I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams

Chapter 200: Piggybacking on Your Traffic

A silver-white dragon slowly appeared, illuminating the entire stream with its colors. The special effect lasted for a long time and was broadcast across the entire platform.

Meng Xiaoxiao continuously sent "Diamond Dragon Rangers," muttering to herself, "Why is this platform so stingy! These gifts are way too cheap. The most expensive one is only ten thousand yuan! Whatever, I’ll just send a few more. Huh? There’s a 1314-gift combo! Perfect!"

Seeing Meng Xiaoxiao’s gifts, the viewers in the stream were stunned:

[As expected of a top female celebrity, she’s loaded! Ten thousand yuan is nothing to her!]

[Xiao Xiao, if you have too much money, can you give some to me? I want some too, Xiao Xiao!]

[Holy shit, Meng Xiaoxiao is basically the Goddess of Wealth! Hey, Goddess, look at me! I want a Diamond Dragon Ranger too, can you send me one?]

[I remember the streamer said before that viewers who aren’t getting a reading shouldn’t donate more than one hundred per stream, and those who have had a reading shouldn’t donate more than 3,000. Anyone who exceeds the limit gets banned, right?]

Shen Zhiyao explained, "That rule is for regular viewers, but..."

Shen Zhiyao glanced sideways at Meng Xiaoxiao. "But certain wealthy big-shot celebrities and major sponsors are not included."

After the major sponsor finished gifting 2,000 Diamond Dragon Rangers.

She looked up with a grin. "Hehe, that’s me, the sponsor who’s not short on cash! Twenty million yuan is nothing compared to her saving my life. None of you should copy me. It’s not easy for you all to earn money, so you should save it for your families and yourselves. That’s also why Yaoyao made this rule!"

After speaking, she draped herself over Shen Zhiyao’s shoulder and nuzzled against her affectionately. "Our Yaoyao only looks cold and distant. On the inside, she’s actually super warm!"

Meng Xiaoxiao really adored Shen Zhiyao. It wasn’t just because Shen Zhiyao had carried her up the mountain or helped her get revenge; more importantly, she radiated a golden light of merit.

’As long as I stay with her, isn’t achieving immortality through cultivation just a matter of time?’

Shen Zhiyao saw right through the fox’s little scheme and quickly pushed her away. "Women shouldn’t be so physically close either. Don’t stand so near me."

The viewers in the stream were completely melted by the sweet interaction between the two beautiful women.

One was cool and deadpan, the other was bubbly and energetic. They were such a feast for the eyes, and some people even started shipping them as a couple.

Shen Zhiyao felt that with Meng Xiaoxiao constantly pestering her, she couldn’t even do her fortune-telling. So, she decisively tossed Meng Xiaoxiao out the door.

When she turned back, she realized the "Diamond Dragon Ranger" special effects flashing on the stream’s screen still hadn’t faded.

[System Notification: Chen Yan has sent Diamond Dragon Ranger ×3000.]

Shen Zhiyao frowned. ’What is this kid doing?’

Shen Zhiyao took out another phone and secretly sent Chen Yan a message:

[Shen Zhiyao: Didn’t you get into the entertainment industry because you were dirt poor? You still have the money to gift me thirty million!?]

[Chen Yan: Your popularity is high right now. What’s wrong with me spending some money to become your top donor?]

’Ugh... Spending so much money just to ride my coattails...’

[Shen Zhiyao: Where did you get so much money?]

Chen Yan had told her before that Wudang Mountain was always poor. They earned a lot of money from exorcisms and pacifying spirits, but all of it was donated.

[Chen Yan: Earned it by selling my body, of course!]

[Shen Zhiyao: ...]

[Chen Yan: I still have money, so don’t worry. Just don’t mind me leeching off your popularity. Compared to money, I care more about fame!]

Soon, the viewers in Shen Zhiyao’s stream all started talking about Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was also a cultivator. Besides making money, he needed to increase his popularity to advance his cultivation.

So his reasoning was plausible.

[Shen Zhiyao: If you need popularity, you can start your own stream. I can just give you a shout-out. There’s no need for you to send so many gifts.]

