Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 173 Sacrifice and Refinement (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of the Law Master)

Record the scene.

Yu Xuanchen listened to the cheers around him, his eyes narrowing with secret delight.

Earth is still the best fit for me!
Back in the heavens, anyone could step on him; when had he ever enjoyed being the center of attention like this?

Thinking of this, she slightly curved her crimson lips, and as she walked towards the rest area, she glanced at Meng Bai triumphantly and said, "Isn't that unexpected?"

"..." Meng Bai's eyelids twitched. This was not only unexpected, but even a True Immortal wouldn't have anticipated your return!

Seeing that he didn't reply, Yu Xuanchen continued, "When this trip is over and I return to my original appearance, I will make the whole world cheer for me, hahahaha..."

Laughing, she exclaimed again via voice: "Awesome!!!"

"Hey~~" Meng Bai, who was still feeling awkward, was finally amused by her.

This is the difference between Yu Xuanchen and Su Xintang.

Su Xintang only pretends when she transforms into Meng Bai; but Yu Xuanchen, whether he transforms or not, she always wants to pretend!
It was at this moment that Meng Bai realized that Yu Xuanchen's mentality was actually no different from that of a teenager, a time of youthful exuberance and passion.

That's it.

Let her be happy.

"As long as you don't do anything in public that ordinary people can't do, everything else is fine."

"Hehe, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." After saying that, Yu Xuanchen plopped down in their camp's rest area and started chatting with her fans.

As for Meng Bai, he was also surrounded by onlookers.

The question that everyone is most concerned about is naturally the relationship between Meng Bai and Yu Xuanchen.

Xu Mengjie, in particular, practically stepped to the forefront of gossip, asking all sorts of questions with great enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the professional coaches, led by Deng Yaping, are still questioning their own existence.

One of the coaches approached rhythmic gymnastics coach Zhang Doudou and asked, "Can you do the rings cross?"

“It’s definitely impossible.” Zhang Doudou immediately shook her head.

Although both are gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics is completely different from other gymnastics events.

After saying that, she added, "There's no women's rings event in major competitions. I really don't understand, her arms look about the same thickness as mine, where does she get so much strength to do the rings cross?"

"Right? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really suspected that it was either wire work or special effects."

Amidst everyone's sighs, the program's recording was paused.

Staff need to set up a new set of physical testing equipment.

The contestants began to disperse in twos and threes; some went to the restroom or did other things, while others stayed behind to chat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Bai and Yu Xuanchen pulled Xu Mengjie aside and chatted while studying her gold medal.

As mentioned before, because Meng Bai chose the [Artifacts and Talismans] talent for Yu Xuanchen, she gained some related basic knowledge in her mind.

Among these basic knowledge points are methods for distinguishing the quality of "precious artifacts".

Of course, these methods are not completely accurate, but they can help to make a rough distinction when dealing with ordinary magical artifacts and treasures.

"How is it?" Meng Bai asked in a voice message.

"It really is a magical artifact! To be precise, it's a prototype. It needs to be refined with other materials to truly unleash its power. For now, it can only be used as a weapon to smash people."

Yu Xuanchen sat on the ground, looking at the gold medal in his hand with great surprise.

She exclaimed, "I never imagined that there would be magical artifacts on Earth! What's more, this artifact is very strange. It's made of ordinary materials, yet it inexplicably possesses the qualities of a treasure."

"How's the quality? Is it good?" Meng Bai asked curiously.

"The quality isn't high, it's even a bit too low, barely meeting the standard of a magic weapon. It's a far cry from the magic treasure you got from Lu Dai."

"I don't know if it's because it wasn't refined, or because the gold content of this medal isn't high," Yu Xuanchen said, putting the medal back into the box.

Hearing this, Meng Bai thought for a moment and said, "After we finish recording today, I'll take you to find some real world champions tonight and see what their gold medals are like."

“Okay.” Yu Xuanchen nodded.

Just as Meng Bai was about to say something more, a staff member walked over and said, "Gentlemen, Professor Huo Wenxi is looking for you."

Upon hearing this, the two turned around and saw Huo Wenxi standing not far away, waving at them.

A moment later, the two walked up to Huo Wenxi. Before they could speak, Huo Wenxi exclaimed in surprise, "Xia Tang, I knew you were good at martial arts, but I didn't expect you to be this good! You can even do the rings cross!" "Even more difficult ones are no problem," Yu Xuanchen replied, not one for modesty.

"Awesome!" Huo Wenxi gave a thumbs up.

