Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 282: Inscribing Heaven and Earth, the Fusion of Six Major Abilities, That Person Resembles My Brother (II)

Meanwhile, as Chen Chu looked after Yan Ruoyi in the recording studio, Li Daoyi, dressed in Daoist robes and exuding a refined aura, wandered around the corporate building wearing sunglasses.

"Hey, beauty, can I add you as a friend?"

"Sorry, my phone's dead."

"What a coincidence."

"Yes."

"But it's okay, I can charge your phone for you."

"Huh...?"

In the thirty-second floor, in Bai Yunfeng’s office, the director was dealing with upcoming schedules and arrangements, while her assistant stood nearby, feeling awkward as she spoke.

"Madam, we've received over thirty reports this morning. Mr. Li Daoyi has been adding any attractive female employee he comes across as friends. He's harassed almost every department, and the employees are quite upset. Should we admonish him?"

Bai Yunfeng shook her head slightly. "No need to bother. As a military genius, Li Daoyi's actions shouldn't be judged solely on the surface; there must be deeper intentions."

Xu Xiaoqi hesitated. "Are you suggesting that he's using this method to inspect the employees, and see if there are any traitors?"

"Exactly. After all, his task is to protect Little Yi. As a professional, he naturally needs to familiarize himself with the surroundings and individuals and conduct a thorough investigation."

Xu Xiaoqi was suddenly filled with admiration as she said, "I see."

Indeed, he was a professional. Although such behavior might make him seem frivolous, it effectively concealed his true purpose, avoiding suspicion from potential traitors.

At noon, after finishing a nutritious meal in a private restaurant, Yan Ruoyi and Bai Yunfeng went to the adjacent lounge, as Chen Chu and Li Daoyi sat at another table more than ten meters away. On their table were various dishes made from mutated beast meat, rich in high-energy nutrients.

After Yan Ruoyi and the others left, Li Daoyi excitedly whispered, "Brother Chu, there are so many beauties in this building. I added over thirty friends this morning alone."

Chen Chu looked at him strangely. "What are you adding them as friends for? Are you pursuing one to be your girlfriend, or just for a one-night stand?"

As an Innate Awakener, Li Daoyi didn't need to pursue anyone once he revealed his identity. A bunch of beautiful women would climb into his bed without him needing to chase after them.

"Hehe, neither."

Chen Chu became even more curious. "If it's neither, why are you adding them as friends? To go shopping and haggle for discounts?"

Li Daoyi grinned excitedly. "Of course not! I add them to chat. I've found it quite interesting to chat with these beauties."

"As long as I send them a little red packet, they'll keep calling me handsome and want to chat endlessly. Some even invite me to go shopping and drinking at night, saying they want to show me the new dresses they've bought."

Cough! Cough!

Even Chen Chu almost choked this time and couldn't help but ask, "How much money do you put in those red packets?"

Li Daoyi replied casually, "Not much. The red packet limit is only a thousand, so that’s what I send each time. They seem quite excited about that."

"Good thing. I thought you were sending something like a hundred thousand." Chen Chu nodded.

"A hundred thousand? Impossible. Sure, killing a high-level mutated beast would easily fetch tens or hundreds of thousands, but wouldn't it be better to use that money to exchange for contribution points? No, do I look that stupid?" Li Daoyi suddenly realized.

"Not stupid," Chen Chu chuckled. He did, however, seem a bit na?ve.

Li Daoyi continued in an excited tone. "Actually, chatting with those beauties is quite interesting. They'll share celebrity gossip with me, discuss fashion, or talk about what dress they'll wear tomorrow.

"Sometimes they even send me some private pictures, looking very sexy. It feels like having many girlfriends at once. So I've decided. From today on, my hobbies are two: cultivation and chatting with women."

"Your hobbies... are quite something." Chen Chu gave this assessment.

"One, two, one, go... Yes, turn around, sway with the music, take half a step..."

In the dance practice room in the afternoon, Yan Ruoyi and her female dancers were rehearsing the new song's choreography on stage, while the choreography instructor below guided their every move.

In the corner of the training room, Chen Chu remained seated, continuing to read with his head bowed.

The next three days passed in a flash, and Chen Chu's activities were mostly within the Yuntian Tower. Apart from sleeping and grooming, Yan Ruoyi was basically always within his line of sight.

On the third day, Yan Ruoyi's first global tour concert began.

Outside the largest stadium in Tiannan City, the surrounding streets were already blocked off in the afternoon, prohibiting vehicles from entering or leaving. Law enforcement officers were stationed at every intersection.

This tour was not just Yan Ruoyi's final farewell, but also part of an official arrangement by the Federation. Therefore, the concert tickets were not sold, but randomly drawn through the official website of the Yuntian Group. All fans who wanted to attend the concert could register.

A certain number of tickets were allocated to each city, and those who won the draw could trade privately. They just needed to register with the drawn number and their ID card the day before the concert.

