Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

The scene of Mi Ye being hugged by the little ghost was transmitted in real time to the homepage recommendation spot of the Thousand Star Adventure event main channel through the system's built-in live broadcast camera.

A girl in a pink ancient costume wearing a fox mask was tightly embraced by a tall beauty in a light green ancient costume, with a brightly lit ancient city and fireworks blooming in the sky in the background. The comments section exploded the moment the two embraced.

[Aaaaaaah, the opening screen is a critical hit!!!]

【Wait, I just clicked in, and I've already been given a piece of candy??】

[They've hugged! They've hugged! They've hugged!]

The girl in the pink dress is so small, the girl in the green dress is so tall, their body sizes are so mismatched!

The two people in the video were completely unaware of the overwhelming barrage of comments.

The little ghost held Miya for a while before finally letting go, taking a half step back, and wiping the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.

Her eyes were still a little red, but the smile had spread from the corners of her mouth to the depths of her eyes.

After recovering from the tight embrace, the little ghost seemed to realize that she had been a bit too excited, so she cleared her throat and gently patted Mi Ye on the head.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just so happy, really."

Miya's ahoge (cowlick) almost popped out from being patted on the head, and her face under the fox mask blushed slightly.

She looked down and kicked at the glowing moss in the cracks of the bluestone slab, unsure of what to say.

A subtle stillness hung in the air.

In the end, it was Miya who broke the silence first.

She raised her head, her short black hair swaying with the movement, her voice soft and gentle, with an added layer of clean-cut boyishness than usual.

"Then what should I call you? I can't keep calling you Little Ghost."

The little ghost tilted her head, and the silver stars on her white veil swayed gently with her movement.

She thought for a moment, and when she smiled, her eyes crinkled into crescents.

"Just call me Xiaoling. And what about you? What should I call you?"

Mi Ye blinked, her gaze sweeping down over the small flowers embroidered on her sleeve, when a sudden inspiration struck her.

"Xiao Hua, just call me Xiao Hua."

The little ghost muttered it to itself, and then its eyes began to sparkle.

"Little Flower, Flower Treasure—can I call you Flower Treasure? You're tiny, pink, and just as cute as you."

Miya's face flushed instantly. She opened her mouth as if to say that the name was a bit too intimate, but she swallowed the words back and simply lowered her head and nodded gently.

The little ghost laughed even harder.

Just then, a clear, crisp sound of a copper bell came from the direction of the mountaintop, growing louder as it approached.

Mi Ye looked up at the sound and saw a huge Kongming lantern slowly descending from between the carved railings and pavilions on the mountainside.

A broom hangs beneath a Kongming lantern, its handle wrapped with several strings of lanterns, casting a warm yellow glow in the night breeze.

A person was sitting on the side of the broom; it was none other than the host, Little Witch Honey, who had appeared in the countdown livestream for the server launch.

She changed her clothes, replacing her original modified cheongsam with a shorter robe that was more convenient for flying. Her short pink hair was blown back by the wind. Before the broom had even come to a complete stop, she swooped down toward Mi Ye, performing a beautiful tail-spinning hover in front of the two of them, the copper bells on the Kongming lantern making a crisp tinkling sound.

"Hello, player! I'm Honey, the official host of Thousand Star Adventure! Could you spare a few minutes for a short interview? The entire main channel is watching you!"

Miya was startled by the microphone suddenly shoved in front of her and instinctively took half a step back, her back gently bumping into the little ghost's arm.

The little ghost reached out and held her shoulder, the warmth of his hand passing through the thin fabric. Miya took a deep breath and nodded at the camera.

"What do you think of the game 'Stars Falling from the Sea'? What was your first impression of entering Lantern Street?"

After thinking for a moment, Miya decided to use a safer and more reliable approach.

"It's beautiful! The details are excellent, and the lighting effects on the lanterns are rendered very realistically!"

A row of comments scrolled by: "What kind of speech is this? Reading from a script? It's hilarious!"

Honey smiled and put the microphone away, then asked the second question.

"So—are you and your companions confident about this Thousand Star Adventure project? Are there any goals you want to achieve? Speak up!"

Upon hearing this, Miya suddenly felt less nervous.

So he raised his right hand towards the camera, made a peace sign, and the corners of his mouth under the fox mask turned up.

"We are undoubtedly number one."

Wow!

So arrogant?!

[Met a master]

[Comment experts, take a look! Whose costume is this?!]

Never mind, let's try this couple's flavor first.

The little ghost stood behind Mi Ye, looking down at the little guy who had just been too shy to look up. Suddenly, he flashed a peace sign at the millions of viewers and couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't know where Hua Bao's confidence came from, but Little Ghost felt that leaning against that confidence made her nervousness less and less.

So she took a step forward and stood next to Miya, raising her right hand to make a peace sign. Her veil was lifted by the night wind, and her tone was not as flamboyant as Miya's, but equally firm.

"I will do my best too."

Looking at the adorable couple in front of her, Honey's smile held a genuine hint of anticipation.

She turned the microphone back to the camera and announced loudly.

"It seems you two are very confident. Let's look forward to your performance in the Thousand Star Adventure!"

"Dear viewers, if you like them, don't forget to follow their live stream! See you at the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle) in a month!"

Then, it turned the broom around and flew back up to the mountaintop, the sound of the copper bell on the Kongming lantern gradually fading into the distance.

Honey's figure shrank to a single point of light in the sea of ​​lights on the mountaintop, and she'll probably be off interviewing the next player selected for the main channel's featured spot soon.

Meanwhile, the main channel's chat had completely shifted its focus during the time the two were being interviewed.

So who exactly are these two? Rakuna and Kotone?

[No way, Lena isn't that arrogant, and Qinyin couldn't possibly be that gentle.]

[It's possible this was staged; the Thousand Star Adventure event is clearly designed to generate hype in order to win.]

[I don't care, I'm shipping them first! This "Flower Ghost" couple is locked in for good!]

Who slept with whom?!

I think the ghost should be the one with the flower!

[You've already come up with a couple name?? You guys are so fast!]

【The name Hua Bao is so ambiguous, it makes me blush】

[Top and bottom roles have been determined]

Once Honey's broom had completely disappeared from sight, Mi Ye lowered her arm, which was making a peace sign, let out a long breath, and relaxed her shoulders.

The little ghost tilted its head to look at her and found that after Mi Ye relaxed, she turned back into that tiny, somewhat adorable little witch, as if she were a completely different person from the one who had just made a peace sign and said some harsh words to the camera.

"You looked so handsome just now."

Miya scratched the back of her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's alright... I was just telling the truth."

The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time. They didn't know what they were laughing at, but it was probably a mixture of their earlier tension and excitement that had turned into a light, carefree happiness.

After laughing, Mi Ye patted the wrinkles on her skirt, raised her hand and pointed upwards along the stone path to the cluster of brightly lit pavilions built against the mountain.

"Let's go, there's no rush, let's look around first."

The little ghost nodded, and the two of them walked along the bluestone path towards the hillside.

And under the hazy moonlight.

Their unique story begins here.
