Inside the livestream.
The viewers burst into laughter.
Xie Zhengxing quickly put away the smug expression on her face, brushed back her hair, and greeted everyone with utmost seriousness.
“Hello, Audience Bosses! Today is another day of this streamer working diligently. Processing spirit tea is pretty boring, so today I’ll take everyone on a tour of the Shanghui Sect.”
【Your Strong One Has Arrived】: Hahahahaha!
【Three Seconds for You】: Streamer, streamer, how are you so adorable?
【I’m a Sucker for Tragic Romance】: She actually encouraged that freckled horse-faced girl to take her place in the marriage! What do I do? What do I do?! I’m so looking forward to Chu Moyun bringing her back tomorrow only to realize he’s picked up the wrong bride. Wuwuwu… I think I’m just hopelessly addicted to melodrama~~
【Who Do You Think You Are】: Streamer, you’re seriously playing with fire!
Xie Zhengxing shrugged.
“I couldn’t help it. One wanted to marry, the other wanted a wife. As such a kind-hearted person, how could I possibly stand in the way of true love?”
Besides…
She was a streamer.
Of course she had to choose the most melodramatic option out of ten thousand possible storylines.
The fact that she hadn’t arranged for Chu Moyun to receive a young male concubine instead already showed how merciful she was.
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: Compared to all that soap-opera drama, I’m more excited for the streamer to pass the Outer Sect Promotion Tournament. Once you become a Formal Disciple, you should finally be able to raise spirit beasts.
Xie Zhengxing clenched her fist.
“I’ll work hard!!”
After that, Xie Zhengxing led her viewers on a tour of the Shanghui Sect.
“The Shanghui Sect has four mountain peaks, upon which nine major halls have been built. They’re called the Hall of Primordial Origin, High Heaven Hall, Mission Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Myriad Treasures Vault, Dao Comprehension Hall, Pill Cauldron Hall, Spirit Beast Garden, and Discipline Hall.”
The viewers became visibly excited as they looked upon the magnificent jade palaces shrouded in mist and immortal qi.
Xie Zhengxing lightly touched her lips with a fingertip and smiled.
“Next, everyone can vote freely. I’ll tally up each hall’s popularity and rank them in order.”
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: Spirit Beast Garden! Spirit Beast Garden!
【Riding Grandma Across the Galaxy】: Beast Bro has finally gotten his chance. Since he’s been so persistent, I’ll vote for Spirit Beast Garden too.
【Eaves】: What’s the Hall of Primordial Origin? It sounds incredibly prestigious!
【Three Seconds for You】: Isn’t the Myriad Treasures Vault better? Just hearing the name makes it sound rich and dazzling.
【I’m a Sucker for Tragic Romance】: I vote for Chu Moyun’s cave residence!
【Your Strong One Has Arrived】: LOL, the person above wins.
【Awake at 3 A.M.】: Hatred of the Sea, you’re seriously devious! You’re always trying to trick Xingxing into following the romance route! That’s complete nonsense! Terrible advice! You’re practically forcing an innocent young woman into the sea!
【Who Do You Think You Are】: Scripture Pavilion! Scripture Pavilion! I’m going to secretly learn the basics of spiritual qi! I’ll cultivate immortality with machinery in our own world!
The chat became extraordinarily lively.
Aside from the crazy I’m a Sucker for Tragic Romance, who tirelessly insisted on visiting Chu Moyun’s cave residence, each of the Shanghui Sect’s nine halls had its own supporters, and the competition was fierce.
Just as the Myriad Treasures Vault was beginning to pull ahead, Exotic Beast Enthusiast suddenly posted a photo.
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: Please vote for Spirit Beast Garden. I’ll show everyone my abs.
A glowing white selfie appeared on-screen.
The young man looked pleasantly handsome, shirtless, with clearly defined six-pack abs.
Utterly captivating.
The chat fell silent.
Then…
The female viewers exploded into screams.
【Eaves】: Holy crap! What a sinister vote-buying strategy!!
Not long afterward, another message appeared.
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: Bro, vote for Spirit Beast Garden too. I’ll show you me in women’s clothes.
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: 「Image」
This time, he was wearing white thigh-high stockings, a JK school uniform, and a wig.
His eyes looked large, and the overall appearance was remarkably feminine.
