[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Time flies like an arrow, and the night passed quickly.

As dawn broke, Wei Chaoyan, who had finally managed to sleep in, stretched and reluctantly got out of bed.

Thinking that she hadn't had any nightmares all night and had actually slept well, Wei Chaoyan praised 001 loudly in her heart.

"Ding, you flatter me, host. One night of calming and nourishing, you are rewarded with 300,000 points of favor!" The next second, 001's emotionless mechanical voice rang in Wei Chaoyan's mind.

"Huh?!" Wei Chaoyan's expression was somewhat distorted. She wanted to protest 001's robbery, but remembering that she had slept well last night and was in good spirits, unlike the usual listless state of someone who had been frightened, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Peeking out the window at the dawn light, she estimated it was around 7:45 AM, getting late. Before the live stream started, Wei Chaoyan silently chanted in her mind, "001 Calculate my current favorite points in the system!"

"bite,……"

"Wait! You don't need to go through the detailed settlement process, just tell me the final result!"

"Ding, a request from the streamer has been received. The settlement process is in progress. Please wait a moment, Auntie Streamer!"

"Ding, settlement successful! Now reporting the streamer's remaining favor points: The streamer's last balance of favor points was 2,313,303,699 points. As of yesterday, a total of 80 billion favor points have been added. Yesterday's empathy mode consumed 3.4 billion favor points, and helping the streamer avoid the fatal blow from the vengeful beast consumed 100 million favor points. After deducting the 300,000 favor points for calming the mind and nourishing the body, the current balance of favor points is 78,813,003,699 points."

"Hmm, these data aren't bad at all!" Wei Chaoyan said thoughtfully, stroking her chin.

"Ahem, 001, do I currently have enough points of affection to sustain one use of the holographic learning space?"

"Ding..." 001 was silent for a moment before continuing to reply: "According to the number of people the streamer previously envisioned, the space can be maintained for one session, but there won't be many love points left after that!"

"Oh!" Wei Chaoyan waved her hand dismissively, as if she had expected this. "It's alright. Favor points are earned to be spent. If you run out, you can earn more! But, is there enough remaining favor points to maintain the system's daily operation?"

"Ding!" 001 did a quick calculation, "It can maintain basic system operation for three days!"

"Hmm, that's enough!" Wei Chaoyan stretched lazily again, mumbling a little, "Anyway, my live stream is basically open 24/7 every day. Even if the data isn't good on a certain day, I can still get the basic 'likes' points, so I'm not worried about not having enough points to keep the system running. My only worry is that on the day I enter the learning space, the live stream won't be open and I won't have enough points to keep it running. Now, after deducting the points I have left, I have enough points for the system to use for three days, so I have nothing to worry about!"

"Ding, does the streamer need to calculate the current number of followers and system points?"

"Huh? Oh! No need, no need!"

Wei Chaoyan waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "It's getting late. I need to start my live stream quickly and go to the lobby for breakfast. I guess Aunt Yan and the others have already eaten and are just waiting for me. As for the settlement, we can talk about it after the live stream tonight. Anyway, the numbers are there and they're not going to grow legs and run away!"

"..." 001 was speechless and then fell silent.

Ignoring 001's silence, Wei Chaoyan quickly washed and tidied herself up with the still-warm water in the basin. She blinked and praised Ye Lang for his thoughtful and meticulous arrangements. The water was still warm on this cold winter morning, which meant that the water delivery person must come in and change it every now and then to ensure that she could have warm water whenever she woke up.

However, this barrage of praise did not slow down Wei Chaoyan's speed in starting her live stream.

As Wei Chaoyan announced "Start the live stream," live streams quietly lit up on the computers, mobile phones, and other communication devices of countless people across China.

"Hi everyone, good morning! Today's live stream is starting! Just so you know, nothing big is happening in today's live stream, it'll probably just be some travel stuff. If you're not interested, you can end the stream and go do your own thing!" Wei Chaoyan said with a smile to the live stream audience.

"morning……"

"Yawn, you look great, host!"

"Gah? Oh! Cicada, cicada..."

……

After the live stream started, netizens entered the live stream one after another, and responded to Wei Chaoyan with scattered bullet comments on the public screen!

Seeing the scattered responses in the live stream, Wei Chaoyan knew that most netizens had not yet recovered from yesterday's thrills and excitement, so she didn't say anything more. She greeted them and left the live stream. She walked out of the room and beckoned to the maid who came to change the hot water, asking her to take her to the kitchen to eat.

“There’s no need for that, young lady!” The maid in green bowed respectfully. “The gentlemen are waiting for you in the main hall. You may go there first! Breakfast will be served to you from the kitchen soon!”

Wei Chaoyan thought about it and agreed. She couldn't keep Yan Niangzi and the others waiting for her. It wouldn't be too late to go to the main hall to greet them before having breakfast.

With this thought in mind, Wei Chaoyan readily followed the green-clad maid toward the main hall.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, Wei Chaoyan greeted Yan Niangzi and the others sitting there with a smile.

