Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 149: The Fox Fairy
There are terrorists!
Duan Mingyuan felt that he had recently developed an indissoluble bond with terrorists. On the Peach and in the Emerald Theater, terrorists came from various organizations and were everywhere.

After the silver-haired girl said this, the image of the Red Star Chamber of Commerce's envoy in his eyes changed, and the declaration of "My name is Magnetic Pump" seemed to echo in his ears.

According to the ministers and the silver-haired girl, although the explosion of the red crystal is not very powerful, it can cause a very strong infectious disease. If a crystal bomb were to explode in this densely populated theater, the entire court would probably be quickly overwhelmed by the Red Death.

Duan Mingyuan didn't understand the Space Security Act, nor did he know how these humanoid self-propelled plague bombs passed security checks and arrived on their planet.

The water is deep here and the problem is huge.

Someone must have taken some dirty money.

"Don't be afraid. I'm just trying to scare you. Although the Chamber of Commerce's envoys do have the potential to explode in theory, the weather regulators they wear are custom-made and implanted in their bodies. If you want to turn them into bombs, you first have to dissect their bodies, find the location of the regulators, and then destroy them."

The silver-haired girl's excited look made Duan Mingyuan believe that she was also a potential terrorist.

Why would a normal person want to study how to make the Red Star people's crystal explode?
"Let me guess, you're wondering why I know this so clearly?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl with an expectant look on her face, Duan Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

The silver-haired girl laughed heartily after receiving the response and patted Duan Mingyuan on the shoulder. "Because the Red Death is my research project, I am an expert in dealing with such problems. Don't worry, even if someone really intends to kidnap members of the Red Star Chamber of Commerce and detonate the crystals in their bodies, I can prevent the Red Death from spreading. You can rest assured that I will protect you."

If September were here, she would definitely blame the girl for planting the flag.

The girl's assurance also made Duan Mingyuan feel uneasy. Based on his years of experience, those people who let you rest assured are most likely scammers.

The Red Star Chamber of Commerce envoys publicly displayed auction items such as weather conditioners and crystallized rocks. Except for the weather conditioner that can be used as a portable air conditioner, the others are works of art.

He could only sigh that he was worthy of being in the court. Any exhibit at the auction was worth several years of his salary.

Before they could continue, the lights in the theater suddenly dimmed.

When the melodious music sounded, everyone looked towards the stage at the same time. They stopped talking and many of them held their breath.

The finale is here.

The interweaving of light and shadow turned the stage into a mountain path. The breeze blowing on the guests’ faces made them feel as if they were there. The mist gushing out from under the stage covered their ankles, as if they were really walking in the clouds.

Then--

"Ah! Fox fairy, look, it's actually a real fox fairy!"

Someone grabbed Duan Mingyuan's shoulders from the side, and because he was too excited, his fingers painted with shiny nail polish pressed his suit into the ground, causing it to dent.

The silver-haired girl's eyes shone like spotlights, and she was so excited that Duan Mingyuan was worried that she might rush onto the stage and throw herself into the fox fairy's arms at any time.

The other guests just stood there in a daze.

When the fox fairy walked out of the clouds, they lost control of their bodies and could no longer take their eyes off the woman who was slowly walking towards them from the depths of the forest.

The white gauze dress corresponds to the description of fairies in the books. She shuttles through the clouds and mist, wearing the clouds and mist on her body. The sword at the waist brings everyone back to the era described in the books.

This scene seemed familiar to Duan Mingyuan.

The woodcutter in "Strange Stories of Fox Demon" encountered a fox demon in the mist in the mountains, and from then on he could never forget the fox demon's appearance.

But he had never seen a September like this.

Different from her usual lively and charming appearance, the fox fairy on the stage is gorgeous and charming, but her cold temperament keeps people at a distance. She is clearly very close, yet there seems to be an insurmountable distance between them.

Caidie, who was behind the scenes, was amazed at Jiuyue's temperament. She only said one sentence, and Jiuyue grasped the effect they wanted with incredible precision. Even she, as a same-sex person, was deeply attracted and couldn't take her eyes off Jiuyue for a long time.

In Caidie's opinion, makeup, clothing and jewelry are easy to handle, but the innate temperament of the fox fairy is not something that everyone can imitate.

It’s a pity that Jiu Yue has no intention of staying in the court for long, which is really a pity.

The guests' reactions were all within her expectations. When they woke up from their dreams, everyone, regardless of their status, tried their best to keep the fox fairy's gaze on them for a second longer.

But as it is written in the book, worldly things cannot attract the attention of fairies.

Until - "Look, look! The fox fairy is looking at me, she must be looking at me!"

The silver-haired girl waved desperately at the fox fairy on the stage, and the fox fairy was still looking at her. Today must be her lucky day.

She was indeed not mistaken.

The fox fairy on the stage was indeed looking at her.

He even wanted to hit her and let her be stabbed by the sword.

As a master of fox taming, Duan Mingyuan understood Jiu Yue's eyes. A deep chill grew in her eyes, causing the temperature in the Emerald Theater to drop by several degrees.

This was the tacit understanding between him and Jiu Yue, who could spot him at a glance among the huge crowd in the audience.

The only flaw was that he also noticed a silver-haired girl next to him who was wearing particularly cool clothes and had a hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down."

Duan Mingyuan took a step to the left, causing the silver-haired girl's hand on his shoulder to lose its support.

"I can't calm down!"

Not only the silver-haired girl, but the guests around her also became equally excited. Everyone felt that the fox fairy was looking at them.

Then, this place became a scene of comparison.

People started a debate about "who is worthy of the fox fairy's attention".

In the end, the square-faced minister defeated all the others and won the debate with the highest official position among those around him.

This is the court. In people's perception, only those who are second only to the emperor and above everyone else are worthy of attention. A passerby like Duan Mingyuan, who is dressed in a suit and looks like an ordinary worker, naturally does not even have the opportunity to participate in the debate.

The victorious square-faced minister looked very pleased with himself, and even stood in a much more relaxed posture.

He is a frequent visitor to the Emerald Theatre, having attended almost every event and witnessed the theatre's carefully prepared programmes, but none of them has amazed him as much as this one.

Even though I knew that the fox fairy on the stage might just be played by an actor, I was still fascinated by it.

After drawing a clear line between himself and the silver-haired girl, Duan Mingyuan picked up the camera.

Time to get down to business.

It is rare to see the fox fairy Jiuyue, so he wants to record this moment carefully.

Jiu Yue on the stage observed Duan Mingyuan's actions and turned slightly to the side amid the exclamations of the crowd.

Then--

The fox fairy smiled at them!

As Duan Mingyuan pressed the button to take the photo, he felt that the people around him seemed to have gone crazy.

Some people simply beat their chests and stamped their feet, and all eyes, which were jealous to death, were focused on the square-faced minister.

The minister ignored the gazes around him, or rather, his eyes could no longer accommodate anything else, and his heart melted with that fleeting smile.

Yes,

The fox fairy smiled at him.

The minister was extremely confident.

Tonight, at this moment, he is the luckiest man in the world.
