Chapter 79: Chill and Thrill
Mo Qianmeng beamed with a cheerful smile, looking genuinely pleased.
It’s amazing how just knowing a countermeasure can make her so happy; this poor kid really has it tough.
At that moment, Night Star suddenly remembered something and cautioned, “You mustn’t let this secret slip! You’re the only one who can know; if too many people find out, it probably won’t work anymore.”
“Yup! I know. The reason blackmail works is that it’s a secret nobody wants to reveal. The more people know, the less effective it becomes; it could even lead to a tragic end for him. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. It’ll just be my little secret pleasure.”
Mo Qianmeng said these rational words with a twinkle in her eyes, as if sparks were flying.
Her scheming spirit was ablaze! Finally, she had the upper hand!
So exciting!
Night Star looked at Mo Qianmeng’s eager expression and could already envision Mo Tu’s deflated face.
But then she thought, that guy isn’t someone to mess with lightly. If he gets angry, who knows what he might do?
The risk of Mo Qianmeng trying to take control was way too high.
So, it’s best left to Night Star.
She could handle Mo Rabbit with no problem!
Just like that, after getting what she wanted, Mo Qianmeng left.
Night Star watched her departing silhouette, marveling at the strange twists of fate.
This piqued Book Yao’s curiosity.
“What’s going on?”
“Hmm~ You want to know, Book Yao? It’s a very interesting matter!”
“Can you tell me? It seems like a secret.”
“Ah, don’t worry. It is a secret to outsiders, but since you’re part of the theater group, you’re entitled to know the other members are aware of it too.”
“If that’s the case, please tell me!”
“Hmm~”
Then Night Star took Book Yao to a quieter spot and began to spill the beans about the secret.
“Actually… our theater group’s announcer was originally a man!”
“Eh?”
Book Yao froze in place.
“What… what happened?”
She could hardly process Night Star’s words.
The announcer was such a cute kid, or at least, that was her first impression.
She thought the cute image of the announcer would stay in her heart for a long time, but now that illusion was shattered.
“So the announcer was actually a boy?”
“Yup~ That’s the case.”
Then Night Star launched into a wild story about the announcer, starting from a ridiculous wish that transformed her from a big man into a loli—it was simply entertaining!
Book Yao listened attentively, seeming genuinely surprised.
Honestly, she hadn’t seen anything like this in her long life.
The adorable image of the announcer collapsed right in her mind.
“Wow… the announcer must feel pretty pathetic. Going from a man to a little girl must be pretty frustrating, right?”
“Hmm~ Well, she brought it on herself! Who told her to make me angry? And don’t be fooled by her cute loli form; her personality is downright terrible—she’s basically human sc*m. That Mo Qianmeng just now? She’s her cousin, and as the older ‘brother,’ she always bullies her cousin and treats her like a toy. Don’t you think that’s pretty low?”
“Seems like it.”
Night Star’s description quickly formed the image of the announcer as a little demon in Book Yao’s mind.
Looks like the announcer is quite the character.
“So I’ve been planning to turn her into a real girl. Don’t you think that would be exciting?”
“Isn’t that a bit wrong?”
“What’s wrong about it? After all, she enjoys being a girl now. She’s probably gotten used to it and might even become an even more outrageous form of sc*m as a girl. To prevent her from using my wish for something crazy, it’s perfectly normal to train her to be a lady.”
After hearing Night Star’s thoughts, Book Yao started to get an idea of what kind of person the announcer really was.
It makes sense that she should be trained properly.
“I support you.”
“Hmm~ Thanks for the support! When we get back to the theater, we’ll discuss strategies with the Singer. We can’t let that brat be too full of herself.”
In any case, Night Star was not just doing this for her amusement; she was also following the path of justice!
Well, sort of.
Meanwhile,
In Yun Chang City.
A certain black-haired man sneezed unexpectedly, a chilling sense creeping up his spine.
“Who’s talking about me?”
Mo Tu attempted some divination but ended up losing a chunk of his psychic energy instead.
Now he understood.
It’s probably that little loli cooking up some scheme against him.
Mo Tu felt a headache coming on.
Just now, that call from Mo Qianmeng had already left him in a daze.
What was that little loli planning again?
The three words she dropped earlier literally made his heart skip a beat. Clearly, calling her for fun was off the table.
There’s no need to guess; it was definitely some audience performer who spilled the beans to her.
If he had known this, he should have told Mo Qianmeng to steer clear of the Rising Sun Theater and avoid that audience performer. That might have prevented this mess.
As for now…
He’ll just have to take it one step at a time.
Thinking this, Mo Tu headed for the Night Watcher Base.
Since things were settled in Qi Yuan City, there probably wasn’t anything else to worry about.
Time to refocus on Yun Chang City.
Night Lan was about to head to the capital headquarters.
This was going to be a whole new adventure. Who knows what might happen next?
In any case, he could just observe for now.
A shift in perspective.
At the Night Watcher Base in Yun Chang City,
Night Lan was chatting with Zero Meow and others about something.
“Shock meow! Night Lan is going to the headquarters? Why’s that?”
“Well, they probably think I’m super talented and want me to come over and learn!”
Night Lan continued her usual nonsense.
But Zero Meow wasn’t buying it.
“Hmm? Really? But Night Lan is still a total newbie, struggling even with tasks. How could they possibly plan to train you so soon? It’s way too early.”
“Oh well~ I’ll definitely go at some point anyway. When I do, I’ll just be away for a bit; you all wait for me to come back!”
She couldn’t very well go around broadcasting that the leader wanted to meet her.
After all, that’d raise more questions than answers.
She was probably going to mix in with a bunch of strangers; being one of them would keep her under the radar.
Speaking of which, she had never been to the capital.
As the heart of the nation, it must be thriving.
Thinking about it like this, Night Lan started to get excited.
However, despite her enthusiasm, the other lolis didn’t seem as thrilled.
White Fish looked a tad reluctant, and Star Yoon and Neko Shinna felt the same way.
Zero Meow even leapt onto her.
“Waaah! Night Lan, you have to take me with you! How am I supposed to live without you?”
“Aw, don’t worry, I’ll be back. Cheer up!”
Night Lan patted Zero Meow’s head, finally managing to calm her down.
Then she comforted White Fish and the others, gently rubbing their heads, finally adopting a big sister’s vibe!
