Having heard what was said, Chu Feng fell in a spell of suspicion. He asked Zi Luan, who was beside him, and said, “Do you think this is the case?”

Even though the saintess Zi Luan was afraid of him, she was now nodding like a little chick pecking at rice and said, “Of course. Both man and god are infuriated, and the Heavens won’t tolerated this behaviour. You should be struck by lightning!”

Chu Feng casted a glance at her. Such resentment and indignation! She had already begun to curse at him even though he had only asked her a question.

As a result, in a relatively calm manner he commanded, “Sing.”

“Ah? I’m not going to sing!” The saintess Zi Luan wore a look of resentfulness. Last time it was really humiliating—he had scared her so much that she was almost in tears. She had reverted into her true form, and sung “I’m a little little bird” while she fled.

Was she expected to sing again now? She was slightly fearful!

Chu Feng glared at her ferociously, his attention fixed upon her. Then, he even kicked away Yuan Mo who was beside him and said, “You sing for me too!”

“Bah!” Yuan Mo was exasperated. How preposterous! He was a devil child level character of the generation. What face would he have left if he were forced to sing? He might as well just smash his head against the ground and die.

“Not singing? Then I’ll just beat you to death!” Chu Feng yelled. Then he steadfastly got in touch with those on the Origin Beast Platform. Whoever wanted to watch the livestream of Yuan Mo’s beating could pay to do so.

He would make Yuan Mo cooperate and present it with love and dedication to them!

“Hey brother, did we not already reach an agreement? I would present you with the analysis on the red spider lily energy form if you beat up Yuan Mo in front of everybody. One must conduct oneself with integrity!” Someone was not pleased.

At one side, Yuan Mo clenched his teeth. Unexpectedly this had ferreted out the true likeness of some people and he said, “Zhao Yuan, you bastard. I defeated you because you’re no match for me, yet you have the cheek to humiliate me!”

Beside him, Chu Feng corrected him and said, “You mustn’t call him a bastard. You should directly berate him as a Jun Tuo egg! For example, you should say it like this: Zhao Yuan, you Jun Tuo egg!” [1]

Throughout the starry skies, people were speechless with many not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Imperceptibly, Jun Tuo the ancient saint had been unjustly berated and he didn’t even know whom he had provoked. This time, he really hadn’t attacked or made things difficult for Chu Feng. It was clear that the native was the one attacking him.

Sure enough, the saint Jun Tuo was paying close attention to Chu Feng countless light years away. Now he wore a stupefied expression, which then darkened. He felt incredibly unlucky!

Yuan Mo was being corrected and warned. It was the first time he accepted that although this native was good for nothing and had tormented him, it couldn’t be denied that he certainly had guts. Time after time he had angered the saints, but he was still living as well as before, healthy and active.

Chu Feng said, “Has everyone made up their minds? Who wishes to watch the livestream? I will viciously beat Yuan Mo myself and the price is absolutely fair. Whoever wants to watch it should hurry up to register and pay up!”

In the peach forest, the air was suffused with rosy clouds and a fragrant scent. However, it was extremely quiet. No one was talking or drinking. They were all watching him upstage the main point of interest, acting as a human trafficker as well as a live-streaming fighter.

“Alright. First let’s have a trailer for the program. Watch carefully!” Chu Feng said. After that, he brandished his fist and smashed two slams into Yuan Mo’s left and right eye socket. Immediately his already bruised eyes grew even more insufferable, and he became a giant panda with dark circles.

“Ok, I’ll register. I’ll give you one thousand comic dollars if in a moment you batter Yuan Mo so much that even his mother can’t recognise him.”

“I’ll join too. You must crush Yuan Mo! A while ago this bastard snatched the golden grass I had found and heavily injured me. I couldn’t get out of bed for a whole month. Brother Chu Feng, I’ll put forth three thousand cosmic dollars. Don’t be soft-hearted, strike him ruthlessly for me!”

“I’ll offer you with five thousand cosmic dollars to break Yuan Mo’s nose and beat his head into a dog’s!”

Those on the Origin Beast Platform clamored and it wasn’t clear how many people were shouting. One after the other their demands grew even more savage.

