In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone on Lu Heng's face through the window.
"Hmm hmm ah ah ah ah ah..."
He slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a comfortable hum.
The Taiyi Five Qi Spell is indeed worthy of being an Immortal Cultivation Technique!
Cultivating through the night, he felt better than doing handiwork, to the point where it was hard to extricate himself.
The so-called goddesses of the previous life, Mo Mo, Ji, Miao Miao, Pudding, and Mao Qiu, transformed into mere skeletons at this moment, unable to tempt him anymore.
Amitabha... No, it should be Boundless Celestial Venerable!
This poor Taoist's heart is as calm as still water, the sage remains eternal!
Meanwhile, while he was immersed in cultivation, the internet was bustling.
After a night of fermentation, Hu's live scandal-catching event became even more explosive, even making it to the trending list on Weibo.
Some unexpectedly leaked live footage further piqued everyone's interest.
Especially the "sister-in-law's" moan; who knows how many men shivered at that sound.
"Hu is a top streamer, yet his wife still cheated... Another day of marriage phobia!"
"Who knows if it's true? These influencers will do anything to get famous."
"It's absolutely true! I witnessed Hu catching the betrayal in the live room, totally thrilling!"
"Hateful that his wife cheated on him, even more hateful that she didn't cheat on me!"
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? That's not okay! A little lower, sister-in-law..."
"It's bad enough she cheated, but even worse, the child in her belly isn't his."
"Holy sh*t, that's over the line! Are the adulterers planning to make him raise their child?"
"Boo hoo... Don't leave, as long as you stay, I'm willing to have the child carry my name!"
"Pathetic simp!"
While discussing Hu, a small group also noticed Lu Heng.
Riding this wave, Lu Heng managed to gain some fame.
Countless people deleted their followings, waiting for his streaming ban to be lifted so they could verify this fortune-telling master's authenticity.
...
Seven days later, Lu Heng, already accustomed to the temple life, woke from cultivation.
"System!"
He silently summoned his system interface in his mind.
Host: Lu Heng (Taoist name: Qingfeng)
Age: 18
Condition: Terminal blood cancer, near death
Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 1
Technique: Taiyi Five Qi Spell
Magical Treasure: None
Life Span: 3
[System Notice: Due to the host's terminal blood cancer, only 19 days of life remain. Please extend your lifespan promptly or face certain death...]
19 days?
Hearing the system notice, Lu Heng was momentarily stunned.
Initially, after the transmigration, he had a 30-day lifespan.
For fortune-telling Hu, he used up 6 days.
Adding the past 7 days, there should've been 17 days left, so why did it become 19 days?
He counted on his fingers and toes for a long time but couldn't reconcile it.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Could it be that recent cultivation extended my life by two days?"
Understanding this, he couldn't help but find it amusing.
Cultivation is good, but spending 7 days for 2 feels like a drop in the ocean!
But fortunately, his streaming room was unbanned today.
Silly fans, your emperor is back!
The sexy Celestial Master will stir up a storm on the internet once more!
At 6 p.m., after dinner.
Checking his unbanned streaming room, Lu Heng donned his mask and resumed streaming.
The friends who followed him on the Douhu platform received system notifications instantly.
In just a few minutes, fans swarmed in by the thousands.
The popularity, previously at zero, shot up to over 100,000.
This left Lu Heng a bit taken aback.
He glanced at the follower count in his streaming room.
Goodness!
When did the followers grow from a single-digit to nearly 100,000?
This was only his second stream.
During the last session, there were only a few small shrimp.
This rapid fan growth was thanks to Hu.
As a top streamer on Douhu, Hu's popularity is undeniable.
Even outside of Douhu, Hu holds significant influence.
The live catching of adultery entertained countless thrill-seekers.
Some even edited the incident into short videos and uploaded them to major short video platforms.
All at once, netizens were all shocked.
Why do we surf the internet?
For a good laugh, isn't it?
What could be more amusing than a live infidelity scene?
So, Hu tragically became viral!
Predicting Hu's wife's affair and the child having another father made Lu Heng a topic of interest as well.
Who wouldn't want to know a genuine fortune master?
Everyone's a bit lost about the future; who wouldn't want to know about lotteries, girlfriends, wealth?
Hence, when the Douhu platform's streaming notification came, the fans rushed into Lu Heng's streaming room with lightning speed.
This included Hu, who hadn't appeared over the past seven days.
Upon entering the chat, Hu sent over 200 Cloud-Piercing Arrows without a word.
One Cloud-Piercing Arrow equals 500 bucks.
200 means 100,000 bucks!
A mere 100,000 bucks is nothing to a rich second generation.
"Master, thank you for your help!"
"If it weren't for you, I'd still be in the dark about those filthy adulterers."
"I probably won't be streaming for a while."
"When I resume, I'll come to find you again..."
After leaving a few words, Hu's avatar turned dark.
"Such a poor honest man!"
Seeing this, Lu Heng lightly shook his head.
Hu is a good guy, despite being a rich second-generation; his character is commendable.
It's a pity this world is so disgusting.
If they don't betray honest men like him, should they betray the players?
If they were to mess with players, who knows who would outwit whom.
"Why pine for a flower when there are countless in bloom worldwide?"
"Don't sacrifice yourself for one tree when the whole forest is in front of you, Brother Hu!"
"Hu, brothers are like limbs, women like clothes! Without clothes, you're still my brother!"
"Ahem... may I pick up that piece of clothing?"
"Damn it! Just let me spot that Feng character, I'll beat him up for Hu!"
"Bro, don't be rash! If you get into trouble, your wife might cheat too."
"Damn! Can't you guys have some positive energy?"
Most of the fans in Lu Heng's streaming room are Hu's followers who came with him back then.
They enjoy the spectacle, but are genuinely concerned about Hu's wellbeing.
After all, if Hu can't stream due to heartbreak, who will they turn to for entertainment?
Come on, brothers, be human!
