Chapter 33: Repays Gratitude (Part 4)

May 27, 2023Ai Hrist

Xiao Ma smiled wryly and said: “I wonder if I was a snake in my previous life.”

After she finished speaking, the program team released a few photos and two surveillance videos of Xiao Ma’s house.

All the photos were of bloody animal carcasses, and the big snake more than one meter long in the surveillance was wandering around Xiao Ma’s bedside with a prey hanging down in its mouth.

Host Liu said: “After we received this surveillance and photos, we immediately became very interested in what happened to Miss Ma and her husband, so we came to their villa.”

Xun Yiqing nodded and said: “It seems that the ‘Immortal Spirit’ who is following you is a snake immortal. It is not intended to intimidate you, but to present these to you as a ‘gift’.”

“It’s just that I can also feel the breath of the snake immortal on your husband’s body. Has he been bitten by snakes during this time?”

Xiao Li nodded and said:

“I was bitten by a poisonous snake last month. Fortunately, it was next to the hospital, so I was not seriously injured. When I was hit by a potted plant some time ago, I looked up and saw a brown snake coiled on the window sill of that building; on one occasion, when I opened the car door, I saw it was covered in animal waste … there are many more things like this.”

He smiled wryly: “If this ‘Immortal Spirit’ is protecting my wife, then I am very grateful to it, but why is it so hostile to me?”

Xun Yiqing said: “Well, I’ll try to communicate with it, but I can’t guarantee it will work.”

Like the psychic animals that followed Xiao Ma, half of their feet stepped into the immortal gate, they can no longer be called monsters. The people in the Taoist Sect treat them with courtesy and don’t do anything to harm them.

Two minutes later, Xun Yiqing opened his eyes and shook his head, “No, this one’s skills are not shallow, and it also refuses to communicate with me.”

[Oh my God, my scalp is going to explode when I watch the video on the monitor. I’m really afraid of a thick snake like that. If I were Sister Bai Fumei, I will be scared to death on the spot!]

[It’s so amazing, could it be that Sister Ma saved the Snake Immortal when she was young, and the Snake Immortal came to repay her kindness?]

[Forgive me for reading too many comics, but I feel a little emotional…]

[Please let the Immortal Master Bai Ci communicate with it, doesn’t he also have immortal spirits?]

[Anyway, as for Mr. Li, the husband of this young lady, is the Immortal Spirit going to kill him?]

After Xun Yiqing left, the audience in the live broadcast room had their brains wide open, and they had already diverged to the point where the snake immortal fell in love with a female human, and he loves her so much that he wanted to kill her husband.

Host Liu said: “May I invite the next Contestant No. #2, Bai Ci.”

As soon as Bai Ci walked in through the gate, Host Liu said with a smile: “Contestant Bai Ci, how does it feel for you to be the finale of this show?”

However, Bai Ci only looked at Xiao Ma, then his face immediately turned pale.

He stopped and took a step back, bowed slightly in Xiao Ma’s direction, and then said to Host Liu: “I’m sorry, I abstained from this issue. This lady should be the one who asked for help in this session, she has an Immortal Spirit, I can’t control this matter.”

After speaking, Bai Ci bowed again, then turned around and walked outside the villa.

Host Liu didn’t know what to do, when the voice of the director team came from the headset: “If he abstains, just invite the next one.”

Host Liu reacted quickly and continued directly: “Then let’s invite the last contestant, Contestant No. #7, Gu Zhisang, to come on stage.”

[Are you ready? The correct answer is coming to us!]

[Finally, it’s Sister Sangsang!! The little yellow paper figure on her shoulder is so cute.]

[I’m laughing to death, Xiao Ci ran away in a hurry, but he directly sensed that there was an immortal spirit beside Sister Ma, which showed that he was really capable.]

Gu Zhisang, who was waiting in the studio, was a little surprised to hear the summons. Because Bai Ci only entered the set three minutes ago.

She got up to go in there, and just as she reached the door of the villa, she saw a figure passing by.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, she turned her side to block the camera position in front of the door and put her hands in her pockets calmly.

The staff at the door said: “I’m sorry, Sister Gu, Bai Ci left temporarily, so I arranged for you to go there now.”

“It’s fine.”

After she walked into the villa, the staff turned their heads and looked around, but they didn’t see the figure they were looking for.

“Where is Contestant Bai Ci? Why he disappeared?”

