The time was a little past eight in the evening.
Bai Ye asked Gou Dan to fetch some branches and set up the lighting lamps he brought, turning the small stone hill into a natural small stage.
"Brother Ye's eye for detail is truly superb! Look at this scene, Hollywood blockbusters don't have such magnificent imagery!"
Xiao Daimei watched with great interest, explaining to her fans as she went.
To help Bai Ye, she had just gifted nearly a million yuan in gifts, and her live stream room now only had a little over 100,000 viewers.
Her fans were starting to feel concerned.
"Xiao Daimei, quickly connect with Brother Ye!"
"Yeah! We love seeing you two connect!"
"Cough, cough, it's my turn. Daimei is brave!"
"Brother Ye is on parental leave!!!"
"Hahaha!"
Teased by her fans, Xiao Daimei's face flushed red, and her big eyes darted around.
But she retorted stubbornly, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't mess with me!"
"Brother Ye and I are just friends!"
She actually really wanted to connect with Bai Ye, and had tried to apply for a connection several times, but she ultimately gave up.
Her current popularity was only over 100,000, while Bai Ye had over 7 million.
She worried that people would gossip, saying she was approaching Bai Ye to leech off his popularity.
"Oh, oh! How long have you known each other? And you're already friends?"
"Xiao Daimei, are you two friends, for real?"
"Hahaha!"
"Xiao Daimei, hurry up, hurry up, capture Brother Ye!"
"Exactly! Strike first, suffer later! Brother Ye is very popular now!"
The netizens thought she was shy and kept encouraging her.
Xiao Daimei also felt a bit excited by their words.
Meanwhile, the time quickly ticked over to 8:30 PM.
Having organized everything, Bai Ye said, "I know everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time, so our magic show tonight officially begins!"
The over 7 million viewers erupted in cheers.
"Wuhoo~"
"Brother Ye is the GOAT!"
"Brother Ye is so handsome!"
"I can't watch movies or TV shows anymore, I just love watching Brother Ye's streams!"
"Before we begin, we need to invite a beautiful lady to spend this wonderful evening with us!"
Bai Ye's words instantly sent the audience into a frenzy.
"A beauty?? Hahaha, Brother Ye likes that too? I like it!!"
"Who, who? Could it be Xiao Daimei?"
"Cough, cough, it's my turn! Brother Ye is brave, Daimei is on parental leave!!!"
"Brother Ye, connect with Big Ear Tu Tu!"
"What's so great about Big Ear Tu Tu? If you're connecting, connect with An Ni, she's cute and interesting!"
Fans flooded the comment section with the names of their goddesses, hoping Bai Ye would connect with them.
At this moment, hundreds of beautiful female streamers on Douyin were sending connection requests to Bai Ye.
Zhuzhu, Jing Chuan Liyu, Hui Zi, Dai Gula...
Even female streamers with tens of millions of followers couldn't resist and sent invitations.
With over 7 million viewers, and a stable audience, that was more than all these goddesses combined!!!
Envy, longing, hearts fluttering!
Xiao Daimei also felt a surge of nervousness, her beautiful eyes showing anticipation.
However, "you get paid to do a job."
Seeing that her fans all wanted to connect with their goddesses, Bai Ye thought to himself, "There's no helping it."
"The beautiful lady we're connecting with tonight is the online singer, Song Qianqian!"
Saying this, Bai Ye moved his thoughts and connected the live stream room with Song Qianqian.
"Hello everyone, I am Song Qianqian. Good evening, Brother Ye!"
In the live stream room, a sweet girl appeared, with a cute, healing smile, holding a microphone in the center of an indoor stage.
Her delicate small face was lightly made up, with air bangs, and slightly curly long hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a light yellow T-shirt and denim shorts, revealing her slender, fair legs. There was no garish makeup for enchanting sexiness, but rather a demure, pleasing appearance.
"Holy cow! Brother Ye actually connected with Song Qianqian, I heard she's preparing to debut!"
"I've heard her songs, they're very nice and healing!"
"My girlish heart just melted with that smile!"
"I'll be honest, I like this beauty!"
Song Qianqian was also a major streamer with over 30 million followers, and many in her live stream room knew her, which made countless fans excited.
However, tens of thousands of fans sadly exited the live stream, disappointed that Bai Ye hadn't chosen Xiao Daimei.
