In the cave, with the prompt of the clown, Xia Ling played three games with the demon king.

They were all small games like rock-paper-scissors and guessing riddles and were not designed to be particularly interesting or difficult. She won three rounds in a row. Her stage presence was too good, it was like she had a natural spotlight. Regardless of whether she was laughing, frowning, or participating in any activity, everyone’s eyes would unconsciously follow her. The demon king was severely defeated. “Escaping the cave” became her own personal segment.

Lin Yunan was pleased. As her manager, he was perfectly willing to let her steal his spotlight.

The director was also very satisfied, and the segment was filmed from a few different positions in order to have more angles to choose from during editing.

After Xia Ling passed the cave challenge with the demon king, she looked at the forest which was full of obstacles.

Sandpits, barbed wire, and piles of wood…

The clown pranced around as he introduced her to her next challenge. “Princess Xiao Ling, even though you have escaped the cave of the demon king, you are still trapped in the forest. Next, you have to rely on yourself to escape the forest. In front of you, princess Xiao Yu and princess Luo Luo have already escaped far away under their knights’ protection.”

Xia Ling lifted her head and gazed into the distance. A few meters away, Bai Murong was helping Luo Luo over some barbed wires, beaming from ear to ear. He held out his arms and encouraged her to jump.

Further away, Rong Ping and Zheng Chenhao were with Xia Yu. The three of them got along. The two knights took turns to clear the roadblocks, and the other person carefully supported the weak princess like he was protecting a treasure.

Only Xia Ling was alone.

“Princess Xiao Ling is very pitiful.” The clown bounced behind her and spoke to the camera. “How can she escape the challenging forest without a single knight by her side? Let’s wait and see.”

Pitiful?

Xia Ling wanted to sneer or smile bitterly.

She ran into difficulty in the first stage — a very thin balance beam. The clown told her that the two princesses easily walked across the balance beam with the support of the knights. However, she was alone… so she needed to use her own ability to get across the balance beam.

There was a pond below the balance beam. If she fell into the water, she would immediately fail.

When the prop team prepared this balance beam, they specially chose the thinnest and most difficult one. They never planned for someone to cross it alone as it was a pairing game, and there was a necessity for a male to pair with a female.

Xia Ling adjusted her breath and walked on it.

The beam was made of cork wood. Stepping on it was like stepping on a cloud, and it felt like it could crumble at any moment. It was more difficult to balance on it than on hardwood. After a few steps, she fell down into the pool disastrously, causing a huge splash of water.

Xia Yu turned around just in time and saw her fall. “Xiao Ling is so pitiful.” There was a look of sympathy and worry on her face like a pure and compassionate princess.

Rong Ping and Zheng Chenhao also turned around to look at her.

In the pool, the girl was drenched and her hair was hanging down from her face. Under the bright autumn sun, the water droplets glistened, and it was as if she was enveloped in a golden dream. When she came out of the water, she stretched out her hand and casually parted her hair. There was not the slightest look of defeat on her face. In contrast, her wandering eyes were so moving that she looked like a mermaid that washed up ashore.

Rong Ping’s heart skipped a beat.

He had seen many female celebrities and acted with many of them in his life. Among them, many were more beautiful and famous than Xia Ling. However, this girl in front of him was different. Her every move was so vividly refreshing and was a natural piece of art. The water was her eyes, and her eyebrows were the mountains. Suddenly, poem verses appeared in Rong Ping’s heart.

“Brother Rong.” Xia Yu called for him.

Only then did Rong Ping come back to reality and realize that he had been staring at that direction for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” He calmly asked Xia Yu.

“My foot hurts. Can you hold me?” Xia Yu was slightly nervous and whispered a request. In reality, she secretly hated how long Rong Ping had been staring at that irritating woman Ye Xingling. What did he mean by that? Did he remember whose knight he was?! No way, she must not let that b*tch seduce him!

She looked naturally sickly and learned how to use that to her own advantage from a young age. When she showed a pitiful expression, very few people could avoid feeling bad for her.

She tilted her face on purpose and adjusted herself so that she faced Rong Ping and the camera with her most beautiful angle.

From the start of the show, Rong Ping felt that Xia Yu was not bad.

She was the younger sister of the Diva Xia Ling and had some of Xia Ling’s exquisite beauty. Although she was not as breathtaking as Xia Ling in person, she was already one of the most attractive females in the entertainment industry which was full of attractive people. In terms of appearance, she was far above the cute Luo Luo and Ye Xingling who could only be considered pretty delicate.

However, at this moment.

The way Xia Yu acted weak on purpose made Movie King Rong feel a little annoyed.

Others could not tell that she was acting, but how could he not be able to tell as a movie king? Yes, her acting was very good. In fact, it was probably as good as the actress who acted with him and received the Best Actress Award. However, even if it was god-level acting, when it was compared to that girl in the pond… it was so carefully crafted that it was boring.

In the pond, the girl called Ye Xingling…

Was filled with vitality in the sun.

Although she lacked Luo Luo’s enthusiasm and Xia Yu’s weakness, now Rong Ping had the feeling that the girl was like the sun itself. She was not disruptive and did not need a large entourage or any extra embellishments. Her beauty was natural, and her existence was like the most beautiful song of life.

She was the true princess.

Rong Ping supported Xia Yu with one hand, but his mind was occupied by Xia Ling.

In the rear pool.

Xia Ling was like a mermaid as she swam ashore energetically and elegantly.

“Can you do it?” The clown asked her with some concern. “If you can’t cross it, you can ask for extra help. As long as your friends are willing to cheer for you, the show will add another balance beam. If you step on two balance beams, you will definitely be able to cross the pool steadily.”

“I don’t need it.” Xia Ling did not smile until now. The confidence of a Diva from her bones returned. Wasn’t it just a balance beam? She only got on it just now to try it out and never intended to get across on her first try. Now that she had gotten the feel of it, she would not fail again.
