This was the central area of Continent F. Chinese discrimination was very serious. Furthermore, in the current war, most of the Chinese who could escape had fled.

Xia Yu hurriedly walked over. Fortunately, he had learned some local language from the people here some time ago.

In the end, Xia Yu exchanged some bread for news from the black boy.

According to the black boy’s description, a very fair and thin black-haired girl was almost as tall as his shoulder. That must be Lin Yi. 

The little boy said that Lin Yi was last seen under a hotel in the next block.

After knowing the exact location, Xia Yu was not as anxious as before.

He first went to buy a few bread, then bought a set of local clothes and hat. He dressed himself up again and returned to the stone.

Seeing the figure walking over, Stone’s face was filled with vigilance until the person opposite called out, “Stone.”

Only then did Stone let down his guard. He carefully looked at the beautiful sister in front of him in a red dress and did not dare to acknowledge her. “Brother Xia Yu?”

“Aiya, it’s me.” Xia Yu pulled off the veil on his face and handed the sesame seed pancake to Stone. “I’ll investigate the situation. Wait for me obediently in this place. Don’t let anyone discover you, okay?”

Stone looked at Xia Yu’s outfit in a daze and reached out to take the sesame seed pancake. “Okay, I’ll wait for Brother Xia Yu to come back.”

“Mm, good boy.” Xia Yu ate a mouthful of sesame seed pancake himself and drank from the water in the small river beside him. After filling his stomach, he tied a knife to his leg and covered it with a veil. “I’m leaving.”

“Okay.” Stone carried the remaining sesame seed pancakes and ran to hide in a small hole hidden by the weeds.

Xia Yu carried a pile of weeds over and covered the hole, then wiped away the traces of human activity on the ground before getting up and walking towards the hotel.

The hotel the little boy mentioned was the largest hotel in the area. There were many people coming and going.

Xia Yu was wearing a red dress and covered his face with a white veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

Eastern men were gentler than Western men to begin with. In addition, Xia Yu was delicate to begin with. It was not strange for him to dress up as a woman among the tall people of Continent F.

“Check her. What are you doing?” It had been chaotic recently, and there were people stationed at the entrance of the hotel to check.

It was rare to see such a beautiful woman. The eyes of the person in charge of checking on her lit up.

Xia Yu pointed at his mouth and drew a cross.

The guard shook his head regretfully. “She’s a mute. Alright, go in.”

To people who were checked all year round, the more inconspicuous a person was, the more they had to pay attention to them.

As inconspicuous people were often here to investigate.

There was rarely a problem with such a beautiful and ostentatious woman like her.

After all, it was too eye-catching, and people who were too eye-catching could not be spies.

Xia Yu nodded at the guard and walked in.

He covered his veil and walked like a girl. No one noticed anything strange along the way.

After successfully walking through the lobby on the first floor, Xia Yu went up from the elevator and carefully observed his surroundings.

The person in the elevator with him was tall and strong. Seeing that this person’s gaze was on him, Xia Yu glanced at him.

At a glance, he realized that there was a badge on this person’s waist. The style of the badge was the same as the badge that had fallen from Lin Yi and the others.

Xia Yu’s eyes flickered. He pulled down the veil a little, revealing his exquisite side profile.

When Xia Yu had just bought clothes, he had specially asked the lady boss beside him to help him put on light makeup. With such makeup on his exquisite face, he was almost indistinguishable between male and female.

Seeing Xia Yu’s beautiful face, the man’s expression changed.

In their line of work, they did not care about etiquette or shame. If they liked someone, they would snatch them away.

Just then, the elevator arrived. The man reached out and grabbed Xia Yu’s wrist, pulling him out of the elevator.

Xia Yu struggled for a while, and tears seemed to flash in his eyes. The man was even more excited. He almost dragged Xia Yu in the direction of his residence.

Just as they turned a corner, the man pulled Xia Yu back and hid in the safe passage. He covered his mouth and did not let him move.

