Chapter 230

Ten minutes ago, the elevator on the third floor of the residential complex.

With a ding, what emerged wasn't human shoes but a pure white paw pad, followed immediately by a Labrador guide dog named Bei Bei wearing a leash; it looked much better than before, lively and natural, but as soon as it stepped out of the elevator door, it began sniffing all the way.

The leash in his hand tugged, and Yun Xian's steps paused slightly: 'What's wrong, Bei Bei?'

The young man stared straight ahead, his beautiful eyes devoid of any luster, making one feel pity.

After Yun Xian came out, he then crouched down and affectionately hugged the Labrador's head, thinking it was anxious.

He immediately spoke softly to soothe: 'Bei Bei, don't rush, we'll be home soon.'

The residential complex's corridor was narrow and long, with two households per floor; Yun Xian had already taken out his home car keys, his rustling silhouette especially clear in the quiet hallway.

Bei Bei whined, its long thick tail wagging back and forth, how strange!

Just after coming out of the elevator it felt something was off; its moist nose twitched in the air, and indeed it smelled a strange scent.

Has anyone else come here?

While thinking, it had already pattered to the front door; Yun Xian had lived here for years, knew the way well, inserted the key into the lock, and with a click the door opened.

At that very moment, the dog's short fur all over its body exploded instantly, and it barked loudly, whining anxiously as if it could almost speak human words!

'Master cannot go inside, there are other smells in the house!'

The Labrador's dog face wore a solemn expression, cautiously staring at the interior, as if nothing had changed since they left!

It sniffed again, and the increasingly strong presence of strangers permeated the house.

The dog suddenly barked loudly: 'Master, be careful, a stranger has entered the house!'

Bei Bei sat down on its rump at the doorway, but its owner had already taken the leash inside, first walking to the side of the door, preparing to turn on the light; hearing its bark, he shuddered at the fingertips.

'Bei Bei? What's wrong?'

Suddenly answering him was the dog's loud barking; the leash in his hand pulled taut, and if someone were here they could see its actions—the guide dog Bei Bei pulled the tight leash outward.

It wanted its master to leave this place.

Suddenly, its motion paused, as if recalling something, it lifted its paw to press the dog tag on its chest: 'Master, let's hurry!'

It could now be certain that a stranger was hiding in the house!

Thief? Robber?

Bei Bei didn't know, but it was certain that he would be harmful to the master! Need to hurry and find the police!

Ah ah ah, police come quickly!

It was so anxious it couldn't bear it; none of its previous actions were useless—the thing hanging on the dog's neck wasn't actually a tag but a small alarm device, personally taught by Instructor Wang!

Yun Xian gripped the leash nervously; having gotten along with it for a long time, he knew Bei Bei's temperament—it was a gentle big dog, never acting like this frantic and uneasy; something must have happened!

Leave!

The instant those two words floated in his mind, he stepped back step by step, walking from the entryway outward; at that moment, the wooden floor inside the house sounded with steady footsteps.

Yellow Hair had a mournful face; behind him was an open window and footprints, suggesting he had pried open the window to enter again this time.

Immediately, he looked toward the master inside the house.

At the same time, Yun Xian, hearing the sound, tensed his whole body, daring not to make a sound; he couldn't see, but his other senses became sharper, even able to feel a human gaze.

In an instant, his heart clenched.

This was his first reaction.

At the same time, Yellow Hair gave a carefree laugh: 'Hey, you've come all this way, why leave?'

Yun Xian tilted his head, fingers touching the smooth wall; his vacant eyes showed a hint of panic, he kept speaking, asking: 'Who are you? What do you want?'

The Labrador guide dog Bei Bei stared fixedly at him, though its neck was shrunken, like a paper tiger, putting on a bluff.

It could smell the unfamiliar yet familiar scent in the air; upon seeing Yellow Hair, it also recognized who he was—he was that thief who had suddenly broken into the house before and injured the master, a big bad guy!

