Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Clash in Fate

Chen Fan bought the sun hat, scarf, and sunglasses as Liu Yunxi had requested.

After preparing herself for quite a while in front of the mirror, making sure she was wrapped up tightly, she said to Chen Fan, "Let’s go."

Chen Fan asked, "Where to?"

Liu Yunxi had a mysterious look on her face, "You’ll know when we get there."

Chen Fan sat down on the couch and said, "You can go by yourself. Buying things for you was already more than kind, don’t push it."

At that moment, Lu Jinyuan sent him a message: Mr. Chen, the Life Spiritual Liquid is ready, and I have had someone try it; the effect is astonishing. The product has already gained some fame within a small circle, but the Lu Family has blocked our promotion channels. We currently can only rely on those who have experienced the Life Spiritual Liquid to promote it through their social circles, which is highly inefficient. Do you have any strategies to counter this?

Chen Fan slightly frowned, thinking that the Life Spiritual Liquid would become an instantly popular product once it was released, but he had not anticipated being obstructed at the first step.

Having no experience in promotion, he was at a loss for what to do for the time being.

In the meantime, Liu Yunxi made her way to Chen Fan with a pitiful look, shaking his arm, "Just accompany me, please. The place is quite secluded, and I’ve sent all my bodyguards away. I’m just a girl, and so heavenly beautiful, aren’t you worried I might run into danger?"

Chen Fan replied, "But you’re all wrapped up so tightly, who could tell you’re a beauty?"

Liu Yunxi said, "You have no idea how sharp those paparazzi’s noses are. Even if I were wrapped up like a zongzi, they’d still recognize me. What if they stealthily follow me and have nefarious designs on me?"

Chen Fan thought to himself that being too famous wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

However, he was still planning to refuse, as he was not close to Liu Yunxi.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, someone he would only see on television, he was just about to refuse when a thought suddenly came to his mind.

He quickly sent a message to Lu Jinyuan: Would getting a celebrity endorsement work?

Lu Jinyuan replied promptly: It would work, but given that our product is just starting out and Qingfan Pharmaceuticals currently doesn’t have much fame, not to mention being suppressed by the Lu Family, where would we find a celebrity willing to endorse us?

Chen Fan: Leave this to me, you don’t have to worry about it for now.

After putting down his phone, he looked at Liu Yunxi and said, "I can go with you and be your bodyguard for a few days, but you need to agree to do something for me."

Liu Yunxi asked, "What is it?"

"Help me endorse a product," Chen Fan said as he took out a jade bottle.

Inside was the Innate Spiritual Liquid he used for his cultivation.

He poured a glass of water and then added a small amount of the Innate Spiritual Liquid into it.

"This is called Life Spiritual Liquid, a product launched by my company. You can try it first and then decide whether you want to help me endorse it," Chen Fan handed the glass over.

Liu Yunxi looked skeptical, "Life Spiritual Liquid? You’re not running some scam health product company, are you?"

Chen Fan: "..."

"That’s why I’m letting you try it first."

Liu Yunxi took the glass and hesitated while looking at the Life Spiritual Liquid, which shone brightly but otherwise seemed indistinguishable from ordinary water.

"There’s no poison in it, right? If this guy had any bad intentions, he would have done something last night; there’s no need for this drama." Thinking thus, Liu Yunxi drank the liquid from the glass.

As soon as the Spiritual Liquid hit her stomach, her beautiful eyes widened in amazement.

Due to her irregular lifestyle from filming, she was always exhausted both mentally and physically.

But after drinking this glass of Spiritual Liquid, she felt an unprecedented ease in her body.

"Feels so good..." Liu Yunxi’s face flushed with a rosy glow, "This stuff is amazing!"

Chen Fan watched her, "So, will you help me with the endorsement? I’ll pay you a market-rate endorsement fee, plus extra for a few days of protection."

Liu Yunxi’s lips curled up slightly, "I can endorse for you and won’t need an endorsement fee, but you have to give me your birth date and time."

Chen Fan was puzzled, "Why do you want my birth date and time?"

Liu Yunxi held her head high, "A personal quirk, don’t ask too many questions."

"Fine." Chen Fan could only agree, wrote down his birth date and time, and gave it to Liu Yunxi.

Liu Yunxi glanced over and said with a smile, "So, can you come out with me now?"

Chen Fan nodded.

The two of them left the hotel together.

"Where are we going?" Chen Fan asked.

"Let’s go to Jinguang Temple first," Liu Yunxi said.

"Jinguang Temple, it seems to be in the suburbs, let’s take a taxi," Chen Fan said.

Liu Yunxi shook her head, "No, I want to take the bus."

Chen Fan laughed, "I never expected you, such a big star, to be so environmentally friendly."

Liu Yunxi lifted her head proudly, "What do you know, for a public figure, taking the bus is truly a luxury. I want to experience what it’s like to live freely like an ordinary person. You’d better protect me, or I won’t endorse for you."

Chen Fan chuckled, "Let’s go."

The pair headed to the bus stop and boarded the tourist bus line to Jinguang Temple.

On the way, Liu Yunxi was exuberant, gazing out the window at the scenery, chattering nonstop to Chen Fan like a magpie freed from its cage.

Chen Fan was influenced by her mood and felt unexpectedly much better.

"You said earlier you dismissed your bodyguards, why?" Chen Fan asked.

Looking out the window, Liu Yunxi said, "To live freely like a normal person for a few days."

Chen Fan nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Before long, the pair arrived at Jinguang Temple.

As a well-known temple in Provincial City, Jinguang Temple was bustling with people coming to offer incense.

Liu Yunxi took Chen Fan around the temple and came to a side hall where an old monk offered divination services.

Liu Yunxi walked over, knelt down, offered a bow, and then took out two pieces of paper.

One had her date and time of birth, and the other had Chen Fan’s.

The old monk glanced at them and asked, "Benefactress, what do you wish to divine?"

Liu Yunxi pondered, "Marital prospects!"

Chen Fan’s eyes widened at her side.

Seeing his expression, Liu Yunxi giggled, "Hey, it’s just for fun. What if we are a match made in heaven?"

The old monk took their birth information and began his divination.

After a while, the old monk spoke slowly, "Benefactress, your fate clashes with this gentleman’s. If you come together, it will surely bring disaster."

Liu Yunxi’s eyes snapped open, "Really?"

The old monk continued slowly, "However, if the benefactress is willing to donate some money for incense, this poor monk might be able to..."

Liu Yunxi rolled her eyes and stood up, "I don’t have money."

Chen Fan couldn’t help laughing.

Liu Yunxi glared at him, "What’s so funny? Our fates clash, and you have no chance with this great beauty, yet you still look so happy?"

Chen Fan’s lips curled up, "The person I like is not any lesser than you."

"Cut it out." Liu Yunxi left the side hall and led Chen Fan out of the back door of Jinguang Temple. Soon, they arrived at a mountain path rarely trodden.

Looking into the distance, they could see an ancient, dilapidated temple atop the mountain behind them.

"It should be here, let’s go over," Liu Yunxi led the way, climbing toward the neighboring mountain.