[Chen Yan: Okay, got it. It won’t happen again!]

In the cabin next to Shen Zhiyao’s, Chen Yan looked at his number one spot on the donor list and nodded in satisfaction. ’Just a sly fox, and she thinks she can compete with me for the top spot?’

’In her dreams!’

Because he had lost too many followers and couldn’t retain viewers in his stream, Zhou Ye was sitting on the deck, feeling the breeze and zoning out. The production team wasn’t giving him any screen time.

Also unpopular, just like him, was Zhao Jing.

She walked over to the deck and sat down with Zhou Ye.

The two sat together, chatting helplessly. As they talked, Zhao Jing steered the conversation toward Shen Zhiyao:

"I heard you’re Shen Zhiyao’s boyfriend. Is that true?"

Zhou Ye corrected her, "Ex-boyfriend!"

"Her popularity is through the roof right now. You debuted earlier than her, and you’re her ex-boyfriend. How could your popularity not compare to hers?"

Zhou Ye felt extremely frustrated at the mention of this.

Back then, it was Shen Zhiyao who had said she would do everything in her power to make him a star.

But later, to smooth his path to stardom, he had abandoned Shen Zhiyao and run off to suck up to Kang Naixin.

And what was the result? Not only did Shen Zhiyao not show him any understanding, but she also caused a huge scene at his concert, leaving him drowning in scandals. Now he’s even lost a million followers.

Zhao Jing noted Zhou Ye’s expression and began to fan the flames. "A breakup is a breakup, but the bond from all those years is still there. She’s so famous now, and she has Yuanqi Entertainment backing her. Surely she can get you a lot of resources, right? Did she get you this guest spot on *Qing Qing Wo Wo*?"

"I fought for this spot myself. It has nothing to do with Shen Zhiyao."

To get on this show, he had made a ton of empty promises to Kang Naixin and said every sweet thing he could think of.

He originally thought he could gain a million followers and take his popularity to the next level.

Who knew that Meng Xiaoxiao, who had been missing for so long, would suddenly return, completely unharmed!

Thinking back on it now, Zhou Ye was filled with regret. He felt he shouldn’t have been so greedy for that bit of attention and gone to cry at Meng Xiaoxiao’s "grave."

"Oh, so you got this opportunity yourself! I thought Shen Zhiyao helped you! Zhou Ye, I’ve seen your dramas before, you’re a great actor. In your last series, you played the second male lead, but you were even more popular than the main actor. You were trending for days. I was so jealous watching you."

"Seriously, I don’t think your acting is bad at all. If you could just land a good script as the male lead, you’d be an A-lister in no time!"

Zhao Jing saw the camera turning toward them and quickly shifted her body away. "I hear Yuanqi Entertainment has a lot of good scripts. Shouldn’t you ask your ex-girlfriend to introduce you to some?"

"That woman has always been cold-blooded. Why would she help me?" After being repeatedly rebuffed by Shen Zhiyao, Zhou Ye had come to see this clearly.

Zhao Jing looked around, and after making sure no one was there, she lowered her voice. "Didn’t you two date for nine years? You never slept with her?"

She had originally wanted to ask if Zhou Ye had any intimate photos of Shen Zhiyao. Releasing them would definitely ruin her.

But to her surprise, Zhou Ye just shook his head. "Never."

Shen Zhiyao was too old-fashioned, always insisting he couldn’t touch her before marriage.

Although she loved Zhou Ye deeply and was willing to give him anything, the one thing she wouldn’t give him was her body.

She had said, "My body is pure. I can save it until our wedding day as a surprise for you."

She valued her chastity above all else. There were several times Zhou Ye got angry about it, and in the end, he could only go find someone else to satisfy his needs.

Zhao Jing said in disbelief, "No way! You two dated for that long and never slept together?! Some women are just so pretentious. Before you sleep with them, they act all aloof. But once you do, they become obedient, willing to give you everything, bear your children, do your laundry, cook, and raise the kids!"

Hearing Zhao Jing’s words, Zhou Ye scratched his head in confusion. "Is that how it works?"
