The huge mouth at the back of Song Yixuan's head swallowed the vengeful old woman whole.
To ordinary people, it just seemed like Song Yixuan was tidying his hair.
"Conditions?! What conditions?"
Mrs. Sun was overjoyed. In her eyes, it was definitely more important for her daughter to become a minor celebrity on streaming media than to go to school. While other kids in the kindergarten were taking English tutoring classes, she had signed Sun Wenwen up for the star training course of Taoran Media, hoping that her daughter could make a fortune effortlessly in the future.
In just two or three years, Taoran Media had cultivated several moderately popular internet celebrities. As soon as their training institution opened, it attracted countless parents with star - dreaming kids.
Mrs. Sun wanted to take advantage of the incident where Sun Wenwen had almost been scalded by boiling water to blackmail Taoran Media into taking responsibility for her daughter.
There was still a faint smile on Song Yixuan's face. "To become an artist of our company, you have to pass my test first!"
"You?! What do you want to do?!"
Mrs. Sun recognized Song Yixuan. He was a minor celebrity who had been extremely popular at the end of last year! It was said that he had once been an ordinary person and was packaged and debuted by Taoran Media, then he suddenly became famous!
It was said that he had broken his waist some time ago. It was feared that he wouldn't even be able to stand up, let alone sing, dance or perform. During the live - stream on the phone, he had earned a lot of tears from his fans...
But now he seemed to be completely unharmed. It seemed to be another successful hype!
Mrs. Sun was somewhat envious.
Song Yixuan was closest to Sun Wenwen. With his long arms, he reached out and stroked Sun Wenwen's head. "If Princess Wenwen sacrifices her soul to me, I'll make her a top - tier celebrity!"
"Don't mess around!" Mrs. Sun tried to stop Song Yixuan from touching her daughter. "Our daughter wants to be a pure and innocent actress. We won't accept any under - the - table deals!!"
"Stop!!"
While Mrs. Sun and Song Yixuan were talking nonsense, I shouted in horror.
In my eyes, Song Yixuan was not a normal human being at all. His entire spine was like a coiled spring that propped up his body. There was a fist - sized single eye embedded at the back of his skull, looking at me sideways with a sinister smile. And in the palm of the hand that Song Yixuan stretched out towards Sun Wenwen, a one - inch - long crack had already opened. With a "gurgle", a huge blood - red eyeball rolled out and seeped into the Baihui acupoint on top of Sun Wenwen's head while I was scolding sharply.
"Let go of that child!"
I rushed forward, drew an exorcism talisman and slapped it on Sun Wenwen's glabella.
The essence of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother was just an old ghost. It had become a god - like existence relying on people's offerings born out of fear and greed.
Using the exorcism talisman to drive out the ghost eye that had just invaded Sun Wenwen's body was the safest measure for her.
Sun Wenwen was slapped on the forehead by me. She "wow"ed and spat out a mouthful of blackish plasma, then cried out, "Mommy... Mommy, she hit me!!"
"You hurt my daughter. How can you compensate for that?!"
Mrs. Sun had never seen her daughter spitting out such a large amount of blood. She was so scared that her face turned pale and came up to tear my clothes!
"Get your daughter back quickly!"
I scolded sharply, "That's a thing whose body has been occupied by an evil ghost. How dare you hand your daughter over to him?!"
Originally, I planned to force out the clone of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother in Sun Wenwen's body with the talisman and then pull her away from Song Yixuan. But unexpectedly, after Sun Wenwen spat out the blood, she hugged Song Yixuan's leg and hid behind him.
I was really speechless about this mother - daughter pair. They were greedy, stupid and extremely self - opinionated!
"Have you ever seen a person with a severely fractured spine be able to move normally in just a few dozen days?!"
Since the Sun family mother and daughter had attended the training course of Taoran Media, they should know more about the company's artists than I did. Didn't they have the slightest suspicion about the miracle that had happened to Song Yixuan?
"Miss Du, you're a 'master' and know magic too."
Song Yixuan said unhurriedly, "Don't you believe in the power of faith?"
"Humph! Only a fool would believe that!" I sneered.
"I believe it!"
Song Yixuan reached up and pulled out a grayish - white One - Eyed Heavenly Pearl from his neck. It seemed like he was explaining it to me, but his eyes were actually looking at Mrs. Sun. "This is the Tibetan god I worship, the most noble One - Eyed Buddha Mother. Miss Du, you should know my injury best. I fell from the window of a building and my bones were shattered into pieces..."
As he said this, his eyes rolled and he looked maliciously at Wang Yingxiu lying on my shoulder. He grinned and then continued, "It was because I believed in the Buddha Mother that I was able to stand up again! And... I've just realized that the reason I became famous and won the grand prize in the national music competition was actually the blessing of the Buddha Mother!"
There was an almost fanatical light in his eyes.
"Really?"
Before I could refute, there was already a look of greed and envy on Mrs. Sun's face. She quickly stepped forward, put her hands together and asked, "Teacher Song, is this Heavenly Pearl very expensive? How did you get it? If we worship the Buddha Mother you mentioned, can it also make our Wenwen a celebrity?!"
"How stupid..."
I was just about to stop this money - grubbing woman when Si Jiangchen reached out and covered my mouth. He gently whispered in my ear, "Can you save people whose minds are clouded by greed?"
"But doesn't she think that even the Buddha required his believers to offer three dou and three sheng of gold beans when preaching! How could that evil cult thing make people famous, rich or fully recover from their injuries for free?!"
"Do you think it's useful to tell them?"
Si Jiangchen glanced at the jade Buddha on the ground with its "head separated from its body".
How could the Sun family mother and daughter have any faith in their eyes?! They only saw the immediate benefits. How could people who even picked up and kept things from the dead be changed by just a few of my words?
After hearing Si Jiangchen's words, I pursed my lips and didn't know how to refute.
"We came here to find Wang Yingxiu. Now that we've found her, let's leave here."
Although Si Jiangchen couldn't see Wang Yingxiu or the overwhelming yin energy, he could see Song Yixuan... There were many people here, and he didn't want me to meddle in other people's business and get caught by Taoran Media for something.
"Axiu, come with me!"
Wang Yingxiu lying on me had been seriously injured while protecting Sun Wenwen. She didn't show much emotional fluctuation even when she saw Song Yixuan. She just coldly lay on my back, glaring at that scumbag with venomous eyes.
Song Yixuan could catch that ghostly old woman, so he should also be able to see ghosts. But he wasn't affected at all by Wang Yingxiu on my shoulder. He still talked eloquently to the Sun family mother and daughter, preaching the miracles of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother to them.
When Song Yixuan said that the One - Eyed Buddha Mother was looking for a national - level internet celebrity as her "spokesperson", the greed in Mrs. Sun's eyes was completely undisguised. "Us!! Our Wenwen is definitely up to it!!"
