Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

[I need a shady arrangement to get my daughter and Master Shen together.]

Tell me, director, how many years ago would it take to get Master Shen and Mengmeng paired together?

Some of Mu Sinian's fans also spoke up for their idol:

[You can't say that. Although Lu Mengmeng is very cute, our brother is just as good-looking, isn't he?]

[1.8 meters tall, eight-pack abs, handsome and stylish, isn't that great!]

[Wouldn't it be pleasing to the eye to carry it with you while doing missions?]

[Besides, Mu Sinian has been filming various action movies for years, so he's incredibly strong! Based on my experience, once we get to the island, we'll definitely be playing all sorts of games, like carrying water or racing. Bringing Mu Sinian along is definitely the right thing to do!]

[Um, I seem to remember that Mu Sinian's fans didn't say this when the first live stream started...]

[Didn't they say back then that the female guests were all just trying to leech off their brother's money, and that they shouldn't even get involved?]

[Even the sight of something behind him could be interpreted by Master Shen as an attempt to get his brother's attention.]

[This is hilarious! Now that they know Shen Nian is good, they've kissed her again?]

[Actually, that's not the case. The real reason is that Shen Nian is the only one present with an official romantic partner; she has a real fiancé and is getting married. Netizens can't really ship them, so solo fans and female fans can rest assured.]

[Given the nature of this show, being around Master Shen does indeed provide a sense of security. Tsk, some fans are quite calculating.]

[Hilarious! It's like Lu Mengmeng didn't have any schemes. She immediately tried to win over Shen Nian, just because Shen Nian had the most buzz among the three non-celebrity participants.]

Shen Nian has even more fans than the celebrity guests, so who else should they tie themselves to if not her?

[This show doesn't even promote couples anymore, so why are they still arguing so much? My god.]

[There's no way around it; it's essentially a variety show, so fan wars are unavoidable.]

The live chat was buzzing with activity. The guests had introduced themselves to each other and had already started drawing lots to choose their teammates.

This time, celebrities drew lots to choose their non-celebrity guest teammates.

Before drawing lots, Lu Mengmeng nervously prayed a few times, muttering incantations, and then nervously drew her name slip.

After that, Mu Sinian and Zhang Xiaoling also drew their partners.

Mu Sinian opened the paper tube first, then revealed a smug smile: "Oh, it seems that Master Shen and I are more destined to be together."

He waved the piece of paper with Shen Nian's name on it.

Lu Mengmeng gave a heartbroken look: "I don't believe you! Did you bribe the director or pull some strings behind the scenes? Tell me now, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely!"

Mu Sinian shrugged: "You don't understand, do you? This is what they call fate."

[This is hilarious! Mu Sinian, that petty smug guy, is so pleased with himself.]

[A petty person's ambition sounds infuriating, but a young person's ambition sounds adorable!]

[By the way, when are we going to get to the island? It's getting late.]

[They should be ready to take the boat to the island after the groups are divided, right?]

In the end, Zhang Xiaoling drew Lin Xiyue, and Lu Mengmeng drew Hu Die.

Hu Die joked, "Why does everyone like Shen Nian? Lin and I... Brother Lin is going to get jealous."

Lu Mengmeng quickly shook her head: "No, no, Teacher Hu Die, I swear from now on, I will be your devoted partner, and I will never be a fickle person!"

Everyone else was amused by her.

【Mengmeng is so cute, our Mengmeng is so adorable...】

It's true that being open and honest about what you want is less likely to annoy people.

And even if they don't get it in the end, they won't say anything.

[Let's champion our adorable little one!!!]

The production team gave each guest a walkie-talkie, saying that the signal on the island might be down, and that they could use the walkie-talkies to contact each other when they couldn't use their cell phones.

In addition, this episode also added a bag-searching segment that other shows love to watch.

Guests are only allowed to bring a limited number of changes of clothes and personal items to the island, but not any food. Food must be obtained through subsequent tasks and games.

Lu Mengmeng volunteered to be the first to have her bag searched.

Her suitcase contained only clothes and cosmetics, but the astute production team still managed to find a large amount of candy, cookies, and snacks hidden in a concealed compartment.

Lu Mengmeng: ...

"No way, how did you guys find this?!"

"Can't you really save me two packs?"

Lu Mengmeng wore a sad expression, mourning her lost snacks.

Mu Sinian: "The director must have seen you hide snacks on other variety shows. Remember to use a different method next time."

Next up was Shen Nian's turn.

Shen Nian's suitcase contained even less, only a change of clothes and a few small paper packets wrapped in yellow paper.

Lu Mengmeng asked curiously, "What's inside this?"

Shen Nian: "Some talisman paper that might be needed."

Learning from the experience of the last episode, this time the production team asked Shen Nian to draw talismans in advance, so that they could be distributed to everyone after arriving on the island.

However, it seems there's not much difference now.

Shen Nian took out two packets of talismans: "This is a water-repelling talisman...this is a protective talisman. Carry it with you at all times and never leave your body."

Lu Mengmeng: "Master Shen, do you really not use skincare products?"

"……Need not."

"Wow, I never knew skin could be this good without makeup or skincare! I'm so jealous!"

"Is there any secret?"

Shen Nian: "...Go to bed early and get up early, eat healthily, and you can practice Tai Chi or Baduanjin in your spare time."

Is this what a master of metaphysics is like?

No, I can't even manage to go to bed early and wake up early.

To be honest, I've never actually seen Shen Nian wear makeup. She never uses any filters or beauty effects during her live streams; she just naturally looks beautiful.

I'm getting jealous... God knows how much I spend on skincare products every month...

Lu Mengmeng: "You really don't use any special skincare products... or do you have any ancient beauty and skincare recipes?"

This was the first time Shen Nian had encountered someone as enthusiastic and clingy as Lu Mengmeng, so she said, "...Yes, I do have some. If you want them, I'll make some for you after the show is over."

Hu Die said quietly, "Master Shen, you've never given me one. I'm getting jealous."

Shen Nian: ...

Send them all, okay?

But what would a fox demon known for her beauty need such a thing for? You'd be better off growing two more tails; that would be better than any elixir.

Next up is Mouss's suitcase.

Although there was no food inside, Mu Sinian brought a mini multi-functional electric cooker.

There are also some common medications.

As expected, the small pot was confiscated by the ruthless production team.

I did save the medicine for him.

Zhang Xiaoling's suitcase contained no food, but besides cosmetics, she also brought some crystal ornaments that were said to bring good luck.

Zhang Xiaoling explained that it was a gift from her fans after they learned that she was participating in a paranormal program.

Lin Xiyue simply didn't bring a suitcase.

The backpack contained some of the ritual implements and ceremonies, nothing else.