Because of the nature of the guide dog, it couldn't rush forward; instead, this triggered the previously hidden painful memories—what should he and the master do?

At that very moment, the leash around its neck moved; Bei Bei lifted its head, seeing the owner's tense face.

Yun Xian's palms were slick with sweat; this was the second time, having had a previous fight, he had already planned what to do, and upon hearing the opponent's voice, he instantly realized this was the very thief who had stolen things before, whom he had let escape!

His action elicited a response; the Labrador guide dog Bei Bei stuck out its tongue, but before they could coordinate,

A tearful Yellow Hair had already run over: 'I came back just to take revenge!'

'Stupid dog!'

The guide dog whined, rolled up from the ground, barking while guarding in front of its master, the taut leash nearly being pulled apart.

But as the opponent drew nearer, its voice grew lower; recalling past events, it thought it was a useless dog, unable to protect its master!

It raised its paws to cover its head, shoulders slumped in dejection, tail drooping and tucked between its hindquarters.

But terrifying humans grew ever more arrogant!

'Bei Bei? Bei Bei?' The sightless Yun Xian softly called his dog's name; at that moment he suddenly released the leash: 'Bei Bei, run fast!'

A thin, frail figure stepped in front of Bei Bei; its throat rolled, it let out a few whimpers, having taken just a few steps, it met a pair of eyes full of malice.

Bei Bei shook its head, thinking: 'It is the master's dog; how could it abandon the master and flee in battle!'

Even though that person had once given it such deep psychological trauma, Bei Bei still stood firm, its round dog eyes fixed on the opponent, it opened its mouth to reveal sharp canine teeth, its large paws scratching the wooden board, making a rustling sound.

'Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!'

'Master, don't be afraid, Bei Bei won't run, Bei Bei will protect you!'

The dog's loud bark sounded like a small trumpet, resonant and powerful, filling the hallway and also masking the chaotic footsteps.

Bei Bei wouldn't attack him, but it had learned other things at the base; relying on its strong and sturdy physique, it snatched up the broom at the doorway in its mouth, the thick stick looking quite deterrent.

Even Yellow Hair, who had been cowed by its bluff, couldn't help but stop, hesitating, unwilling to advance.

Smart Bei Bei glanced sideways at the door; seeing the thug who had rushed over pause, it suddenly feinted, throwing the stick past, taking advantage of the opponent's flustered moment.

It bit onto the master's clothing and pulled outward, its great force like tugging a big stuffed doll.

Yun Xian almost staggered backward; upon hitting the hallway wall, he suddenly heard a loud bang from behind.

The guide dog Bei Bei, standing up on its hind legs, bit the door handle, slammed the door shut with a bang; the yellow-haired intruder inside stared wide-eyed, "Holy shit, this dog has become a spirit!"

Actually, all of its earlier actions were feints; Bei Bei's true target had always been the door—it wanted to lock the bad guy inside the house to protect its owner's safety.

The guide dog Bei Bei immediately raised its paw to grip the handle, just as it had secretly learned; it opened its mouth, its canine teeth clamped the key and twisted—hearing a click, it released, revealing a wet, string-trailing keychain.

What's going on?

A familiar sound echoed down the hallway; Ling Yue, Wang Chen, and the others rushed over, just in time to see the dog closing the door, watching it turn the key, their eyeballs nearly popping out.

Meanwhile, the click-clack of the lock still reverberated; inside, the yellow-haired intruder was huffing and puffing as it struggled with the lock cylinder.

Outside, the crowd and the dog stared at each other, all dumbfounded.

Woof woof woof woof woof!

Bei Bei suddenly barked furiously, glaring at them reproachfully while scolding: "Why did you only come now? I was about to die of fright earlier! I've already taken care of it myself—you're utterly useless! Utterly useless!"

