Chapter 37: Is Chu Yuanqing a Succubus?

The voice of Dream Weaver Rabbit faded away.

Inside the classroom, there was complete silence, but every word spoken felt like a powerful force, crashing down like fiery meteors in a vast wilderness, igniting a grand and intense firestorm that fueled everyone’s ambitions and desires.

The elimination and selection mechanism of "Dazzling Stage" ensured that the contestants present had exceptionally high purity levels.

In an instant, the gaze of each contestant seemed to burn with a dark fire, their personalities were distinct, yet they all exuded a similar aura of vitality, creating a tense atmosphere throughout the venue.

The contestants from the upper circle had an especially strong presence.

Chen Yining’s radiant smile exuded absolute confidence, and her crimson eyes shimmered with defiance.

She certainly didn’t consider herself the strongest.

However, in order to fulfill a childhood promise, she needed to become a bit more proud, more confident, and work even harder – only by building this false yet perfect self, did she have a chance to catch up with the true genius.

The young girl’s vibrant hair cascaded over her shoulders, her expression perfectly composed. As she glanced towards a distant figure, an old childhood friend seemingly drifting in the mist, her hand clenched briefly under the table before relaxing again, retracting her gaze.

She will win.

As long as I’m with Shuzhu, I won’t lose for sure.

Ji Shuzhu glanced at Dream Weaver Rabbit, remembering the styles of eight theme songs, and analyzing the specific dance genres from the fragmented pieces.

All the movements of those dancers are reenacted in the mind under the assistance of a disease called hypermnesia, then calmly and efficiently dissected into pieces like a puzzle, finally weaving into complete dances.

After finishing all this, Ji Shuzhu felt no emotion, finding it dull and mundane.

Indeed very boring.

Those dancers are all low-quality, not as good as Little Ning.

Only those with shining potential to become the best idols have the possibility to break through all negative impurities in the endless memory palace, injecting new happiness.

Ji Shuzhu craves happiness.

The girl’s eyes were murky and unclear, she extended her pale and slender hand, silently covering the center of her chest, as if trying to heal the increasingly painful and empty void, sitting alone in silence.

Xie Qingxuan sat in the middle, looking calm. Her platinum blonde hair shone like a blessed angel, but her eyes reflected shattered emotions, swirling with jealousy, hatred, admiration, anger, and confusion, all burning into a deep darkness.

Yes, that’s right.

Dream Weaver Rabbit was right.

This was the reason she joined the "Dazzling Stage" and stepped onto the stage.

To crush someone’s dreams, seize their wishes, and strip away their existence, she was willing to trample on many people’s beliefs, disrespect others’ passions, and insult their efforts without hesitation.

Kirimi Miyuki sat nearby as well, but compared to the others, she appeared like a normal good child. She seemed a bit nervous, a bit excited, yet showed a deep passion for the stage, following the path of a mainstream idol.

Moving down to the next row was the Grade B seating.

Tang Liuli felt tired, as she had serious insomnia and anxiety tendencies.

Although she was unexpectedly healed by Chu Yuanqing yesterday, which brought her rare moments of joy, the bizarre healing made her start to doubt the beliefs she had built up over her life, causing her to stay up almost all night.

Dream Weaver Rabbit could not lift the spirits.

The passionate words were like a spirit booster for others, but for Tang Liuli, who was forced to participate in the show despite having no interest in idols, they were meaningless chatter.

She detested the entertainment industry, hated being in the public eye, disliked the endless scrutiny and opinions on the internet, loathed being the center of attention as if a puppet, and despised her current situation of being weak and forced by her father to compete.

The girl’s emerald eyes were lowered, looking sad and gloomy, as if carrying a rain cloud over her head, completely contrasting with the energized and competitive Grade B contestants around her, existing in two different worlds.

It would be better if the world were destroyed, or simply disappeared.

But just as dark thoughts threatened to overwhelm her, Chu Yuanqing’s smile suddenly appeared in the corner of her memory.

It was like a timeless world-renowned painting, sending warmth and comfort across time, interrupting her sinking thoughts.

Tang Liuli pursed her lips, feeling irritated.

How strange, could someone really be so captivated by a smile, or even truly healed spiritually?

Could it be that I am actually a lesbian?

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she angrily scolded herself in a panic.

Are you kidding me, am I a fool?

After scolding Chu Yuanqing, Tang Liuli couldn’t help but sneak a glance at where she was.

Because she was also hiding in a corner, just below and diagonally across, she happened to see that side profile that made people want to sing praises to the beauty of everything.

It’s not fair, she looks so good without makeup, is she cheating?

Tang Liuli stared blankly for about ten seconds.

But soon,

The girl suddenly snapped out of it, shaking her head vigorously like a cat caught in the rain, immediately burying her head in her knees, her cold white skin tinged with a light pink, even the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, adding a hint of allure, somewhat bitter.

Uh-oh, Chu Yuanqing is a succubus? How did I get charmed again!

Tang Liuli got lost in her own thoughts, making excuses for herself in a way that was more obvious than Chu Yuanqing trying to act nonchalant.

Among the ambitious and determined competitors, there is a subtle presence of a husky among the wolves.

At this moment, on the stage.

Dream Weaver Rabbit glanced at the upper circle, then looked at Chu Yuanqing with great intensity, opening its arms in a captivating manner and said:

"Among you, there are winners and losers."

"But the first assessment is not the final one, the secondary rating is the real showdown."

"You will have a week to learn the theme song dance, then the mentors will observe and reevaluate your performance to determine the rankings."

"In this assessment, the original winners may fall, and the original losers might rise to the top through a comeback!"

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😢)

"In short, this is a chance to be born again."

Dream Weaver Rabbit clapped his hands, and on the screen, the votes for each theme song were changing rapidly as if being randomly selected, like an exciting lottery draw.

"It is now 7:50 in the evening, and there are 10 minutes left until the voting for the theme song chart is completely frozen."

"The choreography and styles of these eight theme songs are all different. There must be one that suits some people the most and one that suits some people the least, even to some extent, which will determine the direction and outcome of the future evaluations."

"But as I just said, the so-called idol is meant to overcome these inconsistencies, and luck is indeed an element that needs to be conquered."

"So now, among you, who will be favored by the goddess of luck?"
