HEIFEIGU -Chapter 7

Living in a place like this made life feel completely hopeless.

After searching for a long time, Xie Jixing finally found a spot that could fit both suitcases without tripping someone to death. The only thought in his mind was:

Make money. Change houses!

Thinking back to the past, every mountain in the Shancai Sect had been his for the choosing.

He could occupy as many peaks as he wanted. After all, there were only three people in the sect—him, his master, and his senior brother.

Now?

He could trip over his own feet just by turning around.

Too miserable!

Make money! Make money!

Xie Jixing immediately opened his computer and searched:

“What’s the fastest way to make money without breaking the law?”

Top answer: Become a celebrity.

Tried that already. Now he was living in a room so small you couldn’t even hang yourself properly. Not great.

The unlucky ghost sneezed twice. “Huh? Who’s badmouthing me?”

Second answer: Become a popular livestreamer.

Sounds good. Added to the schedule.

The room was so small that it took less than half an hour to clean up.

Checking his balance—just over 6,000 yuan left. Xie Jixing carefully bought some daily necessities. That counted as settling down for now.

It was already summer. City C was a famous furnace. This room didn’t even have air-conditioning. It was a hell-level start.

“Come here.”

Lying on the bed, Xie Jixing patted the empty spot and summoned the unlucky ghost.

The ghost stared in horror. What are you planning now?!

“Cool me down.”

A ghost’s yin energy was basically a natural air conditioner. No fan needed.

Basements had their advantages. Xie Jixing turned over comfortably. At least it was cool.

He hadn’t rested properly since transmigrating, so he slept straight through until the next afternoon.

Saved three meals. Perfect!

---

After leaving the show, Xie Jixing had been busy moving and hadn’t paid much attention to the internet. Before starting his livestream, he had to check public opinion.

He climbed onto “Big Eye” social media while chewing on a small bun.

The account “SummerStar_XieJixing” given by the company had already been returned. Now he was using the unlucky ghost’s old account.

It was originally registered for singing streams. The nickname was “StarLovesSinging.”

Xie Jixing hesitated and asked, “Should we change it?”

After all, he wasn’t the same Xie Jixing who would sacrifice everything for singing.

The ghost floated over, stared at the screen, and the black mist at his lips curled slightly.

“Change it. I’ve already said goodbye to him.”

The nickname was changed to “Xie Jixing.” Verification was resubmitted. Since he wasn’t signed to any agency, this would be his official account.

After finishing, he checked his old account.

The former company probably feared the recordings he had, so they didn’t say anything harsh. They just posted a short statement:

“SummerStar member Xie Jixing has withdrawn from the group due to personal reasons. Thank you for your support.”

But the comments weren’t so peaceful.

Top comment:

【He was obviously kicked out. So the bullying is confirmed. Support the company releasing evidence and completely destroying this traitor. Justice for Ji Jin!】

It had hundreds of thousands of likes.

More than the statement itself.

Where did those likes even come from?

So annoying. Can’t take it!

Xie Jixing replied directly:

【Support! Hope the company releases the evidence soon to destroy me. Otherwise I’ll release mine first 😊】

But his account only had 30,000 followers, so it sank quickly. He didn’t bother anymore.

Better to search: “How to make a big spender gift 30,000 in three sentences.”

He memorized the scripts and confidently opened his livestream.

The unlucky ghost’s singing room had decent traffic. People came in as soon as he went live.

Xie Jixing leaned close to adjust the camera.

After a brief silence, comments exploded:

【Visual attack!!!】

【We were strangers, but you leaned in to seduce me. Don’t blame me for calling you wife.】

【Stop talking, I’m licking already!】

After fixing the camera, he stepped back.

But there wasn’t much space—he hit the wall.

Rubbing his shoulder, he greeted:

“Hello, I’m Xie Jixing. I’ll stream here when I have time. Please…”

Why does this sound so embarrassing?

He forced himself: “Follow me so you won’t get lost! Click the plus sign in the top right!”

If the apartment his toes dug out could be lived in, he’d already have a villa.

【Who taught my wife to say such cringe lines? His ears are red.】

【It’s okay, mom’s following you now.】

【Has Xingxing really quit the group?】

“Yeah, it’s confirmed,” he replied.

【Great! Congrats on escaping that bloodsucking group! Hope you’ll still sing.】

A loyal fan of the ghost.

Xie Jixing cleared his hoarse throat.

“Sorry, my throat has problems. I probably can’t sing anymore.”

The drug was temporary, but his voice was ruined. Worse, he was now kind of tone-deaf.

Back in the sect, his master never let him chant—said it disturbed cultivation.

The chat fell silent for a moment, then comforted him.

【Is that why you quit?】

【It’s okay, just chat with us.】

They sent small gifts.

Some were already recommending him privately.

“New wife here. Sweet type. Come fast!”

Gifts weren’t big, but money was money. He almost heard coins dropping.

Faith points were rising too. He smiled and chatted happily.

“Can I call you husband?” Xie Jixing frowned. “Different IDs asked five times. No. That’s polygamy.”

Chat exploded.

【Sisters, stop! I’ll spend alone! One ‘husband’ for everyone!】

“What are your plans?”

“Not much savings. I’ll do whatever keeps me alive.”

【He changed the topic!】

【Ears are red again—my baby!】

【So cute when embarrassed!】

The atmosphere was great.

Then suddenly, viewer count spiked.

A group of IDs named “CrabChickenStinkXXX” flooded in:

【Confirmed bullying! Crab Chicken Stink get out of entertainment industry!】

Haters had arrived.

The warm atmosphere shattered.

New fans panicked. Old ones hesitated.

The chat filled with insults.

SummerXing’s reputation was falling. Fans needed an outlet. Xie Jixing was the scapegoat.

Ji Jin’s fans, Xia Letian’s fans, group fans, and even the former company had joined in.

Water armies led the attack.

They wanted to break him, force him to apologize, ruin him completely.

But—

Nothing happened.

Xie Jixing didn’t even change expression. He sneered.

“Is that all you’ve got? Can’t you be more creative?”

The haters broke first.

One ID jumped out:

“CrabChickenStinkDieFromBullying…”

【After betraying the group, he really fell off. Living in such a shabby place—probably smaller than his teammates’ storage room, right?】

【Useless at both singing and dancing. Now that he can’t survive in showbiz, he’s given up on himself and gone into livestream selling.】

【Today it’s selling goods, tomorrow maybe he’ll be doing borderline content.】

Xie Jixing couldn’t understand their strange hierarchy of contempt.

What’s so “fallen” about livestream selling?

He didn’t even have any products to sell yet.

Today was his first livestream. He’d planned to hold back and endure it, but when they mocked his small apartment, he couldn’t take it anymore.

Xie Jixing narrowed his eyes, lazily leaned closer to the camera, stared at that ID, and said:

“You’re right. Life forced me into this—so I had no choice but to sell trash like you.”

Then he opened the livestream’s built-in shopping cart and added a product.

Quantity: Crab-Chicken-Stink Bully, Go Die ×1
Price: ¥0.01
Description: Buy this to receive one Xie Jixing anti-fan.

50% new. Huge defects.

The last line was bolded in red by Xie Jixing:

Trash item! Buy with caution!!!