Two seconds later, the leader passed by the corner with a group of people. Through the gap in the door, Xia Yu saw that Lin Yi was in the group.

She looked to be in good condition. She should have received special treatment because of her medical skills. Xia Yu was slightly relieved.

Lin Yi followed the leader. From the words that the leader occasionally said, Lin Yi could tell that this team was about to leave.

The next place they went was the center of the war.

That was the most dangerous place and also the place where one could obtain huge wealth.

Lin Yi was not afraid of death, but this group of people was cruel and unscrupulous. Lin Yi did not want to be with them, but she could not escape.

After the leader left with his people, the person behind Xia Yu let go of his mouth. His hand slid down, wanting to undo Xia Yu’s clothes.

Xia Yu’s eyes turned cold. Suddenly, he struck the man’s neck with his hand.

The muscular man did not expect this at all. He fainted on the ground.

Just in case, Xia Yu took out a knife and slit his neck, then carried him to the storage room below.

Xia Yu looked at the time. It was already evening. He took off the man’s badge, clothes, and pass and changed into himself, then quietly sneaked into the hotel.

At night, the leader and his team members gathered for dinner. Seeing that there were a few people missing, the leader did not care much and only frowned.

This group of brats went to every relaxing place to mess around. Aren’t they afraid of getting sick? 

Everyone was about to rush to the tense war zone, so they drank the last glass of wine before leaving.

As people who lived with their heads on their belts, they did not know if they would still be alive to drink wine in the next meal.

They naturally had to drink more while they could.

After the meal, his subordinates drank more. The leader also drank a lot and was quite drunk.

Thinking of where they were going, even the leader, who was used to living a bloody life, could not help but panic.

To these rough people, when they were flustered, they wanted to find something to make up for the panic in their hearts.

The leader subconsciously looked around. In the end, his gaze landed on Lin Yi, who was eating in the corner.

Lin Yi was eating when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. She turned around warily and saw the leader’s strange gaze.

Lin Yi stood up and quickly ran out.

However, in the end, she could not defeat the strong and well-trained leader.

“Let go of me!” Lin Yi struggled desperately and even took out a scalpel to stab the leader.

However, it was all useless.

The leader grabbed Lin Yi’s collar and walked into the bedroom as if he was carrying a chick.

“I’m a doctor. Don’t you need my treatment anymore?!” Lin Yi still wanted to struggle.

The leader tore open Lin Yi’s clothes. “We won’t need you anymore. We don’t need a doctor in that place.”

A place where risking lives meant being dead, doctors were useless to them.

Struggling was futile. Feeling her clothes being torn, Lin Yi clenched her fists.

She would not commit suicide. She was used to seeing life and death and knew how precious life was.

However, she swore that she would make these people pay in her lifetime.

Sensing that the leader was about to tear her pants, Lin Yi closed her eyes tightly. She had bitten through the soft flesh in her mouth, and the taste of rust spread in her mouth.

However, what she had expected did not come. After a loud bang, the weight on her disappeared.

Lin Yi opened her eyes slightly and saw a familiar face. “Xia Yu!”

Xia Yu gasped. He had hit this leader too hard just now and had affected the wound on his back. He raised an eyebrow at Lin Yi. “You have to bandage my wound again later.”

“I…” Lin Yi wanted to say something, but then she suddenly realized something. She looked down. Her clothes had been torn into pieces, and a large area of her body was exposed.

Lin Yi’s face quickly flushed red. At that moment, a piece of clothing was thrown at her.

Lin Yi watched in a daze as Xia Yu took off his clothes and wore a bright red dress inside.

Xia Yu blinked at Lin Yi. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and change your clothes. Isn’t my female outfit because of you?”

Seeing Xia Yu wearing a dress and makeup, Lin Yi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She picked up the clothes in her arms and quickly put them on, then walked to Xia Yu’s side. “Let’s go.”

Fortunately, tonight was a carnival day. The people in this team were basically very drunk. Xia Yu and Lin Yi sneaked into the underground garage through the safe passage and secretly left the hotel.

