Chapter 60: Chapter 60: A Miscarriage

Jin Fan sighed helplessly. “Nuoxi dancing really is something else. To think it’s even spread to the Ghost Realm. But why are they dancing inside the villa? They scared a lot of people back then. And this estate… if it hadn’t been abandoned because of the hauntings, a single one of these buildings would be worth hundreds of millions today!”

Shen Zhiyao said, “They don’t want to be stuck here forever. It’s just that when the housing complex was being built, their graves were accidentally dug up. Their bones were ground to dust and scattered, trapping them here for all time, which is why they’re causing trouble.”

“In today’s world, humans are dominant. If they stay here too long, they’ll be captured by a Ghost Hunter sooner or later. I’m thinking of taking them in. That way, they’ll avoid causing any more trouble for humans, and I’ll get a few new free laborers. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”

As she spoke, she shot Jin Fan a glare. “I told you not to go into the basement. You were just asking for trouble!”

Jin Fan looked crestfallen and explained, “You told me not to go into the basement, so I thought you must be hiding some kind of Immortal Law down there. I figured I’d go have a look, and maybe I could start on the path of cultivation, too…”

Shen Zhiyao looked up at him. “You want to cultivate?”

Jin Fan nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes! Great-Grandma, you’re so incredible, but as your only grandson, I don’t know any Spells at all. Great-Grandma, please take me as your disciple! I want to learn Spells from you and gain some real skills.”

“I can’t take you as a disciple.” Shen Zhiyao flatly refused. “You don’t have a Spirit Root, so you cannot cultivate.”

Since coming to this world, Shen Zhiyao had yet to see a single person with a Spirit Root.

Even this body of Shen Zhiyao’s didn’t have a Spirit Root. It had only become different because of her arrival.

Jin Fan was a little disappointed, but he quickly got over it.

He stood up and showed off the things he had brought for his Great-Grandma. “This is high-end bedding, these are designer clothes, and over here are all designer bags. You can pick whatever you like…”

He had brought quite a lot of things; they filled the living room sofa.

Although Shen Zhiyao had said yesterday that she didn’t need a bed or bedding.

But Jin Fan just figured she was being polite. ’As Shen Zhiyao’s most devoted little grandson, of course I have to get everything ready for her.’

’And her bag! She’s actually using a tacky old travel bag. The corners are all frayed, and she still won’t get a new one.’

The bags he brought were all limited edition. A single one was worth millions, and they were restricted items that only the highest-level VIP members could buy.

’No woman can resist a good bag, not even Great-Grandma.’

Jin Fan’s face was wreathed in smiles, awaiting his Great-Grandma’s praise.

“It’s the thought that counts. Thank you,” Shen Zhiyao said calmly, with no further reaction.

Jin Fan felt dejected. “Other girls would be screaming if they saw these. Great-Grandma, could you at least show some emotion? Let me know what you’re feeling.”

Shen Zhiyao picked up a bag. “Look at this bag. It’s clearly snakeskin. I hate snakes more than anything. Am I supposed to carry this thing around?”

“And this one. If I’m not mistaken, the leather for this bag was made by skinning a toad alive, wasn’t it? Do I need to go on?”

Jin Fan said hurriedly, “No, no, no, don’t say any more! Everyone in high society carries bags from this brand. Now that you’ve put it that way, it’s making my skin crawl!”

“A cloth bag is just fine.” Shen Zhiyao tore open a delivery package and pulled out a white canvas bag with a few elegant bamboo stalks painted on it.

It was simple, but it matched her clothes perfectly.

Shen Zhiyao had just stepped out to pick up this very bag.

The delivery person knew the place was haunted and didn’t dare come up, so Shen Zhiyao had to go get it herself.

Soon, a series of notifications began to chime on Shen Zhiyao’s phone:

[Shengming Ru Ge: Miss Shen, help! Please, save my boss!]

[Shengming Ru Ge: Streamer, help! My boss fell off the runway and is in a coma! Miss Shen, a life is at stake! You have to reply to me when you see this!]

[Shengming Ru Ge: My boss is bleeding… I’m so sorry, Miss Shen. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that the other day, but I really didn’t know she was pregnant! Please, I’m begging you, save my boss, and save her baby!]

Her boss was the famous actress who had relied on raising a Spiritual Child to achieve explosive popularity.

Later, the Spiritual Child had gone out of control and started causing trouble.

Li Kerun had asked Shen Zhiyao to solve the problem, but then Master Chen had come out of nowhere and taken the Spiritual Child.

Before leaving, Shen Zhiyao had seen that Li Kerun would soon be in danger and warned her not to leave her house for the next two days, but to stay home and take shelter.

’It seems she didn’t take my advice.’

As one of the top female stars of her generation, she had numerous endorsements.

Today, as the brand ambassador for a certain haute couture clothing line, she had been invited to an in-person launch event.

If she refused, she would incur the brand’s displeasure and lose this incredibly valuable endorsement.

It would even affect her reputation, causing other major brands to shun her.

As she was leaving that morning, Li Kerun recalled Shen Zhiyao’s warning.

But the moment she paused, her manager, Lin Qiang, hurried her along. “What are you spacing out for? Let’s go! We’re running out of time, don’t be late!”

“What? You have a bad feeling and don’t want to go? You’re backing out because of a couple of words from that little streamer? She’s just mad you switched to someone else, so she cursed you. It’s fine. Nothing will happen.”

Once on the runway, Li Kerun, just to be safe, repeatedly negotiated with the brand to let her switch to a pair of black, non-slip leather shoes for her walk.

She was also extra cautious while on the runway.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and no accidents occurred.

Lin Qiang even said with a smile, “See? I told you that woman was just cursing you! Look, everything’s fine!”

Li Kerun also felt she had overthought things and inwardly seethed at Shen Zhiyao’s viciousness.

After the show, it was time for a group photo with the brand’s executives, the brand ambassador, and the designer.

Li Kerun was trying to find her best angle, chest out, to capture her most beautiful look.

Just as she was adjusting her pose, something suddenly tripped her. Her body lost its balance, and she fell directly off the one-meter-high runway.

Immediately, she felt an unbearable pain in her abdomen and knew something might be wrong with the baby.

Her first thought was of Shen Zhiyao. ’The prediction came true again.’

Therefore, ignoring the excruciating pain in her abdomen, she immediately had her assistant contact Shen Zhiyao.

The assistant didn’t have Shen Zhiyao’s phone number, only her WeChat, so she sent a long string of messages begging for help.

Shen Zhiyao slung her nine-point-nine-yuan, free-shipping bag over her shoulder and said to Jin Fan, “I saw your car at the entrance. Perfect. Take me to the hospital.”

Jin Fan hadn’t wanted to drive, but Shen Zhiyao had told him that as long as he didn’t do anything stupid, didn’t street race, and didn’t break any traffic laws, he would be fine under the Amulet’s protection.

So, Jin Fan clapped his hands and decided to give Shen Zhiyao a ride.
