Ch 110: Is There Really Such a Good Thing? [QT]

As soon as the door opened slightly, the mother and daughter stormed in with their relatives, catching sight of two men inside—one wearing a bathrobe and the other with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. The bed was a complete mess, with clothes scattered on the floor. What they had been doing was blatantly obvious.

The middle-aged woman rushed forward and slapped them both several times. “Wei Ming! Wang Sheng! You shameless scoundrels! Cheating with each other and trying to deceive my daughter—I’ll beat you to death!”

Her siblings, nephews, and nieces also charged forward. The men punched and kicked, while the women slapped faces, scratched skin, and pinched soft spots. The younger woman, Linlin, was the most devastated. Her face turned ashen as she realized that her boyfriend and cousin were actually involved with each other. Heartbroken and furious, she felt her world crumbling.

Wei Ming, the so-called “boyfriend,” cowered while covering his head and shouted, “You’ve got it all wrong! This is a misunderstanding! Sheng drank too much and threw up, so I came to take care of him. It’s not what you think!” He turned to Linlin angrily. “Linlin, I’ve been so good to you—how could you think this of me?”

Wang Sheng, Linlin’s cousin, also tried to plead his case. “Auntie, Linlin, what are you doing? This is too much!”

[“Too much” ~ yikes. This is disgusting; I can’t even find words.]

[Messy room, scattered clothes—check the trash can for evidence!]

The suggestion wasn’t necessary; a relative had already emptied the trash can onto the floor, revealing two unmistakably used items. Pointing at them, they cursed, “The evidence is right here, and you’re still denying it? Do we need to test DNA before you’ll admit it? You shameless bastards—I’ll beat you to death!”

Linlin, trembling with rage and heartbreak, glared coldly at the two men. “I’ve already found out. You’ve been together for a while, deliberately catering to my preferences to deceive me into marriage. Why would you do this to me? Should I call the police or report you to your company?”

She remembered Shen Yunxuan’s earlier warning: Wei Ming had murdered his previous wife because she threatened to expose him at work, ruining him completely. Surely, this would strike fear into Wei Ming.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wei Ming stopped denying but didn’t seem afraid either. Pushing aside a relative who was closest to him, he shouted, “Enough!” Grabbing a shirt and putting it on, he said, “What more do you want? I didn’t cheat you financially or physically. What have you lost? I wanted to live a good life with you after marriage, but since you’ve dragged so many people here to hit me, fine—let’s call off the wedding and go our separate ways!”

Wang Sheng, now hiding behind Wei Ming while pulling on a T-shirt, choked out, “We met today to break up. I know our love is not accepted in this world, and no one would approve of us. We never intended for a happily-ever-after. Today was just to end things.

I thought he was a good person. If he couldn’t be my lover, I wanted him to be family. That’s why I introduced him to Linlin. I knew he’d treat her well. And she has been happy these past six months. If you hadn’t dug up all this, you could’ve been happy forever. I wouldn’t have interfered, and I would’ve only wished you well from afar. Now everything is ruined.

Auntie, you were the one who started this, right? You’ve always been suspicious, meddling in Linlin’s affairs. She’ll never be happy with you around.”

Linlin’s mother, enraged, grabbed a clothes hanger and began hitting him. “Do you even hear yourself? You call yourself her cousin? You’re disgusting and conniving—thinking you could fool us with your vile schemes!”

[Ugh! My eyes are burning! Male manipulative scum—go rot!]

[These two despicable men twisting the truth—makes me sick.]

[Good! Keep hitting them! Who are these people? Let’s expose and shame them!]

Seeing the flood of supportive comments in the chat, Linlin suddenly felt calm. The situation had already unfolded, but she was grateful it had been exposed early. She thanked her mother silently for her persistence in opposing the marriage. The thought of marrying someone like Wei Ming made her stomach churn.

Just then, the police arrived. Linlin pointed at the two men and said, “They conspired to deceive me into marriage, intending to defraud my assets, commit insurance fraud, and inherit property.”

