Free Web NovelChapter 188: Chapter 186: Su Shen Is Still Too Well-Rounded
The competition officially began.
Rosa Meiya parted her lips, her eyes slightly downcast, and a silky, ethereal chant spilled from her throat.
Almost instantly, everyone was pulled into the atmosphere of the deep sea.
They felt as if they were in the ocean, the gentle water rocking their bodies, compelling them to relax and sink into the sensation. They could almost hear the soft lapping of the waves.
When the song ended, nearly everyone was still immersed in the Mermaid’s graceful voice, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Rosa Meiya looked at Bai Su smugly. "I didn’t even use my superpower, you know. You just need to sing a simple little song. No need to attempt something on my level."
Bai Su activated the "Heavenly Voice" prop, took a deep breath, and looked at the camera. "I don’t know many songs, so I’ll sing a lullaby for everyone. It’s one I often sing to my sons."
At school, Bai Xiaolang quickly covered Wen Xiaobao’s ears.
The little ones took several deep breaths, barely managing to brace themselves.
Bai Xiaolang: "Are you ready?"
Bai Xiao Zhu nodded. "All systems ready. The moment anyone insults Mom on the internet, their data will be captured and their account will be hacked."
Bai Xiaoshe also chimed in, "I’m ready over here, too. I’d like to see who dares to make a personal attack. I’ll trace their IP address right to their offline location!"
Bai Su cleared her throat and slowly began to sing.
The Heavenly Voice prop started to work its magic.
Bai Su hummed the lullaby softly, imagining she was lulling her children to sleep.
The very instant the first note left her lips, Rosa Meiya’s eyes widened in disbelief. ’How is this possible?!’
The bullet comments vanished in an instant, the screen going blank.
If the viewer count in the top-right corner hadn’t still shown millions watching, Bai Su would have thought her internet had disconnected.
Everyone was immersed in the gentle song, almost holding their breath.
A flicker of fervor crossed Yelias’s eyes as he shot a triumphant glance at the old men in the research lab.
Wen Lan stared at Bai Su on the livestream, lost in thought.
Wen Dabao was also watching Bai Su on screen with a stunned expression, his eyes filled with bewilderment and some unidentifiable emotion.
Li Chenlin lay on the restaurant roof, listening quietly to Bai Su’s song, his heart melting into a puddle.
Back at school, the four little ones stared at Bai Su on the screen in utter shock, their eyes wide with disbelief.
When the song ended, people in the comments slowly began to come to their senses.
[How the fuck could she lose?]
[Who was just trash-talking my Su Shen? Show yourself!]
[I don’t know why, but when I heard the Mermaid Princess sing, I just thought it was pretty. But listening to Su Shen sing, I can’t help but burst into tears...]
[Me too! SOB SOB SOB I miss my mom...]
[AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’M ONLY JUST SNAPPING OUT OF IT! CAN YOU SING IT AGAIN?! SU SHEN!]
[THE CHURCH OF SU LIVES FOREVER!]
[Yes, I’m a Bai Su fan. (adjusts collar, lifts head, puffs out chest, and slowly stands up)]
[What is a gift from the gods? THIS is a gift from the gods!]
[Who else gets it? I’m a six-foot-three pure-hearted Cat Beastman university student with a ripped chest, an eight-pack, and an hour of stamina, who’s kind, gentle, loves kids, is family-oriented, and thoughtful, and even *I’m* crying my eyes out.]
[Commenter above, nobody asked for your stats.]
[If I could become Bai Su’s third Beast Husband, I’d be willing to be hugged from both sides and eat three meals of her food every day!]
[Susu, you’re my goddess! Thank god I screen-recorded! I’m replaying it on an infinite loop!]
[The Mermaid Princess’s singing felt like she was just showing off her technique, as if to say, ’Listen to how awesome I am.’ But the moment Susu started singing, it genuinely made me recall being lulled to sleep by my mom as a child. It’s just so powerful!]
[In the face of absolute emotion, all techniques pale in comparison!]
Rosa Meiya’s face paled and flushed in turns. After a long moment, she announced, "Alright, now it’s time to find people to score us!"
"In one hour, we’ll see who gets more points, and then we’ll decide the winner!"
"What the netizens say doesn’t count, you know."
The two of them had to take their livestream cameras and find elders throughout the Imperial City to score them.
There weren’t many elderly people at Level 8 or above, and they were mostly concentrated among the top brass.
Bai Su and Rosa Meiya arrived at the Bear Beastman Tribe at almost the same time.
Rosa Meiya was absolutely confident. Bi He of the Bear Clan would definitely vote for her because she had saved his life years ago!
Rosa Meiya rushed into Bi He’s office ahead of Bai Su and explained her purpose.
In Bai Su’s livestream comments: [AHHHH, BOSS, HURRY! DON’T LET THE MERMAID PRINCESS GET THERE FIRST! IF SHE TAKES THE VOTE, YOU WON’T GET IT, RIGHT?]
