Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

He is a frequent visitor to the Emerald Theatre, having attended almost every event and witnessed the theatre's carefully prepared programmes, but none of them has amazed him as much as this one.

Even though I knew that the fox fairy on the stage might just be played by an actor, I was still fascinated by it.

After drawing a clear line between himself and the silver-haired girl, Duan Mingyuan picked up the camera.

Time to get down to business.

It is rare to see the fox fairy Jiuyue, so he wants to record this moment carefully.

Jiu Yue on the stage observed Duan Mingyuan's actions and turned slightly to the side amid the exclamations of the crowd.

Then--

The fox fairy smiled at them!

As Duan Mingyuan pressed the button to take the photo, he felt that the people around him seemed to have gone crazy.

Some people simply beat their chests and stamped their feet, and all eyes, which were jealous to death, were focused on the square-faced minister.

The minister ignored the gazes around him, or rather, his eyes could no longer accommodate anything else, and his heart melted with that fleeting smile.

Yes,

The fox fairy smiled at him.

The minister was extremely confident.

Tonight, at this moment, he is the luckiest man in the world.

Thank you for the 200 Starting Coins reward from New to Star Ocean!

Chapter 150 Big Star

The auction was an unprecedented success, or perhaps too much of a success.

Caidie had to spend a lot of time explaining to the guests that fox fairies were not auction items, that human trafficking was a felony according to court law, and that the Emerald Theater did not provide any fox fairy services for drinking or chatting.

But obviously, not everyone knows how to give up.

Especially for those who are in high positions and always get what they want.

The square-faced minister did not leave after Caidie's dissuasion, but waited outside the Emerald Theater, because he was very sure that the fox fairy had just smiled at him on the stage, which was a hint to him that people like him who hold high positions can always be favored by the people.

But this is the Third Prince's territory after all, and he believes that Miss Fox Fairy must like polite people.

September, who had just finished filming in the theater, stretched. She took off her white dress and changed into everyday clothes.

Although long skirts look good, they are inconvenient to wear and restrict movement. She still likes the casual clothes that Mr. Mingyuan bought for her. The tail part has been tailored by Mr. Mingyuan so it won't get stuck at all.

"Ms. September, this is today's payment. The payment has been transferred to your account."

Caidie brought the promised gift package, and after thinking it over, she asked with a try-it attitude, "What do you think of the life of a star?"

"not bad."

September was in a good mood after receiving the gift box. She was a little hungry after being busy for an afternoon, and she could eat a whole chicken now.

"Well, have you ever considered becoming a regular customer of Emerald? We can arrange the most professional team for you, and it won't be long before you become a household name."

Caidie was reluctant to let Jiuyue leave.

Household name is an understatement, and with the enthusiastic response from the guests, she feels that September's fame may spread throughout the universe in the future.

Emerald occasionally invites cosmic stars to perform in the theater, and tickets are always hard to come by. Those fanatical fans will even buy interstellar travel tickets and travel across a galaxy to Emerald just to watch the performances.

However, they have not yet been able to cultivate a superstar of cosmic level.

According to Caidie's observation, every superstar of the universe possesses an innate unique temperament, which cannot be acquired through practice. She has been committed to discovering new talents, but has made no progress until today when she met Jiu Yue on the train platform.

She was very sure that September possessed such a temperament.

Just one look is enough to drive people crazy.

Facts also proved her judgment.

Jiu Yue only took one stage to win the hearts of the people and completed several years of efforts by others. Ministers of the court and distinguished guests of the company specially found them after the exhibition to inquire about the news about the fox fairy.

The ultimate dream for countless Emerald Theatre performers is just the beginning of September.

"We have already drawn up a large-scale project called "The Fox Fairy of Changes" and would like to invite you..."

"No."

Jiu Yue refused immediately. To her, today's performance on stage was just an experience of life. Now that she understood the life of a celebrity, there was nothing worth reminiscing about.

She has little interest in becoming a big star.

It’s tiring, and there are many things that are beyond my control. I have to follow the team’s arrangements.

If she were a real star, after a long day of filming, she would have to go to a cocktail party - everyone expected her to show up at the next cocktail party, which was a social gathering for the upper class, and those who could decide the future of the court and even the world would attend the cocktail party.

What's worse is that she won't even have the chance to go out alone anymore.

It is hard to imagine that a superstar going downstairs to buy groceries and eating a steamed chicken at the Lao Sui Restaurant near his home would make headlines.

It's terrible.

Jiu Yue had no interest in this kind of restricted life. As for the love people showed her at the exhibition...

That is the inevitable result.

She is a pure-blooded nine-tailed fox, and being loved by people does not bring her any joy. Only when Mr. Mingyuan takes pictures of her with a camera does she feel a sense of accomplishment.

With this gift package, she can play the role of fox fairy at home anytime as long as Mr. Mingyuan asks.

"Oh, that's such a shame."

Seeing Jiuyue's firm attitude, Caidie had to give up. She felt that this might become a regret that would accompany her for the rest of her life. "Thank you for your hard work today. I'll take you out through the back door."

Considering that Jiuyue didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, Caidie began to make the next arrangements.

The guests participating in the exhibition were very enthusiastic, and many of them did not leave immediately after the exhibition ended, but stayed behind hoping to catch a glimpse of the fox fairy.

Fox fairy is an image on stage, and people always want to know more and are eager to know the true identity of the actor.

However, as soon as they went out, an uninvited guest appeared on their way.

