I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Om-"

The ultimate rhythm of machinery is unmatched by electric motors.

Even the three women chatting in the white villa could vaguely hear the blood-pumping roar, but they didn't pay any attention to it.

Who cares about passersby?

"Sister Yang Ni, is it really that scary?"

On the sofa, Luo Li'er sat cross-legged, clutching her feet, completely unconcerned about her image as a beautiful woman.

In front of these two, she didn't need to maintain her image.
"There's no smoke without fire. All the criticism of this industry from the outside world isn't fabricated."

Yang Ni smiled wryly, holding the warm water cup, "So your sister's journey has really been tough."

"I know. It's all thanks to you, Sister Yang Ni, for taking care of me."

"That's the truth."

I'm quite familiar with the two sisters, so there's no need for formalities. Everyone says there are no true friends in this circle, only interests, but why does she occasionally come over for a visit?
"If I had other ways to make a living, I would really like to leave this industry."

Yang Ni lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea.

"Sister Yang Ni, you've already made it through, why would you want to back down? You've already overcome eighty-one tribulations and obtained the true essence."

Luo Li'er, whose mood had been fluctuating recently, said humorously, making it impossible for anyone to tell what was going on, not even Yang Ni, a professional actress.

"Have I obtained the true scriptures?"

Yang Ni smiled, then shook her head in self-consciousness, saying, "You think too highly of me. I haven't even left Chang'an, let alone reached the Western Paradise."

"That's an exaggeration."

Luo Li'er wrinkled her nose. "If even Sister Yang Ni hasn't left Chang'an City, then what are the others?"

"It still has to be your sister."

Yang Ni looked at Pei Yunxi and said with emotion, "She is the one who has truly achieved perfect merit."

In the past, Luo Li'er probably wouldn't have understood these words, but now, she instantly grasped their meaning.

Given the relationship between her sister and Yang Ni's sister.

There's also Yang Ni's ability to break through and stand out in the treacherous and cruel entertainment industry.

She already knew everything.

There's no way Yang Ni wouldn't know.

and so.

They're all treating her like a child.

"Obtaining the true scriptures is only one way to succeed. In fact, you don't need to go to the Western Paradise. Just eat Tang Sanzang's flesh and you can avoid demons and monsters and ascend to heaven on the spot."

Luo Li'er muttered.

Yang Ni was stunned, then looked over with surprise and doubt.

She was just speaking from the heart, without revealing any information, but this girl's remark is quite intriguing.

She naturally knew about Yunxi's love life, having witnessed it firsthand in Hong Kong long ago.

And how you feel about it.

Li'er found out too?
Yang Ni didn't dare to say anything, and tentatively looked at Pei Yunxi.

The other party remained calm and composed, seemingly unperturbed.

Luo Li'er pretended not to notice the other person's little actions, "Sister Yang Ni, tell me about it."

"say what?"

Yang Ni subconsciously looked away and turned to look at Luo Li'er again, her expression slightly unnatural.

No matter what circle you're in, you must understand one principle: loose lips sink ships.

She understands this very well.

Many artists have inexplicably offended powerful figures because of a casual or unintentional remark, ruining their careers and even leading to their utter destruction.

She feels the same way now.

Yunxi didn't give her any hints, so she dared not speak carelessly again.

"Tell me the secrets of your entertainment industry, my sister never tells me."

Luo Li'er, supporting herself on her coiled thighs, was full of interest in her dark eyes as she put on a great performance in front of two top-tier actors, especially Yang Ni.

What aspect would you like to hear about?

"Anything is fine. — Like, a green glove?"

Yang Ni, who had just started to think, was interrupted and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Isn't your sister supposed to avoid talking to you about these things?"

"It wasn't my sister who said that."

Luo Li'er said in a relaxed tone, "There are no secrets in the world. Although there are many secrets in the entertainment industry, it's not like no one knows them at all."

"You already know, why are you asking?"

"I've only heard it secondhand. Sister Yang Ni, can you tell me the details? Is it really possible for someone to be a cuckold?"

Yang Ni took a sip of hot tea. "Why wouldn't you want to? Everyone in this industry is in it for the money. It's just acting, getting a marriage certificate, and playing the role of a model couple in front of the public. There's absolutely no skill involved, no challenge whatsoever. But the rewards for acting in such a play are incredibly rich. You'll gain unimaginable resources, your career will soar to new heights. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"But men aren't the ones who can't stand it the most..."

