105: Qingya Court

Bai Xue, not having much stamina, fell into a deep sleep after all that activity.

Looking at the beautiful scene before him, Li Youqian contentedly lit a Taishan Baijiangjun cigarette.

Even though he was rich now, he was still used to smoking Baijiangjun; other brands just didn't hit the spot.

He heard that tobacco tax revenue couldn't keep up with military expenses anymore, so he had to smoke a couple more.

If you don't smoke and I don't smoke, who will fix the motherland's aircraft carrier?

If you don't smoke and I don't smoke, what will we use to build fighter jets?!

"Boss, do you need the hotel to prepare dinner?"

Nuo Yi knocked on the door and asked respectfully from outside.

Only then did Li Youqian realize that after an afternoon of activity, it was already late.

"Have them make some medicinal dishes to replenish qi and blood, and then stew an old hen soup."

Normally, a hotel of this caliber wouldn't prepare "low-grade" ingredients like an old hen in their kitchen.

But since Li Youqian requested it, the hotel would definitely send someone to buy it.

"Understood, Boss."

After finishing his cigarette, Li Youqian played with a pair of jade artifacts in his left hand, while picking up his phone with his right to open Douyin.

Haijing No. 1 currently only housed two women, which was far too few; he needed at least a dozen to match his sudden status, right?

Moreover, with more people, the probability of divine artifacts appearing would also increase accordingly.

According to unofficial historical records, there were a total of ten divine artifacts in the world.

These were one-in-ten-thousand, or even one-in-one-hundred-thousand existences.

Ancient emperors had three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and some even had three thousand beauties in their harem.

Even then, they might not have been able to collect all ten supreme treasures. For Li Youqian to achieve this feat, it was a long and arduous journey!

"Brother, stop it, let me sleep a little longer."

Bai Xue was woken up by Li Youqian's movements. She opened her hazy eyes, letting out a charming sound.

"Go back to sleep. I had the hotel prepare some medicinal dishes for you."

Li Youqian stroked Bai Xue's head and said gently.

This girl was indeed exhausted; it was truly not easy for her to last an entire afternoon on her first time.

"Mmm, mmm, call me when the food is ready. I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep a little more."

Bai Xue snuggled into Li Youqian's embrace and fell back into dreamland in less than a minute.

"Being young is great; you just fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow."

...

Li Youqian lay on the bed, continuously swiping through live streams, unable to find a sister that caught his eye.

"No, this beauty filter is too strong."

"Damn, even a beauty filter can't save you. Why are you aAppearance anchor (beauty streamer)?"

"This is clearly fake, either padded or enhanced. Too fake, too fake."

"This seller is good, but unfortunately, it's official."

"Is your putty free? You've scraped so much on your face!"

As the live streaming industry became more and more popular, more and more "ordinary people" chose to become streamers, fantasizing about getting rich overnight.

Li Youqian began to miss the old days of streaming. Back then, those who could be streamers all had some real talent.

Either they were beautiful women doing suggestive dances, or game streamers showing off their skills. It wasn't like now, where anyone could stream.

No, now even non-humans could stream!

Li Youqian scrolled to a League of Legends live stream and was about to click in, when he accidentally slipped again, and again, and again, and again~

You really can't say, every time Li Youqian accidentally slipped into a live stream, there was a pretty sister.

"Brother Qingfeng! Don't add any more, brother! If you add more, we won't be able to finish dancing!"

"Oh no! Why did Brother Jiu add 1314 too!!"

"That's enough, big brothers, if you add any more, we won't be able to finish dancing even after overtime!"

Li Youqian entered a group live stream called Qingya Pavilion, and all the members were cheongsam beauties.

Group live streams are different from regular live streams. In a group live stream, each member has their own "exclusive" gift.

Usually, these are small gifts like little hearts or big beers, worth one or two Douyin coins.

As long as you send a small gift, the corresponding person will come forward to dance.

If every member receives a gift, it's like a voice chat room: whoever's big brother sends the most, dances first.

At this time, the host was hoarsely urging the big brothers not to send any more small gifts. The opening dance was for data, and the real money would come from the later PK segment.

[Mysterious Person 541880 has entered the live stream.]

The 888888 ID had become too widely known, so Li Youqian decided not to use it anymore and simply used a random ID.

"Welcome, Mysterious Person 541880, brother."

"Brother, your ID is quite good!"

[Laughing to death, this ID seems to be taking advantage, but in reality, it's a huge loss.]

[This ID... it's hard to describe.]

[(61) Qingfeng Xulai: "Why does everyone like to use Mysterious Person?"]

[(61) Qingfeng Xulai: "This thing is expensive and impractical, and you can't even show off."]

In his opinion, level was status. Wasn't status what you wanted when you streamed?

Wearing the Mysterious Person's outfit directly concealed your level and name, so all the money you spent would be wasted, wouldn't it?

[Maybe they don't want to be disturbed?]

[Indeed, streamers now are more frantic when they see a big brother sending gifts than zombies seeing live people.]

[The backend private messages are endless.]

[Don't you think reading little essays is very interesting?]

[Emmm... it was interesting at first, but then it became annoying.]

[Mysterious Person 541880: "It's simply to avoid being disturbed."]

[Mysterious Person 541880: "Coming out to play is for fun. If you're noticed everywhere you go, it loses its meaning."]

His account had too much notoriety; no matter which live stream he went to, someone would recognize him.

Once he took off his disguise, if he didn't send gifts, envious people would say he'd run out of money, which would then cause a small stir.

"Brothers in the live stream, please like! When we reach 300,000 likes, we'll invite out today's Mysterious Guest!"

[Mysterious Guest? Could it be a new person?]

[It shouldn't be a new person, Qingya Pavilion already has 6 members, full!]

[Then I don't know.]

[Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and like!]

[I can't afford gifts, but liking is no problem.]

There were over three thousand people in the live stream, and 300,000 likes were reached very quickly.

The host didn't drag it out and immediately had the Mysterious Guest appear.

"Let's give our warmest applause to welcome today's Mysterious Guest - Ashen Meng!"

Accompanied by a graceful and rhythmic musical melody gently pulsating, a stunning figure slowly appeared within the camera's view.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, like a sculpture, yet it exuded a cool and detached aura. Her long, dark, lustrous hair cascaded like a waterfall down to her slender waist, swaying gently with the breeze, adding a touch of etherealness and agile beauty.

Compared to her, the other six beauties seemed somewhat overshadowed.

"This girl is good, I must get her!"

He hadn't yet experienced what a cold beauty tasted like.
