Chapter 52

Feng Hui’s songs were touching and desolate. People couldn’t help but feel distressed about the fox demon’s experience and feel sorry for its tragedy. People and demons are different. For 1,000 years of cultivation to be abandoned just to seek true love, how can one not be moved? Even Fang Lizhe had to admire the talent of this wandering ghost.

However, the song sung by Su Yuanyuan gave people a completely different feeling. The same poignancy that touches one’s heart, but slowly turns into relief after the sorrow, and then into peace. It’s not a tragedy, but a ‘if the gentleman doesn’t have the heart, I will rest indifferent’ feeling. After listening to this song, it seemed to show the fox demon suddenly came to her senses. Forgetting the ungrateful man, elegantly and calmly turned around, and became a beautiful and powerful fox demon again.

Fang Lizhe couldn’t get back to his senses for a long while after listening to it. It was obviously not in line with the tragedy people often talk about, but he felt that this was the real fox demon. How many hardships has the fox demon experienced in practicing for thousands of years? How can she be devastated by a failed relationship? Even if she accidentally lost her cultivation, it was more likely that she would return to the mountain to recultivate and make a comeback. How could a fox demon who could persist in cultivating for thousands of years easily sink into misery in depression and die?

At this moment, Fang Lizhe suddenly thought of the last figure of Su Yuanyuan in the film. That wasn’t a lonely figure at all, but an elegant and indifferent figure. She didn’t go back to the mountain to escape and be miserable for life, but having experienced many things and many people. He even felt that, when she appeared again, her cultivation would be deeper than last time, becoming stronger, and won’t be easily hurt by anyone again.

He suddenly reached out and caressed the top of Su Yuanyuan’s head as he spoke with distress, “Did you suffer a lot when you first came to the human world?”

He thought of the fox demon in the film. When she first arrived in the world, she was laughed at, cheated on, schemed against, and bullied. Did his Susu also experience such a period of suffering before she became so clever? The scene he imagined occupied his mind and made his heart feel stifled. Why didn’t he meet Susu earlier?

However, Su Yuanyuan rubbed his palm and happily said, “No, the first person I met was you!”

Fang Lizhe was shocked. It turned out that there was such a wonderful fate between them. Is Su Yuanyuan attached to him because of this? Is that why they got married?

Su Yuanyuan didn’t realize her singing had caused Fang Lizhe’s mind to be filled with these thoughts, as she had already lowered her head to chew up the chicken leg with relish. With that carefree look, he knew she really hadn’t experienced any painful ordeal.

Fang Lizhe relaxed as he looked at Su Yuanyuan’s snow-white head and smiled unconsciously. As his worries dissipated, he was in the mood to reflect on the song he just listened to. It seemed to leave a lingering rhythm in his ears, soothing his mind and body, giving him the determination to let go of the past and live positively. Su Yuanyuan’s singing voice was also very beautiful, and it was really a song worth remembering. The smile on his lips deepened thoughtlessly. The more he looked at the little one, the cuter he found her. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and rub the fur on her head. He smiled and said, “How come you know everything? You can act so well and sing so well, what a great surprise!”

Su Yuanyuan gave him a blank look, appearing unsurprised. “Because I am a fox! Have you ever seen a vixen who can’t sing and dance? Acting is more of a natural talent; how can we charm people if we can’t act?”

“I’ve only seen you. I don’t know what other vixens are like.” He didn’t know why, but listening to Su Yuanyuan talk about charming others, he had a stuffy feeling in his heart. Are her amazing acting skills just to charm people? Charm who? Other men? Fang Lizhe suddenly picked Su Yuanyuan up, and confined her tightly in his arms before getting up to walk towards the bedroom. “It’s time for a nap.”

“Wait, my chicken leg…”

“It’s cold. If you eat too much, you will get a stomach ache. Sleep first.” Fang Lizhe carefully wiped the grease stains from the corners of Su Yuanyuan’s mouth, and then directly hugged her and slept in the master bedroom. This was the first time they laid in the same bed after separating their rooms. Cuddling the warm, soft little fur ball, he had a feeling as if there were no more worries. Fang Lizhe closed his eyes and laid on his side with his chin against Su Yuanyuan, worried that she would be kicked out of bed. After all, it was his strong request to sleep in separate rooms, but now he came running to hug the other party. Su Yuanyuan was a little annoyed. However, after waiting for a while, he only heard Su Yuanyuan whisper, “Demons aren’t afraid of the cold,” and then she huddled up and slept next to him.

The corners of Fang Lizhe’s mouth curved, and his mood became particularly good all of a sudden.

After a peaceful nap, Fang Lizhe immediately informed the studio to book a recording studio as quickly as possible, and to recruit professionals to prepare for a recording session. The secretary asked if the studio was going to sign a new person, but he only said it would be kept a secret for the time being. Su Yuanyuan was a small fox. She can be an actress, but not a singer. That was asking for trouble.

At the same time, Fang Lizhe also contacted Director Xu and sent a recording of Su Yuanyuan singing, saying that a friend’s song might be suitable for the ‘Demon Fox’s theme song. He now had a certain position in the entertainment circle, and he got familiar with Director Xu when filming, so naturally Director Xu had to give him this face. Thus, the original decision to sign a contract with Feng Hui was pushed back with an excuse, making Feng Hui and Xiang Tong furious.

