Upon hearing the host's words, Mingxi’s face completely darkened.
This was a forced invitation, and if it didn’t work, they were just going to shove it down her throat, right?
Clever.
Truly clever.
They even saved the 20,000 star coins reward!
It’s estimated that some people in the organizing committee would even gain benefits from Meng Xinxin.
They were making a killing.
They were simply business geniuses!
Mingxi cursed inwardly.
Meng Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, feigning surprise and saying, “Is this alright? Will the contestants be willing? Will it affect their performance in the official competition later?”
Host: “Hahaha, Xinxin is really so considerate and gentle. Your fans must be very happy.”
“Which short-sighted contestant would refuse to compete on the same stage as a beautiful celebrity like you?”
He then looked at the audience: “Don’t you all agree?”
The audience immediately roared “Yes” like a tsunami.
As a gimmick to attract the audience, the organizing committee had naturally announced Meng Xinxin’s participation as a guest for the exhibition match early on.
So, many of her fans came today.
They occupied a full third of the audience seats.
The audience all thought the host was joking.
But in reality.
Only Mingxi knew that he was actually insulting her!
Cui Xinxin smiled even more sweetly, her emotions truly genuine.
“After all, I am also a D-level Beastmaster, so if performing an exhibition match with me affects a contestant’s condition, wouldn’t I become a sinner?”
Host: “Don’t worry, our event organizers will provide energy bugs and healing pet beasts for the invited contestant, so it absolutely won’t affect her upcoming official competition!”
“Is that so?”
Meng Xinxin stuck out the tip of her tongue: “Then I shall respectfully obey.”
She then blew a kiss to the camera, “Brothers, sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters in the contestant room, are you ready? I’m coming.”
So cute it makes you want to knock her head off.
Mingxi really wanted to knock her head off.
“Xinxin, have you already decided who you want to choose?”
The host cooperatively followed up.
“Actually, I really like one contestant, and I’ve been following her growth for a long time. I think she’s especially like the female protagonist in a TV drama I filmed before.”
As soon as Meng Xinxin finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately shouted out ‘Mingxi’s’ name.
Meng Xinxin smiled: “It seems everyone has already guessed the name of the opponent I want to choose today. That’s right, she is the genius girl, Mingxi!”
The next moment, the contestants all looked at the girl sitting quietly in the corner.
Mingxi, unsurprised, calmly stood up.
If it weren't for not wanting to waste the competition points she was about to get.
And also wanting to take the opportunity to replenish the reward duration, otherwise the Time Realm's storage function wouldn't even activate.
She would absolutely not be stepping onto the battle stage now, but rather turning to complete the withdrawal procedures.
Seeing Mingxi, the host enthusiastically pushed the microphone to her mouth: “Hello, Ming. Xinxin says she likes you very much. Do you have anything you want to say [N O V E L I G H T] to her?”
Mingxi was expressionless, raising her eyelids. Her eyes, beneath long, crow-feather-like lashes, were darker than ink.
Her tone was even more bland than plain boiled water: “Can the exhibition match begin?”
Host: “...”
Meng Xinxin: “...”
So cold.
Although the host had already learned some inside information from the organizing committee, some of his lines were provided by them.
But seeing Mingxi give Meng Xinxin no face in front of so many spectators...
His habit of feeling awkward for others was about to act up.
“...Haha, then the exhibition match will begin now!”
Although it was an exhibition match.
A referee was also arranged.
Everyone took their positions.
The referee briefly explained the rules.
A 3-on-3 team match, with each side sending out 3 pet beasts to battle.
When the referee announced the start of the match, Meng Xinxin immediately summoned her three pet beasts.
One General-level Angel System pet beast, Morcalin.
Two Advanced Level Fairy System pet beasts, Lu Lu Honey.
Mingxi, however, only summoned Little Silver Flower.
All four pet beasts were beautiful creatures of super high Appearance, and they were all humanoid. Plus Mingxi and Meng Xinxin.
At that moment, the stage seemed to be illuminated by the light of the goddess of beauty.
“So beautiful! My eyes are blinded.”
“It feels like watching a pet beast beauty pageant.”
“Is Mingxi’s pet beast Lovenia?”
“Compared like this, Lovenia is indeed the most beautiful, making Morcalin and Meng Xinxin look dull.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
“Hey! Great minds think alike! I also think Lovenia is the best looking.”
“Mingxi is actually not bad, she’s just young and hasn’t fully matured yet.”
“Is Meng Xinxin a bit too confident? How dare she choose Mingxi? A female celebrity, it’s one thing for her appearance to be crushed by a pet beast, but she’s also crushed by the pet beast’s Beast Tamers. Isn’t this just pure bad luck?”
“She probably thought... she was the most beautiful in the world, right?”
“Bumping into someone wearing the same outfit isn’t scary, but whoever is uglier is awkward. Even more awkward is not bumping into someone wearing the same outfit, and still being ugly.”
Normal viewers all have eyes, but brain-dead fans only see their idol.
They were all screaming and shouting ‘Sister is the most beautiful,’ ‘Xinxin is the best,’ ‘Morcalin is so beautiful,’ and so on...
Drowning out the voices praising Mingxi and Little Silver Flower.
Of course, some people reacted differently.
“Is there something wrong with your focus? Shouldn’t you be wondering why Mingxi only summoned one pet beast?”
Meng Xinxin was also focused on this point and couldn’t help but frown and remind her, “Mingxi, this is a team match.”
Mingxi slightly raised her eyelids, her cold eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
She replied faintly: “It doesn’t violate the rules.”
Team matches only have a requirement for the maximum number of pet beasts, but no one stipulated that it couldn’t be 1-on-3!
Didn’t she want her to go easy?
Then she would go easy for her to see!
Ignoring Meng Xinxin’s darkening face.
She said to Little Silver Flower, “Little Silver Flower, I’m a bit thirsty. Let’s finish this quickly.”
As soon as Little Silver Flower heard this, it immediately got fired up.
Its Beast Tamers was thirsty!
How could that be? It had to quickly eliminate these three ugly, annoying creatures in front of it.
Meng Xinxin naturally heard Mingxi’s words as well.
Her pretty face instantly stretched long!
Sending out just one Advanced Level pet beast, and she thought she could defeat her three pet beasts?
Who did this Mingxi think she was? She had never seen anyone so arrogant!
And she wanted to finish them quickly!
Let’s see who finishes whom quickly!
“Rose, Ruya, mental resonance!”
The Rose and Ruya she spoke of were the pair of Lu Lu Honey.
One female, one male.
The female Lu Lu Honey had a pair of pure white, seemingly transparent lace-like dragonfly wings, delicate features, and a petite figure.
The male Lu Lu Honey, on the other hand, had Five Colors butterfly wings and a more slender build, and he was also better looking than the female Lu Lu Honey.
Beast Tamers who contract with pet beasts like Lu Lu Honey are usually actors.
Because their auxiliary abilities are to modify appearance and also shared empathy.
The former helps actors better fit their character image, somewhat similar to Yan Yueying’s ability.
The latter can improve the actor’s understanding of the character.
