"Yan Ruyu, what are you zoning out for?" Ye Chen suddenly said.

"I, I, I wasn't doing anything!" Yan Ruyu snapped out of her daze, her tongue tying itself in her nervousness.

She was thinking about whether to strike up a conversation with Ye Chen and subtly probe whether he had any feelings for her when he suddenly called her name, making Yan Ruyu feel like her thoughts had been exposed, and she momentarily panicked.

"It's getting late, better go to rest. Tomorrow I'll take you guys out for some fun," Ye Chen told Yan Ruyu.

"Oh, got it," Yan Ruyu replied.

The next day.

Ye Chen took Liu Shihua and the others out for a trip to a scenic spot in the South Sea.

What does Huaxia have the most of? People!

The South Sea is a tourist hotspot. When Ye Chen took them to the scenic spot, he knew what it meant to see a sea of people, literally a mountain and sea of humanity!

"Damn, there are so many people. Are you sure you want to climb the mountain?" Ye Chen looked at the crowd covering the mountain and really felt powerless.

"As long as we climb this mountain, we'll have a panoramic view of the South Sea and experience its vastness!" Liu Shihua said. "Moreover, look at all these people climbing the mountain. This proves I'm right; everyone wants to climb the mountain to see the sea!"

The mountain in this scenic area is surrounded by sea on three sides. If you can make it to the top, you can look over the entire South Sea.

Therefore, the place attracts countless visitors every day, many of whom climb the mountain to gaze out at the sea and experience its vastness.

"But you guys are celebrities. There are so many people on the mountain. What if you're recognized?" Ye Chen said.

"I'm paying you a hundred thousand a month, and you think you can just stand around like an idiot?" Liu Shihua glared. "You're my ultimate bodyguard. You nearly turned the South Sea upside down; are you afraid of just these few tens of thousands of people?"

Hearing about the monthly hundred thousand, Ye Chen suddenly remembered he was Liu Shihua's personal bodyguard.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go!" Liu Shihua grabbed Ye Chen's arm and dragged him away to start climbing the mountain.

The goddesses were all Grandmaster-level fighters; they could run dozens of miles without barely breaking a sweat, so climbing a mountain was a piece of cake to them.

However, halfway up the mountain, Ye Chen was abandoned by the goddesses.

At first, Liu Shihua was holding Ye Chen's hand, bouncing along joyfully, her face brimming with happiness.

But after they climbed a few hundred steps and reached a large platform, they saw a Taoist performing with a monkey.

And then, Ye Chen was abandoned by the goddesses; they all went to watch the monkey show.

After that, Ye Chen saw one street performer after another: one breaking rocks with their chest, a beauty balancing a huge jar, an old lady chopping bricks with her hand, and even a three-year-old child knocking down twenty strong men with his bare hands...

These street performers weren't having an easy time. Ye Chen saw their hardship and dedication, and instead of inviting them to a meal, he quietly tossed the spare change in his hand into their bowls.

Although they hadn't reached the mountain top, the journey was filled with so many interesting things that it kept the goddesses amazed all the way.

They gathered together, as if they had endless topics to discuss, talking about anything and everything—Ye Chen couldn't get a word in edgewise.

In the end, Ye Chen followed behind the goddesses with a pitiful look. He suspected that the goddesses had completely forgotten about him!

"Yan Ruyu, did you see that just now? That old lady must have been eighty at least. She broke a brick with one chop of her hand, and there was no sign of True Qi on her. How could she be that powerful? I even gave her a hundred bucks on impulse!" Liu Shihua was still in amazement at the old lady chopping bricks.

Ye Chen was speechless when he heard this. Could the goddess really be that clueless? Didn't she see that the old lady was chopping at Styrofoam bricks?

When the old woman was performing the brick-splitting act, hundreds of people gathered to watch. In the end, the foam bricks were all smashed and the foam bits were drifting away, and everyone knew that the old lady was just putting on a sham show for entertainment.

But then, Liu Shihua stepped forward and gave the old woman one hundred yuan, which left hundreds of spectators dumbfounded.

Liu Shihua's act of tipping like that showed the tourists what "wealthy tycoon" really means, and that having money means you do what you want!

Ye Chen, witnessing that scene, began to admire, thinking Liu Shihua truly deserved her goddess status; even the brick-splitting granny didn't need to worry about her scam act losing money anymore.

"That old lady's skills were so-so, but it was that three-year-old kid who was the most impressive, beating twenty burly men all by himself, leaving them all on the ground, wincing in pain. I think that three-year-old is super fierce, even Ye Chen wasn't that tough as a kid!" Yan Ruyu said.

"..."

Ye Chen felt a tightness in his chest, concerned about the goddess's intelligence.

A three-year-old beating twenty buff men was obviously just a show, and the overacting was through the roof!

Such a ruckus halfway up the mountain was probably just to attract attention and lure tourists to climb up!

But such a lowly trick, and Yan Ruyu completely failed to see it, which left Ye Chen at a loss for words.

These women, each with brains like they'd been run over by a tractor, were not only part of the entertainment industry, but also starred in films that broke one billion at the box office, and won best actress awards in TV dramas?

Thinking about it, Ye Chen felt incredulously drunk.

"Ah, my phone dropped!" Yan Ruyu said while using her phone to take pictures; it slipped from her hand and crashed to the ground.

Then, Yan Ruyu bent down to pick up her phone, her scarf falling to the ground. Whether by coincidence or not, a passerby happened to step on the scarf just as Yan Ruyu straightened up. With her scarf falling away, her waist-length hair and that stunningly beautiful face were revealed.

"Oh no, Yan Ruyu, you've been exposed!" Liu Shihua exclaimed in shock.

They had only disguised themselves simply before going out, and Yan Ruyu's outfit was even simpler; she didn't even wear sunglasses, just a scarf over her face.

But now, with her scarf on the ground, her true face was revealed.

If it were an ordinary person, it definitely wouldn't have mattered, but Yan Ruyu was a celebrity, and an explosively popular one in recent years at that!

"Yan Ruyu?"

Liu Shihua's exclamation was heard by passing tourists who immediately started gazing intensely at Yan Ruyu.

"Damn, Yan Ruyu is here on vacation!" Someone saw Yan Ruyu and couldn't believe it.

"Yan Ruyu? Where? Long hair down to her waist and drop-dead gorgeous, damn, it really is Yan Ruyu!" Somebody else shouted.

"Where's the songstress, she's my goddess! Everyone, make way, I need to see where my goddess is, I want to take a photo with her and get an autograph!" Someone overheard that Yan Ruyu was there and ran from afar to get her autograph.

"Goddess, we see your long hair down to your waist, don't run away!"

After Yan Ruyu was exposed, it instantly caused a sensation, with half the mountainside's people converging there.

Yan Ruyu was the new screen songstress, the most sought-after female star who had become the new generation's singing goddess, idolized by countless people.

Moreover, Yan Ruyu had frequently made public appearances in recent years and had been on many hit variety shows, so her fame was high, and she was easily recognizable!

A beauty like jade, with long hair down to her waist, this was the new generation songstress, Yan Ruyu!

The mountain was teeming with people; while not exactly shoulder to shoulder, it was still quite packed. When Yan Ruyu suddenly revealed herself, a massive commotion broke out within the crowd.
