Chapter 55

The filming of ‘Legend of the Demon King’ went very smoothly. After all, the director shot the script bit by bit, and the actors cooperated very carefully. Thus, there were very few retakes. On top of all, Su Yuanyuan, the little fox, almost never failed a scene, and she had the most important role. When others saw her excellence, they were too embarrassed to not work hard, so the whole crew was immersed in a gungho atmosphere.

While Su Yuanyuan was almost maintaining the headline of the hot search list, suddenly, news broke that attracted everyone’s attention — Feng Hui and Liang Xingyu were getting married! Fang Lizhe had been asking his people to keep an eye on Feng Hui’s side. But, he was very busy shooting with Su Yuanyuan, and Feng Hui didn’t target him, so he didn’t pay much attention to these things. Unfortunately, after he learned what happened this time, he was absolutely disgusted with Feng Hui!

Originally, Feng Hui was completely shameless after being blocked out by Xiang Tong. Failing that, he ran to please Liang Xingyu and groveled, saying flowery words, acting miserable, writing love songs, designing ‘hero saving the beauty’ scenes, taking risks, and using all kinds of tricks. It didn’t take long for Liang Xingyu to be fooled again. Liang Xingyu believed that he had turned over a new leaf. Since then, he only liked her, so she began to plan for her sweetheart and wanted to bring him back up. No one knew what Feng Hui told her, but she even agreed to force Starlight’s President to admit Feng Hui as his son-in-law by getting pregnant before marriage. Starlight’s President only had one daughter. Now, she was pregnant and dead set on Feng Hui, so how could he stop her? Even though he didn’t like Feng Hui, the President agreed to their marriage, gave Feng Hui to a well-known agent, and started to promote him again.

This time, Feng Hui found himself in a very suitable position, and he didn’t grab any good resources and offend people. Instead, he directly wrote a few classic songs and gave them to Song Kings and Song Queens for free. Their singing was the best advertisement. The songs were on fire, and he, the songwriter, naturally came up in value.

Those classic songs of later generations, any one song at random, could surprise the world. Feng Hui has positioned himself as a powerful songwriter. This could be considered as making a career behind the scenes, and he had become the son-in-law of Starlight Entertainment. Under normal circumstances, who could move him? As long as he was in a stable position, once he turned over, he could do better than before! As for that Xiang Tong, who disdained him, she was just a starlet under Starlight. He could still do whatever he wanted. He had even started to suppress Xiang Tong, anticipating for her to become nothing, and then raise her as a mistress to fulfill the obsession from his previous life.

Fang Lizhe had never given up on getting his best friend back, and even if he fought with Feng Hui, he would never give up, for fear that his best friend would one day return to a reputation tarnished beyond repair. Yet, he never thought that this intruding ghost would be so shameless in order to get to the top. Now, there was a child in Liang Xingyu’s belly, but he didn’t know whether it should be counted as his best friend’s descendant or the heir of this ghost.

Su Yuanyuan looked at Fang Lizhe’s tight frown and felt some heartache. She floated to him with her spell and stretched out her little paw to rub his brow, “Don’t be upset. I’ll think of a way and see if I can find the real Feng Hui.”

Fang Lizhe immediately turned to look at her upon hearing that, “Is there a way?”

“Hmm, wait a moment.” Su Yuanyuan jumped to the empty spot next to him and sat down, closed her eyes, and asked in her mind.

[001! Is there any way for me to summon Feng Hui’s soul? I will exchange it with wish points!]

[001: Host, your true fans are growing rapidly now, and your cultivation speed is getting faster and faster. It should only take 4 years to have enough cultivation to summon a soul, is exchanging with wish points worth it?]

[Su Yuanyuan: You said that my true fans are growing rapidly. All this is only possible due to Scholar’s efforts. If it wasn’t for him, I would have had to wait for 7 or 8 years longer to cultivate my third tail. Now that I’ve gotten a lot of benefits, I don’t want to see the Scholar upset and unhappy. I want to help him find his best friend.]

