Chapter 39 - Thanks to the Demon Sovereign Next Door for the Rocket

Palace of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace Stream

【Yo, a new VTuber?】

【Palace of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace? Where have I ended up?】

【Gotta say, this stream title is pretty interesting. I just came in out of curiosity.】

【An empress persona, that’s pretty rare.】

【This empress avatar is very pretty!】

【Hello! Please marry me!】

【…】

Not long after the stream started, a few scattered bullet comments gradually began to float across the screen.

Long Yue’s little heart pounded with excitement. She joyfully craned her neck to stare at the bullet comments on the secondary monitor.

In the past, when she was truly presiding over the Palace of the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace, facing the ten thousand sects of the Immortal Realm, she had never been the slightest bit nervous or worried. Yet at this moment, sitting in front of a computer screen, her heart was leaping with excitement, and also a little bit of nervousness.

“Ahem, welcome, you mortals, to the palace of This Empress! This Empress is the palace master from the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace of the Immortal Realm. You all may address This Empress as Her Majesty the Empress~”

Long Yue lifted her head slightly and introduced herself, full of joy and pride.

The moment these words came out, the bullet comments immediately became a bit more lively.

【Ooh, she’s quite the actress.】

【What province is the Supreme Sacred Heavenly Palace in?】

【Her Majesty the Empress… hahaha.】

【I can’t, I can’t hold it in anymore. How does she do it without getting embarrassed or breaking character? She says it so naturally.】

【Acting like it’s for real.】

【Gotta say, it really does have that vibe!】

【…】

Watching the scrolling bullet comments all questioning and mocking her identity, Long Yue’s brow furrowed slightly, and she puffed up one cheek in annoyance.

“Hmph... you ignorant mortals are too rude!”

“This Empress is real! A true empress who accidentally fell to this place from the Immortal Demon Continent!”

【Yo, she’s pretty dedicated to the persona.】

【Not bad, not bad, very professional!】

【Since you are Her Majesty the Empress from the Immortal Realm, then you must know immortal arts, right? Can you perform one?】

【Right, right, perform one on the spot, and I’ll believe you’re an empress.】

【Do one~ Do one~】

In the stream, bullet comments from several people egging her on scrolled by one by one.

Long Yue blushed with embarrassment. She was so angry she wanted to turn on the camera and sling an immortal art right there to prove herself, but unfortunately, in her current state, she couldn't…

“When this Empress fell to this place, I unfortunately exhausted all my spiritual energy. I am temporarily unable to cast immortal arts…”

【I knew it.】

【Lost all her spiritual energy, so of course she doesn’t have to perform immortal arts. That’s a good setting.】

【I've read a lot of novels. Don't they say you can absorb the spirit of heaven and earth to recover spiritual energy? Surely the majestic Empress can do that?】

“Of course this Empress can!”

Seeing the last bullet comment in the stream, Long Yue couldn't help but get angry.

“This Empress has mastered three thousand six hundred kinds of spirit-gathering breathing methods in this world. Absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth to recover my own spiritual energy is of course no problem, but this lousy place doesn’t have a single bit of the spirit of heaven and earth! Not a single bit!”

“Otherwise, this Empress would have long since recovered my strength, shattered the void, and returned to the Immortal Realm!”

If she could have absorbed even a little of the spirit of heaven and earth, she wouldn't possibly be sitting here as a virtual streamer right now!

Lin Fan: “…”

Zhou Yan: “…”

Lin Fan and Zhou Yan sat on small stools at the bedroom doorway, cracking melon seeds on one hand while watching the interacting Long Yue with great relish on the other.

“Lin Fan, is sister-in-law being a bit too serious…?”

After cracking a melon seed, Zhou Yan leaned in close to Lin Fan and asked in a hushed voice.

The Empress persona was clearly just something arranged for her, yet she seemed to be desperately trying to prove to the people in the stream that she really was the Empress…

“That’s right, she is a bit too serious…”

Lin Fan smiled with a look of helplessness.

