Happy Lottery!

After the explanation, everyone was left between laughter and tears.

Ye Lingling was astonished that her pure healing martial soul had suddenly developed a certain "offensive power"!

Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders!

It was just a misunderstanding, and the four of them quickly breathed a sigh of relief as the atmosphere returned to a harmonious state.

Chu Men suggested, "The riverbank is just ahead. Let's go sit there, catch the breeze, and rest our feet."

No one had any objections.

The four walked to the river and found a clean set of stone steps to sit on side by side.

The evening breeze rolled over the water, bringing a refreshing coolness that dispersed the heat and clamor of the night market behind them.

Chu Men took out the remaining fruit smoothie, dug out a large spoonful, and popped it into his mouth.

The three girls followed suit and began to eat.

Xiao Wu held her own container, picked out the largest, reddest strawberry, and held it out to Chu Men's lips, her eyes sparkling.

"Weird Uncle, ah—"

Chu Men smiled and opened his mouth to take it, the sweet fragrance of the strawberry melting on his tongue.

He felt like he had become Xiao Wu's feeding object for the night.

I feed the rabbit, and the rabbit feeds me?

Chu Men ruffled Xiao Wu's hair, and the young girl immediately lifted her chin triumphantly, like a little rabbit showing off her spoils of war.

Dugu Yan sat to the side, poking her mango chunks into mush with her spoon.

She stole a glance at the intimate interaction between Chu Men and Xiao Wu, her small mouth pouting slightly.

After hesitating for a long time, she shoved a piece of mango into her own mouth, the sourness making her frown.

Ye Lingling sat quietly on the far end, eating her smoothie in small bites while occasionally glancing at Chu Men's profile.

However, the moment she met his gaze, she lowered her head like a startled deer, the tips of her ears turning red enough to bleed.

The misunderstanding where she had accidentally made Chu Men "bleed from the milk" left her feeling both guilty and flustered, yet she couldn't help but want to sneak a few more looks.

She wanted to ask about the marvelous uses of the Inversion Pen, but with Dugu Yan sitting in between them, she found it difficult to speak.

The shimmering light on the river danced across their faces; despite it being a refreshing summer night, a subtle tension permeated the air.

Chu Men pretended to chew his strawberry slowly while secretly observing the three distinct girls beside him, sighing inwardly.

He had originally just wanted to take Xiao Wu to the night market to relax and fulfill the promise he made in yesterday's livestream.

It had inexplicably turned into a group of four, followed by the three girls laughing, chatting, and casting lingering glances.

This was only the beginning; if Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others were added to the mix later, wouldn't it turn into a complete mess?

Chu Men shook his head, then thought with heroic spirit:

What is there to fear? If others can do it, why can't I?

To miss out on such beautiful girls would be a lifetime of regret!

Isn't it just a harem? I, Chu Men, am a man who intends to establish the Soul Guidance Empire and become an emperor!

At this thought, his eyes became resolute!

The evening breeze blew gently, causing ripples to spread across the river.

Just like that, the four sat on the stone steps by the river; no one spoke, yet a wondrous, warm atmosphere flowed through the air.

Chu Men looked at the reflection of the city lights on the river and revealed a faint smile.

Today had been quite good!

[Ahhh! What kind of divine scene is this!]

[Surrounded by beauties, a winner in life!]

[I really wish time would stop at this moment! I'm so conflicted—I want to know what happens tomorrow, but I don't want this to end!]

[Host! Host! We went to the night market, but what about the promised giveaway?]

[Yeah! Host! Host! Giveaway! Giveaway!] ×999

The barrage began to scroll in unison, uniform as soldiers undergoing inspection.

Xiaoyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Lin Xiaoyu twisted her handkerchief with her fingertips, her eyes flowing as she watched the young man surrounded by girls on the screen, and she spoke with a hint of jealousy:

"Teacher Chu is quite blessed; it's a pity you still remember us poor souls."

"You only cared about wandering the night market all night, accompanied by three delicate beauties, having long forgotten us to the ends of the earth, haven't you?"

"Only now do you think of us, after making us wait for so long~"

The barrage reached a climax:

[Ah, it's Miss Lin!]

[She's acting so jealous, could it be that she's sour with envy?]

[Hahaha, the Yu-Men Faction is the one true path!]

Chu Men couldn't help but chuckle. He took a slight breath of the cool summer night air before opening the Douluo live-streaming panel.

"Stream: The Truman Show"
"Followers: 15.256 million"
"Online Viewers: 36.524 million"
"Streaming Points: 2.891 million (continuously settling)"
"Linked Guest: Lin Xiaoyu"

Good grief, his follower count had jumped by an entire order of magnitude!

Even though the night market stream was drawing to a close amidst bites of shaved ice, the number of online viewers in the chat room was still slowly climbing.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were still chatting quietly to the side, occasionally letting out exclamations and giggles.

Xiao Wu swung her legs, gazing off into the distance.

Chu Men didn't interact with the stream directly; instead, he pulled up the gift list on his streaming panel.

Sure enough, gift boxes containing processed soul beast products and specialty fruits from the Douluo World occupied the majority of the list.

Lotus seed pods, dough figurines, sugar paintings, and the like also held their own place.

There was even a limited-edition shadow puppet set from the Light and Shadow Theater, handcrafted and accompanied by a small soul-guided projection lamp.

Chu Men projected them all onto the stream at once, letting the tens of millions of viewers vote on the items of their choice.

The result was far beyond Chu Men's expectations.

He had assumed that items like the limited-edition shadow puppets or the flying broomsticks would receive the most votes, but to his surprise, the top-voted item was—

Candied hawthorns!

The Three-Color Candied Hawthorn Set received over 18 million votes, accounting for 49% of the total and topping the list!

Blue Silver Fruit, White Spirit Fruit, and Green Bamboo Fruit were not particularly rare foods, and the system-set price was only 10 points per set.

This meant the quantity that could be redeemed would be massive!

Chu Men calculated silently. With so many viewers having spent the night watching them eat, he certainly couldn't be stingy.

Especially with the three women beside him occasionally casting looks of admiration his way, he felt quite satisfied!

Seventy thousand prizes, relative to the current number of viewers, was barely two out of every thousand.

But this was still a sweet summer night gift that Chu Men was sending to the viewers in the real world.

As the list of winning IDs cascaded down the screen like a waterfall, system private messages flooded the phones of the lucky viewers, much like the dandelions that had danced through the air earlier.

Seventy thousand viewers, including quite a few foreign friends, almost simultaneously activated the receiving function on their Douluo App.

Exquisitely packaged gift boxes were transported right beneath their cameras.

[I won!] ×999

[Damn it, so close! I wanted to taste what candied hawthorns from another world are like. Offering a high price to buy one!]

[So sweet! No wonder Sister Xiao Wu likes them so much!]

[I tasted one, the flavor is incredible. It has a refreshing, invigorating feeling. Too bad my mom took the rest to get them analyzed, wuwuwu~]

[Oh my god!!]

In Dorm 302 of Modu Normal University, four girls were huddled in front of a computer.

Su Wan's fingers gripped her phone so tightly that her heart felt like it was about to burst from her chest; her thin clothing could hardly conceal the heaving of her bosom.

The moment the golden winning pop-up appeared, she shrieked and sprang up from her chair, nearly flipping the laptop on the table!

"I won again! This is amazing! Candied hawthorns from the Douluo World!"
