‘But I’m different from Xiaoyan-jie. They’re biological sisters, but we aren’t. Besides, Xiaoyan-jie definitely likes me. Our feelings are mutual, and there are no ethical concerns, so why not? I don’t have the guts in the real world, but in the game… *heh heh*.’
Though Chong Chong was excited, she faced a problem: she needed to find an opportunity to create some time for the two of them alone. Xianyun and A Curtain of Dreams were in the small courtyard every day, so she couldn’t find a chance to act. Since she couldn’t do it at home, she had to go outside.
Of course, not to the wilderness. ‘What if a Player suddenly pops up while we’re in the middle of things? How embarrassing would that be?’
So, where should they go? A sudden spark of inspiration hit Chong Chong, and she thought of the Wangyue Inn in Shangjing City. It was an inn, so she should be able to book a room, right?
‘It seems I need to prepare to earn some money.’
Xianjie didn’t have a top-up system, and quest rewards didn’t include local currency. Other than experience, Equipment, and Lingqi, there was nothing else. Then again, maybe the inn Boss would see she was a Tianxiang Player and be polite enough to waive the fee? After all, the Tianxiang Sect was very famous in the eyes of these ordinary NPCs.
She would go into the Game tomorrow to ask. If that didn’t work, she would earn some silver to book a room. Hard work pays off; she was definitely booking that room, and no one could stop her.
After making up her mind, Chong Chong gave Youyou Won’t Heal a few pointers before returning to her computer. She was eagerly looking forward to Chen Xiaoyan’s arrival. Because of her arrival, Chong Chong became much more serious. She even switched from calling herself “this baby” to just “I.” She stopped acting cute, leaving the Audience in the livestream room completely baffled. If the God of Cuteness stopped being cute, what were they supposed to watch?
“What’s the situation? Chong Bao left for a bit and came back all serious. Did something happen?”
“Chong Bao, can you say ‘good evening, big brother’? I’ve been waiting for months.”
“Seconded.”
“Come on, I’ve already got my ventilator ready. If you don’t kill me with cuteness today, don’t even think about ending the stream.”
However, Chong Chong ignored them. She glanced at the spectator seats and the bullet chat while frequently checking the mirror. She looked extremely nervous.
“???”
Countless question marks instantly flooded the screen.
“Chong Bao, you’ve changed.”
“What are you doing? Oh, come on, just make one cute sound. Please, Chong Bao!”
“Haha, the fans in this livestream room are so humble.”
“She comes back and starts acting like a big shot?”
Watching the screen full of bullet chat, Chong Chong anxiously pressed a finger to her lips.
“Shh — family, don’t flood the screen so much.”
“Chong Bao, what are you looking for?”
“You aren’t waiting for Lin Xiaoying, are you? Treasure, she’s not worth your time at all.”
“Exactly. If something happens to you, she’ll be happier than anyone. Her follower count is growing so fast!”
“By the way, Chong Bao, do you know who spread that news?”
“Is it Lin Xiaoying?”
“That wicked woman is just jealous because our Chong Bao is too popular. Hmph! She has the heart of a serpent despite that innocent face.”
“No way, people still judge by appearances? She has a kind face but a wicked heart.”
“Nima, I already pulled out my knife before I realized the person above is an ally.”
Seeing that the bullet chat was even more frenzied than before, with everyone determined to get to the bottom of it, Chong Chong had no choice but to explain. “I don’t have proof that Xiao Ying spread it, but I hope it wasn’t her.”
“Oh ho, it’s confirmed then.”
“Dammit, I knew it was that woman.”
“It’s time for the Chong Family Army to set out again. We haven’t moved in months, and we’re practically growing mold. Let’s go and blast that bitch’s page together!”
Seeing her fans about to cause trouble in Lin Xiaoying’s livestream room, Chong Chong quickly spoke up to stop them.
“Wait, wait, everyone calm down. I won’t blame her regardless of who spread the news. If it were a rumor, I might be angry, but this is the truth. I might be blacklisted because of this in the future, but I don’t want to hide it anymore. It’s exhausting, and besides, I don’t want to lie to you all anymore.”
Chong Chong’s blunt admission caught the haters in the livestream room off guard. She actually dared to admit to such a “scandal”? Who would dare to hire her for commercial events now?
“Chong Bao, you’re still too kind.”
“Wow, this streamer is really brave. She just straight-up admitted she’s a lesbian.”
“Eww, disgusting.”
“Little sister God of Cuteness, I support you. I don’t like men either.”
“Chong Bao… you’re cutting off your own path to making money.”
“So what if it’s cut off? When has our Chong Bao ever taken on commercial events? She doesn’t rely on that to make a living anyway. If it’s cut, it’s cut. Doesn’t she still have us?”
“Exactly, the Chong Family Army is still here!”
“Streamer, streamer, are you the Chong Chong from Xianjie?”
“The army of Douhu Baixiaosheng has arrived!”
“Wow, that Heavenly Fragrance outfit really makes her look like the Da Luo Chong Chong.”
“Is the person above blind? What do you mean ‘look like’? It’s clearly her!”
“???”
“Who are these guys? Why did people from Douhu come to our Tianfu?”
“I remember Douhu Baixiaosheng. He’s a streamer in Xianjie. His stories are humorous and witty, and he’s very popular on Douhu.”
“I know that, but why are they calling our Chong Bao ‘Da Luo Chong Chong’?”
Douhu Baixiaosheng? Chong Chong didn’t have much of an impression of this person. She picked up her phone to Baidu him, and his profile summary appeared. After a quick look, she realized he was a Xianxia Player. No wonder he knew her identity.