After some time, the two of them finally arrived outside the city. This place was very close to where Stone was hiding, and this was considered a relatively safe area.

Xia Yu finally relaxed a little. He wiped the sweat off his face.

“Is your wound open?” Lin Yi looked at Xia Yu’s back worriedly.

“I can still hold on. Let’s go find Stone first.” With that, Xia Yu pulled Lin Yi’s wrist and walked southeast. “Follow me closely. There’s quicksand here. Be careful.”

“Mm.” Lin Yi’s gaze landed on Xia Yu’s hand.

Xia Yu’s palm was very hot, as if he had transferred all the heat to her.

Lin Yi touched her heart. It seemed to be beating a little fast.

——

It was early in the morning in Beijing.

The sky was still dark, and everyone in the bedroom was sleeping.

The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Jun Shiling suddenly opened his eyes and took a look at the phone. A hint of joy flashed across his eyes.

“We received a message from Xia Yu. We’re doing our best to save him.”

Xia Wanyuan was very sensitive. Under the light of the phone, Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes slightly and leaned into Jun Shiling’s arms. “What are you looking at?”

Jun Shiling switched off his phone and hugged Xia Wanyuan tightly, his tone clearly happy. “Nothing.”

Xia Wanyuan was half-asleep. “You cheated?”

“…” Jun Shiling reached out and pinched Xia Wanyuan’s waist. “I think you don’t want to sleep anymore.”

Xia Wanyuan was tickled and could not help but laugh. “Then what are you looking at? You’re so sneaky. Why aren’t you telling me?”

Xia Yu had not been saved back to China. Jun Shiling did not want Xia Wanyuan to worry for nothing and did not want to tell her this news for the time being.

Jun Shiling lowered his head and whispered a few words into Xia Wanyuan’s ear. Xia Wanyuan was instantly embarrassed and angry. “Liar, stop it.”

Jun Shiling smiled. “Mm, we can try and see if I’m lying.”

With that, Jun Shiling turned around and pressed her under him.

Before Jun Shiling could do anything, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

“…” At this time, other than that milk dumpling, there was no one else who dared to knock on the master bedroom door.

Jun Shiling got up with a dark expression and opened the bedroom door.

Xiao Bao walked in pitifully, his eyes red. He ignored Jun Shiling and walked straight to Xia Wanyuan. He climbed onto the bed and slept in Jun Shiling’s position.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Wanyuan stroked Xiao Bao’s head. It was furry and felt good. Xia Wanyuan could not help but scratch it twice.

“Mommy, I dreamed that Daddy hit me.” Xiao Bao was so pitiful. He wrinkled his nose and his eyes were red. “He was fierce to me and said that he wouldn’t give me food.”

“…” Jun Shiling tightened his grip on the door handle. He did not know if he had hit anyone in his dream, but he really wanted to hit someone now.

Xia Wanyuan pulled Xiao Bao into her arms and glanced at Jun Shiling with a smile in her eyes. “Mm, your father is a bad person. Let’s sleep and ignore him.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bao’s voice was childish as he wrapped his hands and feet around Xia Wanyuan. Smelling the fragrance on Xia Wanyuan, Xiao Bao closed his eyes in satisfaction.

Mommy is still the best!! I love Mommy the most in the world! 

Jun Shiling stood at the door and looked at the mother and son on the bed who had already fallen asleep peacefully. His seat was also occupied by that brat.

He could only take his clothes downstairs. Uncle Wang was a little puzzled to see Jun Shiling wake up so early. “Young Master, why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

“I’m not sleeping anymore.” Jun Shiling did not look good.

Uncle Wang looked at Jun Shiling thoughtfully.

Hence, two hours later.

When Xia Wanyuan had already finished eating and went upstairs to change her clothes, Jun Shiling was about to pack up and go to work when Uncle Wang mysteriously brought two plates over.

“Young Master, this is specially added for you. Eat these first before leaving.”

Jun Shiling turned around and took a look.