It's the square-faced minister.

Holding flowers in her hands, she carefully tidied her clothes.

The minister was a frequent visitor to Emerald and an important guest of the Third Prince. He was very familiar with everything going on in and out of the theater, but he knew his limits and had never run behind the scenes to stop anyone.

The minister saw September at a glance and was stunned again.

He actually appreciated completely different beauty from the same person - September, who took off her white dress, also got rid of her cold temperament that kept people at a distance. Under the lights, she was charming and attractive, and her every frown and smile touched people's hearts.

The minister knew that he should not have taken such initiative.

He holds an important position in the court. If the actress who plays the fox fairy is interested in him, she should contact him through the colorful butterfly. There are too many people in the theater who want to get in touch with him, and he can't make everything seem so easy.

But this time, the minister was willing to throw away all the red tape.

He took a step forward and looked at September with deep eyes.

Miss Fox Fairy has satisfied all his fantasies about beautiful things.

The minister took a step forward excitedly, because the fox fairy lady smiled at him again. Compared with the fleeting smile on the stage, this time her smile was more obvious, brighter and more moving.

He saw that Miss Fox Fairy also quickened her pace and walked towards him quickly.

While waiting, the minister had been thinking about his self-introduction and topics for their first conversation. He believed that he would be able to leave a deep impression on Miss Fox.

"I am--"

As soon as he said this, Miss Fox Fairy had already passed him by, and she didn't even have time to give him the flowers in her hand.

Huh?

what! ?

The minister froze in his place.

Before he turned around, he heard a beautiful and haunting voice. Even the voice of the fox fairy lady was so intoxicating.

"I'm hungry and want to eat roast chicken tonight!"

The minister turned around stiffly, and September, who had snuggled into Duan Mingyuan's arms so intimately, deeply stung his eyes.

He saw that Miss Fox Fairy was smiling brightly, with her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

roast chicken?

What kind of unpresentable dinner is this?

His house had fine wines and some of the best chefs in the court.

Upon closer inspection, the man holding the fox fairy lady was wearing a suit and was clearly a member of the lowest class of workers.

Come to think of it, when Miss Fox Fairy came on stage just now, this worker seemed to be holding a camera not far from him.

Emerald was a gathering of the upper class and dignitaries, and it was rare for such unknown little characters to appear, but this left an impression on the minister.

Is it...

Didn't Miss Fox Fairy ever smile for him?

"Let's go."

Without giving the minister any chance to speak, Duan Mingyuan took the gift box from Jiu Yue and walked to the end of the corridor side by side.

The total number of days on the shelf: 25~

Chapter 151 To the Minister

"I've worked really hard today, so I'll give you a chicken drumstick as a reward."

Jiu Yue's cheeks were flushed, and she contentedly put a chicken leg on her plate. Under her temptation, Mr. Ming Yuan finally fell under her spell, skipped the party hosted by the Third Prince, and the two of them slipped out of the palace together and came to this roast chicken restaurant that had the slogan "All-you-can-eat chicken".

The specific method was to wrap her hands and feet around Mr. Mingyuan and refuse to come down unless he agreed.

She learned this trick from a video.

When children want to buy toys in the mall and their parents disagree, they will hug their parents' arms or thighs and refuse to leave.

Simple, but effective.

She had done some research on the first day she arrived at Chaozhong, and found out that this roast chicken restaurant was the highest-rated civilian restaurant in the vicinity and was very popular among working people.

The restaurant was bustling with activity. Workers who were off work gathered here in groups of three or four, telling each other the strange stories they had heard recently.

The news about the fox fairy has already spread here. Jiu Yue heard at least three tables of people discussing her. Fortunately, the sleight of hand can save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It is feeding time and no one can disturb this sacred moment.

"Mr. Mingyuan, you should try it too. The surface is very crispy and the meat is very juicy. The owner of this shop is indeed a roast chicken master!"

Gourmet September acknowledged the level of this restaurant and allowed the other party to use the name of Immortal.

Jiu Yue introduced, "It is said on the Internet that this roast chicken shop has a history of hundreds of years. It was located here when Chaozhong was just built. The current owner is the 9th generation successor. They have studied the roast chicken recipe for generations and honed this skill to the pinnacle. The first thing their children learned after they became sensible was to roast chicken."

"This is marketing copy, and it's the kind that's long out of date."

Duan Mingyuan reminded that these days only naive little foxes like Jiu Yue would believe the propaganda on the Internet.

He has seen at least a dozen identical copywritings, all with the same format, except that “roasted chicken” is replaced with “barbecue,” “skewers,” “curry,” and “cocktails.”

In his opinion, the main reason why this store is so popular is that it is economical. In a place like the court where every inch of land is valuable, it is truly a breath of fresh air to be able to keep the price of a roast chicken at 45 shells.

"Wait a minute, no one is trying to snatch it from you, it's already on the corner of your mouth."

"where?"

Jiu Yue's two hands were tripped by the Pipa Legs, so she put her mouth close to Duan Mingyuan and asked for help.

Duan Mingyuan used his index finger to help wipe the meat residue from the corner of her mouth. Before he could retract his finger, the little fox opened his mouth and put his index finger into his mouth, licking his index finger clean with his tongue.

Warm mouth, crisp and numbing feeling.

He tried to pull out his index finger several times, but Jiu Yue bit it gently with her teeth, and the part that was touched felt a little itchy.
