Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 143 A Name That Resonates Around the World

The lavish yet quiet Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One was filled with the stirring sounds of a glorious battle hymn.

"Fire is burning,

Casting a shadow,

People are watching,

Waiting for the fall,

...!"

In just the instant that the singing voice echoed in their ears, everyone in the hall, including ten maids, couldn't help but tremble.

Behind Chu Mo, Annie, with her blue and yellow shoulder-length hair, unconsciously widened her eyes.

As an exchange student from the Art Institute, she had an innate sensitivity to music. At this moment, as the song's echo lingered in her mind, she instantly focused her gaze on the breathtakingly beautiful girl opposite her,

The girl in front, who possessed a beauty that even she envied, had merely spoken a few words. Yet Annie could still clearly hear that the resonating song came from her lips.

The exquisite singing voice was like the sound of heaven, transporting listeners to the battlefield of Asuras. The girl's mastery of breath control, her understanding of the song's imagery, and her handling of various details were all top-notch.

Added to this, the girl's voice was kissed by God himself, captivating anyone in an instant with its enchanting power.

At this moment, Chu Mo, the only one seated on the sofa, subtly shifted his posture. He rubbed his left arm with his right hand, as the celestial singing voice gave him goosebumps.

As the scene shifted, the story moved forward, and Chu Mo's attention was caught by the woman in the scene, who looked like a Heavenly Immortal.

In reality, Ding Qian possessed a beauty that surpassed both the school belle Zhou Yuanyuan and the national goddess Sun Qing Ruo Xi.

She had a charm capable of causing anyone to fall at a glance, which is why, if Ding Qian ever went out, she would definitely wear sunglasses and a mask.

In the scene, enhanced by a top special effects company's work and rendering, Ding Qian's already stunning beauty was elevated even further...

Her flawless face was enough to bewitch anyone.

As if hearing Chu Mo's thoughts, the high aerial shot camera quickly spun, the angle zooming in rapidly, and in the silence of the entire world, the lens focused on her cheek.

His heartbeat stopped for a moment. Chu Mo unconsciously swallowed and then suddenly realized his lapse, straightening up immediately as his cheeks flushed with warmth.

He felt he had lost his composure, especially in front of the many maids and subordinates. However, his heart was still drawn to the Qing Guo Qing Cheng figure, and as Chu Mo's eyes widened, he once again focused on the scene in front of him, completely captivated.

The warrior with the Qing Cheng beauty walked forward, her flowing three thousand strands of hair defying nature's law as they billowed around her.

The scene portrayed a blood-drenched battlefield.

In a world where time and space had frozen, the glint of swords and the rain of arrows were suspended mid-flight.

The advancing warrior walked over mountains of swords and heaps of corpses. In such a bloody and cruel battlefield of Asuras, she shone like the only light of the human world, illuminating the entire battlefield.

In this hellish scene, the soul-stirring battle hymn began to rise once again.

"Whispers are creeping,

Under the gallows,

People are talking,

We could lose it all,

Tell them something is coming,

There's blood in the water,

...!"

In the hall, Annie suddenly felt her mouth dry. Because she was standing right behind the young master, she was one of the few who could appreciate the scene on the laptop.

She breathed a little faster.

Whether it was the warrior in the scene, who she envied, or the glory battle hymn that penetrated into her soul, all gave her an unreal feeling. She lightly pursed her lips and once again focused her gaze on the breathtaking beauty in the scene.

Even as a woman, Annie's heart was still drawn to the enchanting figure.

In the completely still world, the female warrior walked forward with a broken greatsword in hand.

Her gem-like radiant eyes scanned around, as if searching for something or confirming something. At this moment, the powerful warrior's gaze was curious and focused.

Surrounded by fierce warriors engaged in combat.

A soldier, pierced through the chest by a spear, was suspended in midair, his blood blossoming like splendid fireworks.

Two mighty men were grappling with each other, using teeth, using nails as deadly weapons, their bodies smeared with blood.

And in this endlessly collapsing world.

An enchanting figure...

Was quietly walking between heaven and earth.

...

In the hall, Ding Qian had stopped trembling. The thumping of her heart had settled down amidst the magical battle hymn. Images from the past month of filming flashed before her eyes at this moment.

As the only lead character in the film, the entire short film's story unfolded around her. As a first-time actress, the pressure was immense.

Many times, when the director demanded reshoots, and she still couldn't achieve the desired effect despite mentally preparing herself again and again, she doubted herself and even considered giving up. But each time she gritted her teeth and pushed through, every ordeal became a source of transformation for her spirit.

