Chapter 148: Chapter 139: You Guys Have 10% Off Water Bottles Here?

(Readers who aren’t interested in the livestreaming PK content can skip to Chapter 152 without affecting their understanding of the story.)

"Lili..."

Yaya poked Princess Lili’s arm. "A lot of people are saying Prince Heng is in Xi Xi’s stream. They’re telling us not to do a PK battle with Xi Xi, saying we’re guaranteed to lose."

"Who’s Prince Heng?"

A hint of confusion appeared on Princess Lili’s delicate face.

She and Yaya had been streaming nonstop, teaming up to create all sorts of content, so they hadn’t been paying much attention to what was happening elsewhere.

Besides, it had all happened so recently that the impact of the PK battle between the twin sisters and Bingbing hadn’t fully spread yet.

"I don’t know either."

Yaya shook her head, leaning in to stare at the scrolling comments, trying to find an answer in the chat.

"They’re saying..."

Yaya’s eyes widened slightly. "That Prince Heng in Xi Xi’s stream just spammed 200 Carnivals in someone else’s stream!"

"Oh my god!"

"For real?!"

Yaya’s reaction was so priceless it could have been a meme. She reached for her phone, opened TikTok, and started searching for Prince Heng.

Soon, related clips and highlights popped up.

The endless cascade of Carnival gift animations, along with the notification in the bottom left of the screen—[Prince Heng] sent Carnival ×199+—all proved that what their fans were saying was true.

"It’s actually real!"

"No wonder Xi Xi dared to make such a huge bet with us."

"With Prince Heng as her backer, how could we possibly win?"

"We might as well just surrender, pack our bags, and get ready to buy tickets to Zhonghai."

Princess Lili flopped back in her chair, looking ready to give up.

"The last train from Hang City to Zhonghai is at 10:58 PM."

Yaya was already checking for tickets. "Are we really going to Zhonghai?"

"What?"

"The battle hasn’t even started and you’re already surrendering?"

"Don’t you have over seven thousand people in your stream?"

"Between the two of you, don’t you even have the courage to put up a fight?"

Seeing the two of them on the verge of giving up, Xi Xi immediately started to taunt them.

"Lili, Yaya, we welcome you to Zhonghai."

Just then, Yaya peeked into the frame. "We’ll be waiting for you at The Bund~"

"Yaya!"

"You and Xi Xi are together!"

A look of surprise crossed Yaya’s face. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. "Don’t tell me you’re with the Shuyue Shuyu sisters, too? Your backgrounds look so similar!"

"Hello!"

"Are you guys coming over?"

"Wanna grab a drink together later?"

The appearance of the twin sisters confirmed Yaya’s suspicion.

In Princess Lili’s stream, a flood of comments scrolled by.

"Why are Yaya, Xi Xi, and Shuyue Shuyu all together? Are they at some kind of group event?"

"First Shuyue Shuyu, now Xi Xi. It’s obvious that Prince Heng himself is right there with them!"

"Wait, are Lili and Yaya really planning to go to Zhonghai?"

"If they really go, how is that any different from meeting up with a whale offline?"

"I watched that last stream. That Prince Heng isn’t just ridiculously rich, he poached Bingbing and arranged to meet her offline right in front of all her fans and her top supporter!"

...

Lili watched the scrolling comments, putting on a troubled expression. She said to her fans, "If I had known there was a mega-whale like Prince Heng in Xi Xi’s stream, I wouldn’t have made this bet with her."

"But I already promised Xi Xi. I can’t go back on my word, can I?"

As Lili’s good friend, Yaya saw her expression and instantly understood what she was doing. She played along, "Guys, Xi Xi has a mega-whale like Prince Heng on her side. We’re probably going to lose, so please don’t waste your gifts later."

"Lili and I are ready to accept our loss. We’ll end the stream right after the PK."

"We’ll take the last high-speed train to Zhonghai today. After we fulfill the terms of the bet, we’ll immediately charter a car and rush back to Hang City overnight. You guys don’t need to worry."

Her pure, lovely face and pitiful demeanor instantly stirred the protective instincts of countless men in the chat.

"Fight her!"

"I refuse to believe that Prince Heng guy can spam another two hundred Carnivals!"

Just as Yaya said this, a Level 70 whale suddenly appeared and sent a banner comment.

"I don’t believe it either!"

"We won’t know who wins or loses until we fight!"

Another Level 68 whale followed right after with his own banner comment.

With two mega-whales taking the lead, the other fans were quickly riled up.

Lili and Yaya exchanged a look. Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently hyped, they said to Xi Xi, "Let’s get ready to start!"

Hearing this, Xi Xi didn’t waste any time and immediately sent the PK invitation.

Soon, the five-minute countdown began.

Gu Heng used the same strategy as before. As soon as the PK started, he lit up the exhibition hall for Xi Xi, quickly raising her score bar to over 150,000.

On Lili and Yaya’s side, however, because the two had successfully hyped up the atmosphere beforehand, and with over seven thousand people in their stream, their score began to climb at a ferocious pace.

