Ji Yuan: "I've Got a Talent for Singing Too" [Feeling Rested-Here's Another Chapter]

Yes, it works.

Go to her place!

I just got back from the hospital and I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking a day off.

I'm not feeling well today. I just got back from the hospital with my medication, and I'm having trouble writing. I'll be taking a day off, and I'll definitely make up for it with a 10,000-word update tomorrow.

Excuse me...

Chapter 240 Ji Yuan: I also have a talent for singing [After resting, here's another chapter]

(P. S.: I slept from 6 or 7 a. m. to 3 a. m., and I feel much better.)

Seeing Ji Yuan's pensive expression, Sparkle reached out her hand to say goodbye.

"I've already given the notifications. Goodbye!"

After saying this, she immediately turned and walked outside. As she walked, she hummed a little tune she had learned on the Xianzhou.

However, before she could take two steps, Sparkle was stopped by Ji Yuan: "Hey? Wait a minute."

"What? Are you planning to go on a date with me? Okay, let's go, let's get a room." Sparkle said, reaching out to take Ji Yuan's hand and leave.

However, Ji Yuan dodged her hand as soon as she reached it out.

"How is that possible?"

"Well, there's nothing more to say. I still have to work at the newspaper. Poor me, a little girl who's not even an adult yet, worked so hard to come all the way from the distant Jarilo-VI to the Luofu Starfaring Vessel with some heartless man. He just dumped me and didn't even acknowledge me. I'm left all alone, doing odd jobs..."

Sparkle's tone was gentle and melodious, as if Ji Yuan had indeed done something to her. This emotional embellishment even affected Suyi, who looked at her son with a hint of suspicion.

Suyi would absolutely not believe it if you said her son was an idiot. But if you said Ji Yuan was a scumbag...

I'm not entirely sure about the Suyi.

Just as she was thinking this, Sushang leaned close to her mother and whispered, "Mom, she's a Masked Fool."

Oh, that's alright then.

Suyi left indifferently.

Seeing that the fun was over, Sparkle could only look at Ji Yuan with a sullen expression. Tilting her head back, she asked Ji Yuan, "So, is there something you want me to do?"

"I want to know why you're helping me like this. What do you want me to give in return? Today's events are alright, but if you hadn't told me about the 'Sudden Strike' during the previous battle, we might have missed our chance."

Ji Yuan always felt uneasy and uneasy Masked Fool kept giving him things but never took anything.

"That depends on your own thinking." Sparkle flicked her chin with her fingertip. "Aren't you a member of the Genius Society? Someone as smart as you can definitely figure it out."

Sparkle bounced and skipped away.

She ran out into the street and casually tossed the newspaper she was holding to passersby, not asking for a single penny. She was happy now, so giving away newspapers to others was nothing to her.

"Ji Yuan, just guess. Even if you use your clever little brain, you still won't figure out what I want."

"Because I don't want anything at all."

Sparkle wore an expression that suggested a weasel had successfully stolen a chicken.

Seeing Ji Yuan completely bewildered was exactly what she wanted to see.

Whee...

Sparkle was laughing very happily.

Ji Yuan really couldn't figure out Sparkle's purpose or intentions. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply decided to give up.

Ji Yuan turned to look at Suyi and the others. "I'll handle this matter. Miss Robin has come all this way and is now burdened with all sorts of rumors. It's really not the responsibility that our Celestial Ark Alliance should fulfill."

"Yes, indeed, you should be in charge of this matter."

Suyi nodded in approval.

"Then I'll go take a look and handle this matter properly."

"Um."

Ji Yuan immediately left home and headed towards Exalting Sanctum.

The residence he purchased wasn't far from Exalting Sanctum, and Ji Yuan quickly arrived at the Interastral Peace Corporation's office in Chang Ji Yuan Exalting Sanctum. The Interastral Peace Corporation had many collaborations with the Celestial Ark Alliance, and had numerous shops and offices in Xianzhou locations. Upon arriving, Ji Yuan was greeted by Xiao Xiaohan, a young man from the Xianzhou.

"Secretary Ji, is there something you need to take care of here?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but glance at him. Was this guy completely choosing sides within the company by referring to his own position?

However, this was not of much concern to him. Ji Yuan asked him, "Is Topaz there? I need to talk to her about something."

His words had barely faded when Topaz appeared before him, carrying the Numby. His face beaming with excitement, he asked Ji Yuan:

"Yes, yes, boss, what can I do for you?"

Ji Yuan placed the newspaper on the table and pointed to the news. "I've run into some rumors. Go and handle this. Hmm, don't let these rumors circulate in the market."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away. Don't worry, boss, those rumors will all disappear soon," Topaz assured Ji Yuan. After making that assurance, she asked Ji Yuan, "By the way, boss, should we deal with Miss Robin's previous rumors, and the upcoming ones?"

"Let's deal with it together."

This was something he did on a whim, and Ji Yuan certainly wouldn't be stingy with it.

"Okay, I'll go contact the newspaper owners right away."

While making a newspaper or news outlet famous throughout the universe might create a large media conglomerate, it's nothing compared to a behemoth like the Interastral Peace Corporation. With Ji Yuan involved, those media conglomerates would never dare to report on the Robin again.

In fact, what happened today was because the reporters from those media groups didn't understand Ji Yuan's identity. Ji Yuan's desire to avoid fame, while bringing him many conveniences, occasionally led him to such situations. If they knew his identity, let alone a fake scandal, even if Ji Yuan and Robin were seen holding hands in a love hotel, those newspapers wouldn't dare report it.

Ji Yuan nodded. "Okay, I'll leave things here to you. After you've finished dealing with things here, go and contact the Aventurine collector who has already arrived in Penacony. We'll head to Penacony after my coming-of-age ceremony."