"Why didn't Brother Ye connect with Xiao Daimei?"
"Did Brother Ye change his mind?"
"Don't be sad, Xiao Daimei, we're here with you!"
"I heard Song Qianqian is releasing a new song, is Brother Ye doing a commercial collaboration with them?"
"It's possible! During the PK just now, two god-level tycoon accounts suddenly appeared, maybe they came to help!"
In Xiao Daimei's live stream room, fans were a mix of shock and confusion.
Some were angry, while others offered comfort.
Xiao Daimei's charming eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly masked it.
She opened the chicken-eating game.
"Brothers, I haven't finished teaching the Little Overlord shooting technique from before, let's continue!"
"Hello! Miss Song, I am the magic streamer, Ye!"
Bai Ye smiled slightly, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.
With a "da," blue roses appeared around him, each with a wisp of flame burning on it.
"It's our first meeting, a little magic trick for the beautiful lady Song."
Bai Ye bowed gentlemanly, and the flaming roses around him slowly ascended, gradually disappearing into the night sky.
That scene, that gravitas, was leagues above sending a carload of flowers or covering the ground with heart-shaped roses.
The live stream room instantly ignited.
"Holy cow! Brother Ye is too good at flirting!"
"If I had Brother Ye's magic and looks, I'd conquer acres of cabbage!"
"Acres of cabbage don't need Brother Ye's caliber! If I had Brother Ye, I'd jump into the sea directly!"
"Brothers upstairs! Aren't you afraid of premature death from exhaustion?"
"Damn it! If I had Brother Ye's magic, would I still be single now?? Where can I learn magic? I'll sign up tomorrow!"
"Brother Ye is so handsome! If I had a boyfriend like Brother Ye, I'd be willing to die ten years younger!"
"Just spending a day with Brother Ye would be worth it!"
Song Qianqian covered her small mouth in surprise, her star-like eyes sparkling, her cheeks flushed with shyness from the flirtation.
"Ah~ Thank you! Brother Ye's magic is too beautiful!"
Bai Ye smiled brilliantly and said loudly, "As many of you probably know, our beautiful lady Song is releasing a new song. Tonight, we'll have a combination of magic and song. I believe the beautiful and sweet-singing Song, Miss Song, will surely make our performance even more perfect!"
"Wuhoo, hurry up and start your performance!"
"Qianqian's singing is truly healing, and Brother Ye's magic, well, it's beyond words, it's unbelievable! Their joint performance must be spectacular!"
"A perfect match of male and female gods! Brother Ye, Qianqian, get to work!!"
"Good idea! A feast for the eyes and ears, quickly, quickly!"
Song Qianqian's live stream room also had nearly 500,000 viewers. Together, they had 8 million viewers!
The audience was getting impatient with excitement.
In front of Song Qianqian's stage, there was a large screen.
It displayed her live stream room.
Seeing her live stream room's viewership surge due to Bai Ye's popularity: 600,000, 700,000...
In the blink of an eye, it was approaching 1 million. Song Qianqian's starry eyes were filled with joy.
"You all are so expectant, it touches me deeply. My new song is titled 'Let Me Be Your Eyes,' and I hope you all like it."
Saying this, she looked at the accompanying musician by the stage and said, "Music!"
The next moment, powerful and melodic music began to play, resounding in the minds of millions of viewers.
Song Qianqian swayed her graceful body to the music, her face adorned with a sweet, girlish smile.
"Sounds good! Looks good!"
The audience's eyes immediately lit up, and many couldn't help but sway along with the music.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye dimmed the surrounding stage lights, preparing to complement Song Qianqian's singing.
The few seconds of intro quickly passed.
Song Qianqian picked up the microphone, her star-like eyes looking at Bai Ye, singing as she danced.
"Let me be your eyes, so you can see clearly"
"Singing this love song to you, treating you as a star in the sky"
Her husky voice carried a touch of boldness, yet it felt sweet and healing.
Coupled with rhyming and meaningful lyrics, and pleasant, rhythmic music, the millions of viewers erupted in cheers from the very beginning.
"Sounds great! Addictive!"
"A song like this should have a concert!"
"Qianqian's singing is so soulful!"
[Aristotle Deft sent a Carnival x1]
Aristotle Deft: "Wonderful! Exceeded my expectations! Honestly, at first I thought Qianqian was just a pretty face trying to leech off Brother Ye's popularity! It seems Brother Ye has a discerning eye!"