Having heard what was said, Yuan Mo turned green in the face. Who were these people? Although he knew he had a lot of foes, he didn’t think they would be all over the place. Many were willing to throw money away to hurt him. The most detestable fact was that these enemies could watch it live!

Chu Feng was also astonished. He stared at Yuan Mo and said, “You certainly have terrible relations with others. You saw it right? I only sounded for a call of action and have met with a swarm of responders! Hey, what’s this I see? Someone has offered ten thousand cosmic dollars for me to hit you!”

Yuan Mo, enraged, said, “If the situation was reversed and it was me hitting you, it would be even more heated!”

Chu Feng refused to believe it—he had made an announcement on the Origin Beast Platform, and as a result someone had stated that they would invest a million dollars if they could see Yuan Mo beating Chu Feng up.

Chu Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this. Did they have to be so unrelentless? Which tyrant had he offended?

Then, he was suddenly indignant and said, “Damn you, Little Lotus Reveals a Small Corner. I will remember this gold account, and one day I’ll beat you up!”

After that, he turned to Yuan Mo and asked him, “Do you know this guy? Ah, no, this person is female. What’s her background? What connections does she have with you?!”

“That’s none of your business!” Yuan Mo was reluctant to talk and cursed at Chu Feng immediately once he started talking.

Without another word, Chu Feng stomped on his legs.

Then, he asked Zi Luan who this Little Lotus Reveals a Small Corner was. The result was rather unexpected—Zi Luan was emotionally moved. With her hands crossed, she looked at Little Lotus Reveals a Small Corner’s message.

“This is… my idol, a talented woman of the generation. Furthermore she is undefeated in a thousand battles, and has won consecutively against others!”

Zi Luan shouted excitedly.

To hell with this talented girl, Chu Feng cursed to himself. But he didn’t really understand why Zi Luan was this thrilled. Then he noticed that everyone around was rather excited too.

It was rare for a group of divine sons and saintesses to be like this. It seems like he really did encounter a celebrity!

“It’s only a person with a thousand kills. It doesn’t mean much!” Chu Feng muttered to himself.

“A person with a thousand kills? How vulgar! You don’t understand. Her radiance is incomparable!” Zi Luan said with excitement.

Chu Feng tapped her forehead violently, and said, “Why are you so moved? Be well-behaved. In a moment when I’m beating Yuan Mo, you’ll sing for me on the side!”

After that, he consulted the nearby Lan Shi and said, “Fairy Lan, how much is a ticket for a typical concert sold for?”

“From a few hundred to a few thousand. There are also special seats which can be sold for as much as several tens of thousand or even several hundred thousands of cosmic dollars. “Lan Shi replied with a smile. She was pretty and youthful. She wore a long blue dress which trailed on the ground, and it made her look ever more beautiful in this peach forest.

“So that’s the way!” Chu Feng had a plan in his mind. Then, he rapidly set up a subscription channel and quoted the price as two thousand dollars for one concert ticket.

The next moment, Chu Feng grew wide-eyed before his fingertips began to tremble slightly. The number of people joining in was too astonishing. A hundred people joined in, then a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand…fifty thousand people ended up coming in!

At this point, there was already an income of one billion cosmic dollars in his gold account. Was this a ransacking? He was practically stealing money.

Even Zi Luan was amazed and her eyes grew wide to be sure she hadn’t read it wrong.

“It seems that you are quite hated. How many people have you been acquainted with in your whole lifetime? Yet there are this many people who want me to beat you up. You have really failed to conduct yourself,” commented Chu Feng.

Yuan Mo was so angry he almost spat out blood. He had indeed offended many people, but it was impossible there were this many. He consoled himself by thinking that they must’ve been blindly following others, wanting to watch the fun.

“Start the stream, start the stream!” Someone yelled.

Chu Feng was very serious. He was incredibly dedicated to his work and said, “Since everyone is so cordial, then I will start the stream. I guarantee everyone’s wishes will be fulfilled!”

After that, he started to strike with his fist, violenting punching Yuan Mo, who was seething in anger and his head was almost burning. He was absolutely livid that he was being beaten and that it was being streamed live.

Throughout the process of this, the number of people joining in was still increasing. Chu Feng glimpsed and saw that almost a million people had joined, and it made him breathless.

