Niannian didn't care what Yusheng was thinking at all.
She called Yusheng "Second Brother" purely out of politeness.
When passing by any young men or women on the street, the little girl would address them as "Brother" or "Sister" without any special feelings.
But the "Second Brother" on the phone was different.
He was her senior brother who doted on her so much.
"Well, it's not a big deal. I was just divining for someone, but I can't quite understand the result," said the little girl and repeated what she had just told the Fourth Senior Brother. Her attitude was so affectionate and her voice so sweet.
"Oh, that's it. You didn't make a mistake. The old guy always says that your divination skills are top - notch. If even you can make a mistake, then perhaps only the old guy can read this fate," said the second senior brother.
"So there must be something else wrong. I once heard that there is a kind of magic that can connect the fates of two people, which may lead to the situation you described."
"After this magic is successfully cast, the fates of the connected people will become more and more similar. Their luck and sins will be equally divided, and the person under the spell will gradually take on the characteristics of the spell - caster."
"If it's really this kind of magic, the fate you calculated from the birth date is the person's original fate. What you see from the face is the result after the two people's fates are connected, and the result divined by the six - line divination is exactly the fate of the spell - caster."
Niannian was extremely smart when it came to metaphysics.
While Yusheng was completely confused, Niannian could understand it instantly.
The little girl nodded suddenly and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Second Brother! Second Brother, do you have any trouble there?"
Niannian actually noticed the strange noises from her second senior brother's side. But since he sounded so relaxed and comfortable when talking, she didn't think much about it. She only asked after they had finished talking about the main thing.
"It's okay. I met a beautiful ghost blocking the way. I'll just kill it."
"Okay, then Second Brother, you go ahead. I'll hang up first."
Niannian hung up the phone without hesitation. Hearing the busy tone on the other end, the second senior brother was both angry and amused. He scolded the little heartless on his lips, but his eyes were full of doting.
After hanging up the phone, the little girl shook her head and murmured, "Oh, Second Brother is being disobedient again. How can he be distracted when getting rid of a ghost? What if he gets hurt? He really doesn't let Niannian worry less."
"Niannian, why do you call him Second Brother? Who is he?"
Yusheng couldn't hold it in any longer.
His heart was aching and sour.
"Ah, he's my second senior brother. Because the second senior brother said that every time we call him 'Second Senior Brother', he would think of Marshal Tianpeng. This title doesn't match his handsome image, so he asked us to call him 'Second Brother'," Niannian answered every question.
She didn't know what was wrong with associating with Marshal Tianpeng.
He was a true god in the sky. Shouldn't one be happy to have the same title as a true god?
But since the second senior brother had such a request, as a well - behaved child, she would surely agree.
Yusheng somehow imagined a pig's face with a big head and big ears behind that unruly voice just now, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Indeed.
Second Senior Brother...
Seeing Second Brother laughing like a fool, Niannian frowned.
Was Second Brother scared silly after hearing that he was under a spell?
The little girl thought she should say something, but she was just a little girl who didn't understand the ways of the world and didn't know how to comfort others. So she could only say dryly to Yusheng, "Second Brother, don't be too scared. Since we already know the reason, I'm sure I can solve it."
"Ah?"
Yusheng, who had been immersed in his fantasy, just remembered that he seemed to have been harmed.
He threw all the messy thoughts in his head behind and quickly asked seriously, "Is there really a way? If it's too difficult, I can tell Dad to find another master to take a look."
Yusheng thought that his words were out of concern for his sister.
A spell! It sounded very dangerous.
What if his sister got tired for his sake?
What if she was in danger?
So he thought that if it was really necessary, he could ask his father to find another master to solve it for him. He had no idea that these words were a great insult to any person in the metaphysical world.
"I can do it!"
Niannian puffed up her cheeks angrily, put her hands on her hips and stared at Yusheng.
Sure enough, Second Brother was so annoying!
What did he mean?
Was he saying that she was weak?
Was he despising her and thinking that she didn't have the ability to solve this?
Was he thinking that she had learned nothing all these years?
Both her master and senior brothers said that she was very powerful!
She wasn't weak!
The little girl suddenly got angry, and Yusheng was stunned.
He had no idea which word of his had offended his sister. He could only smile awkwardly.
"Okay, okay, Niannian can solve it. My sister is the most powerful."
"Humph!"
The little girl proudly raised her head and snorted from her nose. Then she took out a blank yellow paper from her small satchel.
She took out a cinnabar brush, bit the penholder and thought for a moment, then quickly started drawing on the yellow paper.
About fifteen minutes later, Niannian made the last stroke.
Then she casually pasted the talisman on Yusheng.
She closed her eyes, pinched the incantation gesture and recited the spell.
As the spell was recited, the talisman on Yusheng began to emit an intermittent light.
When she opened her eyes again, the world in front of Niannian turned gray - white.
She stared intently at Yusheng and saw countless black threads densely twined around him.
One of the threads penetrated Yusheng's heart and was connected to an unknown place.
Niannian stared straight at the black thread on Yusheng's heart. She took out a seven - star copper coin sword from her small satchel and began to wave it around Yusheng.
Her movements were neat and a bit crazy.
After all, Yusheng couldn't see anything. All he felt was that Niannian was jumping around him, just like the witches on TV.
Niannian had almost cut off all the other black threads.
Only the one penetrating the heart was left.
"Second Brother, bear with it."
"What?"
Yusheng didn't understand what Niannian meant.
The next second, the severe pain in his heart almost made him faint.
He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and barely kept himself conscious.
The pain in his heart spread throughout his body, making him paralyzed in bed and unable to move.
After the last thread was cut off, Niannian recited the spell again and closed her celestial eye.
She also casually tore off the talisman.
"You've been under the spell for too long, and even your soul has been affected. After I cut off the spell on you, the spell - caster will be backlashed, and you will also suffer pain. But don't worry, it will be over soon," Niannian said calmly while watching Yusheng grimace in pain.
This spell was special. While connecting the fates, it also connected the lives of both parties.
If one prospered, the other would prosper; if one suffered, the other would suffer.
So even though Yusheng was just a poor victim under the spell, at the moment when the spell was cut off, while the other person was suffering a severe backlash, he would also be affected.
Yusheng was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word.
He just lay in bed like a dead fish.
Damn it!
Who on earth had he offended?
Don't let him find out who the bastard was who had cast the spell on him!
Or he would definitely dig up the bastard's ancestral grave!
