【Awake at 3 A.M.】: Xingxing has it so hard. If I were Xingxing, I’d go crazy too. If Boss Ha were here… he’d definitely help Xingxing.
【*】: …
【*】: Sorry.
【Riding Grandma Across the Galaxy】: …Wait, High-Level Star Brother? You still haven’t left??
Oviselas had originally intended to exit the stream, but for some inexplicable reason, he had stayed until now.
Thanks to the explanations from the veteran viewers in the livestream, he had already learned most of the circumstances surrounding this new streamer.
But he had no intention of bringing any of it up.
Watching the girl on the other side of the screen, whose mental state had become suspiciously “beautiful” after the shock she had suffered, Oviselas reached out and slowly typed a few words.
【*】: Until his closed-door training is over, I’ll be your Top Supporter instead.
Xie Zhengxing instantly dropped her dramatic performance.
She knelt upright on the bed, resting her hands obediently on her knees, her face full of disbelief.
“Really?”
【*】: 1
“I don’t believe you.”
A red bullet comment floated across the screen.
【*】: Rewarded one 『Multi-Function Military Survival Pod』.
Xie Zhengxing’s eyes widened.
“!!”
High-level big shots never wasted time talking.
They simply typed a calm “1” and directly rewarded something incredibly valuable.
The rest of the viewers instantly became jealous.
【Eaves】: Holy crap, holy crap, HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!! Is that a survival pod?! Holy crap! The Multi-Function Military Survival Pod that’s been going viral across StarNet? Other than the military, only the rich and powerful can afford one! It’s insanely expensive!!!!
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: !!!!
【Your Strong One Has Arrived】: The streamer actually managed to attract a hidden-level Big Boss!!
【Three Seconds for You】: Confirmed. Acting pitiful really works! Big Boss, Big Boss, look at me! Big Boss, I want to be your bootlicker!
【Who Do You Think You Are】: I was the one who joked that Star Brother should compensate the streamer by becoming her Top Supporter, but now that he’s actually doing it, I don’t like it anymore! QAQ
【Awake at 3 A.M.】: This is wonderful. Thank you, Star Big Brother. Star Big Brother, please help Xingxing. Don’t let that man hurt Xingxing.
Although Xie Zhengxing had no idea just how amazing the Multi-Function Military Survival Pod actually was…
Judging by the reactions in chat, it had to be something extraordinary.
Without hesitation, she immediately knelt on the bed and began chanting like a broken record.
“Thank you, Star Big Brother! Star Big Brother, please help Xingxing! Protect Xingxing! Don’t let that man hurt Xingxing!”
Watching her kneel so solemnly, Oviselas couldn’t help curling the corners of his lips upward.
She really had quite an adorable personality.
After finishing her exaggerated kowtow, Xie Zhengxing sat back up and formed a heart with both hands before the camera.
“Thank you all for watching! That’s all for today’s stream. This streamer has been busy all day and is really tired now. See you tomorrow~”

【Donation Rewards This Stream:
Although the popularity rewards from this stream were rather meager…
She had received five separate donations.
The first thing Xie Zhengxing looked at was the Multi-Function Military Survival Pod inside her system inventory.
A big shot truly was a big shot. The moment he made a move, it was with something on this level.
No wonder everyone in the livestream had been so envious.
Combined with her system inventory, it was practically the equivalent of carrying a portable safe room with her wherever she went.
Whenever danger arose, she could simply take it out, deploy it, hide inside, wait until the situation outside was safe again, then pack it back into her inventory.
If it could withstand stellar explosions and planetary collisions, then even if some old monster at the Void Refinement or Integration Realm attacked her, she wouldn’t have to worry about getting killed.
Bang!
Just then, a loud crash echoed beneath the bed, causing the bedframe—and Xie Zhengxing herself—to shake.
She froze for a moment before quickly lying flat on the bed and peeking underneath.
Beneath the bed, Zhao Donglei, whose body was tied up and whose mouth was gagged, was furiously kicking the underside of the bed with both legs.
He looked like an enraged ugly merman.
