Changbai Mountain, Tianchi Lake boundary.
Thunder rumbled incessantly, and Yin Qi divided half the sky, the scattered spiritual pressure still unconcealable from afar.
Not far away stood a group of people, led by the red-clothed Hu Shisiniang, followed by members of the action team.
At this moment, the action team members were all excited, their eyes shining as they looked at the battle's location, discussing animatedly.
"Finally... they're fighting, hahahaha!"
"Master, you must kill these turtle sons. They made this old man squat in this snowy ridge for so long, I'm practically frozen stiff."
They were completely unafraid that the Master wouldn't win. Their only concern was that the Master might be too soft-hearted and hold back too much.
The noisy scene made Hu Shisiniang's forehead twitch a little. She was about to speak to manage the situation.
Suddenly, the sounds of fighting not far away ceased. Clearly, the battle was over!
Hu Shisiniang's eyes lit up. She ignored the group of people and quickly flew towards Tianchi Lake.
Previously, avoiding the battle circle wasn't because her cultivation was insufficient to help, but because the Venerable One didn't allow her to intervene, which could simply be explained as not wanting to be a hindrance.
But now that the outcome was out, after so long of anxious waiting, she naturally had to go and see what happened.
"Quick, quick, quick, let's go too!"
"If we go late, we won't see anything. I must get this intelligence."
The members of the special action team, seeing Hu Shisiniang's figure leave, all couldn't sit still.
They could appear here, at least at the peak of Level 3 cultivation, and some were at Level 4 and 5.
Coupled with their patrols during this time, they were intimately familiar with the small paths leading to Tianchi Lake below the mountain.
So, for some unknown reason, one person let out a howl, and in the next instant, they all charged straight after her.
In contrast to their excitement, Yao Yao on the mountaintop was much more laid-back. Around her lay a ground full of evil cultivators and Onmyoji.
These people, more or less, bore scorch marks from lightning strikes. The results were consistent: the cultivators' cultivation was completely scattered, and the Onmyoji's Shikigami were shattered.
Just based on their physical condition, any ordinary person could easily kill them, and this was after Yao Yao had held back.
"Not bad, you handled it well. It seems your power has adapted."
Xie Bi'an appeared lightly beside her. After understanding the situation, a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
"Then I don't need to worry. I'll give you these ghost generals as per our previous agreement. Just remember to leave one life for me."
He said, then raised a hand. In his palm, a pitch-black bead appeared, which he handed over.
Yao Yao was startled at first. After taking it, she saw that the bead now sealed numerous ghost generals.
Xie Bi'an explained the technique to activate the bead. It could continuously draw Yin Qi from the ghost generals.
"Wow, thank you, Lord Wuchang, I'll handle it well!" Yao Yao's beautiful big eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.
"One... two... five..."
She counted the evil spirits in the bead on her fingers, one by one. There were a total of fifteen, equivalent to dozens of merits.
She was extremely satisfied with this result; the smile never left Yao Yao's lips.
At this point, the trouble of the renegade Underworld members was finally resolved and wrapped up. Xie Bi'an returned happily.
Yao Yao stayed for a while, waiting for the action team members to arrive, and instructed them to clean up the scene.
"This is your reward, Sister Hu. I brought it when I came, so you don't have to make another trip!"
Before leaving, Yao Yao took out many ingots from her bag.
The reason she brought them was that she remembered there was a "wild fox" at home that secretly ate offerings.
Sister Hu Shisiniang was the manager of the Goddess's seat on Miao Gan Mountain. If she went home and stumbled upon it, it would be difficult for her to explain!
At this moment, Hong Jiu, who was sprawled in the family deity's abode, sleeping soundly, had no idea that he had narrowly escaped a disaster by sheer coincidence.
"Then many thanks, Venerable One!" Hu Shisiniang's eyes lit up when she saw the golden ingots in her hand.
She bowed gracefully, her voice as clear and beautiful as a golden oriole.
...
For the remaining minor matters, Yao Yao didn't need to worry; someone would handle them.
She returned to the Gu family home through the Ghost Gate and lay on her soft little bed, feeling completely relaxed.
This matter had been planned for a long time. Now that the trouble was resolved, Yao Yao naturally had a beautiful sleep.
The liveliness of the Gu family also quieted down after the birthday banquet. Only Seventh Brother and Eldest Brother were often at home.
When Yao Yao was free, she would either draw talismans or tease Hong Jiu.
Its fox fur was much more glossy and smooth than when it first arrived.
This was because Yao Yao had given it many "Incense Offering Ingots." As for why? It was due to its meritorious service during the previous "Red and White Clash" incident.
Although Little Jiu was a "wild fox," the cultivation path for family deities was the same. It could naturally consume the wishes brought by "Incense Offering Ingots."
Moreover, because they were stacked by herself, both in quantity and purity, there was a world of difference compared to when it was a guardian deity.
The latter had tasted it once, cried bitterly for days, and continuously complained that what it used to eat was "chaff."
"Calculating the time, it's almost time for the live broadcast again!" Yao Yao popped a black and red cherry into her mouth.
Sweet juice spread on her tongue. She clapped her hands and stood up, going to find her Seventh Brother.
...
As her online popularity grew, the news of Yao Yao's live broadcasts naturally spread throughout the family.
To support her daughter, Chen Hui didn't want the hassle of tidying up. She directly had the butler organize a guest room to be used for live broadcasting.
In the room, the live broadcast equipment was top-notch, and the operations were simple each time.
Yao Yao tapped on her phone and quickly set everything up. As soon as the live stream began, netizens flooded in.
[Hahahahaha, it's finally live again!]
[This week has been like a year for me. Master, quickly catch some unlucky guys and make me happy...]
[You upstairs are truly malicious, but I love it, hahahaha!]
It was still the familiar schadenfreude atmosphere. Yao Yao was used to it and didn't interrupt.
"Alright, everyone is so happy, let's begin the first round of lucky draw."
Yao Yao said, going with the flow. Then she fiddled with something and sent out the lucky draw link.
Netizens had long been ready, and the frenzy was even more chaotic than when people snatched luxury goods during sales in M Country.
The only difference was that there was only one spot. So, amidst a chorus of regrets, the lucky viewer successfully emerged.
The live stream quickly connected, and the lucky viewer was a pretty girl in her early twenties, with sweet dimples on her face.
"Hello, Master!"
The fated person greeted her politely with a wave. She was an old viewer of the live stream and clearly understood the upcoming process.
So, she excitedly waited for the Master to speak. However, after a while, the Master not only didn't speak.
Instead, when she looked up, she saw the latter's furrowed brow. This familiar expression inexplicably made her heart tighten.
