The Big Shot’s Girlfriend Is a Demoness chapter 19
In the military hospital, Li Mo, who had experienced a shipwreck, couldn’t sleep and felt a bit crappy.
When the rescue ship found them, the scene of Boss Feng rushing towards Luoxi with a look of eagerness and concern kept replaying in her mind.
The scene seemed familiar. That kind of extremely gentle concern, meticulous care, and attention, willingness to sacrifice oneself for you was incredibly familiar……even she had experienced it just a few years ago.
She was a young and inexperienced girl who found a successful and mature man relentlessly trying to make a good impression on her. Even though Feng boss wasn’t her type at first, she couldn’t resist his persistent efforts over the years.
When she realized that she had started to like that man and held him dear in her heart, she naturally confessed her feelings to him.
However, the anticipated future of becoming lovers and working hard and happily together in the entertainment industry did not come.
That man looked at her with embarrassment and astonishment, saying that she was an important artist in the company and he had no such thoughts about her. He had always seen her as a younger sister.
Seen. Her. As. A. Younger. Sister.
Even now, when Li Mo thinks back to what he said, she still grits her teeth in anger.
Who is your little sister? She has no shortage of elder brothers!
Did anyone treat their little sister like he did?
Even a boyfriend couldn’t do that!
That bastard always used this tactic to hit on girls, to the point where she couldn’t resist and she fell for it. And now, he has the nerve to call her his little sister? Bah!
Li Mo felt like she was deceived by Boss Feng. At that time, she was doing well in Batian Entertainment, and some people who were close to her were more or less aware of their affair.
When Li Mo confessed her feelings, she didn’t keep it a secret from anyone in the company. No one had expected that Boss Feng would reject her so decisively.
Although Li Mo appeared gentle on the surface, in reality, she was proud and thin-skinned. After this incident, she felt that she couldn’t stay in Batian Entertainment anymore. Later on, she accidentally came across that bastard comforting Li Na with his ‘gentleness and friendliness’.
This familiar scene made her accept the headhunting from her current company in one go.
Men didn’t matter. From now on, she only cared about work!
Unexpectedly, that bastard had offended someone and not long after Li Mo agreed to change companies, Batian Entertainment was exposed for its harsh treatment of artists and was severely criticized in the industry, leaving it unable to fight back.
In the heat of the moment and having already signed an intention letter with her new company, Li Mo had no room for regret.
She left Batian Entertainment and stayed far away from that man.
She thought she had forgotten him and moved on from that relationship, but it was not until she inadvertently overheard gossip at her company that Batian Entertainment couldn’t hold on and was about to go bankrupt….
Li Mo couldn’t explain how she felt when she heard the news. When Deserted Island Survival invited her to participate in the shooting, she inexplicably made a condition that she would bring along a person from Batian Entertainment.
She thought to herself at the time that it was where she debuted after all, and if it went bankrupt just like that it would be too embarrassing.
Despite her manager’s confusion and anger, Li Mo didn’t back down.
She had thought Li Na would be the one coming, but to her surprise, it was a newcomer. In her, she once again saw the familiar enthusiasm of that man.
“That bastard!”
Li Mo turned over and sat up. She reached for her phone, intending to message Luoxi and remind her not to be fooled by her boss.
That guy was an emotionally inept dumbass whose used love tactics to build a sibling-like bond. Luoxi was such a good kid. She mustn’t be ruined by him!
But as she unlocked her phone, Li Mo remembered that she didn’t have Luoxi’s number. She cursed silently to herself.
Li Mo couldn’t contact Luoxi, and for some reason, the signal in the hospital was also bad. She couldn’t even play on her phone because it couldn’t connect to the internet. She tossed and turned all night and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
The next day, she was told that she was fine and she could be discharged from the hospital. Li Mo’s manager also rushed over.
The manager had been worried sick, but the first thing Li Mo asked him was about the whereabouts of the newcomer from Batian Entertainment.
The manager: “……..”
The manager assumed that Li Mo was still thinking about Batian Entertainment and couldn’t help but advise, “It’s said that the rescue team went to look for the newbie to gather information on the tsunami, and Boss Feng from Batian Entertainment went with them. They’re not in the hospital. Don’t be angry, there is still a long way to go.”
Li Mo knew her manager misunderstood, but she didn’t feel like explaining.
For now, she couldn’t find Luoxi, so she had no choice but to post a photo of herself and Luoxi on the rescue boat onto social media, with a caption: ‘Everything’s fine, thank you.’
They had been drifting at sea for several hours. The two girls in the photo looked a little disheveled.
Despite their lack of makeup and being wrapped in blankets, one of them smiled at the camera while the other looked slightly curious. Coupled with the dim tones around them, the photo exuded a sense of fresh and warm beauty.
As soon as the post was published, it immediately became a trending topic.
Li Mo’s popularity was not just hype. Her tens of millions of fans were usually very active, and because of the tsunami incident, they were even more invested in her news.
Many people were paying attention to the social media early in the morning, and upon seeing the photo, fans exclaimed, “Ahahahahahahahahah, thank goodness nothing bad happened. Porcelain Doll, you still look good even when you look haggard!’
At the same time, they wondered why she was taking a photo with a newbie from Batian Entertainment. Was it really because their relationship improved after the disaster, or were they just plastic sisters1?
Another crowd of visual fans2 exclaimed ‘Ahahahahahah’ without any stance.
‘Two beauties standing together is a double beauty attack!’
‘Since Porcelain Doll has the ability to seduce a beauty, why not have her create a social account?’
‘Ah, Luoxi wifey is the most beautiful!’
‘Bah, someone take the crazy person upstairs3 away!’
