. For example, Yaki Toto from South America specializes in classical tribal Spiritual Secret Techniques. His Spiritual Power is immense, making him a Half-step Extraordinary.
A National Martial Arts Grandmaster, immersed in traditional Martial Arts for decades, has long since mastered its true essence and can also be considered a Half-step Extraordinary.
Erin de Merovingian’s case is even more unique. The ancestral Holy Blood flowing through her veins is essentially a Spiritual Medicine in itself. She became Extraordinary after scraping her knee in the cellar of her ancestral home. Her blood dripped onto the rusty armrest of an old family throne, where it was stimulated by the Monarch Consciousness contained within, thereby activating her Holy Blood.
