Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Even Ghosts Can’t Snatch It

“Alright everyone, let’s proceed to draw the next fated person.”

“Here, I’d like to remind everyone: please abide by laws and regulations!”

Yao Yao’s big, dark eyes gazed wide, her expression earnest and serious as she delivered the admonition. The Old Daoist Priest had once taught her Shu Shu, specifically the saying, “Do not commit evil, even if it is small; do not refrain from good, even if it is small.” Today, she recited it as a warning for everyone.

Such a solemn lecture would normally stir up the rebellious spirit in netizens in any other live stream, making them itch to defy. But this was the Master’s live stream; those who

were usually stubborn and argumentative like country bumpkins were now incredibly docile, even posting comments guaranteeing their adherence. There was no other way; the points she made were too solid, and this wave of patience was necessary.

First, let’s watch the excitement unfold!

As the Master began to draw the second fated person, everyone’s thoughts became concentrated. However, an unexpected situation occurred this time. The second fated person connected quickly, but the video was completely empty.

Within the live stream’s field of vision, there was no trace of a human figure. The only living, breathing creature was a black cat. But at this moment, its back was arched, its fur bristling, and it was staring intently at the empty space in front of it. It looked as if it were warily fearing something, letting out one sharp, rapid shriek after another.

This eerie beginning made the netizens’ scalps tingle.

[Holy crap, holy crap, that black cat’s cries are so creepy!]

[Why are you all focusing on the cat? Haven’t you noticed the fated person hasn’t appeared?]

[I noticed! I was just about to ask what’s going on; where did this person go? What kind of sensible person wins a chance and then plays hide-and-seek in the live stream? That’s too strange.]

The netizens were utterly confused, unable to figure it out for a while. After all, if it wasn’t the fated person, who else in the room would answer the call? That cat? Their heads were spinning, and they couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, “What kind of vibe is this live stream giving off today? One after another, they’re playing charades. If it’s like this, we can’t play along.”

However, this was only from their perspective. Yao Yao’s vision was different; there was a person in front of her. It was a white-haired old grandma. The old woman was clumsily looking at the phone,

not quite understanding if she had connected or not. Her wrinkled old face was currently filled with anxiety. She would look at the phone sometimes, and at the bedroom at other times, her demeanor unusually strange.

And just as she was fretting anxiously, a crisp voice rang out.

“Grandma, I can see and hear you speaking. If you have any problems, just say them!”

As soon as these words came out, the old grandma, who had been anxiously fiddling with her phone, stiffened, and her cloudy eyes lit up. She asked, confused and cautious, “Little child, can you really see this old woman?”

“Mhm, yes, I can!” Yao Yao nodded without hesitation, her big eyes filled with clarity. Her appearance, like a traditional New Year painting doll, was already a “grandparent killer.” Now, with her black gemstone eyes looking obediently, in the old grandma’s eyes, her trustworthiness was maxed out.

“Good, good, good, my good child, you can hear me. Then Grandma has something to ask of you: please save my granddaughter, whose heart has been blinded by lard!”

“She… the boyfriend she found is truly not a decent person.”

After the old grandma confirmed that the little child in front of her wasn’t lying, she immediately poured out her request like spilling beans. It turned out the old woman had passed away seven days ago. At the time of her death, the only thing she couldn’t let go of was her granddaughter.

She had lost her husband in her youth and single-handedly raised her son. Just as she was about to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren, who would have known that unforeseen misfortunes would strike?

Her son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, leaving only her and her ten-year-old granddaughter to depend on each other. If not for the significant amount of accidental death compensation they had bought, she would have had to work in her old age to support the family.

Perhaps her luck had been too bad in the first half of her life, because for the next ten-odd years, the old grandma seemed to have had a change of fortune.

She had originally only planned to use her son and daughter-in-law’s severance pay to buy a house for her granddaughter, to help her settle down after entering society.

Unexpectedly, they ran into a demolition project. A two-million-plus tael house instantly turned into over ten million taels. Subsequently, she seized the booming real estate phase, and the money in her hands rolled and rolled,

accumulating further. Let alone her granddaughter, even if there were ten more generations, as long as they didn’t fall into ruin and lived steadily, they would be born with silver spoons in their mouths.

With no financial worries, the old woman naturally began to fret about her granddaughter’s lifelong happiness. Her requirements weren’t high; the man just needed to be honest and reliable, as the family wasn’t short on money.

However, who would have thought her granddaughter would find a “pretty boy,” one who, at first glance, clearly had a head full of schemes and ill intentions. The old woman’s decades of experience were not for show;

she absolutely refused to agree to their relationship. Yet, her granddaughter was pig-headed, stubbornly disobedient. She became so angry that her health deteriorated, and being already old, she never had a chance to recover.

Perhaps her own death had made her granddaughter waver a little. But it wasn’t enough, so after her soul returned on the seventh day, she planned to add some force,

to appear in a dream and completely break off this disastrous relationship she had never agreed to in life. Who would have thought that before she even had a chance to act, she would witness that “pretty boy” cheating?

“That shameless man actually brought a wild woman home and did that disgraceful deed in broad daylight.”

“He… he even discussed with that woman how to trick my granddaughter into marriage and then divide her property.”

As the old grandma spoke, her soul body trembled with anger, for this villain was truly too despicable.

“This is my granddaughter’s phone for casual use. She usually watches your videos, little child. She says you’re a true Master and can help people fulfill their wishes.”

“Now that this old woman has been chosen, can my wish also be fulfilled?”

The old grandma didn’t feel distressed about her property being coveted; after all, these yellow and white things (money) cannot be brought into life or taken after death.

What she couldn’t accept was that this man was scheming against her granddaughter like this, and even had an affair partner. If she remained indifferent at this time, then she truly wouldn’t be qualified to be her granddaughter’s closest family member.

And as for how a ghost like her managed to be chosen? That was because she had borrowed the black cat’s body to tap the phone. She just didn’t expect this little creature to have such a bad temper.

It was actually a coincidence too; her granddaughter hadn’t directly closed the live stream before going downstairs to do something, otherwise, with the black cat’s body,

she wouldn’t have been able to participate in the lottery draw. With the granddaughter about to return soon, and her soul’s return time not being long, she naturally hoped to resolve the matter quickly.

“Okay, I’ll try my best,” Yao Yao nodded. “But helping is helping; whether they listen is another matter.”

Yao Yao was straightforward. After all, it wasn’t difficult for her to prove the truth, but if someone was wrong and chose not to change, then no one could help them. That’s why she didn’t make her promise too definitive.

Their back-and-forth conversation, however, appeared on screen as if Yao Yao was talking to herself. This bizarre scene gave all the netizens in the live stream goosebumps. At this moment, thousands of words swirled in their minds, but only one thought emerged:

They couldn’t even beat a ghost to snatch the spot; it was truly too tragic.
