Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Can This Really Be Broadcast?
“`
Suddenly, Jiang Li’s livestream room was packed with people, and the barrage of comments got unprecedentedly lively, scrolling non-stop with new messages.
[I came from Weibo’s trending topics, is Master Jiang really that awesome? Can she even predict someone’s contacts list?]
[Wow, I thought it was some kind of witch, but when I clicked in, it turned out to be a beautiful girl?? I’m shocked.]
[?? Isn’t Jiang Li that heiress of the Jiang Group that deals with maritime transport? Since when did she switch to fortune-telling?]
[Sister Li, Sister Li, look at me! Look at me! Help me figure out if there’s something wrong with my boyfriend!]
[Right, can Lili do a livestream to calculate for us too? We want to bask in the glory as well.]
Lu Xingchao watched the number of viewers skyrocket, and he got excited too.
He knew that his treasure of a goddess would be discovered one day!
So he struck while the iron was hot and quickly promoted Jiang Li’s fan support group.
In no time, the 500-member group was full.
Lu Xingchao directly spent money to expand the group to a capacity of 5,000 members and also partnered with Shiguang and Kang Bazi to open a second group.
Then, following the old chairman’s wishes, he set up group rules and alerted all the ordinary people to go to Jiang Li’s livestream room to manage the comments.
Because he noticed that although most people were marvelling at Jiang Li’s superb fortune-telling skills, there were still many who were mixing in doubts about her abilities, even bringing up her past scandals.
In Chixia Village, after learning the full situation, Aunt Lin went through an emotional rollercoaster, but more than that, she felt heartache for her daughter’s experiences.
After thanking Jiang Li, she hurried home to tell her husband about it and, by the way, to join him in visiting their daughter in the city.
Thankfully, Jiang Li gave her a dose of calm by saying that Xu Ling would meet her true love next year, and the two of them would be a perfect match, living happily ever after.
The village aunties who witnessed the whole process became even more excited.
If she could predict even this, what else could this girl be if not an immortal descended to earth?
The last auntie who drew the long handle became even more excited, she squeezed to the very front of the crowd and raised the handle, saying:
“Master, Master, don’t forget me, I’ve got something to ask too!”
Seeing the long handle in her hand, the others couldn’t help but show their envy.
Why didn’t they have such good luck!
[Another one’s up, I’ve got my sunflower seeds and cola ready, what kind of drama will it be this time?]
[Wasn’t I watching a shape-shifting variety show? How did it suddenly turn into a major gossip hub? But I must say, it’s so thrilling to watch!]
[Can Flash Change add a tipping feature, please? I want to donate 66666 so Sister Li can read my fortune too.]
[OMG, I just came over from Weibo, Lili’s Weibo comment section has been taken over, so many people asking for fortunes to be told, I didn’t expect even more people in the livestream, I’m shocked.]
[Sister Li is the best! My treasured daughter has finally been discovered, sob sob sob, a beautiful girl with upright principles, who loves reading and can tell fortunes, becoming a fan is absolutely worth it!]
While some rejoiced, others felt pangs of jealousy. Outside the screen, Su Yinwan’s fans were grinding their teeth in frustration.
They had been prepared for Jiang Li to crash and burn and were spamming negative comments in the barrage.
But unexpectedly, the more they posted, the more support she received.
“`
“Don’t be fooled by the trending searches! It’s obvious that Jiang Li scripted this in advance, okay! Have you all forgotten how she bullied Wenwen before?”
“Jiang Li is just a punk! And you believe what she says? Calling her ‘Master’ and all that, it’s so embarrassing just to watch.”
“If Jiang Li was really that great, why would she even be on a variety show? Why not just open a shop and make a fortune fortune-telling for the wealthy?”
The barrage in the live broadcast room was still erupting endlessly, but Jiang Li remained calm and collected.
She looked at the person holding the long handle and nodded, “Go ahead, what do you want to know?”
The aunt swallowed.
Compared to Aunt Lin, who had a more outstanding demeanor and appearance, she looked much more plain, with a round face and plump body. Her cheeks were deep red, whether from excitement or something else.
“Well, Master, you can just call me Aunt Ying. The thing I came to ask about…” Aunt Ying looked around and glanced at the camera next to Jiang Li before she leaned in closer and whispered, “I suspect there’s something unclean near my house!”
Camera man: !!!
Director Sun, eavesdropping: !!! This is getting more and more ridiculous, should he stop it now?
Audience in the live broadcast room: !!!
“Oh my god, something unclean??? Is that for real? Don’t scare people in broad daylight.”
“I didn’t believe in these things, but after watching Sister Li’s entire fortune-telling process, even I, a staunch materialist, have started to waver, so… there couldn’t really be that, right???”
“Help, can this part really be broadcast? It won’t get banned by officials afterward, will it?”
“Stay calm, it’s not that exaggerated. Whether there’s something spooky or not is another matter. These days, there are more and more fortune-tellers and ghost hunters on major live streaming platforms, as long as they don’t cause trouble, the officials won’t ban it.”
Hearing this, even the usually relaxed brow of Jiang Li furrowed.
Well-versed in Yin Yang Theory and mysticism, she certainly understood that there were things in the world beyond common human understanding.
She had even watched her master expel such spirits before.
But that had been several hundred years ago. The modern social order was stable and the Yin and Yang energy fields were balanced; ordinarily these spirits wouldn’t easily cause havoc, as they too didn’t want to be discovered by humans and get into trouble.
Seeing the contemplative look on Jiang Li’s face, Aunt Ying’s already unsettled heart grew even more anxious.
“Master, there really isn’t that… thing, right? Don’t scare me.”
Jiang Li looked up, with a slight smile, “Why don’t you tell me what happened?”
“Holy shit, Jiang Li actually didn’t deny the existence of that thing?? Does that mean….”
“Aaaaa, I’m getting goosebumps in broad daylight.”
“Damn, I’m too scared to watch. There can’t really be something ominous, right?”
Aunt Ying swallowed, organized her thoughts, and then whispered softly:
“Actually, I started feeling something was off a month ago. My house is at the back of the village, close to the mountain crevices, so it’s quite desolate around there. But our village has always been peaceful, and there’s never been any talk of anything strange. Plus, we’ve lived here for decades, so I didn’t think much of it.”
“But a month ago, our dog Lai Fu began barking non-stop every night. We couldn’t sleep because it was so noisy, and when we went to look, it was even more bizarre—he was barking at the base of the wall of our house, the one shared with the neighbors’.”
“But…” Aunt Ying’s face visibly paled, “the neighbors moved to the city years ago, their house has been empty for a long time, nothing’s there. Why would Lai Fu bark at it?”
“A few nights ago, I was so disturbed by the dog’s noise that I got up in the middle of the night to see what he was barking at. And then I actually heard coughing sounds from the other side of the wall, intermittent and hoarse. It scared the hell out of me… I’ve been too afraid to close my eyes for several nights, but my husband just says I’m talking nonsense. Master, you’re the only one who can help me now.”
What do you think?
