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

After some selection, Wei Chaoyan decided on the material, style, and contents of the memorial tablet at the coffin shop. After agreeing on a pick-up time with the shop owner, Wei Chaoyan hurriedly left the coffin shop with her younger brothers.

On the way back, I remembered that we didn't have much food left at home, so I turned back and headed towards the market.

Wei Chaoyan and her group strolled through the still bustling market in the afternoon, picking out the ingredients they wanted to buy. When they had bought almost everything, they realized it was getting late. Wei Chaoyan felt a bit lazy and didn't want to go back to start a fire and cook, so she decided to take them to a restaurant for a meal.

Wei Chaoyan found a restaurant with a clean interior, tidy tables and chairs, and many diners and went inside. As soon as she entered, a waiter with a snow-white towel draped over his shoulder greeted her warmly and said, "Please come in, sir. Are you here for a meal?"

Seeing Wei Chaoyan nod in agreement, the waiter smiled even more enthusiastically and said, "Sir, your group consists mostly of children. I recommend a seat towards the back. It's spacious and a bit out of the way, so we won't be passing through it when serving dishes or other guests coming and going. It won't disturb your meal. Plus, there's a window facing the street right across from it, so the lighting is perfect. What do you think, sir?"

Seeing that everything was as the waiter had said, Wei Chaoyan nodded in satisfaction, placed Qingyan on a seat against the wall, and had Wei Ying and Qi Ye sit on the chairs opposite her before sitting down herself. Then she said to the waiter, who was smiling and waiting at the table, "Thank you for your trouble, brother. Does this restaurant have any light and delicious dishes suitable for children?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled and said, "The food at my house is not just what I'm saying. It's clean, delicious, and there are many dishes with generous portions. Let me see, would you like a stir-fried potato shreds, a steamed egg custard, and a radish and meat soup?"

Wei Chaoyan glanced at Wei Ying and Qi Ye across the table, and seeing that neither of them had any further objections, she turned to the waiter with a smile and said, "Bring these dishes as you suggested, waiter. By the way, please don't put chili on the shredded potatoes, as one of us is taking medication and needs to avoid certain foods. Please bring the steamed egg custard and rice first, and make enough for three people."

"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go to the kitchen and let them know. You can try the flower tea on the table first. It's a special flower tea made by our restaurant owner. The tea is fragrant with flowers, mild and refreshing, and good for digestion. It's suitable for all ages." With that, the waiter quickly left.

Wei Chaoyan picked up the teapot on the table, checked it, and found the tea was at a suitable temperature. She then poured each of them a cup of flower tea, as instructed, and told them to drink it slowly. Seeing Qingyan steadily holding his teacup and enjoying his tea, Wei Chaoyan let him hold it himself. Seemingly thinking that the waiter would be serving the main dishes in a while, Wei Chaoyan asked Wei Ying and Qi Ye, "Would you like some snacks first? The main dishes won't be here for a bit."

Wei Ying and Qi Ye both shook their heads in tacit agreement to refuse, and listened intently to the loud gossip of the other diners in the restaurant, not wanting to eat any snacks.

Seeing that they refused, Wei Chaoyan didn't say anything. She picked up her teacup and focused her attention on the live stream, where she saw netizens flooding the chat with comments.

"Oh dear, no matter how many times I watch it, I still find the authentic ancient market scene by the host more appealing, unlike those TV dramas, which, no matter how hard they try to recreate the scene, still feel out of place."

"Yes, yes, this is just the remote town of Yiling. I wonder when the host will show us the serene and Zen-like Cloud Recesses, the magnificent and luxurious Jinlintai, the imposing Nightless City, the solemn and dignified Impure World, and the picturesque Lotus Pier?"

"Huh?! Now that you mention it, I want to watch it too. The scenery shown in the TV series is already amazing, I wonder if the real thing will be even more breathtaking!"

"One person wrote a letter in blood to the live streamer."

"Seconded."

"+1."

"+2."

"+3."

……

"+".

Seeing netizens spamming the chat with a black line on Wei Chaoyan's face, she couldn't help but complain in the live stream: "Are you guys trying to kill me because you think I'm too old? Or do you have some misunderstanding about me and think I'm some kind of Mary Sue reincarnation who can do whatever I want?!"

As they were chatting enthusiastically, some even came up with wildly imaginative ideas such as "I want to see how cute the young Lan brothers are," "I want to see if the rumored Director Nie was a soft, juicy little dumpling when he was young," and "I want to see if the handsome Wen Zong, who is known to be unattractive in the light, has an exceptionally handsome face." Wei Chaoyan's witty remarks brought them back to reality in an instant.

Oh?! We forgot that the streamer is just a nobody with a useless system, not some overpowered genius who dominates the world, commands the wind and rain, and rises to the pinnacle of life, looking down on everyone else!

The netizens thought to themselves with indifference.

Stunned by the netizens' shameless reaction, Wei Chaoyan laughed angrily: "Wake up! This is the real world, not an online novel! Can you talk logic?"

The netizens remained silent, then replied one after another: "Forget it, streamer, we all know you're a noob and a loser, we don't expect you to rise from the ashes and sing songs of triumph. Just rely on the country to raise your three younger brothers! We'll wait for them to build a beautiful empire for you, then you'll be a true overlord who can do whatever you want!"

Wei Chaoyan was speechless: "Thank you so much!" If Wei Ying and Qi Ye knew that you had such high expectations for them, they would probably burst into tears.

"Alright, stop with the nonsense." Wei Chaoyan said irritably, "Instead of wasting your time, you should do some research and help me figure out how to get rich!"

"Huh?" Netizens were shocked.

"What's there to be surprised about?" Wei Chaoyan said, feigning poverty, "Don't you even know how much money I've spent lately? There's only spending and no income. My purse is almost empty, and I'm about to be unable to support my family. If you don't help me think of a solution, will I have to watch the streamer beg for a living in ancient times?"

Wei Chaoyan's tearful plea for poverty evoked sympathy from many netizens, who offered to research and brainstorm ways to help her make money quickly, telling her not to rush and wait for their good news.

Seeing that most of the troublemaking netizens had finally been fooled away, Wei Chaoyan breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly pulled herself out of the live stream to focus on drinking tea and waiting for the waiter to serve the food. She was really afraid of those netizens. She didn't know how those big and small streamers who were doing so well on live streaming platforms in her previous life dealt with a bunch of netizens in their live streams.