Originally, 001 was trying to persuade Su Yuanyuan to think more about herself, but after listening to her reasons, it felt that it was unable to refute it. Although summoning would cost a lot of wish points now, weren’t they earned by Fang Lizhe? The grace of others should be returned indeed.

001 thought, this may be what Su Yuanyuan was saying; ‘Life shouldn’t only be about wish points. To be more human is to be happy.’ Therefore, it didn’t dissuade her anymore, and directly deducted 1000 wish points from Su Yuanyuan, giving her the mana to be able to summon a soul once. This left Su Yuanyuan with 2367 wish points, far from 10,000 points, but it believed that Fang Lizhe would help its Host shorten the time needed to cultivate.

With the sudden deduction of 1,000 wish points, Su Yuanyuan’s hair instantly dulled a little. You won’t notice it if you don’t look closely, but Fang Lizhe had been staring at her closely as it happened, and he immediately turned pale!

“Susu! What’s wrong with you?” He was afraid that he might disturb Su Yuanyuan, so he didn’t dare to speak loudly. He sat on his knees and asked her anxiously, “Susu, Susu? Can you hear me? Was it the loss of your cultivation? You don’t need to help me find him. I’ll think of another way, so please don’t hurt yourself.” He gripped his fist tightly and turned pale. He thought that Su Yuanyuan would say that there was a way with a demon spell, but he never thought it would come with some loss of her cultivation. Seeing the change in Su Yuanyuan at this moment, he was full of remorse. With her eyes sealed shut, and the lack of a response, he didn’t dare to disturb again, only left to look at Su Yuanyuan with tightly pursed lips full of worry.

For the first time, he hated himself for being just an ordinary person. In this case, he couldn’t help with anything. If not for him, wouldn’t Su Yuanyuan have been able to cultivate her human form a long time ago?

Meanwhile, Su Yuanyuan’s soul was out of her body at this time. She had chased Feng Hui’s soul to the neighboring city. Feng Hui’s soul was attracted at the moment of casting, but a suction force sucked Feng Hui away. Her mana could only be used once, and she hadn’t gotten a chance to talk to Feng Hui, so she chased after him.

Fortunately, her soul form could reach thousands of miles instantaneously. In a few minutes, she caught up to Feng Hui, and followed him to a hospital in a neighboring city. She saw that Feng Hui’s soul was sucked into a patient’s body, and it only took a glance to understand that the patient was a vegetative person. Because of a car accident last year, his family was gone, and the perpetrator had no money to provide compensation. Now, he was left unattended, and his condition was very poor. After a while, he may die.

Su Yuanyuan’s eyes rounded up. She had guessed correctly; Feng Hui really became a vegetative person! She looked at the pale, thin boy on the hospital bed, and patted her heart gratefully. She felt relief, because she thought of using her wish points to summon the soul. If she really waited 4 more years to cultivate the third tail and then summon the soul, the Feng Hui they would find might already be dead!

She once again confirmed Feng Hui’s ward and name, and quickly returned home to her own body, and said, “Ah Zhe, I’ve found Feng Hui!”

Fang Lizhe hugged her and touched her with trembling hands. “Susu, how are you? Just now… You didn’t move, and you even stopped breathing, I thought …”

Su Yuanyuan was shocked and kissed his cheek intimately. She spoke with a smile, “I’m fine, just had a little problem. Feng Hui’s soul ran away, so I rushed out of my body to chase him. I just didn’t have the opportunity to say anything earlier. Don’t worry. Nothing happened to me, and I found Feng Hui. Ah Zhe, let’s go quickly. Feng Hui is in a bad state now. He has entered another person’s body and became a vegetative person. If no one cares for him, he might die.”

“Okay, we’ll leave right now.” Fang Lizhe looked at her worriedly as he packed his things. “Are you really okay? Why do I have the feeling that you’re not quite right? Previously, you said it would take 7 to 8 years to summon a soul. Did you sacrifice some of your cultivation to summon his soul just now?”

