Actually, Fei Yang had a decent temperament. Among the Kings of Singing across the continents, he was seen as the cool and handsome typeâ
Plus, he was a guy who cared about his face value too.
Although he had been criticized occasionally in recent years for his singing style becoming greasy, it didnât diminish Fei Yangâs reputation as the King of Singing.
Until later.
Fei Yang met Xian Yu.
The title âPerennial Runner-upâ was directly tied to Fei Yang.
A phrase started circulating in the music industry:
âPeople remember only the champion, never the runner-up. The exception is Fei Yang.â
Because of this phraseâ¦
Fei Yang, without lifting a finger, instantly became a sensation throughout Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan.
Other Singing Kings had to appear more in public. They worked hard to sing well and produced some excellent new works to gradually get themselves known to audiences in the other three continents.
But for him, Fei Yang, he rose to fame in all four continents without even leaving home!
Many peers of comparable standing were envious of him.
But Fei Yang was in agonyâ¦
He couldnât bear to let go of the title âPerennial Runner-upâ, yet it also pained him.
It wasnât exactly a pejorative term. There was no disrespect attached to it. It was just light-hearted teasing. Surprisingly, it had boosted his singing career substantially, and his agent was secretly laughing all the way to the bank. Fei Yang was no fool!
But to accept it silentlyâ¦
Fei Yang, being a man who values his pride, felt bitter when people kept teasing him as the âPerennial Runner-upâ.
So he resisted and struggled.
But, up until today, he hadnât succeeded. Instead, it deepened everyoneâs impression of him as the âPerennial Runner-upâ.
Well!
If I canât beat them, I could at least avoid them, right?!
Fei Yang decided that he would avoid Xian Yu at all costs. He really wanted to concede.
He executed this plan quite well initially.
He didnât even participate in The Masked Singer, fearing that he might suddenly spot Xian Yu among the panel of judges when he was performing!
Who wouldâve knownâ¦
Xian Yu didnât even show up for the show at all!
Instead, a mysterious singer named Prince of Lanling criticized that he was a poor singer!
Damn!
This infuriated Fei Yang.
Being criticized by Father Yang was one thing.
He was a maestro, even scarier than Xian Yu.
But on what grounds did Prince of Lanling do it?
Who do you think you are?
Do you really think because Iâm the âPerennial Runner-upâ, that means I suck?
Itâs because I, King Fei, competed against Xian Yu!
Try replacing him with another opponent.
I can beat the shit out of him, believe it or not!
Yes, Iâm talking about you, Prince of Lanling!
As a mere mortal, I can easily crush you!
What angered Fei Yang even more was:
The piece where Prince of Lanling was criticizing him was made into a gif!
Because of An Hongâs face trying to hold back a laugh in the background, it was so wicked that it was being shared all over the internet!
Which meansâ¦
Now people in Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan all know that the mighty King Fei was criticized by Prince of Lanling!
But thatâs not what infuriated Fei Yang the most.
The biggest, most infuriating point for Fei Yang was actually the person behind Prince of Lanling.
Xian Yu!!
Prince of Lanling participated in four competitionsâ
Except for the fourth one being somewhat peculiar, Xian Yu wrote the songs for Prince of Lanling in the first three!
Xian Yu!
Prince of Lanling!
The two of them getting together!
Both old and new grudges combined, Fei Yang exploded!
Although heâs wary of Xian Yu, heâs not afraid of Prince of Lanling.
This is a competition of singing skills!
No matter how good your song is, itâs pointless without singing skills!
Live performance and leaderboard of the season are not the same concept!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fei Yang decided that he would participate in this competition, regardless! This might be his only chance to get back at Xian Yu. Even if he wonât end up as the champion, Fei Yang would still unleash his most terrifying strength to give his opponent a taste of his power!
Just at that moment.
Fei Yang came across a popular comment on the internet:
âHave you guys noticed a mysterious phenomenon?â
âWhat phenomenon?â
âPrince of Lanling sang Fei Yangâs song and then secured the second place.â
âHoly crap! The power of being second is awesome!â
âCompared to Chen Zhiyu, King Fei outperforms his predecessor, while Prince of Lanling is just singing his songs and is destined to be second!â
ââ¦â
Fei Yang: âDamn!â
He freaking placed second just because he sang my song.
This must be a coincidence!
You guys are not human, youâre truly dogs, I will now go and win the first season of The Masked Singer to show you guys!
Somewhere else.
Of course, Lin Yuan didnât know that King Fei was furious, let alone plotting to outdo himâ¦.
The competition was put on hold for now.
In the following days, Lin Yuan started to focus on writing his novel.
He could write at home, in the studio, or even on the set of the Spiderman film.
The filming process was progressing quite fast.
This is a characteristic of superhero films.
The shooting isnât complex, most of the movie scenes are actually shot in front of a green screen.
What really takes up the time is the post-production of the film.
However, that is the case on Earth.
The development of special effects technology for film in Blue Star is much more advanced than Earth, so the time for post-production special effects can be greatly shortenedâ¦
Of course.
As Lin Yuan was putting all his effort into writing his novel, he was making rapid progress, this was his first attempt at non-stop writing around the clockâ
Swiftly and steadily!
One story after another from the Hercule Poirot Series came to life under Lin Yuanâs pen.
This was also related to Lin Yuanâs recovery.
Lin Yuanâs current health was absolutely great.
In the past, he could write up to fifty thousand words a day, after which he would feel quite tired.
But now, he could write up to a hundred thousand words a day. Even if he didnât feel incredibly energetic afterwards, at least he wasnât in low spirits.
Moreoverâ¦
Being healthy brought Another benefit to Lin Yuan: he didnât need to keep a fixed sleep schedule any more.
In other words:
Lin Yuan experienced the joy of staying up all night writing.
However, Lin Yuan had good self-control, generally staying up until midnight, and then he would obediently go to sleep.
In Systemâs wordsâ¦
Even if one is healthy, they need to take care of themselves, if they overdo it, health problems may still emerge.
Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan definitely wouldnât dare to overdo it.
He knew better than anyone else how precious health is to mankind.
Just like that.
Time entered the month of March.
On that day, at nine forty in the evening.
Lin Yuan was about to finish writing âThe Hercule Poirot Collectionâ.
Next, he was going to write the final story of âThe Hercule Poirot Collectionâ.
This was Poirotâs final case.
The name of the case was âCurtainâ.
Yes.
Hercule Poirot was about to greet the last case of his career.
Howeverâ¦
When Lin Yuan prepared to write, he hesitated.
This was the first time Lin Yuan hesitated.
He even felt somewhat uncomfortable.
In the past few days, while writing those previous cases, his hands moved quickly, his fingers on the keyboard were like phantoms.
But at this moment.
Lin Yuanâs hand stalled in the air above the keyboard, as if someone had pressed the stop button.
It wasnât that he couldnât bear finishing âThe Hercule Poirot Collectionâ.
Lin Yuan, under the pseudonym âChu Kuang,â had ended too many classic stories, heâd never hesitated, and heâd never felt uncomfortable when writing the grand finale.
Butâ¦
This novel will be the first time Chu Kuang cruelly kills the male protagonistâ¦
Yes.
Poirot, will die!
