My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 202: Chapter 156: A Killer Glance for Eternity and Chasing Clout

Bor People Mountain, a place of scenic beauty, was located about twenty to thirty kilometers from Li Xiang’s hometown. A long time ago, a mysterious ethnic minority known as the Bor People lived on the fertile plains at the foot of these mountains. Later, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Bo People were wiped out by the Official Army, and the remnants of their tribe fled into these great mountains, which is how the range got its name: Bor People Mountain.

The Bor People Mountain scenic area, usually quiet with few tourists, was a sea of people today. Tickets were selling like hotcakes because Luo Feifei was here!

The film crew for *Celestial Flying Immortal* was here to shoot a fight scene on location.

According to rumors, Luo Feifei was going to leap from the top of the thirty-meter-high Flying Spring Waterfall, engage in a fierce battle with a Fox Demon over the vast Bright Mirror Lake, and ultimately slay it.

The shoot hadn’t started yet, but the high-altitude ziplines were already set up, and the camera operators and other crew were in position.

One side of the lake was empty, as it was going to be in the shot. The other side, however, was packed with onlookers.

The chance to get a close-up look at the Little Celestial Immortal’s legendary beauty naturally drew countless people. Some were local residents, like Li Xiang, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui.

Others had rushed over from out of town, including many who had traveled great distances just to see their idol.

There were also many influencers who had come to livestream and cash in on the hype.

”Where is Luo Feifei? I don’t see her!” someone nearby muttered, their eyes scanning the area.

Their companion pointed to a distant tent and said, ”She’s probably in there getting her makeup done. I heard the crew set up those tents.”

”I’m so excited! I really want to see how beautiful Luo Feifei is in person!”

”Haven’t you seen her on TV?”

”You don’t get it. A lot of people say she isn’t photogenic.”

”What do you mean?”

”It means that on TV and in movies, she’s not as beautiful as she is in real life!”

”My God, she’s already gorgeous on TV. You’re saying that’s not beautiful enough?”

”Anyway, everyone who’s seen her up close says her beauty is otherworldly. They say she’s like a true fairy descended to the mortal realm, a goddess among humans. That’s how she got the nickname ’Little Celestial Immortal’.”

”That’s an exaggeration. I don’t believe it.”

Yao Yao sidled up to Li Xiang and whispered, ”Brother Xiang, do you think your heart will skip a beat when you see Luo Feifei? They say she’s a one-of-a-kind beauty, the kind that literally glows—just like you.”

Li Xiang replied, ”I know who she is, but she doesn’t know me. What’s the point of my heart skipping a beat?” After all, Luo Feifei had over a hundred million fans, while Li Xiang only had a little over three million. They weren’t even in the same league.

Just look at the situation now: absolutely no one recognized Li Xiang. Everyone’s attention was glued in Luo Feifei’s direction.

”That’s true, hehe.” Yao Yao instantly relaxed. ’Luo Feifei is too far out of reach,’ she thought. ’What’s the use if you can’t have her? I’m different. I have the home-field advantage, ripe for the picking.’

”Look, Luo Feifei’s coming out! She’s really glowing!” someone shouted at that moment.

All eyes turned in that direction.

Li Xiang couldn’t see her; she seemed to be on the other side of the tent.

Then, a continuous stream of shrieks erupted from the distance, things like ”Feifei, I love you~!”, ”Goddess among humans!”, and ”She’s glowing!” He couldn’t help but wonder suspiciously, ’Is she an Extraordinary Being already? That’s impossible, isn’t it? There aren’t any Extraordinary Particles in the world right now, and she doesn’t have any Spiritual Medicine. She probably doesn’t even know any Breathing Techniques!’

Just then, Luo Feifei, dressed in ancient costume and looking like a celestial fairy, boarded a boat docked by the lake. A group of staff members followed her on. They were going to take the small boat to the other side of the lake, where Luo Feifei would be hoisted up to the top of the waterfall by a wire harness for her flying descent.

