[Holy crap, this snake-mother statue is fucking creepy, why do I feel hot all over just looking at it?!]
[Snakes are inherently lustful. This bronze statue is sculpted so provocatively. Going by how things usually are in this live stream, this thing definitely has something 'ghostly' about it.]
[Could it be some kind of aphrodisiac effect, like directly controlling people into 'furnace cauldrons' and sucking them dry of their bones and blood? Tsk tsk tsk, a bit exciting!]
The netizens, never one to shy away from drama, could see everything clearly through the phone held by the Fortunate Viewer. He dropped the bronze statue as if he'd been electrocuted.
Then, he shook his head vigorously, trying his best not to dwell on the snake-mother's appearance, and the abnormal sensation in his lower body slowly receded.
This was far from normal. He prided himself on not being some energetic young man in his early twenties who would get hot and bothered at the slightest provocation.
On the contrary, his brain's excitement threshold was relatively high; to truly react, he needed a considerably strong stimulus.
Such a bizarre scene made him forget his "righteously indignant" threats to catch the woman.
He anxiously asked, "Master, what... what is going on? What exactly is that bronze statue...?"
Before asking this question, he already had many conjectures in his mind. After all, what normal person would carry such a monstrous thing in their bag?
His outburst now was purely out of fright. The woman was still in the bathroom, and she had been in there for a while, likely to come out any minute.
If he hadn't found it beforehand, during their "deep exchange" later, he might have lost his life right here. Thinking of this, the Fortunate Viewer grew even angrier.
Hadn't he been good enough to that woman? Hundreds of thousands in tips, just given without a second thought. Bags, jewelry, cars what hadn't he fulfilled? And in return, she wanted to kill him?
"Bah, ungrateful wretch, an ungrateful beast." The Fortunate Viewer couldn't help but curse out loud.
Yaoyao heard his foul language and frowned faintly. She childishly reminded him, "Uncle, you shouldn't be impolite and say bad words!"
Hearing this, the Fortunate Viewer choked on a mouthful of curses. He was counting on this little child to save his life, so of course, he obediently listened.
Seeing him immediately correct himself, Yaoyao sweetly smiled and then answered the Fortunate Viewer's question.
"Uncle, that bronze statue is a Snake Mother. It's from the Jiangtou (black magic/sorcery) lineage of the Southern Seas."
"A big brother in the live stream just now wasn't wrong. The biggest function of the Snake Mother statue is to provoke lust."
"Someone afflicted by the Snake Mother's Jiangtou will become the caster's 'furnace cauldron'. They will not only be completely infatuated with the caster but will also, like small animals... uncontrollably go into heat."
"Two weeks later, if there are no accidents, those afflicted will all be drained of their bones and blood by the Snake Mother, becoming mummified corpses."
This was also a characteristic of Jiangtou magic: it harms and kills, and its essence is consumption. The more people it kills, the stronger its power becomes.
In that brief glance, Yaoyao noticed that the bronze Snake Mother already had a somewhat human appearance.
Evidently, it had already consumed many living people before this. The Fortunate Viewer was likely the key to its "activation."
No wonder a bloody cloud hovered over the Fortunate Viewer's head. He probably wouldn't even have to wait two weeks; his fatal calamity was almost certainly today.
At this moment, the live stream room was empty, and Yaoyao's voice reached the Fortunate Viewer's ears with utmost clarity.
They were light, airy words, yet they caused a cold sweat to break out on his back. If he died such a death, it would truly bring shame to his ancestors.
"Save me, Master, please save me... How much money do you need? I can give you anything..."
The Fortunate Viewer's face was red and his neck thick with agitation. If he weren't too proud, he would have knelt down.
The netizens, upon hearing this, almost burst out laughing, cursing him for getting what he deserved. Who told him to be so arrogant just now? Karma had caught up!
"Uncle, I can save you, but... you have to do everything I say next, okay? Otherwise, there'll be no way."
Yaoyao blinked her dark, glistening eyes, her expression exceptionally serious. If someone familiar were present, they would notice a hint of cunning flashing beneath her gaze.
The Fortunate Viewer was emotionally tense at the moment, so he naturally couldn't detect anything unusual. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
"Of course! If you can save me, I'll do anything you ask."
He initially thought it would be some strict demand. Upon hearing that it was just about following instructions, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Even if Yaoyao hadn't said it, he would certainly have asked for guidance. His mind was blank right now, and if left to his own devices, he would be hard-pressed to come up with a solution.
Yet, despite this preparedness, the Fortunate Viewer was still shocked, his pupils constricting, by what the Master said next.
"Uncle, now, take the Snake Mother statue out again and place it directly on the table."
"Take... take it out?" The Fortunate Viewer's voice suddenly became shrill, cracking.
His eyes were filled with disbelief. Just a moment ago, the Master had said this thing would kill him. Taking it out now wasn't just asking for death?
But in response to his question, the latter showed no intention of explaining, merely gazing at him calmly, her small face seeming to say, "You have to listen to me."
