"Heaven and Earth's Mysterious Source, Root of All Qi, Vastly Cultivate Billions of Kalpas, Manifest My Divine Powers, All Deities Adore, Command Thunder and Lightning, Ghosts and Demons Lose Courage, Spirits and Monsters Lose Form, Swiftly, As Per The Law!"
This was the Xuanmen's (Daoist Gate's) "Golden Light Divine Incantation." Compared to a ghost-slaying incantation, it targeted a broader range of entities. The Jiangtou (black magic/sorcery) of Jiangtou arts was considered an alternative form of demon.
Therefore, the effect of Yaoyao's incantation exceeded expectations. The woman, who had been pouncing, was sent flying back as if struck by a heavy hammer.
With a "thump," the woman crashed into the nearby clothes rack, causing a clatter of noise.
Her voice was a mix of lament and an unyielding shrillness, struggling to retaliate.
She was too severely wounded by the incantation to get up, only able to stare fixedly at the Fortunate Viewer's phone with her pale yellow snake eyes.
That was the source of the incantation's power. She had absolutely no idea where this dog-like man had found such a Master...
"Huh? This Snake Mother statue... it seems to be cracking." Suddenly, the Fortunate Viewer's voice, full of surprise, broke the silence.
The netizens' attention was immediately drawn, and they then saw the previously smooth, jade-like Snake Mother statue.
At this moment, it had not only lost its ethereal multicolored glow, but its bronze-like body was also covered in spiderweb-like cracks.
Such extensive cracking made one wonder if the Snake Mother would shatter completely with just a touch.
Yaoyao then said in her clear, crisp voice, "Uncle, you're not mistaken, it really is about to crack!"
This particular Snake Mother Jiang had not yet fully "activated." After suffering a heavy blow from her, it had already been largely neutralized.
The reason it hadn't shattered yet was because its vessel was still alive; relying on the vessel, it could still cling to a breath of life.
The Fortunate Viewer's face first showed surprise upon hearing the Master's explanation, then transformed into an expression of wild joy.
"Hahahaha, you cheap woman, you tried to scheme against me! This worthless piece of trash, shatter for me!"
The Fortunate Viewer laughed arrogantly. Thinking that this thing had almost killed him, he was instantly enraged. He grabbed the Snake Mother statue and, with a "smash," threw it to the ground.
A sound like jade striking the earth echoed, and the bronze statue, already covered in cracks, instantly shattered into countless pieces.
This sudden turn of events happened so quickly that neither Yaoyao nor the netizens reacted in time.
"Oh no, Uncle, you've caused trouble." After realizing what happened, Yaoyao's dark eyes paused slightly, her tone becoming a little solemn.
It was important to know that this Snake Mother was already inseparable from its vessel. In a sense, this vengeful older sister was the Snake Mother.
Now that the Fortunate Viewer had shattered the Snake Mother statue, it was equivalent to directly killing the latter. Killing Jiangtou with ordinary means would result in a karmic backlash.
This kind of damage directly affects the physical body, being eerily troublesome, which is why Southern Seas Jiangtou arts are so feared.
Sure enough, as soon as Yaoyao's words fell, a fat, white worm emerged from the shattered bronze statue.
It squeaked a few times, and its fleshy body spontaneously ignited without fire, turning into a puff of white smoke that crashed into the Fortunate Viewer's body.
"What... what is this..." The Fortunate Viewer retreated repeatedly, terrified by the scene.
He fearfully touched his body, afraid that something had been added or removed.
But after a thorough check, he found no abnormalities on his body. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the woman, who was previously sprawled on the ground, suddenly let out a sharp laugh.
"Hahahahaha, Song Chenxuan, weren't you a ladies' man? I'll make sure you can't touch a woman for the rest of your life!"
The woman's curses were extremely nasty. She was still ranting, but then she suddenly coughed, and with a "whoosh," she spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.
The aura around her body deflated like a punctured balloon. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a young woman in her prime to an old, decrepit hag.
"You'll spend this life... living in regret!" The hag's venomous voice echoed through the room. Even as she breathed her last, the hatred in her eyes did not dissipate.
"..." The Fortunate Viewer's face was extremely grim at this moment. After all, anyone being cursed like that wouldn't be in a good mood.
Especially that curse about never being able to touch a woman again in this life—it made his face turn green.
Such a thing wasn't easy to verify on the spot, and he was still live-streaming. But for some reason, he felt an underlying unease.
Even with the Master in front of him, he didn't dare to ask, afraid that she would nod. With millions of people watching this live stream, he would never be able to hold his head up again in this life.
"Uncle, I've already called the police for you. This older sister died from Jiangtou magic backlash, so it won't affect you."
Yaoyao spoke softly. For cases involving the supernatural, the action team would handle it more specifically, meaning the death wouldn't be attributed to the Fortunate Viewer.
As for the curse the older sister uttered before her death, Yaoyao knew it was true, but she wisely chose not to comment.
Because the old Daoist priest had told her that a man's virility is a very serious matter and should not be discussed in front of many people, as it would hurt their pride.
"Thank you, great Master. When I have time, I'll personally visit the Gu family to express my gratitude."
The Fortunate Viewer himself was eager to verify, but he was also afraid of verifying some terrible consequence, so he dared not speak too definitively.
This so-called visit was actually a contingency he left for himself. If something truly went wrong, it wouldn't be too abrupt for him to seek help in person.
"Mhm, okay, goodbye, Uncle!" Yaoyao considered herself very smart; she immediately understood the uncle's implied meaning.
She neither refused nor made any guarantees to solve the problem, because the injury caused by the Gu worm was a root-level severing, and she had no way to fix it.
Yaoyao silently sighed in her heart. This couldn't really be blamed on her inadequate protection; it was truly because this uncle was too impulsive.
