A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 234: A Very Popular Female
Clearly, the Imperial netizens had no idea that Yun Xie was an SS-level male.
They also didn’t know that all of Jiang Qin’s partners were S-level or higher, though there were only three of them at the moment.
So when they heard the Jiang Fans say this, their first reaction was that the fans were lying. But while one person might lie, a whole group of them...
After some hesitation, they decided to search on the Federation’s platforms.
And then, all sorts of trending topics about Jiang Qin popped up:
#Rundown: Why Jiang Qin Ignored Film and TV for the Music Industry#
#Want Jiang Qin to Focus on Film and TV? Suggestion: Seduce Her#
#As a C-level Female, What’s Her Secret to Attracting High-level Males?#
#Jiang Qin’s New Song Takes First Place Again#
#The Legend of the Condor Heroes Now Airing...#
The list went on and on, as if this female’s name was a permanent fixture on the Federation’s trending topics every day.
It was at this moment that the Imperial netizens finally understood why an Imperial variety show would invite Jiang Qin.
Because of her popularity, she was practically a permanent resident on the Federation’s trending charts.
Plus, with the Mecha competition happening, the networks between the two nations were open.
The only way to capture that Federation hype was to invite Jiang Qin onto a variety show.
Clearly, the director had succeeded.
The popularity of Jiang Qin’s livestream was the highest among the ten participants. Even when the Mecha competition began, her viewership barely dropped.
After all, the variety show’s livestream would be edited later.
Replays of the competition, on the other hand, could be watched anytime and would be completely unedited.
So, everyone knew which to choose.
However, the Imperial netizens weren’t there to learn about Jiang Qin’s popularity; they were mainly there to find out about her partners.
They refused to believe that in a world where Spiritual Power Level was everything, so many males would exist who didn’t care about a female’s Level.
After all, the higher a male’s Level, the more they feared death and the better they understood how to seek good fortune and avoid calamity.
In the end, they didn’t dig up much information about Jiang Qin’s partners, but they did uncover her body of work.
Besides her creative works, there were also many videos on short-form video platforms showing her at her job.
There were both males and females among those searching from the Empire.
They had originally arrived full of anger and disdain, but they gradually fell silent.

「Empire, Immortal City.」
Zheng Yue hurried home, only to be met with the sound of terrible, caterwauling singing coming from inside.
’Oh, it’s just my brother’s voice. Never mind, then.’
But the music his brother was playing in the background actually sounded pretty good, so he went right up to him and asked:
"Bro, what song are you listening to? It’s pretty good. I want to download it too."
Zheng Wen fell silent, his expression a little awkward.
"It’s... a song from the Federation."
Zheng Yue feigned exaggerated surprise. "Huh? The Federation actually has music? Hasn’t their music scene gone bankrupt yet?"
It wasn’t surprising he thought that way. Most songs from the Federation were more or less the same as those from the Empire.
But there was a matter of who did it first.
Their Empire had pioneered this style of music, and the Federation was just a copycat. So, of course, they looked down on Federation composers.
Zheng Wen was silent. ’Truthfully, I only started listening to find fault with it.’
As a male, he certainly wasn’t a fan of Ni Jia and had no intention of fighting her battles for her.
He simply hated everyone from the Federation with equal passion and refused to believe the outrageous claims made by Jiang Qin’s fans.
That’s why he wanted to find evidence to shut them up.
But in the process of searching, he had gotten sucked in.
People from the Federation only had to pay 2-5 Star Coins to download songs from music platforms.
But people from the Empire had to spend 20-50 Star Coins to download songs from the Federation.
Just a moment ago, he had already spent several hundred Star Coins.
Every song in his playlist bore the same name: Jiang Qin.
Seeing his brother’s silence, Zheng Yue raised an eyebrow, opened his Light Computer, and asked, "Which artist is it? What’s the song title?"
"It’s by the singer-songwriter Jiang Qin. The title is *No Place to Hide*."
Zheng Yue searched for Jiang Qin’s name directly, and a long playlist appeared, along with tons of videos.
’This singer-songwriter is pretty famous in the Federation,’ he immediately realized. ’And her name sounds a little familiar.’
He tapped "Download All." A sum of Star Coins was deducted, but he didn’t care. He started playing from the first song.
Zheng Yue chose to play it on the home sound system.
Soon, a pleasant singing voice filled the room.
It was a sweet song titled *Love You*.
The two brothers lay on the sofa, listening quietly.
When their family returned, they were greeted by the sight of the two brothers fast asleep on the sofa in broad daylight.
This stunned Mrs. Zheng. Her two sons had always suffered from sleep disorders.
Forget sleeping on the sofa; they needed sleeping medication even to fall asleep in their sleep pods.
’And now they’ve just fallen asleep so easily?’
Realizing this, she and her partners didn’t dare move, afraid of disturbing the boys.
After several minutes, they quietly backed out of the room.
When the Zheng brothers woke up, they felt a long-absent sense of physical contentment.
Their troubled Spirit Seas, though still a bit dizzy, were free from the constant, stabbing pain.
Zheng Yue hesitated. "Bro, does something feel... different to you?"
Zheng Wen nodded, his expression grave.
"It’s Spiritual Soothing."
"What?? But our family didn’t hire a soothing master."
Zheng Wen said, "When you were looking up Jiang Qin, didn’t you find out why she works at a bar?"
"She’s a soothing master at a bar. Those videos that look like concerts are recordings of her performing soothings."
"What?! Singing can be a form of soothing?!"
Zheng Wen was just as shocked.
’It’s completely outrageous, but when I think about it, it’s the only explanation.’
The two of them had listened to songs all afternoon, accidentally fallen asleep, and woken up feeling physically at ease.
’Other than being soothed, I can’t think of any other explanation.’
He considered checking his Riot Value but decided against it.
’My Riot Value probably hasn’t dropped. After all, this wasn’t a direct soothing, so the Calming Power would be greatly diminished. So there’s no point in checking. Sometimes, the data doesn’t tell the whole story.’
Realizing what he was thinking, Zheng Wen froze.
To think that just this afternoon, he’d been a male who firmly believed true affection didn’t exist—only the compatibility of Spiritual Power Levels mattered.
And yet now, he was thinking that data couldn’t explain everything...
The corner of Zheng Wen’s mouth twitched as he felt a pang of disgust at his own double standards.
Just then, his brother exclaimed, "Bro, I finally remember who she is! I knew her name sounded familiar."
Zheng Wen wasn’t surprised. ’Of course, I know,’ he thought. ’She was the champion of last year’s Interstellar Composer competition. So what? Their Empire produces lots of champions every year.’
But Zheng Yue said, "Bro, do you remember that movie we watched a few days ago, *I Am Not a God*?"
"I remember." Not only did he remember it, but the film had left a deep impression on him because he thought it was excellent.
"Bro, you’ll never guess! Jiang Qin was the screenwriter and director of that movie!"
Zheng Wen froze. He... he really would never have guessed.
After all, when people watch a movie, they usually only pay attention to the main cast and the director.
