The more Zhan Xiao watched, the more silent he became.

He had missed so many of her dazzling moments.

In every video, she was the center of attention, as radiant as the moon in the night sky or the sun on a clear day.

She was already so dazzling when she was C-level, let alone now that she was S-level.

The number of males who wanted to win her favor could circle the planet twice!

And the males always by her side were all High-level Beastmen. Not only were they handsome, but they also came from immense wealth.

Especially since among them was the Third Prince from the Imperial Royal Family.

He suddenly recalled what Mo Han had told him.

Mo Han said Bai Yue wasn’t actually named Bai Yue. Her name was Long Yue, a Princess from the Imperial Royal Family. That was why he had been so dispirited lately, because he felt that with his background, it was impossible for him to be with Long Yue.

Zhan Xiao had only learned all of this in the past two days.

Just as he had only found out today that Jiang Qin and Long Yue weren’t cousins at all.

They were sisters-in-law...

Remembering he had to take over a shift later, he shut down his Light Computer to get some rest.

Worthy or not, he had to be able to stand before her to even have the right to compete.

If he didn’t even have the right to stand in the light, how could he be worthy of asking her to follow him into the darkness?

Even if she were willing, he wouldn’t be.

...

As the rumors spiraled out of control and they were constantly being tagged, the Star Network Law Enforcement Department finally decided to act.

The Law Enforcement Chief used a temporary account to book an entire theater on the Star Network.

"I’m sure everyone has heard the recent rumors, right?"

The Star Network Law Enforcers answered, "Yes."

"Then what are your thoughts on it?"

A female Law Enforcer said with a serious face, "Chief, I don’t think there’s anything to debate about this matter.

We should order the film to be taken down from the entire network and penalize its distributor."

Another female Law Enforcer immediately objected, "I object, Chief. The Law Enforcement Department operates based on evidence. We haven’t investigated, nor have we verified anything. To take down a film based solely on netizens’ comments is against regulations."

"Does this even need an investigation? This kind of brainless promotion is clearly excessive false advertising! It’s fraud!"

"But the film’s writer and director is Jiang Qin. Let’s not forget, she has always been a miraculous female.

After all, before her, who would have believed that just listening to a song could lower one’s Riot Value?

Since she has had such an extraordinary achievement in the past, having another one doesn’t seem entirely impossible."

The Law Enforcement Chief had already made his decision, so he hadn’t called the meeting to ask for his subordinates’ opinions.

Seeing that they were about to start arguing, he made a final decision. "Then let’s go investigate and verify it."

"I’ve already sent the online movie tickets to your inboxes. At twelve noon, everyone must be online to watch the film on time.

I’ve also distributed some of the offline movie tickets.

All of you will go watch this film, and then each of you will submit a viewing report to me.

Meeting adjourned."

...

At twelve o’clock sharp, some Law Enforcers entered the theater with a serious attitude, while others were dismissive or even impatient.

"I don’t know what the Chief was thinking, wanting to verify such baseless rumors. It’s a real waste of time."

"Exactly. It’s such a waste of time. In this amount of time, I could have handled two cases."

"Tell me about it. I don’t even like watching these kinds of boring movies."

"I heard it’s a horror movie, but one completely without Alien Beasts. The only scary characters are dead people.

What’s so scary about one dead person?"

"Forget one. Which of us hasn’t seen piles of dead bodies? There’s nothing scary about that. Scared until your legs give out? That’s just an exaggeration."

"Some of the comments online are indeed quite exaggerated, but this is our job. We should treat it with a serious attitude."

"I never said I wasn’t being serious. Aren’t I discussing this properly with my colleagues right now?

Besides, even if they want us to believe that nonsense about watching a movie improving spiritual power focus, it should at least be an offline viewing.

What effect could watching it online possibly have? Is a female’s Spiritual Body actually going to appear? That’s hilarious, ha ha..."

The other Law Enforcers didn’t feel much of anything upon hearing their colleagues’ sarcastic remarks.

Because most of them felt the same way; they just hadn’t said it out loud.

But after the film started playing, those who had been whispering to each other unknowingly fell silent.

Those who had been dismissive gradually became engrossed.

Even those who had said they disliked such boring movies grew tense along with the film’s thrilling atmosphere.

"AHHH—"

It wasn’t until someone screamed in terror at a sudden jump scare that everyone snapped back to their senses.

But their eyes remained glued to the holographic screen, unwilling to cover them.

The more timid Law Enforcers were already clutching their colleagues’ clothes, trembling in fear.

Meanwhile, the bolder Law Enforcers were completely absorbed.

Before they knew it, something seemed to have suddenly appeared around them.

Lan Binglan had been watching the movie attentively the whole time, but she was also the first to notice the appearance of the Spiritual Bodies.

She felt a stir of excitement. After a moment’s hesitation, she gave up on watching the movie and began to observe these Spiritual Bodies instead.

Her Light Computer, set to privacy mode, was continuously recording everything.

As a member of the Lan family, she naturally supported Jiang Qin. After all, one of Jiang Qin’s partners was a male from their Lan Family.

So, as part of Lan Yuyan’s family, she would of course consider things from Jiang Qin’s side.

Although she also found the rumors absurd, from what she knew of Jiang Qin, she wasn’t the type to make grandiose claims.

Tianwen Entertainment wasn’t the kind of company that engaged in false advertising either, not with Yan Mingrui at the helm.

He would never allow the company to use such a brainless promotional strategy.

That was why she had insisted that an investigation was required to follow regulations.

Of course, she also knew that regardless of whether she supported it or not, the Law Enforcement Chief would have insisted on an investigation anyway.

But, despite wanting to believe in Jiang Qin and Tianwen Entertainment, her heart was still filled with more doubt than certainty.

But now, the most impossible thing had actually been proven true...

***

When the film ended, none of the Law Enforcers left the theater right away.

They fell into silence, their faces stinging with embarrassment.

"Tsk, tsk. You really have to live a long time to see more of the impossible."

"Can you believe it? My Riot Value actually dropped by 0.1%."

"My Spiritual Body was out the whole time, but I don’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue. Most importantly, it appeared on the Star Network!!

How is that possible? I’ve never been able to summon my Spiritual Body on the Star Network before."

"It’s more than that. I’ve never even been able to use my spiritual power on the Star Network."

If pacification could be done on the Star Network, how could so many High-level Beastmen have died on their way to find a High-level female for pacification!