If he hadn't smashed that Snake Mother statue, everything would have been fine. She would have resolved his fatal calamity, and at most, his reputation would have suffered a bit.
But he acted impulsively, determined to put someone to death. When karmic retribution arrived, even a Daluo Golden Immortal couldn't save him.
...
Perhaps the expression on her small face hadn't been fully contained, and netizens immediately noticed the Master's unusual demeanor.
As expert internet surfers, their ability to dissect gossip and solve mysteries was comparable to Sherlock Holmes. Connecting the dots, they immediately guessed the truth.
[The Fortunate Viewer is too tragic. One outburst of anger, and he directly loses his eligibility to be a man. He'll probably wake up in the middle of the night screaming curses from now on.]
[But then again, he deserved it. The Master said that the Snake Mother statue and Wang Xinxin were one. He still went and smashed the bronze statue. Who else is to blame for karma striking?]
[The commenter above is right. If the Fortunate Viewer hadn't played with other people's feelings, if he had acted correctly and justly, where would this unwarranted disaster have come from?!]
The netizens might have been gossiping, but they were quite rational about many things.
Especially regarding the Fortunate Viewer's fate, they felt no sympathy. After all, if Heaven creates evil, it can be forgiven; but if one creates evil themselves, then they cannot live.
"Alright, everyone, let's not discuss it anymore! We're starting the drawing for the next fortunate viewer!"
Yaoyao noticed that some comments were already clouded with faint shadows, which was the negative karma from verbal transgressions. She had to speak up and remind them.
The netizens were very obedient in the live stream, all thanks to the Master's track record of "flashing to the scene." They certainly didn't want to experience the Master showing up at their door.
So, the comment section quickly fell silent, harmoniously filled with "666"s.
After Yaoyao gained her first thread of merit, she didn't delay and began working on her second thread of merit for the day.
The second fortunate viewer was a woman in her early thirties. Because she took good care of herself, she looked like she was in her twenties.
She wore a beautiful "petite tweed" style jacket, and her necklace and earrings were pearl accessories, which gave her a sense of calm maturity.
"Wow, hello Master, I actually connected!" The fortunate viewer was slightly excited at the moment, nervously a bit at a loss.
Seeing this, Yaoyao showed a sweet smile: "Good afternoon, beautiful big sister. Your luck didn't lie to you."
"You can think about what you want to divine, Yaoyao will help you calculate it."
This older sister was very beautiful. Yaoyao admitted that she liked beautiful things the most, whether people or objects, so her tone was very kind.
The fortunate viewer was clearly a regular audience member of the live stream, having watched many broadcasts. But it was only when she actually communicated with the Master that she realized how soft and sweet Yaoyao's voice was.
Her face flushed slightly, and after holding it in for a long while, she finally adjusted her emotions.
"Master, I want to know if there will be any conflicts between me and Xiaocong. He's the child I'm going to adopt today."
After asking this question, the fortunate viewer was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She looked at the Master tremblingly.
[Wow, the fortunate viewer looks so young, why would she think about adopting a child?!]
[Although adopting children is a good deed that helps society, adopting a child is not like adopting a cat or dog. You have to bear responsibility for them for their entire life.]
[Food, clothing, schooling, marriage... just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle. Plus, there's no blood relation; who knows if you can truly bond? Fortunate viewer, don't do anything rash!]
The netizens, upon hearing the fortunate viewer's words, became exceptionally agitated, mostly trying to dissuade her.
The fortunate viewer felt a warmth in her heart upon seeing the comments, then said with some bitterness, "I also had no choice. It's just that I myself... cannot conceive..."
She sighed, and began to explain, little by little, why she wanted to adopt a child.
Only then did the netizens learn that the fortunate viewer and her husband had been married for four or five years, but her belly showed no signs of movement.
Her husband was from a rural background, and his family placed great importance on continuing the family line. Because she couldn't have children, her mother-in-law and father-in-law often made passive-aggressive remarks.
At first, the fortunate viewer could withstand it, and her husband also sided with her. But as time went on, she found herself struggling to cope.
Plus, her husband was getting grief from both sides, which made her feel a little heartbroken. Thus, she made up her mind to quit her job and start preparing for pregnancy.
But after calculating various dates, she still didn't get pregnant. The fortunate viewer couldn't help but go to the hospital with her husband for a check-up, and the result was that she herself couldn't conceive.
At this, the fortunate viewer felt as if the sky had fallen, and she even considered divorce. After all, given her husband's family situation, life without children would definitely be unbearable.
However, after she proposed divorce, her husband firmly disagreed. He said that since she couldn't have children, they could just adopt one from an orphanage.
The fortunate viewer thought this was a solution, but worried that her parents-in-law wouldn't agree. They were so focused on bloodlines, how could an adopted child work?
But, for some unknown reason, her husband managed to explain things, and her parents-in-law actually agreed...
The fortunate viewer then breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she truly loved her husband, and if possible, she certainly wanted to live a good life with him.
And today was the day she and her husband had arranged to go to the orphanage. Her husband's company had some urgent matters to attend to.
So, the fortunate viewer was waiting at home, with nothing to do. She saw the Master's live stream and clicked in.
She just didn't expect to actually be chosen. The fortunate viewer immediately voiced the expectation in her heart, her expression a mix of worry and anticipation.
Her appearance at this made the netizens' faces look odd.
As outsiders, they saw things more clearly.
That was a family that valued bloodlines, and even favored males over females. How could they possibly allow someone to "adopt" a child, especially when their son was physically sound?
Something was wrong, absolutely something was off.
The netizens faintly smelled a big piece of gossip and their gazes collectively turned to Yaoyao, awaiting a result.
