Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Settling a Past Karma
[Notice: Curly-haired Guy, Amegakure Village's Angel, Shark-Faced Guy, Skirt-Flipping Maniac, Doujin Artist, Machete Girl, This is an Actor have joined the livestream.]
Doujin Artist: Wow, Mouchou-sister is actually streaming!
Machete Girl: Where is this? The view is beautiful!
"This is Mount Zhongnan," Li Mouchou said softly, a slight smile on her lips.
Right now, it was midsummer in the world of "Return of the Condor Heroes."
Mount Zhongnan was lush and full of greenery.
Unknown birds chirped on the treetops all around, and sunlight poured through the thick leaves, casting scattered spots of light on the ground.
Such a natural scene was rarely seen in modern times.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: It's not just the view—Mouchou-sister is beautiful too!
This wasn't Ruiko trying to flatter her on purpose—it was a genuine reaction.
At the moment, Li Mouchou was still wearing her light yellow Daoist robe, but without her usual hairpiece. Her long black hair flowed down like a waterfall, and her fair face carried a faint smile, like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
Well, a fairy riding a donkey.
Amegakure Village's Angel: True. Mouchou used to be beautiful, but a bit too thin. Now she looks healthier, and her eyes don't seem as sad anymore.
Doujin Artist: Well, she used to be heartbroken over love, just like me.
Curly-haired Guy: You? You were just crushing on someone. Akiyama never even looked at you. You were just a drawing tool, nothing more.
Doujin Artist: Shut up!
Eriri was fuming but couldn't argue back. Now that she thought about it… yeah, it really was a one-sided crush.
This is an Actor: Judging by the camera view, Mouchou must be using cinema mode to stream.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: ? What's that?
Amegakure Village's Angel: I just noticed—the view in Mouchou's stream is way wider than normal.
Curly-haired Guy: Yeah, and it's not just the view—it's like the whole area around her is shown on screen. Is that what cinema mode does?
Doujin Artist: Damn, I didn't even know streams had this feature!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Me neither! I've streamed before and had no idea!
"After starting the stream, there's a little blue button on the bottom right," Li Mouchou patiently explained. "Click that to switch modes."
Amegakure Village's Angel: So that's how! Mouchou's really thoughtful.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Got it—I must've just overlooked it.
Doujin Artist: I live in the modern world, and I'm getting taught about tech by someone from ancient times? I give up. I've completely lost.
Curly-haired Guy: You've never won to begin with, loser.
Doujin Artist: Ha! You dare talk? You're the guy who fantasizes about Shinpachi! You even tried to seduce your own male subordinate. What a twisted perv!
"Enough," Li Mouchou shook her head helplessly. "If you're going to watch my stream, don't argue."
Doujin Artist: Fine, for Mouchou-sister's sake.
Curly-haired Guy: That's my line!
"M-Master? Who are you talking to?"
Beside her, holding the donkey's reins, Hong Lingbo looked wide-eyed and a bit scared. "Are you… having another episode?"
Machete Girl: Episode?
Even though the stream had automatic language translation, some special terms still confused members from different eras.
Doujin Artist: I think she means like... going crazy?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft! So Mouchou-sister's little disciple thinks she's losing her mind?
This is an Actor: That little disciple's kinda cute.
Reading the comments on the screen, Li Mouchou's mouth twitched hard. She was starting to understand what "public humiliation" felt like. Damn, this was embarrassing.
Still, with everyone watching, she couldn't punish her foolish disciple too harshly. She just gave her a sharp glare. "Focus on your job. Don't look back."
"Okay…" Not daring to say anything else, Hong Lingbo quietly turned around and continued doing her job—leading the donkey like a good little helper.
Doujin Artist: Did you see that? Did you all see it? That little look in her eyes—hahaha!
Shark-Faced Guy: She looks kind of upset.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Don't be fooled by her face. That girl's a total little menace!
At this moment, Li Mochou didn't say anything more to the screen—she just sent a reply.
Curly-haired Guy: If even our Mochou-chan looks like she's holding a grudge, that disciple must be *really* out of line.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Remember those two pieces of lingerie I asked A Li to upload last time? That little brat wore them on her head like a hat and strutted around in public.
Machete Girl: Lingerie? Like girls' underwear? And she wore that on her head?
Amegakure Village's Angel: Uh, yeah...
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft!
Doujin Artist: Hahaha! Mochou-sister, your little disciple is something else! I'm laughing so hard my head might fall off!
Shark-Faced Guy: In a way, it's very Gintoki-style.
Machete Girl: ?
Curly-haired Guy: Enough! That old joke again? How many centuries are we gonna keep bringing it up? Gintoki—I mean, *I*—have already wiped it from memory and moved on!
This is an Actor: But we haven't forgotten.
Doujin Artist: Yeah, we remember. That indestructible little bear-print underwear, someone just casually wore it on their head like it was no big deal.
Machete Girl: That's... perverted?
Curly-haired Guy: Stop it! Don't say any more! Gintoki—I mean, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I never should've drawn that cursed little bear-print underwear!
Hahaha.
Reading the chat, a genuine smile crept onto Li Mochou's face. As expected, the people in the group were the most fun. If not for them, she probably never would've gotten through her lowest point in life.
*Clang, clang.*
Just as she was thinking that, loud drums suddenly sounded not far away.
Amegakure Village's Angel: ?
Doujin Artist: What's going on over there, Mochou-sister? What's the noise?
"It's nothing serious." Li Mochou shook her head lightly and took a breath. "It's just a matter I need to settle—something from the past."
