Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Yawning

Su Huiqing held her phone and was about to go out when Uncle Chen stuffed her an umbrella as he said that the weather didn’t look great.

Holding the umbrella, she walked to a plaza not far away.

Before she reached Dugu Ji-An and the rest had already reached. Three cars with the Dugu Family’s logo parked at the plaza, making the ordinary folks keep a distance.

The people from the Dugu Family didn’t look good and their voices were uncontrollably sarcastic. “She actually made Young Master An wait—this Eldest Young Missy is really so arrogant. Does she know who’s waiting here?”

“That’s enough. Say no more. After all, she’s the Eldest Young Missy.” Dugu Xing reprimanded softly.

That person didn’t speak further, but the darkness on his face showed how unhappy he was.

However, Dugu Ji-An who was standing in front didn’t look impatient. Instead, he bought Dugu Jiyun some cotton candy with a slight smile on his face. His handsome figure attracted the gazes of most of the people at the plaza.

Suddenly, Dugu Jiyun stopped licking the cotton candy.

And looked blankly towards somewhere.

Dugu Ji-An followed her gaze, looked over, only saw a figure, and squinted his eyes—there was obviously no sunlight behind the figure, yet the sight was slightly glaring.

Perhaps due to the bad weather, it was rather windy at the plaza.

The oncoming person looked down slightly as she strode over casually. When she reached the plaza, she seemed to pause slightly, raise her chin, and scan the surroundings with her clear and pitch-black eyes, before she walked over in a designated direction.

She walked leisurely with a tinge of majesty.

The plaza was obviously very crowded. However, that figure that seemed to have emerged from a painting was still very outstanding with her aura that was absent in the bystanders.

Without thinking, Dugu Ji-An could already guess that she was the head of the Dugu Family’s daughter.

The Su Huiqing who refused to change her surname despite entering the Dugu Family tree.

Just then, suddenly, there was a deafening sound!

Dugu Ji-An as well as the people at the plaza instinctively raised her heads and looked at the huge screen at the plaza. There was an advertisement hung at the plaza—currently, it wasn’t showing the advertisement but a movie’s preview—

“Damn, there goes my chance.” This was a very cool voice. With it, the video showed a lady covered in blood all over.

Surrounding her were all kinds of beasts looking like the monsters in zombie films.

She jumped down from a tree, flipped, and kicked away a vicious dog that was about to bite off a child.

She reached out and wiped away some blood. Although she looked haggard, it couldn’t conceal her gorgeousness. Without any additional movements, she merely reached out, grabbed an almost desolate person beside her, looked down, and smiled ruthlessly. “If this game of life and death has to have a winner, why can’t it be us?”

Everyone who was still fighting the zombies couldn’t help but be stunned as they looked to her.

However, she did a flip, whipped out a dagger, and threw it out without even turning her head. The screen was almost filled with a layer of fresh blood!

A row of zombies collapsed. She looked up slowly and the screen only showed her truly bloodshot eyes.

There were no unnecessary expressions except for a cold and determined gaze. Everyone was stunned by that gaze of hers as their hearts skipped a beat.

Everyone looking at that screen all held their breaths as they watched her say each word clearly, “I, Blood Rose, will bring all of you out of the island. I’ll bring you guys… home!”

As she completed her statement, the entire scene gradually turned pitch-black!

Then, two gold and shimmery words in bold slowly appeared—

The Victor!

After a few seconds, a distant voice that sounded surreal said, “17th October, ‘The Victor’ will premier worldwide. See you there.”

Finally, that handsome and beautiful face flashed past.

The entire plaza went silent for a moment before countless shrieks sounded. “Who’s that?! So sensational!”

However, there were more of such instances—”Ah ah ah ah ah! In my lifetime! My king! Blood Rose!”

“In my lifetime! I’m going to cry!”

“No regrets in life!”

Dugu Ji-An had to admit that during the past second, his own spirit seemed to have been captivated as well. He gradually retracted his gaze, placed his hand on his chest, and felt that his heart was still racing.