[Chief Instructor of the Brothel sent a Carnival x1]
Chief Instructor of the Brothel: "From now on, Qianqian is my goddess! No one else!"
Song Qianqian's appearance and her song were both impeccable, perfectly embodying "beautiful and sweet-singing." Even before finishing the song, she had won the audience's approval!
Suddenly, the audience was once again shaken.
"Look! Brother Ye is moving!"
"Holy cow! Cool!"
"Is this Brother Ye's flame magic? It can be used like this? Awesome!"
"Brother Ye can dance too? Holy cow! Light dancing? Street dancing? Cha-cha? "
"So dazzling!!!"
On Bai Ye's side.
As Song Qianqian began to sing "Let Me Be Your Eyes," a sly, mischievous smile curved his lips.
He extended one hand and waved it at the camera.
Then, taking a step back, he raised his right hand and flicked it with the music, his body shaking. As if transforming, a pair of dazzling flaming wings appeared behind him.
Around him, shimmering firelight suddenly appeared, plunging the entire hilltop into a moment of brilliant splendor.
Compared to Bai Ye's performance, Song Qianqian's dazzling stage seemed to dim, like a glow-worm next to the bright moon.
"There's no stage more beautiful than this in the world!"
Millions of people widened their eyes, their mouths agape, lost in a colorful romance.
Then, Bai Ye began to dance along with Song Qianqian's singing and the music.
The dance moves he had learned – light dancing, street dancing, cha-cha, various cool and stylish moves – were seamlessly connected, his movements flowing like water, smooth and complete, with a balanced rhythm and expressive power.
The male viewers watched intently, their eyes glued to him.
Bai Ye danced so effortlessly that it gave them a feeling: maybe dancing wasn't that difficult?
But when they tried to imitate him, attempting a few moves, they found themselves twisting their bodies awkwardly, looking utterly ridiculous!
The female fans, of course, were screaming incessantly. They wished they could rush through the internet wires, grab Bai Ye, and merge into him completely!
"Ahhh! How can Brother Ye be so handsome!"
"Where can I find a boy like Brother Ye? I'm so lustful that I'm soaking wet!"
"Ever since I discovered Brother Ye, I haven't had feelings for any other celebrities!"
"What idols, what fresh meat, in front of our Brother Ye, they are all weak!"

Song Qianqian sang while watching Bai Ye, and whether it was due to performance anxiety or excitement, her heart inexplicably raced.
In an instant, the explosive popularity of the two live stream rooms drew the attention of a large number of new users.
Song Qianqian's live stream viewership: 1.2 million, 1.6 million, 2 million+
Bai Ye's live stream viewership: 7.6 million, 8 million, 8.8 million, 10 million+
The new viewers who flooded in were instantly captivated by the charm of the two, with 99% of them remaining after entering.
"Holy cow! What have I discovered? Two treasure streamers!"
"Douyin actually has such high-quality talent streamers? I love it, I love it!"
At this moment, it wasn't just the audience who were shocked.
The managers of Bilibili, Huya Live, and Douyin were completely restless.
A stable online viewership of 10 million, such a streamer had never appeared before!
Bai Ye had set a record!
They vaguely saw Bai Ye's future – he was the ceiling of talent for this generation!
Huya Live Manager: "Quick, send Bai Ye a message. We agree to his conditions, an annual salary of 200 million. If he doesn't get an extra 10 million, it's 210 million annual salary!"
"Yes, yes, Manager!"
At Douyin headquarters, Manager Lu looked at Bai Ye's data with disbelief.
Suddenly, he snapped to attention and called his assistant.
"Quick, send Bai Ye a message, we agree to his demands, all three conditions!"
"Huh? Manager, we agree to him taking 70% of the advertising revenue as well?"
"Nonsense! Of course, we agree, what are you babbling about? Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes!"
The Bilibili manager operated it personally.
"Bai Ye is currently focused on his magic performance, he definitely won't see the messages!!"
"I guess those idiots from Huya and Douyin are messaging Bai Ye, begging to sign him?"
"Heh heh, a bunch of idiots!"
"Xiao Li, log into the company's god-level tycoon account on Douyin for me, I have a use for it!"
"Yes, Manager!"
