Chapter 22

Qing Liu stayed in the bathroom, preparing herself mentally. Ever since merging with the original owner’s memories, she felt a lot of pressure about revealing her true identity in this live stream show!

Of course, what netizens said about her didn’t matter. After all, she wasn’t truly the original owner. Simply put, she hadn’t fully adjusted to her new identity, and seeing herself online didn’t feel like it was really her, so it didn’t affect her too much.

However, what was really difficult for Qing Liu was that she now had to use this identity to meet those fluffy creatures!

It’s suffocating just thinking about it. What if they suddenly backed out during the confession segment? That would be truly embarrassing!

While Qing Liu was hesitating, the light on her smart wristband blinked, signaling an incoming letter.

When she was still in her cat form, she had worn the wristband around her neck. She hadn’t noticed that the wristband would blink, so she hadn’t realized it was notifying her.

Qing Liu opened the smart brain interface and saw that the message was from “Lilith.”

The woman named Lilith, was the original owner’s manager. Since Qing Liu had the original memories, she now understood Lilith’s past behavior as well.

The original owner came from a poor, desolate planet. Her parents spent all their savings just to buy her a ticket to the main star. The original owner was naive and had never seen a planet as developed and prosperous as the main star. In other words, she hadn’t experienced much of the world and was particularly easy to deceive.

She was tricked into signing with the entertainment company because Lilith told her that as long as she signed, it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t become popular or earn money. The company would provide her with an income certificate. Once she graduated, when her personal contribution value was being evaluated, she could use this certificate to stay on the main star instead of being deported.

The original owner believed this wholeheartedly and trusted Lilith completely. However, as her graduation neared and the contribution value assessment was approaching, the promised certificate still hadn’t arrived.

Then, Lilith asked her to participate as a “black material guest” on “Destined Match,” saying that once the show was over, the certificate would finally be issued.

Qing Liu, having absorbed the original owner’s memories, didn’t fully understand the contribution value assessment rules either. However, combining the memories, she instinctively felt that Lilith didn’t seem like a good person.

Keeping the certificate issue hanging over the original owner’s head while getting her to do things for her—this was clearly suspicious.

Lilith: 【I see you’re still in the bathroom watching the live stream. Don’t come out yet, I’ll come find you.】

When the guests left, their teams came to pick them up, so Lilith, as the manager of the cat, arrived at the scene. The staff immediately cooperated by closing Qing Liu’s personal live stream according to the rules and posted the announcement “Confession preparation in progress, please stay tuned.”

The viewers in the live stream were highly anticipating:

【I thought the cat’s management company was mistreating her, but it turns out they’re just arrived now! How frustrating!】

【So nervous, ahhh, the golden-haired tiger has already appeared, how far can the cat be now!】

【I never expected the true identity of the scheming tiger to be Brother Feng from Extreme Survival next door! My bad, my bad.】

【Big men like small fluffy things, Brother Feng is ready with the roses! I already guessed that Brother Feng’s animal form would be a fierce beast, he’s a rare S-level!】

【Ah, hasn’t anyone noticed that none of the five revealed guests have any scandals?】

【Ah…】

【Emmmmmm…】

【I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it! The cat can’t be the black material guest! I won’t accept it! Roar JPG.】

【Who said they don’t have black history? Didn’t Han Luofeng get officially criticized for exploring a certain deadly sea area?】

【Anyway, the cat can’t be the black material guest! I don’t believe it!】

After Han Luofeng’s true identity was revealed, discussions about the cat were everywhere, both in the main live stream and in each guest’s personal live stream.

In Han Luofeng’s live stream, where he had a closer relationship with the cat, the bullet comments were especially dense.

Han Luofeng came from a top-tier prestigious family. Since the construction of Sky City, the Han family has been one of the four major families. When Han Luofeng’s mental power awakened to S-level, the Han family’s influence reached its peak.

S-level mental power is extremely rare. In the era of interstellar wars, an S-level was the rank of planetary commanders, capable of leading interstellar battles and becoming part of star history.

Now, in times of peace, civilians are not forced into military service, so Han Luofeng chose a different path. He took over his family’s business and developed a passion for extreme polar exploration.

Although he wasn’t an entertainer and had no plans to enter the entertainment industry, his polar exploration live streams became extremely popular. As a result, the Han family established a studio for him and assembled a professional team within the industry.

Han Luofeng’s popularity continued to rise, and as of now, he already has over 10 billion followers on StarNet.

Originally, the golden-haired tiger and the cat had a sweet relationship that fans were really invested in. But now that the golden-haired tiger’s identity as Han Luofeng has been revealed, and the last guest, the cat, may very well be the black material guest, fans of their ship were about to break down.

