Chapter 231

Jun Jun opened the door; when the other animals informed Ling Yue, he was the first to come downstairs. His handsome looks made people hold their breath—even Xiao Ming, also male, couldn't help feeling a moment of inferiority.

Jun Jun gave a self‑introduction.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming stared wide‑eyed, momentarily unable to speak—such a handsome guy turned out to be the guest's assistant.

At that moment, the netizens immersed in male beauty noticed something else and couldn't help exclaiming—

【Wow, what a huge cat‑tree!】

【What? What cat‑tree?】

【Look ahead!】

The spacious courtyard was already bright with spring blossoms.

On one side, on the osmanthus tree that had sprouted tender green shoots, kitten after kitten lay on the branches, their round, multicolored fur fluffy and soft, as if naturally growing there, soft and puffy, like one fluffy cloud after another.

A gentle ray of sunlight fell; the cats, drawn by the movement, instantly widened their round eyes and all turned their heads toward the film crew.

This scene was like a golden arrow whooshing straight into everyone's hearts—an adorable strike!

Whether it was the crew members present on site or the netizens watching the screen, they couldn't help exclaiming—

"Is this… heaven?"

What heaven?

The Black Cat Queen perched in the tree tilted her head, leapt down agilely, and as she passed them she casually placed a paw on the clueless staff member Xiao Ming's head.

Though it is a black cat, its glossy fur, in the light, shows a pure reddish‑brown hue.

Ling Yue had told the animals in the courtyard a few days earlier that some strangers would be coming to the house, and they had been given preventive shots in advance.

So, there wasn't much of a commotion.

After landing, the Black Cat Queen arched her back; beneath her sleek short fur, her toned muscles rippled, and her swift, heroic stance flashing on camera left countless viewers swooning.

It darted forward agilely, letting out a meow; behind it, the cats in the tree stretched and leapt down from the osmanthus tree.

Orange, white‑and‑black, tortoiseshell, calico and cats of every pattern gathered into a flowing, colorful river, all heading in the same direction as the camera moved forward on its own.

That was—

The soft sunlight fell, completely becoming her backdrop.

Ling Yue stood at the doorway, her exquisite features fully exposed in the sunlight; she stood there like a blazing, scorching sun, her stunning beauty too dazzling to look at directly.

The Black Cat Queen leapt into Ling Yue's arms, holding the mysterious beauty of the black cat, stunning countless people's years and moments.

The excited barrage of comments vanished completely, receding like a tide; after an unknown amount of time, someone finally posted a message.

【Ladies, what are you still staring at? Take screenshots!】

【Ahhh, I'm blown away! Absolutely gorgeous—I'm dying! I'm dying!】

【Who just said it's fake? Come fight me! If you've got the ability, go get one yourself; if you can't, I'll smash your head!】

Ling Yue's fans laughed loudly at their computers, while the earlier detractors fell silent.

No one paid attention to all those excited praises anymore; everyone kept taking screenshots. This perfect, timely composition far surpassed human limits—it could only be called a divine stroke.

The live‑stream room's traffic also surged like it had been shot with hormones in an instant, quickly surpassing the rooms of the previously leading movie‑emperor and movie‑empress.

The soft, mewing voice brought the crowd back to their senses; Xiao Ming gave a light cough, and for some reason his voice came out gentle: "Ling Yue, hello."

He had a baby‑faced look, seeming young, but he was actually a veteran staffer at the station—able to handle any situation, yet this time he was nervous and excited.

Racking his brains, he could only think of one line of poetry: "I dare not speak loudly, lest I startle the heavenly beings."

The person before him was a heavenly being.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of this trip; after a brief introduction, Ling Yue led them inside, where the house was spotless—even the floor was free of dust.

Xiao Ming: "The show's schedule has already been sent over. Today is day one; we've come to pick you and your pets up for the filming location. Do you have anything you need to bring…"

His chatty manner really made people jealous.

