Chapter 1092: Si Fuqing Casually Delivered Ten Boxes of Medicine, The Nation’s Heroine (1)
Both the name Odile and the surname Lotebar were well-known in the evolved beings’ community.
The impact of their simultaneous appearance was immense.
The butler’s hand trembled as he watched the box tumble through the air, perilously close to hitting the ground.
His expression changed in an instant, and he reached out to catch it, but it was too late.
Just as the box was about to hit the ground, it was deftly caught by a single hand.
The butler froze, staring in disbelief as the girl effortlessly hoisted the box onto her shoulder, momentarily stopping his thoughts.
...
“Be careful,” Si Fuqing said, her voice steady. “There are glassware inside; it could break.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Si,” the butler stuttered, flustered. “I was just too excited. I really should help you take it upstairs.”
“Excited?” Si Fuqing glanced at the delivery information and sighed. “Even this dog-scratched handwriting is recognizable. You’re quite impressive. I’ll send her a calligraphy book next time.”
The butler blinked in confusion.
Who’s dog-scratched handwriting?
“Don’t bother; I can manage on my own,” Si Fuqing said as she turned, her steps light as she swiftly entered the hall.
The butler was still trying to wrap his head around it.
He confirmed that he hadn’t seen wrong; the address on the delivery note was indeed from the Evolved Beings Alliance.
Seeing the butler still dazed, In Yunxi frowned. “Butler?”
“Ah, Miss Yunxi,” the butler snapped back to reality, wiping sweat from his brow. “Do you know if Miss Odile has been at the Evolved Beings Alliance recently?”
“Her?” In Yunxi shook her head. “I’m not sure. Why do you ask?”
She had little interaction with Odile and knew the black swan was fiercely independent; she would rather act than speak, and even the young alliance leader Chris found her challenging.
The butler opened his mouth. “On Miss Si’s delivery note—”
Before he could finish, In Yunxi interrupted him gently. “Her delivery is her business. I’m not interested in it. You still need to arrange accommodations for them; it must be quite a task for you.”
The butler wanted to insist that it was his duty and not burdensome, but In Yunxi had already turned to leave.
He had also heard that Si Fuqing returned to the In family in the afternoon with ten shots and ten consecutive ten rings.
The recoil from those guns could be quite strong; even evolved beings could strain their wrists during training.
Yet Si Fuqing had fired off ten shots without a hint of discomfort in her wrist. There was no way her strength was low?
The butler muttered to himself.
Although In Yunxi was concerned about Si Fuqing, he felt something was off in her words, yet he couldn’t pinpoint what it was after thinking for a while.
Scratching his head, he led the servants to tidy the courtyard.

The In residence was expansive, with the courtyard where In Beichen and In Yaonian had lived still retaining its original appearance.
She had been assigned to In Beichen’s room.
“I’m almost ready to be a fan of yours,” Sang Yanquing remarked, glancing back at the ecstatic girl. “No wonder people say being your fan is bliss; I’ve never seen a fellow artist casually carry around a photo book.”
“If they’ve come all the way to the crew, they must be true fans,” Si Fuqing replied lazily. “It’s about reciprocating affection; only such affection can last long.”
Sang Yanquing nodded in agreement. “You have no idea. I’ve seen several stars who curse their fans behind their backs, and it’s downright ugly.”
“They’ll crash sooner or later,” Si Fuqing yawned. “I’ll take a nap; wake me when we arrive at the set.”
Sang Yanquing nodded, handing her a pair of earplugs.
Si Fuqing put on an eye mask, leaned against the car window, and quickly fell asleep.

The crew of “The Nation’s Heroine” maintained strict confidentiality. They had already filmed a third of the series, yet aside from official behind-the-scenes content, no leaks had emerged.
The filming location was not easily accessible, and the harsh environment kept entertainment reporters at bay.
However, this did not affect the show’s popularity; many industry insiders predicted that Si Fuqing would become an international sensation with this series and break into the film industry.
Tong Luoyun was as restless as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth. “Is there really no news at all?”
“I’ve managed to gather some information,” her manager replied with a nod. “It seems that Si Fuqing has brought in two rookie actors to play JIANG Xuanjin and his childhood sweetheart. The script has also expanded JIANG Xuanjin’s role.”
Even Tong Luoyun couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. “JIANG Xuanjin? Is she out of her mind?”
Jiang Xuanjin was a legendary figure.
He was second only to Emperor Yin in terms of historical fan following.
His female fans rivaled even the current top male stars, and countless fanfiction existed online.
Setting JIANG Xuanjin up for a romantic subplot was akin to a death wish.
The agent continued, “It’s not confirmed yet, but people have indeed seen rookies on set, and they have both good looks and charisma.”
“Leverage it,” Tong Luoyun scoffed. “If it’s true, this show will flop. If it’s false, at least we’ll get some intel.”
But Tong Luoyun knew that although she had won all the domestic awards, none could compare to Si Fuqing’s nomination for the Nine Realms Award.
If Si Fuqing were to win an international grand slam with “The Nation’s Heroine”, it would truly overshadow her.
Especially since Si Fuqing’s agent was Sang Yanqing; Tong Luoyun found it hard to swallow.
The agent understood. “I think the same way.”
“Let the historical fans and her fans fight it out,” Tong Luoyun said nonchalantly. “We’ll just sit back and watch.”
Her manager quickly reached out to marketing accounts to start leaking the plot of “The Nation’s Heroine”.
Naturally, the marketing accounts seized this opportunity.
Soon, buzz began to grow.
As netizens clicked into the thread, they confirmed whether the character mentioned was indeed the historical figure known as the white-robed general.
[Today’s Report]: According to staff, “The Nation’s Heroine” has expanded JIANG Xuanjin’s role and introduced a childhood sweetheart, hinting at a romantic subplot between them. What exactly will unfold in their story? Stay tuned!
This brief statement ignited the fury of history enthusiasts who were devoted fans of JIANG Xuanjin.
[I disagree, disagree, disagree!]
[This is ridiculous! Don’t insult historical figures. JIANG Xuanjin devoted himself to the Great Xia; why turn him into an ordinary man? Do the current screenwriters think they can’t write without romance? What’s next, will they say JIANG Xuanjin didn’t actually die and that he retired with his childhood sweetheart? So cliché!]
[Adding a romantic storyline for JIANG Xuanjin? Has the screenwriter lost their mind, or has Si Fuqing become arrogant after her Nine Realm Award nomination? How could she claim to know JIANG Xuanjin well enough to say he had someone he loved?]