Wei Ming and Wang Sheng froze, exchanged glances, and furiously denied it. “What nonsense are you spouting? Officer, she’s making false accusations. Arrest her!”

The officers frowned. “We received a report about insurance fraud and murder. Who reported it?”

“That would be me,” Shen Yunxuan’s voice came from Linlin’s phone. Linlin immediately showed the officers the screen and explained the fortune-telling session and how they had uncovered the truth.

The officers exchanged looks, clearly baffled. A fortune-telling livestream exposing infidelity and uncovering crimes? Seriously?

Then Shen Yunxuan spoke again. “Two years ago, Wang Sheng learned about Wei Ming’s plan to murder his wife for insurance money. He became cautious and secretly recorded their discussions as leverage for blackmail or protection. The recording is stored in his email.”

Wei Ming whipped around to glare at Wang Sheng, who panicked. “Don’t listen to her nonsense! I didn’t record anything!” Realizing what he’d just implied, Wang Sheng immediately tried to cover it up, but it was too late. The admission confirmed the validity of Shen Yunxuan’s accusation. Wei Ming’s face turned green with rage and fear at Wang Sheng’s stupidity.

The police, putting the pieces together, quickly apprehended Wei Ming and Wang Sheng. They asked Linlin and her relatives to accompany them to the station to provide statements. As for Shen Yunxuan, since she wasn’t in the same city, the officers simply noted that she might be contacted later for further investigation. They asked for her cooperation.

Shen Yunxuan agreed without hesitation. The officers returned Linlin’s phone but reminded her that livestreaming police operations was not allowed and asked her to close the stream.

Tears welled up in Linlin’s eyes as she bowed deeply to the camera. “Thank you, Master. You saved me. I’m so grateful.”

Shen Yunxuan smiled and said, “You should thank your mother. It was her care for your happiness and her persistence in opposing this that led to today’s resolution. You lost your father young, and your bond with your mother has been deep for years. Don’t let outsiders harm that relationship.”

Linlin nodded repeatedly, hugging her mother’s arm and crying, “Mom, I’m sorry. I was so immature. I promise I’ll never do this again.”

Her mother, eyes red, patted her daughter’s hand and, after a moment of thought, asked Shen Yunxuan, “Master, could you take a look at my daughter’s future marriage prospects?”

Shen Yunxuan chuckled. “Don’t worry. Her true match will appear by the end of the year. You don’t need to do anything—just let things happen naturally.”

“Thank you, Master! Thank you so much!” Linlin’s mother smiled for the first time, and after ending the call, she sent Shen Yunxuan 20 “Sharks,” a gift worth 60,000 yuan. She also bought a large number of talismans from Shen Yunxuan’s shop, intending to give them as thank-you gifts to relatives who had helped. With the Master being so accurate, her talismans had to be effective.

Shen Yunxuan felt her merit and faith energy grow, not to mention the financial gain, and couldn’t stop smiling. Metaphysics had been her favorite subject in her past life, and now she could not only study it but also help others with it. She was overjoyed.

The viewers, who had been busy cursing the two scumbags, suddenly realized the gravity of what had happened.

[Wait, could Xuanxuan really have metaphysical abilities? When did this happen?]

[She said she was new to the path but gifted. Is she really this good already?]

[Does this mean Xuanxuan won’t act in movies or appear on variety shows anymore? That’s so sad.]

[What’s there to be sad about? She’ll be streaming regularly now—that’s way better!]

Fans quickly embraced Shen Yunxuan’s new persona, eagerly opening her livestream shop to place orders.

Casual viewers, however, were more skeptical and stunned.

[Can anyone really predict things this accurately? Even down to the room number and recording?]

[Streamer, do you know impersonating police officers is a crime? You can’t write a script like this.]

[To the person above, I just called the local police. They said they can’t comment on an ongoing case. What does that mean? It must be real, right?]

[So Wei Ming really killed his wife for insurance money?]

[Someone found out the identities of those two scumbags. Check it out! Their company’s group chat got leaked, and the employees are shocked. So it’s true!]

