Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Since ancient times, renowned generals are like beauties, not allowing the world to see their white hair (2nd Update)
The day of the Oscars had arrived.

All of Hollywood was abuzz.

The streets were packed with tourists and movie fans from all over the world, among them numerous movie stars from various countries.

In Shen Kang’s words, it was a global cinematic feast.

Xue An and his family were sitting in Shen Kang’s car, driving towards the venue.

An Yan turned her gaze away from the outside and asked with some confusion, “Husband, why hasn’t Meng Xue contacted us yet?”

These past few days, An Yan had been puzzled by this.

Fan Mengxue had invited her family to Hollywood, so why hadn’t she shown up?

Xue An smiled faintly, “Maybe she’s just busy!”

An Yan nodded and said nothing more.

However, a hint of doubt had also risen in Xue An’s heart, but then he shook his head and dismissed the thought.

She must really be busy, after all.

It was when Xue An reached the outside of the Oscars venue.

The Night Devil Empress stood in front of the hotel mirror, looking at the woman in the reflection.

The woman was extraordinarily beautiful, but a faint black aura in her eyes made her look very eerie.

The Night Devil Empress slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes had regained their clarity.

Moreover, her entire aura rapidly retracted and vanished, eventually making her indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

It wasn’t until then that the Night Devil Empress nodded with satisfaction, extended her finger to touch her reflection in the mirror, and smiled faintly.

“For this secret technique, I even exhausted the majority of my soul’s power! Now, even if a Golden Immortal were here, they wouldn’t be able to tell who I am! Xue An, I hope you will like this gift!”

At that moment, Han Yao also walked in.

Now, there was no trace of demonic aura about her, and she was indistinguishable from a normal person.

This was also the handiwork of the Night Devil Empress, all for the purpose of making everything flawless.

“Empress, it’s about to start. Let’s go,” Han Yao said.

The Night Devil Empress nodded and was about to leave the hotel room when a voice came from behind them.

“Excuse me, are you Miss Fan?”

The Night Devil Empress turned around to look.

She saw a handsome, well-dressed blond man standing not far away, smiling at her.

The Night Devil Empress was a bit startled.

Amazement flashed through the man’s eyes.

Indeed, just like the rumors, she was a breathtaking Eastern beauty!

Thinking this, the man stepped forward, his manner courteous, and said, “Pleased to meet you. I am Williams from Los Angeles, M Country. You can also call me William!”

The Night Devil Empress smiled, then extended her hand and lightly clasped William’s.

“I’m delighted to meet you!”

Williams held Fan Mengxue’s soft hand for a brief moment, and although it was a brief encounter, his heart still skipped a beat.

At the same time, his heart was full of excitement and joy.

People said that Fan Mengxue was indifferent, keeping all men at arm’s length, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

It appeared that the charm of those others simply wasn’t great enough!

With this thought, Williams smiled slightly, “First of all, congratulations, Miss Fan, on winning this year’s Best Actress award!”

The Night Devil Empress shook her head, “Talking about it now is still a bit premature! And sorry, but I need to leave!”

With that, she was ready to leave.

Williams, of course, did not want to let this opportunity slip away, so he quickly said, “I was just about to head to the venue myself. Let’s go together!”

As he spoke, Williams looked at Fan Mengxue with some nervousness.

This woman, her beauty made him quite apprehensive.

Moments later, the Night Devil Empress nodded, “Alright then!”

Williams was overjoyed, thinking he had a chance!

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked ahead.

But Williams didn’t notice that Han Yao, walking behind them, had a gaze full of mockery and murderous intent.

The Shen Family didn’t have any films nominated for the Oscars this year, so there were no seats for them in the main venue.

Feeling apologetic about this, Shen Kang was ready to find some connections to get Xue An and the others inside.

Xue An shook his head and chuckled lightly, “No need, it’s quite nice here, and we even have a view of the red carpet!”

As he was speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd nearby.

A black Mercedes stopped, and a Chinese male star with a prominent nose got out.

The male star wasn’t young anymore, his face showing signs of age, but his eyes remained sharp and bright.

“It’s Mr. Dragon!” An Yan exclaimed excitedly.

Xue An also smiled.

Mr. Dragon’s fame could be said to resonate throughout the entire Chinese-speaking world.

As one of the first Chinese male actors to make a mark in Hollywood, he almost single-handedly upheld the status of Chinese cinema in Hollywood.

Xue An also felt some admiration for such a man.

The flashing lights of cameras went off incessantly, and many media outlets followed behind Mr. Dragon, asking questions.

“Mr. Dragon, what do you think about the Chinese actress Fan Mengxue’s Oscar nomination for Best Actress and the high probability of her winning?”

“Yes, Mr. Dragon, there are rumors that you aren’t too fond of this up-and-coming Chinese actress?”

Facing such inquiries, the always-smiling Mr. Dragon couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, his expression turning serious.

“I had originally planned to discuss this after the award ceremony at the press conference, but since you’re so eager to know, I’ll tell you now!”

Hearing his words, the surrounding media burst into ecstatic delight, thinking they were about to get a sensational news story.

Mr. Dragon said solemnly, “After so many years of striving in Hollywood, many media friends, especially from M Country, have come to see me as a complete M Countryman!”

“But what I want to say today is, no matter how things change, I am Chinese! That’s the most important premise!”

“When I first came to Hollywood, I had no fame, no background; I had to fight my way up from scratch. By the time I had finally made a name for myself, I realized that I was already outdated!”

Mr. Dragon’s words brought some light laughter from some, then the crowd grew quiet again.

Mr. Dragon continued, “I’m old now, I won’t make it to the Oscars in this lifetime, at best they might give me a lifetime achievement award! But just because I can’t doesn’t mean other Chinese can’t!”

“So when I heard that Miss Meng Xue had come to Hollywood and was nominated for the Oscars, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep all night!”

“The only feelings I have in my heart are the sincerest blessings and the deepest relief! Because I am indeed old. The road ahead should be left for young people like Miss Meng Xue to take!” Mr. Dragon said, his eyes welling up with tears.

His words also moved many of the Chinese media reporters present to tears.

Indeed!

This man who had battled it out on the silver screen for so many years was finally showing his age.

Famous generals and great beauties alike are forbidden by heaven to show their grey hair to the world.

Before the Oscars had even begun, Mr. Dragon’s words had already gone viral on the internet.

Countless Chinese netizens commented and liked the news.