"Clear."

Topaz immediately began preparing to go to work.

Ji Yuan didn't linger there and turned to walk towards the luxury hotel where the Robin stayed in Exalting Sanctum.

The hotel wasn't far from the company's office, and when Ji Yuan arrived at the entrance, he found it surrounded by reporters from all over the world. Fortunately, the hotel was luxurious and security was tight; the reporters were simply waiting at the entrance for the Robin to appear so they could get firsthand news.

"These tabloid reporters are too dedicated. Some of them are even lying down in the grass. And the rest of you, aren't you in danger in that spot? Do you believe I'll release some mosquitoes and ticks for you to bite right now?"

Ji Yuan walked towards the hotel.

At this moment, the tabloid reporters were taken aback when they saw Ji Yuan appear, and then they immediately showed expressions as if they knew there was big news.

Isn't this the guy from that old photo? What's his relationship with Miss Robin?

Reporters rushed out and crowded around Ji Yuan.

"Sir, were you and Robin entering and leaving the hotel together?"

"Hello, what is your relationship with Miss Robin?"

Will your relationship with Miss Robin affect her singing career?

"..."

Hearing the noise, Ji Yuan waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Your boss will talk to you about this later."

Will our boss talk to us about this?

The reporters were puzzled, but just then, most of their phones rang. They looked at the caller ID—it really was their boss. Filled with doubt, they answered the phone...

Then I got a really bad scolding.

Ji Yuan didn't even need to listen; he could imagine that what their boss said on the other end of the phone wouldn't be so pleasant.

Soon, the reporters put down their phones and turned to leave dejectedly. Before leaving, they glanced at Ji Yuan with horrified eyes.

The reporters from the major media outlets left, but those from smaller newspapers and media outlets weren't in a hurry to leave. They looked at each other, but ultimately, their desire for a big story prevailed. Mustering their courage, they decided to go and ask Ji Yuan for more information.

This time, Ji Yuan was even less polite. Just as they were about to ask questions, a group of Cloud Knights rushed up and took all the remaining reporters away.

What a joke! Ji Yuan is a great hero of our Xianzhou! How dare you come here and spread rumors? Even if there were nothing going on, you shouldn't report it.

After carefully checking the surroundings and confirming that there were indeed no reporters lying in wait, Ji Yuan walked into the hotel.

Arriving at the door of the top-floor luxury suite, Ji Yuan gently knocked.

As he knocked on the door, he said to the person inside, "Miss Robin, are you there? I've already dealt with all the reporters downstairs, so you can come out without worry."

"Really? That's wonderful."

A Robin's excited chirping came from inside the room.

Then the door opened, and Robin, still in her evening gown, appeared before Ji Yuan.

After opening the door, she glanced around and whispered to Ji Yuan, "Are they all really gone?"

Ji Yuan answered without hesitation, "Of course. If they still don't leave after I step in, then I'll probably be the one running next."

"Why?"

The Robin looked somewhat confused.

"Because in that situation, the only possibility is that the reporter was Aha in disguise. If I saw the Star God, I would definitely run away."

Ji Yuan's expression was very serious, as if he were really stating a statement.

The Robin couldn't help but chuckle.

Mr. Ji Yuan, that's really quite humorous. He's clearly a big shot, yet he has absolutely no airs. The scandal involving me and him could have been easily handled by anyone he sent, but he actually came all the way here in person.

She quickly extended her hand in an inviting gesture.

"Mr. Ji Yuan, please come in first."

"Um."

Ji Yuan went inside with the Robin.

At this moment, he discovered that all the curtains in the room were drawn, and not a single ray of light could get in.

Seeing that Ji Yuan's gaze was fixed on the curtains, the Robin said somewhat embarrassedly, "The reporters outside are really too noisy, so I had to close the curtains."

"Don't worry, it won't happen again." Ji Yuan walked to the curtains and forcefully pulled them open.

"Not just on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel, but anywhere in the universe, you no longer need to draw the curtains to hide from reporters."

The curtains were drawn back, and sunlight from the Luofu Starfaring Vessel shone on Ji Yuan's face.

The Robin looked at the earnest boy and felt that his handsome face was shining. It was as if the light was shining from him, making the whole room brighter.

From now on, I won't have to think about those rumors anymore? That's so great...

She wanted to spread her voice of Harmony throughout the cosmos, but after achieving fame, she was accompanied by countless scandals and slanders. She found herself unable to ignore them, so she temporarily stopped singing and traveled the universe doing charity work. She hoped to bring comfort to those affected by disasters and also find the courage to persevere.

She came to Ark to perform this time because of the company's influence and the help they had given her before, which made it difficult for her to refuse. However, it seems that this time she has gained an unexpected reward.

"Those reporters, you dealt with them all?"

"Don't talk to me like I'm a murderer. I'm just informing their boss that I don't want to see any more criticism of you. If I do, I'll be unhappy. If I'm unhappy, then the Celestial Ark Alliance, the Interastral Peace Corporation, and the Genius Society will be unhappy. I believe that no media group in the entire universe has the guts to do this."

"Yes, thank you so much."

The Robin nodded vigorously.

Then he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan accepted the tea and said nonchalantly, "You came to the Xianzhou to sing at my ceremony. If you're happy, the concert will naturally be even better. This is not only helping, but also helping me."

"I will definitely sing well at Mr. Ji Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony," the Robin said, nodding vigorously.

"Don't mention the coming-of-age ceremony..."

The Robin felt closer to Ji Yuan.

At that moment, Ji Yuan spotted the bullet hole behind the decoration on the Robin's neck.

What happened to this bullet hole?
