Chapter 19: I’m a Super Star! (End)

A moment later, the man in black who had tried to run away screamed as he was being thrown out of the grove. His body slammed against the monster’s tentacle. The translucent tentacle deflected to the side due to his. .h.i.t, and as a result, the girl escaped unharmed.

“It was a good choice to let a spirit ghost follow you.”

Xu Shenxing slowly paced out of the grove, holding a stick in his hand.

Song Yu glanced at the man in black, who was lying on the ground, not knowing if he was dead or alive. Then looked at Xu Shenxing, blooming a pleasantly surprised expression on her face.

“I have lots to speak to you about, but there is one more important thing that I need to deal with.” Xu Shen smiled and then looked at the revived Mirage.

The monster was different from the other monsters that he had killed in another world. The monsters on the earth cared about their bodies, after they become Youkai (or spirit creatures), the most important organ for them was their “Demon Dan”.

Mirage’s pearl was a type of “Demon Dan”. When Song Yu adorned it on her body, she had Xu Shenxing’s Divine Protection, although it didn’t increase its physical defense power anymore, (because this type of change was pretty easy to be found by others) the evil property of Mirage’s Pearl was still perfectly squelched; it could only be used to increase the charm of Song Yu’s song as a pa.s.sive magic instrument.

However, it fell into the lake – the place where the Mirage lost its life; this place was still filled with the Mirage’s Qi. Afterwards, chemical reaction… no, occult reaction happened. The Mirage’s soul woke up inside the pearl and revived again.

Because Xu Shenxing hadn’t killed any youkai before, he made this mistake carelessly. Fortunately, Qin Xingyan warned him in time, in addition he also let a spirit ghost stay with the girl, which let him easily find where Song Yu was.

After seeing Xu Shenxing, the Mirage’s insufferable arrogance immediately disappeared. It turned around and tried to escape. After all, Xu Shenxing killed it as easy as blowing off dust when it was still in its period of full bloom. Now, it had lost its body and most of its power; it certainly felt that it was no match for him.

Xu Shenxing sniffed lightly. He threw the stick towards the Mirage at full tilt; the light stick instantly shot into the Mirage’s body as if it was an arrow.

The Mirage’s body was like a big balloon filled with water, and the stick was like a needle. It’s body exploded with a loud ‘Bang!’ sound and then turned into numerous water droplets, returning into the lake.

Xu Shen waved his hand. A dark blue pearl flew into his palm through countless splashes.

Song Yu didn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she thought she heard an unwilling roar of a monster inside the lake.

“There will be no accidents this time.” Xu Shenxing attached the scroll he got from Qin Xingyan onto the Mirage’s pearl, then the scroll instantly burned into ashes as the Mirage’s soul disappeared inside the pearl. After finis.h.i.+ng all this, Xu Shenxing handed over the Mirage’s pearl to Song Yu, “Do you still want it?”

This time, Song Yu shook her head, “I think I don’t need it anymore.”

“Don’t you want to be a super star?” Xu Shenxing played with the Mirage’s pearl, looking at the girl and asked, “If you are afraid of being entangled by strange men, I can help you… you do know I have that kind of ability, right?”

“I don’t want to rely on this type of thing to get a false success. Besides, I have been tired of being a superstar.” Song Yu showed a complex expression on her face. You could say it was a relieved expression or a sighing one, but it was certainly not unwilling. “Most of the time, the so-called super star is just some people’s doll, and I don’t want to be a doll. My major is Economic. I want to work in a large company after I graduate, to reach the top of my life with my own effort. I think that’s the real success, right?”

“Well, it seems that I have worried too much. You are pretty motivated.” Xu Shenxing smiled. He stroked the Mirage’s pearl; its originally dark blue color quickly faded, and finally turned into a translucent gla.s.s bead. However, if you looked carefully, you could still see some golden lights flashed inside of it. “This is a gift, to wish your success. Don’t worry; it has lost its original ability. You can simply treat it as an amulet.”

The girl gazed at the Pearl for a moment, then smiled and took over the newly Mirage’s pearl. “Well, thank you.”

————I’m a split line. (=￣ω￣=)————

The TV was broadcasting recent hot news – A real estate developer of Jiangjin City ran off in secret with some money.

As the backstage manipulator, Xu Shenxing was idly turning the pages of his economics textbook.

Two days later, he would have an exam, and Qin Xingyan also had an exam on that day, so she couldn’t come to help him. Xu Shenxing didn’t want to have a make-up exam on summer holidays, so he had to start cramming, to pa.s.s the exam.

Finally, the news ended, and the TV turned onto another news channel.

“The originally fast-emerging superstar and the most likely songstress who could win the Laurel of Song Circles, Song Yu, suddenly announces that she will quit the entertainment industry. Do you want to know what secret is hidden behind it? Let our experts voice their views…”

Looking at the several experts talking on the screen, Xu Shenxing sighed.

The zizi sound of cooking spread from the kitchen with a mouthwatering smell; even Moli who was lying on the sofa, had an expression as if she was dying due to hunger.

After a while, the girl who was discussed on the TV wore an ap.r.o.n and set several dishes on the table.

Moli cheered and jumped up from the sofa. She instantly sat down at her desk with an anti-physics fast motion. Though her face was still without any special expression, but her eyes gave up a sense as if it was s.h.i.+ning.

“Please taste it, I’m afraid that my cooking is a bit downgraded since it has already been awhile since last time I cooked.” Song Yu smiled shyly. She glanced at the TV, and then frowned, “Why are you watching this kind of boring thing?” Picking up the TV remote, she changed the channel into a soap opera.

“Just having a look.” Xu Shenxing shrugged his shoulders. He looked at the delicious dishes interested, but still pretended to be restrained, “In fact, you don’t have to cook meals for us so often.”

“It doesn’t matter. Cooking is one of my interests. When I felt tired with studying, I often cooked as a release.” The girl smiled, “It’s a pity that I’m different from you. I can’t live anywhere I want. Otherwise, I would choose to rent a room here.”

After that event, Song Yu became a frequent visitor of Sakura apartment. She often came to play with Xu Shenxing and Moli, and always cooked for them.

Surprisingly, Song Yu looked like a bread-and-b.u.t.ter miss, but her cooking was delicious. When compared with Xu Shenxing’s cooking, she could defeat him easily even if she closed her eyes..,

“How have you been recently? Are the paparazzi still troubling you?” Xu Shenxing put down the textbook and picked up his chopsticks.

“Not bad… at least it has been much better than before… People are forgetful. A shooting star like me will be quickly forgotten by them.”

It seemed that the girl didn’t care about it at all.

Xu Shenxing didn’t know why, but it seemed Qin Xingyan didn’t want Song Yu to know that she was living here, because she always hid in her room every time Song Yu came here, and Song Yu still didn’t notice there was another person living here except for Xu Shenxing and Moli.

“Do you want to go shopping with me after your meal?” Song Yu asked as Xu Shenxing gobbled.

“I have to study.” Xu Shenxing answered without thinking.

“I also have to test this course. If you go shopping with me, I can let you use my study notes as a reference.”

“Deal.” Xu Shenxing immediately agreed.

After all, Song Yu’s academic record always came first in examinations. Her study notes had a pretty big value.

“Hey hey, this time, I must…” Song Yu smiled and whispered with a face full of expectations.

“What did you say?” Xu Shenxing didn’t catch what she said.

“Nothing.” The girl smiled and said, “I just hope we will have a good time… “

The daily life in Sakura will still be continuing.
