I'm a Parasite, Pay Me [Quick Transmigration]

Meng Qiong is a parasite.

That's not an insult. He's a parasite in the taxonomic sense. The parasite Meng Qiong has to find an exceptional Host and endlessly demand their possessions, which might be money, treasures, or affection. Otherwise, he'll waste away and die.

On the other hand, if a Host takes good care of the parasite, the parasite will protect them wholeheartedly.

Most Hosts don't last to the end. Meng Qiong was determined to find the very best Host, so he and a quick transmigration System hit it off and decided to search for a Host in the human world.

Unfortunately, Meng Qiong transmigrated into the body of a minor cannon-fodder character.

The cannon fodder was young and bold, and foolishly tried to seduce the Dragon King. The Dragon King toyed with him and then ruthlessly abandoned him. He also offended the Dragon King's white moonlight, who had him cornered and framed. In the end, his family was destroyed.

Worse still, by the time Meng Qiong transmigrated into the story, the plot was already over. The Dragon King came to see him one last time and threatened to kill him on the spot if he ever crossed the line again.

The threat worked. In the original story, the white moonlight really did have him killed the next day.

But there was a twist. He seemed to have found an even better Host.

Meng Qiong gazed from afar at the aloof, dignified man in the black Porsche behind the Dragon King. The man was holding a cigarette between his fingers and staring straight at him, making Meng Qiong blush.

He didn't want to parasitize the Dragon King. He wanted to parasitize the man behind him.

World One: [Livestream Variety Show, Seeking a Sugar Daddy]

Meng Qiong was a D-list star who cultivated a fragile persona for publicity. He'd been terribly unpopular, until he was photographed knocking on an actor's door to ask to be kept. Overnight, he became famous across the internet.

Of course, it was infamy. His haters even gave him a nickname: parasite, or Bug for short.

Taking advantage of the sudden viral attention, his unscrupulous manager rushed to shove Meng Qiong into a survival show on a deserted island. The plan was to stir up another wave of publicity with the actor, get him roundly bashed, and let the company profit off the scandal.

The news set fans off at once.

Everyone knew the actor had joined the show for his white moonlight. Meng Qiong was shamelessly rushing to be the third party. Before the show even aired, all the fans were itching to tear into him the moment he tried to seduce the actor.

But once the show started, everyone was stunned.

What do you mean he tamed a tiger with his bare hands?

What do you mean he ordered ants to find food?

What do you mean the powerful backer behind him might be even more influential than the actor?

This is way too much of a cheat! Compared with Meng Qiong, the white moonlight who kept sabotaging him was completely unworthy of the actor!

Just as the fans were hesitating over whether to approve of the match, Meng Qiong suddenly went public with his relationship. He smiled brightly for the cameras, while the handsome, aloof man beside him held him gently and tenderly.

The actor stared in shock and broke down on camera. "Uncle! How can you be with him?!"

The man fixed him with a chilling stare and threatened coldly, "Qiongqiong knocked on my door that day, not yours. We're in a relationship as equals. As for you, watch what you say, or you and your little lover are both getting kicked out of Jinghai."

Meng Qiong smiled sweetly. "Didn't you say I was just your canary?"

The man immediately gave in. "Darling... I was just refusing to admit it was love at first sight. Forgive me, okay?"
