Chapter 1230: Viewing Mode
Chapter 1230: Viewing Mode
While Floral Witch came to a slow halt after learning that the purchase of the next episode was $3, the same goes for many others.
Although many cursed at the pricing, they ultimately gritted their teeth and paid $3.
Such a price was equivalent to a pizza slice, so they could still afford it.
But overall, the reason still stemmed from the fact that they found the short drama’s quality to be very high.
From the lighting to the costume, everything was clearly prepared with care.
It was a total far cry from the mass short drama, which emphasized quantity over quality. The drama was either a remake or another lackluster brain-rot script where all the characters were dumb.
Some even wondered if their intelligence would go down from watching ridiculous plotlines.
"Ugh, the Vanguard Guild clearly put in a lot of effort in the script!"
"I know, right. That Young Master Du’s character is so pitiful. I can see my shadow within him."
"Tell me about it. I have a crush whom I wanted to protect, but they just refused me and went to a bastard."
"Oh, shut up. I bet that bastard has money, and you’ve got none. But Xiao Ying is different. She didn’t care for money. I also want someone like Xiao Ying in my life. I was born in the wrong era!"
As the comment section in the first episode exploded, many users started listing their intent to purchase the next episode.
To wait for tomorrow’s episode to come was something they really couldn’t afford to do.
The fan service was attractive, but the acting and plotline were what ensnared them.
Just like that, many people began purchasing the second episode as they watched it.

Second Episode: Return of the Young Master Feng
Xu Clan Mansion—Vanguard Clan Mansion
As Xu Feng still carried Ding Xiao Ying in his arms, his eyes glanced at the mansion’s title. It was of the Xu Clan, but now had the Vanguard Clan layered on top of it.
"Don’t be sad, Young Master." Ding Xiao Ying wrapped her arms tighter around his neck. "Xiao Ying will never abandon you even if the clan’s name has changed."
"I know..." Xu Feng lightly said.
"The Xu Clan or Vanguard Clan whatnot. It doesn’t matter what kind of title there is. As long as the people I care about are present, nothing else matters."
Ding Xiao Ying blushed slightly. Still, she advised him, "Young Master, you should put me down now. Otherwise, the people will gossip about you."
"Gossip? Who was the one who twisted their ankles and had me carried all the way from the mountain?" Xu Feng mused and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Didn’t you tell that useless Du that you belong to me. Are you trying to go back on your words now?"
"Even if the sky falls down, Xiao Ying will never go back on her words."
Having said that, Ding Xiao Ying quickly returned the gesture and kissed his face multiple times, just slightly avoiding the lips.
"The two of you are really something else!" Right at this moment, an angry voice echoed from behind. "Engaged to my Miss and still dare to behave so frivolously in public! Are you trying to shame our Sheng Clan?"
"The Sheng Clan?" Confused, Xu Feng turned around and spotted a beautiful woman dressed in ancient clothing.
The camera even gave a 360-degree angle viewing of the ethereal and graceful appearance of Li Sheng Xuan.
Li Sheng Xuan’s expression was calm and collected, but a visible trace of anger could be seen in her eyes when she gazed at Xu Feng and Ding Xiao Ying.
End of the second episode...

When the collective audience got up to this point and got a cliffhanger once again, their expression turned extremely ugly.
"What the fuck is wrong with the Vanguard Guild??!"
"You gave me such a beautiful view of Goddess Sheng Xuan and ended it like that?"
"Gosh, this is so infuriating! Xu Feng not only kissed Xiao Ying repeatedly, but his fiancée also came up. Do you even want to let us live?"
As the majority of the viewers cried aloud in pain, unable to access the next episode due to low VIP level or having no membership in the required steps, elsewhere, some others were more fortunate.
"Good thing I have all the requirements to continue the next episode." Floral Witch heaved a sigh of relief, her hand clicked on episode 3.
The sigh of relief soon turned to rage when she was met with a paywall again.
"Another 3 dollars? You might as well let me unlock the episodes in a bundle!" She slammed her palm heavily on the desk.
"I know, right!" Azalea munched on some chips and chimed in. What was the most disgusting part when watching a drama?
Being repeatedly interrupted by ads!
However, they were paying viewers! To be interrupted by the paywall constantly would ruin their immersion.
"Miss, just unlock all the episodes at once," Azalea suggested.
By unlocking them all, they wouldn’t need to keep facing the paywall.
"You think I haven’t tried that?" Enraged, Floral Witch resisted the urge to smack her. "The next episode won’t even let me unlock it unless I watch the latest episode."
"..."
Azalea went into a daze. ’Was the Vanguard Guild trying to earn money or piss off the viewers to drop the drama as a whole?’
While she held such a thought, back at the Oasis Hotel, Carmen also found herself struggling with this setup.
"Feng, are you trying to irritate me?" Carmen clicked her tongue. She was also in episode 2 and faced the paywall prompt.
"I’m innocent, Carmen." Xu Feng scratched his head and explained, "You’re watching it as a regular guest. You didn’t even change your viewing mode."
"Viewing mode?"
"Here, let me help you."
In the blink of an eye, Carmen was enlightened about the viewing mode.
