Xu Yi invited Qi Lin to move in with him. Given Qi Lin's strong-willed personality, she naturally refused without hesitation.

Xu Yi did not press the matter. He had only asked casually and had already known the answer.

After hanging up, Xu Yi scrolled through short videos on his phone to pass the time.

The entertainment industry in this world was extremely prosperous. All kinds of short videos emerged one after another, and streaming had naturally become a profession as well.

The videos showed all sorts of female streamers displaying their talents to attract passersby.

Xu Yi was not particularly interested in video streams. He preferred documentaries about nature and humanity.

For some reason, the app suddenly switched channels and brought him into a female streamer's Live Stream Room.

He had been about to leave, but then he realized that this female streamer did not seem to be human. Even through the screen, he could tell at a glance.

The streamer was a fiery young girl in her teens, wearing hot pants and an off-the-shoulder T-shirt. The shirt bore a cartoon pattern resembling Pikachu.

She wore a pink animal-ear hair clip, a light touch of lipstick, and had bright eyes with a strangely captivating allure. An ordinary person might have been drawn in after just one look.

All sorts of gift effects flashed across the stream.

The girl danced enthusiastically while thanking her viewers, visibly excited.

"I remember there was a Super Warrior in the Super Soldier Company with demon genes, supposedly a Nine-tailed Fox. Could this girl be Ah Li?" Xu Yi guessed.

Her age, foxlike traits, and irresistible charm all matched up perfectly.

"Interesting." Xu Yi continued watching her stream.

From an artistic perspective, both the lighting and composition were flawless. Ah Li's figure was the same—brimming with youthful vitality, while the unconscious charm she exuded tugged at one's heartstrings.

After dancing for around five minutes, Ah Li was drenched in fragrant sweat and breathing somewhat heavily, which only added a few more layers of temptation.

The comments were filled with remarks from veteran flirtsters. Clearly, the people behind their screens were extremely excited.

Just then, a Carnival gift effect appeared in the comments.

It pushed the atmosphere in the Live Stream Room to its peak.

Ah Li's face flushed crimson as she said gratefully, "Thank you, Great Sage Brother, for the Carnival! Ah Li is truly so grateful to you. May handsome and dashing Great Sage Brother always be healthy, free from illness and disaster, and earn ten small goals this year."

It had to be said that Ah Li had a very pleasant way of speaking.

Thus, the top-ranked supporter named Great Saint sent another three Carnivals.

Ah Li was so moved that she cried. "This isn't the first time Great Sage Brother has sent Ah Li gifts. Although Great Sage Brother doesn't talk much, he has always silently supported Ah Li from behind. Ah Li is truly happy to have a god like Great Sage Brother watching over her."

Xu Yi tapped on Great Saint's profile picture. It was an image of a monkey.

"Sun Wukong?"

Xu Yi thought for a moment. There was also a Super Warrior named Sun Wukong in the Super Soldier Company.

Moreover, Sun Wukong had some history with Ah Li. They had known each other for a thousand years.

But the current Ah Li was not the Ah Li of the past. She was merely a teenage girl.

Xu Yi grew interested and directly tapped the gift effects, sending over three or four Hua Zi.

"??"

Ah Li first froze, then stared in disbelief. Covering her mouth, she said, "Thank you, Xu Mouren, for the gifts! Ah Li is truly so happy today. I've gained the protection of another generous passerby."

Before she had even finished speaking, Great Saint sent another five Hua Zi.

"!" Ah Li froze.

Xu Yi smiled and sent another ten Hua Zi.

Watching the effects fill the screen, Ah Li felt ecstatic inside, though she still looked utterly incredulous on the surface, like a pitiful and delicate little flower.

Fight, fight!

The big spenders are fighting!

That means I'll get even more gifts!

Hehe, men!

That was what Ah Li was thinking. She only hoped they would send more and more gifts.

They were separated by a screen anyway, merely putting on an act. If shedding a few tears could get her gifts, she could cry for three days and three nights.

At that moment, in a small private villa on the outskirts of Juxia City.

A humanoid monkey wearing SpongeBob pajamas leaped up from his bed and cursed, "Oh ho, so you want to compete with me?"

"Sending so many Hua Zi—don't tell me he has improper designs on Ah Li."

The monkey was Sun Wukong, the big spender who had been silently supporting Ah Li all along.

When Ah Li first entered the streaming industry, Sun Wukong had quietly followed her and occasionally sent gifts to support her.

Ah Li had grown up in an orphanage. Her family background was not very good, and both her parents had been terrible people who died early.

After becoming an adult, Ah Li had gone out to work and support herself.

By chance, streaming began to take off, and Ah Li entered the industry.

Sun Wukong sent gifts because he hoped Ah Li could live well. The internet held too many temptations, and whenever some big spender appeared, he feared Ah Li would be deceived, so he spent money to drive away those passing rich guys.

In truth, with Ah Li's looks and conditions, it was difficult for her not to become popular as a streamer. Yet she had never taken off.

That was because Sun Wukong had used his connections to alter Ah Li's Live Stream Room. It was nearly impossible for people to notice it. Only a dozen or so viewers came and went, and once they left, it was difficult to find it again.

Ah Li knew nothing of this. She merely thought the competition among streamers was too fierce.

Still, with Great Saint's support every month, she was able to live without worrying about food or clothing.

Sun Wukong checked his balance. There was not much left.

Although he had some savings, he could not afford to keep sending Ah Li gifts every day.

He had not wanted to spend any more, but Ah Li kept calling him Great Sage Brother, and his hand involuntarily tapped the gift button.

"Hmph, I, Old Sun, am the top supporter. Ah Li can't be lured away by bad people."

Sun Wukong topped up his balance and tapped out more than twenty Hua Zi.

At the same time, he commented, "Keep going, hehehe!"

The viewers below all spammed, "Great Saint is awesome!" Ah Li grew excited, her pretty face flushed red. A trace of the magic within her unconsciously leaked out, leaving the viewers in the Live Stream Room utterly entranced.

Seeing Sun Wukong getting competitive, Xu Yi casually sent fifty Hua Zi.

He also said, "Hello, streamer. If you're free, let's have tea together tomorrow."

"Holy shit!" Sun Wukong practically cracked apart on the spot. His face turned red with rage, and he wanted to kill someone.

The viewers eagerly watched the drama unfold, constantly spamming sixes.

Ah Li's heart pounded wildly, but she still said reservedly, "Since Brother Xu has supported Ah Li so much, if I'm free, Ah Li will definitely thank you in person."

"Not enough?" Xu Yi sent another hundred Hua Zi.

"It's enough, it's enough. Time and place."

Ah Li felt as though happiness had struck her senseless. She had never seen such a wealthy passerby before.

Although he was most likely coveting her beauty, Ah Li herself hoped to find a rich second-generation heir who could support her. She was not someone with especially lofty ambitions.

The viewers sighed that Great Saint was going to be heartbroken.

In fact, Xu Yi's move truly broke through Sun Wukong's defenses. He immediately called Du Kao and shouted anxiously, "Old Du, Old Du, hurry up and transfer a hundred over to Old Sun!"

"?"

Du Kao looked at the caller ID. It was indeed Sun Wukong's number. Calmly, he asked, "Wukong, what happened?"
