Audience filled with anticipation—

Cheng Yu opened his mouth, always finding the last few words somewhat difficult to utter.

”What are you going to do?”

”Just say it already, will you?”

”Ah Da, if you keep dilly-dallying, just come out and face death!”

Cheng Yu took a deep breath: ”Ladies and gentlemen, dear patrons, hello everyone. I, Ah Da, have been live streaming for quite a while, always keeping my word. Some things I said, I must do. Some promises I made, I must fulfill. So—today, in front of everyone—I will live stream in drag!”

Hiss—

”Beast!”

”Beast!”

”Beast!”

As soon as Cheng Yu spoke, the screen was filled with the word ”beast”!

So daring.

Really so daring!

For the sake of live streaming, he’s really throwing away all shame.

If this isn’t acting beastly, what is?

”Ah Da, for the sake of a meal, are you tearing off your face?”

”Ah Da, stop earning your bread, I’ll support you.”

”Ah Da, think thrice!”

”Ah Da, please have some self-respect!”

...

Ignoring the snowstorm-like barrage of comments, Cheng Yu finished speaking, then with a face filled with resignation, he opened a bag containing a set of women’s clothing. Cheng Yu, a single dog, a noble single dog, naturally didn’t have women’s clothing at home. Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Cheng Yu had no choice but to borrow a maid uniform from his robotic maid....

Audience: ”!!!”

Cheng Yu looked around and said: ”Ladies and gentlemen, dear patrons, I, Ah Da, am off...”

Then—

The screen went black.

After a short while, when the screen slowly lit up again, what came into view was—a nearly two-meter-tall, robust and handsome man, squeezed into a maid uniform that appeared far too small for his stature. Lace frills adorned his waist, and a pair of black stockings stretched over his long, straight legs, with leg hair faintly visible... This sight... The audience felt as if their eyes were about to be gouged out!

”Ah Da! You’ve gone mad!”

”Ah Da, don’t harm me!”

”Ah Da, do not injure me!”

”Ah Da, retreat quickly!”

”Ah... my life is over...”

”Everyone, run! Your life is precious...”

”Warning of high-energy ahead, run!”

”Help! Police, save me!”

”Selling quick heart-saving pills now, 100 credit points each, only 100, all for 100...”

Cheng Yu: ”...”

Black: ”!!! Finished!”

At this moment, even Black and his henchmen could not bear it anymore, swiftly seizing the opportunity to retreat...

The audience unanimously said: ”Ah Da, go change your clothes quickly, and let’s pretend nothing happened.”

Cheng Yu’s face showed a moment of hesitation...

He had anticipated the audience’s reaction, but retreating now would not amass much sensation; what if the mysterious Master didn’t see it, or wasn’t satisfied?

The audience advised: ”Ah Da! Don’t be obstinate!”

Cheng Yu was indecisive.

The audience urged again: ”Ah Da, there’s no end to suffering, turn back and you’ll find the shore—”

Cheng Yu clenched his teeth; having worn it already, what more was there to fear? To capture the Master’s attention, to gain the Master’s favor, what was it to him, Cheng Yu, to lose face just this once?

The audience saw Cheng Yu’s expression change from hesitant to resolute... and realizing something, they began to panic: ”Ah Da! Please, be a person!”

Cheng Yu, looking at the frantic audience, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

Although he had lost a lot of face, he had successfully dragged the patrons along with him in suffering.

Worth it!

And again—

This is all to please the Master; everything has meaning.

Worth it!

”Cough cough...”

Cheng Yu cleared his throat, facing the audience, and said solemnly: ”I, Ah Da, known online as ’Ah Da Takes You Shopping on Taobao’, am the very first man in the live streaming world to do a cross-dressing stream. I’m not ashamed; instead, I take pride in it! Because—”

The audience gasped: ”Animal, shut your mouth!”

Cheng Yu watched the audience’s reaction, a slight smile on his lips: ”Because—I want to honor a promise.”

Audience: ”You honor a promise and make us suffer for what?”

Nowadays, the live-streaming world is full of oddities and chaotic spectacles, but really no man has live-streamed in drag before. This maid uniform was something Cheng Yu had blurted out in a thoughtless oath during a previous live stream, and he kept mentioning it but never acted on it.

Today’s outrageous move—

Almost made the audience gouge out their eyes.

Cheng Yu looked around, his expression grave: ”I, Ah Da, have been blind, mistaking a pearl for a fish’s eye—utterly inexcusable. My mistake has caused a great negative impact, unforgivable! Hereby, I want to publicly apologize to the Green Glaze Master: I’m sorry! I was blind.”

Audience: ”???”

Green Glaze Master?

Where did this Master pop up from?

What Master?

Mecha Master?

Soul Device Master?

Agricultural Master?

...

While the audience was confused, Cheng Yu began to explain, saying: ”I, Ah Da, unintentionally entered the store opened by Green Glaze Master on the night of August 21st, Star Calendar year 1307, and found 9 Grass Seed Fruit necklaces. But I, blind indeed, mistook a pendant worth 1 million for 1000 credit points. I’ve made such a serious mistake; I’m simply not human! I, Ah Da, don’t deserve to be human, so—I announce: from now on, I am Green Glaze Master’s henchman, ready to serve before and after the saddle, at all costs!”

Audience: ”!!!!”

What the heck?

One thing after another...

It completely baffled the audience.

Especially the brawny man dressed in a maid uniform with a lace apron tied at the waist and a bow on his head, using a remorseful look as if he’s a pathetic sinner confessing, saying such shameless words—

It almost made the audience spit blood!

So much so, that no one really heard clearly what Cheng Yu said.

Also—

The Grass Seed Fruit Pendant?

There seems to be such an incident.

Cheng Yu continued to reflect on himself bitterly: ”After deep reflection, I have decided to polish my eyes and no longer blindly shop on Taobao or estimate values wrongly. My ability is unworthy of the name ’Tao Xiaobao’...”

Audience: ”What?”

The audience recovered their senses and started leaving messages: ”Ah Da, you said a lot but still haven’t explained clearly what’s going on?”

Cheng Yu: ”From now on, Ah Da is just Ah Da, Tao Xiaobao will no longer exist in this world.”

Audience: ”???”

Spit blood—

Actually, Cheng Yu previously did not openly reveal the news that the Grass Seed Fruit was a Soul Device because he was hoping to go unnoticed, connect with the Master first, and strive to become the adored ’Little Cutie’ of the Master... but now it’s clear this little scheme is impossible. Moreover, Cheng Yu initially thought the mysterious Master was a solitary figure indifferent to fame and fortune, running such a small store with the intention to avoid drawing attention...

But—

After some enlightening by the Blacks, Cheng Yu became obsessed with the misbelief that it was his mistake of stating a 1 million Soul Device as worth only 1000, which caused the Master to be upset...

Therefore, he must now do something to restore the Master’s reputation! To generate momentum for the Master...

Watching the number of viewers in the live stream climb higher and higher, the reach getting broader—

1.5 million—

million—

million—

million—

million—

million—

Cheng Yu’s mouth curved into a pleased smile:

[The Master must be happy seeing this, right?]
