"Pfft."

Xu Fan, whose tongue was razor-sharp, had the people around him watching the chunks of foundation falling off his palm, unable to restrain themselves from covering their mouths and snickering.

"You! You dare hit me!"

The unusual gazes from the crowd caused the main troublemaker from Douyu's Trio to blush.

As someone involved in the underground scene, having climbed aboard the massive ship of live broadcasting and becoming the leader of Douyu's Trio, she was far more brazen than other hosts, with a skin three times thicker.

But that didn't mean she could remain indifferent under the gaze of so many unusual eyes.

Having been stared at by her, and coupled with the verbal onslaught from her two companions, Xu Fan frowned and, without hesitation, raised his hand and delivered three resounding slaps that equally distributed across the faces of the Trio.

"Don't think that just because you've plastered a wall over your face, I won't dare to hit you."

Xu Fan was certainly no gentleman. Not hitting women was conditional—for the likes of these battling hags, he showed no mercy.

You must understand that these three were not just cursing Miaomiao; the "rich tycoon" in their words was himself.

Having expended so much talk, Xu Fan didn't retort even once, directly using the two slaps to make them obediently submit.

The three women, struck by the two slaps, stumbled back in utter disarray. They looked around, their hearts chilling upon realizing that not a single man was willing to stand up for them.

"You guys are men? You just watch as I get hit and do nothing?"

"..."

The accusations from Douyu's Trio left almost no one feeling guilty; the three of them could be perfectly described by the term "green tea bitches."

Playing the hero to save the damsel was something they did not deserve.

Moreover, considering the two slaps Xu Fan had just delivered, who would step forward, to offer their head?

"Fine, fine, you all, you all, I'll remember this!"

Coldly glancing at everyone present, the leader of the Trio secretly swore that one day, she would make these people regret it!

After bitterly remembering this grudge, the Trio then returned to their previous seats.

"Xu Fan, maybe we should just leave."

As she had feared, they had encountered some oddballs at the gathering.

Guan Shimeng was now contemplating leaving early with Xu Fan, to avoid the women causing more trouble once Director Luo arrived, escalating the situation into an even more awkward state.

"If Brother Qianfan leaves, Miaomiao will leave too."

Miaomiao also stated her position immediately.

This girl wasn't worried at all that Guan Shimeng by her side might misunderstand; she clung tightly to Xu Fan's arm, as if she feared someone else might snatch him away.

Treated like a treasure.

"..."

Guan Shimeng's thoughts were unknown, but Xu Fan was certainly not enjoying it.

The joy of having a harem was not so easy to enjoy.

"Alright, stop clinging."

Pulling his arm out from Miaomiao's embrace, Xu Fan then said, "Why leave? We are fighting on our home turf here; should we be afraid of the three of them?"

"But…"

"Silly girl..."

Seeing Guan Shimeng hesitate to speak, how could Xu Fan not guess her thoughts?

It was in her nature; mostly, she didn't want to cause too much trouble, to keep everyone happy.

However, she and the Trio were both streaming on Douyu, encountering each other every day.

Constantly retreating would not make the conflict disappear; it would only boost the other side's arrogance.

Moreover, the chance at this year's online Spring Festival Gala was extremely rare, and Xu Fan did not want Guan Shimeng to miss it.

"Just hang in there. If we're going to leave, we must wait until the details of the online Spring Festival Gala are settled."

Soon, the director in charge of this online Spring Festival Gala, Director Luo, would arrive. Xu Fan then soothed Guan Shimeng a bit and advised her to stay calm.

"Big Brother Qianfan, what does it mean to 'fight on one's own turf'?"

Miaomiao didn't quite understand what Xu Fan had just said and blinked her big eyes curiously as she asked.

"Well, it's quite simple."

Xu Fan curled the corner of his mouth and leaned close to Miaomiao's ear, whispering, "This Prosperous Dynasty, is mine."

"!"

After hearing his words, Miaomiao covered her mouth in surprise as if she had stumbled upon an earth-shattering secret.

There wasn't time to continue questioning as the door to the private room swung open, and Hando Nuanxu, who had gone out to receive someone, walked in.

Following closely behind him was a slightly plump man who was clearly the Douyu official, Director Luo.

"Welcome, Director Luo."

Without needing a reminder, seeing Director Luo enter, all the livestreamers promptly stood up and applauded to welcome him.

"Director Luo, you have to stand up for us!"

Before the crowd could start flattering him, a woman with a face full of grievance rushed towards Director Luo from behind the group.

"This..."

The woman who burst out was clearly the leader of the "Three Troublemakers" of Douyu. She didn't care about the gazes of the others and immediately nestled up against Director Luo.

Their closeness resembled that of a couple who had been married for many years.

"Alright, I just got here. What's the matter?"

Director Luo didn't show any displeasure at the intimacy shown by the "Three Troublemakers" leader; instead, it seemed somewhat normal to him.

Seeing this, everyone shivered.

This was bad.

The green tea bitch clearly had a complicated relationship with Director Luo; her rushing out was obviously to complain.

It was known that not a single person had stood up to help this woman when she was being beaten earlier.

One by one, everyone began to feel uneasy, worried about the possibility of being given a hard time in the future, while they all glanced over at Miaomiao and Xu Fan.

Fortunately, if trouble came, at least they would face it first.

With someone to back her up, the "Three Troublemakers" boss began to embellish her complaint, and listening to her, Xu Fan almost felt as if he was a tyrant who bullied men and women alike.

Sure enough, hearing the complaint, Director Luo's brows furrowed deeply.

He looked over at Hando Nuanxu with a steel-faced expression.

"What's going on here?"

Since Xu Fan wasn't one of the main livestreamers invited this time, and had publicly hit someone, even though Director Luo had no such personal ties with the "Three Troublemakers" boss, he still had to deal with the situation.

As the person in charge, Hando Nuanxu was directly questioned by Director Luo.

"This..."

Even though the "Three Troublemakers" leader had exaggerated a bit, Hando Nuanxu largely understood what had been discovered in the private room just now.

Biting the bullet while being questioned by Director Luo, he explained, "I'm sorry, Director, I think there has been a misunderstanding.

Xu Fan is my friend, and also Shimeng's friend. We invited him to join us for fun, and besides..."

At this point, Hando Nuanxu leaned in and whispered into Director Luo's ear, "He is Qianfan Guo."

Though he didn't want to reveal Xu Fan's identity, under the current circumstances, it was the only way Hando Nuanxu could think of to protect him.

"Is that so..."