Among those present, only Ling Yue could understand the dog's words; looking at the situation now, she couldn't help but spread her hands. This was worlds apart from her original plan's process, yet the outcome turned out to be the same by different means.

Wang Chen stood there with his mouth open, dumbfounded: "Does this count as… successful?"

According to their original plan, no destruction, no establishment.

Since the guide dog Bei Bei had a mental block over this incident, they planned to conduct an online scenario simulation once, letting the original thief repeat his performance; this time they arrived, and because Bei Bei's distress call succeeded in summoning help, they caught the thief and turned him over to the authorities!

Let Bei Bei work through its own efforts to overcome its mental block.

But now, they had just gone upstairs when everything was already over.

Bei Bei had locked the person inside the house, preventing them from coming out or going down; the intelligence it displayed was astonishing.

Even the others couldn't help wondering: "Has it become a spirit? How could it open the door and turn the key?"

Bei Bei tilted its head: "Isn't this just a paw's work?"

Ling Yue was the calmest among them, and she couldn't help but recall the dog Dahei who used to grill for everyone on outings—she had seen all kinds of storms and waves!

She had really never seen such a scene!

No matter how the process went, the outcome was good; Bei Bei finally broke free of its mental block, realizing that even without breaking principles, it could still protect its owner!

And the police would also protect the owner!

Ling Yue looked at it and saw in its eyes an unprecedented gleam of confidence, which also meant that Bei Bei had completely overcome its mental block.

Finally, the yellow-haired intruder was led away by police with his head down; as they left, Ling Yue glanced back and saw Bei Bei like a small child, affectionately held in its owner's arms.

It wagged its big tail, feeling very happy ^_^.

【Ding, the Labrador guide dog Bei Bei's wish has been fulfilled. Insight bonus: 100% reward granted, congratulations host 【flower flower】】

Ling Yue rubbed her face; she was also very happy.

After all the turmoil, she rubbed her sore brow; just as she was about to get in the car, Jun Jun suddenly stepped into the driver's seat.

At the same time, a cup of pale yellow yangzhi ganlu was handed over; Ling Yue lifted her gaze, a faint fruit fragrance slipped into her nostrils, the boy looked at her with bent brows and eyes, the meaning obvious without words.

Ling Yue even didn't know when he had left; every time she turned around, Jun Jun would be standing beside her, sometimes he was more like a backdrop, an invisible person, yet clearly this face was naturally handsome.

A hint of warmth flowed through Ling Yue's heart.

Winter daylight is not long; at this time, dusk was already falling.

Jun Jun pressed the horn: "Where to?"

Ling Yue poked the straw in; smooth, rich mango puree and sago pudding flowed into her mouth, a light sweetness—the flavor she knew best, likely from her favorite shop.

But that place is far from here.

Ling Yue gathered her thoughts, then narrowed her eyes and said offhandedly, "Let's go home."

"I don't think you'd dare take me to the ditch."

Jun Jun countered: "Why?"

Ling Yue gave a light smile: "If you don't behave, I'll pull your ear hairs!"

Jun Jun immediately shook its ears; she, she knows what she's saying? The nerves and blood vessels connected to the ears are the most numerous in the body, extremely sensitive.

In Jun Jun's memory, only a partner can touch the ears.

Jun Jun fell silent, its fair ears growing redder and redder, all the way to the base of the neck.

In the blink of an eye, time had passed.

Ling Yue lounged at home for a long time, mainly practicing Daoist arts clicking, testing the efficacy of the spiritual fruits she planted in the Spirit Gathering Array, sleeping until mid-morning each day.

Time also slipped away quietly in her meditation practice and interesting work; in the blink of an eye, the bald flower trees in the community flowerbed sprouted tender shoots, unfurling light green leaves.

Spring had arrived.

If it weren't for the variety show's production team personally calling her, Ling Yue probably still wouldn't have known by now.

Less than a week remained before the premiere of the variety show *My Little Life with It*, the cute pet travel show.

