Getting married has put a lot of hats on my head...

But it was only Yan Huan, who looked at everything before him as if he were watching a horror film.

Teacher, it seems like something's a little off with our Yan Huan!

"Ha, Ye Lan, are you not going to mention the things you did first? If you hadn't hypnotized Yan Huan, would he have married Ye Shiyu?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan hadn't yet reacted, but Bai Yi turned completely red first.

Her sympathy vanished in an instant, turning into explosive anger.

"Bang!!"

The next second, she smacked the table forcefully while Yan Huan looked on in surprise.

Interrupting their conversation, Bai Yi glared at the mothers and an aunt in front of her, accusing them,

"How... how could you do this?! What do you take Yan Huan for?!"

"..."

The atmosphere froze in a moment's silence.

Then Sakuragi Yuri opened her fan and laughed.

Even Tong Yingying smirked coldly, shaking her head at Bai Yi.

"What... what are you laughing at?!"

Bai Yi didn't understand, but Sakuragi Yuri chuckled softly, saying,

"Little Bai Yi, didn't we agree, it's a deal..."

"A deal?"

"Yes, we'll help you become successful, and you stay out of our business and away from Yan Huan."

"Eh?"

Wait...

Successful?

What does that mean?

"Ah, do you really think that because someone's been flattering you lately, that you're a singing genius and achieved this fame on your own?"

Sakuragi Yuri waved her fan, her smile insincere,

"If it weren't for Ye Lan hypnotizing the judges at the world competition, if I hadn't opened international markets for you, and if Alvira hadn't capitalized behind the scenes...

"How would you have what you have today? Wear brand-name bags and receive flattery...

"Relying on your useless superpower, or your foolish mother?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Wait!

I... I thought it was because of my talent that I became so famous in this world line...

Turns out...

Turns out you helped me cheat?!

"!!"

Feeling humiliated, Bai Yi was instantly infuriated.

She tightened her grip on her pocket watch, on the brink of explosion.

"Don't forget, everything here is fake... you really do sing well, there's no doubt about it meow."

"Eh?"

Yet in the next second, the white cat in her arms suddenly spoke, causing Bai Yi to pause.

She looked down but only saw the steady back of the white cat in her arms.

"..."

Gazing at the back of Yan Ye, the fury on Bai Yi's face slowly subsided.

She puffed out her cheeks and clenched her pink fists in restraint,

"It's just... I sing really well! Otherwise, why would Yan Huan be my die-hard fan?!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the white cat's body trembled slightly.

Actually, he just wanted to stop Bai Yi from losing her head.

Remember, even though this is an if-line, if you die, you die for real!

Anyway, before 4:44 tomorrow, she has to stay alive!

While everything else could be managed, Bai Yi had indifference and time stop, and if nothing else worked, running was certainly an option.

But the problem was she was facing the mighty Dream Team, fully equipped!

Even if she tried to run, she'd be quickly vaporized!

But then again, no wonder the intensity of this if-line was so high; it's like playing with fire that one's afraid to get burned by.

Then...

If so, why didn't the modifier choose them from the start?

Was it because they didn't expect this to happen?

Or was it due to luck or unique conditions like Little Thumb?

"Hehe... hahaha..."

Seeing Bai Yi's fury turn into anger, Sakuragi Yuri couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Boom!!"

But just then, Alvira, who had remained silent, gently tapped the table.

"Buzz!!"

Instantly, an overwhelming sense of pressure came over everyone, causing their expressions to change.

"Do I need to reiterate the rules of our 'Modifier Host Association'?"

Alone, Alvira raised her icy blue eyes, scanning everyone present.

As she spoke, golden texts appeared on the wall beside her.

"Rule One: Do not use superpowers on other hosts or their family and friends."

"Rule Two: Control your desires, do not let the modifier enter the third stage, causing the Evil God to descend."

"Rule Three: Never let others discover the existence of the modifier."

"Rule Four: Hosts must help each other, seek the greatest interest with superpowers."

Seeing those lines of golden text, as if cast in iron, everyone lowered their eyes, not daring to meet its fierce glow.

"Not just out of these rules, 'now' we have no reason to do so...

"Aria now hates me to the point of never wanting to see me again, even going alone to Dragon Country, whereabouts unknown..."

Saying this, a pained expression flickered in Alvira's eyes.

"Sakuragi Yuri is tormented by other personalities every day, her daughter doesn't even know who her real mother is...

"And Tong Yingying can't feel even the slightest pleasure anymore, what good is taking Yan Huan? Just for show?"

Under Alvira's lead, the atmosphere gradually returned to order.

Seeing this, Yan Huan finally understood why the modifier didn't choose them.

It's truly a double-edged sword...

Indeed, the pressure was overwhelming, getting played by these mothers to the point of being untouchable.

But conversely, the modifiers were toyed with to the point they couldn't even welcome the Evil God's arrival.

What was the point of handing them a Golden Finger?

Listening to Alvira's powerful words, Ye Lan's expression slowly calmed,

"So who exactly is it? Who could make Xiao Huan disappear without a trace under our noses?"

She murmured, puzzled...

And they all began to ponder this question.

But as they pondered, their eyes...

Somehow settled in unison on Bai Yi.

"Hiss, wait a minute..."

"Yes, upon reflection, Bai Yi seldom used the modifier and had no notable side effects...

"Her abilities could indeed stealthily take Yan Huan away without anyone knowing...

"Moreover, this kid's been coveting Yan Huan for a long time, yet never had a taste because of us..."

As they analyzed, Bai Yi looked around at everyone in confusion...

Only Yan Huan sensed the fearsome danger approaching.

Reinforcement!!