This was a group of people who became fans of Luoxi. They searched for her information with great pain, only to find out that their idol didn’t even have a social media account!
What was Batian Entertainment doing? As expected, a poor company was really unreliable!
The group of people swiftly saved the photos that Li Mo posted and, while admiring them, constantly encouraged her to post more.
They wanted to see beauties – beauties from different angles and under different lighting!
The ambiguous relationship between Li Mo and Luoxi successfully dominated the hot search. Although the photos were beautiful and showed a good relationship between the two, most people thought it was just for show and the photos didn’t prove anything.
At most, they just experienced a tsunami together and had to maintain a harmonious appearance.
At the same time, the one who dominated the hot search alongside Li Mo was a streamer named ‘If I’m not handsome, call the police’.
Before the show’s recording, he gained fans because of Luoxi’s looks and he even made a bet that this newbie would be a ‘soy sauce background board4 ‘. Many people were waiting for the show’s release to see him ‘eat the camera’.
However, due to the earthquake and tsunami, the filming was suspended and there was obviously no completed show to watch. Thus, the bet about eating the camera was never fulfilled.
The fans and spectators were dissatisfied and pushed ‘Not handsome, call the police’ to the top of the hot search, howling that he couldn’t get out of the bet to eat the camera.
These two pieces of news dominated the hot search and brought a wave of popularity to Luoxi.
Many melon-eating people5 who hadn’t paid attention to Deserted Island Survival were confused and did not understand what was happening. They couldn’t help but ask, “Who is that newbie you’re talking about?”
Then, they were explained with a long story and finally given the link to the streamer’s previous videos, where they were stunned by the mesmerizingly beautiful face and remembered the two words Tang Luoxi.
On the other hand, Little Golden Dragon cried as if heaven had fallen and earth had split, but it didn’t change Luoxi’s decision not to keep the skeleton.
Seeing that the skeleton it was interested in couldn’t be kept, Little Golden Dragon regretted for the first time ever why it had been gluttonous and brought along such a burden while running away from Asmana.
Luoxi frowned and contemplated how to ‘turn in’ this skeleton. She couldn’t continue to say that it was given to her by a nurse shark, which was not too credible.
This skeleton didn’t look like an ordinary person, and the means it used during its lifetime were beyond what an ordinary person could commit.
Out of caution, Luoxi didn’t touch the skeleton and even dragged away Little Golden Dragon, forbidding it from touching it.
Perhaps it was getting impatient, the booklet embedded in the jade-like skeleton’s chest fell in front of Luoxi with a thud.
Luoxi: “…was it soaked in the sea for too long so it’s spoilt?”
Given that it had been embedded in the chest for so many years without getting wet or rotten, it was obvious that something had been done to it. However, even the most powerful means could not overcome the effects of time, which could erode everything.
Little Golden Dragon let out a ‘waaah’, twisted its horns, and, threw itself onto the booklet.
It’s its opportunity. Its!
Little Golden Dragon’s speed was too fast, and Luoxi couldn’t stop it.
She watched as Little Golden Dragon rushed over, and then the booklet glowed with white light, repelling it back. The force wasn’t strong, just enough to lightly block Little Golden Dragon and ensure that no matter what methods it used, it couldn’t get close.
Can see but cannot eat6 ……Little Golden Dragon gnashed its teeth, experiencing this familiar feeling.
It tried for a while, and finally, like a wilted eggplant7, it turned its head limply and said, “…you do it.”
Luoxi expressed that she didn’t want to do it and didn’t want to touch things of unknown origin. Who knew if there was any danger?
Little Golden Dragon held back its anger and unwillingly explained, “It’s not dangerous. This person’s skeleton emits a lustrous radiance of jade. This is something only people who have accumulated great merits during their lifetime can have. Moreover, the qi8 in this booklet is very positive. It’s definitely a good thing.”
Luoxi looked deeply at Little Golden Dragon.
Oh, so it knew it was a good thing.
Little Golden Dragon felt uneasy being stared at. It coiled up into a circle and muttered in a low voice, “Can’t I keep a little something for myself?”
Luoxi didn’t mind its hidden agenda and reached out to pick up the booklet.
It was strange. The white light that blocked Little Golden Dragon did not stop her, as if it were just an ordinary booklet.
She flipped through it and found that it was a journal.
There was not only one person’s handwriting on it, some were new some old, as if it had been passed down through generations with each successor adding their own things to the journal.
The content was miscellaneous, including insights into the Taoist practice, emotional journey, orthodoxy, and miscellaneous studies. The first page of the diary had a sentence marked in the center: “The body of Celestial Yin[8], destiny shall grant its possession”.
Luoxi stared at these words, unable to understand.
She only had a limited understanding of Huaxia’s culture, let alone the secrets of the Inner World.
‘Destiny shall grant its possession’ probably meant that not anyone could open this journal. But what was the body of Celestial Yin?”
“What’s written inside?”
Little Golden Dragon jumped onto her wrist and anxiously extended its head to see, but all it saw was a white page. It couldn’t see anything written in the journal!
Luoxi explained briefly and asked if it knew what the ‘Body of Celestial Yin’ was.
Little Golden Dragon looked puzzled. What was that?
Receiving a look of ‘You don’t even know what this is, yet you dare to have designs on it?’ from Luoxi, it spat out the Hyperbrain and said, “Wait, let me check.”
The island base mainly used an internal network, and ordinary phones and computers didn’t have a signal there. But the Hyperbrain was Asmana’s technological achievement. It was a big daddy compared to the Earth’s network. Although it was not working well now, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse9.
After searching for a long time, Little Golden Dragon finally found a tiny record in countless databases…
