As Shen Yuan prepares himself for the Awakener Test, the place that is the least of his concerns is currently boiling. It turns out a small-time Mewtuber is actually among the crowd, and he managed to capture in his livestream Shen Yuan’s bitchy-mode against the reporter from Wuxia Inquirer.
On the social networking site W, the hashtags #ShenYuanSClassAwakener, #FirstSClassOmega, #SpicyOmegaShenYuan, and a lot of phrases that concern the platinum-haired omega are currently sitting in the top trending topics on the website. No topic about the comeback of a top idol group or the newly released movie of Country C’s film emperor could cut through the thick barrage of posts about Shen Yuan.
[Gogobibi143: Ahhhh! Shen Yuan smiling while shutting down the rude alpha reporter is the most satisfying video I ever watched online. I will stop watching the ear-cleaning ASMR and play that clip whenever I need to relax!]
[NoodleDidi: @Gogobibi143, please don’t sully our "Ice Prince" by including mentioning that disgusting hobby of yours. But I must say, that is the most powerful move that I saw from our Ice Prince! It instantly promoted me into a super fan! And I might as well add that this is also the first time I saw him smiling! Oh my gosh! The dimples! I don’t know what I should be gushing on! Damn, Bai Tingfeng is the most blessed alpha.]
[YourSister: Totally agree to upstairs! Smiling Shen Yuan is my kind of detox, and the way he put that alpha in his rightful place is cathartic. Love a fighter omega!]
[DumplingGege: Oh, my. The younger fans of Shen Yuan are going crazy over a simple smile. Here is the screenshot. Worship me later. (ShenYuanPregnancyInducingSmile.jpg)]
[HornetsItch69: Ahhh! The only omega that I want to impregnate me!]
[ShenYuansB: The only omega that I want to impregnate me +1]

[SojuIsTheBeat: sigs. Are all Shen Yuan fans superficial? Why is everyone talking about his looks and not about the messages that he said? Every word that he said was not solely about the malicious question from the rude uncle there. It is also referencing the previous article that is targeting him! A lot of gossip pages have painted him as the heartless villain in a narrative of his son’s kidnapping incident. Now, I pity Shen Yuan because no one knows about his struggles—even among his so-called fans. I hope the Hunter Association will confirm him to be an S-Class Awakener in exchange for all the trouble he encountered in the past few days.]
This lengthy reprimanding post seems to come from a concerned netizen. But if one were to study it word for word, it was a comment full of malice.
For starters, Bai Tingfeng made sure that the articles that talk about Yanyan and the kidnapping incident will be buried, or no new articles will be published in the future. They don’t want their son to be viewed by the public as the victim of kidnapping for all his life. But with this comment, the topic has resurfaced again, and quite a number of the netizens are innocently led back to this topic.
If only Shen Yuan knew that a stupid netizen was dragging a child to his nonsense, he wouldn’t bat an eye to meet that keyboard warrior and give him a powerful German suplex.
Thankfully, these posts are flooded by the other hinted topic by the poster about Hunter Association confirming his status as the S-Class awakener.
In an instant, posts that "pleads" the Hunter Association to declare Shen Yuan an S-Class.
If there are idiots who are easily herded like ignorant sheep, then there are others who are hawk-eyed and quickly figured out the original poster’s intention.
[StillLovingYuan: What is more disgusting than an anti-fan pretending to be a fan? It’s a shameless anti-fan pretending to be a concerned passerby. @SojuIsTheBeat I could smell your poison from miles away. You better stand corrected, or you will face a lawsuit! The Hunter Association is a fair organization, and there’s no way for them to rig a live-streamed Awakener Test. Plus, I heard a rumor that S-Class Master Mao Huanlong was the one who personally made Shen Yuan’s second test. Do you still think that Shen Yuan will have it easy? You are a sore idiot if you say yes.]
[StillLovingYuan: Here is the clip showing top-notch speed and strength. Is there any A-Class and below that could stop a speeding van with just his body and do that after jumping from a high building? No one! This and many more reasons made people think Shen Yuan is an S-Class awakener! Those are cold, hard facts!]
[StillLovingYuan: Never in any instances did Shen Yuan publicly declare that he is an S-Class awakener. He is too rich, classy, and famous to utter nonsense for clout!]