Ling Yue hung up the phone, suddenly feeling a strong gaze; she lowered her head, and the Feng Shui Turtle master, who had been far away just moments before, was now standing before her: "Disciple, is the tour group you signed up for about to start?"

Ling Yue raised her forehead: "It's not a tour group, it's a variety show, and it's indeed about to start filming."

The Feng Shui Turtle nodded serenely: "You must definitely remember to bring me!"

Ling Yue laughed: "I could forget anyone but I couldn't forget you! (o≧v≦)o"

The pet she had originally registered was the Feng Shui Turtle master—forgetting anyone else, she couldn't forget to bring him.

She and the Feng Shui Turtle master chatted, every word drifting into the living room; those who were reading were all drawn into Jun Jun's ears, and the boy's eyes instantly lit up.

He also wanted to go.

He didn't tell Ling Yue, but instead chatted with the Feng Shui Turtle; it was a bright, sunny day, the turtle lounging on its mat, eyes half-closed, its turtle life having already reached perfect completion!

Aside from the pesky kid beside it, the Feng Shui Turtle crawled over: "What do you want? Don't block my sunbathing!"

Jun Jun got straight to the point, asking his question.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Feng Shui Turtle snorted disdainfully: "Really, cleverness backfiring on cleverness—you're foolish."

"As a great mountain lord, don't you know how to be flexible?"

I see how majestic celebrities appear in the human world—just like officials of old on inspection tours, with attendants before and after, splendid and boundless; ordinary people especially worship these celebrities. Do you think they've gotten used to enjoying it, and would really film a show with just one person and one pet?

Even so, off-camera there will definitely be an assistant manager. You've read so many books, why not become Yue Yue's assistant?

Jun Jun's eyes widened; its words were truly enlightening. Afterwards Jun Jun brought it up, and Ling Yue was a bit surprised—she isn't a celebrity, she's always been alone, even without a team, so she truly forgot about this issue.

Jun Jun volunteered, Ling Yue hesitated a moment, then she heard the boy say dejectedly: 'Could it be that Yue Yue doesn't like it?'

Ling Yue shook her head: 'How could it be!'

Jun Jun beamed: 'Then it's settled—I'll definitely work hard to be a good assistant. Whenever Yue Yue needs me, I can be reached through this——'

He said, producing a pure white tiger cub the size of a fingernail, virtually identical to Jun Jun's original form. Seeing her look at it, Jun Jun moistened his lips, his Adam's apple rolling: 'This is my substitute tiger, Hu Hu. Holding it lets you contact me.'

Ling Yue was instantly captivated by its cute appearance; holding it in her hand, she kissed the little tiger's head: 'I really like it.'

Although she didn't think she'd need it anywhere, after all, it was Jun Jun's heartfelt gesture.

Jun Jun's whole body tensed, his heart and forehead flashing with heat; he stammered: 'I, I still have things to do—I'm leaving first.'

As he went out, his left foot nearly tripped over his right; he staggered, pushing the door open, a chill blowing in his face.

The boy's handsome face was already flushed to the point of dripping blood.

Jun Jun poked half his body out, clutching the door handle tightly with both hands; he silently lowered his head—the substitute doll, sharing his sensation.

He touched his forehead; that spot flushed with heat repeatedly, a soft, jelly-like lip landing there, parting instantly yet leaving a vivid sensation.

He gave a silly laugh.

Xunbao Shu Duo Duo, holding a wildflower, passed by and jumped in fright: '!!!'

Good heavens, the Mountain Lord has gone mad!

At the same time, because the variety show was officially announced on Big Eyes, after tagging the participating guests, an uproar instantly erupted online.

Probably because it's an obvious favoritism that anyone can see.

