A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 51: Mermaid

Princess? Prince Consort??

’What in the world...?’

Wen Jiahui was completely confused.

’The title of Princess is still used in the Empire, but Prince Consort... isn’t that a term from the history books?’

’Besides, even if some princess from the Empire died, what does that have to do with Wen Jiaqi?’

’Is it really necessary to cry like this?’

Wen Jiahui was speechless.

He finally learned through Wen Jiaqi’s sobbing that a Princess and her Prince Consort had both died for their country.

Although he found the story moving, he didn’t think it was something to cry over.

"Wen Jiaqi, you’re getting more and more dramatic. You don’t even get this emotional watching those life-and-death dramas on TV."

Wen Jiaqi continued to wail, "WAAAH... I don’t know why either! I just feel so, so sad in my heart. It’s so strange."

As she cried, a phantom-like image suddenly drifted out from between her eyebrows.

"!!!" Wen Jiahui’s eyes flew open. "Oh no, oh no! Wen Jiaqi, your Spiritual Body came out! Don’t move, I’ll call a doctor!"

Wen Jiaqi didn’t need to be told; she was already frozen in place.

She didn’t have a partner yet, so this was the first time she had ever met her own Spiritual Body.

It was a pure white peacock, and its eyes were currently swollen. After emerging, it nuzzled against her mournfully, as if comforting her.

Meanwhile, the spiritual power emanating from it was slowly flowing into Wen Jiahui’s body.

The soothing effect on his Spirit Sea was incredibly obvious, making Wen Jiahui’s eyes widen.

He was in the middle of calling the hospital, but upon seeing this, he hesitated for a moment before hanging up and calling their father instead.

"Dad, come back quickly! Something’s wrong with Wen Jiaqi’s Spiritual Body!!"

"What’s going on? Hurry up and tell me!" an anxious voice came from the other end, accompanied by the sound of something crashing.

The person on the other end was probably rushing back in such a hurry that he didn’t even care about bumping into things.

Wen Jiaqi quickly spoke up, "Dad, don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense. I’m fine, this is normal. It’s happening because I listened to Jiang Qin’s song."

"?? Who’s Jiang Qin?"

Their father was usually very busy, so Wen Jiaqi didn’t find it strange that he wasn’t aware of the recent events on the Star Network.

So she quickly explained everything.

She then reassured him, "It’s okay. I’m not the first one. The first female this happened to was already taken to the Main Star."

Despite this, their father still felt they needed to be cautious.

"Don’t let word of this get out. We’ll talk more when I get back."

"Okay."

Perhaps because her emotions had calmed down, Wen Jiaqi’s Spiritual Body returned to her Spirit Sea.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qin was on the Star Network, checking the feedback for her music videos.

She had created these music videos today using her Superpower.

After recording them, she saw no issues. They were basically identical to the real thing. As long as no one tried to physically touch anything during the ’shoot,’ who would know they were just constructs of spiritual power?

Each music video was short, so it didn’t consume much of her spiritual power.

Even after creating videos for all her uploaded songs, her energy was still abundant.

’I feel like I could probably record two episodes of a TV show or an anime in one go without any problem,’ she thought.

’In one day, I could probably manage seven or eight episodes. Unless I run into a bottleneck or something, of course.’

For now, the majority of the feedback was positive.

With the addition of music videos, the songs felt much more immersive.

The number of followers on her official Star Network account was skyrocketing, and her song’s play counts were soaring.

Her reputation value was also continuously rising.

[Does anyone get me? This is the first time in my life that the first of the month has felt so blissful.]

[July is truly a music lover’s paradise!]

[It’s not just several new songs from Jiang Qin; a lot of artists released songs this month.]

[That’s normal. They have to compete with the Empire’s music scene for the year-end charts. The year is already half over. If they don’t jump in now, they probably won’t even get a ticket to the main event.]

[To be honest, I feel like even if they all join in, it’s still a long shot. After all, Jiang Qin alone already has five songs in the top ten on the current charts.]

[The newcomers can’t beat Jiang Qin, and the veterans don’t need to compete. She’s completely dominating the new music charts, okay?]

[If she competes at the end of the year and wins an award, will she get two awards like Gu Xi did, for both songwriter and singer?]

[Probably, assuming she can win an award.]

[Can you brainless stans stop daydreaming here? She’s just a rookie winning through novelty. What real skill does she have? Her, worthy of being compared to Gu Xi? And even Gu Xi couldn’t even crack the top ten against that group of Mermaids from the Empire.]

Those who were about to argue back were instantly deflated.

’Yeah, Jiang Qin is amazing, and at least she’s finally broken the mold. She doesn’t have to imitate the Empire’s songs anymore and has her own style. But what does she have to compete against that group of exceptionally talented Mermaids?!’

It’s not that she wasn’t good enough; it’s that those with Mermaid Genes were just too ridiculously overpowered.

It was an innate ability.

Besides their stunning looks, they possessed heavenly voices and immense charisma, attracting enormous fanbases.

Ordinary singers found it difficult to snatch votes from them when competing on the same stage.

After all, Federation singers couldn’t win over the fans of the Mermaid Beastmen, but those Mermaids *could* win over the Federation singers’ own fans.

Every year, many fans would switch their allegiance on the spot.

So, even though Jiang Qin’s fans adored her, they had to admit one fact.

She might not be able to compete with those Mermaids.

The top ten spots in the Empire were almost completely dominated by singers with Mermaid Genes. Every year, all the contestants vying for the charts were Mermaids.

The top singers from the Federation couldn’t even place until after the top twenty.

Only Gu Xi had managed to snag tenth place during his first competition, just barely making it onto the list.

And in the years that followed, he never competed again.

Everyone speculated that he must have been crushed by the experience. After all, when he was a rookie, he had been full of high spirits.

Just like Jiang Qin was now, hyped up by so many people.

[Gu Xi? Hah, what a coward.]

[I hope Jiang Qin doesn’t become the next Gu Xi and can have a longer career in the music industry.]

[Hmph, just you wait and see! Jiang Qin will definitely beat that group of Mermaids! They might be able to bewitch people, but our Jiang Qin has a special talent too!]

This sentence reminded many people.

’That’s right! Jiang Qin is someone whose songs can make a female’s Spiritual Body emerge on its own!’

’Isn’t Spiritual Soothing stronger than whatever ability the Mermaids have?’

’Those Mermaids are beautiful and can mesmerize many females, but Jiang Qin is just as good-looking! There are plenty of males infatuated with her, too.’

’Besides, in the Interstellar era, the male population is larger anyway.’

’If there’s a voting segment, Jiang Qin might not actually lose to those Mermaids.’

With this thought, Jiang Qin’s fans began to feel confident again.
