Therefore, she talked a little more off-topic.

Other people's good intentions don't always align with your wishes; sometimes they can be unpleasant or even useless.

That's why there's the saying "honest advice is unpleasant to the ear."

But for some reason, these few words of advice, along with the previous reminders sent by Jiang Xiong, suddenly became sharp in Bai Yi's eyes.

Once again, the tips of Bai Yi's hair were tinged with an illusory transparency, but this time she didn't even realize it.

In her heart, the self-doubt that she was supposed to reflect on shrank instantly, and the suggestions from Lucina became just as insignificant.

What An Le? Yan Huan clearly likes me.

What Lucina? My singing skills are excellent; I just need a bit of time to settle.

What right do you have to lecture me just because you've been in the industry longer?

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

In Bai Yi's arms, the hands of her pocket watch slowly turned, emitting a clock-like sound akin to water droplets.

At this moment, the hesitance on Bai Yi's face disappeared entirely, replaced by self-confident disdain.

"Hmph~"

Bai Yi gently flicked her black hair, sending a message to Jiang Xiong saying "definitely not," while also telling Lucina,

"No need for seniors to worry about my business... Also, I'm not an actress anymore, I'm now a singer."

"..."

Lucina was momentarily stunned by this response, then her expression turned indifferent.

"I hope that's the case."

After saying that, Lucina stood up and turned to leave the dressing room.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xiong was also left speechless by Bai Yi's words and stopped sending messages.

Watching Lucina leave with an unpleasant expression, Bai Yi pursed her lips and muttered to herself,

"Hmph, what's so special. You'll see when we perform on the same stage later, my skills won't lose to yours."

She spoke defiantly as she proceeded to change clothes in the dressing room.

When she came out, having just placed her changed clothes down, a sudden sound of a cat's meow came from outside the door,

"Meow meow meow!"

Bai Yi turned her head in confusion, seeing a panicked black cat dash into the dressing room,

"A cat?"

Bai Yi stood up, just as the black cat instinctively jumped toward her shoulder.

However, because Bai Yi's shoulders weren't as broad as Yan Huan's, the cat couldn't balance and slid into Bai Yi's arms.

"You..."

Bai Yi hurriedly caught the black cat, and as soon as she did, she couldn't help exclaiming,

"What a chubby cat!"

"Meow?!"

Upon hearing this, the black cat was about to get angry, but upon seeing that the person holding it was Bai Yi, its emerald green eyes widened,

"Meow!!"

It hurriedly waved its soft paws at Bai Yi, frantically signaling something, almost desperate to speak.

Bai Yi couldn't understand what it was trying to express, and asked confusedly,

"You look so chubby; you must be someone's pet... But how did a cat end up in the hospital?"

"Meow meow meow!!"

"You're meowing continuously, what do you want to say?"

"..."

What else can it express?

Run, Bai Yi!!!

At this moment, Bai Yi, reminded by the continuous meowing, gradually began to sense that something was off.

She suddenly noticed that the warm lighting in the room was starting to take on a taint of unclean ambiguity.

Pink crawled across the floor, making the already dim dressing room even darker.

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

In Bai Yi's arms, the pocket watch seemed to sense danger, and the hands began to spin faster.

"Click~"

This ominous disturbance made Bai Yi ponder for a second, then instinctively make a decision...

She directly threw the cat down to the ground!

"Meow?!"

The abandoned cat looked back at Bai Yi in disbelief, only to find that she had already vanished.

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

Oh no, Bai Yi activated her No Presence mode and hid away!!

The cat froze in place, then angrily began to meow,

"Meow meow meow!"

It had been chased by Little Thumb all the way and saw An Le heading over here, so it sprinted ahead to warn Bai Yi to escape.

Who knew after warning her, she'd be abandoned!?

No... No, I have to get back to Yan Huan!

Just as the cat was about to use Instantaneous Movement to return to Yan Huan, the dressing room door opened.

Outside the door, An Le appeared, holding the door handle and gazing inside, looking harmless to people and animals.

On her shoulder, a terrifying illusory cobra coiled,

It flicked its tongue, gazing at the cat with wide eyes in the middle of the room,

"Stupid cat! So this is where you ran off to..."

"..."

Seeing An Le, the cat's chubby body suddenly stiffened, and the pressure went up in an instant.

Should I...

Should I activate the modifier?

Seeing that escape wasn't currently an option, the cat briefly pondered and then made an instinctive decision immediately.

"Meow~"

It blinked its eyes, wagging its tail cutely, and walked toward An Le, rubbing its chubby body against her pant leg, attempting to charm its way out.

An Le glanced down at the cat, picked it up into her arms.

On her shoulder, the illusory Little Thumb flicked its tongue, glaring fiercely at the black bun in her arms,

"Hmph, this stupid cat is the one that hit me earlier! I want to eat it!"

"Enough, Little Thumb..."

An Le cradled the cat in her arms, looking up towards the empty dressing room.

Strangely enough, before Bai Yi activated her No Presence, An Le could hear the sound of the illusory clock ticking, but now she couldn't hear it at all.

She glanced around in confusion, then slowly walked toward the vanity table Bai Yi had used earlier.

On the vanity, Bai Yi's clothes, which she had just taken off, still lay there.

An Le reached out to touch them lightly...

They were warm.