A variety show that had previously leaked not a hint suddenly announced that it would feature Film Emperor Qin Mingwei, Film Empress Ruh Tan, top-tier star Xu He, leading flower-dan Song Youli, and the internet's number-one influencer Ling Yue joining together; as for the last spot, no matter how it's billed, entertainment fans instinctively feel that an internet celebrity can't compare to a true star!

Our older siblings are big stars—how could a mere internet celebrity be worthy of them!

Once these remarks came out, not only Ling Yue's fans but even passersby not involved in showbiz were furious and amused; if not for a few companies' PR guidance and the stars' own overtures, an online war would have erupted instantly.

Actually, who would know? The first four are merely supporting roles; only Ling Yue is the true focus of this event—even a major director, upon receiving the notice from above, couldn't help but gasp.

The assistant director vaguely caught wind of it, lowered his voice and asked the head director: 'Director Liu, isn't this a bit too big a move?'

At that moment, Liu Hengdu held the plan, brows slightly furrowed, hearing this he chuckled: 'The investors think it's worthwhile—what do you think?'

The assistant director was about to say something when he suddenly froze: 'That person… seems not just an internet celebrity.'

He had mistaken her, thinking Ling Yue was merely a pet master, completely forgetting her previous divine foresight—especially in their circle, such masters are always sought after wherever they go!

Given his status, if it weren't for a twist of fate on the show, he might never encounter such a divine figure in his lifetime!

Upon thinking this, the assistant director fully realized.

Liu Hengdu suddenly stood up, tossing the script at him: 'You don't need to overthink it—just be fair and just.'

Ah?

Liu Hengdu: 'When you have time, ponder the plan.'

The assistant director lowered his head in confusion, flipped open the cover, and two large characters came into view—Bright Lustre.

He gaped in shock, his eyes bulging; after a moment, his surging heart eased, and he realized his legs had already turned limp as noodles.

Bright Lustre actually joined!

No one knew who the owner of Bright Lustre was; all that was known was that, recently, inside Jing Shi's Second Ring Road, the imposing Shicheng Building was suddenly leased in its entirety, and an entertainment company bearing the sign Bright Lustre suddenly moved in, and soon became a business tycoon capable of rivaling the old powers.

No one knew who his boss was.

The information the assistant director heard was all spilled by a drunk boss at the dinner table, who at the time cursed directly: "Damn, fucking Bright Lustre, doesn't follow the rules, it'll die sooner or later!"

A few days later, he saw the news that that boss's company had gone bankrupt, his assets vanished, and the assistant director intuited that this was related to Bright Lustre; his greatest pride was his keen intuition—his girlfriend had cuckolded him precisely because of that keen intuition… cough, cough, let's skip that.

Now, their show is spearheaded by the Song family, plus the Ye family, then the Ren family added, and finally, a Bright Lustre Entertainment unexpectedly appeared—who could have imagined it would be so popular?

In an instant, the counselor's chest swelled with passion, gripping the documents, he was determined to do a good job!

At the same time, as mealtime arrived, in the restaurant corner, the lush spider plant leaves were vibrant, all hanging down, like a thousand waterfalls of greenery.

In the corner, a soft female voice faintly sounded.

The woman wearing a beige large hat slightly lowered her head, revealing pale pink lips like cherry blossoms, but her words were so firm as to be irresistible: "Sister Bai, I'm eating."

On the other end of the phone, the agent, anxious to the point of her head burning, hesitated in tone; as a longtime collaborator, she naturally understood what her artist meant, but how could she possibly stay calm!

Bai Mei took a deep breath: "All right, I won't say anything."

She still felt suffocated inside, staring at the computer screen, which happened to be the official website of the wildly controversial "My Little Life with It," tagging each participating guest, including her artist.

Bai Mei fumed, biting her nails, and finally slammed her fist on the table: "I'm so angry I could die!"

On this side, after hanging up, the woman lifted her gaze; her companion sweetly smiled—looking at her appearance, it was none other than Xi Xi, and the woman herself was none other than Ru Tan, the actress embroiled in controversy.