The moment he saw Xie Zhengxing, the fat on his face quivered as he let out a muffled warning.
“Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!!!”
She didn’t even need to hear the actual words to know he was threatening her to release him immediately—or she’d regret it.
“You old bastard. You’re still refusing to behave even after being tied up.”
As she spoke, she casually grabbed the Quantum Pulse Stun Baton, shoved it under the bed, and zapped him twice more.
Zhao Donglei’s eyes rolled back, and he immediately fell silent again.
After ending the stream, Xie Zhengxing wandered around the Shanghui Sect while casually gathering information.
Before long, she learned the exact date of the Outer Sect Promotion Tournament.
Three days later.
By sheer coincidence, it happened to be the very same day Chu Moyun planned to send people to escort her to the Main Peak to become his little concubine.
Inside the Servants’ Courtyard.
Xie Zhengxing sat beside a freckled servant girl with a long horse-like face in front of an enormous round bamboo sieve.
The sieve was piled high with fresh green tea leaves.
Their task today was to process all the spirit tea that had been harvested for the sect.
Using only her thoughts, Xie Zhengxing opened her livestream and gave today’s broadcast an impressively pretentious niche title.
【Traditional Spirit Tea: Preliminary Sorting and Processing Methods】
In reality…
All they were doing was plucking off the old leaves and tossing them into one basket while placing the tender buds into another specially made container.
Sigh…
A stream was a stream.
She might as well broadcast whatever.
As soon as the stream began, several familiar viewers entered.
【Awake at 3 A.M.】: I’m first!
【Three Seconds for You】: Professional troublemaker Number One reporting for duty.
【*】: 1
【Who Do You Think You Are】: Streamer, streamer! You’re acting so serious today. So elegant and high-class~~~
【Riding Grandma Across the Galaxy】: Star Brother is really guarding the streamer! What incredible integrity! He’s generous too! Help, I’m in love!
Xie Zhengxing winked at everyone.
Then she immediately straightened her posture and adopted the demeanor of a refined, graceful lady.
In truth…
She hated this kind of work.
After pinching leaves for only a short while, she was already getting impatient.
Her determination to participate in tomorrow’s Outer Sect Promotion Tournament only grew stronger.
Once she became a formal disciple, she’d only need to go out on adventures—
No.
Go out for cultivation training.
And while she was at it, she could livestream and charm her viewers.
That was her comfort zone.
Not sitting here doing manual labor while listening to the male lead’s brainless fangirl stare at her with envy and resentment, endlessly rambling about how lucky she was.
Finally unable to bear it anymore, Xie Zhengxing looked up.
“Are you really that jealous?”
The girl immediately raised her voice.
“Of course! That’s Senior Brother Chu—the man every woman in the entire sect dreams of! If he hadn’t been poisoned by an aphrodisiac and urgently needed someone to cure him, someone with your status and appearance would never have crossed paths with him in your entire life! You really struck the jackpot! Why wasn’t I the one Steward Zhao asked to deliver the spirit wine? If it had been me, I’d be the one getting married today!!”
Every word dripped with regret.
“Then you go marry him.”
“Huh?!”
Xie Zhengxing tossed aside the handful of green leaves in her hand and beckoned for the girl to come closer.
The girl stood up in confusion and leaned beside her.
Xie Zhengxing immediately lowered her head to the girl’s ear and quietly whispered her plan.
After hearing it, the girl’s face instantly turned bright red.
Her eyes darted around nervously.
She looked tempted…
Yet conflicted…
And afraid.
“If you’ve made up your mind, then tomorrow evening at dusk, put on the bridal gown, cover your face with the bridal veil, and wait outside my room for them to come pick you up.”
After delivering those meaningful words, Xie Zhengxing rose to her feet and walked away without another glance.
The horse-faced girl remained seated where she was, completely stunned.
Far away, after turning the corner and making sure the girl could no longer see her, Xie Zhengxing finally curled her lips into a grin.
With an expression of pure satisfaction, she gave herself a thumbs-up.
Perfect.
As expected of you, Xie Zhengxing.
Without anyone noticing…
She had successfully talked her way out of work.
