These headlines were simply dazzling and eye-catching.

While the internet buzzed with activity, the print media journalists felt utterly frustrated.

It’s too unfair! How could they do this!

This is exactly how online media differs from traditional media.

When print media wants to publish news, they typically need to wait until the next day. But online media is different—they can respond immediately whenever there’s news.

Everyone learned the identity of the Divine Melody Envoy simultaneously. However, online media leveraged their convenience to instantly broadcast the news anywhere with internet access.

Meanwhile, the print media couldn’t do the same.

For one, print media has regional limitations and lacks the extensive coverage of the internet.

Still, print media knows how to adapt. By attending this release conference, they clearly anticipated that online media would be the first to spread the news.

Thus, many print media companies published various updates about the Divine Melody Envoy on their own digital platforms.

Some went as far as creating engaging animations for the next day’s edition to grab attention, paired with news about the Divine Melody Envoy.

At this moment, it was all about speed.

In an instant, terms like "Divine Melody Envoy," "Cross-Dressed Sensation," and "Li Changlin" shot up the trending charts. Especially "Divine Melody Envoy" and "Li Changlin"—their click and search rates would make even superstar divas green with envy and resentment.

Within just two hours of the release conference, Li Changlin’s Popularity Points in the System soared to 130 million.

And as time passed, the Popularity Points continued to rise.

This situation thrilled Li Changlin immensely. With more Popularity Points, he could exchange for more Skill Cards.

Currently, his cultivation level was only at the Late Stage of Virtual Energy. To strategize for the Xuanyuan Sword and Sky-opening Axe in the Upper Realm, Li Changlin had already decided to elevate his level to at least the Late Stage of Inch Strength or even the Peak level.

Only then would he feel confident enough to seize the Divine Artifacts in the Upper Realm.

After all, the Upper Realm not only has Gangjin experts.

Moreover, it’s rumored to harbor ancient cultivators with Danjin levels.

At this point, Li Changlin no longer worried about Inch Strength, but Gangjin would still create immense trouble for him.

It’s important to know that those who reached Gangjin level had a minimum combat power of Fifty Dragons, while his current cultivation barely reached Thirty Dragons. How could he compete with such formidable opponents?

After the release conference concluded successfully, Li Changlin and the others headed to a small meeting room to discuss album follow-ups. Huo Zhibiao knocked on the door, informing them that Jiahao Entertainment Chairman Duan Liqiang had requested to meet him.

Duan Liqiang was someone Li Changlin had become quite familiar with lately. He also knew that Xu Xin had now become Duan Liqiang’s personal assistant.

What does it mean to be an assistant? Li Changlin was crystal clear about that.

However, he no longer harbored any thoughts about Xu Xin.

Xu Xin lacked self-respect; it was her choice, and she had no further connection to Li Changlin.

After pondering for a moment, Li Changlin instructed Huo Zhibiao to invite Duan Liqiang in.

Sky Horse was in the middle of hosting a release conference, and Duan Liqiang’s arrival clearly signified ill intentions.

Still, Li Changlin remained indifferent.

Whatever Jiahao’s plans might be, and no matter Duan Liqiang’s thoughts, he would continue driving forward with the proposal to acquire Jiahao.

"President Li, do you think we should step out for now?"

Feng Yongrui asked softly.

Li Changlin raised his hand, gesturing slightly, and said casually, "There’s no need. Perhaps we can directly discuss the acquisition plan with Duan Liqiang later."

Feng Yongrui’s lips twitched slightly. He thought, given Duan Liqiang’s strong-willed nature, there’s no way he’d accept an acquisition proposal.

Nonetheless, Li Changlin was the boss, and Bai Zicong and Chen Zhengxin hadn’t expressed their opinions either, so Feng Yongrui simply nodded silently.

Soon, Duan Liqiang, led by Huo Zhibiao, swaggered into the meeting room.

Alongside him was Xu Xin.

Li Changlin glanced indifferently at Xu Xin, then completely ignored her, directing his focus to Duan Liqiang.

"Mr. Li, I never thought you would be the Divine Melody Envoy!"

Duan Liqiang laughed heartily, extending his large hand as if greeting an old friend. He enthusiastically said to Li Changlin, "Mr. Li, I’ve wanted to talk to you ever since your participation in Xuanyuan Heavenly Voice. I’m Duan Liqiang from Jiahao Entertainment. If you’d be willing to join our company, here’s the signing amount I’d offer!"

With his right hand stretched toward Li Changlin and his left index finger pointed up, Li Changlin made no move to shake hands. Instead, he smiled faintly and replied calmly, "President Duan, you really think highly of me, willing to offer me a signing bonus of 1 billion!"

"Mr. Li, you’re teasing me, aren’t you!"

Li Changlin remained seated, refusing to shake his hand, which instantly made Duan Liqiang’s face darken.

Especially since Li Changlin mentioned a billion-dollar signing bonus—obviously mocking him.

A billion dollars? That was outright naive thinking!

While Jiahao was strong, its market value was only around five or six billion. For Li Changlin to demand such an outrageous sum immediately was like opening his mouth as wide as a lion. How could Duan Liqiang stomach that?

Not only Duan Liqiang but even Xu Xin thought Li Changlin must have gone crazy.

A billion dollars? Only a lunatic would name such a figure.

Xu Xin’s expression was filled with complex emotions.

This man—her ex-boyfriend, whom she’d once looked down upon—turned out to be the Divine Melody Envoy. Not only that, but he was now the Supreme Streamer on Brothers Live, his net worth far surpassing the wildest ambitions she’d ever held in her heart.

Still, Xu Xin understood that now Li Changlin could never belong to her again.

To be honest, her heart held a faint trace of sorrow.

If she’d known Li Changlin would achieve what he did today, why would she have ever been the villain? Wouldn’t it have been better to remain loyal to him?

But no matter how much she regretted it, the outcome was already decided. It was impossible to change.

Moreover, now that she was with Duan Liqiang, she really didn’t feel that her future would fall short compared to Li Changlin’s.

With Jiahao Entertainment backing her, her prospects were undeniably radiant.

Especially considering that she’d won fifth place in this season’s Xuanyuan Heavenly Voice.

Though she hadn’t reached the top four, and the regret in her heart was undeniable, with Jiahao as her support, her future achievements wouldn’t be much worse than those of the runner-up or third-place winner.

As for the champion, Wang Yiyi, Xu Xin felt there was no room for comparison.

She now realized that all the songs Wang Yiyi performed were written by Li Changlin.

Thinking about these things filled Xu Xin’s heart with jealousy.

If she’d stayed with Li Changlin, then this season’s Xuanyuan Heavenly Voice champion might have been her instead!

Sorrow, envy, jealousy, resentment, and more!

Xu Xin’s emotions were utterly complicated at the moment.

However, Li Changlin paid her no mind whatsoever.
