The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 43

Prev | Directory | Next

With the added dialogue and terrified expressions, the whole thing came off as both creepy and hilarious. The more you thought about it, the scarier it got. And since metaphysics had been quietly making a comeback lately, this video—titled "Ghost Wall"—naturally gained traction and started going viral on short video platforms.

The middle-aged woman's frown grew tighter and tighter as she watched the video at double speed, then quickly scrolled through the comments.

The comment section had already turned into a battlefield, split cleanly into two camps arguing over whether this really was a "ghost wall" video. When she tapped in, it was already chaos.

[What do you mean by "calling a deer a horse"? I've finally seen it with my own eyes today! I don't care if the Jade Emperor himself showed up—there's no ghost troupe, ghost performer, or ghost stage in this video!]

[...Never expected the comments to look like this before clicking in. So many people actually think there are ghosts in this? If you're gonna make stuff up, at least have the guts to screenshot and point them out!]

[This... I watched the whole thing live in Master Yu's livestream yesterday, and it was honestly terrifying! So why does it look like this now?]

[@Above, don't twist things! I was also watching Master Yu's whole stream yesterday—how is this video any different from what we saw?]

[Master Yu? Hahaha, I'm dying over here!]

[Not a hater, but are you fans seriously calling her "Master"? She's just a semi-canceled celebrity with only a high school education and didn't even make it into college.]

[Let's be real. Does Yu Yuan's company even know what they're doing? Sincerely suggesting they stop chasing whatever's trending and maybe try having their own ideas for once.]

[Yu Yuan can tell fortunes? Hahahaha, funniest thing I've heard all year!]

[Agree with the one above lol, I'm laughing so hard—what's in it for you guys? You inheriting her credit card debt or something? LMAOOOOO]

[Can you people at least do some research before running your mouths? Y'all don't know anything about Master Yu's abilities and just talk like you're experts. Unreal.]

[Seriously, do your homework before commenting. Master Yu is actually a very skilled metaphysical practitioner.]

[??? Did I read that right? Yu Yuan has hardcore fans now? Girl, if your eyes are failing, get them checked before it's too late!]

[I've been in the metaphysics field for five or six years now, and for those who still can't see anything in the video, I suggest you never mess with this field again. No shade, but if you still can't spot the ghost loop even after video enhancements, it's just not your destiny to be in metaphysics...]

The middle-aged woman stopped scrolling. Her gaze finally landed on the only name mentioned.

"Yu Yuan..."

She squinted slightly and murmured the name. The youngest girl next to her immediately looked up, shocked. "Yu Yuan?! Master, this has something to do with Yu Yuan too?"

The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows slightly at her disciple's voice. "You know her?"

"Of course I know her!" The girl, who looked about seventeen or eighteen, had a slightly baby-faced look, but her expression showed clear annoyance. "That Yu Yuan is basically the human equivalent of a piece of clingy gum—she latches onto whatever's trending. Everyone in the circle knows how annoying she is! She's always delusional, trying to outshine our Jingxi every chance she gets. And she even..."

She suddenly paused, thinking of some of the more scandalous gossip she'd heard. Her face shifted uncomfortably, and she shut her mouth.

"She even what?" The middle-aged woman frowned when she noticed the girl stop mid-sentence.

"It's nothing..." The girl froze for a second, then stomped her foot and shook her head. "Ugh, Master! Anyway, that Yu Yuan definitely doesn't have any real skills. She's doing terribly in the industry. If she really had any ability, she wouldn't be getting dragged left and right by everyone! I bet this whole thing was cooked up by her agency again. If there is a real master, it's probably someone working behind the scenes for her!"

After the girl finished ranting, the middle-aged woman gave her a sideways glare, face still stern. The girl immediately ducked her head in fear.

The woman let out a long, heavy sigh.

"We're cultivators. You should keep your distance from that Lu Jingxi." Her voice was heavy. "Normally, I wouldn't interfere in who you hang out with, but Lu Jingxi is definitely not a good influence. Be careful she doesn't lead you astray."

"What's there to be led astray by..." the girl muttered under her breath, sulking.

The woman's voice instantly shot up, "What did you just say?"

"Nothing, nothing!" The girl waved her hands fast. "Disciple says—I'll stick to your teachings, Master!"

The middle-aged woman shook her head helplessly, then turned to the frail young man who'd been mostly silent the whole time. "Ah Qi, what do you think?"

The young man called Ah Qi gave a small shake of his head. The slight movement triggered a couple of coughs, his thin frame trembling like a fragile willow in the wind, like he'd snap if you breathed too hard on him.

After a while, he finally caught his breath and said softly, "Martial Aunt, since someone else already handled this situation, how about we head back first? I'll explain it all to my father later."

"Alright." The lines on the middle-aged woman's forehead finally smoothed out. Her voice softened. "Then I'll leave it to you, Ah Qi."

The group had arrived in a hurry, and they left just as quickly. On the other side, Yu Yuan had also asked Zhou Yu to drive Meng Qianhe's car to the front gate of the neighborhood.

"Just stop here," she said.

Yu Yuan unbuckled her seatbelt and was the first to get out.

Seeing his future master get out of the car, Zhou Yu scrambled after her like an excited puppy, trotting two quick steps forward. Eagerly, he said, "Master Yu, where do you live? I know you're not afraid of anything, but it's super late, and the roads are dark. How about I walk you home?"

Yu Yuan looked up at the dim, gray sky and yawned.

"I live in Haishi."

"Haishi's great, Haishi's—" Zhou Yu's enthusiastic smile froze. He looked up in shock. "Haishi?!"

Wasn't that, like, in the neighboring province, over a hundred kilometers away?!

"Mm." Yu Yuan finished yawning. The street ahead looked warped and wavy to her tired eyes.
