Sun Yaohuo suggested: “Why don’t we just start the livestream now?”

Xia Fan hesitated: “But the representative isn’t here yet.”

Sun Yaohuo countered: “We can just stream ourselves cooking while we wait for him.”

The group agreed without any objections.

Xia Fan didn’t argue further: “Alright, let me post an update to notify the fans. You all better share it.”

Logging onto his blog.

Xia Fan posted a new update: [Starting the livestream early; here’s the link. Come hang out!]

The notification went out.

Jiang Kui shared it.

Sun Yaohuo shared it.

Chen Zhiyu shared it.

Zhao Ying Ge shared it.

Wei Haoyun shared it.

Then Xia Fan launched the livestream.

…

The livestream started successfully.

Instantly.

Countless fans swarmed the room, and the barrage of comments shocked Xia Fan!

“Finally here!”

“Love your constantly bad timing!”

“Where’s Fish Papa?!”

“Fish Papa! Fish Papa!”

“Here for Fish Papa!”

“Where’s Jiang Kui, the little cutie?”

“Xian Yu!”

“Perennial Runner-Up!”

“Zhao Ying Ge! Zhao Ying Ge! Zhao Ying Ge!”

“Rooting for Madam Haoyun!”

“Where’s Fire Bro?”

“Welcome to Xia Fan’s Yu Dynasty livestream!”

…

Thanks to Blue Songlympics, the Yu Dynasty’s popularity reached unprecedented heights. The livestream also attracted a massive audience from Zhong Continent.

Amid the sea of comments.

Xia Fan greeted the camera:

“Hello, everyone! This is Xia Fan from Yu Dynasty. We’re currently in Madam Haoyun’s kitchen preparing to cook.”

The camera panned around.

Xia Fan captured the others—Sun Yaohuo, Wei Haoyun, Zhao Ying Ge, Chen Zhiyu, and Jiang Kui—each giving warm greetings to the camera.

Everyone behaved naturally.

For this group of seasoned stars from Yu Dynasty, being on camera was second nature—especially when they were among friends, leaving no room for awkwardness.

Once everyone finished greeting.

Xia Fan said with a laugh:

“The representative hasn’t arrived yet. Right now, we’re in Madam Haoyun’s kitchen, and we’re about to hold Yu Dynasty’s first-ever Kitchen Master Showdown. Once the representative arrives, he’ll act as the judge to score our dishes. My first dish will be braised chicken wings and steamed—”

Before he could finish.

A panicked shout came from Sun Yaohuo:

“Zhao Ying Ge, what are you doing?!”

“Adding sugar!”

Zhao Ying Ge looked puzzled.

Sun Yaohuo slapped his forehead: “But you’re clearly adding SALT! Are you trying to poison the representative? And you call yourself Qin Continent’s number one kitchen goddess?!”

Zhao Ying Ge panicked: “Cut that part out—cut that out! Don’t let the representative see this!”

Instantly.

The viewers in the livestream burst into laughter!

Before Xian Yu even arrived, the show’s entertainment value was already through the roof!

“Poison Xian Yu!”

“Qin Continent’s number one kitchen goddess?”

“Cutting out the footage so Xian Yu won’t see, huh?”

“Wait, isn’t this livestreaming, dear sister?”

“So concerned about her image in Fish Papa’s eyes?”

“For anyone new here, there’s some backstory—it’s widely known Zhao Ying Ge has a crush on Xian Yu!”

“Yep, this was confirmed during the heartbeat game episode!”

“This is the culinary skill level of the Kitchen Master Showdown contestants?”

“I’ll allow it.”

“Very amusing.”

“Starting to feel the ‘Fish Walking with You’ vibes already.”

“Fish Papa is probably watching the livestream on his way here and might just turn around to order a $5 takeaway.”