Still, Feng Hui had the original owner’s memories and knew Fang Lizhe, his ‘best friend’. So, he didn’t believe Fang Lizhe could come up with any good songs to compete with himself. Even more, he was a man from the future, and he chose those classics from the future. Naturally, he was more confident that no one could beat him. What good song hasn’t he heard before?

Because of this confidence, Feng Hui discussed with Xiang Tong. The two people who were eager to step on Fang Lizhe and get their face back, hit it off, and immediately contacted the water army to create problems for him.

Before the recording in the studio was finished, gossip broke out on the Internet. Feng Hui and Fang Lizhe, the former best friends, once again went against each other and competed for the ‘Demon Fox’s theme song. Netizens didn’t have to be reminded of the feud between the two. After all, it wasn’t too long ago when they clashed, and the counter slap was so powerful. Even passers-by knew a thing or two. Now, seeing the two fighting again, they came to watch the fun, gather together and make it lively.

To say that Feng Hui’s character was poor was an understatement. He betrayed his brother and stuck a knife behind his back, and didn’t cover it up smoothly. He also acted affectionately to get fans, but cheated with two other women, and he didn’t show any remorse afterwards. However, poor character was just poor character. Almost everyone could hum two lines of the classic song he wrote and composed himself. Although the album he released later didn’t explode, it was only because he couldn’t sing, but the song itself was very good. This was a testament to his talent. He was one of the best lyricists and songwriters, and there were very few in the circle who could match him. If he hadn’t been blocked, the Song Kings and Queens would all line up to be invited to sing by him.

On the contrary, on Fang Lizhe’s side, when the whole network was scolding him before, all his materials were pulled out. He sang well, but he couldn’t write lyrics and music at all, and there were no particularly talented songwriters around him. Such a comparison was somewhat nuanced. After the water army carried the rhythm of discussion, people always felt that Fang Lizhe was a bit overreaching this time. It was probably because Feng Hui wanted to turn over, he deliberately opposes him and says he had a suitable song. After becoming popular, do you have to use your network status to suppress your enemies?

Some say this revenge was brutal, and Feng Hui deserved it. Since he sent his own good brother to death, he should be prepared to be suppressed and banned now. Others said that Fang Lizhe had gone too far. After all, Feng Hui was so miserable, and he hadn’t suffered any real damage. He didn’t have to drive him off the edge, right?

Although Fang Lizhe soon discovered the online trends and let the public relations department pay attention to it, there was always that part of the population that was convinced that whoever was weak was justified. The previous incident was so long ago. Now, Fang Lizhe was as popular as a traffic niche, but Feng Hui was down and out, and no one wanted his song. Suddenly there were some people who began to lament and sigh, inexplicably showing some love for talents, saying that they shouldn’t let these disturbances bury real talents.

Su Yuanyuan was so angry she laughed when she saw these comments. What’s wrong with being talented? If they’re talented, you shouldn’t pay attention to their character? Besides, that punk Feng Hui didn’t have any talent at all, and got all the glory by plagiarizing. If she had evidence, she would have nailed Feng Hui on the pillar of shame! She snorted coldly, and her little paws scratched at the tablet, “Isn’t that scum just trying to hype up the heat? He was almost forgotten, but now he’s turning everything over. He’s trying to make a comeback ah!”

Fang Lizhe put on his radiation-proof glasses and typed on the computer while saying, “If he could really come up with a few classic songs, he might really turn over. If he doesn’t film or sing, he won’t get much exposure. After all, as long as he works full-time behind the scenes and only writes songs for Song Kings and Song Queens, then not many people would pay attention to his situation. After a long time, his songs would still be sought after. After all, the Song Kings and Queens have many fans. He took the right step. Without your song, he would have been taken seriously again by Starlight when he signed with Director Xu.”

Su Yuanyuan threw away the tablet with a grunt, thinking to herself that Feng Hui was so lucky to have a male lead halo. Even without being the male lead of ‘Demon Fox’, he could still get the theme song on it. Not only could he rely on this opportunity to get rid of being blacklisted, but he could also smoothly approach the white moonlight in his heart. It was really killing two birds with one stone. If he succeeds, even if Starlight’s President didn’t like him, he won’t have a hard time and still get money.

Unfortunately, it was Feng Hui’s bad luck to go against her. She had a lot of fox songs, all of which were related to fox demons. The big deal was to let Director Xu pick one, and Director Xu must be blind if he chose Feng Hui. Now, Feng Hui could be so deceitful, she will see how he’s going to make a fool of himself!

The online quarrel was getting more and more intense, and the song thing was just the beginning. Then the water army started to scold Fang Lizhe for using Su Yuanyuan to earn money, for using his status to ignore Xiang Tong, and for having no ability to support an artist to get the Movie Emperor title …

Nonetheless, this time, Su Yuanyuan wasn’t angry. These people should just wait for it. If they dare to scold her Scholar, she will beat them all until their faces are swollen!