Seeing that Wei Chaoyan's complexion was rosy and her brows still showed some lingering fear, but her spirits were clearly good, Madam Yan knew that she had rested well last night. She assumed that the calming soup she had forced down before bed had worked well, and gave Ye Lang, who was in the third seat from the bottom right, an approving look.

He then affectionately tapped Wei Chaoyan's forehead in the air and scolded, "Lazy girl, you're up so late! Come and sit down quickly, breakfast will be sent from the kitchen soon. Ye Lang specially asked the kitchen to save it for you!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Ye." Wei Chaoyan turned to Ye Lang and bowed gratefully.

"No need, no need, this is all my duty, how dare I accept your thanks, young lady?" Ye Lang hurriedly stood up and said to Lady Yan, who was sitting at the head of the table, with a somewhat fearful expression.

"Alright, Ye Lang, sit down! There's nothing to be afraid of. Since you've done something satisfactory, it's only right that you receive her thanks!" Madam Yan said decisively.

"Yan girl, you should sit down quickly too!" He then turned to Wei Chaoyan and urged her to take her seat.

Wei Chaoyan obediently walked to the fourth empty seat on the left of Lady Yan and sat down. The moment his bottom touched the stool, he heard Lady Yan speak.

"Yan girl, we'll return to town tomorrow morning. Rest in your room today if you have anything to do. If you need anything, just tell the servants in the courtyard! Don't leave the courtyard alone. This area is too desolate and close to a mass grave; there are many evil spirits and walking corpses here, it's quite dangerous!"

Wei Chaoyan nodded silently to indicate that she understood.

After instructing Wei Chaoyan, Lady Yan turned to Yan Qing and Ye Lang, and calmly ordered, "Yan Qing, quickly pass this intelligence report on to His Majesty. I have already compiled all of yesterday's events and written them down in this report!"

"it is good!"

"Ye Lang, you will assist Zheng Dong and the others in coordinating all the people remaining at the stronghold to go to Liushan (the name of the mountain range that Wei Chaoyan and the others went to yesterday, supposedly named by Wei's father to mean keeping his beloved wife Li Xiangqing). Start from the foot of the mountain and investigate the surrounding environment inch by inch for any abnormalities! Be careful not to have too few people or be too scattered, and don't go too deep. We don't know what kind of anomaly has occurred in the forest, and the current number of people is not enough to support you going too deep! Remember! Safety first! We'll talk about everything else when the main force arrives!"

"Here!"

“In ancient times, you were the fastest traveler. You will travel to the nearest prefectural city, purchase a batch of new goods according to the process of the cloth shop, and escort them back to Yiling the day after tomorrow!”

"Here!"

"Ye Lang, this stronghold has another important purpose and cannot be dismantled. You need to pay more attention to the security and defense of the area around the stronghold!"

"Yes, sir!" Ye Lang stood up and bowed in reply.

……

Seeing Lady Yan sitting at the head of the table, arranging everything in an orderly manner, Wei Chaoyan remained as quiet as a chicken, burying her head in her rice without offering any opinion! Indeed, just as Lady Yan was speaking and making arrangements, a maid in a light lotus-root-colored dress entered silently, placed a food box in front of Wei Chaoyan, curtsied, and left the main hall without making a sound.

After Wei Chaoyan had finished showing off the dishes in the food box, Madam Yan had already arranged everything. She glanced at Wei Chaoyan, who was now cleaning up the dishes and putting them back in the food box after she had finished eating, and tapped the table with her slender white fingers, saying, "In that case, everyone, just do as instructed! Yan girl, is there anything else? If not, go back to your room and rest. Auntie has to go and get busy!"

"Okay, Aunt Yan, you and Uncle Qing go ahead with your work. I'll go back to my room with that lady in green! I'll talk to her directly if anything happens, so don't worry about me!" Wei Chaoyan raised her hand and waved it obediently, indicating that she would behave.

Seeing this, Madam Yan didn't waste any words. She nodded slightly, then turned and left the main hall in a flurry with Yan Qing and the others.

Soon, only Ye Lang and Wei Chaoyan remained in the main hall. Wei Chaoyan blinked and said, "Uncle Ye, you can go back to your work too!" Turning her head, she saw the maid in the dark lotus-colored dress standing respectfully outside the door. Her eyes lit up and she called out, "Hey, you sister in the dark lotus-colored dress, could you please take this food box back to the kitchen for me, and show me the way? Um, I really can't remember the way back to my room." She scratched the back of her head somewhat awkwardly.

Upon hearing the greeting, a maid in a deep lotus-root-colored dress entered respectfully, bowed, and said, "Please come with me, young lady!"

"Haha, I'm coming right now! Uncle Ye, I'm off!"

As soon as Wei Chaoyan picked up the food box, she sprang to her feet, waved goodbye to Ye Lang, and scurried off to the maid.

A short while later, Wei Chaoyan left the main hall, led by a maid in a deep lotus-colored dress. Ye Lang glanced at the now empty main hall, then also left to attend to his own business.