Most of the trolls had been muted, and occasional attempts to stir things up were drowned out. Shen Yunxuan addressed the livestream:
“Of course, it’s true. Do you think I’d dare make something like this up? I still have to grow Idle Cloud Temple—I wouldn’t risk its reputation. By the way, I still have time for two readings today. Anyone interested?”

Before she finished speaking, someone sent her a Shark (the platform’s most expensive gift). She started a video call, and the livestream displayed a stylishly dressed male college student in a dorm room.

Shen Yunxuan looked at him briefly and said calmly, “What do you want to know?”

The young man shrugged. “Anything. You’re supposed to be good at predicting good and bad fortune, right? Tell me if I’m facing any trouble or bad omens—or who I should meet. Honestly, I don’t believe you. I think your previous ‘predictions’ were scripted. I’m here to experience it firsthand. Everyone, watch closely—I’m not a plant. I’m here to expose her.”

Some viewers recognized the young man’s username and warned Shen Yunxuan:

[He’s one of Zhou Yunxuan’s superfans. He’s deliberately here to cause trouble!]

Shen Yunxuan glanced at the idle wanderer, who was heading outside, then looked briefly out the window. The young man smirked at the camera. “What’s wrong? Are you scared? Or are you reading from a teleprompter? Is your team feeding you lines from across the room?”

Shen Yunxuan smiled and flipped the camera to show the idle wanderer returning with takeout. The room was empty except for them.
“Do you think I need all that to do a reading? You’re overestimating yourself. I don’t even need your birthdate to know you’re up to no good.”

She took a sip of her milk tea, ignoring the young man’s darkening expression, and continued, “Since you asked, let’s do this. You were born in a remote village but grew up in luxury because your parents and grandparents are human traffickers. The money they made from trafficking women and children was spent on you, their only hope to bring honor to the family.”

The young man’s face turned pale, and he leaned close to the camera, shouting, “Shut up! How dare you spout nonsense? Do you have any evidence? I’m going to sue you for slander! You’re cursed—you can use the money I paid to buy your coffin!”

He tried to end the livestream, but nothing he pressed worked. Panic set in as he realized something was wrong.

Viewers immediately caught on.

[Did she hit a nerve? Is his family really a trafficking den?]

[It has to be true! He spends lavishly, even sending luxury gifts to Zhou Yunxuan. Fans thought he was a rich kid. Turns out it’s blood money from trafficking. Disgusting!]

[Benefiting from crime makes him just as guilty as the traffickers!]

[Could the streamer have made this up to get back at him? That’s a serious accusation.]

[Does the streamer know where his family is? We could help report it.]

Shen Yunxuan calmly took another sip of her milk tea. “I’ve already asked my senior brother to report it. Criminals shouldn’t be allowed to roam free. Oh, and make sure the police send a large team—at least thirty officers. Most people in his village are complicit.”

The idle wanderer nodded and made another phone call. The young man, realizing the severity, tried to call his family to warn them, but his phone only displayed the livestream screen and wouldn’t respond to any other commands.

Suddenly, the dorm door opened, and the dorm manager pointed at him. “Officers, this is the student you’re looking for. Can you tell me what he’s done?”

“It’s confidential for now,” one officer replied. Turning to the young man, they said, “We’ve received a report connecting you to several criminal activities. Please come with us.”

What had been a quiet dormitory now erupted as students crowded the hallway, whispering and speculating. The young man glared at Shen Yunxuan, who waved dismissively.
“Enjoy the reading. Accurate, wasn’t it? You definitely got your money’s worth.”

Her smug expression infuriated him, but before he could say anything, the livestream abruptly ended, and the police swiftly took him away. They also noted the need to review the livestream recording to verify Shen Yunxuan’s claims.

The second reading ended as suddenly as it began. Viewers were left in shock, though some doubted how such sinister incidents kept finding their way to Shen Yunxuan. Could it really not be scripted?