One of the plates was filled with oysters, and the other was filled with a bowl of soup. The smell was strange.

Jun Shiling looked at Uncle Wang with a deep gaze. Although Wang Bo was a little embarrassed, for Jun Shiling’s health, he still went all out. “Young Master, don’t be afraid of medicine.”

“…” Jun Shiling took a deep breath. “Throw it away.”

Seeing that soup, Jun Shiling wanted to beat Xiao Bao up even more.

At this moment, Xiao Bao still did not know that Jun Shiling had already canceled his milk candy supply for the next three months.

——

On this day, Xia Wanyuan was much busier than usual.

Other than attending classes at Qing University and helping review the post-production of “Eldest Princess”, she also had to record programs at the official television station.

She had been busy with other things recently and did not have time to prepare the lesson materials.

During the period after class, Xia Wanyuan asked the students to write down the representative activities of their hometowns. Then, she randomly picked one and drew the lantern festival.

Xia Wanyuan decided to talk about it tonight.

Regarding this, Xia Wanyuan did not need any lesson materials at all. It was basically something at her fingertips.

After all, in his previous life, there were especially few entertainment activities. Every year, the Lantern Festival could be said to be the most popular activity on Chang’an Street.

Although there was a rule in the palace that she could not go out, as a princess, she could not go to the commoners casually.

However, she could not help but be doted on by her parents. Every time the Lantern Festival was held, Xia Wanyuan would happily attend and play until late at night before returning to the palace.

Those lanterns had been played by Xia Wanyuan.

Hence, when they recorded the program that night, Xia Wanyuan did not prepare any lesson materials at all.

The television station had prepared a backdrop for her.

Standing in such a background, Xia Wanyuan talked about the types of lanterns, the shape of the lanterns, and all sorts of lantern riddles. It was extremely exciting.

Countless viewers sat in front of the television and wished they could celebrate the Lantern Festival immediately. The lanterns on a certain treasure quickly turned around in this season that should have been ignored, and the sales soared.

The popular science videos placed on the Internet no longer needed Xia Wanyuan to make them herself.

While she was recording the show, someone from Chen Yun’s side had already attached an eagle text screen to the show in real time and posted it on the Internet.

It had to be said that some things were really so coincidental.

On the day this popular science video was uploaded, the Han Country happened to push the topic “Lotus Lantern Festival Application for World Heritage” to the trending list on the Internet.

The Lotus Lantern Festival in Han Country was held on the 25th of October every year in the Tibetan calendar. In order to commemorate the birthday of the Buddha, on this day, the traditional custom of Han Country was to light lamps at home.

In recent years, the actions of the Han Country had become more and more frequent. Just a while ago, the Han Country’s officials had announced the Lotus Lantern Festival to the International Association as their cultural heritage.

In the past two days, there had been news from the international community that the Lotus Lantern Festival in Han Country had reached the last step and was about to succeed.

At this moment, the Han people were extremely excited. Although they had not officially applied, they had already begun an early celebration.

However, Xia Wanyuan’s video made everyone very embarrassed.

Now, Xia Wanyuan had more than five million fans on the Internet, including a large number of foreigners.

They looked at Xia Wanyuan’s video and then at the topic of Lotus Lantern Festival in Han Country.

[What do you mean? Xia Wanyuan said that the Lantern Festival originated in China. Why did Country Han say that it originated from them and even applied to become a cultural heritage? Is Xia Wanyuan lying?]

[ The person in front, I’ll just say this. They haven’t applied successfully. Can you not talk nonsense? Are you joking about Xia Wanyuan lying? She’s a professional professor, okay? I wonder who’s lying. ]

The people of Han Country had only been happy for a few minutes when they were agitated by Xia Wanyuan’s popular science videos.

They did not care about anything else and began to crazily insult and attack Xia Wanyuan under the video.

Chen Yun was in charge of Xia Wanyuan’s account. He was so angry by these comments that he almost exploded on the spot.

