Things had come to this point.
Crushing Director Wang’s head was clearly unrealistic.
Crushing the heads of these 8 million internet users was even more unrealistic.
Qi Zhuoyu stared at the camera for a few seconds.
He lowered his head again, unpaused the video he had just paused, and then calmly watched it for the 32nd time.
Barrage:
“?”
“? The unfilial son’s reaction is not what I imagined.”
“As expected of you, refreshing the lower limit of what your father thinks of you by being so shameless!”
“Shameless?” Qi Zhuoyu switched to the livestream room, just in time to see this comment. “How is watching your own wife called shameless? Watching someone else’s wife is what’s shameless.”
Demon King vs Internet Users!
First Blood!
Qi Zhuoyu’s voice was nonchalant. “Oh. I forgot, you guys don’t have wives.”
After all, one can’t live just for face.
Not even watching his wife’s confession anymore.
Demon King vs Internet Users!
Double Kill!
Barrage:
“…”
“My fists are really clenched now.”
“Is it so great to have such a cute wife?? Damn it, it really is great (shedding tears of envy)”
Qi Zhuoyu couldn’t be bothered to look at the barrage, and switched the display screen.
The barrage started again:
“???”
“? You just praised how much you love your wife?? And then you went to sleep?”
“Only 31 times? The double-door refrigerator next door has already reached 51!”
“Everyone, type #QiZhuoyuIsUseless# in the public chat! If I had such a cute wife I’d watch it 10,000 times in one go!”
Qi Zhuoyu glanced at it.
He sneered.
“Why should I watch my wife on a display screen like you guys?”
“I’m not like you. Your wives are in display screens. My wife is right beside me.”
Barrage: “…”
Demon King vs Internet Users!
Triple Kill!
Killing people and their spirits.
The internet users were completely wiped out.
It had to be said.
Some people who could bully the entertainment industry for so many years didn’t have such a sharp tongue for nothing. jpg

Feng Xuan learned about Qi Zhuoyu’s mishap within an hour after it happened.
After coming to the mortal realm, he had developed a very bad habit of saying he was going to sleep, but actually lying in bed scrolling through Weibo.
The hot search #QiZhuoyuBoatFlipFish# was at number one, with a “Explosion” tag next to it.
In addition, as the first episode of “The One At My Home” finished airing,
All the guests were going all out to buy trending topics, occupying the top ten hot searches.
Not only that, but the discussion heat on various forums was also unprecedentedly high.
It could be said that it had achieved a truly breakout marriage reality show.
As the popularity increased, Feng Xuan also saw his and Qi Zhuoyu’s CP supertopic.
It was now ranked first on the list, with that difficult-to-pronounce CP name “Zhuomuniao”.
He had already said it sounded terrible!
Who came up with it anyway?
The number of followers of the supertopic had broken a million in just a few days.
The little bird baby who had been frequenting the internet for many days could now skillfully browse the supertopic.
There were pictures, texts, and video edits.
It had to be said, seeing everyone blessing them,
Whether sincere or not, Feng Xuan was quite happy to see it.
Suddenly he understood a bit why Qi Zhuoyu was so insistent on having mortals spread the story of their love. jpg
The most retweeted and liked post was a campus-style edit.
There were very few videos showing Feng Xuan’s face, mostly relying on various hand and back doubles to complete. But the fan who edited it was highly skilled, making it very smooth. If Feng Xuan didn’t know he had never acted in a drama, he would have really thought he and Qi Zhuoyu had such a scene!
Moreover, this campus edit was quite R-rated.
With these conditions, fans had actually managed to edit a steamy scene.
Although he had done all sorts of intimate things with Qi Zhuoyu…
But when he saw the steamy scene appear, Feng Xuan still timidly burrowed under the covers.
However, just as he was about to put on headphones to secretly watch,
The bed sank down, and his waist was authoritatively pulled into an embrace.
“What are you doing behind Senior brother’s back?”
Feng Xuan instinctively turned off the display screen.
But it was already too late, Qi Zhuoyu snatched the phone, and then. “Oh.”
A very meaningful “Oh.”
The image was frozen on a dreamlike scene of intertwined fingers.
“I accidentally clicked on it,” Feng Xuan decided to quibble.
“Accidentally clicked right to the scene of you in bed with Senior brother, huh?” Qi Zhuoyu spoke.
He was an old hand in the entertainment industry.
He had seen at least 800 if not 1000 fan edits.
It was hard to guarantee that he hadn’t been involved in creating this supertopic. jpg
“We’re not in bed together, those aren’t even our hands,” Feng Xuan mumbled. “Besides, I wasn’t watching behind your back.”
“Who was just trying to hide under the covers to secretly watch? Planning to do something naughty?” Qi Zhuoyu raised an eyebrow.
“…No!”
“Why so fierce.” Qi Zhuoyu pinched his face. “Senior brother isn’t blaming you.”
“I just wanted to ask,” the man continued, “Can Senior brother join in? To do it together?”
…Please add the words “naughty things” at the end, thank you! Otherwise it sounds very strange!
Qi Zhuoyu was clearly a man of action.
He said he’d do it, and he did.
Having had the experience of messing up in front of the camera,
He was very foresighted and directly set up a barrier in the bedroom, blocking all outside prying.