Yang Ni laughed and advised, "Your thinking is wrong. You need to change your perspective. That's not your wife at all; she's someone else's woman, just there to act with you. Do male actors on TV really treat their co-stars as their own wives and children?"

Luo Li'er nodded, "That's true."

"That's why people always say that life is like a play, and a play is like life. These eight words can perfectly explain our industry. After the play is over, the actress and her child get a legitimate status and successfully clear their name, the actor gets resources and his career takes off, and the director behind the scenes never shows up and remains unknown. It's a win-win situation, so why not?"

Luo Li'er clicked her tongue and grabbed her feet, which were covered in cotton socks. "Sister Yang Ni, which ones are green gloves? Tell us!"

Yang Ni didn't answer. "Guess for yourself."

"Is that the director? He wasn't very famous before, but after he got married, his career skyrocketed. His movies were all box office hits. Later, he had a child and got divorced."

"What does this have to do with you?"

Yang Ni, who was about to speak, shut her mouth.

Despite her seemingly aloof and detached demeanor, Pei is actually quite worldly-wise and spoke up in time to prevent Yang Ni from being put in a difficult position.

"I won't tell anyone."

Luo Li'er muttered softly, knowing that her question had gone too far.

She's not afraid, but that doesn't mean Yang Ni can gossip.

Although Yang Ni has almost reached the top of the acting industry, the guys who can find green gloves are no ordinary people; they are all celestial beings who dare not raise their voices to disturb them.

"Okay, Sister Yang Ni, don't talk, just blink. If yes, blink once. If no, blink twice."

Yang Ni remained silent as expected.

Luo Li'er stared into her eyes.

Oops.

I didn't see it very clearly.

How many times did it blink?

If she didn't see it clearly, it was her own problem. Luo Li'er stopped arguing and sighed softly, "No wonder people in the entertainment industry are always getting married and divorced. The real filming studio is actually in reality, and the fans are so naive and silly that they take it all seriously."

"I'm not like that."

Yang Ni, who is married, divorced, and has children, quickly issued a statement.

“I know.” Luo Li’er grabbed her toes and said lazily, “Green gloves usually open up their meridians after marriage and become famous in the martial arts world, but Yang Ni’s ex-husband did not, and he is still lukewarm. Besides, there is no such thing as a green glove fighting for custody.”

Yang Ni was stunned, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This girl is indeed incredibly intelligent; she can apply what she's learned to other situations.

"Do you have any manners?"

Pei Yunxi spoke up.

Although I gradually loosened my control over my younger sister after she graduated, I still had to educate her when necessary.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yang Ni."

Luo Li'er immediately apologized.

"It's okay."

Yang Ni smiled dismissively and affirmed, "Your analysis is quite correct and very logical."

Following this line of thought, without Yang Ni having to ask, Luo Li'er could expose quite a few cuckolds who were deceiving the public, but she wasn't particularly interested in such matters.

My cousin's criticism is correct.

What does it matter to her whether the gloves are green or not?

"Sister Yang Ni, what about anything else?" "What else?"

"It has nothing to do with romantic love. Such a big entertainment industry shouldn't be all about sex and romance."

Yang Ni was both amused and exasperated, but she couldn't say anything.

This girl is not young anymore; we can't treat her like a child. Even the older sister didn't say anything.

"You mean something more 'grotesque'?"

Luo Li'er nodded quickly.

Yang Ni pondered for a moment, held her water glass, and finally spoke up: "Some singers use their concerts as an excuse to set up altars backstage."

"Altar?"

Luo Li'er was surprised.

This is certainly bizarre enough.

"Yes. The fans at the scene are the sacrifices."

"Is he crazy?" Luo Li'er couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

"Some things exist if you believe in them, and don't if you don't. Why do those high-ranking officials and nobles believe in feng shui so much? Are they crazy?"

Yang Ni looked at Luo Li'er and said gently in a kind and caring tone, "The world is full of wonders. Try to avoid crowded places."

Luo Li'er opened her mouth. She wasn't unaware of the dangers of society, but the secret she had just heard was still beyond her worldview.

If it's true, then the entertainment industry is even more "exciting" than she imagined.

"Of course. Those performers are just puppets, or rather, marionettes; they are merely mediums used to attract sacrifices."

If Yang Ni hadn't said those words, she would be a complete fraudster.

But Yang Ni doesn't lie, nor does she need to.

"Sister Yang Ni, what are you thinking when you say that..."

"Like telling a story, isn't it?"

Yang Ni laughed and said, "You can take it as me talking nonsense."

