Only Hu Tao was full of life, as if nothing had happened.
She held her phone up to everyone and started chatting away.
"Oh no, look at Xingqiu, he's so weak! He just fell from a chicken, and he's already out of commission."
"Hehe, of course, the Hall Master is brave! I'm super brave, okay?!"
Xavier almost fainted. What kind of outrageous words was she saying?
Seeing Xavier return with Shenhe, Hu Tao immediately ran over with her phone raised.
"Wow, Xavier, you actually managed to bring Shenhe over too! How did you do it?!"
Xavier replied truthfully, "I just happened to run into her; I didn't go looking for her."
"Oh my, what a coincidence! Shenhe, would you like to say hello to everyone?!"
Hu Tao wasn't afraid of Shenhe at all and greeted her warmly.
"Hello, Hu Tao."
Shenhe expressionlessly extended her hand and, just as Hu Tao said, greeted her.
Chongyun said helplessly, "Hu Tao, you should explain more clearly. Auntie can't possibly understand what you're saying."
"Hmm~ It's just that we're live-streaming now. This thing called a phone has hundreds of thousands of people watching us inside it."
Hu Tao explained, but Shenhe was clearly skeptical.
She frowned slightly and said, "Could this be an immortal art, capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people within it, yet undetectable? It seems this immortal has immense power, but based on my experience, it's impossible."
After talking for a long time, Shenhe felt that Hu Tao was lying.
Hundreds of thousands of people? That would mean putting all the people of Liyue inside, and probably even the Hilichurls.
"It's true! Because people on Blue Star all have phones, they can see what's happening here just by using their phones!"
Hu Tao was not at all impatient and continued to explain to Shenhe.
"So, this thing called a phone can connect to each other, and you can see the other person?" Shenhe finally understood a little.
Hu Tao nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, that's right, but with live streaming, they can see me, but we can't see them. Otherwise, with hundreds of thousands of people, a small phone wouldn't be able to hold them all."
Even without knowing how a phone worked, Shenhe finally understood what this phone live stream was for.
"So you want me to greet those people with phones, and not you?" Shenhe confirmed.
"Mhm! Just look here!"
Hu Tao pointed to the camera, and Shenhe understood.
Then she pressed her entire face against it, her exquisite features filling the entire screen.
"Hello everyone, I am Shenhe, a disciple of Cloud Retainer. As for other matters, I will not say much."
Shenhe thought that the people in front of the screen didn't know her at all, so she introduced herself.
Xavier couldn't hold it anymore and covered his mouth, laughing. This damned contrast was just too funny!
Shenhe, however, didn't know that the barrage of comments had already exploded.
"Oh my god, it's really Auntie! Is this really not a script?"
"Was it really a chance encounter? It's impossible to climb this mountain in less than two days."
"Why are you guys focusing on that? All I know is that Auntie's stunning beauty has conquered me. I'm simping!"
"Auntie! Ahhh! I'm crazy for Auntie, I'm wild for Auntie, I'm banging my head against the wall for Auntie!"
"Help me, even pressed against the camera, she's so beautiful it's breathtaking. Is this really a face a human should possess?"
"What's even more exaggerated is that it shows no beauty filters! I'm coolly taking screenshots to use as wallpaper when I get back!"
Hu Tao also found these comments very interesting.
Then he said to Shenhe, "Shenhe, everyone likes you very much! They want to bang their heads against the wall for you!"
"Bang their heads against the wall? Why does that sound like I'm an evil god, casting a curse on them?"
Shenhe couldn't understand why these people would say such strange things, making her sound like a bad person.
Xavier almost fainted; explaining these things to Shenhe really seemed quite difficult.
"Alright, Hu Tao, stop talking."
Xavier snatched the phone, taking over the live stream.
Then Xavier took two steps back and filmed Shenhe's full body.
Compared to just a face, Shenhe with her full body visible was clearly even more captivating.
"Holy cow, her figure is also so good! A 1:1 rerun, isn't it?!"
"It's Auntie from the period before the Vision Hunt Decree! I can't take it anymore, my friends."
"This figure, this face, this temperament, and this environmental background… Damn it, Great Demon King, did you really not go to Teyvat?!"
Xavier smiled faintly, having no intention of explaining.
Meanwhile, the number of online viewers had already surpassed 1 million.
This number was quite astonishing, but Xavier could understand it.
Because if only these characters were involved, the popularity wouldn't be this high.
The key was the background he was filming—this was a real-life shot of Liyue.
These fans and viewers had no idea it was real; they only knew that it looked exactly like the game, which was truly spectacular.
"Xavier, what should we do now? Can I trouble you to take the plane back?"
Keqing thought for a moment and felt that in the end, she could only trouble Xavier.
Before Xavier could speak, Shenhe asked, "Does this thing called a plane really have to be taken back? If so, perhaps I can help."
After speaking, Shenhe walked towards the plane, intending to lift it.
Xavier's vision went black. He remembered that Shenhe used to carry Shitou like that.
"No, no, no, let's talk about it later!"
Xavier was live-streaming now. Lifting a plane in front of so many people, he wouldn't be able to explain himself later.
"Sorry everyone, today's live stream ends here. I'll post an update to notify everyone before the next live stream!"
The fans were unwilling to accept this and, seeing Xavier about to end the live stream, they started cursing, no longer maintaining their previous good attitude.
"Damn it, you little brat, you're hogging it! Don't turn it off!"
"We haven't seen enough yet! Let me see Auntie again!"
"Yeah, you haven't said what you're going to do with your plane yet! Don't turn off the live stream…"
Xavier didn't care what these fans said; he simply clicked and turned off the live stream.
He let out a sigh of relief, then said to Shenhe, "Leave it to me."
"You?"
Shenhe's eyes were full of doubt, probably questioning Xavier's strength.
Xavier felt his masculine pride was hurt and immediately enveloped the plane with his Anemo element power.
Then the massive plane took off.
Shenhe's gaze changed, from initial doubt to now admiration and respect.
"I never thought you, Xavier, possessed such great power. It seems I underestimated you before."
Xavier rubbed his nose with his thumb and said proudly, "Of course! I'm super brave!"
