Chapter 111

One minute later, Chu Yuanqing stopped coughing up blood.

Two minutes later, Chu Yuanqing's bones stopped aching.

Three minutes later, Chu Yuanqing's internal organs and heart stopped convulsing.

Four minutes later, the magic power within Chu Yuanqing's Lantern Pendant was fully restored.

Five minutes later, the rate at which Chu Yuanqing's soul was crushed by the curse decreased by 200%.

Six minutes later, Chu Yuanqing regained her senses and looked blankly at the Golden Haired Doggy that was right in front of her, its face flushed red from the kiss, its eyes brimming with tears, and it was almost collapsing on the ground. Her mind was blank with shame, and she wished she could commit suicide to atone for her sins.

Xie Qingxuan's face showed neither shame nor anger, only a dazed expression, as if she were still immersed in the long, lingering pleasure, unable to fully detach herself, and even showing a hint of reluctance. She asked breathlessly:

"Xiao Qing, are you really... alright...?"

Chu Yuanqing watched guiltily as the Golden Haired Doggy finished eating her lipstick and then kissed her swollen, moist lips hard. Kneeling on the ground, suppressing her remorse, she lied:

"Yes, I'm perfectly healthy."

Xie Qingxuan was a little confused. Recalling the taste of their first kiss, she suddenly realized:

"So the blood you coughed up was fake blood? No wonder it tasted so sweet, like a mixture of honey grapefruit and a bunch of fruit tea."

Chu Yuanqing felt somewhat ashamed; what respectable person's blood would taste so strange?

But in order to convince the Golden Haired Doggy, she had no choice but to nod earnestly:

"Yes, that's right."

Xie Qingxuan touched his lips and asked:

"And your eyes and hair?"

Chu Yuanqing continued to spout nonsense:

"Colored contact lenses, and instant hair dye."

Although this reason is utterly absurd, and the behind-the-scenes footage makes no sense, a normal person couldn't survive vomiting that much blood, and given that Golden Haired Doggy generally quite innocent, there's still hope of getting away with it.

Xie Qingxuan thought for a moment, then continued to ask:

"Xiao Qing, do you really like kissing?"

Chu Yuanqing was speechless, feeling both guilty and embarrassed. His toes curled up, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

What should I do? If I say I like him, wouldn't that be like publicly coming out as gay and admitting I'm a girl?

It's okay to admit it, since she couldn't possibly like men anyway, so calling her a neodymium copper is quite reasonable.

The problem is that even neodymium wouldn't just randomly grab someone and kiss them for six minutes. From a normal person's perspective, this behavior can generally only lead to two conclusions.

1. The Ultimate Pervert.

Second, they've fallen for the other person and are confessing their feelings in a very novel way.

The former ruined her personal image and had the air of a super scumbag woman.

The latter is even worse. It would be better if Xie Qingxuan refused, but if she agreed, she would have no way to take responsibility, nor would she dare to. She might as well just admit that she started something and then abandoned it, and that she is an extremely bad woman.

Chu Yuanqing was caught in a dilemma and awkwardly evaded the question:

"It's alright, not that bad."

Xie Qingxuan's thought process was very straightforward. She didn't feel like she had been confessed to at all. Instead, she felt that Chu Yuanqing was taking revenge for her mischief on stage last time.

But this revenge was clearly a failure, because not only did she not feel uncomfortable, she also enjoyed six happy minutes.

This made the naturally Golden Haired Doggy feel it was unfair. Always very polite, she raised her innocent eyes, looked at the white-haired, golden-eyed girl, and asked:

"Want to touch it?"

"... Where should I touch?"

"Anywhere is fine."

This conversation was like a thunderclap, booming in the little head.

Especially Xie Qingxuan's stunning figure in "Flash Dance," paired with her light and casual tone, creates an extremely alluring charm.

Chu Yuanqing was stunned.

Huh? What happened? Are we already fast-forwarding to this point?

She shook her head violently, terrified, and quickly apologized.

"It might sound ridiculous, but I really didn't mean to kiss you. I just did it for some reasons that I can't say directly. I'm really sorry if I offended you. If you're willing, I'll make it up to you in any way I can."

Xie Qingxuan blinked, somewhat confused.

She wasn't angry at all. Regardless of who had the malicious intent first, even without the misunderstanding, she didn't like being kissed. After learning that Chu Yuanqing was unharmed, she only felt genuine relief and joy.

After a moment's thought, the Golden Haired Doggy suddenly realized the "truth" from a different perspective.

Xiao Qing has always been a good girl with a high sense of morality. She would push herself to keep up with the training progress without any complaints, and she didn't interfere at all with the choice to challenge the double A strong team in the early stage.

