Whose Nirvana (Part 7)
[Brassflower is suspected of cheating in the competition, and Kuronuma fans ask: Is he addicted to acting?]
[No capital behind this? Are the lone wolf personas of all the members of Thorn Flower a deliberate marketing move?]
[Lin Yuzhu shaved her head for publicity: imitating the 3468th champion's style to gain attention]

The truth behind Song Baiyue's withdrawal! Insider reveals: He refused to follow the team's script.
Looking at the countless conflicting reports, Kaiya almost crushed the public terminal in front of him.
Seeing this, the parrot fanned his head with its wings and said, "You are so poor and can't afford to pay, why are you working so hard?"
Kaiya was frantic, "...Can you please stop watching rural idol dramas? Where did you learn that accent..." Finally, he said seriously, "I thought our public opinion situation would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult."
Five minutes later.
Nearly three hundred first-year students from the Fighting Department rushed into the dormitory's public computer room, and the sound of their footsteps made dust fall from the ceiling.
"Classmates!" Kaiya jumped onto the front desk, shaking the terminal on it so much that it was about to fall. The parrot quickly pushed it back with its small body.
"Look at your biceps! Feel your eight-pack! Think about where you got them!"
Someone in the audience rubbed their flabby bellies and silently tucked their shirts into their pants. The rest of the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. "Vajra Kung Fu?"
“Who taught you Vajra Kung?”
Someone reacted: "It's Rinne!"
Some people even called out "Boss Rinone".
Kaiya nodded with satisfaction. "Who made your physical and agility all increase, allowing you to successfully pass the test?"
“…Boss Rinone!” This time, the voices were much more uniform.
"Who made you finally grow hair after being bald for three years?"
"Boss Rinone!"
"Who beat up all the mythical beasts and made them never look down on us again?"
“Boss Rin-ne—!!”
The voices rose in volume, and the crowd cheered, raising their input tablets like weapons. Some, tears welling in their eyes, touched their thick hairlines.
"Look at these reports!" Kaia turned the terminal screen in front of him to face the audience. "Would they dare to write about the children of the nobility like this? Would they dare to write about the academy with a good relationship with the Fantasy Beast Palace like this?"
He continued to raise his arms and shout, "Because we are civilians, they cannot see my strength and do not care about our thoughts. They think that there is no one behind Boss Linyin! Can we agree to this?"
"cannot!!!"
"Alright!" Kaeya pulled a stack of "108 Ways to Elegantly Fight Haters" from his trouser pocket and began handing them out. "We can't afford personal terminals, but we can use the dormitory's computer room. From now on, we'll form teams of forty, each on duty one day a week, to counter all false information and negative comments directed at Boss Rin! The input board is our phantom beast! The Star Network is our battlefield!"
In the corridor, a senior student peeked in, "Is there...a war?"
……………………
Song Baiyue was immersed in the culture medium. His beautiful face made him look like a fairy. There were no wounds on his body, but he looked lifeless.
A figure wrapped in mist walked out of the shadows.
A hand pressed on the glass of the incubator.
Song Baiyue opened his eyes in the liquid and saw a dark red animal egg beneath the hand. The ominous dark red color clung tightly to the glass, as if sending him some signal.
He was shown the egg for just a moment before it was taken back.
The shadow guard turned on the brain wave transmission device next to the incubator and began typing.
[Good day, chosen by Frost. Make a pact with the Lord of All Devourers, and everything in the Hall of Fantasy Beasts will be under your control. Mr. Maotan has prepared three hundred years of mead, waiting to be drunk with you once the deed is accomplished.]
Song Baiyue found it a little funny.
Flora had maintained an iron fist over the years, yet the Shadow Guards had been infiltrated and left like a sieve. Their good captain had long been Maotan's man—yes, Song Baiyue saw through his true identity at a glance. Even for those with keen senses like theirs, the Mist Hidden Armor couldn't conceal the idiosyncrasies of those they'd spent so much time with.
The King of All Devourers... is the exclusive fantasy beast of every successive master of the Fantasy Beast Hall.