When he and Long Yue had first fought, he had merely mocked her with a single line, “So this is all the Supreme Empress of the Immortal Realm amounts to,” and she had held a grudge against him ever since.

From then on, whenever their two armies fought, she would come looking for him at the first opportunity, insisting on a life-or-death battle.

On any matter concerning her Immortal Realm and the dignity and honor of the Empress, she would never easily yield.

The crowd in the stream was doubting her identity as an empress, so naturally, she had to argue her case forcefully.

“Should we remind sister-in-law not to be too serious with the netizens…?” Zhou Yan couldn't help but worry, asking in a hushed voice.

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

“It’s fine. This is pretty good.”

On one hand, her character setting was an empress from the Immortal Realm who had fallen to the mortal world. Her trying so hard to prove she was an empress from the Immortal Realm made her seem even more in line with her character setting.

On the other hand, he found it quite interesting to watch Long Yue, as the Empress of the Immortal Realm, bickering with a group of netizens…

【If you're a real empress from the Immortal Realm, then you should have some ability to prove yourself, right?】

After reading this bullet comment as it scrolled by on the secondary monitor, Long Yue’s fine brow furrowed, and she immediately said with pride:

“Of course! This Empress has cultivated immortal arts since childhood. At the age of two, I could already proficiently read the myriad laws of the world. At three, I refined pills. At four, I refined artifacts. At five, I was well-versed in all kinds of formation arrays and restrictions. In all the various abilities required for cultivation, this Empress is second to none!”

At this point, Long Yue’s words paused. Her face showed a dejected look, and the pride in her words dissipated, replaced by a deep helplessness.

“It’s just that this Empress has now lost all my spiritual energy and cannot demonstrate anything. Otherwise, this Empress would definitely perform for all of you to see!”

【Why do I get the feeling the streamer isn't joking? That helpless tone sounds real?】

【Don’t be silly, where in the world would an empress fall to the mortal realm? It’s a character setting!】

【Right, what era is this? You have to believe in science!】

【Although it’s just a setting, she acts it out very convincingly.】

【…】

No one in the stream believed her, and the already small number of viewers was gradually dwindling. Long Yue couldn't help but lower her eyes in disappointment.

If only she had a little spiritual energy left on her, then she could perform an immortal art on the spot to prove herself and make the people in the stream stay…

Just at that moment, a rocket gift effect suddenly popped up in the stream's bullet comments, accompanied by a comment:

【I believe in you, Empress.】

Long Yue looked up in disbelief, the joy in her heart unable to stop from overflowing to the corners of her lips.

She had heard Lin Fan say that this kind of special effect usually meant someone in the stream had sent a gift.

She never thought she would receive a gift donation on her very first day of streaming, and it even seemed to be a rocket worth over 600 yuan!

However, compared to the gift money of over 600, what made her even happier was the other party’s short sentence, “I believe in you.”

When the vast majority of people question you, doubt you, and even laugh at you, and suddenly someone stands up and tells you they believe in you, that kind of emotional feeling wells up from the bottom of your heart!

Hot tears involuntarily moistened her eyes. Long Yue bit her red lip and thanked him softly, filled with gratitude:

“Thank you for your trust in this Empress! Thank you to ‘The Demon Sovereign Next Door’ for the... huh?”

As she read the user’s online name, Long Yue suddenly felt that the more she read, the more something seemed wrong. Her brow furrowed, and she turned her head to look at Lin Fan, who was sitting at the doorway of the bedroom.

On Lin Fan’s phone screen, her live stream was clearly playing…

Lin Fan looked up, gave her a knowing smile, and an encouraging thumbs-up.

Long Yue: “…”

Long Yue was speechless. The joy and touched feelings in her heart vanished without a trace in an instant.

As it turned out, the one who sent her the gift was none other than the Demon Sovereign himself…

Her computer desk was in the living room against the wall, while Lin Fan’s computer desk was in the bedroom next door. The two of them were separated by just one wall, so wasn't that literally living next door…

How boring. It made her feel touched for nothing…

The Demon Sovereign being her number one donor was really not something that made her happy at all…
