Li Xiang looked up at Jiang Cai’Er, who was the center of everyone’s adoration. The luster of the jade hairpin in her hair seemed more dazzling than any crown.

When the live stream ended, Li Xiang reviewed the data in the backend and discovered several emails from the special admissions offices of top universities in his private messages. However, while these universities were good—Project 985 institutions, even—Jiang Cai’Er most likely wouldn’t be interested in them.

Li Xiang hadn’t organized this live stream purely for the money; he also wanted to bring fame to his hometown’s County No. 1 High School.

After all, while the high school’s official account had also been streaming, its number of online viewers was a far cry from Li Xiang’s. With over fifty million followers and the military rank of Major, Li Xiang had already become a legendary figure.

Normally, many official media outlets wanted to interview him, but Li Xiang politely declined them all. The details surrounding how he had earned his military honors, in particular, were still classified, so he couldn’t say much about it.

Jiang Cai’Er’s poem went viral online, and the high school’s coming-of-age ceremony and pep rally became trending topics. The student body of County No. 1 High, however, paid no attention, completely immersed in their intense final review sessions.

The college entrance exams were fast approaching. Even the ever-confident Jiang Cai’Er had settled down these past few days to review her lessons. She no longer secretly ”jumped the wall” at night to surf the internet.

What surprised Li Xiang about this live stream was that his biggest supporter, Top Aunt, hadn’t come online. Still, gifting was a gesture of goodwill; he couldn’t force her to always support him, especially since it involved real gold and silver.

But he would always remember Top Aunt’s kindness. ’Her support when I was just starting out was more than enough,’ he thought.

After some thought, Li Xiang picked out some things from his stash of European specialties that a middle-aged woman might like, including quite a few luxury items, and had them sent to Top Aunt.

When Luo Feifei received them, she just laughed and regifted them to her mother and their nanny. ’How would things for a middle-aged woman suit a young girl like her?’ she mused.

The peach trees in the backyard were already bearing fuzzy, unripe fruit, the largest of which were the size of eggs. Li Xiang picked one to try and found it surprisingly crisp, sour, and refreshing.

Ripe, juicy peaches were certainly delicious, but these green, fuzzy ones had their own unique flavor.

While he was doing farm work in the vegetable garden, the small animals played around him. The few pepper plants, having been ”tended to” by Zhao Xueqing, had grown taller and more robust, with lush leaves and an abundance of fruit.

A single one of these ”pepper trees” could probably yield dozens of pounds of peppers.

Li Xiang picked a raw pepper, took a bite, and chewed it slowly. A faint, sweet fragrance cut through the fiery heat, and it was much juicier than a dried chili. It tasted great. Seeing this, the little tabby cat leaped over, pounced, and ”caught” a small pepper swaying in the breeze, then took a big bite just like Li Xiang had.

”You can eat this too?” Li Xiang asked in amazement. But before he could finish his thought, the little tabby cat started wailing, ”MEOW, MEOW,” hopping up and down before running to the Overlapping Waterfall to frantically lap up water.

”Haha, you little glutton,” Li Xiang said, leaving it to its own devices.

Although the days were leisurely, Li Xiang never slacked off in his cultivation. The Spiritual Power in his body grew increasingly dense. Several times, he felt like he couldn’t hold it back and was on the verge of a breakthrough, but he kept using the ”Suppression” technique to hold it in, continuing to solidify his foundation.

「In the blink of an eye, the college entrance exams, a source of anxiety for students and parents across the country, had arrived.」
