Live Streaming Food Stall… But in Dog-Blooded Novels – CH121

Chapter 121

Learning from past mistakes, the Multiverse Live Streaming Company chose to be extremely cautious when “transporting” Boss Jian this time.

One piece of evidence was their decision to abandon the Multiverse Shuttle.

…They absolutely couldn’t give that stall-obsessed maniac Boss Jian another chance to smash a window and escape.

The second piece of evidence was the location where Gong Siyuan and Ning Sheng were currently stationed.

The Multiverse Company selected the top floor of their headquarters—the most classified address—as Boss Jian’s first landing point in the Multiverse dimension.

Unlike last time, only Gong Siyuan and Ning Sheng were waiting at the transition endpoint to greet Boss Jian. Gong Siyuan was the general manager of the Dogblood Novel Transmigration Division, and it was standard procedure for her to welcome hosts who had just completed their challenges. Her presence here was expected.

As for Ning Sheng… it was because one of the key conditions in his negotiations with the Multiverse Live Streaming Company was that he would personally meet Boss Jian again.

There was no live broadcast here, nor were any media outlets allowed to report from the scene. Even partners and talent agencies were restricted to the conference room downstairs.

All of this was to minimize the possibility of any unexpected incidents.

“Given his personality, if he saw so many people—sponsors, agencies, and fans—lying in wait, he’d definitely look for another chance to escape.”

Although Gong Siyuan had never met Jian Yunlan in person, her numerous virtual interactions with him had given her some insight into his character. “After all, the only thing he wants to do is run his stall…”

Every host who arrived in the Multiverse dimension was, without exception, required to participate in commercial activities.

Things like shooting ads, promotional events, fan meet-and-greets—and now, many entertainment companies had already extended lucrative offers to Boss Jian, hoping to recruit him for variety shows or films.

It wasn’t unheard of for hosts to abandon transmigration challenges altogether and switch careers to become celebrities.

“Do you think Boss Jian would switch to being a celebrity?” Gong Siyuan asked Ning Sheng.

“No,” Ning Sheng replied flatly.

“I didn’t think so either,” Gong Siyuan chuckled. “He’s just that kind of person…”

Suddenly, a faint click sounded from behind the wooden door.

Gong Siyuan and Ning Sheng immediately fell silent.

At first, they thought it was their imagination.

But the next second, two clearer clicks came from behind the door again.

As if someone was knocking.

“…” Gong Siyuan checked her watch—the hands pointed precisely to 12:00. “It’s time. It must be Host Jian.”

She wiped her sweaty palms, nervous yet excited.

Hearing this, Ning Sheng abruptly stood up, his hands clenched tightly.

Tap tap, tap tap tap.

The knocking grew more urgent.

Gong Siyuan didn’t hesitate any longer. She stepped forward.

After taking a few deep breaths, she pulled open the door, simultaneously flashing a flawless smile:

“Hello, Host Jian. I’m Gong Siyuan, general manager of the Dogblood Novel Transmigration Division at Multiverse Live Streaming Company. Here’s my business card—Holy shit?! Where is he???”

Behind the open door, there was no sign of the expected figure. Instead—

Darkness.

Staring at the empty void behind the door, Gong Siyuan felt a chill run down her spine.

For a moment, her heart rate skyrocketed to 200.

No… did he escape again? But how? This was top-tier spatial transition technology—even with the Taotie’s help, there was no way Jian Yunlan could interfere with the transition process!

Had something gone wrong somewhere…?

This was bad, bad, bad. If Boss Jian slipped away to another dimension again this time, Ning Sheng would probably actually kill her!

Gong Siyuan’s mind raced. Just as she frantically scanned the surroundings, she suddenly heard a crisp voice:

“Hello, I’m Jian Yunlan.”

Gong Siyuan: “?”

Following the voice, her gaze slowly lowered.

Down, down…

Finally, at about knee height, she spotted two small figures.

Two little boys.

Gong Siyuan didn’t immediately see the one who had spoken because…

A silver-haired boy stood protectively in front of the other, his face full of vigilance, his eyes burning with anger!

The silver-haired boy wore his long hair in a high ponytail. His dark golden pupils gleamed, and he was dressed in a miniature Warring States-era robe with ox-bone shoulder armor. Faint Taotie markings adorned his face.

Though the markings should have looked imposing, on his round, snow-white cheeks, they only added a touch of childish charm.

Looking up at Gong Siyuan, the boy snorted arrogantly:

“Who are you? How dare you not kneel in the presence of this lord?!”

Gong Siyuan: “…”

Well, there was no need to ask who he was.

That tone, that look—who else could it be but the Taotie?!

If the boy in front was the Taotie, then the one behind him must be…

“Taotie, don’t be rude,” the other boy’s voice chimed in from behind the silver-haired child.

As he spoke, he peeked out.

Gong Siyuan couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

Even so, she barely stifled a gasp.

—Before her stood a little boy wearing a floral-patterned apron.

His large, round eyes sparkled, so dark they seemed almost blue. His chubby cheeks gave him an adorably polite demeanor. In one hand, he held a spatula; in the other, a lotus lantern, inside which a tiny fox dozed off.

