Lin Fan was dumbfounded.
The favoritism was just too blatant, wasn’t it?
Why was there not even a single clap when he performed earlier, but now, with Xu Mo, they were practically clapping their hands raw?
Lin Fan really wanted to point at these people and ask,
"How much did Xu Mo pay you?
I’ll double it!"
"Mr. Lin Fan, our crew is about to start filming. Please leave if you’re not involved," Liu Yong’s voice rang out.
Lin Fan’s face darkened like a storm cloud.
This was a clear dismissal!!!
Ignoring the chubby guy in front of him, Lin Fan turned his gaze toward Lin An'an.
He flashed what he thought was a charming smile.
"Miss Lin An'an, weren’t you planning to leave? Want to join me?
My car is pretty spacious."
He was blatantly trying to steal her away.
Lin Fan’s target was Lin An'an.
As for the rest of these people, he probably wouldn’t see them again in this lifetime, so he didn’t bother being polite.
Liu Yong’s expression looked like he’d just stepped in dog poop.
This guy was a real piece of work!
His heart was in his throat.
Lin An'an had indeed been considering leaving earlier.
He wasn’t sure what she’d choose now.
The entire crew’s eyes turned toward Lin An'an.
Lin An'an snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and then spoke.
"Sorry, I’ve changed my mind.
Thank you for the offer."
She paused, then added, "Oh, and if I were to leave, I have my own car, so there’s no need to trouble you. Besides, we’re not exactly close."
The rejection was swift and absolute.
The smug smile on Lin Fan’s face vanished.
So, the clown was me all along?
In fact, Lin Fan wasn’t the only one who felt this way.
Xu Mo was thinking the same thing.
[Damn… what kind of nonsense is this?]
[Lin An'an, this isn’t how you play the game.]
[You’re a woman of your word.]
[If you say something, you stick to it, thank you very much.]
[You’re making this really hard for me!]
Xu Mo felt like he’d been played.
This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go!
Not long after, Lin Fan left with Ma Qun in tow.
What was the point of staying?
To humiliate himself further?
Once they were outside, Lin Fan’s face was still clouded with anger.
"Dragon King, should I arrange for someone to ambush that guy and teach him a lesson?" Ma Qun asked respectfully.
Lin Fan’s eyes grew even more ruthless. "No, I was going to have the Angel of Death teach that spoiled brat a lesson, but then I thought better of it. That trump card should be saved for later.
One strike, and that trash’s life will be over.
Let him enjoy himself for a few more days…"
Buzz—
Before Lin Fan could finish, his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Dragon King, I’m back."
Lin Fan took a deep breath, feeling a surge of excitement.
"You’re early?"
"Yeah, I got bored abroad."
"What time’s your flight? I’ll pick you up."
"No need. I’ll help you track down that Red Rose in the next couple of days."
"Good!"
After hanging up, Lin Fan exhaled heavily.
Every debt has its debtor.
Compared to Xu Mo, Lin Fan was more eager to make Red Rose pay a heavy price!
The Xu family would be swallowed up eventually, so there was no rush.
But Red Rose had taken his money for nothing.
If he didn’t settle the score,
and word got out among his peers,
he’d be the laughingstock of the industry.
In short—
Anyone who dared to swindle the Dragon King,
whether human or ghost, for whatever reason,
would have to pay it back with interest.
Back to Xu Mo’s side.
Xu Mo was still a bit dazed.
Wait…
The Dragon King had left.
So, who was he supposed to perform for now?
Song Yixue had already approached Xu Mo.
"Xu, your acting was absolutely amazing~"
"I’ve discussed it with Director Liu, and we’ll skip this scene for now and shoot the most exciting part!"
"With the acting skills you’ve shown earlier, it’ll be no problem!"
Xu Mo ignored Song Yixue’s flattery.
He really wanted to ask,
Why didn’t the Dragon King put in a bit more effort?
Then he might’ve won the beauty’s heart.
Damn it!
Did he think a top-tier beauty had no standards?
Not even trying, yet dreaming of winning her over.
What a pipe dream.
Xu Mo grumbled internally.
"Xu, are you listening to me?
Xu?
Hello?"
Song Yixue waved her delicate hand in front of Xu Mo’s face.
Xu Mo snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at her.
"I’m listening."
Song Yixue beamed. "That’s great…"
She repeated the earlier topic tirelessly.
Lin An'an hadn’t left.
Xu Mo’s acting skills had met the standard—
In fact, they’d exceeded it!
It was like seeing a glimmer of light in the darkness.
So, she chose to stay.
Director Liu Yong was grinning from ear to ear.
Xu Mo’s willingness to stay was an unexpected bonus.
And with Lin An'an, a big star, on board,
Liu Yong felt the Best Director award was within reach.
The script was solid, the cast was strong.
If the box office flopped,
it would only mean the audience didn’t appreciate it.
But Liu Yong knew it wouldn’t flop too badly.
With proper promotion,
they could still attract viewers.
No matter how you looked at it, it was a win.
Xu Mo had also been planning to slip away,
until he heard what they were about to film next.
——Sichuan Opera.
Yes, it was that absurd.
Xu Mo’s expression was complicated.
He didn’t know how Song Yixue could say such things without blushing.
She seemed to get more and more excited as she spoke.
"The scene is pretty straightforward.
Since your identities were exposed earlier, you were forced to separate, but after overcoming the organization’s pursuit, this is your long-awaited reunion!"
"And Xu, you need to act manly, like an old married couple, where a short separation feels like a honeymoon. You pounce on her, tear off her clothes, and then…"
Maca Maca.
Baka Baka.
Xu Mo stood there like a dumbfounded goose.
After all that,
he understood one thing.
Before, it was a small green.
Now, it was a big green.
If you want life to go on,
you’ve got to wear a bit of green on your head.
Xu Mo had truly become the clown.
The script Lin An'an was filming now
was different from the one in his past life!
No wonder Xu Mo had felt something was off.
He hadn’t stayed for no reason.
The movie would eventually be released, right?
Xu Mo thought he could add fuel to the fire,
making the protagonist’s head even greener.
All of this was to motivate the Dragon King!
The script was starting to get a bit risqué.
So, he’d have to adjust his strategy too.
By the way,
this movie was a bit unconventional to begin with.
Song Yixue went over the details with Xu Mo a few more times
and had him review the script.
This scene was more challenging than the previous ones,
so Xu Mo was given ample time to prepare.
Cameras were set up around the room.
The crew, lighting, and everything else were in place.
Lin An'an had changed into a white loungewear outfit,
her snow-white legs exposed.
Her hair was loosely tied into a messy ponytail.
Besides her,
there was a girl who looked about 70-80% like her.
They were dressed identically.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out
this was her body double.
It wasn’t hard to understand.
Whenever there were scenes like this,
Lin An'an always used a double.
Liu Yong picked up his megaphone.
"Xu, this scene is divided into two parts. We’ll edit them together later.
Let’s start with the first part!"
The chubby director was unusually excited!
Not just him.
Assistant Director Song Yixue’s eyes were wide open, her breathing noticeably heavier.
Wow!
A once-in-a-century scene!!!
It’s not that this kind of scene hadn’t been done in other movies,
but it depended on who was acting in it.
Xu Mo, who was ten thousand times more handsome than your average pretty boy,
was exactly her type.
The female crew members felt the same way.

ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
