Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Love You

Jiang Qin hugged her guitar and said, "This song is called 'Love You'."

'When it comes to sweetness, who could possibly compare to the Queen of Sweet?'

'She's the original "sweetie pie"!'

"If you suddenly sneeze out of the blue

It must be because I'm thinking of you

If your Light Computer wakes you in the night

Ah, that's because I care~~"

To express the song's sweetness, Jiang Qin not only put on a cutesy voice but also moved with youthful energy.

The advantage of her "sickly beauty" face was its incredible versatility.

When she smiled sweetly, even her normally placid eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Cute when she moved, cool and aloof when still, and bewitching when she chose to be.

"Ho Baby

Say a few more sweet things to me

If you miss me, look at me a little more

Show me a little more action

So I can really see it

Oh Bye

Say that a little less

I want to be with you for more than just a day~~"

[I knew it! She must be in love with me! Not only did she call me baby, she said she wants to be with me forever!!]

[Hey, male upstairs, if you don't have a mirror, you can at least piss in a puddle, right? It's obvious our big sister likes sweet females~]

[So sweet, so sweet, ahhhh, this bear loves sweetie pies.]

[I usually don't recommend females show their faces in public like this, because the Interstellar is full of vicious stray males, and also Star Thieves.]

[So, for Miss Jiang Qin's safety, I'm willing to be her partner and protect her!]

[This is the Star Network, not a wishing well. eye_roll.jpg]

[A moment ago I thought Lilia was so sweet, but now I can only say, there really is a difference between industrial saccharin and natural fruit candy.]

Seeing that comment, Lilia angrily swept her arm, sending everything next to her crashing to the floor.

Fortunately, her opponent's mic was muted during the PK battle. Otherwise, the sudden sound of things crashing might have broken Jiang Qin's concentration.

But even though the audience couldn't hear the noise, they could see the fury on her face.

This scene stunned those who had just been captivated by Lilia.

They couldn't believe that the ferocious-looking female on the screen was the same one whose voice had been sweet enough to melt any male's heart just moments before.

Those who previously hadn't minded that she was a D-level female instantly lost interest.

A difficult female might be worth it if she were outstanding, but her situation was clearly not excellent, and with such a bad temper, she was definitely not a good choice.

Among them were quite a few students from Duolun University.

Some were even Lilia's pursuers.

But Lilia had always disdained their low Spiritual Power Levels and ordinary family backgrounds, so she'd just been stringing them along without ever agreeing to date them.

She never expected that after today, even these males she looked down on would no longer pursue her.

"Because you make me do it willingly." As the last line faded, Jiang Qin wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and sat down.

Her body was in truly terrible shape.

She hadn't even been singing and dancing; just a bit of stage presence and movement had left her utterly exhausted.

Other people would have a rosy complexion after exercising, but after she was done, her face was as pale as paper.

The people watching the livestream began to worry about her.

[Miss Qin looks exhausted. Her Physique seems a bit too poor...]

[Isn't Jiang Qin supposed to be the Jiang Family's adopted child? Is the Jiang Family really too cheap to take her to a hospital?]

[Tsk tsk, maybe there's something fishy about this adoption.]

[Jiang Qin is a female, after all. The Jiang Family wouldn't dare to openly harm a female. There's probably some other reason.]

As for the Jiang Family members who were being discussed, only Jiang Ruming and Jiang Ruhai were secretly watching the livestream.

As for Jiang Yulian, she was still in bed with her several Beast Husbands, so she was unaware of today's commotion.

Besides, she never paid attention to this kind of entertainment gossip, and no one would bring it up with her.

Only her current primary partner, Ali Richi, found out about the matter while at work, but instead of issuing a clarification, he chose to suppress the trending topic.

Because he knew how important Jiang Ruming was to Jiang Yulian, and he knew even better that Jiang Qin was ranked lower in Jiang Yulian's heart.

However, he couldn't go too far. At the very least, he couldn't kick Jiang Qin while she was down or actively try to harm her.

After all, no matter what, Jiang Qin was the little female that Jiang Yulian had given birth to.

He would never do anything that might anger his partner, no matter how much he doted on Jiang Ruming.

So, the only thing he could do was suppress the topic and let the matter blow over.

This was the only way he could help Jiang Ruming.

***

After Jiang Qin finished singing, the judge once again gave her a high score of 98 points.

If not for her vocal technique and tone being unsuitable for this song, she probably could have gotten a perfect score.

But that wasn't a certainty. Nothing in the world is perfect. Even in situations that deserve a perfect score, most judges won't give one, preferring to leave some room for improvement—unless the performance is truly and astonishingly brilliant.

However, Jiang Qin was well aware of her own shortcomings, so she didn't feel the score was too low.

A large part of that score was due to the quality of the song itself.

Having won two rounds, there was no need to compete in the final one.

Just as Jiang Qin was about to remind Lilia to honor the bet, the other side abruptly shut down the livestream. The last thing she saw was Lilia's hateful glare.

She looked like she wanted to eat her alive.

"Heh." 'Sore loser.'

But she wasn't worried. She had requested a main-brain arbitrator for more than just fairness.

They had signed an agreement before the PK battle began.

If Lilia didn't fulfill the terms of the bet, all assets under her name would be frozen, and she would be blacklisted as a defaulter.

All Interstellar citizens were under the jurisdiction of the Star Network. As long as you wanted to live an open and honest life, you couldn't even think of defaulting on an agreement.

So, within a few days, Lilia would automatically fulfill the bet.

However, as the winner, Jiang Qin had no intention of passing up this opportunity to earn some reputation value.

'Since I can't piggyback on the other livestream anymore, I might as well start my own.'

On the Star Network, the viewers who had just been suddenly kicked out of the livestream instantly found their new home, flocking to her channel and hitting the follow button.

[Oh my god, that female Lilia is such a sore loser!]

[Yeah, yeah, the stream suddenly closed, and I had no idea where to go.]

[Don't worry, Lilia's comment section and the Duolun University comment section are already getting flooded.]

...

Nearly all of the twenty million people from the previous livestream had come over.

Jiang Qin's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Hello everyone. I didn't expect the other stream to suddenly shut down either, but I can't allow the matter of the stolen musical score to just be swept under the rug."

"So, for what's next, you can all name any conditions you want, and I will compose and perform a song on the spot. Let's do ten songs. I can't go for too long; I have other things to do."

[Going that big?]

[For real?]

[Any request? I want to hear another sweet song like the last one.]

[A sweet song~~]

Seeing so many people asking for a sweet song, Jiang Qin had no choice but to perform another one.

Luckily, her reputation value had been steadily increasing. Otherwise, the little she earned at the bar probably wouldn't have been enough to buy so many.

After all, the prices of some songs were indeed quite steep.
