The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 123

After discovering the little black cat would eat anything, Yu Liang showed off his cooking skills learned these days. The cat ate several small cakes and teriyaki chicken rice, its small body round and plump, not even stuffed, still meowing for more.

As the sun set outside, Yu Liang held the little black cat while they enjoyed the breeze in the yard. Nearby, Gua Gua looked on jealously. Suddenly, Yu Yuan, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes and looked toward the study.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu, who had been silent in the study all afternoon, suddenly pushed the door open. The study door slammed against the wall with a dull thud.

"Master! Master! Look at my talisman!"

The floor was covered with discarded yellow and red talisman papers, thrown carelessly, dull and lifeless. Only the talisman in his hand shimmered with a flowing glow, flawless and smooth, the whole paper radiating a sleek shine.

"Master," Zhou Yu bounced over, sweat glistening on his silver hair, catching little sparks of light in the orange sunset glow. "Master, look, did this talisman work? I think I've managed to draw qi into my body!"

He proudly offered the talisman in his hand to Yu Yuan, who was a little surprised.

She had thought that with Zhou Yu's talent, it would take a few more days for him to draw qi into his body, but she didn't expect him to succeed so quickly.

She took the talisman and examined it, slightly surprised by the smooth lines on the paper.

This guy didn't have much talent with spiritual sight, but his skill with talisman drawing was actually pretty good.

Seeing her only disciple excel like this, Yu Yuan couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, "You're not outstanding in the main talent of our sect, but your talent for talismans is high. With diligent practice, becoming a great master one day won't be a problem."

"Really, Master! I can really become a great master one day?" Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

Yu Yuan smiled and nodded, then pulled out a book on talismans from the room. It was something she had copied out in her spare time a few days ago. She had planned to give it to Zhou Yu if he still couldn't draw qi into his body, so he could keep learning.

Now that her disciple had succeeded, the book was still put to good use by chance.

Zhou Yu treasured the book like a prized possession, holding it close to his chest, happily thanking her, "Thank you, Master! I'll work really hard to strengthen our Tianyuan Sect!"

After saying that, he pounced on the little fat cat happily wagging its tail in Yu Liang's arms, "Xiao Hei! Your owner has entered the path! Call me Master Zhou! Master Zhou will reward you with canned fish!"

The little black cat shot him a disdainful glance, full of pride, lifted its head high, and stubbornly refused to make a sound, no matter how much Zhou Yu nagged.

Excited, Zhou Yu ignored the cat's coldness and eagerly shouted in the group chat.

[Zhou Yu: From now on I'm officially a member of the Xuan sect, so everyone better address me properly as Master Zhou!]

Behind his message was a chibi little Taoist in a yellow robe.

He'd been running around with his master for days and hadn't been active in the group for a long time. This was his first message in ages, and it got tons of "???" reactions.

[Beauty Duojiao: Brother Ji, did someone hack your account?]

[It's Yaya: Don't tell me you got into a pyramid scheme?]

[You and Me Under the Lemon Tree: Bro, if you've been kidnapped just say so, we'll call the cops!]

[Beauty Duojiao: Say it twice or no money for you!]

[Zhou Yu: ...]

He sent a voice message. Although his friends teased him a lot, it didn't dampen his joy at drawing qi into his body.

"I wasn't hacked, not in a pyramid scheme, it's really me, no need to call the cops. I've had crazy good luck these days, found a powerful master to take me as a disciple, and now I'm the chief disciple under my master~"

[Beauty Duojiao: Master? Brother Ji, superstition is bad, you know!]

Zhou Yu was the youngest kid in their whole family. When he was little, everyone called him "Zhou Ji." When he grew up and went to school, he started using the full name "Zhou Yu." But old friends from childhood still liked to call him Zhou Ji.

Seeing their good brother fall into superstition, three of the five in the group chat exploded and planned to take Zhou Yu to report it to the police, to fight against the dark forces of superstition.

Zhou Yu explained to them for a long time but just felt mentally drained. After staring at the chat for a while, he noticed that only four people were active in the five-person group; the remaining good buddy hadn't said a word the whole time.

He poked the quiet friend individually, but there was no reply after a long while.

Everyone in the group had grown up together, came from decent families, basically rich kids doing nothing much with their lives—either glued to their phones playing games or scrolling videos. There was no way anyone wouldn't be looking at their phone.

He went back to the group chat.

[Sun Han is dating?]

[Jiangshan Duojiao: I don't think so... I'm not sure, haven't talked to Lao Sun in days.]

[You and Me Under the Lemon Tree: Not sure either, that guy's been missing like he vanished, no clue where he's been.]

[It's Yaya: I tried calling him yesterday, didn't get through. Has anyone else contacted him recently?]

[Zhou Yu: I just messaged him, no reply... wait, he replied.]

Suddenly a WeChat message popped up on his phone, sent by Sun Han.

[Sun Han: Brother Zhou, you joined the Xuan path? Celestial Master Hall?]

Seeing his buddy reply, Zhou Yu let out a breath he'd been holding. [You still know Celestial Master Hall! Hahaha, but no, my master is way more powerful than Celestial Master Hall!]

[Sun Han: More powerful than Celestial Master Hall?]

After a moment, Sun Han continued, [Brother Ji, I'm in some trouble. Can you help me? I've seen a master from Celestial Master Hall, but it didn't work.]

Zhou Yu's heart jumped. [What's wrong? Possessed?]

[Sun Han: Probably... I've got some things growing on me...]

After a minute, he sent some photos. Zhou Yu clicked curious but almost spat out his lunch when he saw the first image.

In the picture, a skinny, bony body was covered with countless tiny faces emerging from under the skin, as if hundreds of different expressions were trying to break through and crawl out of the flesh.