Originally, the director had wanted to use a stunt double for Luo Feifei. Thirty-plus meters might not sound that high, but if you calculate it at three meters per story, that’s over ten stories tall.

It was equivalent to leaping from the top of a building more than ten stories high. Even with a zipline and a lake below, not just anyone would have the courage, let alone having to fight someone above the lake’s surface.

This was a real on-location shoot, not something composited against a green screen in a studio. The reason every one of Luo Feifei’s movies was a box office smash wasn’t just because she was the queen of popularity; it was also, and more impressively, because she almost never used a stunt double.

And this young woman was only fifteen years old!

”Brother, pick me up! Lift me over your head! I need to shoot a video and ride her coattails!” Yao Yao’s workaholic mode kicked in again. So many people were livestreaming and filming; if everyone else could cash in on the hype, why shouldn’t they?

Yao Yao was actually on the shorter side, not quite 1.6 meters tall, and her view was blocked by the people in front of her. She was getting frantic.

Li Xiang said, ”I’m already filming.”

”Your filming sucks. Watch and learn from me!”

”Fine, you do it!” Just as Li Xiang was about to lift Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing nudged Lei Xiaohui. Lei Xiaohui immediately jumped in, saying, ”I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

She happened to be standing right behind Yao Yao, so it was easier for her to act than Li Xiang. With a swift motion, she wrapped her hands around Yao Yao’s slender waist, lifted her up, and set her on her shoulders.

’I wanted to sit on Brother Xiang’s shoulders, what are you being so enthusiastic for?’ Yao Yao was speechless. But she was already up high with a great view, and people behind her were yelling for her to get down and stop blocking their line of sight.

Yao Yao couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. She seized the moment and got to work.

She tapped her phone into video mode. Holding it in one hand and waving the other, she started screaming at the top of her lungs, ”Luo Feifei~! Luo Feifei~!” ”WHOOO~, look over here, beautiful! Feifei, I love you!”

Her wild energy was just too intense. Her voice was loud and her cries were full of passion, and Luo Feifei heard her.

Luo Feifei turned toward the sound and immediately spotted Yao Yao, held high by the 1.8-meter-tall Lei Xiaohui, standing out like a crane among a flock of chickens.

Of course, she recognized Yao Yao—one of the three artists signed under Li Xiang.

Sure enough, her gaze shifted slightly, and she saw Lei Xiaohui beneath Yao Yao, as well as Zhao Xueqing and Li Xiang standing beside them.

’I never thought you guys would be my fans!’ Luo Feifei was delighted. She had been wondering what excuse she could use to go see Brother Xiang, and now here he was, coming to chase after her.

Well, chasing after her like a fan, that is.

Being chased by the ”fated opportunity” she had been longing to get closer to... the feeling was indescribably wonderful.

A wave of joy washed over Luo Feifei. Unable to resist, she gave a small smile in Li Xiang’s direction, raised her slender hand, and waved a gentle greeting.

The crowd erupted, everyone thinking Luo Feifei was smiling and waving at them!

Or that she was waving to the entire crowd.

A single glance back, a smile that launched a thousand ships. One look, an eternity.

Many people started screaming, absolutely thrilled.

Yao Yao screamed even louder, swaying her body in a super wild way. ”AHHHH~! She smiled at me! She smiled at me! I was the one who made her look back, and she waved at me! I’m so excited! So beautiful! Fam, who knows what it’s like to be so stunned by beauty your hands are shaking?” She had been filming Luo Feifei with her phone, but now she was genuinely trembling with excitement, making the camera shake wildly.

Li Xiang was speechless. He couldn’t help but say, ”Why are you shaking? You’re a girl getting this excited over another girl. Even I, a guy, am not this worked up.”

”You don’t get it! She’s so beautiful my hands are shaking!”

Down below, Lei Xiaohui said, ”I’m shaking too. She’s just so beautiful. If only I were that pretty! That aura... tsk tsk...”

Zhao Xueqing blinked, filled with envy. ’That killer glance that stops you in your tracks... it really is powerful!’ she thought. ’If I were that beautiful, I bet I could win Brother Xiang over in minutes!’

