I Went Viral After Livestreaming My Ability to Hear Monsters' Thoughts

Wen Chuo, once the top demon hunter in the cultivation world, was killed after his fiancée and younger brother conspired to betray him. When he woke again, he had become the real young master everyone hated: the foil to a popular idol who was a fake young master, and the target of a fandom that had turned against him.

In this world, demonic beasts were appearing everywhere. Many furry little animals had either become monsters or gained intelligence.

Wen Chuo: What a coincidence. This is my old line of work.

A livestream called Communicating with Demonic Beasts went live.

[I'm done. This is just clickbait, right? Next he'll start selling stuff.]

[Can people stop using furry little animals to grab attention with suggestive content? Gross.]

[Exactly. And communicating with demonic beasts? You can make up whatever you want about what they said. How are we supposed to know if it's true?]

Later:

A wealthy heiress called in, sobbing as she held her beloved dog, whose intelligence Wen Chuo had awakened. She said her son was acting possessed and refusing to eat or drink.

Wen Chuo pondered. “Open its mouth. There's a piece of enoki mushroom stuck between its innermost teeth.”

Sure enough, they pulled out a clump of enoki mushroom, and the dog started eating like crazy.

The rich lady and the viewers: ...Nice.

A fishpond owner came to complain that all his rare mermaid fry had suddenly turned belly-up and died while he was livestreaming a fish sale. Every day, paid trolls also came to spam insults, accusing him of selling fish that had been poisoned to death.

Wen Chuo rubbed his forehead. “Those are tropical fish. There's a Red Lotus Karmic Flame Talisman in your room. Put it up.”

Then all the dead fish came back to life, scrambling to leap into the net.

His competitor: ...That's a ghost.

The streamer thanked him with tears in his eyes. “Master, this fishpond is my income for the entire coming year.”

A college girl came in with tears streaming down her face, holding a photo of her hamster and asking for its last words.

Wen Chuo sighed. “Go two thousand meters to the left when you leave. There's a zoo there. It's already been born. Also, it says it secretly left two chocolate-chip droppings in your most expensive coat to keep your hands warm. Bring that too. It will recognize you on its own.”

Then the college girl burst into tears as she watched a polar bear trying to cram its gigantic head into the space capsule, which was only a little bigger than her nostrils.

At the fake young master's birthday party, the fake young master was the center of attention while no one paid Wen Chuo any mind. Everyone pitied him.

That is, until the wife of a business partner the Wen family had long been trying to secure picked up her beloved dog and, overcome with surprise and delight, grabbed Wen Chuo's hand. “Master, what are you doing here?”

The head of a family of demon hunters crossed the crowd and addressed Wen Chuo respectfully. “Master.”

A director who had just won the Golden Fox Award ignored everyone else and approached Wen Chuo to shake his hand. “Mr. Wen, it's been a long time.”

Then the video got out, and a closer look revealed that Wen Chuo, who had been hated across the internet, was actually the host of the pet-communication livestream that had recently taken the internet by storm.

As a brooding CEO hiding in plain sight, cross that out, as the White Wolf King, Jing Chengyue had suffered through this world for long enough. He had to go to work every day. His life as a wolf was truly miserable.

And ever since the spiritual qi revival, his teeth had been itchy every day. He wanted to bite people and drink blood. Then he smelled a human who seemed delicious, went wild wanting to take a bite, and got slapped by that very human.

The wolf: Oh no. That felt good.

He tucked his tail between his legs, let out a whimper, and rolled over to ingratiate himself.

He had seen those tail-wagging ones win over their slave-like, poop-scooping owners just like that.
