Chapter Sixteen: “Child of the Future” Begins Filming! Yang Xiaomi Stuns the Stage with Her Beauty!

"The live broadcast auditions for the show are now officially beginning! Please proceed to the competition area! Beauty Track contestants, head through that passage; Magic Voice Track contestants, this way; Unique Star Track contestants, that passage over there!"

Three stairways led to different passages, each clearly marked with the name of its respective track. Staff members were busy guiding everyone.

"Is it starting?"

Jiang Yi took a deep breath as he walked in with Wang Ao, following the other Unique Star Track contestants. He couldn’t help feeling nervous inside.

Although he was a transmigrator, this was the first time he’d experienced such a large-scale live broadcast. Before crossing over, he had just been an ordinary person!

Now, with the three most popular Star Promoters present, it was easy to imagine the event drawing massive attention, the atmosphere electric with excitement.

"Will I make it to the next round?"

Jiang Yi was uncertain. Even with classic theme songs from Earth to help him, his professional skills were only average—hardly a match for contestants from specialized music schools.

Soon enough, all the contestants from the three tracks had entered.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast equipment—already strategically placed—covered every angle of the central stage, ready to stream everything as it happened. The live broadcast room was already open.

On TengE Video, the show’s channel was featured right on the homepage. Anyone logging into TengE Video would immediately see that The Son of Tomorrow was airing... One click, and they’d enter the live broadcast of the show.

However, the cameras weren’t yet focused on Jiang Yi and the other contestants, but rather on the stage and the giant screen behind it.

Jiang Yi and Wang Ao followed the rest of the contestants, taking seats in the area reserved for Unique Star Track participants.

"Hey, Jiang Yi, don’t run off. We went to the same high school for three years, didn’t we? No need to treat me like a stranger."

Jiang Yi had no intention of getting tangled up with Wang Ao, yet Wang Ao insisted on sticking by him, even sitting down at his side.

Jiang Yi made no response. After all, Wang Ao could sit wherever he liked.

But after Wang Ao’s previous behavior, Jiang Yi couldn’t muster any warmth for him now.

At this moment, the lights in the contestants’ area were dim, not brightly lit. The three tracks’ contestants sat in their designated sections.

In front of them was a massive screen, playing promotional videos about The Son of Tomorrow, the three Star Promoters declaring their slogans in turn.

Before the screen stood the stage itself.

Shortly after the contestants were seated, a host appeared on stage.

"Welcome, everyone~!"

"Welcome to the live broadcast of The Son of Tomorrow! I’m your host, Zhang Xiaoxiao!"

The host was a slightly effeminate man, but his enthusiasm was infectious as he beamed and greeted the crowd loudly: "Welcome to all our contestants! Welcome! Welcome, future superstars!"

"Of course, we must also welcome our entire audience! Everyone here in the live broadcast room, you are about to witness the birth of tomorrow’s superstar!"

"And of course, we mustn’t forget to welcome our three beloved Star Promoters... The hottest actress of the moment, Ms. Yang Xiaomi~~~!"

"And the most popular singer-songwriter and Prince of Love Songs, Mr. Xue Zhi~~~!"

"And last but not least, the King of High Notes, Mr. Hua Chen~~!!"

"Now, our three Star Promoters aren’t here on stage just yet; they’re backstage, preparing for their opening acts!"

"That’s right! Each one of them is going to perform for us tonight, delivering a spectacular show!"

"So, all our viewers out there, since you’ve tuned in, don’t go anywhere—don’t even think about leaving... The excitement is about to begin!!"

"For now, the Star Promoters are still getting ready..."

At that moment, a staff member approached. Zhang Xiaoxiao took a quick glance at a phone handed to him.

He continued, "Let me read a few comments from the live chat, see if everyone’s excited to see the three Star Promoters perform…"

"I can already see some of your comments. Let me read a few…"

"Is Yang Xiaomi really going to sing? Did I hear that right? Can’t wait!"

"Xue Zhi, Xue Zhi! Hurry up and sing! I’ve got my bench ready!"

"Hua Hua is the coolest!"

As he read through, he suddenly encountered:

"Get this neither-male-nor-female Zhang Xiaoxiao off the stage…"

Zhang Xiaoxiao’s expression faltered for a moment, but he forced a wry smile and said, "You’re breaking my heart! Sure, I may not be the most masculine, but I’m not that androgynous, am I?"

He put on a look of grievance.

Finally, he smoothed things over: "Of course, I know you’re all just eager to see our three Star Promoters..."

Then, listening to the voice in his earpiece, a staff member informed him that Yang Xiaomi was ready.

Zhang Xiaoxiao raised his voice: "Alright, let’s bring on the person you’re all dying to see—Ms. Yang Xiaomi!"

"Tell me, do you want to see her? Audience over here, do you want to see her?"

"And over here—do you want to see her? Let me know!"

"If you want to see Ms. Yang Xiaomi, let me hear your cheers…"

"And viewers in the live room, type 1 if you want to see her..."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoxiao held the microphone out to the contestant-audience seated in different areas.

The contestants, hearing that Yang Xiaomi was about to put on an opening show, enthusiastically cheered along, giving Zhang Xiaoxiao face.

Jiang Yi joined in, shouting as well.

One had to admit, compared to the androgynous Zhang Xiaoxiao, the devilishly attractive, stunning Yang Xiaomi was far more pleasing to the eye.

Even though Yang Xiaomi was primarily an actress and her singing skills weren’t expected to be exceptional.

With the live atmosphere now ablaze, every contestant was shouting in anticipation for her appearance.

Online, viewers were also going wild, spamming the chat with 1s, the screen awash with excitement.

Only when he was satisfied with the hype did Zhang Xiaoxiao finally stop.

Whatever else could be said about Zhang Xiaoxiao’s personal charm, his professionalism as a host was undeniable.

Seeing the energy in the room at its peak, Zhang Xiaoxiao announced loudly, "Now, let’s officially welcome... Ms. Yang Xiaomi, as she brings us her opening performance... Welcome~~~!!!"

As Zhang Xiaoxiao finished, the stage curtain rose!

He immediately exited the stage.

Then—

A stunning woman with an hourglass figure and long, wavy hair strode to the center of the stage, moving with feline grace.

Surrounded by dancers, all eyes were on Yang Xiaomi.

She wore ultra-short shorts and a tight, sizzling crop top that bared her midriff.

She began to sing, choosing the theme song from a drama she had starred in years before.

Of course, in this world, Yang Xiaomi looked just like the person from the world Jiang Yi had come from, but her representative works here were nothing like those from his previous life.

The theme song she performed now was unfamiliar to Jiang Yi.

This was a parallel world.

None of the artistic works from his former world existed here.

Still, even if Yang Xiaomi’s famous works weren’t the same as those from his past life, the theme song she sang was well known in this world, thanks to the television drama.

The song wasn’t especially challenging, so even though Yang Xiaomi wasn’t a professional singer, she managed to pull it off.

And in truth, when beauty is this dazzling, singing ability becomes almost irrelevant.

"Yang Xiaomi~!"

"Yang Xiaomi~~~ I love you!!"

"Wow, wow, Yang Xiaomi, you’re my wife~~"

"Yang Xiaomi, Daddy loves you..."

Contestants from all three tracks had gone wild, shouting and whooping.

After all, every contestant was male, aged between sixteen and twenty-six—an age when youthful passions run high. Who among them could resist Yang Xiaomi’s allure?