“These thieves are still so arrogant when they stole our things!!” Chen Yun guided the technicians. “Hurry up and make a few videos about lanterns. They have to be the kind that can ruthlessly press those ugly lamps on the ground.”

The staff also did not like those Han people. After receiving instructions, everyone began to work overtime to make videos.

There were too many lantern ceremonies in China, and among these lantern ceremonies, the Sichuan Lantern Festival was especially famous.

The staff prepared to do a collection of the tribute lantern festival.

Before the video could be made, the Sichuan officials came looking for him.

Ever since Xia Wanyuan’s show began, the official phone had not stopped ringing.

The local tourism management office’s phones were about to explode. The officials realized that this was a good publicity opportunity, so they took the initiative to send all sorts of publicity materials, photos, and videos over.

The official representative was very excited on the phone. “Sorry to trouble you. If you come to Sichuan to play this year, we’ll give you free food and accommodation. You can have fun.”

Dozens of gigabytes of video material were simply a huge treasure trove.

News in the tourist world was mutual. Just as Sichuan sent the information here, other places heard the news and came to look for them.

Those official representatives that he could only watch on television usually were now speaking to him politely. Chen Yun was a little flattered.

He accepted it without hesitation. “This is a good thing. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely publicize it for you.”

Coincidentally, Xi’an was a traditional style in the north. The Qinhuai Lantern Festival took the gentle and ancient style route, and the spiritual energy in the southwest gathered since the Tribute Lantern Festival.

Together, the three could almost cover all areas of China.

While the netizens of Country Han were jumping up and down to report the popular science video, the studio quietly edited the video.

The video was ten minutes long. In fact, it was already very long in the publicity video. However, the staff still hated that they could not put more excitement into the video.

Soon, the video was posted on Weibo and other accounts.

Many foreign netizens were watching the battle between Han Country and China. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had posted a video, they clicked on it curiously. Then, they could not come out.

What is this!!! 

Why can lights be made so beautiful!! 

The golden dragon stepped on the waves and smoked. The peacock was dazzling and the golden deer was lively. There were cocoon lamps, glass lamps, bamboo lamps, tie-dye lamps, tungsten lamps, silk lamps, and paper lamps.

The lights in the water, the lights on the mountains, the “birds” on the trees, the “frogs” in the lake, the character lights, the animal lights, the melon lights, the dramatic facial lights, the wooden dragon head carving lights… There were scenes in the lights, and there were lights in the scenes. The lake was bright and the mountains were beautiful. The pavilions were filled with water, and the lights blended together with a majestic aura.

What was even more amazing was that China’s lamps had introduced modern photoelectric technology on the basis of retaining their original characteristics. They melted “shape, color, light, movement, and sound”.

This was no longer just a certain technique.

Instead, it was a feast formed by aesthetics, culture, vision, and hearing. Behind this was more than five thousand years of culture. The soul-stirring feeling of walking out of the depths of history struck the hearts of the spectators.

The foreign netizens just did not know China’s culture, but that did not mean that they did not know how to appreciate it.

Compared to the glorious palaces in China, the ones in Han Country seemed very unpresentable.

The people Chen Yun had hired were all top editors in the world. Their standards were top-notch. The originally exquisite scene had been skillfully edited, making one’s heart surge.

Hence, this video had more views than any other video Xia Wanyuan had played on the Internet.

In fact, as the netizens continued to repost, it gradually spread out and quickly climbed to the first place in real time on the Internet.

This was a positive cycle. The higher the ranking, the more popular it was, and the higher the popularity, the higher the ranking.

In the end, the foreign website for this day was basically dominated by China’s lantern festival videos.

No matter how many Chinese netizens explained or how much official publicity they could not achieve,

This video did it.

China’s lights would become famous in one go. Even if the international community did not know what these things were called, they knew that there was something very beautiful in China.

There were all sorts of colorful colors shining. If there was a chance next time, they had to take a look.

The staff of the tourism management office were leisurely drinking tea when they suddenly realized that the number of tourists was rising.
