"Seventh Brother, the merit really came back!"
"Wuwu, Seventh Brother, you're amazing! Yao Yao loves you so much!"
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
With the fragrant merit safely in her palm, Yao Yao was no longer upset. She stretched out her chubby little arms and gave her brother a bear hug.
Gu Yu, afraid his sister might fall, quickly supported her back with his hand and smiled. "I'm glad you found it."
If his little sister had kept crying, their family would have rushed over, and before he could explain, he would have been scolded.
Yao Yao happily opened the jade gourd hanging from her waist. She had recently looked up information and learned that ordinary containers couldn't hold merit—only flawless jade could.
Coincidentally, among the treasures her grandmother had given her was a jade gourd, which Yao Yao had picked out and hung on her waist. She hadn't expected it to come in handy so soon.
Gu Yu couldn't see the merit, so he didn't fully understand his sister's actions. He glanced at the live stream, and in just the short time they had been playing around, the number of viewers had skyrocketed to hundreds of thousands.
[Ahhhh, the master is live! Grabbing a front-row seat!]
[Seeing this live stream get tagged by the official police account twice feels like a dream. Who dares call this a script now? What kind of family has the clout to get the Beijing Police to play along?]
[But, as accurate as the master's predictions are, the people involved really do suffer.]
The dense barrage of comments and the rapid increase in viewers startled Gu Yu. For a moment, he felt like he had become an overnight sensation.
"Yao Yao, should we... keep streaming?"
Gu Yu looked over awkwardly. Initially, he had just wanted to help his sister test the mechanism of merit distribution.
He had planned to end the stream after the test, but in the blink of an eye, things had gotten out of hand. He wondered if it was too late to shut it down now.
Since the microphone was still on, the live stream audience caught Gu Yu's hesitation. So, this wasn't an intentional broadcast?
[Young master, please don't shut it down! Once it's on, keep it on. What's there to fear?]
[Master, save the suffering! Please help a few destined souls escape their misery!]
[If you know how to talk, keep talking. We love hearing it!]
Given the enthusiasm, if he shut the stream down now, these people would probably flood his Weibo until it crashed.
Gu Yu's face showed clear frustration. He really wanted to yell at the netizens—this live stream wasn't something he could just casually run! He didn't know the first thing about fortune-telling!
Yao Yao, however, looked over at him. Her little face was still beaming with joy from her successful merit collection, her tiny tiger teeth adding a playful charm.
"Of course, we should keep streaming!"
This was an opportunity to earn some "food" (merit). How could they let it slip away? Her words made Gu Yu breathe a sigh of relief, grateful that his Weibo was temporarily safe.
"Did you hear that? Our master says we're staying live!"
Gu Yu glanced at the live stream, speaking with newfound confidence. The chat erupted in cheers.
During this time, Gu Yu quickly set up the screen projection and handled the necessary arrangements before calling his sister over.
"Same rules as before? Three readings?" Gu Yu tilted his head to look at her.
"Mm-hmm." Yao Yao nodded without hesitation.
She didn't plan to do more than three readings because, before speaking, she could sense a subtle warning from the heavens.
The old Taoist had told her not to easily defy the rules of heaven and earth, or something bad might happen.
"Then let's begin!" Gu Yu didn't ask further. He ignored the comments begging for more readings and initiated the first round of the lottery for the reading slots.
Yao Yao adjusted her little bun hairstyle and sat up straight, her dark, sparkling eyes fixed on the screen.
The first participant quickly connected.
Since this wasn't their first live stream, some enthusiastic netizens had written out the fortune-telling process. Gu Yu found it accurate and pinned it to the top of the chat. So, whether it was someone's first time in the stream or not, they didn't need to ask if they could turn on their video—they could just read the pinned instructions.
[Hahaha, here we go! Let's welcome today's first unlucky soul, making a grand entrance!]
[Let me see what kind of drama we're in for today.]
The saying "bad things come in threes" had long been surpassed in this live stream. The number of participants who ended up in trouble had far exceeded that.
Thus, anyone selected in the live stream was now affectionately nicknamed an "unlucky soul," a running gag in the stream.
This time, the selected participant was a girl with the username "Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps." Her face was pale, with dark circles under her eyes, likely from lack of sleep. She looked utterly exhausted.
Her appearance clearly indicated she was dealing with some serious trouble, which immediately piqued the interest of the viewers.
As expected, being a "chosen one" wasn't easy. This was probably another unlucky soul.
"Big sister, what would you like to ask about?"
Yao Yao greeted her politely, even smiling to show her little white teeth, trying to appear friendly.
Her adorable demeanor made Gu Yu's fingers itch with the urge to pinch her cheeks, but he held back. After all, they were in the middle of a fortune-telling session, and he didn't want to interrupt.
Hearing Yao Yao's question, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps forced herself to perk up and nodded in response. "Hello, little master."
At first, she had been shocked by the master's young age, but after seeing the accuracy of the predictions, she no longer underestimated Yao Yao and instead felt a deep respect.
After all, some prodigies simply couldn't be explained by normal logic.
"Little master, I'd like to ask if... I'm being haunted by something unclean."
Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps spoke slowly.
She had seen the netizens' teasing comments in the chat, but she wasn't angry. Recently, she had indeed been plagued by misfortune, unable to sleep through the night, tormented by constant nightmares.
She fit the description of an "unlucky soul" perfectly!
However, her words stunned the live stream audience.
[Whoa, starting off with something this intense?]
[Given the current tone of the stream, I feel like we're going to get banned frequently. I wonder if we'll still have fun content to watch in the future.]
[Don't worry about the future; we'll cross that bridge when we get there.]
This was the first time a participant had openly admitted to encountering something supernatural. Previously, it had always been the master who pointed it out, with the participants initially disbelieving before being convinced by irrefutable evidence.
Now, with the participant openly acknowledging it, the story took an intriguing turn, and the live stream chat exploded with discussions.
Yao Yao hadn't expected the big sister to ask this. She paused for a moment, scanning the woman's face, and indeed, she noticed something unusual. However, she didn't say it outright, as she needed to confirm it with the woman's experiences.
So, she asked in her sweet, childish voice, "Big sister, can you tell me more about your situation?"
"Of course." Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps had come seeking answers and had no reason to refuse. She nodded.
Then, she began to recount the strange occurrences she had experienced, detailing everything that had happened.