Seeing their doubts, Shen Yunxuan said thoughtfully, “Maybe it’s fate. Only those with unresolved issues are drawn to my stream and feel compelled to get a reading. Going forward, I’ll switch to a lucky draw system. Only those selected will pay for a reading—it’ll feel more random.”

This change had been suggested by Fang Qianqian in a private message, worried that too many gift givers might create confusion about who should get a reading.

As viewers remained curious about the young man’s fate, Shen Yunxuan added, “Don’t worry, he won’t get away. Over the summer, when he returned home, a girl escaped from his family’s trafficking ring. He saw her and called others to catch her, causing her to fall down a mountain and die after hitting her head on a rock. He has blood on his hands, and the law will hold him accountable.”

[What?! He caused someone’s death and still had the gall to chase celebrities and spend blood money on luxury items? Is his heart made of stone?]

[Zhou Yunxuan accepted gifts from him? That was all dirty money, wasn’t it?]

[I hope the police catch everyone involved. Praying for the safety of other victims.]

[Even though it’s not Zhou Yunxuan’s fault, I can’t look at her the same way anymore.]

Fans of Zhou Yunxuan were quick to retaliate:
[What does this have to do with Zhou Yunxuan? Don’t drag her into this mess.]

[This is Shen Yunxuan’s fault. She could’ve handled this without dragging Yunxuan into it. Why create unnecessary drama?]

[Apologize, Shen Yunxuan! Stop using your persona to smear Yunxuan.]

Others defended Shen Yunxuan:
[She never mentioned Zhou Yunxuan’s name. Why are you so defensive?]

[Feeling guilty, huh? Having a superfan who’s a criminal is definitely embarrassing.]

Drinking her milk tea, Shen Yunxuan remained silent. This wasn’t her fault—the superfan had come looking for trouble and insisted on a reading. She was merely reacting to the situation.

Still, she felt puzzled. Hadn’t Zhou Yunxuan swapped her fortune? Her life should have been smooth sailing. Did this mean that as long as their lives were entangled, their fortunes balanced out?

Perhaps helping Linlin earlier had earned Shen Yunxuan enough merit and faith to suppress her bad luck, causing Zhou Yunxuan to suffer instead. If so, it explained how Zhou Yunxuan had previously caused Shen Yunxuan’s downfall—by sapping her fortune.

At this moment, a viewer was selected through the lucky draw. Shen Yunxuan didn’t think much of it and started a video call after the viewer sent her a Shark gift.

This time, the screen revealed a young girl around ten years old. As soon as the connection was established, the girl shyly greeted, “Hello, Sister Xuanxuan, hello everyone. I… I’m your fan. I really like you…”

[Minors aren’t allowed to send gifts! Streamer, you should refund her.]

[Why is a little girl watching videos and getting fortunes told? Go do your homework!]

[Little sister, trust science, focus on studying, and don’t get caught up in this mystical stuff.]

[Yes, kids have a “beginner’s protection period.” Don’t bother with this. Go study!]

The girl quickly waved her hands and turned the camera to show an elderly woman with white hair lying on the bed nearby.

“I didn’t send the gift myself; my grandma asked me to. She said Sister Xuanxuan’s predictions are so accurate and wanted to ask you to help me find my biological parents.”

[What’s going on? Did you lose contact with your parents and grandma?]

[Could it be a trafficking case? Did they get the idea from the earlier trafficking story?]

The elderly woman appeared eager to explain, but Shen Yunxuan interrupted gently, “It’s not about getting separated or trafficking. This girl was found by her grandma. They reported it to the police but couldn’t locate her parents, so the grandma raised her as her granddaughter. Now, the grandma seems to be seriously ill and has no other relatives. She’s worried about what will happen to the girl after she’s gone, so she wants to try finding her biological parents again.”

The elderly woman nodded repeatedly, visibly emotional. “Yes, yes, that’s it… Master, please help us. My granddaughter is such a sweet and well-behaved girl, always top of her class… Please, can you find her parents for her?”