Perhaps that fanmade edit from earlier had given Qi Zhuoyu some inspiration.
Feng Xuan felt as if he had fallen into a warm pool, the tiny teardrops hanging on his eyelashes blurring the scene before him. He unexpectedly felt a wave of spiritual energy, and when he came to his senses,
The room’s scene had transformed.
It became a classroom at Shangqing Academy.
Feng Xuan: !!
As a student who had taken classes here before,
This was much more stimulating than Qi Zhuoyu’s earlier verbal teasing.
Had the big devil now upgraded to including settings in his strange play?
When pressed against the desk, Feng Xuan clearly heard the sound of things being swept onto the floor.
Without realizing it, their outfits had also changed to the school uniforms they used to wear at Misty Immortal Mansion. Qi Zhuoyu’s illusion was very realistic, clearly utilizing the abilities of the nightmare beast.
So is this what you use an ancient demon beast’s powers for?
It felt like the child at home had been corrupted by adults. jpg
From the long corridor outside the classroom, he could even hear the voices of student cultivators discussing their studies and spells.
Feng Xuan was so nervous he almost stopped breathing, pushing at him. “Qi Zhuoyu! Don’t go too far…”
“How is this going too far?” Qi Zhuoyu didn’t stop his actions, “Wasn’t it Xiao Qi who watched the campus video first?”
Feng Xuan took a breath. “…How can that be the same?!”
“How is it not the same.” Qi Zhuoyu lowered his head, his peach blossom eyes reflecting only Feng Xuan’s image, his gaze deep. “I shouldn’t have raised you for those extra two years back then.”
Feng Xuan tilted his head back, exposing his fair and vulnerable neck.
Qi Zhuoyu bent down to bite it, almost dissatisfied. “I should have taken you when you were still in school.”

The air date for the second half of episode 1 of “The One At My Home” was set for next Saturday.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the broadcast. Like last time, the second half of episode 1 also had interactive livestreams with the guests.
The official announcement process was the same as before.
At 8 PM, the livestream rooms opened on time.
With the boost from the first half of the episode, the popularity only grew higher.
Seeing that their livestream was about to break 10 million viewers, Feng Xuan was startled. But Director Wang said through the earpiece that it wasn’t over yet – after the broadcast started and hit the trending topics, the number of viewers would increase even more.
Especially in the preview for the second half of episode 1…
The production team stirred things up by including in the preview the segment where Xu Qingming actively sought out Feng Xuan for a chat during Truth or Dare. They didn’t show Feng Xuan’s response, but Xu Qingming’s few sentences were blatantly catty and undisguisedly provocative.
So even before the show aired,
Fans were already tearing each other apart.
Add to that, Qi Zhuoyu’s anti-fans had a grudge against Xu Qingming’s fans from before.
Now, with old and new resentments combined, the heat was imaginable.
So today, Feng Xuan had trouble understanding the barrage in the livestream room.
Xu Qingming’s fans:
“Can’t we be reasonable? How is it Mingming’s fault that the production team maliciously edited?”
“Mingming just asked casually, is there a law saying you can’t ask questions on shows?”
“Besides, those are the game rules. If you don’t like it, go find the person who invented this game!”
And the CP fans who had inexplicably become invested recently:
“LOL. Did the game rules tell your brother to pry into other couples’ relationships?”
“If he’s so gossipy, why not give your brother the host resources from ‘Uncle Lao’?”
“What’s a thousand-year-old fox doing playing ‘Strange Tales’…”
“Am I the only one who thinks the Little Bird Baby is a bit silly? Encountering this level of green tea and not going gg?”
“It’s okay for us to criticize our own son sometimes, but you can’t criticize him, understand?”
“@QiZhuoyu, don’t worry, Father will help you scold them back for your wife later!”
You can’t blame the fans for thinking this way.
Because Feng Xuan’s appearance gave people the impression of a harmless little white flower.
Otherwise, when Qi Zhuoyu first met him at Misty Immortal Mansion back then,
He wouldn’t have been fooled by that pure and harmless face, leading to him being stunned by Feng Xuan’s shocking words until now.
But looking at the aggressive and catty Xu Qingming,
Then at the docile and quiet silly wife,
Help!
How could this not make a mother’s heart ache!
So when the actual episode aired,
The Little Bird’s internet wild moms (this stupid self-address that Feng Xuan still hadn’t accepted) were ready for battle.
Who knew that after Xu Qingming’s catty provocation, asking Feng Xuan what he thought about Qi Zhuoyu possibly developing real feelings from acting,
Their baby would sincerely reply: “That won’t happen. I believe Senior Brother’s taste shouldn’t be that bad.”
Although the production team didn’t add sound effects,
At this moment, everyone’s minds rang out with that familiar:
Little Bird vs Little Green Tea!
First Blood!
Xu Qingming laughed awkwardly: “Mr. Xiao Xuan is joking. How could Mr. Qi’s taste be bad?”
Little Bird nodded sincerely: “I think so too. After all, the facts are right before our eyes.”
The production team stirred things up by adding an animated arrow pointing at Feng Xuan’s face.
Little Bird vs Little Green Tea!
Double Kill!
Xu Qingming’s expression was already slipping. He asked one last question: “Isn’t Mr. Xiao Xuan curious at all about Mr. Qi’s rumors?”
One minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes.
