Chapter 241

This is an anti-theft chapter, subscription not enough, oh little cutie~ Customers are full of complaints, Ling Yue is not someone who only looks at money.

Seeing her not speak, Bald Strong got a little anxious; this was the best live-stream effect he'd had in years, just a moment ago the backend tips already amounted to several tens of thousands.

Orca Platform

As for whether they wanted to see the shop owner or see the anti-fake exposé, that is unknown.

He hurriedly said, "I know, boss, you have rules here; take fifty thousand, I'll be the last one."

Moreover, boss, I'm live-streaming; I also have nearly a million fans on the Orca platform, I'll give your shop publicity and promotion—others may invite me, but I won't come.

Guangtou Qiang gave a kind smile, but with his face full of flesh, it made people feel even less like a good person.

Ling Yue gave him a deep look, remembering the Orca Live stream. She naturally saw his intention and knew he wouldn't give up easily, saying, "Then you'll have to wait a moment."

"As for this fifty thousand." She turned her head to look at Dahei; the dog obediently carried a small blackboard, walked through the path made by the crowd, and it fit perfectly on the rack outside the door.

Ling Yue's newly announced rule: besides ten consultations a day, there are three advanced consultations, each costing ten thousand.

Seeing this, Guangtou Qiang felt relieved: "Then I'll pay fifty thousand for one advanced consultation!"

His mind was already active; spending fifty thousand for such popularity, he felt he'd made a killing! Even the live stream audience called the host generous, saying fifty thousand is given as said.

As for the later advanced consultation, Guangtou Qiang hehe laughed; seeing his appearance, his familiar netizens all knew this guy was up to something sneaky.

Guangtou Qiang can have nearly a million fans on Orca Live, enough to prove his ability; each time he exposes fraud, his ideas keep coming, making people call it exhilarating.

【This kid has always been sly as hell!】

【The shop owner is about to have terrible luck, what a waste of a great beauty.】

Guangtou Qiang watched from the side; Ling Yue seemed not nervous, her calm and composed demeanor and her almost divine consultation process left the live stream netizens utterly amazed.

【What's up with this cat? Even the poop scooper dares not touch it, yet it rolls over when seeing her—could it be a dog turned into a cat?!】

【Holy crap, just the time I turned to grab something, how did the disabled dog recover? Is the shop owner an immortal?】

【Hey brother up front, you didn't see—the dog was just pretending, deceiving its owner, but the shop owner saw through it at a glance and exposed it with a chicken leg!】

The live stream netizens were shouting with excitement; in the blink of an eye, it was Guangtou Qiang's turn. The surrounding customers didn't leave; instead, they gathered even more.

People love to join the fun; hearing that a near‑million‑follower big streamer from the Orca platform is challenging the shop owner, they can't help but bring a small stool to watch the showdown.

The gossip crowd was even more peculiar, munching melon seeds, pleasing to the eye—of course, mainly to watch the shop owner. Ling Yue's hair wasn't a strand out of place; her earlier smooth consultation put pressure on Guangtou Qiang, maybe the shop owner truly has real skill?

He glanced at the bottom‑right corner of his phone; popularity had jumped nearly tenfold from before, now several million. Guangtou Qiang's eyes almost popped out, his heart bursting with joy!

Guangtou Qiang: "I want to buy a pet; I don't know if the shop manager can recommend one."

As soon as he said that, many netizens laughed.

Anyone who follows his old fans knows that Guangtou Qiang has no affinity with animals; whenever they see his animals, they run faster than anything.

This is indeed a tough problem.

Ling Yue: "Any other requirements?"

Guangtou Qiang hehe laughed: "No, I don't pick anything; I just want to find a small animal that catches my eye—this request isn't too much, right?"

He said, then his eyes suddenly narrowed, relying on his sturdy physique, he said: "But if you can't do it, you'll have to close the shop—don't deceive everyone here!"