To this day, Ding Qian still vividly remembered walking through the shattered city gate, the pitch that poured down from the top of the city wall like a terrifying fire dragon roaring towards her.

She also remembered the scene beneath the city tower, where armored warriors blazed with fiery flames, and the scattering sparks hung in the air like fireflies!

And the air was filled with the scent of char.

At this moment, Ding Qian focused her gaze on the young man opposite her, seeing his concentrated and serious expression, his whole body as if holding his breath, the concern in her heart gradually subsided, and just then, the mournful battle song rose again in her ears.

"Give them a warning,"

"Let it all come crashing down,"

"Burn the castle to the ground,"

"Hang the lies, no disguise,"

"It's our time,"

"...!"

Chu Mo's heart and soul was entirely captivated by the devastatingly beautiful warrior woman; even his usually calm and restrained self could not fully control his emotions at this moment.

In the lonely, ethereal music, the warrior woman with gem-like eyes showed a color of resignation, and when she gently lowered her head, her world-class beauty was marred with sadness.

Chu Mo's mood darkened as well at that moment, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on the screen, his handsome face touched with a trace of emotion.

However, before the repressed feelings in his heart could be released, the warrior woman in the picture had already shed her sorrow, becoming once again resolute and icy cold.

This was a world akin to a hell of carnage where sadness and sympathy were never allowed to linger overlong.

The scene shifted, and the warrior woman crossed through the city walls, facing a thick fog that suddenly appeared before her.

The entire city seemed to be engulfed by a sea of fire, with the flames coalescing into a gigantic fire dragon, mouth wide in a fierce challenge to the world.

The warrior woman who had finally halted her steps looked up.

In that instant, the originally serene and lonely vocal turned powerfully stirring.

In that moment, through the warrior woman's eyes, as starry and full of luster as the night sky, was reflected the sight of innumerable black-armored reinforcements charging out from the sea of fire.

The time for a counterattack had come.

"Pointing our arrows,"

"Fighting for glory,"

"Heat in the narrow,"

"We could lose it all,"

"...!"

In the thrilling battle song of glory, the warrior woman, who had been indifferent, finally displayed a look of relief.

The reinforcements had arrived, her mission was at last complete, and she, like a doll drained of strength, finally let out a quiet sigh.

A faint smile played across her lips, and a hint of a smile flickered across her dreamlike beauty.

But just as her smile blossomed like a flower, a tear streaked beneath those eyes as radiant as the Milky Way.

As the crystal-clear tear hit the ground, the world resumed its course, and the roars and despair once again filled her ears.

The scene suddenly dimmed from light to darkness.

The next moment, the screen lit up again, and a cold, long blade fell from the sky.

In the picture, the warrior woman, who barely had time to raise her sword, had no chance to resist, and she collapsed softly to the ground!

The heroic music abruptly stopped, and the notebook also fell into darkness again!

The short film came to an end.

Chu Mo let out a long breath at this moment, his heart still echoing with the just-ended scenes of iron and blood, his ears seemingly still able to hear the lingering, heavenly melodies.

He turned his gaze to the girl opposite him, who seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting, his eyes calm and warm.

"Hard work," he said softly.

The gentle word made the girl in front of him slightly dazed; the last taut nerve in her heart finally relaxed, and the toil and hardships of the past month seemed to have been rewarded by this short "Hard work."

The breathtakingly beautiful girl bowed slightly, her eyes pure and flawless, her voice melodious as she said,

"I will forever remember your cultivation in my heart."

Chu Mo moved his eyes away from the stunning girl, sitting up straight and adjusting his emotions in the span of a breath.

This short film had touched his spirit, and he imagined that ordinary viewers would likely be similarly engrossed.

He turned his gaze to Qin Zixuan at his side, and said with a serious look,

"Use all the resources of the company to promote the short film."

"Also, contact Shangyuan Entertainment to ask for their help in inviting the world's top directors and screenwriters to create a top-tier movie for Ding Qian, no matter the cost. I only care about the final result."

Qin Zixuan, the chairwoman of Shi Yuan Entertainment, nodded respectfully, her voice sweet as an orchid,

"Mr. Chu, I will arrange it right away."

The maid Annie behind him looked at the girl opposite with envy in her eyes.

With such a top magnate supporting her from behind, it wouldn't be long before the girl, who resembled a celestial being,

Her name would resound throughout the world.