“Oh, there’s nothing to be worried about. How popular am I these days? The loss points is equivalent to losing some true fans. If you feel bad for me, make me even more popular. It would be great to have more fans!” Su Yuanyuan lost a bit of cultivation, but she didn’t feel any discomfort. Besides, she really didn’t care. Instead, she was glad to help Fang Lizhe find Feng Hui. She urged, “Let’s go, Feng Hui is a vegetative person now. Still, I can cure him, so don’t worry.”

Fang Lizhe’s confused thoughts calmed down. He hugged Su Yuanyuan tightly and promised, “I will definitely make you even more popular, with many, many, countless true fans.”

The neighboring city wasn’t far away, and Fang Lizhe arrived at the hospital after a 2-hour drive. It wasn’t convenient for him to bring pets in, so Su Yuanyuan simply avoided the cameras and jumped in through the window. Fang Lizhe came as a friend of the patient, and there was no one in the hospital who didn’t know him. He was taken to Feng Hui’s ward after he showed his ID card to register at the front desk.

Feng Hui, now named Lin Xi, was only 19 years old. After spending a long time in bed, his face appeared ghastly and grim, with his cheeks sunken. Yet, there were still traces of his former good features, so one could imagine that he must have been a very handsome school boy when he was healthy.

Nevertheless, Fang Lizhe couldn’t see the shadow of his best friend in this strange vegetative person. Thinking that, he looked under the bed, where Su Yuanyuan was hiding. After receiving Su Yuanyuan’s affirmation, he took a deep breath and discussed transferring him with his doctors. Lin Xi had been here for over a year, with not a single soul caring for him at all, while the perpetrator was sentenced to prison and couldn’t pay for medical expenses. Now that Fang Lizhe was willing to make up the medical expenses and take over caring for Lin Xi, of course the hospital was very willing. Fang Lizhe asked to transfer the person that very afternoon.

On the way, Su Yuanyuan wrapped Lin Xi’s head with spiritual power and began to treat him. People’s brains are very complicated, with nerves and blood vessels would have problems if anything went wrong, and medicine can do nothing for vegetative people. But when Su Yuanyuan intruded with spiritual power, she could clearly see every part inside. Although she had never studied medicine, she could sense where it was good and where it was bad.

Finding out what was wrong and repairing it slowly with spiritual power was like smoothing a mess of wool. Although it was tedious, it wasn’t impossible. 2 hours later, when Lin Xi entered another hospital, his examination results showed that his condition had improved.

The hospital couldn’t explain this phenomenon, and could only attribute it to the fact that people close to the patient could wake them up. They asked Fang Lizhe to talk to Lin Xi more often, and maybe Lin Xi would wake up one day. Such a thing was not unheard of, and there were cases where people that had been in a vegetative state for 18 years woke up. So, it wasn’t surprising that Lin Xi could get well.

After finding Lin Xi, Fang Lizhe removed the worry from his mind. He accompanied Su Yuanyuan on her shoots during the day and took care of Lin Xi in the hospital at night. He had been telling Lin Xi about what happened this year, and Su Yuanyuan had been helping treat him. They both ignored the rest, and Feng Hui seemed too busy preparing for the wedding to come after them at this time.

Half a month later, Fang Lizhe was talking to Lin Xi while watching TV in the ward. When the entertainment news was on, he saw Feng Hui inside and frowned. “Feng Hui, the man who replaced you, got married today and became Starlight’s son-in-law. You need to get better quickly. I’m still waiting for you to wake up and personally take revenge!”

“Of… Of course… I have to personally take revenge…”

When a weak and dry voice sounded, Fang Lizhe was stunned and looked down suddenly. Unbelievably, he said, “Feng, Feng Hui?”

Lin Xi slowly opened his eyes, tugged at the corners of his mouth weakly, and stared at the TV. “Ah Zhe… Thank you…”

Fang Lizhe’s eyes turned sour, then he rushed out of the door to call a doctor. After the doctor checked, it was confirmed that Lin Xi had returned to normal, and all that remained was physical rehabilitation and recuperation. He could go home after a week’s observation in the hospital.

This was great news! Fang Lizhe looked at Su Yuanyuan behind the curtain and his eyes curved. This little fox really brought him so much good fortune.
