As the popularity of the livestream room grew, more and more people tuned in, and the ways people challenged the Empress became increasingly bizarre.

One day, Long Yue started her livestream as usual. However, this time, she wasn't accepting challenges for chess or painting, nor was she engaging in one-on-one gaming. Instead, at the urging of her viewers, she decided to play a horror game.

The first game recommended to her was the renowned Resident Evil.

On the game screen, Long Yue skillfully maneuvered her character through the zombies, effortlessly dispatching them with headshots. She remained calm and composed throughout the entire ordeal.

With her prior experience in various games, she found herself adapting to new games more and more quickly.

During the entire gameplay, whether facing swarms of zombies or the skinless Lickers, or even the Tyrant in its trench coat, she showed no fear. Instead, she chatted animatedly with the audience while livestreaming:

"These reanimated corpses you call zombies are generally known as ghost corpses on the Immortal-Demon Continent where this Empress resides. They are awakened by Demonic Dao evil cultivators using forbidden techniques, and controlled as puppets."

"However, unlike your zombies, these ghost corpses don't infect and transform people with a single bite. At most, they'll tear you apart, but they won't eat you. After all, they are just corpses and don't need to eat to sustain themselves."

"Speaking of which, this Empress is curious why these zombies, being dead bodies, are so keen on devouring human flesh?"

"Oh right, if cultivators' bodies are used as materials for refinement, they are no longer ghost corpses, but corpse puppets."

"Those corpse puppets are often as tough as iron, impervious to blades and water, incapable of feeling pain, and only follow orders. It's usually very dangerous for cultivators of the same realm to encounter them."

"Hmm... a bit similar to this detestable zombie called the Tyrant!"

As she spoke, Long Yue continued to shoot at the Tyrant. However, while trying to escape, she got caught by the Tyrant again because she didn't know where to go, and died once more at its hands.

"Damn it! If this Empress were there in person, she could have beheaded this level of corpse puppet with a single sword!"

Long Yue gnawed on her thumb, muttering in dissatisfaction.

These zombies weren't that powerful, yet the protagonist in the game was just a mortal.

If it were her, she could turn all the zombies in the city to dust with a mere flick of her finger!

They wouldn't have the chance to be so rampant!

[The Empress isn't scared at all.]

[Even though the Empress is clumsy at playing, she's genuinely not scared.]

[It's rare to see a female streamer who doesn't scream while playing horror games. As expected of the Empress!]

[This is not what I imagined.]

[I came here to hear the Empress scream!]

[… ]

Listening to Long Yue's relaxed and constant chatter, everyone in the livestream room was stunned.

When they first recommended horror games to her, she didn't even know what a horror game was, and had never even heard of the famous Resident Evil. That's when they hatched a plan to trick her into playing Resident Evil, all for what?

Naturally, to see her get terrified!

But she wasn't scared at all, and even had the energy to chat with them!

It made them doubt again, was the streamer really playing a horror game for the first time...?

Could it be that she was playing coy like before, pretending to be weak to catch the strong?

But seeing her clueless perspective, not knowing where to go, unable to find healing items, and only discovering many items after being reminded by the viewers, they dispelled their doubts.

Generally, even if veteran players pretend to be newbies, they would still show some tell-tale signs.

And her occasional high-blood-pressure-inducing moves were indeed those of a genuine novice player...

[Empress, you're not scared at all playing this game for the first time?]

Someone in the livestream room couldn't help but ask their doubts via bullet comment.

Search for the book title and you can't find it, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Generally, female streamers experiencing horror games for the first time would be screaming their heads off, but she showed no reaction at all.

Even when jump scares suddenly appeared in the game and startled the viewers, she remained unfazed.

"Hmm? What's so scary about this game?"

Long Yue looked confused. She then paused the game and added proudly:

"This Empress once ventured alone deep into the Ghost Corpse Sect's territory, where the ground was littered with human corpses, beast corpses, and even insect corpses that had turned into ghost corpses."

"The sect leader of the Ghost Corpse Sect fused various forbidden techniques and secret arts, crossbreeding these three types of ghost corpses to create even more grotesque and terrifying outer realm demonic corpses."

"Those outer realm demonic corpses are deformed and grotesque, their bodies filled with ghost corpse worms, possessing the bodies of demonic beasts but the faces of humans. Such demonic creatures are countless, and this Empress has long been accustomed to them."

"Oh, and there was also a time when this Empress single-handedly entered the Netherworld Hell Path, slaying tens of thousands of fierce ghosts and evil souls with a single sword, and suppressing hundreds of thousands of heaven and earth evil spirits!"

"These little zombies of yours are not scary at all in this Empress's eyes~"

As she spoke, Long Yue paused, narrowed her eyes, and a playful, mocking smile spread across her lips.

"Could it be that you're scared? Oh well~ It can't be helped, you mortals are just timid~"

As soon as she said that, how could the viewers in the livestream room tolerate it?

[The Empress is showing off again...]

[Damn it! The Empress is mocking me again! But why do I feel a little good about it…!]

[Resident Evil wasn't scary enough, I should have just let her play a survival game!]

[Next time, I should just recommend Dark Souls and let the Empress experience the pain of forging iron!]

[I, on the other hand, quite admire the Empress's storytelling ability.]

[It's clear that the Empress is a veteran xianxia fan; she's probably read a lot of xianxia novels.]

[Don't get me wrong, I just love listening to the Empress brag! When others brag, it's not the same, only the Empress brags well!]

[…]

"You ignorant fools, everything this Empress says are things this Empress has personally experienced. How could it be bragging!"

Long Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, as she argued with the people in the livestream room, displeased.

She could tolerate them saying she played games poorly in the livestream, and even questioning if she was cheating, but she absolutely could not tolerate them questioning her identity as the Empress!

[Yes, yes, yes, we believe all of this is the Empress's personal experience.]

[Right, right, right, we have no intention of doubting the Empress.]

[Everything the Empress says is correct!]

[…]

After several days of livestreaming, the people in the livestream room were all regular viewers. They knew that Long Yue would argue with them every time, and now they had learned how to deal with her.

In this livestream room, you could mock the streamer, you could tease the streamer, but you absolutely could not question the streamer's identity as the Empress or her stories!

As expected, as soon as she saw the people in the livestream room change their tune, Long Yue let out a satisfied hum:

"Hmph, that's more like it~"

Empress, they're just pacifying you...

Lin Fan stood to the side, wanting to speak but hesitating.

It was obvious that the netizens in the livestream room didn't actually believe her. They were just pacifying her as if she were a child…

But seeing how happy she looked, he thought about it and decided not to expose them.

Forget it, let her be happy…

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
