After experiencing two painful failures, the "lipstick array" and the "electrocution nightmare," Ling Qingxue finally put aside her obsession with replicating cultivation arrays with modern materials and turned to studying some more "soft" things, such as home feng shui layout based on traditional I Ching theory.
This thing won't explode or electrocute anyone; at most, it'll just be used to move furniture and rearrange decorations. Zhang Shaozhong wholeheartedly agreed.
Ye Meier, on the other hand, found a new kind of fun in the live streaming field—chatting with people via live chat.
Whether it's due to her enchanting personality or not, she particularly enjoys connecting with argumentative or sarcastic fans in her live streams. She then uses her powerful logic and sharp tongue to leave them speechless, which somehow possesses a captivating charm that makes people both love and hate her. This creates explosive entertainment and attracts many fans who enjoy watching the drama unfold.
Zhang Shaozhong, the agent, was busy "scientifically" packaging Ling Qingxue's feng shui theories while also nervously overseeing Ye Meier's live stream sessions, fearing that she might say something too outrageous and get her account banned.
That evening was another live broadcast day for "Tales of Immortals and Demons".
Today, Ling Qingxue will be speaking on "Home Layout and Physical and Mental Health".
Ling Qingxue, dressed in a light blue modified cheongsam, sat in front of an antique-style backdrop and began to speak eloquently: "...Therefore, the bedroom should be quiet rather than active, and the headboard should be against a solid wall, which is called having a mountain to lean on, which is conducive to sleep and calming the mind..."
She explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, incorporating some modern environmental psychology, and it sounded quite convincing.
The comments section was also filled with harmony: "The fairy is right! My bed is right next to the window, so I can never sleep well!"
"I've learned something! I'll move the wardrobe next to the bed tonight!"
"The host has such a great presence; her voice is so calming."
Just then, a sudden, clearly sarcastic comment appeared on the screen: "Pshaw, pretending to be a sage! What era are we living in that people still believe in feng shui? It's just psychological suggestion, isn't it? A bunch of ignorant fools!"
The ID that sent the bullet comments was "Dr. Zhao, the Mad Scientist".
These kinds of troll comments happen all the time, and they're usually ignored or dealt with by the moderators.
But today, before the room administrator could even make a move, Ye Meier refused to cooperate.
She didn't get a chance to shine today, and she's just bored!
"Oh? This is 'Dr. Zhao'?"
Ye Meier raised an eyebrow at the camera, a dangerous smile playing on her lips. "Judging from your tone, you seem to know a lot about science? Come on, get on the mic! Let me hear your insights! Don't just hide behind the comments and chatter away!"
Zhang Shaozhong frantically winked at her, signaling her not to cause trouble.
But Ye Meier completely ignored him.
It seems that even the "mad scientist Dr. Zhao" was provoked and actually applied to join the live stream.
After the call connected, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses, with messy hair, who looked to be around thirty years old, appeared on the screen. The background looked like a laboratory or a storage room.
"Let's connect live!"
Dr. Zhao spoke with great emotion, “I’m going to expose the true face of your pseudoscience! Feng shui? That’s just something that ancient people imagined because they didn’t understand natural science! What energy field, what evil energy, is there any scientific basis for it? Can it be verified through double-blind experiments?”
Before Ye Meier could speak, Ling Qingxue spoke calmly. She looked at Dr. Zhao in the live video feed, especially at the messy, dimly lit environment behind him, filled with books and instruments. A knowing glint flashed in her clear, cold eyes.
“This…Mr. Zhao,”
Ling Qingxue's voice remained calm, "Looking at the scene behind you, the books are piled up like mountains but in a messy and disorderly manner. This is the 'Book-Trapping Curse,' which causes mental blockage and easily leads to worries."
If a sharp object points directly at the back, this is called "sharp corner evil," which adds pressure and can easily lead to restlessness and arguments.
Furthermore, dim indoor lighting and insufficient Yang energy will inevitably affect mental and physical health over time.
Have you been feeling dizzy, mentally foggy, and less productive lately, and are prone to arguments with colleagues and friends?
As soon as Ling Qingxue said this, the live stream chat exploded!
"Holy crap! A fairy can tell everything just by looking at someone's background?"
"That seems pretty accurate! This guy looks like a powder keg!"
"Is this a script? It's amazing!"
Dr. Zhao on the other end of the video call was visibly taken aback, a flicker of panic crossing his face as if he'd been caught out. He quickly regained his composure, stiffening his neck as he said, "Nonsense! I'm busy with research! That's how it is in the lab! You're just guessing, it's just psychological profiling..."
"oh?"
Ye Meier seized the opportunity and immediately interrupted him, unleashing her full firepower, "So busy that you don't even have time to tidy up the table? So busy that you talk to people like you're on fire?"
I said to this 'PhD', your research has messed up your basic life routines and interpersonal relationships. This kind of science is too unscientific!
Doesn't scientific research require a clear mind and stable emotions? Don't you feel uncomfortable in this environment?
She speaks very fast and uses tricky logic, directly shifting the question from "whether feng shui is superstitious" to "work efficiency and quality of life".
Dr. Zhao's face turned red and white as he was confronted, and he was speechless for a moment, wanting to refute but unable to find the words.
Because he had been having a lot of bad luck lately—his thesis was stuck, he had a fight with his advisor, he had a conflict with his roommate, and he was suffering from insomnia and nightmares at night—Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier's back-and-forth banter hit a lot of his sore spots.
"You...you...you're just arguing!"
After struggling for a long time, Dr. Zhao could only manage to squeeze out this sentence.
Ling Qingxue added another blow, her tone still calm: "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. However, the environment is to a person what water is to a fish."
Fish thrive in clear water, but become sick in murky water. Even if one doesn't believe in the concept of 'feng shui,' maintaining a clean, well-lit, and well-ventilated environment is beneficial to both body and mind. This is a universally applicable principle that does not conflict with science.
Why doesn't Mr. Zhao try organizing it? Perhaps he'll gain something from it?
Her words were perfectly tactful, maintaining her own viewpoint without forcibly instilling superstition, and instead elevating it to a universally applicable concept of healthy living.
The comments section was filled with agreement: "The fairy is right! Who cares about any supernatural influences? It's just so comfortable to live in when it's clean and tidy!"
"That's right! My mood always improves after I tidy up my room!"
"Has this PhD student gone mad? Can't science accept empirical knowledge?"
Dr. Zhao was completely defeated by the barrage of ridicule in the live chat and Ling Qingxue's calm gaze that seemed to show concern for the mentally challenged. He muttered "Incomprehensible!" with an ugly expression and immediately ended the call.
"Tch, they ran away already? How boring!" Ye Meier said, still wanting more.
Zhang Shaozhong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. On the contrary, the popularity of the live stream increased again because of the show's effect, and the number of tips also increased significantly.
After the broadcast ended, Zhang Shaozhong couldn't help but give Ling Qingxue a thumbs up: "Fairy, you're amazing! Your words just now demonstrated your skill without leaving any room for criticism. Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
Ling Qingxue smiled slightly: "I'm just stating the facts. That person's aura was chaotic, his forehead was dark, and the environment he was in exacerbated his negative state, which was obvious."
Ye Meier said smugly, "How about that? Did I do a good job? That's how you teach a self-righteous guy to be taught a lesson!"
