Chapter 97: Eastern Angel

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Yun Xiangxiang thought that she died countless times after half an hour. She lay on top of the yoga mat like a clump of mud, her body still trembling lightly.

She couldn’t even move a finger, and her brain had become mush. She didn’t know what she should do. .It was as if her body wasn’t hers to control.

Song Qian didn’t go and move her either. Instead, she sat down beside her, “This branch of Jiu Jitsu was passed on since the Warring States Period [1]. It later came into the possession of the Song Family. Our ancestors improved it by fusing it with the joints and acupoints of the human body, which reduces the damage on the body immensely. But it is very harsh on the stretching of the tendons. It’s best practiced from six years old.”

Yun Xiangxiang lay on the ground like a fish that was mercilessly abandoned by the ocean. Tears still clung to the corner of her eyes. She didn’t want to say a word; nor did she have the strength to.

“You dipped in the aromatic bath prepared by the young master first. Then you are treated by this skin moisturizing salve. Your suffering is reduced by two thirds than those who learn normally.

Song Qian could do little but comfort Yun Xiangxiang. The aromatic bath and skin moisturizing salve the young master asked to prepare had already taken a huge toll on human resources, finance, and logistics.

Even Song Qian would lecture Yun Xiangxiang if she quit halfway through.

She wouldn’t quit halfway through. But Yun Xiangxiang really needed to recover. The agony was more than what she could take.

Song Qian helped Yun Xiangxiang up and had her lay on the bed after fifteen minutes. She took a refreshing and fragrant snowy salve to massage her back and acupoints.

She was finally delivered from pain. Her limbs recovered their strength too.

“Sleep well. You will be alright after waking up tomorrow morning,” Song Qian left the room after switching off the lights.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t even want to turn her body over. She thought that her bones would all fall apart if she did. She slept through the night on her belly.

She thought she wouldn’t be able to wake up the next day. Even if she did, her whole body would feel awful and listless. But she didn’t feel any discomfort aside from a slight sore when she woke up. Her mind felt sharp; her spirit was energetic.

Yun Xiangxiang glanced at the alarm clock that showed six o’clock when she sat up on her bed. She didn’t feel uncomfortable during her morning workout; it only didn’t feel as light as it was.

Except for the half hour of intense pain at night that made her wish she was dead, Yun Xiangxiang’s daily life wasn’t affected. She grinned and bore with it. Gradually, she got used to the pain.

Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t sure whether she really adapted to it, or if the pain really subsided after the first few days of suffering. At any rate, she didn’t scream like a wailing pig anymore.

“Don’t jog or work out tomorrow morning after you wake up. We’ll practice Tai Chi,” Song Qian told her after the massage session today. “I have already placed your training uniform at the end of your bed.”

“Why do I have to practice Tai Chi?” Yun Xiangxiang only asked that after she got out of bed the next day.

“Do you want to be a beauty that is only flexible?” Song Qian retorted.

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head.

“This set of Jiu Jitsu is only beneficial to your body. It doesn’t increase your strength. Whereas the gentle strength in Tai Chi makes it the supplest martial art in the world. Both can complement each other.”

“I didn’t really master it either. But it’s not a problem if it’s just laying down the foundation for you. I’ll ask the young master to send someone to teach you in depth when you can get past me.”

“So you wanted me to learn the gentle strength of Tai Chi all along,” No wonder Song Qian kept training her flexibility before she even said she wanted to train in Jiu Jitsu.

“This is a martial art that suits women the most,” It wouldn’t cause bulking. Nor would it cause calluses to form.

One could also conquer strength with suppleness if one mastered it. It would be even more awesome than any rigid martial art if it was used. But it would take twenty to thirty years to reach that level.

Song Qian didn’t expect Yun Xiangxiang to master too much. She only wanted to handle filming.

But Yun Xiangxiang believed that it was always better to have more skills. She persevered in whatever she was learning. She could even resolve herself to train in Jiu Jitsu, which was unbearably painful. Tai Chi wouldn’t be a problem. It felt squishy and wasn’t unpleasant during training.

Yun Xiangxiang even discovered that her training in Jiu Jitsu got even smoother after she started training in Tai Chi. She didn’t dare to slack off and doubled her efforts after that. Of course, this would be another story.

MonRoe’s official website in China finally revealed Yun Xiangxiang’s identity as its global ambassador on Friday. This little update invited ferocious feedback. The whole entertainment industry was whipped into a frenzy.

MonRoe’s jewelry series never had any global ambassadors, let alone someone from China being its first!

[Hahahaha, firsthand information. I bypassed the firewall to look at the photos on MonRoe’s international official website.]

[Ah… So unbelievably pretty. I always knew that the goddess was gorgeous. But I didn’t expect her to be this dangerously gorgeous.]

[Oh my god. All of these promotional pictures actually have a different feel to them]

[Too exquisite. There’s a dreamy one; a lofty one; an arrogant one; an enchanting one…]

Yun Xiangxiang’s promotional photos were first revealed on the official websites of foreign countries. Fashion streets of big nations, plazas, even airports. Yun Xiangxiang’s photo was present anywhere MonRoe had its shop.

She appeared in the photos of a total of six sets of the Angel series jewelry.

She was astrally enchanting, holy, and pure in the golden and white photo.

Her eyes were sharp, deep, and aloof in the one that was black and white.

She was veiled by a thin silk in the purple and white photo. Mysterious and arcane.

The blue and white photo displayed gentleness and obedience; it was unrestricted and lively.

The sexy, glimmering smile in the red and white picture was enchantingly hypnotic.

The horrifyingly enigmatic gaze in the green and white photograph looked like it was hope and the abyss at the same time…

All the outfits chosen in every promotional photo were without complicated patterns. They were dresses that had simple and elegant styles. They complemented the luxuriousness and the dazzle of the jewelry.

When Yun Xiangxiang’s ever changing quality was added, it was as if one was watching an epic about an ever changing succubus just by looking through the promotional photos. The advertisement Yun Xiangxiang appeared in was only exclusive to foreign websites. That made the crowd bypass the firewall.

It didn’t take long before #EverChangingYunXiangxiang# appeared in trending on Weibo.

It was the second time Yun Xiangxiang shot up to the top of trending on Weibo all by herself.

Naturally, this wave of promotional photos did not just shake China up. There were a lot of foreign media, even foreign magazines making appointments with He Wei. They wanted to interview Yun Xiangxiang. However, He Wei didn’t agree to any of them. He kept Yun Xiangxiang’s sense of mystery even more that way.

Ann, a well known aesthetician from USA even published a dissertation from the viewpoint of aestheticism. She praised this set of promotional photos, and even gave Yun Xiangxiang the name “Eastern Angel.” She had a nickname in foreign countries from then on.

Xue Yu posted a Weibo status at this moment.

[Xue Yu V: The ever changing angel transforms into the black swan. She gives her maiden singing performance to me and my fans @Actor Yun Xiangxiang]

Another bombshell!

Xue Yu had already announced that there would be a secret guest appearing in a duet with him during his concert earlier. Everyone thought that it would be a singer. They only knew it was Yun Xiangxiang at this moment.

Everyone still had great faith in Xue Yu’s singing prowess. Seemed like he was fully confident about Yun Xiangxiang if he could announce it this early. This only made more people anticipate it.

Everyone who bought the ticket thought it was worth it!
