193 The Magic of Attraction (2/2)
Xi Shi decides to speak up. Her voice sounds much more softer and lovelier than before, like beautiful song that ensnares the soul of men, and it is working.
”Yes, of course. Sightsee all you want, miss.”
The man responses while nodding. He even reaches out to help her down the stone steps, and if Xi Shi actually wanted to, he would have lied down on the floor and let her steps over him, just so she would not get her feet dirty.
Seeing that plays out makes me chuckle, and it is thanks in no small part to me.
I help her just because I want to see how effective the enchantment will be when being coupled with her already unnatural beauty.
It is unnatural as beauty is subjective based on the species and environments, as Mother Nature would have no clue how to go about it.
In addition, the people from the Party did quite a bit of work on Xi Shi externally and internally, making her takes on the appearance of the real Xi Shi in every aspect.
It is like a primitive form of cloning, but I guess without access to actual cloning technology, they have to make do with what they currently have.
”I fear the day that you become an actress, junior sister. All men will become your slave one they see what an unearthly fairy you are. Perhaps women too.”
I joke as I proceed to head out of the area.
There is no need to disrupt the filming of the Chinese drama, considering that the crewmen seem to be on a very tight schedule just like the people who are working for me in Terra Entertainment.
That is obvious, considering the same motto applies in the United States also applies here in China.
Work hard, play hard. Fuck around, and you will get castrated.
It is as simple as that, and I think several idiots have already been castrated. Just like Lok Entertainment in Thailand, the Chairman, CEO, CFO, COO… and so on are all Hydra members.
And they aren't as merciful as I am. That is saying something.
Of course, Hydra doesn't have as much presence here as it does in the United States, but that doesn't mean it cannot start wasting people under my orders.
”Thank you, senior brother.”
Xi Shi responses. She also blushes a little at my compliment and wonders to herself why.
She has been complimented plenty of time before by countless of powerful and wealthy men, but not a single one of them has been able to move her heart even if a little.
Xi Shi did not speak anything else as we head out of the Forbidden City, and neither did I. Even so, her aura attracts many people, who stare wide-eyed at her. Some women included.
This causes her to be perplex, as she didn't understand why people are so attracted to her but playing as one of the most beautiful women in all of China, she is used to the attention. It helps her accomplish many of her assignments and missions.
Even so, it is still a bit bizarre even to her standard, and I am not going to tell her the reason why. She does not have the clearance to know.
”I suppose that we should part ways here, junior sister. I will have the serum delivered to you as soon as I have more available. They do not come cheap, and if the Master deems it necessary, you and I will be seeing each other a lot more. I might even drop by your place in the future.”
I tell her as we are waiting for a taxi, but since China is not very well-developed right now in the 1990, it would be quite a long wait. Not that I really mind.
Actually, I do a little due to the people starting to crowd around us. The effect would wear out eventually, but I think I might have over done it.
”Yes. Thank you again, senior brother. Do you know where I live?”
I smile at her before walking away while still fanning myself leisurely. That was a really stupid question, so I do not need to answer it. I hope that she becomes smarter one day, as all of my daughters should be in some way.
By association, some of the people follows me, mostly women, but I pay them no mind. I did, however, pick up my walking speed, forcing them to run after me. It is fun to watch.
Eventually, I turn the corner and disappear into thin air.
Not teleport but entering my spatial dimension. I can actually use it to teleport since the portal to and out of the spatial dimension is not relative to position.
I can open the portal anywhere within the spatial dimension and outside in the real world. Perhaps, it can be used to create spatial bridge, something like a real Stargate, capable to transporting people as well as things over vast distances.
In any case, the stalkers must have become quite puzzled to where I had vanished to. They swiftly run back to where they had come from due to being affected by the aura surrounding Xi Shi.
As for Xi Shi herself, she manages to find her way home after getting swarmed by people. It is because she is beautiful, but it is also because of a little magic on my part. Alright, not a little, but like a lot.
I basically troll her by casting by enhancing her beauty with magic.
It is highly effective, as people is already attracted to her naturally, but now, they will jump in front of a speeding bus for her even if she had so. That is how powerful an enchanting spell is.
And with a range of spell at my disposal, I am sure that I can turn anyone into a superstar. That actually changes some of my plans, as I assume that I would need to recruit people who will definitely be super famous in the future.
Should I or should I not recruit the people on my list as I have intended to, or maybe, I should nurture those who has the look and the desire to reach stardom but lacks the abilities and skills to do so.
Skills and abilities can be trained over time, and with enchantment and enhancement through magic, I can make anyone a megastar.
I ponder what to do as I have a look at the countless stasis pods containing Xi Shi. A clone of her to be more exact.
More and more stasis pods are being used to grow more Xi Shi while countless clones are being sliced up and experimented upon. It is necessary for the production of the serum, and since they are clones anyway, I shouldn't feel anything for them.
It seems that I have changed quiet a bit since the first time I step through time and space, but it is for the greater good. Besides, clones don't really have a soul, so they are considered expendable livestock, just like animals.
I admit that it is kind of dark, but progress is progress.
Legion is left to do it as it is an emotionless machine. No matter how much the clones scream and beg, Legion will not stop. As for why they were given consciousness instead of just unblinking slab of meat, it is needed to simulate the brain.
I take an empty seat alongside with thousands of my biomechanical avatar before closing my eyes and then severing the wireless connection.
My consciousness returns my body, allowing me to get off the bed and stretching myself. It feels kind of weird controlling my flesh and blood body, not to mention seeing my actual face in the mirror once more.
The feeling will go away eventually, and as it did, I check up on Christina Aguilera. She is still sleeping rather peacefully in her bed thanks to my magic.
As long as nothing disturb her, she would not wake up, and seeing her helps me make up my mind in regard to the questions of whether continuing my original plan.
There is actually no need to choose between the two when I can have the best of both worlds. I think I will continue recruit future stars and starlets as I have planned in the beginning, but with the power of magic, they will be far more than they could ever be.
The discovery magic does make all of my plans easier, but I am not really complaining.
”The world will know your name, Christina, but not as Christina Aguilera. You will be Christina Maxwell, my daughter. Those bear my name will bear my will and stand on top of the world. No. The universe, all of creation.”
I whisper to the girl and give her a kiss on the forehead.
In doing so, I cause another girl to cry and ask for attention.
It seems my days will be quite fulfilling from now on. Is that the right word? Fulfilling. I do hope so, as I don't want it to be a chore of sort.
”Alright, Anti, daddy is coming. Geeze.”
