78. Buying a succubus online
After that night, and after two more days of "seclusion", Ke Qi successfully drew all the content of the first chapter of the comic "Chi Ye" and released it on the Ximan APP platform.
To her surprise, the comic was officially released in the morning, and in less than an afternoon, it went viral on major entertainment media platforms.
Furthermore, because the original novel itself has a high level of national recognition, it became a viral hit across all platforms.
"This drawing is so beautiful! Ahhhhh!"
At this very moment, in her school dormitory, Yu Sheng, a loyal fan of the original novel, happened to come across Ke Qi's comic on Douyin.
Her eyes were filled with admiration. "Qiqi, I never imagined you could be so amazing at drawing this type of comic!"
"Holy crap, the art style is so beautiful, the meat looks so delicious and tantalizing, it's making my period come early!"
Keqi: ...
She didn't quite understand: "Is it really that exaggerated?"
When she was drawing, she felt it was just so-so. In fact, because she wasn't good at drawing those large-scale scenes, she had to use the clumsy method of asking Gu Zhao for "inspiration" several times.
"Of course!"
Yu Sheng grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently. "Qiqi, what's with that expression? I'm speechless. Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about your authority?"
She was genuinely happy for her: "I saw that many netizens and fans of the original novel who questioned why you were qualified to take on the big IP 'Chi Ye' have now changed their minds and are really happy with it!"
"Qiqi, you're really amazing! With your skill level, becoming a top artist earning millions a month is just around the corner!"
Do you earn a million a month?
Ke Qi blinked, then shyly pursed her lips.
I'm sorry, but she already is.
However, Yu Sheng didn't give her a chance to be proud and arrogant. The next second, she knocked off the loose knitwear that Yu Sheng had accidentally bought a size too big.
And so, the dense red marks that started from the collarbone and extended all the way to the chest were suddenly exposed.
Yu Sheng was taken aback when she saw this. The next second, she silently pulled her clothes up again, and her attention was successfully diverted.
"Not bad, Qiqi."
She smiled mischievously: "Looks like you've had a great time with Gu the Great Demon King these past few days."
"By the way, you two have already gotten your marriage certificate, when are you planning to have the wedding?"
"This..." Ke Qi's ears burned slightly, and she silently pulled her collar up a little. "It's too early. I'm not considering it right now."
After all, she's currently in the prime of her career and is really too busy.
Gu Zhao, in order to compete with Gu Ye, has recently made a strong comeback to the family business and is working like a spinning top every day.
I don't know when I'll be able to hold a wedding.
Gu Zhao has always wanted to give her a grand wedding, so it certainly won't be rushed into a short period of time.
"I see~"
Yu Sheng, unaware of her thoughts, guessed the reason simply by looking at the faint dark circles under her eyes and expressed her understanding.
"You've really worked hard, our model workers."
Most other students are still leisurely enjoying campus life in their second year of college, and few are like Ke Qi, who works like a workaholic and always runs to the art studio whenever they have free time.
She's recently been taking on big IP serialized comics, designing posters for various web dramas, and hasn't neglected her previous commercial projects either.
With this kind of workload, even if you split your time into two parts each day, it might not be enough. Even an iron man might not be able to withstand it.
"Qiqi, why are you working so hard?"
Yu Sheng didn't quite understand. "Look at you, you're not short of money now, your mother-in-law's family is also very wealthy, your own net worth has increased, and your future is bright. Why do you have to make yourself work so hard?"
"well enough."
Ke Qi chuckled: "Everyone needs to have some aspirations, right?"
Of course, what she didn't say was that there was another reason why she had been saving money so hard all this time: she dreamed of one day being able to go to a very far place, preferably a distant foreign country to settle down.
In short, go to a place where you are not bound by Ke Hengyuan and that family.
But now Gu Zhao has helped her cut off all of that, allowing her to gain spiritual freedom without having to travel far away. Ke Qi is very grateful to him.
