My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 203: Chapter 157: Luo Feifei Goes All Out

The vast, bottomless lake shimmered with golden light under the sun.

Across the lake was the cascading Flying Spring Waterfall. Luo Feifei stood gracefully on the prow of a boat, clad in a white, light-gauze period costume, looking as ethereal as an immortal.

A smile touched her lips, and she was delighted. ’I can’t believe Brother Xiang and the others came to ride my coattails. Haha, since you want a free ride, Brother Xiang, your Little Aunt will give you a huge one. Little Aunt dotes on you!’

’That Yao Yao was obviously filming me just now. You’re definitely going to post it online, right? When you do, I’ll use my main account to reply and interact with you all. Hehe, I’ll blow your minds!’

Luo Feifei figured that if she interacted with Li Xiang using her main account, she would definitely gain him a lot of followers. Finally, a chance to show off her main account! It felt so much more satisfying than using her alt.

Of course, she would keep using her alt. The ”Little Aunt” persona was pretty good, after all.

With the crew’s help, Luo Feifei slowly ascended on her wires. In the distance, the crowd by the lake erupted in screams. It was so awesome, so cool!

Lei Xiaohui thought, ’If I had the chance to get up there on the wires and do a fight scene, how amazing would that be?’

’Sigh. The comparison is killing me.’

A fan shouted, ”Luo Feifei is so amazing! She’s actually doing her own stunts without a double. That alone makes her more professional than so many of those pretty-boy actors! We’ll always support you! Love you, Feifei!”

At that moment, a crew member with a bullhorn started shouting, ”Could everyone please be quiet? We’re about to start filming. Please just watch and record quietly. Thank you.”

Every time they filmed, many onlookers would shoot footage from the sidelines. The crew didn’t object, because it all helped generate hype for the new movie—the kind of hype that didn’t cost them a thing.

Luo Feifei reached the high peak, landing on a large rock beside the waterfall. The director’s voice came through her hidden earpiece: ”Feifei, are you ready? If you’re not feeling up to it, we can bring in the stunt double.”

In truth, even the stunt double was reluctant, as the stunt was too dangerous. Though there were wires and a pulley system, accidents were not unheard of; they were frequently reported in the news.

”I’m ready! We can start!”

Luo Feifei glanced from afar toward Li Xiang, who was in the crowd by the lake. Even with the massive, dense throng of rubberneckers, the Little Celestial Immortal still managed to pinpoint his figure with perfect accuracy.

’This is my fated opportunity, the one that can help me defy my destiny. But if we aren’t close enough, why would he help me?’

Defying destiny would surely come at a great cost.

Luo Feifei looked at the high pulley system and the lake below, and a plan suddenly formed in her mind. ’Time to go for broke and do something big!’

’The best hunters often disguise themselves as prey. Xiang’Er, your Little Aunt is creating a huge opportunity for you. Whether or not you can seize it all depends on your performance now!’

Luo Feifei’s adrenaline surged, her heart pounding at her own audacious idea. It was incredibly risky, but worth a try. Besides, she considered herself an excellent swimmer; even if Li Xiang didn’t save her, she was confident she’d survive.

”3, 2, 1, Action!”

The director gave the order with a wave of his hand, and the entire crew sprang into motion. High in the air, ethereal as an immortal, Luo Feifei leaped down, wielding a Treasure Sword that shimmered like clear water.

The Treasure Sword was, of course, a prop. It was made of wood and coated with a special paint that made it glint with a cold light, as if it were incomparably sharp.

Not far ahead, about twenty meters above the lake, the actor playing the Fox Demon, also suspended by wires, saw her and immediately ”fled” through the air.

Behind him, Luo Feifei was incredibly fast. Like a Celestial Flying Immortal, she pursued him at extreme speed, and in an instant, the two were locked in combat.

They descended to an altitude of about ten meters. At this point in the script, the Fox Demon unleashed a special attack. Three fluffy Fox Tails trembled violently, shooting out hundreds of hairs that transformed into hundreds of Demon Blades blazing with blue flames. As the blades swarmed toward Luo Feifei, the Fox Demon seized the opportunity, while she was busy fending them off, to quickly make its escape.

Of course, this overwhelming swarm of Demon Blades would be added in post-production with CGI, but Luo Feifei had to act as if they were real, which was a great test of her acting ability.