*

After entering the villa and saying hello to Host Liu, Gu Zhisang’s gaze also looked directly in the direction of Xiao Ma like He Mitu.

Her gaze was looking straight at the top of her head as if she was looking at something in the void.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Master Gu.” Xiao Ma was looking forward to it. Because she thought Gu Zhisang was the most powerful contestant in “Spiritual Affairs”, and she followed the whole link live broadcast this morning, feeling scared and heartbroken watching it.

“Your soul fire is a bit weak, haven’t you slept well recently?” Gu Zhisang said, raising her hand and tapping Xiao Ma’s left and right shoulders twice with her fingertips.

Her fingertips touched the air, but Xiao Ma suddenly felt a warm current pour into her somewhat tired body.

She looked at Gu Zhisang in surprise.

Xiao Ma didn’t know, but in Gu Zhisang’s eyes, the two fires on her shoulders were flickering restlessly, and the flames were faintly small.

Seeing her face and seeing a child line in her child’s womb that has not been fully connected, Gu Zhisang knew that she was pregnant, and also knew that if she was always in a tense state, it would be difficult for the child in her belly. It won’t be good for her.

So she gathered the soul fire for Xiao Ma and injected her with some spiritual energy.

Gu Zhisang said: “Since you’re pregnant, don’t think too much. You guys came to the show to ask about what happened to you, right?”

Xiao Ma nodded repeatedly.

She immediately said: “Then let me tell you, there is a snake spirit by your side.”

Several mysterious masters earlier mentioned this before, so the people present were not very surprised.

Xiao Ma said: “The mysterious masters earlier said the same thing, but I still want to know why it appeared by my side. I want to thank it for saving me, but I also want to ask it not to torture my husband anymore.”

Gu Zhisang: “???”

“Do you think the snake spirit came because of you? And because of you, it’s targeting your man?”

Xiao Ma was stunned, and said: “Isn’t that so?”

“Of course not, it has nothing to do with you why it comes to you. It made a contract, so the person it wants to protect has never been you, but the fetus in your womb. It is because of the child’s paternal line that he chose to be with you. “

Gu Zhisang smiled, but her eyes were a little cold.

“It haunts your man because this man is a scum who is not filial to his parents.”

Xiao Li’s complexion changed again and again. Especially when he heard ‘Gu Zhisang’ say that he was unfilial to his parents, he almost jumped off the sofa.

The audience in the live broadcast room was in an uproar.

When the mystics in front confirmed one by one that the snake immortal appeared to protect Xiao Ma, Gu Zhisang said in a firm tone that it appeared because of the paternal’s lineage.

[The story reversed again?! Sure enough, we have to wait for Sister Sang’s turn!]

[But it doesn’t make sense, the man protects his wife and children, so why did the snake spirit attack him?]

Xiao Ma looked horrified and quickly retorted firmly:

“Impossible! Master Gu, did you miscalculate? My husband’s parents died in an accident when he was 14 or 15 years old. How can he be filial to his parents? Even if he did something naughty when he was young, after so many years, he works hard outside alone, isn’t it because he doesn’t have his parents to help him.”

Hearing this, Gu Zhisang frowned and looked at the pale young man surnamed Li with a half-smile.

“It turns out that your husband told you that he lost his parents when he was a teenager, but when I look at his parents’ palace, the fortune line representing father shows he died 3 years ago, which means that his biological father died 3 years ago.”

“The smoothness of his left forehead also shows that his father is an honest man who cares about his children and is eager to dedicate everything he has to him. He owes nothing to your husband for raising him.”

“Miss Ma, do you still feel that your husband is a lonely, innocent, and pitiful man?”

After Gu Zhisang finished speaking, Xiao Ma opened her mouth and was speechless for a while.

She finally glanced at her husband beside her in a daze, and asked: “Is this true? Aren’t you an orphan?”

Gu Zhisang rested her chin on her sallow fingertips, and her eyes fell on Xiao Ma’s head.

She saw behind her, in a place that ordinary people couldn’t see, a white snake with a length of more than ten meters shining brightly standing behind her;

The long snake’s scales were white with golden threads, and a pair of fleshy bumps protruded from both sides of the snake’s belly as if new limbs were about to grow out of it.

It also has a pair of thumb-sized bulging horns on the top of its head.

The snake has claws and horns. When it encounters water, it will become a dragon.

Hearing Xiao Ma’s questioning voice, it slowly opened a pair of long vertical pupils and then looked at the pale-faced man surnamed Li.
