On the other side, Lin Yifan ignored Ba Ge's pleas for mercy. Although Ba Ge looked miserable, those deserving pity often have hateful aspects, unworthy of sympathy.
"Bang!"
"Big brother, you have a generous heart, please let me off, I really don't want to live stream eating shit."
"Bang!"
"Big brother, you have a generous heart, please let me off, I really don't want to live stream eating shit."
...
After several kowtows and pleas for mercy, Ba Ge had kowtowed until his forehead was broken and trickles of fresh blood oozed out, making him look even more pitiful.
Every time Ba Ge forcefully knocked his head down, the onlookers couldn't help but flinch, clearly startled.
Gradually, their defenses were broken down, and many spoke up on Ba Ge's behalf.
"Young man, just let him go, he looks so pitiful."
"His forehead is already broken, he has truly realized his mistakes, just let him go!"
"Handsome guy, don't be so heartless, or you'll grow ugly."
"He has already apologized, and punishment has been dealt, do you really want to put him to death? After all, you are a special forces soldier! Can't you show some compassion?"
"Yeah, don't be so heartless."
...
Hearing these accusatory words, Lin Yifan felt like he was about to explode with anger and retorted, "In those years, what I learned on the battlefield was to be heartless. How could you people, living in the soft comforts of the city, understand the cruel life of a border soldier? I'll tell you, showing sympathy to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."
After Lin Yifan's scolding, everyone shuddered and fell silent.
Lin Yifan was a ruthless person, and they did not want to offend him; so it was best to stick to their own business.
While that matter had been dealt with, there was trouble brewing on the inside; Zhou Jiajia and the others really couldn't bear to watch anymore, so they too pleaded for Ba Ge.
"Yifan, how about..."
However, before they could finish speaking, Lin Yifan stopped them.
"Don't say anymore, I will not let him off."
Seeing the situation, the clever Xiao Fang suggested her own idea, "How about this? Punish him with something else. After all, he is already deeply embarrassed, comparable to eating shit. What do you think?"
She knew that when someone is angry, one should never persuade them to forgive the person who irritated them because it feels like a reprimand. She had followed by Bright True Master's side for so many years and knew this well.
As expected, upon hearing Xiao Fang's words, Lin Yifan suddenly changed his tune, "Alright then, get up! For my woman's sake, I'll spare you today. But while the death penalty can be avoided, the living punishment cannot be escaped. Get your underling to go to the supermarket and buy a few bags of dried chili peppers. Prepare to eat them on live stream, how about that? Any objections?"
"No objections! No objections! Anything but eating shit is fine," Ba Ge was overjoyed.
His ploy of self-inflicted pain had indeed worked, not wasting his strenuous performance.
However, to tell the truth, the injury on his forehead was real; and his forehead was indeed very painful now; but for someone like him who practiced street dance regularly, it was nothing. In street dance, there is a move that involves spinning upside down on one's head, so injuries to the head are inevitable.
Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing hadn't expected Lin Yifan to listen to Xiaofang's words instead of theirs, making them feel sour and uncomfortable inside.
However, they couldn't really blame Lin Yifan, after all, they only knew how to advise him, without considering his perspective or finding a comforting way to express their concerns.
The clever and witty Xiaofang made Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing feel a hint of threat; if things continued this way, Lin Yifan's heart would always lean toward Xiaofang, which would be disadvantageous for them.
"We shouldn't partake in palace intrigues—it's my fault for not doing well enough, for not understanding Lin Yifan's feelings, for not caring about him," they reflected.
The rational Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing suddenly realized their mistake and quickly abandoned that previous notion.
Such a situation was too frightening; without harmony in a big family, it would surely fall apart, and at that time, the one who might suffer the most could be Lin Yifan. Because he was the middleman, having to consider both sides.
After calming their emotions, they apologized to Lin Yifan together, "Yifan, we are sorry, just now we didn't mean to..."
"It's okay! You don't need to continue, I understand how you felt at that moment, and I don't blame you," Lin Yifan answered.
Just a moment ago, he had indeed felt a trace of disappointment in Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing. His women were not standing by his side but instead criticizing him, which was truly hateful.
But, being kind was not a sin. If Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing were malicious at heart, he definitely wouldn't like them, so he didn't blame Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing for pleading on Bah Ge's behalf, who had lost face and suffered an injury on his forehead.
Even though they had been forgiven, Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing were still burdened with heavy thoughts and not happy, because they felt that Lin Yifan was brushing them off; in fact, there were still resentments in his heart.
This matter could only be resolved after getting back.
On the other side, Bah Ge, who had been forgiven, had already sent his underling to the supermarket to buy dried hot peppers.
Being from the north, he had a high tolerance for spicy food, so live streaming an eating challenge with hot peppers felt like the lightest punishment for him.
Once the issue was perfectly resolved, the onlookers started to watch the spectacle again.
Some of them had only seen hot pepper eating contests on TV and had never witnessed anyone eating handfuls of hot peppers raw in real life, so they were very curious about the expressions and consequences the person would endure.
Before long, several bags of small red hot peppers were delivered to the scene.
At that moment, Lin Yifan took out his phone, extended the selfie stick, opened the DouTian TV live streaming app, logged in to his account, activated his stream, and started Bah Ge's live broadcast.
The stream was promoted to various recommended slots as soon as it went live, visible to a large audience. This was a privilege of Lin Yifan's stream, impressively explosive.
Lin Yifan's streaming theme for the day was "Crazy Badass Eats Hot Peppers Live, Challenging the Guinness Record, Come and Watch!"
With such an attractive title, the audience count immediately reached ten thousand, a number that continued to soar rapidly as time went by.
Bah Ge hadn't expected Lin Yifan to actually have a live stream room, and it seemed to be quite popular at that, with a subscription count of over ten million, astoundingly terrifying.
Now, he truly was on display before a million viewers, instantly becoming an "internet celebrity."
Fortunately, it wasn't live streaming something as disgusting as eating feces, otherwise, his name would have "become infamous."
The live stream had already started, and the audience was already shooting off barrages of comments on the other side of the screen; Bah Ge hurriedly ordered his underling to steady the selfie stick while he quickly opened the bag and stuffed a handful of dried hot peppers into his mouth, chewing away.
It was bearable until he started chewing; as soon as he did, the spiciness of the dried hot peppers kicked in, leaving him choked up with tears streaming down his face.
