Fu Xingyao stared at the data refreshing in real time on the tablet and sighed, "This wave of traffic is more powerful than hiring ten top-tier endorsements."

Backend data shows:

The official website's instant visits exceeded 500,000;

The queue for the VIP hotline reached 572 people;

The most bizarre inquiry came from a wealthy man: "Can I arrange for Lenna to sing at my wedding if I'm an annual member?"

He sent a WeChat message to Shi Heng: [Starry Sky Hall is reserved for the whole year, matchmaker fee.]

Shi Heng replied immediately: [I suggest adding a proposal package, splitting it into 70% for me and 30% for you.]

Fu Xingyao replied with a laugh: [Even capitalists would cry after reading this.]

In the back seat of the car, Gu Youran leaned lazily on Shi Heng's shoulder, her fingers casually sliding across the screen of her mobile phone.

She suddenly looked up and said, "How about we open a music studio? You see, our fans are asking for a custom channel."

Shi Heng entwined a strand of her hair with his fingers and said with a smile, "Okay. But..."

He paused deliberately, "All artists must sign lifetime contracts."

"So domineering?" Gu Youran poked his chest with her fingertips.

He lowered his head and placed his warm lips on her sensitive earlobe.

"The first contract detail..." He bit his tongue lightly, "The boss enjoys unlimited song request rights."

"puff--"

Gu Youran laughed out loud and fell into his arms. "So does the second option include pick-up and drop-off service?"

Shi Heng tightened his arms and locked her tightly in his embrace, "Smart."

His nose brushed against the side of her neck. "Exclusive driver, on call 24 hours a day."

Gu Youran laughed and fell into his arms.

…

At the same time, inside the villa.

Mu Xuewei sat on the carpet, looking through the notes of the spell she had just learned.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages.

"The Jiuchen Bracelet has recognized you as its master."

The masked man's voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Now, try to wake it up."

Mu Xuewei took a deep breath and looked down at the silver bracelet on her wrist.

I studied with the teacher for two days, but when I really tried to use it, my fingers still shook unconsciously.

She gently turned the bracelet and whispered the spell: "Qi——"

The silver bracelet suddenly shook, and the first line glowed with a dark red light.

"good."

The masked man gave a rare compliment, "Now, look at that dead tree outside the window and focus."

Mu Xuewei closed her eyes, and the image of the crooked dead tree appeared clearly in her mind.

She bit her lower lip and suddenly raised her hand, "Bind—"

“Crack—”

With a crisp sound, she suddenly opened her eyes.

I saw the trunk of the dead tree outside the window break with a sound.

The upper half slammed to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

“It really worked…”

She stared at the red light flickering on her wrist, her voice trembling.

“This is just the beginning.”

The masked man took a step closer, "Now try controlling a living creature."

Mu Xuewei swallowed nervously, her eyes falling on the pigeons on the windowsill that were searching for food.

"start--"

She chanted the spell again, and the red light flickered.

The pigeon suddenly stopped moving and looked up alertly.

“Go on,” the man whispered, “imagine it flying into your hand.”

Mu Xuewei's forehead was covered with sweat, and she chanted the spell with concentration: "Come——"

The pigeon flapped its wings, but seemed to be held down by an invisible hand, and could only tilt its head to look at her.

Suddenly, it struggled violently a few times, broke free from the restraints and flew away in panic.

"ah--"

Mu Xuewei felt a pain in her wrist and the red light went out instantly.

"Too impatient."

The man grabbed her wrist and gently stroked the hot bracelet with his fingertips.

"Controlling living things requires a gradual approach. That's all for today."

Only then did Mu Xuewei realize that the second line on the bracelet was deeper than before.

"It's amazing..." she murmured to herself.

The masked man suddenly leaned over, his cold mask almost touching the back of her neck. "What's this? The true power of the Nine Stars Bracelet..."

He ran his fingers over the silver bracelet, "Even people's memories can be distorted."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Remember, the deeper the obsession, the greater the power. Hatred... is the best nourishment."

Mu Xuewei looked at his departing back, and the silver bracelet on her wrist suddenly vibrated slightly.

…

In the master bedroom of Shi Heng's villa, only a warm yellow wall lamp was on.

Gu Youran had just dried her hair with a hair dryer, and the ends of her hair still had a faint scent of gentian.

She was about to reach for the body lotion on the dressing table when the mattress behind her suddenly sank.

Shi Heng, who had finished his shower at some point, had already walked behind her and grabbed the bottle of lotion before her.

"I'll do it."

He was wearing a black silk dressing gown loosely pulled over him.

The belt was tied casually, revealing his muscular chest, with water droplets sliding down his collarbone.

He rubbed the lotion in his palm, and when his warm palm touched her lower back, Gu Youran couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What are you afraid of?"

Shi Heng's nose rubbed behind her ear, and his lips almost touched that sensitive skin.

Her voice was so low and hoarse as if it was soaked in honey, "I've been wiping my body every day for the past half month..."

His thumb circled her waist, and her nightgown had slipped half open without her noticing.

"I saw you closing your eyes and letting others manipulate you..."

The end of the sentence was cut off by the action of swallowing.

He held her earlobe in his mouth and bit it gently, then licked her earlobe with the tip of his tongue, causing Gu Youran to feel weak all over.

He took the opportunity to put his palm into the open robe, moving it from the waist all the way up.

When her fingertips rolled over her butterfly bones, she couldn't help but let out a very slight gasp.