All around them, various comments could be heard.

Someone exclaimed in amazement, ”So the rumors are true! She’s really ten thousand times more beautiful in person than on TV or in videos!”

”The moment she looked back, my heart skipped a beat! Even though she wasn’t looking at me!”

”Good thing I’m a girl. If I were a guy, I think I’d be completely enchanted. I wouldn’t want to live if I couldn’t have her!”

”Even as a girl, I want to pin her against the wall!”

By this time, Lei Xiaohui had already put Yao Yao down.

Yao Yao was still buzzing with excitement, her face flushed. She showed the video she’d just taken to everyone. ”Look, I got a great shot! Brother, I put on such a great performance for the video effect, you have to give me a bonus!”

Li Xiang watched the final clip. He had to admit, Yao Yao had done a good job. Toward the end, the camera was shaking, accompanied by her incessant screaming and wild cries, perfectly capturing the frenzied excitement. He gave her a thumbs-up in praise and said, ”I’ll send you a big red envelope later. Hmm, Xiaohui worked hard lifting you, so she gets a big red envelope too.”

Lei Xiaohui’s face lit up, and she said with a wide grin, ”Thanks, Brother!”

She really had worked hard, though. It wasn’t that Yao Yao was heavy, but she had been constantly twisting her waist, shaking her hips, waving her arms, and screaming. Lei Xiaohui could barely hold on to her; she was like a little maniac.

Zhao Xueqing: ”...” ’So I’m the only one who doesn’t get a red envelope.’ But she had to hand it to Yao Yao. If it had been her, she couldn’t have screamed that loudly. And even if she could, she wouldn’t have been as uninhibited and natural, so she probably wouldn’t have been able to attract Luo Feifei’s attention for that backward glance and smile.

Although the three girls liked Luo Feifei and thought she was beautiful, their exaggerated performance just now was mainly for the sake of the video and to create a dramatic effect. After all, their orientations were normal; there was no way they’d get as worked up as some old lechers.

”Brother Xiang, are you really not moved at all? She’s... she’s like she’s from a different dimension than us,” Yao Yao couldn’t help but ask again, because Li Xiang constantly wore a placid expression.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui also looked over, eager to know what Li Xiang was really thinking.

Although Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing usually considered themselves top-tier beauties, with looks scoring at least a 95, Luo Feifei... her looks were at least a 120. No, a 150. It was a complete dimensional takedown!

Just now, when Luo Feifei stood at the bow of the boat and glanced back, the sunlight fell on her, making her skin look fair and supple, glowing brilliantly. It was the delicate, milky-white of jade, not the pale white of people from Europe and America.

You could say she was the ceiling for mortals. No wonder they called her the Little Celestial Immortal. Dressed in a beautiful ancient costume, she looked ethereal, like a fairy descended to the mortal world.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment. Luo Feifei’s beauty was probably on par with the current Jiang Cai’Er, but Jiang Cai’Er lacked that superstar aura.

Jiang Cai’Er had spent years in a sheltered high school environment. Although she was two years older, she was still a naive and unseasoned student who didn’t know how to dress up.

Relatively speaking, her lack of styling couldn’t compare to a star like Luo Feifei, who had a professional hair and makeup team. Especially now, while filming, her hairstyle, clothes, and accessories were all meticulously designed, creating a stunning impression.

In fact, Luo Feifei’s true advantage lay in her experience and aura.

Although this girl was only fifteen, she was already a top actress. Over half a year ago, she had also experienced a strange Dream Realm, obtained the Divination Technique, met many influential figures, and even played the part of a transcendent master in real life. She and Jiang Cai’Er were naturally not in the same category.

This was a girl even younger and more delicate-looking than Jiang Cai’Er, with the face of a loli, but the aura of a cool older sister, an empress, or a transcendent master. This contrast was soul-snatching and irresistibly tempting.

The Luo Feifei of this life, possessing partial dream fragments from her past life, was different from her past self.
