After following her brother back, Yun Long ended the call and pulled up her playlist, playing “Qian Si Xi” to cleanse her ears.
“Babies, do you have any songs you like? One fan badge gets you a song request.”
She didn’t plan to do any more PK battles. Interacting with people she wasn’t familiar with was a bit difficult for her—socializing drained her energy too.
As she looked at the densely packed song titles scrolling across the public screen and was about to pick one she was good at, she heard her phone buzzing nonstop.
Yun Long opened her phone from an angle invisible to the stream and saw a pile of people in the guild group chat @-ing her, telling her to come out and say something.
She couldn’t figure out what was going on, but seeing that Wang Quan had also sent her a message, she simply tapped into it.
[Yun Long, the punishment you set for the PK with Jin Se is too harsh. Jin Se has connections behind her, and now she’s gotten the top streamer to come after you. Whatever you do, don’t accept it. Just play dead in the group chat.]
Her brow furrowed slightly as she read Wang Quan’s message with some curiosity. What’s going on that I should play dead?
“Babies, nature calls, so I’m going to the bathroom. Little Crocodile will stream for me for a bit.”
With that, Yun Long placed the little crocodile pillow on the chair to stream in her place, and took her phone to the bathroom.
[Seriously, bros, the streamer really doesn’t treat us as outsiders, huh.]
[Aibo, wait for me, I want to go with you.]
[Bro above, what are you thinking? If anyone’s going, it’s me.]
Yun Long read through the group chat carefully and figured out the whole story.
[A Basket of Xiaolongbao: Fine, I’m streaming right now. Just connect with me directly in a bit @DisneyPrincess]
Looking at the punishment Disney Princess had proposed in the group, Yun Long felt a surge of excitement. What a great deal—lose the PK and she’d be released from her A-tier contract.
No more streaming, no more dealing with people. This wasn’t a punishment at all; for her, it was simply a gift from heaven.
It must be that the heavens heard what she said to Little Crocodile yesterday—how else could she be so blessed?
Yun Long came out of the bathroom with delight all over her face.
“Babies, your streamer is back. Let’s pause the song picking for a moment—a big streamer wants to connect with us for a PK. Guess who it is?”
She took the crocodile pillow down and, without betraying anything, opened the PK connection.
Seeing Disney Princess in the PK connection list, Yun Long didn’t hesitate for a second and clicked accept.
“Oh, I really didn’t expect you to actually dare to accept the PK. Let’s begin—you know the punishment.”
With that, Disney Princess started a 5-minute PK, immediately muted Yun Long’s mic, and began vigorously rallying votes.
Yun Long shrugged. This lady was really efficient—jumping straight into the PK the moment she connected.
Still, she was quite pretty, the striking-features type of beauty Yun Long liked, somewhat resembling Princess Ariel from Disney.
According to the group chat, she was one of the guild’s top streamers, with plenty of viewers in her stream every day.
Thinking of how powerful Disney Princess was, Yun Long couldn’t suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth.
Once this PK was over, she could end her streaming career. There was no better feeling.
“Let’s see which fan baby guessed right. The first one to guess correctly gets to pick a song!”
Yun Long’s livestream viewer count broke ten thousand the moment the PK started. Those who had come to stir things up and curse at her were, unfortunately, disappointed—before accepting the PK, she had already set the public chat so that only fans at Level 2 or above could comment.
[My little ancestor, can you please work on rallying votes? The punishment for losing the PK is contract termination and quitting streaming!]
Wang Quan had just walked in to see Yun Long looking completely relaxed, and in shock, he dropped the cup on his desk, shattering it on the floor.
Yun Long watched as no one guessed correctly. She had originally planned to wait until the last two minutes, sing “The Best You in the World,” and end her streaming career. She never expected Wang Quan to show up.
Thinking of how Wang Quan had always treated her well since signing her, she perked up and prepared to rally some votes, at least a little.
What she didn’t expect was that after Wang Quan’s floating-screen message, the gift effects in her livestream started rising—and never stopped.
[Ban Yao Er Sheng sent Yilong Xiaolongbao Carnival Gift x1 x2 x3… x66]
[Mysterious user 9527 sent Yilong Xiaolongbao Carnival Gift x1 x2 x3… x66]
[L sent Yilong Xiaolongbao Carnival Gift x1 x2 x3… x66]
Yinyin Messaging App’s duo PK had a gift cap—once the tipped diamonds exceeded 500,000, victory was automatic.
Without a doubt, the little crown of victory landed on Yun Long’s side of the PK bar.
[L: What’s going on? The streamer’s quitting right as I arrive? Not allowed.]
Yun Long stared in shock at the endless Carnival Gift effects flooding the screen. Wait, were these people insane? Her plan to quit streaming, her beautiful life—gone, just like that?
And then she thought of all the confetti cannons she’d have to fire for all these effects… Yun Long felt half-dead inside.
Even so, she put on a brilliant smile. This was all money, after all—who could afford to offend their sugar daddy?
“Thank you, thank you, Ban Yao gege, for so many, many Carnival Gifts. You’ve spent too much, Ban Yao gege. Here’s a big big heart for you!”
“Thank you, mysterious user 9527, for so many, many Carnival Gifts. You’ve supported Xiaolong since yesterday, and Xiaolong remembers it all.”
“Wow, Brother L is a new gege today! Supporting Xiaolong this much the moment you arrive—thank you so, so much, gege!”
Yun Long thanked them out loud while quietly crying inside. Her plan to quit streaming—how did it collapse like this?
What happened to the guild’s top streamer? What happened to them beating her off the platform? Liars. All of them, liars.
Mysterious user 9527 watched Xiaolongbao smiling so brightly as she thanked him, and felt a faint discomfort. He sent a message directly.
[Why are they all “gege” while I’m just 9527?]