Such a person is naturally hesitant to retaliate, and may even feel guilty afterward.

Therefore, from a psychological and sociological perspective, she cannot simply choose to forgive, otherwise the other party will overthink things. She needs to appropriately "punish" him to naturally resolve his inner conflict.

Xie Qingxuan thought for a moment, then said understandingly:

"I actually really enjoy kissing Xiao Qing. If you feel bad about it, let's make an equal exchange. For as long as Xiao Qing kissed me today, I'll kiss you for the same amount of time, okay?"

Chu Yuanqing wanted to refuse; she really didn't want to take advantage of the other person, and if things continued to develop, wouldn't it turn into what they call "lip-to-lip friendship" online?

Upon closer reflection, although it crossed the line of morality, even if she could go back six minutes, she couldn't find a more effective way to deal with it than kissing.

This kiss prevented the Witch's full form from being revealed; the uniquely scented blood, in turn, dispelled some suspicion; it triggered a long-term Magic Replenishment mechanism, erasing all the aftereffects and making up for some of the lifespan lost due to the curse.

It kills three birds with one stone and offers excellent value for money.

In the past, she would never have even considered such a shameless mechanism as Magic Replenishment, but now that she knows the world is still in crisis, picking it up has become an unavoidable choice.

This is a necessary sacrifice for saving the world.

Chu Yuanqing tried her best to Self-hypnosis. She listened to the crackling sounds of her heart breaking, pursed her lips, and nodded her head shyly, which was taken as consent.

Afterwards, Xie Qingxuan washed his hands and, after confirming that the other person was unharmed, politely left the bathroom, saying that they would meet in the practice room later to draw the dance music for this stage together.

Chu Yuanqing then removed his Magic Armor, disguised his hair and eye color, cleaned up the bloodstains in the bathroom, checked his appearance in the mirror, and used magic to reshape the Lantern Pendant into the shape of Mobius Ring. He then let out a long sigh and looked serious.

From today onward, she can no longer approach this talent show, which hides many secrets, with the same attitude she used to have—slacking off and just trying to get paid.

Currently, she has countless questions in her mind that need to be answered.

The specifics of the [Calamity Beasts], how many people worldwide have lost their lives because of them, the purpose of <Flash Dance> binding magical artifacts to A-Class players, and... the secret of how <Flash Dance> uses [Calamity Species] to develop [Flow State].

As for actions, she could no longer let her Little Cotton-padded Jacket grow up unchecked; she had to keep a close eye on the child's movements and ideally stay with her in a group to prevent any accidents.

Finally, and most importantly, how does she become a super popular idol?

Outside world.

The Weibo jointly posted by Kiriwake Yayoi and Chu Yuanqing were discovered by their respective fans in less than ten minutes, and the comment section was filled with question marks.

This Weibo is in the form of a nine-grid image, with photos mostly taken during the shooting of an advertisement. These include, but are not limited to, kissing under an umbrella, putting veils on each other at the beach, taking wedding photos together against a red background, and even a series of iconic scenes that would leave Solo Fan fans speechless.

The copywriting is even more outrageous, directly copying the last sentence of the advertisement.

[You have the right to love anyone.]

You have the right to love anyone.

In an instant, a tsunami of public opinion swept across the world.

PS: I'm speechless. How can you keep throwing money like this? Good heavens, I've already thrown two thousand! It's about time I stopped, folks, I think that's enough!

Volume 1: Chapter 115. Little Sakura won too much, a three-person dance. (5K1 votes requested)

When Chu Yuanqing's fans saw that their idol had finally posted on Weibo, they were overjoyed and wanted to pop open champagne to celebrate. They then went to carefully read what exactly their idol had Weibo.

Heaven have mercy, did the kids they pushed finally remember they have a Weibo account?

Just kidding, heaven knows how long they've been waiting for this moment. Haven't you seen the coolest Great Demon King next door? You can find tons of material on her Weibo. They even dug up videos of her practicing dance in elementary school!

Only my own Qing Bao, her past life was like that of a nobody. Apart from a few candid photos of her working and her ID photo from school, you can't even get any information from her classmates when you interview them, let alone her empty Weibo account.

Simply put, things were fine when I was a regular live streamer.

But once "Flash Dance" stops airing, Chu Yuanqing's fans will sadly discover that their Little Idol has virtually no background to dig up. No matter how much Ancient Capital, they can only conclude that this kid is poor and pitiful, has to work every day, and is very withdrawn.

