The fans and customers of the children's clothing store in Modu watched in stunned silence as Bai Ye's figure, along with the pile of bags, vanished without a trace, leaving the shop empty.
"Another vanishing act, like magic? He really just disappeared?"
"That's amazing!!"
"Brother Ye lives up to his reputation as the world's greatest magician. We have no idea how he did it!"
"No wonder the tickets are so expensive and still impossible to get! The live performance is so much more shocking than what you see on stream..."
"Wait... is Brother Ye just going to leave like this?"
"Uh... holy crap!! I haven't even gotten his autograph or a photo yet!"
By the time everyone reacted, they realized that Bai Ye, their popular streamer, had once again absconded. They found the situation strangely familiar.
"However, it's much better than the previous times when fans got nothing. At least we got two sets of clothes!"
"Son, remember, you can't get these clothes dirty or damaged, or Mommy won't want you anymore!"
"Hahaha~ I'm so lucky today, I'm posting on my Moments to share the joy!!!"
...
As they posted on their social media, those who used Douyin directly uploaded videos they had taken. Soon, major platforms took notice.
The first gossip news about Bai Ye topped the entertainment hot search. However, as the gossip spread, it began to twist.
"Holy crap, have you guys heard? Brother Ye has a little daughter!"
"What?? So Brother Ye is married? Wuwuwu~ I'm so heartbroken!"
"No way? I heard Brother Ye likes lolis?"
"Cough!! Brother, is that information reliable? So Brother Ye is one of us?"
...
Lone Star Villa.
Lydia changed into a small silver-white dress and cute flat princess shoes before bouncing out the door. Since she didn't know how to do makeup or style her hair, it saved a lot of time.
"Brother~ I'm ready!"
Lydia happily spun around, then blinked her big eyes, waiting with immense anticipation. Her skin was naturally fair and tender, and even her hair was silver. At first glance, she looked like a silver-white porcelain doll.
With her adorable and naive appearance, it was hard not to like her, regardless of gender!
Even Bai Ye smiled with narrowed eyes. "Very cute."
"Ying ying ying!" Xiao Fantuan, sitting on Gou Dan's head, also happily waved its paws.
Gou Dan and the others didn't have much of a reaction, as Lydia's disaster-level great demon status had left too deep an impression on them.
Seeing her beautiful, silky long hair cascading down her shoulders, which wasn't suitable for the ranch forest, Bai Ye casually used his spatial power to tie it into a ponytail, fixing it with a beautiful bow made of ice.
He had considered tying it into a bun for convenience, but he himself didn't know how.
"Thank you, Brother~" Lydia smiled sweetly, as if she had eaten honey, then easily hopped onto Bai Ye's back.
"Brother, let's go!!" she exclaimed, excitedly waving her little fists, a hint of mischief in her clean, beautiful big eyes.
Bai Ye smiled. "Let's go!"
"Woof woof woof woof!!!"
Finally arriving at this moment, Gou Dan and the others couldn't hold back, their excited barks echoing through the nearby forest.
Suddenly, the previously noisy jungle fell silent, followed by a wave of commotion.
It was already past three in the afternoon, an hour later than the 2:30 PM Bai Ye had promised.
"Open the live stream."
With a thought from Bai Ye, the live stream began.
In the camera, a lush jungle appeared, with towering trees draped in old vines. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating the ground covered in tender grass and fragrant wildflowers.
From the depths came the chirping and rustling sounds of animals...
The viewership of the live stream increased rapidly.
Domestic viewers: 10 million, 15 million...
R-country viewers: 2 million, 3 million...
Everyone's eyes lit up at the beautiful natural scenery in the camera.
"Holy crap! Is this Brother Ye's ranch? Did Brother Ye really return to the country?"
"This familiar scene, it feels like a long time has passed, but also like it hasn't been that long!"
"My youth is back! Sending Brother Ye a sports car to liven things up!"
The R-country fans were the most impressed.
"Wow wow! Is this Bai Ye-chan's hometown? It's so beautiful!"
"I always thought Mount Fuji was the world's best scenery, but there's such a beautiful place!"
For a moment, everyone was captivated by the scenery in the camera. Meanwhile, some attentive fans noticed changes on the live stream screen.
In the bottom right corner, above the R-country column, a new comment section had appeared.
Korean viewership: 100,000... 300,000... 500,000...
"What the heck is this random live stream recommendation?"
"The scenery is pretty good! But that's it? Our great Han Country has plenty of scenery like this!"
"This live stream is so strange! It even has R-country viewers. Oh? This is a live stream from Great Xia Country? There's even a translator, that's alright, that's alright!"
"Hurry up and show us the program, my time is precious!"
...
The Korean viewers, who had just arrived, spoke with a hint of arrogance. Soon, the attention of domestic and R-country fans was drawn to them.
Seeing that they were Korean viewers and so arrogant, the domestic and R-country fans immediately became enraged!
"Heh heh! Korea is really impressive, the number one in the universe!"
"A place the size of a palm has so many famous historical sites? You're talking nonsense!"
"Baguayalu! How dare you call yourself 'ye' in front of Bai Ye-kun, be careful or I'll disembowel you and scoop out your kidneys!"