“Young Master An?” The Dugu Family members who had recovered saw that Dugu Ji-An was still stunned and couldn’t help but feel strange.

Although they were also stunned just now.

However, they didn’t expect that Dugu Ji-An would be like this as well. He seemed to not have recovered till now.

“It’s actually this film…” Dugu Ji-An said softly after a long while.

His downcast eyes were slightly mysterious.

Young Master An, you know about this?” The people of the Dugu Family rarely paid attention to such matters. They had more important missions—compared to the virtual worlds on television, their worlds were more real.

Dugu Ji-An’s gaze deepened in a way that had never happened, as if this movie impacted him a lot. “Unexpectedly, it has been made into a movie.”

“Isn’t it just a movie?” Dugu Xing felt strange.

Isn’t it… just a movie?

Dugu Ji-An lit a cigarette slowly, only to let it burn in his fingers. For the ordinary folks, it was just a movie, just a novel…

However, for me, it was a real existence—including her who kept to her promise and brought them all out.

That island that was treated like a game.

However, they were all very young when they were placed on the island to be treated as a game by those in power. Lives weren’t like lives—people killed each other and were killed by those monsters.

As if everyone were numb—till that person appeared.

The thing that they did most correctly was to trust her from the start till the end.

For survival.

Survival.

No one knew how so many people actually showered in blood as they fought to escape that hell-like place.

After so many years, Dugu Ji-An had already hidden this memory deep within his mind.

Unexpectedly, this movie today made him remember everything that he had forgotten.

The calmness in him was shattered for that slight moment.

Turning into viciousness that couldn’t be concealed.

How could he forget that scene?

“We’re out of the island. This is the number 1 experiment table. Quick, get out—we’ll wait for you!”

“Number 1 experiment table—I can’t get there. You guys continue moving forward and will get out somehow. Remember… all of you have to be alive.”

At this thought.

Dugu Ji-An retracted the coldness in his eyes.

He reached out and put out the cigarette. Actually, he had always hated cigarettes.

A slight drizzle fell from the sky.

Su Huiqing had an umbrella but didn’t hold it up. Instead, she walked up to Dugu Ji-An and the rest casually. “Let’s go.”

“You’re the person in that video just now!” The Dugu Family and the rest looked at Su Huiqing, felt sparks in their heads, and immediately recalled the video just now.

And at this time, Dugu Xing recalled what Su Huiqing said earlier—she studied performing arts.

It seemed like it was really true.

The grand Eldest Young Missy of the Dugu Family actually went to study performing arts. Dugu Xing squinted her eyes, looked at Su Huiqing, and chuckled. “The Eldest Young Missy had indeed performed viciously. I know Director Lu—I’ll link you guys up the next time.”

When Dugu Ji-An heard that, he narrowed his eyes and glanced at Su Huiqing.

The person before him was exceedingly gorgeous and looked slightly like the Blood Rose in that video. Dugu Ji-An’s face turned very mild, and the viciousness in his eyes dispersed gradually. “You’ve acted very well.”

He smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Su Huiqing dangled her phone and looked at Dugu Ji-An mildly. “Thanks a lot.”

Then, she got into the car, placed the umbrella aside, and closed her eyes slightly.

Somehow keeping her distance from him.

She slept all the way to Principal Dien’s class.

Principal Dien saw that it was Dugu Ji-An, didn’t say much, and brought him directly to the meeting room. Only then did everyone realize that not only were the members of the Dugu Family present, there were also people from other families.

Principal Dien’s lecture was very practical—even Dugu Ji-An listened intently.

Su Huiqing supported her chin, couldn’t help but yawn as she listened, simply sprawled on the table, and slept.

Seeing her action, the people from the Dugu Family couldn’t help but frown. They had thought that there was something in her since she dared to accept the competition. Unexpectedly, she was still an idiot. Principal Dien was extremely prominent in the education field in the entire International Association and usually didn’t even give the few heads a face.

This lesson was extremely valuable and everyone wished more than to listen with both ears, but this Eldest Young Missy Dugu was actually yawning…