She controlled her wires, performing all sorts of complex movements: mid-air tumbles, twists, flying maneuvers, and blocks.

It had to be said that she was exceptionally talented. Thanks to her profound dance foundation, the resulting performance was no less impressive than that of a veteran stunt double.

Furthermore, she had great stamina. Her flexibility and coordination were beyond what an ordinary person could achieve. Just try doing a flip and you’ll see.

’Now’s the time.’ In her snow-white robes, Luo Feifei was the picture of an otherworldly immortal. As her robes fluttered, she executed a mid-air flip, turning her back to the camera as her hand shot toward the clasps on her harness.

This type of wire harness typically had three clasps connecting it to the steel cables. But that Luo Feifei was quick. In the middle of a spin, she coordinated the unlatching with her fight choreography, swiping her hand across the clasps. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. In the blink of an eye, she had skillfully undone them.

She was the same way when taking off her bra. Despite being well-endowed and the bra fitting snugly, she could always unhook it with a single, light flick of her hand behind her back, effortlessly ”shedding her armor.”

She was flipping high in the air, performing a series of flashy, cool moves, her white dress dancing wildly around her. Everyone else was too far away to notice her subtle action. Even Li Xiang missed it due to his angle.

”Ahhh~” Luo Feifei let out a small cry, her beautiful face ”drained of color in terror” as she began to plummet.

At this moment, she was a good ten meters above the surface of the lake.

It was equivalent to a ten-meter high dive!

In the distance, by the lake, the director and the rest of the crew were completely stunned.

Luo Feifei’s mother was also on set. As her daughter’s manager and personal assistant, she naturally attended every one of her daughter’s scenes. Her face went deathly pale, and without a moment’s hesitation, she jumped into the water and swam frantically toward her daughter.

The crowd went into an uproar!

The director, who had been sitting in his chair, shot to his feet and bellowed, ”Quickly, get in the water! Save her!”

Many crew members dove in. At the same time, some of the onlooking ”rubberneckers” who were good swimmers also jumped into the water to save Luo Feifei. Some were secretly thinking what a perfect opportunity this was to get close to their goddess.

It was a chaotic free-for-all, a mad scramble across the water. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought a wild swimming competition was underway.

But soon, the would-be rescuers were left stunned. A figure, who had jumped in the river after they did, shot forward like a swordfish, like a speedboat cutting through the waves. Kicking up a long trail of spray, with a SWOOSH, he left them far behind in the blink of an eye, speeding toward the spot where Luo Feifei had hit the water.

It was, of course, Li Xiang who had sprung into action.

Seeing Luo Feifei fall from such a height, Li Xiang was startled. ’Those are the long legs I’ve been dreaming of... attached to a peerless genius! How could I possibly let anything happen to her?’

His feet kicked at an incredible frequency, churning like a propeller, but he couldn’t see Luo Feifei.

After hitting the water, Luo Feifei had sunk like a stone and hadn’t surfaced at all.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and plunged beneath the surface.

Sure enough, a beautiful silhouette was faintly visible in the water, her white dress drifting. He quickly swam closer, pulled Luo Feifei into his arms, and then pushed off with his feet, heading for the surface.

’Don’t be afraid, future Female War God, Female General, Guardian of the base. I’m here to save you. I’ve been coveting your... incredible Cultivation Talent for a long time.’

At this moment, Luo Feifei’s eyes were shut tight. She appeared to be unconscious, but inwardly, she was thrilled. ’To dart over here that fast, like a little grebe, it has to be Li Xiang. No doubt about it.’

She had peeked while underwater and seen a man with an incredible physique speeding toward her through the shimmering light on the surface. She knew it had to be Li Xiang. No one else possessed such skill.

Sure enough, after they surfaced, she choked up a few mouthfuls of water, spraying it all over Li Xiang’s face. When she focused her eyes, she saw it was indeed the ”fated opportunity” she had been longing for, holding her in his arms.

Most people perform a rescue from behind, but Brother Xiang, ever the bold master, had come at her from the front. When he surfaced, he had Luo Feifei slung over his shoulder.

Luo Feifei hadn’t sprayed the water on purpose. To make her act more convincing, she had actually swallowed several mouthfuls underwater and nearly choked. Luckily the lake water was fairly clear, otherwise it would have been disgusting.

Now, she was soaked to the skin, pressed closely against Li Xiang.