"Do not."

Luo Li'er shook her head, "I know there's more to this world than just science. I know Taoist priests, they're incredibly powerful, and the existence of such people defies common sense."

Which Taoist priest?

Pei Yunxi asked.

“Duanmu Liuli.”

Luo Li'er tilted her head, and without thinking, she gradually began to understand why someone would bring a Taoist nun with them.

It's more than just a vase.

More than just bodyguards.

"Yes. Actually, it's the same both domestically and internationally. People abroad believe in religion, and there are some things that can't be explained by science. Let me tell you another one."

Yang Ni started the conversation, and Luo Li'er immediately nodded, looking on with anticipation.

"There was a female celebrity whose destiny was that of a lucky charm, meaning she would bring good luck to her owner. So she caught the eye of a powerful figure, and through the machinations of a fortune teller, she was turned into a human-shaped Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring good fortune), with her luck continuously flowing into his body..."

Luo Li'er opened her eyes wide.

She wanted to hear something unusual, but these things completely exceeded her expectations.

A human-shaped Pixiu?

...She used to think that she was at most a female slave.

"Is it that scary?"

She muttered to herself, amusing Yang Ni, "What the public knows is just the tip of the iceberg. Only when you enter this circle do you realize how dark and deep it is. But by then, you've already fallen in and can't swim out."

"of course."

Yang Ni looked at Pei Yunxi and added, "Your sister is an exception."

Luo Li'er remained silent; the information transmission overload caused her "receiver" to malfunction.

Yang Ni knew that the information she had leaked was too explosive, even sounding almost like "demonic talk," and beyond the acceptable range for normal people, so Luo Li'er's reaction was not surprising at all.

What puzzled her was Yunxi's reaction.

Yunxi was unusually quiet today. Even though she could have stopped Yunxi from "sharing," she remained silent, letting Yunxi reveal the horrifying truth beneath the surface.

What is the intention?

Yang Ni didn't know, but didn't want to think about it.

Let it be revealed. She needs to vent the pressure she's been carrying.

"So, in this circle, if someone is attracted to your beauty, you should feel lucky."

"Then why are so many people desperately trying to squeeze in?"

Luo Li'er murmured.

"First, these people don't know. Second, there are both endless dangers and endless opportunities here."

Yang Ni suddenly stopped and stared silently at Luo Li'er.

Luo Li'er's large eyes flickered with a question mark.

"If you had the chance to reverse aging or even achieve immortality, would you go to any lengths to try and win it?"

Rejuvenation.

Immortality?!

The human-shaped Pixiu was one thing before, but why is it getting more and more mysterious?

Luo Li'er's dark pupils trembled slightly.

"I was just kidding."

Yang Ni suddenly smiled, tilted her head back and drank the rest of her tea in one gulp. "The story is over. I'm leaving."

She patted her thigh.

"Sit a little longer."

Luo Li'er tried to persuade her to stay.

“I’m worried that if you sit any longer, you’ll have nightmares and won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Yang Ni got up jokingly.

Luo Li'er wants to give it to her.

"You should rest for a while."

The shrewd and understanding Yang Ni could sense her feelings and kindly told her to take a break. Accompanied by Pei Yunxi, they walked outside.

"If you encounter any problems, let me know."

Carrying her younger sister on her back, Pei Yunxi spoke softly.

"I'm old and faded, and I don't have any spiritual roots, so who would want me?"

Yang Ni smiled, then turned around and looked at Luo Li'er, who was sitting alone on the sofa in a daze, "Are you alright?"

"She's already twenty-four."

Yang Ni nodded and looked away.

"sister."

After seeing Yang Ni off, Pei Yunxi returned. Luo Li'er looked up and called out, but her words carried a myriad of meanings and profound implications.

She knew her cousin had had a tough journey, but it wasn't until tonight that she truly understood just how difficult it had been.

or.

Her understanding is still one-sided.

"I don't have any special destiny."

Pei Yunxi sat down.

Luo Li'er smiled complicatedly and pursed her lips, "Being a vase is not bad either."

Perhaps this is the answer to Yang Ni's question?
"Whoosh-"

A cushion flew over.

Luo Li'er cried out in pain, her hair disheveled from the impact, and she staggered around, grabbing the cushion and sitting up again. Her gaze then shifted downwards, landing on her cousin's flat and alluring abdomen.

Her cherry lips had barely moved, before she could even utter a word, when a cold rebuke rang out first.

"Shut up!" (End of Chapter)