【The streamer is starting to trick people again!】

【No requirements at all, yet you want something that catches your eye—this isn't like finding a needle in a haystack? The shop owner is doomed.】

【Brother Qiang is just full of a strong sense of justice; I watched earlier and felt it was too fake—could there really be such an amazing skill? It must be fake! All those are plants hired by the shop owner!】

【"What Zhang Wuji's mother said is right: the prettier the woman, the better she lies."】 Finally, this person, seemingly having suffered some emotional hurt, spoke with extra extremism.

The live stream was filled with pessimism; Ling Yue didn't know, and the opponent's pressure felt nothing to her—she just stared fixedly at them.

I don't know why, but at this moment Guangtou Qiang felt flustered and uneasy, as if she could see through him—even the X‑rays in the hospital aren't as sharp as Ling Yue's gaze!

Ling Yue went out, entered the pet shop. Hearing her purpose and seeing a crowd gathering, the shop owner also found it odd, cheerfully greeting: "Just look around, pick whichever you like."

As soon as Ling Yue stepped inside, she heard all kinds of noises, completely unfazed: "Anyone want an owner?"

The cats and dogs looked fearfully at the towering big man, straining to lift their heads just to see a human face; after seeing it clearly, they became even more fierce.

"No way, no way! I don't want him as my owner—he's too fierce!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, so scared, so scared, the demon king is here!"

"Tch, this human is so ugly, not even worthy of me!" The silver‑tabby in the pet cage licked its paw, not even glancing.

The cats and dogs shrank into a ball from fright; Guangtou Qiang's face showed a smile, he lightly coughed: "All good?"

Just then, Ling Yue suddenly walked toward the corner.

There, a snow‑white long‑haired cat lay on the cage, its sea‑blue clear eyes gazing dreamily at Guangtou Qiang; its paws were soft pink, pressed against the wire like a deformed Q‑elastic jelly: "Is this going to be my future owner? He looks so strong, the cat really likes him!"

"That's the one."

Ling Yue suddenly spoke up; after holding it out, she made everyone's eyes pop wide open.

A pure‑white long‑haired cat, like a little fairy maiden unfamiliar with the world—or rather, a little fairy cat fallen into the mortal realm, exuding an ethereal aura and adorable to the extreme.

"Is this the pet you're giving me?" Guangtou Qiang expressed doubt with his words, but his eyes were glued to it, unable to look away.

"Meow~"

No one expected the kitten to call out sweetly, then step lightly onto Guangtou Qiang's size‑42 shoe—it's still not even as big as a man's foot!

"Hello, owner~"

The gossip crowd was so shocked their melons dropped without them noticing—the fierce, strong burly man and the pampered fairy cat, beauty and beast, this combo is so contrasting it makes people's eyes pop out!

Guangtou Qiang almost got melted by its cuteness, but in the end he steeled himself and said: "Cough cough, this kitten really isn't shy, but how do you know whether it likes me or not?"

Ling Yue clapped her hands, attracting the kitten's attention: "Kitty, if you like your new owner, make a heart sign—raise your little paws and press them together."

The melon-eating crowd was stunned—making a heart? What a joke!

A shocking scene appeared: the kitten calmly stepped onto the shoe, its two front paws raised high above its head, its pink little paws pressed together—indeed forming a tiny heart!

It also let out a sweet, coquettish cry, acting all cute and spoiled.

Not to mention Guangtou Qiang, even all the onlookers were stunned; the shopkeeper opened his mouth wide: "Holy shit, this kitten is only a month old—I haven't taught it anything! How could it make a heart sign!"

Ling Yue looked at Guangtou Qiang: "Looks like it really likes you. Do you like it?"

Guangtou Qiang's face showed hesitation; deep down, he had already been completely captivated by this heart-shaped cat, but he hadn't forgotten that he came to debunk fraud—how could debunking turn into getting slapped in the face instead!

At that moment, the long-haired white cat weakly curled into a ball, nestling at his feet, soft and spoiled like a puddle of water: "Owner, quickly hug me~ (づ′▽`)づ"

"Blood! He's bleeding!" someone shouted.

The livestream audience only then realized the streamer actually had a nosebleed!