Putting down her phone, Chong Chong skillfully put on a smile. “Welcome, friends from Douhu. If you like the streamer, please give me a follow, okay?”
“No problem, I have to give face to Da Luo Chong Chong. Brothers, let’s give her a follow!”
“Is the streamer really Da Luo Chong Chong? If not, I won’t follow.”
“Yes, I am,” Chong Chong said with a slight smile. Her milky, childish voice sounded quite out of place now that she was being so serious.
“Da Luo Chong Chong, do you know Chen Xiaoyan?”
Chong Chong nodded.
“I have a friend who wants to get to know her. Can we talk privately for her contact information?”
“Asking for a friend?”
“Yes, I’m that friend. Streamer, please send it to me privately!”

“Holy crap, a big spender!”
“Seeing the donation notification instantly woke me up. A rich Da Luo came to the livestream room? But this Da Luo’s ID is a bit…”
“Ahem, just a small token of appreciation. I hope the streamer accepts it. Once I get the contact info, I’ll send another big wave.”
“Private chat? Nima, you beast! You want her all to yourself? No way, I want in too!”
“Piss off. You act like we can’t afford a mere ten Sovereigns. I’m not keeping her to myself. Once I get Chen Xiaoyan’s contact info, everyone will get a share!”

“The Da Luo is a good person!”
“Who on earth is Chen Xiaoyan? These big shots chased her all the way here.”
“No idea.”
“So many Sovereigns! Chong Bao is getting rich!”
Watching the gifts in the livestream room quickly rise from the original 100,000 to 3,000,000, the fans were overjoyed. Although the money wasn’t theirs, they thought the streamer would be excited to receive so many gifts.
But they were mistaken. Not only was Chong Chong not excited, she looked completely indifferent. In that faint indifference, there was even a hint of disdain. Now, not only were her fans confused, but the other viewers were stunned as well.
What? She wasn’t happy even after getting all those tips?
“I don’t have Xiaoyan — I don’t have her contact information. Stop sending gifts. For those who just gifted, remember to take a screenshot of the Backstage and send me a private message. I’ll return the gift money to you.”
‘You can have my contact information. But Xiaoyan-jie’s? Absolutely not. No matter how much you tip, it’s useless.’
“It’s fine, Da Luo Chong Chong. You don’t need to pay us back. This is just our greeting gift.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“No way. I tipped this much and I can’t even get a contact number?”
“Hehe.”
“I thought Moe God Pet was already a big enough deal, but I didn’t expect there to be someone even more prestigious. Whose streamer is that?”
“Chen Xiaoyan, right? I’ll remember that.”
“Shocking! Who is this Chen Xiaoyan? Even after a dozen big shots spent millions, they still couldn’t catch a glimpse of her face.”
Chong Chong didn’t say much. If someone messaged her, she would return the money; if not, she wouldn’t. Regardless, she had already given the heads-up. Whether they wanted it or not was their business.
She glanced at the spectator seats. Still no sign of Chen Xiaoyan and the others. Chong Chong picked up her phone again and sent a query.
Chen Xiaoyan: “Soon.”
Seeing those two words, she couldn’t help but smile happily. This sudden smile left the viewers in the livestream room confused. What good news on her phone made her so happy?
“Chong Bao smiled, *hee hee*.”
“Family, I really want to grab Chong Bao’s phone and take a look!”
“Do you guys feel like Chong Bao’s eyes are about to sprout hearts?”
“???”
“Holy crap, now that you mention it, I really do feel it!”
“Chong Bao, is there someone else out there? Is it a man or a woman?”
“Aren’t you talking nonsense? Our Chong Bao doesn’t like smelly men.”
“Then, which girl is the lucky one?”
“Waaaah! Which seductive bitch stole my treasure? I’m going to kill her!”
“Kill her +1.”
“Oh stop, talking about death isn’t auspicious at all. Unlike you guys, I want them both!”
Chong Chong put down her phone and happened to see the bullet chat repeatedly mentioning the phrase “seductive bitch.” Her face instantly darkened. She then put on a fierce expression and shouted angrily, “You’re the seductive bitch! Your whole family are seductive bitches!”
The Audience was instantly amused. Her cute little face had no intimidation factor at all, even when she was angry. Instead of being offended, everyone was struck by her fierce-milky cuteness, claiming they were dying from the cuteness.
“She is the best person in the whole world. She’s not a seductive bitch. You can’t call her that anymore, or else… or else I’ll stop streaming!”
Although her tone was very stern, in everyone’s eyes, she looked like she was pouting and feeling wronged.
“Fine, fine, fine. We promise not to say it anymore.”
“Who said ‘seductive bitch’ just now? Didn’t you see Chong Bao is unhappy? Hurry up and stand out to take your beating!”
“That guy above, I’ve remembered your ID. You’re the one who shouted the loudest!”
“You’re lying! I didn’t! That wasn’t me!”
“There are screenshots in the feed as proof!”
“The screenshots are a total takedown, haha.”
“I’m actually a bit jealous of that woman. Chong Bao, my Chong Bao, *boo hoo*.”
“Brothers, I have an idea. In that case, wouldn’t it mean that as long as I pursue that girl, Chong Bao will be mine?”
“Holy crap, a realization!”
“Holy crap +1.”
“Chong Bao, hurry up and go public with the relationship. I can’t wait to give my blessings.”
” *Tui* ! The guy above, I’m embarrassed to even expose you. You want to give blessings? You clearly have bad intentions.”