This time, the male viewers also erupted.
【Eaves】: I’ve switched sides on the spot. I’m voting for Spirit Beast Garden! Beast Bro, drop your address.
The viewers were having a wonderful time.
Xie Zhengxing was equally entertained watching the spectacle unfold.
Five minutes later, the results came out exactly as expected.
Standing ramrod straight, she pretended to hold an invisible microphone as though she were hosting a prestigious awards ceremony.
“After our Beast Bro’s tireless efforts—and shamelessly selling his looks—the rankings of the nine halls have officially been decided.”
“First place, with absolutely no competition…”
“Spirit Beast Garden!”
“Second is the Myriad Treasures Vault, followed by Pill Cauldron Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Hall of Primordial Origin, Mission Hall, Dao Comprehension Hall, Discipline Hall, and finally High Heaven Hall.”
“Alright! We’ll visit them in that order!”
With that, Xie Zhengxing dropped the pose and began touring the Shanghui Sect according to the original owner’s memories.
However…
She was merely an ordinary servant disciple.
She wasn’t qualified to approach any of these halls.
She could only stand outside the fences and protective barriers, observing the scenery from afar.
Inside, there were three-headed snakes…
Nine-colored spirit deer…
Half-meter-long iridescent butterflies…
And countless other spirit beasts unlike anything anyone had ever seen or even heard of.
The chat was instantly filled with amazement.
【Eaves】: Beast Bro, your sacrifice wasn’t in vain. These spirit beasts are so beautiful. Compared to the interstellar beasts from our dimension, these are simply pleasing to the eye—so elegant and immortal-looking.
【Riding Grandma Across the Galaxy】: I want that long-haired calico spirit cat! Holy crap! It’s so adorable and beautiful! I can’t even imagine how healing it’d be to hug it whenever I’m feeling down.
The Shanghui Sect was enormous.
An entire afternoon was only enough to briefly visit two halls.
Amid the warm and cheerful atmosphere in chat, Xie Zhengxing returned to her room and ended the stream.
【Current Stream Popularity: 1,387 Viewers】

【Popularity Rewards This Stream:
【Donation Rewards This Stream: None】
Since the content had been fairly ordinary, there were no donations today.
Xie Zhengxing took it in stride.
She had worked her way up from being a small-time streamer herself.
She knew perfectly well that a new streamer without an established fanbase couldn’t possibly expect rewards every single time they went live.
Still…
Today’s gains weren’t bad at all.
Her popularity remained decent.
Although it wasn’t nearly as explosive as the first day—when she’d received the Gene Enhancement Serum—the Smart Sleeping Bed was already an excellent reward.
Without hesitation, Xie Zhengxing took it out on the spot, hugged her blanket, and lay down on it.
The Smart Sleeping Bed immediately adjusted itself to the temperature she found most comfortable.
The moment her head touched the pillow…
She fell asleep.
She slept soundly through the entire night without dreaming.
The next day.
The Shanghui Sect’s annual Outer Sect Disciple Promotion Tournament officially began.
Xie Zhengxing got up before dawn.
After washing up, she headed straight for the tournament venue—
Shanghui Plaza.
Along the way, she noticed that the roads were filled with servant disciples just like herself, all hurrying to the sect competition.
The streets bustled with people, and the crowd surged like a tide.
Blending into the sea of disciples, she attracted no unusual attention whatsoever.
With a slight movement of her thoughts, Xie Zhengxing opened her livestream.
The moment it went live, countless viewers flooded in.
There were more than five hundred of them.
Some were loyal viewers who had followed her streams over the past two days.
The rest were casual viewers who had visited yesterday without following but had bookmarked her livestream instead.
Today’s timing was simply too special.
It was both the day Xie Zhengxing planned to participate in the Outer Sect Promotion Tournament…
And the very day Chu Moyun was sending people to bring her to his cave residence as his little concubine.
The ambitious viewers were eager to see whether Xie Zhengxing could successfully pass the Shanghui Sect’s disciple examination and become a Formal Disciple.
Meanwhile, the chaos-loving viewers were simply there for the drama.
They couldn’t wait to see Xie Zhengxing’s deception exposed—and were even more curious to find out what Chu Moyun’s reaction would be once he discovered the truth.
