A pretty live streamer beckons, and a lewd male protagonist hooks her up.

Bubble Fish thought Xi Xi was spineless, getting scared to tears by such a small matter.

She curled her lip in disdain, but before she could utter a sarcastic remark, an official warning suddenly popped up in the center of the screen.

Bubble Fish paused, and after seeing the contents, his eyes slowly widened, and his hand holding the backup phone trembled slightly.

[Starlight Official: Bubble Fish, after investigation, it has been verified that you have repeatedly violated regulations during live stream PKs, failed to fulfill your obligation to punish violations, and are suspected of inducing fans to vote in bulk, hiring online trolls to spread rumors, and leading bullying activities. This platform orders you to rectify these issues within 12 hours. Otherwise, we reserve the right to take coercive measures, including but not limited to permanently banning your account, recovering gift money, and reporting the matter to the police.]

"You received it too?"

Bubble Fish's face lost its color, and it remained silent.

Xi Xi's heart sank. If even a streamer like Bubble Fish with tens of thousands of followers had been warned, then she was probably doomed!

Wen Ruan had no idea what was going on. Some fans in the public chat said they had received an announcement from the platform. Wen Ruan even checked her own backend messages, but there was nothing there.

Well, she's always left out of the platform announcements, that's really unfair to Mimi!

Xi Xi lowered her head, not daring to look Wen Ruan in the eye, and didn't even want to look at the public chat: "Little Cake, we lost. I'll send you a video apology after the broadcast, and then I'll quit the internet."

It's true that she colluded with Bubblefish to hire online trolls to spread rumors. If the platform really reports it to the police, based on the current number of reposts, she will be detained for at least five days.

Xi Xi was incredibly grateful that neither she nor Bubble Fish were streamers with hundreds of thousands of followers.

If you honestly quit the internet at this point, you can at least leave yourself a way out.

Once the storm passes, they can make a comeback!

Bubble Fish pursed her lips, and even though she was unwilling, she quietly echoed, "I will also post an apology video, this account..."

"I will delete the account within a week of the video being posted."

[It's just a competition, is it really necessary to go this far?]

[The other side is really bullying us! They won just because of a few big spenders, they could have just posted an apology video, why are they threatening my fish to quit the internet!]

There's definitely something fishy going on!

[Simp: Heh, I don't believe you'd still have this "kind" face if our little cake lost.]

[I love cilantro (rising version): If you keep making noise, I'll kick you!]

After listening to their words, Wen Ruan shook her head: "The punishment is determined by the winner, not by you."

Bubble Fish and Xi Xi's faces turned even paler.

They've been bullying Little Cake like this, and now they've been caught red-handed. They're probably going to be badly hurt, if not killed!

Wen Ruan thought for a moment, then smiled mischievously, revealing two sharp teeth. "Hmm... I'll punish you all by making you post an apology video, not just for me, but also for the fans who got scolded for speaking up for me. This is a must!"

Since Bubble Fish and Xi Xi had just made three requests to Wen Ruan, and she couldn't think of any more, she decided to make one more.

"Secondly, you two need to quit the internet..."

Xi Xi and Bubble Fish both thought to themselves, "Just as I thought," but when they heard Wen Ruan's next words, they both froze on the spot.

"I'll just disconnect from the internet for a week."

Bubble Fish looked up, its face full of surprise: "You don't want us to permanently leave the internet?"

Why make it permanent?

Wen Ruan was puzzled, so she propped herself up on the stool and lifted her buttocks slightly to move around.

My butt is killing me from sitting for so long every day while live streaming!

She sighed and said helplessly, "We're all just working people. Earning money isn't easy these days. There's no need to gamble with our jobs for these kinds of things."

And cats are supposed to accumulate good karma.

She had finally gained wisdom and become a spirit, and she had finally become a human. She didn't want to diminish the blessings she had accumulated because of other people's mistakes!

Looking at Wen Ruan's innocent appearance, Bubble Fish felt as if something inside her had cracked open.

From the moment she joined Xingmang Live, she has maintained her cute and innocent persona every single day.

But actually, she prefers a white T-shirt to a cake dress.

Rather than acting cute or charming, she prefers to stay at home, keeping a cold face and doing nothing.

Just because it's more marketable and more likely to win over the older brother, Bubble Fish "welded" the cake dress to her body, always keeping a trained smile on her lips.

Regardless, she still felt a little awkward.

It felt unnatural, hypocritical, and even made me feel uncomfortable all over.

So when Bubblefish first saw the little cake, the seed of hatred was already planted in its heart.

Because the little cake's seemingly genuine appearance constantly reminded Bubble Fish that she was just a carefully decorated doll created to cater to the market.

What people like is just the act she puts on.

But why is it that, despite the cakes being so ugly and the cakes being completely useless, yet always putting on an understanding act, everyone can easily win their favor...?

Bubble Fish's lips tightened into a straight line, her eyes reddened, and she snapped at Wen Ruan, "I don't need your pity!"

"A loss is a loss. Xingmang isn't the only platform where you can make money through live streaming. Don't think I can't survive without Xingmang. Whether I make money or not is none of your business, you idiot!"

"I......"

Wen Ruan was stunned by the shouting.

Bubble Fish glanced at her one last time, its eyes filled with emotions Wen Ruan couldn't decipher: "Little Cake, you'd better mind your own business. Don't be so open with everyone, or you'll regret it later!"

"If I find out, I'll definitely come over and laugh at you!"

After saying that, she voluntarily ended her mic. The next day, she posted an apology video on Xingmang and actually left the platform.

Xi Xi accepted the punishment set by Wen Ruan and voluntarily turned off the microphone.

[Little Cake's Dog: Baby, pat me, don't be sad, all the bad guys have been chased away!]

Why did Bubble Fish seem to be concerned about the little cake just now?

[It's probably just my imagination. She's such a good actress; who knows what she's really up to?]

[Mysterious Person 9973: Still broadcasting?]

Wen Ruan shook her head. She was tired, not physically, but mentally.

Although I won this battle, I still feel a bit strange.

[Simp: Then baby should get some rest!]

"Um."

"I'll end the broadcast now, goodnight everyone."

Wen Ruan smiled and still waited until most people left before ending the broadcast, but there were fewer sweet conversations and actions than before.

She withdrew 10,000 yuan as usual, then privately messaged someone who loves cilantro:

"Cilantro, I'll return the money to you, that way you won't get beaten up when you get home."

She only has this much money right now. Xiangcai Cai spent over 30,000 yuan today, and Wen Ruan was thinking about whether she could write an IOU first and then pay it all back in a few days.

[Loves cilantro (Rising Version): ?]

Wen Ruan was afraid that Xiang Cai Cai would be too shy to speak up, so she typed a few words in a domineering CEO style:

Send me your card number, and I'll transfer the money to you.

[Loves cilantro: ???]
