Chapter 56: The Second Blood



While the drama of Tianliang Wangpo was still going on, Li Xi had already packed her bags and was ready to set off. Her destination was an ancient city in the south.

Who doesn't want to go on a spontaneous trip? Before traveling through time, Li Xi rarely went out. First, she didn't have the time, second, she didn't have the money, and third, she didn't like the idea of ​​going on holiday trips because she was always stuck in the crowds. Most importantly, she was reluctant to spend money, was too stingy and timid, and couldn't have a good time.

Now, with Luo Jingxuan's secondary card, time is no problem, and so are crowds! Take a taxi, rent a car, buy tickets, and even get skip-the-line tickets! Save time wherever you can.

I feel so happy when I think about others waiting anxiously in long queues while I can enter the venue early through the fast lane.

Hehe. As expected, the evil rich. (●'?'●)

Because she is rich and confident, Li Xi can travel as comfortably as she wants this time. She booked a business class ticket, a B&B in the best and highest-rated one in the area, and even had a special car to pick her up at the airport!

So Li Xi got on the B&B's special car as soon as she got off the plane. There was a special person to help carry her luggage, and someone to talk to her. The only difference was that these people were all very good-looking and all wore makeup.

In contrast, she only wore a layer of sunscreen. For a moment, Li Xi didn't know whether to complain about herself being too rough or the B&B staff being too refined. Speechless, Li Xi couldn't help but glance at a few more people. The more she looked, the more she felt these people didn't look like ordinary waiters. Not only were they good-looking and wearing makeup, but their attitude towards her was more like welcoming guests than customers.

That’s right! It’s a guest!

While in college, Li Xi worked part-time, including in the service industry, where she frequently interacted with service personnel. No matter how enthusiastic they were, or how friendly they were, they would always put themselves in a lower position to show respect, even if the customer was a classmate or friend.

But! These people were warm and friendly, but Li Xi felt they were there to keep her company, not to serve her. Li Xi couldn't put her finger on the specific difference, but it just felt strange. However, since she didn't sense any ill will from them, she didn't immediately get out of the car and leave. Instead, she engaged them in conversation with great interest.

As they chatted, Li Xi discovered many problems. The most obvious one was that the other person was clearly trying to steer her towards certain topics. For example, what kind of music did she like? Did she have any favorite singers? Did she watch talent shows or reality shows? Did she have any favorite idols? What movies were recently released? What TV shows were popular? What were the stars like?

Listening to their chatter, Li Xi grew increasingly confused. Could these people be celebrities hiding their identities to experience life, hoping to be recognized and screamed at? Or were they internet celebrities recording videos to play pranks?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt certain it was the case. While chatting with them, Li Xi discreetly observed the interior of the car and actually found a hidden camera. Oh well, what kind of luck was this? I just wanted to stay in a nice B&B, but how did I end up running into someone recording a show?

The closer she got to her destination, the more irritated Li Xi became. She had come here to relax, not to be surrounded by gossip! Where celebrities and influencers alike congregate, it's hard for ordinary people to find peace and quiet. But now that she was at the door, it felt awkward to check out and rebook. Not to mention that she'd read countless reviews before finally deciding on this hotel, even the check-out fee was painful. While she had plenty of money, it didn't make sense to just give it away.

Even if she had to pay for breaking something, or just hearing a noise, Li Xi didn't think it was a big deal. She didn't want to get involved in the hassle of checking out and being charged a handling fee, which was very unpleasant.

There was no retreat, only the challenge could be faced head-on. With this mindset, Li Xi and his group finally reached the famous place.

As soon as Li Xi got off the car, she saw the sign of the B&B. It was obviously different from the name on the Internet, and the design was also different. There was also a sponsor's logo next to the sign. Wow, this is not just a gathering of celebrities, this is a reality show, and there is someone in the show who can be considered an acquaintance - Chen Yanran.

The moment he saw her, Li Xi felt a pang of anxiety. Not the kind of pang that would lead to revenge, but the kind that would lead to something serious.

"Welcome our 132nd guest, Miss Li!" Li Xi was in a daze when the young man who had been chatting with her all the way shouted out loudly and led the applause.

Li Xi looked at the "receptionists" standing in two rows, then at the smiling "chatter" next to her, with a numb expression, "Can anyone explain to me what's going on? I just booked a B&B, is this necessary?"

Li Xi asked sincerely. After all, she hadn't been in this world long. Although she watched TV, she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, so she didn't pay much attention to remembering faces. To put it bluntly, she was a cast-away. So, apart from Shen Yanran, who she had paid close attention to, she didn't really know anyone here. She only knew this was a reality show when Su Yu told her a while ago that Shen Yanran was participating in a reality show, and Shen Zhou had reportedly invested quite a bit of money in it.

Su Yu spoke of this with a certain disdain. Because of her connection to the Shen family, Su Yu had known Shen Yanran before. She'd said she was interested in the entertainment industry and wanted to try her hand, but once she got in, Shen Zhou had always been there to protect her. Every resource she wanted was bought with Shen Zhou's money. She rarely acquired resources through sheer skill; to put it bluntly, she was a resource-rich persona. She even had the nerve to sell herself as a "hardworking" persona. It was truly appalling.