【I seriously suspect he's being so talkative just to chat a few more words with the beautiful sister—it's killing me with envy!】

【How did Xiao Ming become like this? Where's his bottom line? His morals? His dignity? All I want to say is, let go of the beautiful sister and let me have her!】

【I signed up first, so I'm first!】

【【Scream】【Crawl】【Voice hoarse from exhaustion】【Beauty clinging】【Holding a rose】【Holding a rose】【Hehehehehe】】

【Just came in and got tripped; I looked down and the floor was covered in tea dregs—please, put on some clothes!】

As for Xiao Ming himself, he was on the verge of tearing up and crushing the rules, afraid of offending the beauty; it really is the director's piss‑poor nature, truly unsettling.

Suddenly a chill ran down his back; he turned his head, his neck feeling like a rusted gear, as if he could hear a creaking clack‑clack.

The handsome male assistant stared at him; Xiao Ming laughed, "Hahaha, it's not early anymore—let's pack up and head out."

This live stream left viewers in awe—the villa's small animals and Ling Yue herself, the clever brave crow, the mysterious Black Cat Queen, the adorable precise treasure‑seeking mouse Xunbao Shu Duo Duo, and tree after tree of cats and birds, and so on… Ling Yue's home was like a miniature ecological park.

As Xiao Ming spoke, some people began to wonder what the guest actually was this time.

This was also a deliberate arrangement by the production team—a little gimmick to attract viewers; they wondered what pet their favorite idol would bring.

【It must be the Black Cat Queen—mysterious beauty buffs stacked, simply gorgeous enough to make one cry!】

【Can I bring a feng shui fish? Damn, I've raised fish for years and never seen such superb quality—it's purple, as if it's about to become an immortal!】

【I love the crow—nothing else, just love its loud voice!】

The netizens all started speculating.

At the same time, the assistant director backstage, seeing the online traffic, was grinning ear to ear; at first he was dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's delay, knowing that even the two biggest stars, with the best‑arranged staff, had finished their shifts, yet when it came to Ling Yue's slot, the time slot was actually the longest.

Later, his dissatisfaction dissolved completely amid the persistently high traffic.

He even wished Xiao Ming would say a bit more.

What a pity—

He shook his head and patiently kept watching.

By then Ling Yue already knew the live stream had started; after hearing the online guesses, she suddenly curled the corner of her mouth, shook her head, and smiled, saying, "No, none of them."

【What is that?】

This sentence represented the feelings of all netizens, yet Ling Yue pointed to the past, on the soft mat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a large piece of purple sandalwood-colored stone instantly came into view.

Countless people were stunned.

The large stone suddenly moved, revealing short, sturdy limbs and a head, and the netizens realized that it was actually a turtle as big as a grinding stone.

【Feng Shui turtle! How does the streamer's house have everything!】

With so many people watching online, there were always one or two who recognized the true identity of the Feng Shui turtle master, and they were instantly shocked beyond words.

Others looked at Ling Yue, the soft and absolutely beautiful young lady, and the heavy, ancient Feng Shui turtle, and unexpectedly produced a strange contrast of cuteness.

【Holy shit, such a huge turtle! Absolutely a heavyweight contender!】

A black fan quietly popped up: 【This turtle looks too old, can it still crawl?】

【Upstairs, don't leave, you're just the little troll from earlier, hurry up and start the live stream!】

【Upstairs must be an idiot, it's old? A thousand-year turtle, ten-thousand-year softshell, it could support you in your old age and see you through to the end!】

【But it's also too big, right?】

Coincidentally, this sentence was also seen by the staff, who couldn't help muttering under their breath.

At this moment, the Feng Shui turtle master was adjusting its posture, basking in the sun so comfortably that its body felt limp, so it appeared slow and sluggish, perfectly matching everyone's image of a turtle.

"This is practically slower than a koala."

Upon hearing this, it turned its head away, its eyes scanning the crowd, wondering who was questioning me.

Because the live broadcast hadn't officially started, Ling Yue learned of the doubt from Xiao Ming, and she instantly laughed: 'Well—'

She hadn't had a chance to explain when a sudden sound rang out, interrupting her.

Ling Yue and the staff looked over together——

Ribbit ribbit——

The slow-moving Feng Shui turtle now propped up its limbs, its short, sturdy limbs pushing against the smooth, reflective floor, and everyone who saw this had only one word in their minds—'walking as if flying!'