Jian Yunlan’s looks were already otherworldly, but because he was too handsome, it made him seem a bit unapproachable. Now that he was a child, his stunning features were softened by youthful innocence, making him appear much more endearing.

And that uniquely earnest smile of a street food vendor on his face—

It was so heart-meltingly adorable!

Though she had seen it countless times through the livestream camera, witnessing the three-and-a-half-year-old version of Boss Jian in person still left Gong Siyuan so excited she nearly lost her words.

…He’s just too cute!!!!!!

Especially Taotie and Jian Yunlan—silver hair and black hair, tsundere and sweet—standing side by side, the two little ones were an absolute feast for the eyes.

At this moment, Gong Siyuan finally understood those frenzied, passionate fans.

—Because Boss Jian had accidentally been transported into the Genius Baby, Age Three and a Half division and shrunk, the tens of thousands of long-time viewers missed most of his livestreams in that section. They could only rewatch the recorded broadcasts over and over, reluctantly clinging to what they had, while frantically flooding the Multiverse Live Streaming Company with complaint letters.

Damn you, Multiverse Company! How dare you make us miss such an adorable Boss Jian selling roast duck live?!

If Gong Siyuan were one of Jian Yunlan’s longtime viewers, she’d probably want to flip the entire Multiverse Live Streaming Company upside down for screwing up this badly.

Thinking of this, Gong Siyuan—the one who had screwed up—felt a pang of guilt. Maybe I should sneak out later and avoid people…

“Ahem, ahem.” Gong Siyuan bent down. Even though she knew both of them were adults, she couldn’t help but put on a warm, indulgent smile and speak in a coaxing tone, “Truly, seeing is believing! Little… no, Host Jian and Lord Taotie, you both have such extraordinary presence.”

“I’m Gong Siyuan, general manager of the Dogblood Novel Division at Multiverse Live Streaming Company.”

As she spoke, she handed over her business card.

Hearing this, Jian Yunlan instinctively put on the polite yet weary smile of a corporate drone and accepted it. “Pleasure to meet you.”

Gong Siyuan then turned slightly to introduce the person behind her. “As for the one behind me, you’ve both met him before—Ning Sheng from the Obsessive Possession dimension—”

It was then that she realized something was off.

Silence.

Too silent.

This was the moment Ning Sheng had been waiting for so long—the chance to see Boss Jian again. Shouldn’t he have rushed forward the second the door opened?

But from the very beginning, Ning Sheng behind her had remained completely silent, eerily quiet.

Just as Gong Siyuan’s suspicion peaked—

BANG—THUD!

A deafening noise suddenly erupted from behind her.

Holy shit, what was that?!

Gong Siyuan, Taotie, Jian Yunlan, and even Hu Danggui inside the lotus lantern all turned toward the source of the sound in shock:

Upon seeing the two tiny figures emerge from behind the door, Ning Sheng clutched his nose and toppled straight backward.

From his nostrils gushed two waterfall-like streams of blood…

“S-so… cute…”

After collapsing, Ning Sheng twitched twice in the pool of blood, then tilted his head, a serene smile spreading across his face.

He stopped moving entirely.

Jian Yunlan: “…”

Gong Siyuan: “…………”

Oh no.

Ning Sheng, this useless man, had actually fainted from sheer cuteness overload!

Alarm bells blared in Gong Siyuan’s head as she took in the unconscious Ning Sheng. Apologizing quickly to Jian Yunlan and the others, she whipped out her phone and dialed emergency services. “Hello? Medical team? We’re on the top floor of the company—Ning Sheng’s had an episode. Emergency assistance may be required.”

Half a minute later.

A door opened in the vast darkness.

A medical team in white coats rushed in urgently. “Where’s the patient? Take us there!”

At a critical moment like this, no one cared about anything else—saving lives came first.

Seeing the medical team arrive, the little boy in the floral apron immediately sprang up and ran forward to guide them. “This way, follow me!”

The doctors quickly followed.

Behind the medical team, Mango Entertainment’s agent, Little D, had also donned a white coat, discreetly blending into the group. She had come on a whim, her intuition telling her there might be a big scoop. Before entering the elevator, she had quietly attached a live-streaming camera to her sleeve.

But Little D never expected the payoff to come so quickly.

Watching the familiar tiny figure leading the way ahead—

…Little D stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

“Oh my god… it can’t really be him, can it?” Her lips trembled slightly as she muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile, the scene before her was being broadcast live across the entire Multiverse dimension through the miniature camera on her sleeve—

The world fell into silence.

That one second stretched endlessly long.

…In the Multiverse Company’s conference room, agents and CEOs from various talent agencies widened their eyes, abruptly standing up and rushing toward the door.

…Outside the company building, the sea of fans holding up light boards erupted into screams.

…In the Multiverse livestream, hundreds of thousands of viewers who had been drooling over reruns of Boss Jian selling roast duck covered their mouths in shock—

Countless voices burst into the same ecstatic cry:

“Boss! Jian!!!”

He’s here—he’s really here in the Multiverse dimension!!!
