Chapter 321 (1/2)

: Comforting the Fans

“Sister Li, what’s the matter with you?” Zhao Youyue quickly replied.

When Su Li saw Zhao Youyue’s reply, she naturally grew agitated. She started murmuring things like “she’s not dead” and “she’s still alive.” In a sudden torrent of emotions, she poured her heart out to Zhao Youyue about how everyone on the internet was “defiling” her. Simultaneously, in a querulous tone, she asked what Zhao Youyue had been up to recently, and why she had suddenly stopped live streaming for such a long time.

Zhao Youyue was speechless as she listened to Su Li’s grievances. She suspected that the netizens have already brainwashed Su Li into thinking that her drawings were filled with evil, and that tragedy would befall upon whatever she drew…

In actuality, all of this was just a coincidence.

Su Li was really the pan-carrier.

How could Zhao Youyue possibly be killed by Su Li?

Not a chance!

She was the mastermind behind the scenes…

Zhao Youyue replied, “Well, like I said, I was appointed as the host of my school’s New Year’s Eve. This party just so happens to coincide with our school’s 100th anniversary. This would make it a highly anticipated and important event. Therefore the school officials would not allow any errors. Hence, I’ve been spending all my nights on rehearsals and preparations, and it has left me with no time to live stream.”

After Zhao Youyue’s explanation, Su Li realized that New Year’s Day was just around the corner. She unconsciously started reminiscing about her own high school days, where things were uncannily similar. She expressed her understanding towards Zhao Youyue’s situation, but she still hoped that Zhao Youyue would at least log into Ah Yu’s Weibo and explain everything to her fans. If not, those fans of hers might really start to wreak havoc.

Some netizens were genuinely concerned had also indicated that they intended to contact the police. They could not just stand there and do nothing while knowing that Ah Yu had gone missing, right?

Thereafter, Zhao Youyue finally logged into her sockpuppet “Ah Yu” Weibo account. Upon logging in, she discovered that her Weibo was bursting with activity and interactions. Other than her fans who were concerned about her, many others were gloating over her disappearance. They were saying things like “now that you’ve finally gotten a taste of Su, the Great Deity’s mysterious powers, how do you like it”

Zhao Youyue was at a loss for words. All these netizens must be bored out of their minds. Why do they persist on stirring up trouble, one after another? It was quite apparent that, no matter what Su Li draws in the future, everyone would definitely overthink it. It had become so unscrupulous, to the point that if someone were to meet with an accident after seeing her illustrations, they might even link it to her and blame her for it.

The netizens would surely blow things out of proportion and start saying things like how Su, the Great Deity’s illustrations have finally managed to kill a reader. Fortunately, the mainstream media would not get involved, under normal circumstances. It was only the netizens who were particularly fond of creating this sort of drama.

One fact could not be denied – Su Li’s popularity had exploded, due to her being known for terms like “poisonous touch” and “the mysterious force from the East.” Many of those who did not even read mangas, were slowly being made aware of her “great achievements.”

This had garnered even greater attention towards Su Li’s Weibo. Some had requested for Su Li to draw people that they hated, in the hope that her mysterious power would be able to help them get revenge.

As Su Li’s influence had extended far beyond the constraints of the manga community, her reputation and net worth grew. Everything she drew would inevitably become a hot topic for discussion. Some content creators were even willing to offer themselves up and bet on how they would be the first creator to be immune to her “mysterious powers”…

There were also creators who had “bento-giving obsessions,” who felt that they should not go overboard with the characters in their works. As long as they worked with an illustrator like Su Li, and give bentos to their characters, the pan would definitely fall on her head.