The Fortunate Viewer fell silent. Suddenly, he heard a click, and the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
He shuddered all over, realizing that the other person must have finished bathing and he had no time to think. He simply hardened his heart and did as the Master instructed.
The bronze-colored Snake Mother statue, under the lamplight, subtly glowed with a multicolored halo.
The Fortunate Viewer still remembered the earlier abnormality and now dared not look directly at it, fearing he would make a fool of himself again.
The netizens were also curious why the Master wanted him to take the item out. They were currently "brainstorming" in the comment section!
Just then, the movement in the bathroom finally ceased. Hearing a "click," a woman wrapped in a bathrobe emerged.
This woman's face was like peach and plum blossoms, and her figure was plump and shapely. Her hair, half-dry, draped over her shoulders, and the slightly open neckline of her robe revealed a dazzling expanse of white skin.
"Xuan Ge, you've waited long enough. Let's... enjoy ourselves together."
The woman's bewitching eyes were like silk, like a seductive enchantress. But her fiery and unrestrained voice hadn't even finished when it abruptly stopped.
The reason was simple: she saw the bronze Snake Mother statue on the table. At that moment, her peach-like complexion instantly darkened.
"You went through my bag?" Her voice had lost all its earlier softness, replaced only by endless fury.
The Fortunate Viewer, with his sharp eyes, also noticed that patches of greenish snake scales had appeared on her pale white face at some point.
Her appearance was identical to the Snake Mother statue, and even her eyes had turned into terrifying pale yellow vertical pupils...
"So what if I did?! You... what the hell are you?"
"I've fed you well, given you good drinks, and you want to kill me, you bastard?! And now you have the nerve to question me?! Go to hell, you bitch, die for me!"
The Fortunate Viewer couldn't help but shrink his neck a bit, feeling a little scared when the woman's vertical pupils swept over him.
But the moment he thought of her numerous schemes, his fear instantly dissipated by more than half. He pointed at her nose, cursing as foully as possible.
Seeing the Fortunate Viewer so hysterical, the woman's brow slightly arched, and her grim face suddenly broke into a smile.
"You dog of a man, you really are a noble person with a short memory, aren't you? You ask me why I want to kill you? What reason is needed?"
"I'll kill if I want to, just like when you made me get an abortion back then it was just a matter of a single word. Song Chenxuan, you can't be so double-standard."
The woman's eerie snake eyes blinked, and her crimson lips slowly curved upwards.
The Fortunate Viewer was instantly enraged upon hearing her words. "What nonsense are you spouting? I haven't even slept with you, which abortion are you talking about"
It wasn't that he was "playing pure love"; it was simply that this woman was too hard to reel in. He had truly exerted tremendous effort to finally get her.
He was just about to "pluck the fruit" when he unexpectedly ran into this frustrating mess. If he had known earlier, he would have thrown the money into the water just for the sound of it, rather than giving it to this woman.
The woman laughed at his furious curses. "This face, of course, you haven't slept with. I spent a fortune to make it specifically to your liking!"
As these words left her mouth, the Fortunate Viewer's face instantly changed drastically. He hastily looked at his phone, clearly asking for the Master's help.
Yaoyao said, "She wasn't wrong, Uncle. When you made her abort the child, this older sister was greatly affected and her mind became somewhat dazed. She then got into a car accident when she went out."
As fate would have it, she was thrown by the impact, and her face happened to hit the ground. Under the immense force of the car, her face scraped along the asphalt, and her flesh became utterly mangled.
Her appearance was ruined, and coupled with being abandoned, under this double blow, she directly went abroad. Later, she met a Jiangtou master from the Southern Seas...
"The Snake Mother Jiangtou needs a living person as a vessel. This older sister, to get revenge on Uncle, willingly housed the Snake Mother. So, Uncle, this is your destined calamity!"
Yaoyao said in her crisp voice. This was also why she made him take out the Snake Mother statue. After all, some things are more direct when the parties involved clarify them face-to-face.
And this uncle wasn't a purely good person. Yaoyao could ensure he didn't lose his life, but as for his good reputation... she wasn't planning on helping him preserve it!
[Holy crap, this plot twist has my head buzzing!]
What was initially thought to be a ghostly supernatural story suddenly transformed into a revenge-on-a-scumbag feel-good novel in an instant. The netizens' emotions immediately boiled over.
The Fortunate Viewer hadn't expected to be tricked by this little child. His face instantly turned green then purple, then purple then white, yet he didn't dare to utter a single sound.
Because in his sight, the female online celebrity he had hooked up with and couldn't recall was which abortion lover had also realized that he couldn't remember her at all.
This made her hatred seem like a joke, and she pounced on him in a fit of rage.
"Heartless man, no one can save you today! You must die!"
The woman flicked out a long snake tongue and shrieked as she pounced. Her movements were swift, far exceeding normal human limits.
"Aaah, Master, save me!" The Fortunate Viewer's pupils constricted. He screamed without a second's hesitation.
Yaoyao had already prepared, so naturally, she wouldn't let the Fortunate Viewer get into trouble in the live stream.
Therefore, as the woman controlled by the Snake Mother moved, Yaoyao's long-prepared incantations also began to echo through the room.
