My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 61

"You're saying your grandpa cries in your dreams every night?" Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. He studied Guang Xin's face carefully—sure enough, there was a faint trace of yin energy lingering around him.

Guang Xin nodded. "I really don't know what to do anymore. Is this just a dream, or is it actually my grandpa...? I even asked him, but he won't say anything."

The livestream chat immediately exploded with ideas:

"Maybe he's short on money or doesn't have enough clothes? Burn some more offerings for him!"

"How is this even happening? What if he's just dreaming randomly because he misses his grandpa too much?"

"Qingqing, hurry up and tell us what's going on! I need to know!"

Jiang Yiqing spoke up. "You burned joss paper for your grandpa the first time, and the second time, you relocated his grave, right?"

Guang Xin quickly nodded. "Yeah, yeah! But none of it worked."

"No," Jiang Yiqing corrected, "both of those actually worked."

Wait—what?

Jiang Yiqing continued, "After each of those times, didn't your grandpa stop crying in your dreams for a while?"

That was true... but it had only lasted for a few days, so Guang Xin had thought it didn't make a difference.

"It's not that it didn't work," Jiang Yiqing explained. "It's just that those were temporary solutions, not a real fix. Your grandpa is getting bullied in the ghost world—basically, he's being haunted by a ghostly thug. The first time you sent him money, he probably used it to pay off that bully. But once the money ran out, the thug started harassing him even worse. The grave relocation had a similar effect—it might've helped briefly, but it didn't solve the real issue."

Guang Xin: "!!!"

The barrage: "???"

Wait, hold up—ghosts could get bullied too?!

After hearing Jiang Yiqing's explanation, Guang Xin suddenly realized something—at first, his grandpa only cried in his dreams. But after he burned joss paper, the next time his grandpa showed up, he looked like he had been beaten up.

It made sense now. His grandpa must have used the paper money to pay off that ghostly bully. But come on, if even living people didn't play fair, how could you expect a ghost to be any better?

In real life, if you got extorted and gave in by handing over money, that would only invite more trouble.

The moment you ran out of cash or started resisting, the bully, knowing you had no real courage to fight back, wouldn't just back off—they'd resort to violence to break you down until you submitted.

And apparently, ghosts operated by the same twisted logic.

So after Guang Xin's grandpa spent all the money, the thug came back demanding more. When he couldn't pay up, he got beaten up again.

Which led to... his grandpa showing up in Guang Xin's dreams, crying once more. Oh, and while he was at it, he also took out some frustration by smacking his son around too.

Don't ask why. The logic was simple—grandson was family, son... whatever.

After getting beaten up in his dreams, Guang Xin's dad called in another feng shui expert. That guy wasn't wrong either—the original burial site wasn't great, especially since an actual ghostly thug was living nearby.

Moving the grave had been more effective than just burning joss paper. At least for a while, the ghost thug couldn't find his grandpa, and he managed to enjoy a few peaceful days.

But then, the bully turned out to be the petty and vengeful type. For whatever reason, he didn't mind going through all the trouble to track down Guang Xin's grandpa's new grave... and gave him another brutal beating.

This time, it was even worse. So once again, Guang Xin's grandpa had no choice but to run to his grandson in tears.

At this point, the Guang family had exhausted all their options. Completely out of ideas, they finally turned to Jiang Yiqing.

The livestream audiences were shocked speechless.

Holy crap. Not even death guarantees you peace?!

This was beyond messed up.

Just imagining their own grandparents going through something like this after passing away made the chat furious.

Guang Xin himself was fuming. "How the hell can there be ghosts like this?! That's just evil!"

Jiang Yiqing, looking calm and experienced, replied, "Well, if there are evil people among the living, of course there are evil ghosts too."

That said, even he had never encountered a case like this before.

Usually, the truly evil people—the ones who committed serious crimes—got captured right after death and sent straight to the underworld for their VIP torture treatment. It was rare for ghost thugs like this to be wandering around, bullying weaker spirits.

Of course, what Jiang Yiqing didn't say was that this guy wasn't even that bad.

A real malevolent ghost wouldn't just beat up other spirits—they'd consume them, using their souls as nourishment. And those who got eaten? Gone forever. No reincarnation, no afterlife, just erased.

The underworld took those ghosts very seriously, locking them up tight.

The one messing with Guang Xin's grandpa was more like a street thug in the ghost world.

He was probably just physically strong when he was alive, so even after death, he remained stronger than other ghosts. He wasn't capable of soul-devouring, but he could definitely throw a punch.

And Guang Xin's grandpa... well, he had died of cancer, reduced to skin and bones. Ghosts typically kept the appearance they had in their final moments, so even in death, he was still frail and weak. The perfect target for a ghostly bully.

And ghosts didn't care about respecting their elders. It was not like ghosts could be beaten to death, after all.

"Then what should we do? Master Jiang, please help my grandpa!" Guang Xin pleaded, fully convinced by Jiang Yiqing's words.

The guy had been right about everything, even things Guang Xin hadn't mentioned. Just thinking about how his grandpa had barely enjoyed any peace while alive, only to get bullied in death, made Guang Xin feel both heartbroken and furious.

Jiang Yiqing smirked and cracked his knuckles. "For a ghost like this? The best solution is to fight fire with fire."

He stretched his wrists, grinning. "Perfect timing. I haven't beaten up a ghost in a while. Let's see if I've gotten rusty."

The livestream audiences: "......"

Wait, wait, wait—did he just say something terrifying?!

Fight a ghost? Like, actually punch a ghost?!

"Am I the only one freaking out over the fact that ghosts are actually real?? Why is everyone else so calm??"
