Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Qiao Liang frowned and gazed deeply at Tang Xi. It had been quite a while before he asked, “Can’t you just throw ‘that stuff’ away?”

He didn’t know what ‘that stuff’ was, but since it could bring her back to life and give her great power, it must be very powerful. However, the more powerful it was, the more dangerous it could be. He didn’t want to see Tang Xi in danger. What was the price she had to pay? Would she fall into a coma every time she used its power? Or maybe she could even die?

If so, he would rather Tang Xi not have such a power. No power, no danger.

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and her eyes were full of helplessness. She knew Qiao Liang was already very powerful in this world, but there were still many existences unknown to human beings beyond the world they knew, for example 008 that didn’t belong to this world…

And she couldn’t just throw 008 away. She had asked 008 what happened if she gave up the task, and 008 answered that she would lose the system, and her life. How could she give up her life for a task? She had no choice but to carry on.

She knew Qiao Liang was powerful and concerned about her, but there were always some problems that human beings couldn’t solve. Qiao Liang may be able to find the best doctors to treat her if she had any problems, but no doctor in this world could save her if she lost 008. Even God wouldn’t be able to bring her back to life.

Tang Xi took Qiao Liang’s hand and looked down at his hand. It had been quite a while before she looked up at Qiao Liang and said in a low voice, “Ah Liang, I can’t tell you what kind of an existence it is, nor its identity, but please remember as long as it’s in my body, I can live. If it leaves me one day, then I’ll die, unless… I gain its recognition. At that time, it will leave me itself and then I’ll be free and also become powerful.”

Hearing her words, Qiao Liang frowned and his face grew darker and darker. He then looked at Tang Xi and asked, “You mean ‘that stuff’ is the key to your survival?”

Tang Xi paused. The key to her survival? Yes! She just needed to tell him this! Why did she bother to explain so much… sure enough… Ah Liang was way smarter than her.

Tang Xi nodded gently and Qiao Liang asked, “Now it wants you to enter the entertainment circle?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes.”

“Then what’s your purpose?” Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi. If it was necessary for her to become a star, he would try his best to help Xixi achieve her goal as soon as possible. He would help her achieve what ‘that stuff’ wanted her to do to save her time and efforts.

“To become the goddess of the whole nation.” Tang Xi hesitated and said.

Qiao Liang frowned and looked at Tang Xi who shrugged and said helplessly, “It insisted on me achieving this goal. I had no choice, so I wanted to take the promotion clip of The Queen as a chance to start my career in the entertainment circle. Fortunately, Director Ning saw my potential and offered to cooperate with me.”

Qiao Liang could see the joy in her eyes although she looked helpless. He reached out a finger to tap on her forehead and said, “You seem to be proud of his offer.”

Tang Xi smiled and held Qiao Liang’s arm. She pouted and looked at Qiao Liang, saying sweetly, “Please agree to me entering the entertainment circle for my survival’s sake, okay? Please~”

“You know I don’t have another choice.” Qiao Liang looked helplessly at Tang Xi. In his heart, nothing was more important than her safety. If this was the only way she could survive, he wouldn’t object to it. He would try his best to help her succeed in the entertainment industry.

Tang Xi was relieved to hear Qiao Liang’s words. She held Qiao Liang’s arm more tightly. It seemed that she had gained his support.

“The embassy and police station just called me. Someone wants to see you. I think it must be…” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and said.

Tang Xi turned up the corners of her mouth, looked at Qiao Liang and raised her eyebrows. “Is it someone from the Qin family? It must be because of Qin Xinying. Let me guess who the person is…”

There was no one in the Qin family that could bid the embassy to make this call except Grandpa Qin.

Tang Xi smiled and said, “Grandpa Qin is an interesting person. Let’s go and meet him. If I refuse, he will think I’m afraid of them, but…”

She hoped Grandpa Qin was a reasonable person and not like Qin Xinying and her father. Otherwise, she didn’t mind offending him. After all… she didn’t want to be a ‘nice person’ any longer.

Qiao Liang and Tang Xi said goodbye to He Wanzhou and the others. Seeing them leave, Ning Yan shook his head and complained that Xiao Rou was not a responsible boss. Tang Xi told him that she would have someone else to deal with the issues here, because she was not good at dealing with these matters, and left.

She didn’t lie. Compared with her, Chu Ling was an excellent managerial talent. She believed that Chu Ling would make a better promotion clip than Ning Yan. For some reason, she believed that there wasn’t anything that Chu Ling couldn’t do.

If Ning Yan had known what Tang Xi was thinking, he would jump up and beat her.

He Wanzhou also saw Xiao Rou’s potential. He had planned to talk with Tang Xi to persuade her to sign an agency contract with his company, but she left so quickly and left him no time to talk with her…

Tang Xi had no idea what He Wanzhou was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t sign that contract with He Wanzhou’s company, because she had the Empire Entertainment that was more powerful than He Wanzhou’s Qingcheng Entertainment. Besides… as the saying goes, don’t let your own fertile water flow into others’ field. Now she just wanted to raise her wealth points, so she certainly wouldn’t give her money to another company.

She would sign the agency contract with the Empire Entertainment, and then every penny she earned would be hers! She wouldn’t choose any other agency company! Besides… there were a lot of gold agents in the Empire Entertainment.
