Chapter 269 - 267: Bitter Tea Red Tea

The listeners burst into laughter after hearing Ruirui’s mom’s story.

"666666! Didn’t expect to gain such a revelation!"

"Sister-in-law Hou is dumbfounded! This news is just a tiny bit better than finding out she’s biological siblings with Big Hou."

"Seeing Sister-in-law Hou’s sorrowful expression, why do I feel this uncontrollable urge to laugh?"

"Me too, it’s so sinful! I’ll knock on a wooden fish a thousand times later to redeem my overly wicked self today!"

"Hold it in and don’t laugh, or your virtue points will drop!"

"That brings up my electronic wooden fish machine! With multiple settings to choose from, it gives you forty thousand virtue points per minute—so much that even the Buddha would call you the top gifter!"

"This invention of yours is like an old lady getting into bed—it’s cracking me up!"

"Announcement: Due to a DDOS attack on the Western Heaven virtue measurement system, virtue measurement is suspended from today. Resumption time to be announced... Western Heaven IT Department"

"Buddha wakes up and finds himself bumped down to number two on the leaderboards!"

"This is the trend of the future—automating wooden fish tapping, and offering only electronic incense!"

"Tap a regular wooden fish, meet Avalokitesvara Buddha! Tap an electronic wooden fish, and meet Hatsune Miku!"

"Namo Amitabha Buddha! I released two hundred kilowatts of electricity today as an offering, and because of my sincerity, Buddha rewarded me with dozens of fish. Unfortunately, two middle-aged men in uniform appeared, asking for these fish. Out of kindness, I not only gave them the fish but also offered 2000 yuan..."

"I get it, they probably gifted you a pair of silver bracelets for your enthusiasm, right?"

"Damn! So next, did they invite you to stay as a guest at their place, and keep you for seven days in a private room?"

"Boohoo! Moved to tears! There really are more good people in this world!"

Meanwhile, Ruirui had stopped crying.

She looked at her parents in disbelief.

This... this...

She’s not actually biological siblings with Big Hou, which is good!

But why does it feel so sad?

After all this time, it turns out she was the only outsider!

She truly found it hard to accept this truth.

"Boohoo..."

The more Ruirui thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain.

"Rui, you will always be our daughter!"

Seeing this, Ruirui’s dad and mom hugged her and gently comforted her.

Watching this scene, Big Hou felt a surge of emotion.

No one would have expected that something as trivial as a DNA test would unravel so many secrets!

"Daoist priest, thank you so much for tonight!"

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have realized that my brother and I were swapped at birth..."

Facing the webcam, Big Hou first expressed his gratitude, then gave a deep bow.

"No need for thanks, young friend!"

Lu Heng waved his hand gently.

To be honest, this family’s story was truly impressive!

"Daoist priest, the doubts in my and Ruirui’s hearts have been resolved."

"So I won’t delay your broadcast any further."

Big Hou converted all the recharge balance in his account into Cloud-Piercing Arrows. After sending them, he waved goodbye and logged off.

As Big Hou and Ruirui’s families faded from view, the audience felt a little reluctant to part.

"The story of our first lucky viewer tonight was really full of twists and turns!"

"Yeah, who would’ve thought a single paternity test could reveal so much?"

"At first, I thought Big Hou, like Hu and others before him, had been cuckolded!"

"Me too, I totally didn’t expect these two families had swapped children."

"I was even more surprised about Ruirui’s identity!"

"Big Hou and Ruirui’s brother are already over thirty; it’s tough for them to suddenly adapt to a new family, isn’t it?"

"Big Hou might be okay since his biological parents are actually his in-laws, so he’s already familiar with them."

"Right, the real problem is Ruirui’s brother. Judging by his previous behavior, he hasn’t had much interaction with Big Hou’s parents, so accepting new parents might be challenging!"

"That’s not necessarily true. Ruirui’s brother gives me a pure and straightforward vibe; he probably won’t overthink things."

"He and his wife were just watching the drama unfold without knowing they were part of it."

"I wonder what story the next lucky viewer will bring us?"

"I hope the next viewer’s story will be even more exciting..."

Lu Heng glanced at the scrolling comments, and he was also curious about the next lucky viewer.

[System Prompt: The host has successfully altered the Heavenly Dao and is currently absorbing Life Span. Please check back later...]

At that moment, the system prompt sounded.

Lu Heng checked the system interface and saw his Life Span had increased by 16 points.

Obviously, although Big Hou and Ruirui’s destinies had changed to some extent, not much had been altered.

"The first lucky viewer has been sorted out."

"Next, let’s welcome our second lucky viewer—’Bitter Tea Red Tea’!"

As he spoke, he quickly found the viewer and sent them an invitation to stream together.

In less than ten seconds, the invitation was accepted.

As the camera shook, "Bitter Tea Red Tea" appeared in the livestream room.

"Bitter Tea Red Tea" was a young man in his early twenties, with a bright and cheerful smile on his face.

Sitting next to him was a woman who looked past middle age.

"Wow! With such a beautiful name like ’Bitter Tea Red Tea’, I thought it would be a girl!"

"I also thought it would be a cute little sister, but it turned out to be a little brother!"

"I suggest he change his username; it’s too effeminate!"

"You guys are interesting; how can you be so sure that ’Bitter Tea Red Tea’ is this young man?"

"Right, what if the older lady next to him is actually ’Bitter Tea Red Tea’?"

"No way! Could an older lady really choose such a fresh and youthful username? Wouldn’t it usually be something like ’Prosperous Flowers’, ’Flourishing Blossoms’, or ’Life is a Dream’?"

"Whoa! In comparison, it’s more acceptable if the young man’s using this name."

"Judging by these two, could they be mother and son?"

"There aren’t many viewers in our stream who are over 50 or 60, right? It’s usually younger and middle-aged people."

"And even some minors!"

"Do we have anyone here who’s 70 or 80? If so, please pop up!"

"At that age, who’s still watching streams?"

"Young man, if you lack experience, please just hush, okay? In my neighborhood, a few grandpas watch beautiful streamers dance every day, and I have to ask them for stream recommendations!"

"Impressive! Your grandpa is still awesome!"

"With the little brother’s mom around, how’s he going to keep the vibe lively?"

After connecting to the stream, before Lu Heng could speak, "Bitter Tea Red Tea" excitedly jumped in: "Old Daoist, your aura is really... really..."

"Immortal-like, exquisite, transcendental... I can’t even find the right words to describe you!"

"I’ve been following you since you did a fortune for Hu."

"Since then, I haven’t missed a single stream of yours."

"I never imagined I would actually get picked by you..."

This "Bitter Tea Red Tea" was so emotional that his face turned red, and he stumbled over his words, speaking a long sentence.