【Don’t worry, didn’t you forget what Brother Feng said when he left and did his solo interview with the show’s crew?】

【Brother Feng said, “Even if the other person has black material, or has had many boyfriends, I don’t mind! What matters to me is the compatibility between the two of us!”】

【Hahaha, right, Brother Feng also said, “Who hasn’t encountered a few scumbags when they were young?” This must have been said for the cat, right? I’ve already taken it as a given! Now I’m already protecting my wife! Our ‘platinum CP’ is the best!】

Han Luofeng stood at the entrance of the villa garden, not aware of the viewers’ thoughts in the live stream. When he accepted the solo interview, he had indeed said those things because the staff had brought up old questions, asking him how he would feel if the other person had a lot of scandals or ex-boyfriends.

As soon as Han Luofeng heard the question, he realized the show was just trying to stir up drama for the ratings.

But when he thought about the cat, he imagined how adorable she must be, and how many people would like her. So, considering her from school to work, having a few boyfriends was entirely normal. He said those words, but he didn’t expect them to cause such a stir online, even earning him a large fanbase of “wife fans.”

Han Luofeng turned his head and saw Lilith not far away, with the white-haired girl following her.

Lilith and the girl didn’t come towards the villa but, upon spotting Han Luofeng, Lilith’s eyes quickly shifted away, and she hurriedly led the white-haired girl to the side of the villa, entering the temporary meeting room prepared by the production crew, which was not under surveillance.

Han Luofeng furrowed his brow in confusion. He didn’t know Lilith, but the girl following her immediately made him think of the cat. However, it was just a thought, and he wasn’t foolish enough to assume the girl was the cat.

Han Luofeng’s mental power level was high. He didn’t even need to look carefully to sense the very different aura compared to the cat.

The cat gave him the impression of having very weak mental energy, almost nonexistent. So, he knew her mental power was likely at the lowest level, such as D-level or even lower than D-level.

However, the white-haired girl had much stronger mental energy.

Han Luofeng paused for a moment in silence, then decided to follow. He felt something was off about the appearance of someone who looked so much like the cat at this moment.

His assistant, who had been following him, hesitated before quietly asking, “Brother Feng, aren’t you going up?”

Han Luofeng had arrived a bit late, and the other guests had already gone upstairs.

As Han Luofeng’s assistant, he had been closely watching the live stream dynamics.

Han Luofeng turned to him and asked, looking at the assistant’s smart device, “Did the cat arrive?”

The assistant quickly replied, “Her live stream just closed. The production team said she went to prepare.”

Han Luofeng thought for a moment, “Just closed, huh?”

The assistant nodded, knowing Han Luofeng liked the cat, so he had been keeping a close eye on her updates.

“It just closed a few minutes ago,” the assistant emphasized.

Han Luofeng stared at the door to the office in the distance for a moment, then said to his assistant, “Wait for me here.”

On the other side, Qing Liu was hesitating as she looked at the message from Lilith. She slowly opened the door and stepped out. Lilith had asked the girl to wait in the meeting room beside the villa while she hurried inside to find Qing Liu.

As soon as Qing Liu opened the door, Lilith shoved it open forcefully and strode in, slamming the door behind her with a loud bang.

Qing Liu was momentarily stunned, not sure why Lilith was acting so sneakily.

Her live stream ball had already been turned off.

Lilith closed the door, crossed her arms, and looked at Qing Liu, her face stern as she asked, “Why did you change to human form?”

Qing Liu was puzzled and replied, “What else should I do? The cat can’t confess in that form.”

Lilith stared at Qing Liu in surprise, astonished that she would actually argue back.

However, there was no time for further conversation, and Lilith didn’t want to waste time here.

Instead of looking for Zhang Song, she came to find Qing Liu first, wanting to persuade her before going to Zhang Song. She figured that when Qing Liu couldn’t live stream anymore, Zhang Song would definitely agree to her proposal for the sake of the show continuing normally.

Lilith frowned as she looked at Qing Liu—white hair, green eyes, delicate features, and a slender figure. Her external appearance was very impressive.

It was this very quality that had caught Lilith’s attention when she first signed Qing Liu to the company. She thought with such excellent conditions, even if Qing Liu didn’t become famous, it would be easy to get the attention of influential people. Yet, two years had passed, and there was still no progress.

Lilith took a bottle of drink from her bag and handed it to Qing Liu, her tone softening, “Here, drink it. Let’s sit down and talk.”

Qing Liu, recalling Lilith’s character, didn’t believe she had good intentions in offering her the drink.

She took the bottle but held it in her hand and asked, “Sister Lilith, can I drink this? It won’t affect my live stream, right?”

Lilith was taken aback. She smiled gently and said, “Of course, why would I harm you?”

Qing Liu gave a noncommittal “Oh,” and looked at Lilith with a half-smile, not moving from her spot.

Lilith, slightly irritated, asked, “Why aren’t you drinking?”

Qing Liu responded, “Didn’t Sister Lilith have something to say? I’ll listen to what you want to say first, and then decide whether to drink or not.”

Lilith was left speechless.