Once this conclusion was reached, everyone couldn't help but discuss it with each other. But the more they discussed it, the more they felt that they lacked the nourishment of their Little Idol. Their inner "Qing Bao" energy was almost depleted, and they felt like there were Dream Weaver Rabbit crawling all over their bodies, making them unbearably itchy!

It's important to understand that Chu Yuanqing's Weibo itself isn't important; what's truly important is the signal it conveys.

In other words, our Little Idol has finally realized the importance of using social media to interact with fans!

In other words, Qing Bao will continue to proactively post on Weibo, sharing her thoughts with fans, showing them selfies, updating them on her schedule, and engaging with them!

These basic qualities of trainees, when transplanted onto Chu Yuanqing, seemed particularly alluring.

Therefore, Chu Yuanqing's die-hard fans, stans, and Solo Fan fans, upon seeing this, showed no intention of sharing it with others. Instead, they all clicked in with great joy, embodying extreme selfishness, and all planned to rush to the top to grab some comments and try to attract their Little Idol's attention!

Most fans of Yuan Xiao Fan) were shocked after clicking on the link.

They were initially captivated by their Little Idol's limited-edition wedding dress skin, but after the initial shock of her stunning appearance, they realized there was a "nuisance" Little Sakura in a wedding dress next to them, leaving them confused and terrified.

Oh my god, how come our Qing Bao is wearing a wedding dress with the neighbor's Little Sakura? And they're even kissing, holding hands, hugging, and sticking together!

--I'm furious!!!

The grief and indignation of discovering that one's daughter had been taken away before even seeing her grow up, along with the bitterness, pain, sorrow, and disbelief akin to NTR (Netorare, a form of sexual assault), all coalesced and raged within my chest, ultimately manifesting as a flurry of typing speed on the keyboard, fiercely vented in the Weibo comment section.

"Hehehe, Qing Bao is wearing a wedding dress? Is she going to marry me? Should I just walk in and start calling her 'wife'???"

"I can't stand it! How can there be such a sexy yet solemn and pure wedding dress! Most importantly, how could they let Qing Bao, who is underage, wear this? Holy crap, the sense of immorality and taboo is outrageous!!!"

"My Qing Bao wife smells so good, is so soft, and is so beautiful. I'm so excited! But why is she kissing my Little Sakura instead? Waaaaah! How am I supposed to keep this up? If I keep kissing her, won't I become the one suffering the most???"

"I'm going to be the victim! I'm going to be the victim! The NTR guy is ecstatic???! I knew being Qing Bao's girlfriend fan was the right thing to do???!"

"Qing Bao's figure seems to have improved, and she's even grown a little taller, waaaaah, it feels like I'm raising a daughter now, I can't wait for her to continue growing up!"

Well, many Yuan Xiao Fan, after being completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming praise from the "Bride Qing Bao" Yuan Fan, had no choice but to join the praise army and start the battle.

Of course, even so, there were still many dissatisfactions in the comments section.

However, this dissatisfaction is mainly directed at the official Flash Dance and Dream Weaver Rabbit. Not to mention Chu Yuanqing himself, even the innocent Little Sakura hasn't been affected much.

"Damn it, this must be the endorsement that Dream Weaver Rabbit mentioned. Didn't it consider having Qing Bao and Little Sakura endorse this together? Wouldn't that lock in Nylon's positioning? It would hinder Qing Bao's future development!"

"I want neodymium copper! I want neodymium copper!"

"I'm panicking, I'm really panicking! This is the official team maliciously manipulating things to create this CP (Little Sakura winning by too much? What are solo fans and people like me who ship this mixed bag supposed to do? I'm furious!!!"

"Any attempt to bind the Qing God to anyone is foolish, subjective, contrary to the laws of the universe, outdated, despicable, and shameless. The Qing God of the Bride should have the absolute freedom to bind any sister and be bound by any sister. Please be aware of this!"

"Although, but, your Qingmen...?"

"This is a treasure bestowed upon all living beings by the Qing God. The invincible bridal skin should be permanently locked in, a blessing beyond measure."

On the other side,

Xu Ling was awakened by the ringing of her phone. She picked it up in a daze and found that she had been tagged in more than a dozen fan support groups for "Wu Zhong Jian Qing".

Clicking in, I found a scene of universal celebration, a joyous atmosphere like Chinese New Year. The group members were all confident and high-spirited, spouting "winwinwin" all the time, with occasional wedding photos of two Little Idol mixed in.

Xu Ling was greatly shocked, feeling as if it were a dream within a dream. She pinched her thigh hard until tears streamed down her face before realizing that it was actually real!

Oh no, have I traveled through time?

How come I woke up to find that Yayoi and Qing Bao were both married?

Xu Ling clicked on the trending topics, and the list above had changed.