[The Mermaid Princess is so cunning! She deliberately ran in the same direction as the Boss to get ahead of her and ask for the vote!]
When Bai Su pushed open the door and entered, Bi He was looking at Rosa Meiya with a troubled expression. "Little Princess, it’s not that I don’t want to give you my vote, but I simply must give it to Miss Bai Su."
"No, no one is threatening me. I sincerely want to give it to her of my own free will."
"I know you saved my life, and I should repay that kindness. However, Miss Bai Su saved all the disabled veterans of our entire Bear Clan Tribe. She healed their disabilities and allowed them to return to a normal life."
"I can repay you in other ways, but voting for Miss Bai Su is the will of every single member of our Bear Clan Tribe."
"I cannot go against the will of my people just to repay my personal debt."
Just then, Bi He saw Bai Su enter and directly cast his vote for her.
Rosa Meiya was so angry she stomped her foot.
With one vote secured, Bai Su turned and headed for the Lion Beastman Tribe.
Refusing to give up, Rosa Meiya followed her toward Yan Hongyi’s location.
When Bai Su arrived, Yan Hongyi was desperately clutching his vote, preventing Rosa Meiya from snatching it.
"Little Princess, I really can’t! Miss Bai Su has shown my family immense kindness! She cured my daughter’s infertility and saved her life!"
"And it’s not just my daughter. Other females in the Lion Beastman tribe have also become pregnant one after another thanks to her gift."
"The Lion Beastman Tribe no longer needs to rely on diplomacy to increase its population. This is a blessing from the heavens! I could never backstab Miss Bai Su!"
Another vote fell into Bai Su’s hands.
The Lanton Family research lab.
Rosa Meiya’s confidence finally returned. "The other Land People tribes might not work, but the Lanton Family will definitely be different!"
She rushed inside excitedly.
Bai Su followed close behind.
Before she even entered, she could hear utter chaos inside.
"Little Princess, we really can’t! This vote definitely has to go to Bai Su."
"Her food has been tremendously helpful to our core project, and she even cured syphilis! That’s a major contribution that could save females worldwide!"
"Yes, we know the Sea Clan cooperates with us as well."
"But your cooperation with us is all about developing marine resources, and the main beneficiary is the Sea Clan. The project Miss Bai Su is involved in, however, benefits the entire world. There’s no comparison!"
"This vote goes to Miss Bai Su!"
Rosa Meiya was politely escorted out of the research institute.
She stood at the entrance, so furious she almost crushed the livestreaming pole in her hand.
Bai Su had won all the votes with practically no suspense.
When she came out of the institute, she saw the fuming Rosa Meiya at the entrance.
Bai Su: "..."
Rosa Meiya’s chest heaved with rage as she glared at Bai Su. "You cheated! There’s no way you could have gotten so many votes!"
"They’re all liars! How could you possibly be that amazing?"
"What ’curing the disabled’? What ’treating infertility’? What ’curing syphilis’? They’re all just trying to trick me!"
"You Land People are all ganging up to bully us from the Sea Clan!"
"..." The corner of Bai Su’s mouth twitched. "We’re really not."
Rosa Meiya burst into angry tears, tossed aside her livestreaming device, and lunged at Bai Su. "I’ll beat you to death, you cheating bitch! I’ll make you pay for humiliating me!"
Comments: [??? What the hell? Can’t handle a loss, can you?]
[AHHHH, BOSS, BE CAREFUL!]
[Is this Mermaid Princess crazy?]
Bai Su’s livestream camera shook violently, making it impossible to see what was happening.
Only the sounds of cursing and the Mermaid Princess’s shrieks could be heard.
Ten minutes later, Bai Su reappeared in front of the camera and straightened it. "Sorry about that. What a sight for everyone."
Facing the camera, she gently smoothed her messy hair. Her rabbit ears were slightly flushed, and her chest was heaving with heavy breaths. It was a sight that could easily make one’s imagination run wild.
She switched to the rear-facing camera, aiming it at Rosa Meiya, who was sitting on the ground.
Her face was covered in slap marks, her long, seaweed-like hair was as messy as a broom, and her ornaments had been violently torn off and thrown on the ground. She looked as if she had been traumatized by a brutal assault, her eyes staring blankly ahead.
Bai Su brought the camera closer and patted her. "Hey, say a few words."
Rosa Meiya stared at the camera, dazed for a moment, before suddenly letting out a loud wail. "WAAAH... You Land People are all bullying me!!!"
"WAAAH... You’re clearly a rabbit, so why are you so good at fighting?!"
Bai Su: "..."
’Back when I was at the mountaintop orphanage, single-handedly taking on a dozen village women and sending Xiao Mi and her group of females scattering, this little princess was probably still playing in the mud somewhere.’
The comments section was about to die from laughter.
[BWAHAHAHAHAHA, DAMN! Su Shen is just too well-rounded.]
[Level 2, solo victor against dozens of people. The record is searchable.]