[StillLovingYuan: Well, regardless. I believe that he will crush everyone’s stereotypes because... (Read my lips) Shen Yuan is the strongest omega that I knew]
This rebuking post instantly garnered attention from the netizens because of its persistent and passionate defense of the hottest omega of the moment.
Most of the posts responding to this are positive, and some of them are humoring the original poster.
[SourLolipop: No way! Master Mao Huanlong is the one setting up Shen Yuan’s test? Is this information legit?]
[StillLovingYuan: Came from a reliable friend inside the H.A. Must be true.]
[PinkPussyCats: Gosh, Shen Yuan’s path from now on is not beautiful and straight. Is it alright to let this be handled by an eccentric genius like Chairman Mao Huanlong?]
[StillLovingYuan: Why not? He managed to fight alongside Bai TIngfeng. He must be able to handle whatever they throw at him.]
[PinkPussyCats: Why does the original poster give off a feeling that he is in love with Shen Yuan? He also copied Shen Yuan’s "Read my lips" statement earlier.]
A series of long mischievous threads of posts appeared on this post, and most of them started with the phrase "Read my lips."
[Golden24k: Read my lips. This is their obnoxious way of stopping the World’s first S-Class awakener! It’s disgusting!
[KookieMonster: Read my lips. Is this Bai Tingfeng’s secret account or something? I could feel the love and protectiveness. So sweet!]
A lot of netizens tried to act all chummy with StillLovingYuan and asked if he was Bai Tingfeng or someone who knew about the originally cold-faced model. But in the end, all these attempts failed. StillLovingYuan never replied to any of them, and thus, a new hashtag of #ReadmyLips appeared in the trending topics.
Netizens love drama, and when they realize that they gain nothing, they focus on the present situation and berate the reporter who planted pitfalls in his questions for Shen Yuan.
[Xiaodidi: Shen Yuan should have punched the hell out of that reporter the moment he asked those questions! I commend his patience in handling it professionally.]

"I thought you would punch him in the left cheek and then kick him in the right cheek," Bai Tingfeng whispered to Shen Yuan while discreetly putting his phone back in his coat’s pocket.
The two of them are controlling the volume of their voice because an entourage of agents of the Hunter Association graciously fetched them the moment their feet hit the entrance. They know how to take care of the face of powerful S-Class awakeners as each introduced themselves as department heads of H.A.
People of high position acting as their usherettes? This only shows that they are expecting great results from Shen Yuan. Good thing the celestial fox spirit isn’t someone who would fold underpressure.
"I only respond violence to violence, Bai Tingfeng. He tried to wound me with his words, so I stabbed him with words. That is how I do things."
Shen Yuan responded cooly. Deep inside, he wants to do everything that Bai Tingfeng said. Lucky for that guy, there’s a crowd shielding him.
"Daddy, don’t mind that bad guy! Focus on your work. Yanyan will protect you from those people who are teasing you!" Yanyan wiggled his body from his Papa’s arm.
The celestial fox spirit smiled warmly at the little boy and planted a kiss on Yanyan through his tiny face mask.
"Why is your mask wet? Bai Tingfeng, you should give Yanyan a new one. It is drenched."
"Yanyan did nothing, Daddy!" the little boy too proactively to consider his words true.
Bai Tingfeng and Shhen Yuan thought the same, but they ultimately let it go. A child doesn’t have a fun childhood if he doesn’t do a few mischief.
The family of three followed the lead of their overqualified usherette while talking to each other.
They are too calm. This is the unified thoughts of the agents around them, especially Shen Yuan who is acting like they are just doing a short stroll. No signs of pressure could be seen on his face, and that in itself speaks volumes. Shen Yuan will end this day, crushing everyone’s skepticism. They could finally understand why their chairman has a special interest in Shen Yuan.
When they are about to reach the place where Shen Yuan will record descriptions of his skills, they all see the familiar physique of an older man. "Hey, Bai Family! Did you miss me?" Chairman Mao Huanlong cheerfully greeted them.
Bai Tingfeng and Yanyan respectfully greeted back to their family friend. But to Shen Yuan, his eyes were a little critical as he looked at the elderly alpha’s eyes. "I was excited to meet you, Chairman! We owe each other a long talk."