Since that press conference, she and Xi Xi became acquainted through an accident; later, getting to know each other, they discovered their personalities were highly compatible, and now they are extremely close friends.

This time they just came out to shop, and incidentally made plans for a meal.

Xi Xi greeted her: "Hurry up and eat, the food will get cold soon; the dishes here are especially delicious—I happened to discover them by chance."

Ru Tan smiled gently: "Really? Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Midway through the meal, a sudden shout came from a neighboring table; Xi Xi's hand holding the meatball shook violently, and the meatball fell instantly.

That's really over the top!

The two of them paused at once, and then another voice soothed: "Xiao Qi, don't be angry; what can we do? They've already gone public."

That voice, indignant, said: "What publicity? I see them as a bunch of vampires; seeing our brother become famous, they dump all sorts of good and bad stuff around him!"

"Just you wait; when the show airs, that shameless female internet celebrity will surely try to glom onto our Brother Xu He for clout, truly shameless!"

A firecracker‑like voice rattled on, so many and dense that their heads buzzed; the only upside was that they now understood what was going on.

As for Brother White Crane, that was referring to top‑tier Xu He; the so‑called White Crane is a flower name given by his fans, implying the entertainment industry is a giant dye vat, but they believe Brother Xu He will be as pure as a white crane, spotless, rising from the mire unstained.

It's still the trouble caused by the cute pet variety show.

The firecracker's companion exclaimed in surprise, 'It shouldn't be, right?'

"Hmph, what won't? I'm about to die of anger—I'm not eating! I want to see what that lousy net idol Ling Yue has, what qualifications she has to join my brother's show!"

Xiang Xi and Ru Tan stared at each other; a soft rustling sound came and went, then suddenly vanished—looks like someone left.

Xiang Xi's perked ears drooped instantly; she patted her chest, still shaken. She hadn't meant to speak, but this matter actually concerns Ling Yue.

Xiang Xi said, 'It must be Xu He's fans—truly frightening. What a lousy net idol; she's a true master!'

Although she's never actually seen her, her little Sweet Sweet can attest to it—just that divine snake‑taming skill is enough to shock anyone, not to mention her close friend Ren Yaqi, who told her the hard truth from personal experience.

Xiang Xi admires Ling Yue to the utmost!

Ling Yue was offended and quite angry, but she didn't shout like the firecracker earlier; she muttered, 'What do they know? They know nothing!'

"Master? \" Actress Tan Ru's eyes flickered with interest; frankly, she took this show out of interest and a promise—she owes someone a favor; otherwise, with her current standing, she'd treat money as dirt.

If she doesn't like it, even a pay of several hundred million wouldn't get her to join.

As for the show, she had only a vague idea; the guests' agents had even looked into it beforehand, but hearing her friend's strong tone, a flicker of curiosity stirred in her.

Xiang Xi knew she too was on the show; she hadn't intended to speak, but hearing her ask, she didn't hesitate and said directly, 'Do you still remember my little Sweet Sweet?'

Ru Tan's eyes lit up: 'How could I forget it?'

Most girls dislike snakes, especially fierce venomous ones; coming from a scholarly family, she naturally loves cleanliness—she doesn't even like ordinary little bugs, let alone snakes.

But Sweet Sweet is the exception.

It is her life‑saving grace snake; at first Ru Tan was merely grateful, but later she saw it wasn't a fierce venomous snake at all—it was clearly a greedy little kid, extremely gluttonous!

Sweet Sweet can perform all kinds of water‑snake dances; in Xiang Xi's hands it's like a lump of clay, to be kneaded, poked, and flattened as one pleases.

Ru Tan touched it once; its cute little eyes stared at her, its tiny tail tip curled around her wrist, adorable to the extreme, often making her marvel at how such an obedient, cute snake could exist.

Ru Tan is sharp; hearing Xiang Xi mention Little Sweet Sweet, she immediately sensed a connection and asked, 'Is it related to Miss Ling Yue?'

