Chapter 278: Chapter 278: It’s Either You Die or You Die Suddenly

"Shi Yaoguang!"

After Shi Yaoguang finished the scenes that Director Xu needed, she was stopped by Shi Yiqing.

Without turning her head, Yaoguang simply stood there and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Why are you shooting commercials?" Shi Yiqing eyed her intently, as though guarding against her lies.

Yaoguang counter-asked, "What do you think?"

Shi Yiqing’s brows knitted in frustration: "I’m asking you—why have you suddenly entered the entertainment industry?"

Yaoguang bared her teeth, giving her a mysterious smile, "You guess."

"How am I supposed to guess?"

Shi Yiqing seemed on the verge of collapse, "Why in the world are you..."

Yaoguang turned around, her smile beaming as she looked at her, "You must have some guesses in your mind, and I... am just what you’re thinking."

Shi Yiqing: "..."

How infuriating.

Reflecting on what Yaoguang had said, she ventured, "You entered the entertainment industry because of me?"

Yaoguang tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then nodded: "You could say that."

"What do you mean ’you could say that’?" Shi Yiqing was very dissatisfied, "Is it or isn’t it?"

Yaoguang: "It is."

She revealed a meaningful smile, "I heard the director took a liking to you, and I thought it was quite amusing, so I wanted to get involved."

Upon hearing this, two words sprang to Shi Yiqing’s mind.

As expected.

Yaoguang was doing it on purpose!

"Don’t think that by doing this, you can replace me!"

That’s what Shi Yiqing said aloud, but inside she was filled with a sense of crisis.

If she were honest with herself, Yaoguang was far more beautiful than her.

Of course, she would never admit that.

Even if she wouldn’t acknowledge it, Yaoguang’s beauty was undeniable.

She had no confidence she could outshine her in the movie.

Even though, she was someone the director favored highly.

The resentment Shi Yiqing harbored towards Yaoguang was brimming, almost ready to overflow.

Damn Shi Yaoguang...

How could she always be after her like this?

One day, she would...

A bloody image suddenly flashed through Shi Yiqing’s mind.

Instantly, she felt a sense of enlightenment.

Yaoguang keenly noticed her emotional shift.

Shi Yiqing envisioned the scene of Yaoguang bleeding out on the spot in her mind, and when she looked at Yaoguang after that, she felt she wasn’t as odious as before.

After all, she was bound to suffer an accident sooner or later.

With that being so, why should she care about a dead person?

The way Shi Yiqing looked at Yaoguang filled her with discontent.

She immediately curved her lips into a provocative smile, "In the past, you took everything from me; in the future, I will take everything from you. That’s called reciprocation."

"I hope you can withstand it."

Shi Yiqing’s face turned pale, she could tell that Yaoguang wasn’t joking.

At this thought, a more solemn expression crossed her face.

"You..." Shi Yiqing closed her eyes, trying to appear weak, "I was wrong before, whatever you want, I will return to you. Please don’t target me anymore, okay?"

"Return to you?" Yaoguang licked her lips, her eyes tinged with scornful irony, "How can you say that?"

"My things, I didn’t even get a chance to touch them before they were snatched away."

"After you’ve exploited the essence of my things, you come back and say ’I’ll return it to you’? What would you return to me? After eating my seeds, you spit the shells back at me?"

Shi Yaoguang crossed her arms, a certain frostiness cloaking her, "You’re giving this back to me, but I’m not fortunate enough to endure it."

"No, that’s not what I meant, Sister... I truly meant it," Shi Yiqing hurried to explain, "I was wrong before, I was too greedy, I know that was not good, so I..."

"You don’t need to explain to me anymore," Shi Yaoguang interrupted her, "Our auras clash; it’s destined that either you perish or suddenly die. There can be no third outcome."

"Instead of thinking how to please me, you’d better think about how to protect what you want."

Shi Yiqing furrowed her brows fiercely, "Are you really going to be this ruthless?"

Shi Yaoguang extended a finger and wagged it, "It’s not that I’m being ruthless, it’s just..."

She pointed at the sky, "That."

"That?" Shi Yiqing didn’t understand her meaning, "What does that have to do with anything?"

Shi Yaoguang pulled a cold, mocking smile, "You don’t need to concern yourself with that. Just know that no matter how powerful your backing is, you can’t do anything to me."

Shi Yiqing pouted, "Sounds nicer than it looks."

"If you’re really that capable, then..." Her sentence trailed off mid-thought when her gaze fell upon Shi Yaoguang, her eyes suddenly widening; disbelief filled her eyes.

She...

She actually saw purple threads on Shi Yaoguang!

Shi Yiqing didn’t know what these threads were, but she could tell they were no trivial matter!

There were clearly none on Shi Yaoguang when she had seen her before.

Shi Yiqing rubbed her eyes, trying to get a clearer view. But upon closer inspection, the threads on her vanished.

"How could this be?"

She murmured softly, shock filling her eyes.

Shi Yaoguang watched her with a smile, "What’s wrong?"

Shi Yiqing covered her mouth, astonished, "You, you have on you..."

Shi Yaoguang furrowed her brows, "I have what?"

"Threads! Purple threads!" Shi Yiqing, startled by her recent sighting, couldn’t hold back and blurted out what she saw.

After hearing her out, Shi Yaoguang made an expression of sudden realization, "I know what you’re talking about now."

Shi Yiqing widened her eyes, "You, you know what that is?"

Shi Yaoguang chuckled mischievously, "I know, but... why should I tell you?"

"How can you be like this? I told you about it!"

"Do I need you to tell me about something that’s on my body?" Shi Yaoguang retorted.

Shi Yiqing was at a loss for words.

Her reasoning did make sense, but... why did it make her feel so uncomfortable?

Shi Yaoguang couldn’t care less about what she was thinking. Her current mood could be summarized in two words...

Happy!

Extremely happy.

The purple thread that Shi Yiqing had seen, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t see herself, but she knew what it was.

Every world has its destiny.

Purple represented one kind of destiny, and since this world was constructed around love stories, the color of the thread on Shi Yiqing’s body was probably pink.

Pink destiny, quite unique.

However...

Aside from dumbing down opponents, pink destiny seemed to have no other effect.

Shi Yaoguang mulled over this in her mind, then suddenly, her eyes lit up.

It seemed she had thought of an even better way to turn the tables.

What of replacing Lovebrain? If one is to act, then go big.

Shi Yaoguang had thought it all through about how she would proceed next.

Shi Yiqing had no idea that inspired by her, Shi Yaoguang had even shifted her original target.

If Shi Yiqing knew, she would probably die of regret.

But it was still too early to say such things. Right now, Shi Yiqing’s worries were how she could stop Shi Yaoguang from ruining her romantic prospects.
