Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Great Black Buddha Mother

Her daughter’s entire body was covered in rotting flesh and strange talismans. Her eyes were closed, and she was sitting cross-legged, looking like she was cultivating.

Li Ruonan lowered her voice and said, “It’s nighttime now. Try not to startle her, or there’s no telling what strange things she’ll do. I’m truly terrified of her.”

“Streamer, please take a look. Is my daughter possessed by something evil?”

Shen Zhiyao nodded. “She’s possessed by a deity. The Great Black Buddha Mother is currently possessing her.”

[HOLY SHIT! Look at the talismans on that girl, they’re so creepy! Anyone else feeling this? I’m so scared, but I can’t stop watching!]

[She looks terrifying. There’s no way she’s possessed by a deity! Isn’t the Great Black Buddha Mother supposed to be a benevolent god? Why is it so scary when she possesses someone?!]

[I feel like I’m building up my courage. I can actually bring myself to peek at what happens next through my fingers!]

[The Great Black Buddha Mother isn’t the scariest part. That ghost, Susu, was way scarier. As for Granny Xunzi, I just felt sorry for her, I wasn’t scared at all.]

[The supernatural incidents on this stream usually have a touching side to them. They make you feel sympathetic, so don’t be scared, everyone!]

Just then, the daughter on the bed whipped her head around and gave a horrifyingly creepy smile, startling her mother so badly that she scrambled to shut the door.

Even through the screen, that horrifying expression was enough to make a slew of viewers cry in fear.

[HOLY CRAP! Her expression is terrifying! It’s making my heart pound. There’s no way a 15-year-old can make a face like that!]

[I’m screwed. Every time I close my eyes, I see that horrible smiling face.]

[Ewww~ It’s so creepy I’ve got goosebumps all over. Who was it that said the ghosts on this stream aren’t scary?!]

[I just asked my mom if I could sleep in her room tonight and she kicked me out. Waaah, this is seriously so scary…]

[It’s scary but I can’t wait to see what’s next. This is such a rush.]

Seeing these comments, Li Ruonan became even more distraught and desperately begged the streamer to save her daughter.

“Your daughter’s situation is rather complex, but it can be resolved. It’s just…”

Before she could finish, the livestream suddenly ended.

At first, Shen Zhiyao thought it was a connection issue, but she quickly saw a system notification pop up: [Your account has been suspended for suspected violations!]

Shen Zhiyao: “…”

She closed her eyes and focused her senses for a moment, then realized that the bamboo stalk she had infused with Spiritual Power had already withered.

’This means… Jin Fan is in trouble.’

Since she had promised to keep him out of harm’s way for the time being, Shen Zhiyao had no intention of going back on her word.

「Before long, she appeared at the hospital.」

Jin Fan was still in the intensive care unit. Through the glass, she could see him completely wrapped in bandages like a mummy, with only a lock of his green hair sticking out.

Strangely, despite Jin Fan’s condition, there wasn’t a single person at the hospital looking after him.

It was the middle of the night, so the hospital was nearly empty.

Shen Zhiyao made no attempt at a disguise, walking brazenly into the hospital.

Jin Fan was still in a coma, and the hospital had already issued a critical condition notice.

If he didn’t make it through the night, he would likely end up in a vegetative state. Even if he did wake up, he would be permanently disabled.

All in all, whether he woke up or not, the outlook was grim.

In truth, Jin Fan was aware of his surroundings.

He sensed footsteps approaching and tried to open his eyes, wondering if his father had arrived. But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t open his eyes or move his body.

He desperately wanted to sit up, but his body was completely beyond his control. The sensation was like being nailed shut inside a coffin: suffocating and terrifying.

“Jin Fan, Jin Fan, are you all right?”

A cool, clear female voice reached him, bringing with it a strange sense of reassurance.

He felt the voice was very familiar, yet he couldn’t recall who it belonged to.

“Jin Fan! Jin Fan! Jin Fan!”

He remembered. It was Shen Zhiyao.

The name sparked a question in his mind:

’Ancestress… what’s wrong with me? Why can I sense everything but can’t move? Is this sleep paralysis?’

“No… It’s not sleep paralysis.”

’I remember now. Someone provoked me while I was driving, so we started street racing, and then… I got into an accident?’

’That doesn’t make any sense! I had the bamboo stalk on me the whole time, so how could I still get into a crash?’

’Why is this bad luck still clinging to me?’

’ARGH! Being haunted by bad luck is so frustrating! I’m completely screwed this time!’

Shen Zhiyao could hear his thoughts. She sighed. “When I gave you the bamboo stalk, I warned you not to do anything stupid. And what did you do? The moment someone provoked you, you started street racing. If it weren’t for my bamboo stalk, you’d already be dead!”

Jin Fan didn’t want to die. He screamed inwardly, begging Shen Zhiyao to save him.

He didn’t know what methods Shen Zhiyao had at her disposal, but he was sure she had a way to help him.

“I’ll save you one last time. If you pull another stunt like this, I’m washing my hands of you!”

With that, Shen Zhiyao walked over to the Reckless Young Master Jin and struck his chest with her palm. An immense surge of Spiritual Power flooded into his governor and conception vessels.

Jin Fan felt a warm current spread throughout his body, so soothing that it considerably lessened his pain.

The sensation was so pleasant that his consciousness began to drift, and his body grew increasingly weary.

In the final moment before his consciousness faded completely, Shen Zhiyao’s cool voice reached his ears again: “Remember to get my streaming account unbanned, or I’ll put you right back in this coma.”

Jin Fan: “…”

「When Jin Fan awoke again, it was noon the next day.」

The moment he awoke, his entire body felt like it was on fire, forcing him to grit his teeth against the pain.

The pain grew more and more intense. Sweat poured from his body, soaking the bedsheets.

Only when the pain gradually subsided and he was fully awake did he manage to struggle his eyes open.

A nurse was changing his dressings. When a beam of light shone on him, in his daze, he thought he was seeing Jesus. “Whoa… Am I meeting Jesus right now?”

Hearing the noise, the nurse looked over at him and said excitedly, “You’re awake! That’s wonderful! You’re finally awake! We thought you were going to end up in a vegetative state!”

Realizing her slip of the tongue, the nurse made an excuse: “I’ll go get the doctor.”

Then, she scurried away.

Jin Fan was completely baffled. ’Vegetative state? Who are they talking about?’

Shortly after, a team of doctors rushed into his room to perform a series of examinations.

After the examination, the attending physician was dumbfounded. “Well, I’ll be! This is nothing short of a medical miracle!”

“His body is recovering remarkably well. We’ll keep him in the ICU for observation a while longer. If there are no issues, he can be transferred to a general ward.”

After the examination, Jin Fan’s stomach was rumbling with hunger, but he was only allowed to have liquid food.

A nurse fed him various broths and liquids. After the whole ordeal, he felt completely stuffed.

Only after he was transferred to a general ward did Mrs. Jin finally arrive.

Seeing how well he was recovering, Mrs. Jin was momentarily stunned. “They just issued a critical condition notice yesterday, and today he’s… all better? My goodness! Is this hospital’s medical expertise really that superb? I wanted to invest in this hospital before, but your father didn’t agree. Now, it seems worth reconsidering.”

Mrs. Jin entered the hospital room on high heels, an Hermès bag in hand.