After praising him, she turned to Meng Bai and said, "I've been discussing with the show's producers, hoping they can cut more scenes of you two as a couple. Is that okay with you?"

"What problem could there be?" Meng Bai asked, puzzled.

“I’m afraid you two want to develop your relationship on your own,” Huo Wenxi said very bluntly. “Couples have their advantages, and being single has its advantages. You’re both still young, so a tactical breakup isn’t out of the question.”

However, Meng Bai shook his head and said, "I don't have that idea."

"Then let's just keep promoting the couple." Huo Wenxi didn't try to persuade her; she was simply stating an objective fact.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Bai said, "Let's not talk about whether we're a couple or not. When is this show going to air?"

"The current statement is that the first four episodes will be pre-recorded, and after the four episodes are broadcast, the main competition will begin. The main competition, like other sports events, will be broadcast live for a total of three full days."

"So, we should actually be in the promotional period now, right?"

“Yes.” Huo Wenxi nodded.

"Then what do you think about leaking the video of Xia Tang doing the rings cross online through an insider?"

“We can’t release it; it would violate the confidentiality agreement.” Huo Wenxi immediately shook his head.

"I meant for the production team to release it as promotional material. Let me tell you, very few girls can do this move. After the video is released, with a little guidance, it might spark a wider discussion."

Especially the negative discussions; fitness bloggers and the like will definitely jump out and smear Xia Tang, saying that her claims are fake. The traffic will be at its peak then,” Meng Bai laughed.

He certainly wouldn't have done that under other circumstances.

Because he would never even consider having Su Xintang do anything like the rings cross; it would be too embarrassing.

Since Yu Xuanchen had already put on this show for Su Xintang, Meng Bai felt he couldn't waste the opportunity. He decided to make a move and maybe gain a lot of followers.

Meng Bai hopes that the account 【Xia Tang】 can reach two million followers this year. Although there are no related tasks yet, the number of followers is the foundation of its success.

Huo Wenxi understood what Meng Bai meant.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Yu Xuanchen and asked for confirmation, "It's not that I don't trust you, but can you do that rings cross next time?"

After saying that, she looked at Meng Bai and said, "If Xia Tang can't do it, then the negative publicity will be endless. You know Luo Yunxi, right? She made the news before."

The claim that they used a 40-pound prop spear in filming was ridiculed online. The ridicule itself wasn't the problem; the main issue was ensuring a turnaround during the peak of the negative publicity.

"Don't worry, Xia Tang wasn't bragging. The rings and crosses are nothing to her," Meng Bai said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huo Wenxi immediately said, "If that's the case, then I agree with your idea. After reaping this wave of attention, Xia Tang will probably experience a surge in popularity and become a breakout internet celebrity."

"If you were to handle it yourself, would you have the time?" Meng Bai asked.

Huo Wenxi is only a nominal agent; she and Su Xintang have never signed a contract, and her work does not include Su Xintang's management duties.

“I can keep an eye on things for you,” Huo Wenxi readily agreed.

"I'll give you 10% of Haofang Skin Management Center, and sell it to you from my shares. I'll talk to Ning Meng and the others about it another day." Meng Bai wasn't stingy; all his businesses served Guangdian.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’m just waiting for this to help me retire.” Huo Wenxi’s eyes lit up. She added, “Speaking of appointments, could you expand your capacity? It’s too difficult to make an appointment now.”

“We can’t expand; we only have so much to produce each year. Besides, how can we sell at a good price if it’s easy to get a lot of stock? The harder it is to get stock, the more people will line up.” Meng Bai has no intention of expanding production capacity.

"Seriously, have you considered bringing in a big investor to invest in the company?" Huo Wenxi changed the subject and said in a low voice, "If you do it all by yourself, you'll be targeted sooner or later."

"Did someone ask you to act as a matchmaker?"

“No, that’s not it. I just had this prediction. You’re still young, and you probably haven’t seen those kinds of blatant exploitation and plundering yet.” Huo Wenxi shook his head.

"It's alright. If anyone asks you, just tell them boldly that the formula belongs to me alone, and if they want it, they can come to me." Meng Bai smiled.

His smile carried a hint of wickedness.

He was eager to see if anyone was tired of living, as he was worried about not having any corpses to use his Yin-Yang Profound Wood!

Seeing that Meng Bai had already said that.

Huo Wenxi also stopped mentioning the "Haofang Skin Management Center" topic and instead steered the conversation back to promotional matters:

"Then I'll talk to the production team and see if we can release the video in advance for promotion. If not, we can wait until the full episode airs and then figure it out."