Since yesterday, tens of thousands of people had flooded into Tiannan City from all over East Xia, causing surrounding hotels to be fully booked. As the sky slowly darkened, countless young men and women gathered from all directions, their faces filled with excitement, anticipation, and joy.

"Get in line, get in line! Ticket inspection and entry starts now."

"Don't push, the concert won't start for another hour. Please take out your ID cards for security check."

"Over here, over here! Free distribution of glow sticks..."

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaoxiao, the host from Tiannan TV. Behind me is the live concert venue of the popular singer Yan Ruoyi. Our station will be broadcasting this event live. Miss Yan's agent revealed earlier that the proceeds from this concert will be donated to charity, helping children with congenital diseases fight against illness."

As tens of thousands began to enter, in the stadium’s backstage, Yan Ruoyi sat in a chair with makeup artists and stylists busy around her. Not far away, Chen Chu and Li Daoyi stood at the door in black suits, white shirts, and sunglasses, overlooking the vast crowd below.

Li Daoyi held a document as he whispered.

"Security for this concert is divided into four parts. The local patrol station is responsible for maintaining order outside, while ordinary security guards hired by the company are on duty inside the stadium. Li Long and the other bodyguards are responsible for the stage area. If anyone rushes the stage during the concert, they will intercept them. We are the last line of defense.

"We need to pay attention to the interactive segments and the fans' flower tribute at the end. Apart from that, Yan Ruoyi won't have direct contact with the audience. But everything seems normal for now. At least, no suspicious individuals were found during the first official backstage screening."

Chen Chu nodded slightly. "It's best if everything goes smoothly. It'll make our job easier too."

Of course, as much as they said so, both knew that the safer it seemed, the less they could afford to relax. After all, according to military intel, the two king soul avatars had sneaked in over half a month ago and might already be acting covertly.

While the two whispered to each other, Yan Ruoyi finished her makeup for the opening today and walked over. Instantly, both Chen Chu and Li Daoyi were amazed.

As today's main character, Yan Ruoyi's face, already picturesque, was lightly made up, appearing flawless. In addition, she had applied a row of subtle shimmering flakes at the corners of her eyes, giving them a sparkling look under the lights.

Paired with a magnificent white gown adorned with lace and sequins at the cuffs and neckline, it gleamed silver all over. As the gown cascaded down her waist, it spread out behind her, forming a white fishtail train, while the inner skirt went down to her knees, revealing her snow-white calves and red crystal high heels.

Elegant and luxurious, unparalleled beauty. These words subconsciously came to Chen Chu's mind.

Yan Ruoyi smiled at the corners of her mouth. "How do I look today? Isn't this outfit very beautiful?"

"...Miss Yan looks very beautiful today." Chen Chu nodded.

Li Daoyi chuckled. "Even without makeup, Sister Ruoyi, you're still the most beautiful."

At this moment, Xu Xiaoqi walked over and checked her watch. "Ruoyi, it's almost time. There's a TV station interview in the corridor downstairs next."

"Okay." Yan Ruoyi, dressed in a magnificent gown, walked ahead, followed by Chen Chu and Li Daoyi as they descended the stairs.

"Miss Yan Ruoyi, the concert will start in five minutes. Do you have anything to say to the audience and fans nationwide?"

Facing the microphone and camera, Yan Ruoyi smiled gracefully and said, "Today marks the beginning of my first concert tour. I want to thank everyone who has come to support and attend the concert..."

At this moment, anyone interested in Yan Ruoyi's concert in East Xia was watching the live broadcast and interview. Most of the viewers were teenagers, as they constituted the majority of stars' followers.

In a nice villa in Wujiang City, six teenagers sat on the sofa, excitedly watching the live broadcast on the big screen.

Li Yiyi exclaimed happily, "The concert is about to start. Yan Ruoyi looks so beautiful today, even more beautiful than in her album MV."

Beside her, the burly Chen Hu nodded eagerly. "Yeah, very beautiful. But I think her songs sound even better."

As Yan Ruoyi walked and interviewed, the live broadcast camera also captured some scenes behind her. Suddenly, Chen Hu made a soft sound of surprise.

"What's wrong, Chen Hu?" another male classmate asked curiously.

"Did you notice the person behind Yan Ruoyi?"

"Who?"

"The tall bodyguard in black clothes."

Another teenage girl's eyes lit up. "The bodyguard wearing glasses looks so cool."

"Uh... shouldn't we focus on Yan Ruoyi? Why are you paying attention to a bodyguard? Chen Hu, do you like looking at handsome guys?"

Rubbing the back of his head with embarrassment, Chen Hu hesitated. "No, I just feel like that person looks like my brother."

Li Yiyi shook her head. "Chen Hu, you must be mistaken. Your brother and mine went to the southern battlefield for training. How could he be a bodyguard for a celebrity?"

"Yeah, true." Chen Hu nodded.

As he watched the occasional figure passing behind Yan Ruoyi on the big screen, however, Chen Hu couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity. It was as if that person really was his brother.
