Observing her post, annoyance grew within Jinli. The initial uproar was huge between both fans and anti-fans, with her retweets soaring higher by the second. As time passed, people lost interest.
Flipping through the comments, she realised that many onlookers shared similar sentiments with the anti-fans. They had no interest in these “playthings” and could not be bothered to retweet it. Of course, some shared the post for the sake of it.
Jinli’s eyes almost popped out in disbelief. These ignorant humans were looking down on her prize!
Ignorant philistines!
Such lowly eyes for treasures!
Her Good Luck Charms were priceless even in the Heavens, it was a gem amongst jewels. These savages had actually dared looked down on them!
Red hot magma exploded within her. Immediately, she lashed out online.
@AhJinLisAKoi: “Do not look down on these Charms. If not for my fans, I would never take them out. Whoever called them trash, lies and playthings, I just have 1 thing to say to you. You can give up any hope of receiving my prizes for the rest of your lives.”
Within moments, her nasty temperament took the net by storm. Anti fans seized the opportunity, spreading rumours of her disgusting attitude towards fans and whatnot.
Yet, did Jinli care? Obviously not. In the first place, she was not attempting to build any warm, gentle persona. Heck, she did not even consider herself part of the entertainment scene!
As she glared at the screen, her breath got heavier and heavier. Every wheeze was packed full of her fury. The lashing out did not calm her down at all.
Some time later, she realised something revolutionary. Why did she, the Almighty Koi Goddess Jinli, even bother to lower herself and get mad over some mere humans?
Whatever. When the time comes, the people who received these Charms will see the effects. Then, these haters will understand that I meant by Jinli is A Koi.
Still, it remained incredibly maddening. Jinli stormed into her walk-in wardrobe and stood in front of her humongous floor-to-ceiling mirror. Here, she stared and admired her exceedingly beautiful figure for a good long while.
Hmm… My skin has gotten much more soft and white than when I first arrived! Oh? This area between my eyes is starting to look more like mine!
No doubt about this! My already enchanting self is definitely getting more and more gorgeous.
As she admired herself more, joy sprouted and bloomed within her, eradicating any strand of anger left within.
Alas, beauty truly made a person happy.
…
For the next few days, Jinli threw a tantrum. She suppressed herself and refused to log into Weibo till the lucky draw day. On the day, a shock burst over her the instant her Weibo opened. Her fan count had skyrocketed and a flood of notifications crashed on her.
What is happening?
She quickly scrolled through the site and realised her fan count had actually risen by a jaw-dropping few hundred thousand.
What’s more, not only did her lucky draw event get into the hot searches, it eventually became the leading few search!
Needless to say, the searches’ content was not a good one. It was about her being stingy and also mentioning her rude attitude to her fans.
At the same time, another thing contributed to this uproar. It was her confirmed attendance on << Survival on the Inhabited Island >>.
Her name was explicitly written on the invited guest list. Making this worse, her name’s close proximity with that of Lu Qingyuan. Be it intentional or unintentional, it was a fodder for rumours and scandals!
Unbelievable!
A colossal number of anti-fans took turns at lashing out on Jinli’s Weibo.
They questioned the show’s production team. They scolded Jinli for pulling strings behind the scene. They slandered her innocence and called her a slut for attempting to exploit and hook up with Lu Qingyuan. Many even made clear their intentions of “paying her family a visit”.
Most sickening, an anti-fan named TheSpotCryingintheWind did the inconceivable. A black and white image of Jinli, emulating her funeral, was posted on his Weibo.
Looking at that death threat, Jinli did not know what to say. She had been accepting of everything up until then as Bai Jinli had already been mired in insults and scandals. Despite that, this had crossed the line by way too much.
Turning a blind eye to every other comment, she tagged this netizen individually.
@TheSpotCryingintheWind: There is a God above watching us. Living as Humans, we have to accumulate good karma. Just because this is the internet, it does not validate your outlandish behaviour. You will have to take responsibility for whatever you say one day.
When TheSpotCryingintheWind saw this, he shrugged it off. Worse still, he had the mind to go out for a BBQ.
