When Lin Mu Ci opened her eyes again, she even felt a sense of daze.
This time, traveling to another world was completely beyond her expectations, but it also answered many questions in her heart, including why she had to complete so many tasks and what the ultimate goal was. She had figured it all out.
And then, she heard a familiar light chuckle.
“Still not snapped out of it?”
“Actually, when we returned, the timeline wouldn’t change, so it’s still our wedding night.”
Lin Mu Ci immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words.
He still wanted…
to do it again.
She glanced up at Ling Qian He, but his face was simply too handsome, and she couldn’t get angry looking at him. She could only softly beg for mercy, and her voice, when she spoke, was so alluring that she herself was startled.
“What else do you want to do?”
“On the spaceship… wasn’t the spaceship enough?”
Ling Qian He shook his head.
His fingertips slowly caressed her rosy lips. Lin Mu Ci’s eyes widened, startled by his action. Then Lin Mu Ci heard the man in front of her speak.
“Naturally, it wasn’t enough.”
“Wedding night… no matter how many times it happens, it’s never enough.”
“Besides, the female beast’s body is too weak, and I was too strong in outer space. I was worried about making you cry, so I held back some of my strength.”
Lin Mu Ci bit her lip, her teeth seeming to touch his scorching fingertips.
“Where did you hold back any strength?”
Ling Qian He laughed.
“Try again now, and you’ll know?”
…
The result ended with Lin Mu Ci’s tearful pleas for mercy.
The next day, her throat was hoarse, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. When the phone rang, she had to exert great effort to get up and answer it. Her voice was weak and hoarse, with a hint of crying.
“Who?”
The girl on the other end of the phone sounded extremely excited.
“Director Wu Min Long’s ‘Interstellar Series’ is going to have a new installment… It’s rumored that the next one will unfold a vast cosmic background. Blue Star will be integrated into the Human Federation. Xiao Ci, I’ve read the script, and it’s written to be incredibly thrilling. We have to fight our way out of the ruins of humanity!”
“We also have to establish our own forces, and the glory of the Hua Clan will shine throughout the universe…”
“Hey? Xiao Ci, are you listening to what I’m saying?” Da Feng Novel Network
“With such great plot, why aren’t you even a little excited?”
Lin Mu Ci was still completely drained of energy. Her voice was weak, very, very soft.
“I heard what you said.”
“The plot is very good.”
“It’s just…”
She paused and said softly.
“I’m very tired right now… Let’s talk about it after I get back to the company and start working.”
The person on the other end was Yang Wei Yang. Upon hearing Lin Mu Ci’s words, she immediately realized that calling her on the day after her wedding was extremely presumptuous. Yang Wei Yang chuckled.
“I understand, I understand, Brother Qian He looks very capable!”
She sounded exceptionally considerate on the phone.
“Then you rest well, okay?”
After hanging up, Lin Mu Ci felt a headache coming on.
It had taken her quite some effort to sort out everything in this world. To be honest, she was almost forgetting her progress in this world.
She had filmed several movies, they were box office hits, she had won Best Actress awards, and her global recognition had already surpassed fifty percent… However, reaching one hundred percent recognition, turning this world into her original world, was difficult.
After all, no matter how powerful a star was, their recognition had limits.
But…
When Lin Mu Ci’s phone chimed again, she blinked slightly. She opened her phone and received a new email.
“The script has been revised. Do you have time to take a look at the new script?”
“Wu Min Long.”
Lin Mu Ci was momentarily stunned.
In the past, she might have simply thought it was a coincidence. But now, it seemed this might be connected to the interstellar matters, a so-called butterfly effect.
Blue Star was independent and had no connection to the Interstellar Federation.
But perhaps… things were about to change.
She replied with an “Okay.”
Then, she lazily climbed out of bed and casually threw on a white shirt.
Looking in the mirror on the dressing table at her own flushed face, Lin Mu Ci couldn’t help but bite her lip, silently cursing Ling Qian He as a scoundrel in her heart.
He was truly unapologetic. What, just because she wasn’t a female beast, he could be so fierce?
He could watch her cry and beg for mercy?
Had he forgotten his behavior when he thought he was about to lose her!
Lin Mu Ci was still angry, and the man had disappeared somewhere. Thinking about this, Lin Mu Ci felt even more furious!
Ling Qian He was indeed a big pig’s trotter!
Ling Qian He was a bastard!
Wuwuwu!
How infuriating! She wished she could bite him. When the phone rang again, she was still sulking, thinking it was Ling Qian He.
But upon seeing the phone number, it was unfamiliar.
She answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Miss Lin Mu Ci. I am the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Qs Magazine. We would like to invite you for an exclusive interview and feature you on our October cover. Mr. Wu Min Long mentioned that your subsequent work is fully booked, but we still wanted to try.”
She replied that she would consider it.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang again.
“Hello, is this Lin Mu Ci?”
“We are from the National Security Department… You don’t need to be nervous. It’s like this, we recently have a legal popularization campaign and would like to invite you to be our ambassador…”
She accepted this kind of invitation.
Then, the phone continued to ring incessantly. These people completely disregarded that she was a newlywed. Her work was already scheduled a year in advance. She rubbed her temples, finally managing to sort through this multitude of tasks.
Then she saw Ling Qian He push the door open and walk in.
“Are you tired?”
“Let’s go have dinner.”
After he returned, his entire demeanor… had changed again.
If she had to describe it, the previous Ling Qian He was cool and handsome. But now, his domineering aura was completely uncontainable. Standing there, it was easy to inspire a sense of submission. Ordinary people absolutely couldn’t suppress his unsheathed sharpness.
Lin Mu Ci looked at him with a headache. She asked him.
“Us…”
“Is it too late to go back to the Interstellar Federation now?”
“I still feel like it was easier to be a female beast than a celebrity.”
Ling Qian He smiled.
His eyes twinkled as he smiled, his cold aura fading. He reached out and took her arm, saying.
“We’ll resolve things here soon.”
Lin Mu Ci turned to look at him. He led Lin Mu Ci outside.
“You should have already heard the news about the continuation of Wu Min Long’s Interstellar Series?”
“The script has been revised. The subsequent plot will all be related to the Interstellar Federation.”
Lin Mu Ci was a little dazed but suddenly had an epiphany.
“Wait a minute—speaking of which…”
“Is the barrier of Blue Star about to be broken?”
Ling Qian He let out a hum. This should have been incredibly shocking news.
But in his eyes, it seemed to be of no consequence. He turned his head to look at Lin Mu Ci with perfect calmness, and then Lin Mu Ci heard him say.
“You are to be the guardian of Blue Star.”
…
What it meant to go from a celebrity to a planet guardian was something Lin Mu Ci had never considered before.
She felt a sense of being pushed onto the stage, a little flustered.
“What do I need to do?”
This was the question running through her mind, while Ling Qian He looked at Lin Mu Ci and said.
“Blue Star is not the only one—in different parallel universes, there may be countless Blue Stars, but this Blue Star has meaning because of your existence.”
“This is the planet you need to protect.”
“On this Blue Star, you are a movie star. In the Blue Star of the Interstellar Age, you are a female scientist, a flame of hope, a radiance that can illuminate the entire universe.”
Lin Mu Ci stared blankly into his eyes.
He leaned closer and kissed her on the forehead.
“If you ask what you must do.”
“Be yourself.”
Be… herself?
Then the thing she wanted to do most was to complete the mission.
Because if she failed, humanity might perish.
Ling Qian He turned his head to look at her delicate face. The girl seemed to be deep in thought. She said.
“I want to hear what the main system has to say.”
“He should still have a trace of consciousness left in this world, right?”