Shen Yunxuan examined the girl’s features closely and asked the grandmother about when the girl had been found. After calculating for a while, she smiled. “Don’t worry. Her parents are alive, and she’s their only child. They’ve been looking for her all this time. Three days from now, at noon, leave your house and head east. At the ninth intersection, you’ll meet them.”

The girl’s eyes widened. “Will we really find them?” She glanced at her grandma, hesitating. “Sister Xuanxuan, are my parents really still looking for me? Why couldn’t they find me? Grandma reported it to the police.”

Shen Yunxuan sighed. “From your features, it seems to be a case of misfortune and missed opportunities. Plus, your area is quite remote, and the system for filing cases wasn’t well-developed ten years ago. But when you meet them, you’ll know—they love you deeply. Trust me.”

The girl, her apprehensive heart slightly eased, felt a sudden urge to cry. She quickly wiped her eyes. “I… I don’t even know why I feel like crying. I just really want to cry.”

Shen Yunxuan’s voice softened, her gaze gentle. “That’s okay. I’m an orphan too. When I was little, I used to imagine my parents suddenly finding me, but they never did. I understand how you feel. It’s okay to cry. This situation was an accident, but misfortune can sometimes come with blessings. You met your grandma, who gave you all her love and care—that’s a kind of fate. Don’t feel sad. Things will get better.”

The girl nodded repeatedly, unable to stop crying. She quickly purchased a healing talisman, knowing it couldn’t save her grandma’s life but hoping it would ease her discomfort a little.

After thanking Shen Yunxuan repeatedly, the call ended.

The livestream audience was left in a somber mood, reflecting on how fate could be so cruel. A wonderful child, loving parents, yet they were separated by some twist of fate for over a decade. Now, as the family was finally about to reunite, the grandmother’s life was nearing its end. It felt like there was always some regret, never complete happiness.

Shen Yunxuan comforted the viewers: “Life is unpredictable. All we can do is cherish what we have, treasure every connection, and take good care of ourselves. That’s enough. Life is cyclical—there’s no real end. From here, we move on to somewhere else. Don’t let sorrow and pain consume you. If there’s a connection, you’ll meet again. If not, let it go.”

[Does doing good deeds really bring good karma?]

“It does!” Shen Yunxuan answered confidently. “Aren’t I helping people and doing good deeds? I feel like my luck has already started improving.”

[Haha, Xuanxuan, are you serious? You’ve got so many trolls.]

Shen Yunxuan brushed it off. “Blessings come with misfortunes. If not for those trolls harassing me in the beginning, I wouldn’t have thought of livestreaming. If not for them stirring up trouble in my streams, I wouldn’t have gained this much popularity. Don’t just focus on the bad—see the good too.

“All right, that’s the last reading for today. My predictions are so accurate that they drain my energy. I need time to recover before doing more. It’s getting dark anyway—time to sleep and wake up to collect my payment.”

Only then did viewers realize it was night, and Shen Yunxuan was still in the haunted house for her sleep test!

When Shen Yunxuan stood up, viewers got a clearer view of the kitchen behind her. In the darkness, the gas stove suddenly ignited, and the sound of frying echoed. The dishwasher lit up and started operating, the sound of water flowing unnervingly loud in the silence. The livestream chat flooded with cries of “protective comments” and warnings for Shen Yunxuan to run.

Whether this haunted house was truly supernatural or just staged, the scene was undeniably terrifying.

But Shen Yunxuan seemed completely unaffected. She walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out two tubs of ice cream. “You’re not in the best health,” she told the idle wanderer, “so don’t eat too much. The homeowner said the master bedroom has a TV. Let’s watch a horror movie to set the mood.”

[Sister, do you really think the atmosphere isn’t spooky enough? Please, no more setting the mood!]

As Shen Yunxuan and the idle wanderer climbed the stairs, the lights downstairs began flickering rapidly. Their shadows stretched and twisted into eerie, claw-like forms. Strange laughter and crying echoed through the house.

When Shen Yunxuan pushed open the bedroom door, the TV was already on, playing a scene of Sadako crawling out of the well. The viewers, caught off guard by the sudden appearance, screamed in terror!