Initially, it was precisely because only the Frost family could contract the All-Devouring King that Flora resolutely planted a scarlet rose in her body in order to truly control the Hall of Fantasy Beasts.
Flora couldn't make a contract back then, so how could he, a living dead nailed here, do it now?
Could it be that... he, who had grown up in an orphanage as long as he could remember, was the lost descendant of the Frost family?
He laughed at himself.
However, a glimmer of hope rose from the bottom of my heart.
If the Frost family were considered a small imperial court, Maotan would be incredibly powerful—even sidelining the emperor's chancellor. Would he risk eliminating a crucial player in a futile effort?
...In this case, Mao Tan may have clear evidence that he is the lost child of the Frost family and can make a contract with the Lord of All Devourers.
He was persecuted by Flora and was a natural target to be won over, so he tried to take a risky move to help him escape.
The Myriad Devouring King, undeniably the most powerful mythical beast. But that wasn't what he cared about. If... if he could truly contract the Myriad Devouring King, he could control the Phantasmal Beast Hall through the methods passed down by the Frost family's ancestors—and then, Rin would be safe. No force would dare persecute her again, no one would be able to harm her.
Song Baiyue's heart was beating violently, and a hint of blood appeared on his pale face. The pointer of the life indicator dial fluctuated greatly.
The Shadow Guard Captain was about to open the hatch and hand the phantom beast egg to Song Baiyue, but suddenly froze.
A scarlet vine pierced through his chest, and the bloody tip hovered in front of Song Baiyue's eyes.
The dark red phantom beast egg was swept away by another vine and returned to the hands of the woman who was walking towards her.
"Looks like we need to make a third experiment list." She looked at the Shadow Guard Captain as if he were a dead person. "You, followed Mao Tan?"
Without waiting for his confirmation or denial, Flora continued, "The Devourer King gave us Number Nine the eggs... I was wondering why he sent someone to the archives to secretly obtain Number Nine's genetic sample. It seems like he made some major discovery."
She played with the egg, poking its surface hard with her long nails.
The Shadow Guard Captain's mouth was filled with gushing blood. He was coughing violently and was completely unable to speak.
Boom.
He remained pierced by the vines and was thrown into another culture medium tank.
Flora said impatiently, "Okay, can you speak now?"
The only sound in the laboratory answering her was the gurgling sound of bubbles.
Wow.
The Shadow Guard Captain sat up, the vine that passed through his chest supporting him, allowing his mouth to float above the water to speak. However, he used his face, which was completely above the water, to form a provocative smile.
"The Fantasy Beast Palace...will eventually return to its true master..."
It was as if I knew my death was approaching, but instead I felt a sense of security as if my heart was in my pocket.
The next second, Song Baiyue's body was pulled up by an invisible force and slammed heavily against the alloy wall of the laboratory. A vine roughly pried open his mouth, and the barbed tip pressed against his throat.
"The real master? Number Nine?" Flora scoffed. "How useless are the younger generation of the Frost family? Mao Tan can only focus on poaching my people." She waved her hand, and the tip of the vine dug into Song Baiyue's collar, aiming at his heart. "The real master... tsk. The one who survives is the real master."
The vines pierced Song Baiyue's chest.
The Shadow Guard Captain laughed heartily, "Flora, do you still remember Fei Rui?"
Hearing this name, Flora seemed to be electrocuted, and her whole breath became chaotic for a moment.
"Number Nine's genes... are completely consistent with the sample Fei Rui left behind." He looked at the dying Song Baiyue, "Number Nine is your lost biological son, Fei Rui."
The smile on the Shadow Guard Captain's face froze. He bit the disguised ceramic tooth and the large dose of neurotoxin destroyed his body in an instant.
Seeing the person who had followed her for more than ten years turned into a sticky liquid, Flora calmed down instead.
"Peach." She called to her subordinates hidden in the shadows, "Send Number Nine... no, Fei Rui," she turned away and closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to witness what she had done, "to the medical area."