【Holy shit, is this too exciting!】

【I still remember I came to watch the debunking, what's going on now?】

【This cat is so spiritual; if the streamer doesn't like it, I'll pay money and buy it from them!】

Guangtou Qiang lowered his head and touched it; two streams of wetness under his nose, his fingers covered in red blood—he, a tough, iron-willed man, actually got a nosebleed from the cuteness!

Ling Yue: "You don't want it? If not—"

"I want it!"

Guangtou Qiang's heart tightened; he immediately bent over and picked up the kitten, as if holding a fragile crystal ball: "I also really like it. Shall I call you Snowball? Snowball, you're so pretty."

What a good partner, even gave it a name—this isn't just liking, what else could it be?

This reversal made the livestream netizens burst out laughing; what the hell kind of debunking is this—it's literally a livestream face-slap, and they're the ones getting slapped!

Because of his recklessness, Guangtou Qiang paid a heavy price—nearly a million followers dropped by tens of thousands in an instant; not only did he not climb over others to rise, he ended up making a wedding dress for Ling Yue.

After this incident, Ling Yue became completely famous.

However, when the netizens drawn by the hype arrived at the destination, they found the place closed; unwilling to have made the trip for nothing, they asked the nearby shop owner.

The shop owner glanced over: "Ling Yue? She's off work."

"It's written on the blackboard: fifteen orders a day, but she's so capable she finished early and closed up—come back tomorrow."

The netizens who had come especially: "……"

At noon, in the old residential area's complex alleys, a faint squeaking sound suddenly rang out.

"Go forward, turn right, keep going; in front of the house where things are hidden, there's a big willow tree, especially huge—three people can't even embrace it."

Ling Yue heard this, and a hint of complex expression appeared on her face.

From the special pet bag she was carrying, a little head peeked out furtively—sure enough, it was the treasure-seeking rat; this guy looked especially excited.

After walking just a few minutes, the view suddenly opened up; a dilapidated courtyard appeared around the corner, before it a thick, big willow tree with lush branches and leaves—this was exactly the place the treasure-seeking rat Duo Duo had mentioned.

Ling Yue: "……"

This is too much of a coincidence.

After hearing her words, the treasure-seeking rat froze, holding up its two paws: "Owner, you said this is the Wang family's residence?"

"I thought it was just an abandoned empty courtyard."

Ling Yue looked at the house and sighed a little: "Calling it an abandoned courtyard isn't far off; I heard my mother say that decades ago, the Wang family seized someone else's courtyard, caused a death, was deemed unlucky, so the Wang family never moved in. It looks like it hasn't been repaired for decades, and these few rooms are about to collapse."

To call it a house is already generous; what's before us is just a pile of ruins.

Crows kept watch overhead; Ling Yue used basic martial arts to nimbly scale the wall and enter.

Under the treasure-seeking rat's guidance, in the dust-filled center of the house, rats had already dug a half-meter-wide round hole; the treasure-seeking rat stood with hands on hips, immensely proud: "Hey, what's this? I, the great elder, gave a shout, and my little rat brothers dug it out in just a few days."

It looked at Ling Yue: "Owner, should we move it out now?"

Ling Yue nodded, but looking at the dug-out hole, she didn't want to jump down at all. Her gaze fell on the treasure-seeking rat: "Owner, I have a favor to ask you—there's meat to eat."

The treasure-seeking rat's small eyes instantly gleamed, it sniffed: "What's the matter?"

Ten minutes later, Ling Yue felt her scalp go numb as she looked at the ground beneath her feet.

A sea of grayish-brown huge rats flooded the courtyard; several were especially fat and strong, yet now they lay prostrate beneath the golden, delicate paws of the treasure-seeking rat.

Only around her, the rats formed a one-meter-wide empty zone, like a thunder pool, daring not to overstep.

Under the treasure-seeking rat's ear-pulling and face-to-face orders, the rats were unusually quiet, until the treasure-seeking rat raised its arms and shouted: "Little ones, want to eat meat?"

Pair after pair of rat eyes glowed green.

"If you want meat, follow me down and haul up everything down there!"

Because there were too many rats, as they moved, Ling Yue felt the ground seem to vibrate; a few minutes later, boxes of various sizes were lifted out together by their combined effort.:,,.
