Chapter 71 - Inhuman Suffering
“Here is something even more impressive.”
Ye Lingchen roared in laughter. At that moment, a fly was buzzing around in their vicinity.
“Catch it!”
“Awoo!”
Little Green and Little Gray howled, and at the same time curled up their bodies then pounced upwards towards the fly.
However, the fly was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it got away. The two wolf pups bumped their heads against each other clumsily, and they rolled as they hit the ground…
“That is just too cute!” Xiao Feifei instantly fell in love with the two pups, her heart was just about melting from the cuteness. “I want to take them and have them all to myself.”
She was only saying it for the sake of it. She knew very well that only Ye Lingchen could train these wolf pups, no ordinary person would be able to tame them when they matured.
Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, seeing Xiao Feifei’s joyful attitude. He said, “If you’d like, just let me know anytime, and I’ll bring them over.”
“That would be great! You have to take good care of them.” Xiao Feifei replied with a smile as she looked at Ye Lingchen. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons and stunning beyond compare. Ye Lingchen had to slow down his breathing to calm his palpitating heart.
“Oh, yeah. My neck has been sore again recently, come over here and give me a massage,” said Xiao Feifei, frowning as she rubbed her neck.
As she finished, she even moved that delicate body of hers.
“Okay, no problem.” Ye Lingchen nodded, his breathing stabilizing somewhat as he admired Xiao Feifei’s physique.
“Sister Lin would like a massage from you as well.” Xiao Feifei continued.
Ye Lingchen glanced at Sister Lin, who was blushing in silence.
“Why don’t I give it to you both at the same time?”
“You can do that?”
“Sure.”
“That’s fine, your massages feel good.” There was a hint of excitement on Xiao Feifei’s face.
“One thing though. The both of you must control yourselves during the massage, and do your best not to make a sound.” Ye Lingchen said as he steeled himself for what was to come.
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
…
The massage was given…
…
An hour later, Ye Lingchen sighed heavily, his face pale as a sheet.
Did they not say that they wouldn’t make a sound? Liars!
Xiao Feifei and Sister Lin were blurry-eyed sleeping beauties, as they lay down half-asleep.
Ye Lingchen had broken out into a sweat, and his clothes and body were drenched in a sheen of it, as though he had gone through some inhumane torture.
It was not easy to get through those circumstances!
He was worried, was he harming his body by going down this path. He was literally burning his life to save others.
“Eh? Lingchen, what’s wrong with you? You’re blushing, it’s pretty cute.” Xiao Feifei remarked with a smile as she turned to look at Ye Lingchen.
Cute?
A flash of darkness passed over Ye Lingchen’s face.
It was no mean feat for him to come around from the heavy atmosphere. Ye Lingchen sighed deeply, finally quelling the fire in him.
He looked at Xiao Feifei and Sister Lin who had just straightened their hair and redone their makeup. Ye Lingchen admired his determination, only LiuXia Hui would be able to pull this off. No, Ye Lingchen thought he was better than LiuXia Hui since he had to face down two trials at the same time!
“Lingchen, your fame is almost too explosive. Your popularity is already past that of a B-list star, you’re rising to become an A-lister now.” Xiao Feifei said in surprise. “Several arts events want me to invite you to attend, but I’d advise you to wear a mask if you intend to do so, to maintain a sense of mystery.”
Ye Lingchen nodded, “These events don’t count for much, and I do not have any plans to reveal my face.”
“Oh yeah, you should get a Weibo account with the username ‘Y’ as soon as possible, recently accounts with that name have been popping up in number, and you have to be ahead of the competition.” Xiao Feifei suggested, not knowing that those accounts were Ye Lingchen himself.
“Sounds good!” Ye Lingchen replied as he thought it through, if he wanted to increase his popularity, he would need to register for a Weibo account.
Therefore, he registered a new Weibo account, which came with an identity verified tag as well. This was due to Xiao Feifei’s recommendation that he register himself as an actor.
[Now that Y-God has a Weibo, the question is, is this the Movie God Y, Livestream Y, or Superman Y?]
[Hahaha, he finally has a Weibo, I can finally confess to my God!]
[It doesn’t matter which Y he is, I love them all!]
[Great videos, meet friends online, door-to-door service, check my profile…]
…
He had just registered, and the comments were flying in. The direct messages were now past the 50s, and the fans of the other 3 Y accounts were all absorbed into this one.
[Everyone’s lost their focus, didn’t you see that Xiao Feifei hit the like button? This is definitely the Movie God Y.]
[Wow! A martial arts expert, can you show your face?’]
[As good as his martial prowess is, can he beat the superman?]
[I think Movie God Y and superman Y could be the same person.]
[Wait, how could Xiao Feifei hit the like button at the first moment, the implications are too horrible to contemplate!]
…
Ye Lingchen had not posted any status updates, but the engagement numbers just kept on rising.
At the same time, Li Tai waded into the frenzy and commented. [Y’s acting skills speak for themselves, and his martial arts are the real deal. Honestly, I’ve been shooting Wu Xia dramas for so long, and have not seen much real Kung Fu. Y’s Kung Fu left me in awe, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.]
Ye Lingchen immediately replied with humility, [Director Li, you flatter me. I look forward to working with you again as well.]
Xiao Feifei joined in as well and commented, [Y’s acting skills stole the spotlight from my role. He’s a natural actor, even I’m worried that I’ll be overshadowed by him the next time we work together (pity).]
[Will Y shoot another drama? I’m looking forward to it…]
[Goddess, don’t worry when you’re on the same stage as Y you don’t need to worry about your acting, because… you were never going to be noticed anyway.]
With two big players wading in, Ye Lingchen’s Weibo instantly grew even more lively.
In the next moment, Ye Lingchen’s Weibo was tagged.
The content linked was posted by someone named “Shi Lei”.
[A minnow gets a bit of fame, the higher they climb, the harder they fall! It’s just too fake! Be careful you don’t die from the heights you’ve fallen from!]
The post did not explicitly name names, but it was clear to everyone that the target of the insult was Y. Because Shi Lei had posted at the same time when Y had registered his Weibo account. The pointedness was very obvious, his Weibo verification was that of a martial arts star.
Xiao Feifei frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on her face, “Are you going to respond?”
“It’s fine.” Ye Lingchen waved his hand, he was not so bored as to have a verbal feud with someone.
“Shi Lei is one of the actors who has been around for some time, he’s hugely popular, and he also used his martial arts to establish his brand. He’s got quite the ego and regularly tells other people that he’s a Shaolin disciple, and practices real Kung Fu.” Xiao Feifei continued.
Ye Lingchen nodded, if he were a Kung Fu star then this was no coincidence. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers, this Shi Lei must feel threatened by Y’s popularity, and therefore had a bone to pick.
Originally, Ye Lingchen only intended to shrug things off with a smile, but Shi Lei followed up with a second video post, and the subject was the video of Y fighting with the wolf.
“This video, at one glance you can tell it’s special effects! What real Kung Fu, bullsh*t! It’s a marketing stunt to gain publicity!”