By the time everyone reacted, it had already run to Ling Yue's side, loudly calling out: 'Who just said I can't run fast? Come forward!'

Because turtles lack vocal cords, its call sounded to others like frantic panting.

The people who had been stunned just now finally reacted.

On the screen of the live broadcast room, there was a wave of shock.

【Holy shit holy shit holy shit, who said it's old and can't move, it runs faster than me!】

【Awesome!】

【What kind of Feng Shui turtle is this, it's clearly a fire wheel! 【thumbs up】【thumbs up】】

【Hello everyone, I am the Feng Shui turtle, I bring salt for myself ^O^】

The Feng Shui turtle proved with its own actions that the little turtle is still young, notions of old and slow simply don't exist! They're all slander!

When getting in the car, the production crew wanted to put it in the trunk, but Ling Yue opened the car door; the high-clearance vehicle, in everyone's eyes, should have been a considerable challenge for the Feng Shui turtle, yet it pushed off with its whole body and got into the car more easily than a person.

This refers to the earlier-born filming crew member, who, being too fascinated by the turtle, bumped his head against the car door when getting in, causing netizens to burst into laughter, and the viewership once again climbed a little **.

Su Cheng PD, that is, the program's planner, sat upright with proper posture, eyes narrowing as he watched the live broadcast room's screen, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The segment he designed hasn't even started yet, and already there's so much comedy—who wouldn't like it?

The car quickly entered the airport, arriving at the VIP lounge; Ling Yue arrived just as everyone else had already gathered, she pushed open the door, and all eyes turned toward her in unison.

Ling Yue greeted everyone generously; at that moment, the five live broadcast rooms merged into one within moments, a massive amount of traffic gathered together, some felt excited and happy, while naturally others felt disdainful.

Most of the criticism was directed at Ling Yue, after all, who made her the only one among them not mingling in the entertainment industry.

Ordinary people might be somewhat better off, after all the gap is too huge, but who made her an internet celebrity, an extremely famous one at that, causing many fans to be furious.

This is the natural bias of star-chasing fans toward internet celebrities.

However, due to Ling Yue's massive fanbase, this matter was nipped in the bud as soon as it sprouted, basically causing no ripple.

At this moment, Ling Yue didn't know that her gaze, like a dragonfly skimming water, swept over the crowd, because it was only the first day of filming, the production team hadn't prepared for official shooting yet, time was ample, and the guests' pets were all indoors, not yet having undergone air transport.

What she saw basically matched the data she had previously gathered.

The entertainment industry's famous veteran official Qin Mingwei, whose special trait is his pet, which is actually a Husky famous for destroying homes, with three flames on his forehead, pure color, fur feeling cool, at this moment he was panting heavily, lying on the ground.

Noticing her gaze, the Husky blinked, then its wise big eyes stared at her: 'Human, have you also been bewitched by me?'

The Husky scratched its ears and continued: 'Too bad I already have an owner. Although I also like you, we can't be together, so I'll just allow you to admire my sturdy physique—don't even think about anything else >3<'

Ling Yue: '(>_<)'

The movie emperor is clearly a gentle and modest veteran official, how did their dog end up with a genetic mutation!

First-line actress Song Youli held a white rabbit, which was focused on eating, nervous as if slightly stressed.

When it came to top-tier star Xu He, Ling Yue's gaze lingered, she looked deeply at him—his face as white as snow, features exquisite, with her keen eyesight she could clearly see the thick layer of makeup on his face.

Suddenly, the term 'cream boy' popped into Ling Yue's mind.

His pet is a pure black cat, half-lidded, crouched in a cat bag, its pale yellow pupils like clear, moving yellow crystal, appearing somewhat languid, looking as if about to doze off.

There was still some time before the plane took off; Ling Yue looked for an empty seat in the VIP cabin, preparing to rest a bit.

The calm and quiet Rutian suddenly lifted her eyes, gently greeting her, pointing to a nearby empty seat: 'Ling Yue, come sit here with me, I still have an empty spot.'

Ling Yue smiled, about to thank her, when a sharp cat cry suddenly rang out——

I haven't died yet, let me die! ：，，.