Xiang Xi: 'Of course!'

She held her head high, chest out, like a praised child: 'Sweet Sweet is what she sold me, and also personally □□ by Master Ling Yue; in the animal field, she is absolutely a top‑level master!'

"Ling Yue's fame had already spread throughout Jing Shi; she has handled many small animals, usually a few words can pinpoint the illness, even better than pet‑hospital doctors. I can say this: in the animal field, she has no equal!"

Ru Tan covered her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes glittering; she whispered, 'I'll definitely watch closely to see what tricks she has.'

She never expected her words would actually come true.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Early morning, the animals and people in the house already heard the car's beeping horn; fortunately this is a detached villa, otherwise they'd surely be pelted with rotten eggs.

Disturbing the peace!

Ling Yue in bed turned over, her cheek rubbing against the soft blanket.

At the same time, outside the villa, the production crew had already gathered. The staff of 'Little Life' split into five teams, each heading to a different guest's residence.

At this moment, a small red light flashed on the camera beside him; the show 'My Little Life with It' follows a live‑first‑then‑edited broadcast, so essentially the entire program will be live.

Each episode runs for one week; after a week of live broadcast, a highlighted edited replay is released.

Because of the prior hype and all‑round publicity, everyone in the country knew about this show; thus, as soon as it went live, the livestream actually lagged.

After ten‑odd seconds, the traffic channel expanded; backend data showed in real time: 200,030,000!

Upon hearing this, the assistant director couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air—knowing that last year's blockbuster variety show had only just under 100 million viewers on its debut, they'd directly doubled it!

It certainly can't be just because the New Year passed and inflation happened.

His excitement was indescribable, his palms sweating; looking at director Liu Hengdu, who remained calm and composed, he was instantly convinced—no wonder she's the chief director and he's just an assistant.

At this moment, facing the camera, the staff member enthusiastically introduced, 'Good morning, dear viewers! I'm Xiao Ming, and today I'm in charge of Miss Ling Yue.'

He said, then whispered, 'Everyone note, our show is fully live, but I only told you—our guests don't know—so you can look forward to seeing what kind of Miss Ling Yue we'll see later.'

He excitedly rubbed his hands, blushing, and said, 'To be honest, I'm a fan of streamer Ling Yue; this is my first time meeting such a great beauty—I'm so excited QWQ.'

In just a few short sentences, the online viewership kept rising; although compared to the previous 'ascension' it's only a snail's pace, it still far exceeded everyone's expectations.

What's surprising is that Ling Yue's livestream had the most viewers—just over 100 million, while the others combined barely surpassed her.

This matter has also been rumored abroad: Ling Yue is said to be the Huge Whale platform's hand‑crafted god, and they have dealt a heavy blow to that claim.

Her over‑100‑million fans are all real people, with extremely high retention; seeing this, the variety‑show platform's head laughed so hard his gums showed.

Dark horse! Absolutely a dark horse!

At this moment, the screen was filled with layers of check‑in flowers, and many people left bullet‑screen comments—

【So happy *^O^*, finally able to see the streamer!】

【First time learning the streamer's home is actually a super luxurious villa—so beautiful!】

【Ahhh the streamer must be super beautiful—I want to feast my eyes!】

Amid the avalanche of flowers, there were also some disparaging remarks.

【A bunch of sycophants—who doesn't know that internet celebrities fade when exposed? A so‑called beauty? Artificial beauties are no different!】

【……What kind of creepy creature?! Early in the morning, truly unlucky!】

【Artificial beauty? Retard!】

【Hehe, don't believe me? Let's bet—if she's the real deal, I'll eat shit upside down!】

【Bet accepted! I'll be waiting to see!】

Just as netizens were deadlocked, the villa's tightly shut doors suddenly opened, and the courtyard scene instantly entered everyone's view——:,,.
