Chapter Two Hundred and Three: You’re Quite Nice, Aren’t You?
In the Canghong Pavilion, another performance stage.
“Thank you, brothers, for your support~ But I’m sorry… I just messed up a few parts in the song I played, wasn’t it a bit off-key?”
The comments flooded with “No, no,” “Super good,” “D fragrant sister is the best,” and similar expressions.
In front of the screen was a pure-looking girl, seemingly unadorned but with flawless skin, her cute hairstyle giving off major girl-next-door vibes, gently rolling up her sleeves to play the guzheng.
“Woo, you brothers are too nice to me… Really, you don’t have to take such care of me; I want to present you all with an even better stage!”
“D fragrant will demand more of herself and become an even better idol!”
“I’ll work hard!” This girl seemed to naturally exude a weak and delicate aura, making anyone who saw her eyes instantly feel protective.
Combined with her earnest and determined gaze, a wave of teary support flooded the comments, and gifts poured in like rain.
Yet, she always maintained a cheerful smile, brimming with energy.
But in reality, her gaze was glued to the gift leaderboard.
… Ugh.
A bunch of broke folks.
All talk about support, but the gifts they’re sending are the cheapest ones.
The few top donors on the fan ranking weren’t even in the livestream today.
Sigh. When can I snatch a brainless big spender for myself?
Bored out of her mind, she passed the time during the stream.
Suddenly, Little D fragrant’s gaze was caught by a gift.
“Yay! Thank you, ‘Young Master Sang is the Handsomest!’ for the Fairy Cloud~ Is it really okay for you to give me such an expensive gift? I’m feeling a bit shy…”
Although she put on a shy expression, inside, she was over the moon.
Awesome.
Today, there was actually someone generous enough to send a Fairy Cloud.
You see, a Fairy Cloud costs a thousand high-quality spirit stones, and not your average cultivator can just toss that around.
Who knows, maybe he’s some powerful cultivator big shot or a young master from a prominent family? Little D fragrant couldn’t help but fantasize.
No way.
Once the livestream ends, I need to message him and ask.
Maybe if we bond a little, he’ll become a regular in my livestream!
So, after the stream ended, Little D fragrant used her private channel to contact this person named “Young Master Sang is the Handsomest.”
After some simple chit-chat, she was surprised to discover he was a nouveau riche who just recently struck it rich due to a newly discovered spiritual vein in his family.
This news made Little D fragrant’s heart skip a beat.
Nouveau riche money is the easiest to swindle.
They often throw cash around to show off their newfound wealth, having their money sense totally collapse overnight.
As long as I flatter him a bit, I’m sure I can convince him to send more money.
“Really? You’re so lucky, brother.”
“Unlike me, I grew up poor, and before doing livestreams, I had never even seen what a high-quality spirit stone looked like.”
She deliberately used a cute tone to evoke sympathy, and sure enough, the next moment, he sent a heartbroken emoji.
Game on. Little D fragrant secretly rejoiced.
“Actually, it might look like I’m making money from livestreaming, but a lot of it goes to the platform, and I don’t really have much money myself.”
“The other day I wanted to buy a lotus fruit, but it was so expensive, I couldn’t bring myself to buy it…”
At this point, she stopped talking.
Instead, she waited for him to speak first.
Sure enough, he quickly replied, “Wanting to eat a lotus fruit is easy, I’ll buy it for you.”
“Really? Thank you, brother… But I can’t just take your money, you work hard for it too.”
Little D fragrant said sweetly, “How about this? Brother can gift me a present, and I’ll sing a song for you. That way, you won’t be spending money for nothing.”
“Singing… there’s no need for that. I don’t understand.”
“Actually, there’s something else I’m not quite clear on and wanted to ask you about.”
Hearing that his uncle was planning to advertise in his company, Little D fragrant immediately perked up.
“That’s simple! Brother can just advertise in my livestream!”
“Really? Is your livestream popular?”
“It’s not bad! It’s all thanks to my fan brothers who support me. They never listen to my advice and always shower me with gifts to get me to the top of the rankings…”
“Just ‘not bad?’ That won’t do.”
He suddenly commented, “I sent a Fairy Cloud to the one next door too; they said their livestream is more popular and told me to advertise there.”
Next door? Little D fragrant’s defenses went up instantly.
She hurriedly clicked into Little Colorful Xia’s livestream and, sure enough, saw the name “Young Master Sang is the Handsomest” among the top gift givers.
Uh-oh.
That woman, Little Colorful Xia, has definitely set her sights on this rich guy.
No way, a rich guy who comes to my stream is mine.
How can she possibly take him back?
And I was just being humble! Did this blockhead really think my livestream wasn’t as popular as the one next door?
So, Little D fragrant immediately backtracked: “Actually, I’m not sure how to judge my livestream’s popularity… But my livestream often ranks first on the platform! Just a little higher than the sister next door.”
“Brother, don’t worry, just advertise in my livestream~ As long as you send enough gifts, more people will see the ad~”
“Oh, I see…” He seemed to be conflicted.
Little D fragrant also felt a bit anxious.
What if he chooses Little Colorful Xia in the end? What would she do then?
After all, she was an established internet fairy with more popularity than her. It was risky to force him into a choice.
Just then, he hesitated again, “I thought about it, maybe I’ll still go to the one next door—”
Feeling the pressure, Little D fragrant hurriedly said:
“Brother, don’t rush your decision!”
“Who can really say how popular the livestream is?”
“I think you should try advertising in my livestream for a day first and see how it goes!”
“If you get enough contacts, you can continue advertising later.”
“But,” Young Master Sang hesitated again, “that Little Colorful Xia also mentioned—”
“Don’t worry, I can help you advertise for free for a day!”
Little D fragrant gritted her teeth and said decisively, “No charge for a day, just consider it a thank-you for the lotus fruit!”
Hmph.
What now?
I know that woman, Little Colorful Xia. She will definitely hesitate to offer a free day of advertising.
I’m different.
One must show sincerity to snag a big spender; otherwise, they’ll be snatched away.
“Really? You’re quite nice, aren’t you?”
He seemed finally satisfied and said cheerfully: “Okay, I’ll send you the ad in a couple of days, let me see how it goes first.”
“If it turns out well, I’ll send you a hundred Fairy Clouds!”
“Really?! Thank you, brother~ You’re the best~”
Little D fragrant smiled sweetly.
In her beautiful eyes, a gleam of triumph flickered.
