"Ah, is that ID Brother Ye? I never expected Brother Ye to be so good at gaming!"
"And he’s playing my favorite hero, Li Bai. Brother Ye is amazing, unlike me who’s so clumsy and can never play the jungler well."
"Li Bai bro, playing the jungler alone must be so tiring, bring Yao along~"
"Brother Ye’s moves are so awesome, feels like he’s even stronger than the KPL pros. Could Brother Ye be a hidden King-level master?"
"Maybe he’s some provincial-level Li Bai or national-level Li Bai or something?"
Just when Ye’s Fans thought this was merely a show-off video of King-level gameplay, a real-life cosplay of Li Bai appeared on the screen.
The young man descended clad in an exquisite red and white long robe, with shiny silver armor draped over his shoulders, and a long sword under his feet as he descended from the sky, his robe billowing, suave and debonair, tall and handsome with extraordinary looks, and behind him flew a snow-white phoenix with a crimson crown, emitting a long and piercing cry.
With a few cool flashes of the blade and sword, and the youngster’s unique, pure voice, a close-up of Ye Xian’s face slowly came into the frame.
"Phoenix, oh Phoenix, return to your native home; wander the four seas in search of your phoenix~"
"Ah, I’m so excited I’m fainting on the spot!"
"Too handsome, so handsome that my fallopian tubes are clear!"
"My baby! You’re coming after mommy’s life again in broad daylight, here you go, it’s all yours!"
"God, I really want to tie Brother Ye up and have him do a semi-permanent cosplay. Why is it always so stunning every time!"
"Sisters, just let me have Brother Ye, I’m almost menopausal!"
"I’m calling him husband first! Husband, husband, I’m your Zhaojun~"
"Brother really spoils his fans, knowing that Ye’s Fans are super into cosplay recently and fulfilling our wishes again! Being Ye’s Fans is simply too blissful ba."
"Doesn’t anyone notice that Brother Ye not only cosplayed the character perfectly but also copied the voice? Truly a treasure with all his talents."
"So handsome, I’m crying a storm. But I’m curious, baby, if you bought the whole set, why didn’t you buy the silver hair?"
She did buy it, only to find out after trying it on that she looked too much like a woman!
Although her makeup skills were decent, they weren’t sufficient to do male makeup like a professional makeup artist from a drama crew. Once she put on the wig, anyone could tell she was a woman.
When the twenty million fans’ perk was released, Ye’s Fans buzzed with excitement, liking and sharing all over, spurring the discussion with 82% of the fans’ activity rate and sending Ye Xian soaring to the trending searches.
#YeXianCosplayLiBaiPhoenixSeekingPhoenix# rose from the 45th to the 2nd place on the trending searches, not only exciting the fans but also astounding passersby and other fans who praised it in the comments. Ye Xian’s benefit Weibo post quickly exceeded 500,000 likes.
Zhu Ruijie was playing a game, feeling irritable and wanting to smash the keyboard when Weibo suddenly sent him a notification.
Ye Xian cosplays Li Bai Phoenix Seeking Phoenix?
He clicked to watch the video and after watching, begrudgingly cursed, "What a piece of crap! Doesn’t deserve to be on the trending searches!"
He was a signed Honor of Kings streamer on the Wolftooth APP, and had worked hard for over two years to accumulate over three million followers. However, the viewer numbers had been declining recently; he treated every arriving viewer like royalty and dared not retort when insulted, barely scraping by. And now, he saw a celebrity cavalierly posting a fake pentakill or cosplay video that garnered tens of millions of views and shot up to second place on the trending searches. It was infuriating!
Wait, maybe... he could ride this wave of popularity.