Although neither he nor his mother or father ever asked her to repay them, Ke Qi wanted to do whatever she could for the Gu family.
"Alright, alright." Yu Sheng admired him from the bottom of her heart, but also asked with concern, "But no matter how ambitious you are, you should take care of your health, shouldn't you?"
As if she had just thought of something, she suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Hey, now that I've got you, Qiqi, I'll give you a gift. It's a bag that will help you relieve fatigue; it's really effective!"
Her expression was exaggerated yet resolute.
Ke Qi's curiosity was piqued: "What gift?"
"Hehe, I'll keep it a secret for now."
She said mysteriously, "Send me the address of your new place, you'll find out tonight!"
...
So, at 8 p.m., when the doorbell rang, Ke Qi indeed received this "gift" from Yu Sheng.
"you……"
Right now, in the entryway.
Keqi stared wide-eyed at the pretty little girl in front of her.
She had long, wavy hair with a black-to-red gradient topped with two small, bright pink horns, and her tail was also a striking bright pink.
Upon seeing Keqi, she blinked her big eyes and obediently greeted, "Hello, Master. I am the succubus you ordered online, Kaka."
Keqi: ...
Ke Qi was stunned.
When did she order that exclusive succubus online?
And let's get this straight: can succubi be ordered online?
This thing even has an industry chain?
Aren't succubi a rare species hidden among humans?
Huh? Huh?
Ke Qi was going crazy. Just as she was wondering what was going on, the phone suddenly rang.
Caller ID: Yu Sheng
Ke Qi answered the phone in a daze, and the next second, Yu Sheng's loud voice came through: "Qi Qi, did you receive the gift?"
She chuckled. "Aren't you surprised?"
Gift?
Ke Qi silently looked at the little girl in front of her, who was staring at her with big, bright eyes, and at that moment, she instantly understood.
"You mean you bought this succubus girl online?" Keqi exclaimed in disbelief, her voice sharp and piercing.
"yes!"
Yu Sheng lowered her voice, "Although it's just the lowest-ranking D-level succubus, it still cost me 10,000 yuan. Consider it a wedding gift for you. I'll be the godmother of any baby you have with the Great Demon King Gu, hehe!"
"By the way, let me tell you, she's very useful, she can..."
"stop!"
Keqi interrupted her rambling, took a deep breath, and asked her with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "How...how did you know that succubi exist in this world?"
"Furthermore, can succubi even be bought? Isn't this human trafficking?"
She almost screamed, "Isn't this illegal?"
Why are you so agitated?
Yu Sheng didn't understand: "Succubi have always existed in the world, they're just relatively rare, but I often heard my parents mention them when I was little."
"However, I heard that the number of succubi has now exceeded one billion worldwide."
"So, in order to regulate management, the government established a special Succubus Administration Bureau last week through decision-making and approval."
She explained, "Furthermore, after specialized scientific evaluation, the National Succubus Administration has now officially classified succubi into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. Among them, A-level and S-level succubi are protected by national laws and have the same basic human rights as normal humans."
"Succubi below Grade A were found to be intellectually deficient and lacked human consciousness, and were classified as pets, on the same level as cats and dogs, and allowed to be kept by ordinary citizens."
"Then, after a while, a large-scale population census will be launched, and all A-level and S-level succubi will have to register and report to the National Succubus Administration."
"This is such a major national event, it trended on social media several times recently, and everyone around me was talking about it. Didn't you see it?"
Keqi: ...
It feels like I'm living on another planet.
She's been either busy secluded to finish her manuscript or eating Gu Zhao's food to replenish her energy lately, so where would she find the time to browse Weibo?
In addition, since she had been staying at the Gu family's residence and Yun Jing and the court, and everyone was busy, no one mentioned this matter, so she naturally didn't know about it.
Now that I hear what she says...
Keqi murmured, "This world must be crazy."