In just a few dozen seconds, their score shot past 600,000.

"The animation for this Gilded Rose is actually pretty nice."

After lighting up all of Xi Xi’s exhibition halls, Gu Heng looked at a new gift he had just unlocked in his gift inventory and casually sent one.

A Gilded Rose, worth 16,666 diamonds, naturally came with an exquisite animation.

[Prince Heng] sent Gilded Rose ×10;

[Prince Heng] sent Gilded Rose ×39;

[Prince Heng] sent Gilded Rose ×99.

He was fast, thanks to the hand speed honed over eighteen years of being single.

In just a single minute, he sent out 100 Gilded Roses.

At the same time, Xi Xi’s score reached 1.8 million.

After sending 100 Gilded Roses, Gu Heng paused for a moment.

At this point, Lili and Yaya’s score bar had just passed one million.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Gu Heng followed the PK link into Princess Lili’s stream.

Then, in an incredibly audacious move, Gu Heng sent a banner comment: "Should I send a car to pick you guys up from Hongqiao Station later?"

As Gu Heng’s comment scrolled across the screen, the whales and fans in Princess Lili’s stream nearly died of anger.

So arrogant!

An act like that was a blatant show of disrespect!

Furthermore, Gu Heng’s comment made these whales and fans feel like he was stealing their girls right out from under their noses.

’Our Lili and Yaya need *you* to send a car for them?’

’What are you planning to do after picking up our Lili and Yaya?’

’His intentions are despicable!’

After Gu Heng’s comment appeared, the whales in Princess Lili’s stream went into a frenzy, as if they’d been shot up with adrenaline. Animations for all sorts of expensive gifts began flashing one after another.

The Level 70 whale even sent 20 Carnivals in a row.

In the blink of an eye, they had taken the lead, their score reaching over 2.7 million.

After surpassing Xi Xi’s score by nearly 1 million, the furious whales gradually slowed their assault.

"The same water bottle that costs 50 bucks here, I got for 45."

But just then, Gu Heng sent another banner comment.

The content of this one, however, left many people in Princess Lili’s stream completely baffled, unable to understand what Gu Heng meant.

Level 70 Whale: "?"

Gu Heng: "So you guys are the 10% off water bottles, huh?"

As this banner comment from Gu Heng appeared, Lili and Yaya, who were sitting in front of the camera, suddenly got a strange look on their faces. It took all their willpower to keep the corners of their mouths from twitching into a smile.

In response, the chat exploded once again.

"ARGH, I’m so mad!"

"This Prince Heng is such a show-off. Why not just call himself the King of Douchebags?"

"He’s unbelievably arrogant. Let’s see how he’ll save face when he loses!"

"LMAO, this Prince Heng guy is so bizarre!"

"Judging from those two lines, this Prince Heng probably isn’t very old!"

"Look how pissed off our Level 70 whale is! He’s started spamming Carnivals again!"

...

After Gu Heng’s two comments appeared, the high-level whales in Princess Lili’s stream started frantically sending gifts again, with even more intensity than before.

However, just then, something happened that made everyone’s jaws drop.

While the PK was still going on, Gu Heng actually started spamming Carnivals in Princess Lili’s stream too.

[Prince Heng] sent Carnival ×40

Because Gu Heng was sending Carnivals so quickly, the TikTok system automatically put his gift notifications at the very top, pushing the Level 70 whale’s notifications down below his.

Everyone who saw this was completely stunned.

Nearby, Xi Xi was watching Princess Lili’s stream on Yaya’s phone screen.

When she saw Gu Heng send 40 Carnivals to Princess Lili, she couldn’t help but shoot a look in his direction.

Her eyes seemed to say:

’Hey!’

’Did you send those to the wrong person?!’

’That’s the other team’s stream!’

’We’re in the middle of a battle! Why are you funding the enemy?!’

Gu Heng ignored Xi Xi’s pleading look.

Compared to Xi Xi and Yaya, Lili and Yaya were clearly more to Gu Heng’s taste.

One had an Innate Charm Sacred Body, the other an Innate Contrast Sacred Body.

’There are quite a few girls who are my type tonight...’

Gu Heng looked at Lili and Yaya on the screen, then at Yangyang and the twin sisters beside him, and finally thought of Bingbing, who was on her way over.

’It seems like no matter who I choose, I’ll have regrets!’

’Huh?’

’Why do I have to choose?’

’Can’t I just have them all?’

As this thought arose in his mind, Gu Heng felt his heart begin to beat faster. Clearly, the mental image was a bit too explosive, too stimulating.

Gu Heng’s thoughts raced. Seeing that there were less than two minutes left, he decided it was about time to head back to Xi Xi’s stream and end the match.

Before leaving, Gu Heng tossed out one last banner comment: "See you in a bit~"

As the comment slowly scrolled past from the right side of the screen, the [Prince Heng] avatar, which had been in the top ranks of the viewer list, disappeared from Princess Lili’s stream.

At the same time, a magnificent TikTok system notification appeared at the very top of their stream: [Prince Heng has sent a Carnival in Xi Xi’s stream]...
