Seeing his name listed as a room admin, Ji Mingrui couldn’t help but grin.
Why did this make him happier than getting company shares?
【You Brother Li, hey: By the way, Master, I can set up a group chat for you. Fans who have donated for a spotlight can join, so whenever you go live, you can just @ them directly—it’s faster.】
【You Brother Li, hey: I’m a max-level Yellow Diamond member, so there’s no limit to the number of people in the group. I can help maintain it, and as for the top 10 or top 50 spenders, Master can open a separate WeChat group for them.】
“Sure, thanks, Brother Li.”
Ye Zhishu could see that Li Hui genuinely wanted to help. She had just started livestreaming and wasn’t fully familiar with all the rules yet.
Li Hui’s willingness to help made things much easier for her.
Ji Mingrui: …
This Brother Li was annoyingly capable!
Damn it! He couldn’t manage billions in assets, yet he couldn’t even compete with a male streamer here!
【You Brother Li, hey: @Ji Mingrui’s alt, come help me! I can’t manage this alone.】
A twist of fate.
Ji Mingrui’s eyes lit up. Well… this Brother Li wasn’t so bad after all.
“Sure.”
【Look at the number-one spender looking so powerless! Clearly a laborer with money to burn, and yet he’s this happy?!】
【First time I’ve visualized the phrase “dumb money.”】
【You don’t understand—thirty years east, thirty years west. Don’t be fooled by my Mountain God Wife being penniless now. From today on, she’ll be untouchable!】
During the livestream, Ye Zhishu hadn’t even blurred her background on purpose.
She hadn’t used beauty filters either—peeling paint on the wall behind her was clearly visible.
Her financial situation was evident.
Watching the comments, Ye Zhishu found her audience amusing and chatted with them for another half hour.
Although the Carnival effects hadn’t faded, she still ended the livestream.
After the livestream, Li Hui added her on QQ, pulled her into a large group chat, and the group was lively. Ye Zhishu didn’t speak much—most of the time, Li Hui and Ji Mingrui were maintaining order.
Ye Zhishu checked the group chat, then quit QQ and added Ji Mingrui on WeChat.
He immediately sent a transfer of 100,000 and a location.
Ji Mingrui: 【Master, are you free this Saturday? I’ll come pick you up here.】
Ye Zhishu opened the location and saw a five-star castle hotel. More precisely, a five-star hotel built inside a castle.
The 3D location allowed her to view the entire hotel, magnificent and gilded—strikingly contrasting with her current poverty.
Ye Zhishu: 【Yes.】
The original owner had been unemployed, burdened by money worries. The landlord’s repeated rent calls had been the final straw. In other words, Ye Zhishu had been a penniless vagrant.
Time was more abundant than coins.
Of course, things were different now. She was practically a little rich lady, at least no longer worried about eviction.
Ye Zhishu: 【Yes.】
Ji Mingrui: 【Great. I’ll pick you up at 2:30 PM.】
Ye Zhishu: 【Okay.】
With the plan set, she put down her now-warm phone to charge, stretched, and looked up—making eye contact with a tiny cockroach.
Ye Zhishu: …
Even the cave she had temporarily stayed in before had been better than this place.
It was a one-bedroom apartment of roughly fifteen square meters. The original owner disliked sharing, and after a long search, found this small, decrepit place. Rent was 2,500 per month, paid three months in advance.
The small desk for livestreaming was right next to the bed, the white wall behind it.
In such a tiny space, there was also a bathroom, with a small bathtub just big enough to sit in. The original owner had used it to attempt suicide.
Although her mother had pampered her as a child, in this story, she ended up with such a miserable fate.
Ye Zhishu traced the ugly scar lightly, a chill flickering in her beautiful fox-like eyes.
Just above the scar, the little mountain mark twitched.
Ye Zhishu suddenly remembered she had forgotten something.
She tapped the mountain mark lightly.
A small, three-dimensional mountain slowly floated in the air, like a model.
The yellowed grass and trees on the mountain were clearly visible.
“Looks greener than before,” she murmured, stroking her chin.
【That’s because the Mountain God Master saved two lives!】 Even the noisy mechanical voice in her mind seemed more lively than at the start.
“And him?”
Ye Zhishu asked.
【Here!】
The mountain rotated, revealing a Taoist temple at its peak.
On the ruined, desolate stone steps, a white fox rested its chin on its paws, visibly frustrated. Its narrow, green eyes expressed indescribable vexation.
“How do I get in?” Ye Zhishu tapped the temple, and in an instant, she felt a spinning sensation. When she opened her eyes again, she was at the temple gate.
【That’s all it takes. As long as the Mountain God Master and Qingming Mountain’s spirit are united, entry is always possible.】
“I see,” Ye Zhishu murmured.
The white fox, seeing Ye Zhishu appear suddenly, practically leapt from the steps. Its eyes locked on her, a mixture of anger, resentment, and fear.
“Who exactly are you? What do you want from me?”
The white fox spoke human words.
“Ah, a male fox after all,” Ye Zhishu noted.
She raised her hand, and with a thought, the white fox’s body was restrained by an invisible force.
Her fingers lightly gripped its neck.
White Fox: …
Its eyes widened in terror. Finally, it was afraid.
“The fur is very smooth,” Ye Zhishu said, stroking its back. The texture was indeed nice.
White Fox: !!!
Perv—pervert!
“Hm, is it fully grown yet?”
Ye Zhishu’s hand slid underneath.
The white fox struggled violently. Its pride could not be humiliated.
But all resistance was futile.
In Qingming Mountain, Ye Zhishu was omnipotent. Everything in the mountain, including this “new member,” was under her control.
The fox tilted its head, green eyes staring blankly at the sky, looking utterly hopeless.
In this world, there was nothing left for it to care about. It wanted to die.
“Yo.”
Ye Zhishu’s tone lifted, her beautiful fox-like eyes squinting. “Didn’t expect… you’re still so small.” Not fully grown yet.
White Fox: !!!
Small, you and your whole family are small!
The fox bared its teeth, but it had no intimidation at all.
Finally, Ye Zhishu magnanimously released it.