In the future he mustn’t sell divine sons and saintesses. Instead, he should snatch them and beat them up brutally. It was worth more than anything else. While he was battering Yuan Mo he glanced at Zi Luan, thinking about whether he should add another stream of him pulverizing the saintess.

Immediately the hairs on Zi Luan’s body stood upright. Chu Feng’s gaze had given her a sense of horror.

Yuan Mo hollered. He was sullen and covered in blood.

In the peach forest, everyone was stupefied. They were watching the livestream free of charge while simultaneously staring at the number of people online with fixed eyes.

Only Lan Shi remained rather calm and collected. Looking at the millions of people online, her expression was undisturbed, like a magnificent sorcerer in the presence of a smaller one.

In the end, the count stabilized at around a million people. It didn’t increase any further as someone was pirating it outside. They were directly relaying the broadcast so there was no one coming in afterwards.

For a moment a tremulation reverberated throughout the Origin Beast Platform. There were all kinds of shocking headlines everywhere.

“Yuan Mo has been castigated by millions of evolvers!”

“Demon King Chu and Yuan Mo both love and hurt each other!”

Chu Feng didn’t take notice of these headlines. He was engrossed in calculating the ticket sales he made with a million people joining in at two thousand cosmic dollars per ticket. His breathing quickened. In such a short amount of time he had made two billion cosmic dollars?!

The impact was extraordinary. He decided that it was necessary to add an additional event!

“Everyone, there will be another event after this beating!” announced Chu Feng.

When Yuan Mo heard this, he was infuriated. He had broken bones and wounds all over his body now. Then, he immediately fainted.

“Zi Luan, what are you staring blankly for? Sing!” Chu Feng scowled at her, making her join in.

She was terrified after seeing Yuan Mo being beaten until near death. Because she suspected that Chu Feng would give her a go next—she was now shaking, but was utterly cooperative.

“I’m a little little bird…”

Meanwhile in the Immemorial Temple, her brother Zi Xiao was originally getting a kick from watching it. Suddenly he almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw that she became involved in the chaos, singing that song over there again.

“Haha… how come that proud lady is singing Little Little Bird again?”

Others on the Origin Beast Platform were also hooting and laughing at her.

“No, not this song. You think that’s appropriate? Here I am, god-like and magnificent. You should sing “Being Unequalled is So Lonesome” to match me!” Chu Feng admonished.

Everyone was speechless. Just how big and thick-skinned was his face?

Zi Luan summoned up the courage to sing until everything had finished.

Two billion cosmic dollars… Chu Feng was giddy with joy. He felt that if he continued on with this he could buy those exceptional secret volumes in the future. Therefore he decided to add another event.

However, Yuan Mo was at his last gasp and was nearly dead.

“Who has any life-saving medicine? I’m in a hurry to save someone, so I will be very grateful is someone could provide me with some,” said Chu Feng.

People thought he had found his conscience after all, but they were dumbfounded on discovering he wanted to add another event, and felt sorry for Yuan Mo.

Anyway, Chu Feng inquired further on the Origin Beast Platform. People didn’t really care about additional events, and they only wanted to watch new content.

On the Origin Beast Platform, someone contacted Chu Feng.

“Brother Chu, I’ll give you a suggestion. Aren’t there a lot of divine sons and saintesses on the island you’re located on? Not far from you is Lan Shi, one of the universe’s rising new celebrities. She is destined to become greater things and she’ll be able to help you out!”

Having heard what was said, Chu Feng casted sidelong glances at Lan Shi. Then, he nodded and said, “That makes sense. I’ll livestream beating Lan Shi. That would definitely give better results than battering Yuan Mo.”

On the Origin Beast Platform, that person who had given the suggestion to Chu Feng was astounded when he heard what he said. Then he shouted, “You are such an evil creature! I was only suggesting you work together with Lan Shi on the livestream, since she’s already a celebrity!”

“Yes, live streaming beating up a celebrity is not a bad idea. You have such a good way of thinking!” Chu Feng nodded his head solemnly to express his gratitude.

That person was immediately on the verge of a breakdown. After that, he didn’t even dare watch the stream. Fancy that—he liked Lan Shi so much but in the end had brought harm to her?!
