Chapter 12: The No-Filter Challenge

Hearing Ling Xiaoli’s words, Luo Zhaoyin hurriedly waved her hands.

“How could I? I haven’t decided how to release this song yet. Maybe I’ll give it away for free!”

“Eh! Then I’ll definitely listen to it the moment it comes out!”

“Xiaoli, that really hurts my feelings. What if I charge for it? Would you not listen then?”

Luo Zhaoyin pressed a hand to her chest, pretending to be heartbroken.

Ling Xiaoli fell silent for a second.

“Hmm, I’ll have to think about it. Hahahaha…”

“Hahahahahaha…”

The two women laughed together in front of their respective screens. There was no denying that seeing two beautiful women appear together was a feast for the eyes.

Even such an obviously commercial “performance” had plenty of viewers watching with great interest.

After a while, Ling Xiaoli was the first to stop laughing.

“Alright, enough nonsense. Ayin, are you ready? Shall we begin?”

Luo Zhaoyin nodded.

“Okay! Here’s A Small Town in Jiangnan for everyone!”

Melodious music began to play, instantly transporting the listeners to a small town in Jiangnan…

“Stone-paved paths winding on, a quiet girl washing clothes.”

“Curling kitchen smoke rising, a quiet girl washing clothes.”

…

It was not only the audience in front of their screens who became intoxicated by the song. Even Ling Xiaoli was completely mesmerized.

No matter how beautifully the book had described it, nothing compared to hearing it with her own ears.

That ethereal voice paired with such a gentle melody was truly an exquisite experience.

When the song ended, the entire livestream room erupted. All kinds of comments and gifts flooded the screen.

Airplanes and rockets were sent as if they cost nothing. Every now and then, a yacht or a Super Rocket would float past.

After coming back to her senses, Ling Xiaoli was extremely satisfied.

Regardless of whether the major event she was about to cause achieved the desired effect, at the very least, Ayin’s song was certain to become popular.

In the original story, Luo Zhaoyin’s song would later be stolen and uploaded by someone else, leading to all sorts of trouble. But with Ling Xiaoli’s interference, wouldn’t it now be able to soar straight to success?

Besides, she was about to stir up trouble. She could guarantee that the song’s popularity would be no lower than the impact caused by the troubles in the original story.

She had participated in the original plotline involving the release of the new song, while also befriending Little Cutie.

Perfect!

Vitality increased ↑!

The two continued chatting for another ten minutes or so before Ling Xiaoli and Luo Zhaoyin amicably ended their connection.

Watching Ayin’s figure disappear from the screen, the corners of Ling Xiaoli’s lips curled up slightly.

Time to stir things up!

“I heard there’s a no-filter challenge that’s been popular lately. It looks really fun. Does everyone want to see me try it?”

Ling Xiaoli added a question-mark effect to herself, causing a large question mark to hang above her head.

As she tilted her head from side to side, the question mark moved along with it, making her look especially adorable.

She seemed to be genuinely asking for everyone’s opinion.

The moment she said this, it was like dropping a depth charge into a pond. In an instant, the entire comment section exploded.

Some viewers posted various symbols and emojis to express their confusion.

Many others objected:

—【Lili already seems to be using a bare-face effect today, so does that mean we’ll get to see Lili without makeup today? Nooo!! I don’t want to see it!!】

—【No, no, no! Refused! My goddess is exactly like this in my heart!】

Of course, there were even more people who loved watching the chaos unfold:

—【Do it, do it!】

—【If you dare, I’ll send you a Super Rocket!】

—【I want to see it! I want to see it!】

—【The rich guy upstairs is awesome! 66666!】

—【I’m different from all of you. I don’t want to see Lili without makeup. I’m a very simple person—I only want to see Super Rockets.】

As word spread, countless people rushed over. In just five minutes, the livestream’s popularity index surpassed three million!

And it was still rising nonstop!

This was the peak moment of the account Meng Meng Meng Ya Li since it had begun livestreaming.

Amid the countless opinions, Ling Xiaoli blinked and gave a faint smile.

“Oh my, it looks like so many people want to see it. Then let’s give it a try!”
