The popularity of the "Tales of Immortals and Demons" live stream is growing.
Looking at the backend data, Zhang Shaozhong felt a surge of joy; at least he wouldn't have to eat noodles every day anymore.
But relying solely on live stream donations barely covers daily expenses.
Zhang Shaozhong always kept in mind his ultimate plan of "online traffic generation and offline service".
That day, he was figuring out how to "casually" mention during his live stream that they could provide "in-depth environmental consulting" services when a private message from an unknown number popped up.
The sender's ID was "Anxious Old Wang," and the profile picture was of a middle-aged man in a suit with a worried expression.
"Hello, host. I apologize for bothering you. I've been following 'Tales of Immortals and Demons' for a long time and I think you're a truly skilled master. I've recently encountered a very tricky situation, which might... might be a bit beyond the realm of ordinary logic. I wonder if you could help me out? The price is negotiable!"
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat. Here they come!
Business is coming in!
He suppressed his excitement and replied in a calm and professional tone: "Hello Mr. Wang, thank you for your trust. Please describe the problem you are facing in detail so we can assess whether it is within our capabilities."
"Anxious Old Wang" quickly sent a long message: "It's a new villa I just bought! It's located near Qifeng Mountain in the west of the city. The price was much lower than the market price, and I bought it because I was greedy for a bargain. But after moving in, strange things have been happening one after another!"
I keep hearing strange footsteps and a woman crying at night. Our dog refuses to go into a room on the second floor. My wife and kids say they feel a chill and can't sleep well. I'm also constantly restless and have neglected my work... I've consulted several spiritual masters; some said there was nothing wrong, some performed rituals, but nothing helped! I'm at my wit's end!
Haunted house?
Zhang Shaozhong immediately became alert.
He didn't reply at first, but instead told Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier about the situation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Meier perked up: "Oh? A haunted house? I'm an expert on that! Let's go take a look! It'll be a good opportunity to stretch my muscles; I'm practically rusting from staying home all the time!"
Ling Qingxue was more cautious: "Qifeng Mountain... judging from its name, it was once a place where energy gathered. If something strange happens, it is probably not unfounded. We need to go and investigate in person to find out whether it is a problem with the earth's veins or if there is some lingering yin energy."
Seeing that both bigwigs were interested, and that the situation didn't seem particularly dangerous, Zhang Shaozhong replied to "Anxious Old Wang": "Mr. Wang, we have a preliminary understanding of your situation. We can arrange a time to visit you for an on-site assessment. However, please note beforehand that we are not traditional sorcerers; we primarily use the perception of the environmental energy field to find the root cause of the problem and provide adjustment suggestions. The fee will be determined based on the specific circumstances. Is that alright with you?"
"Yes! Absolutely!"
"Anxious Old Wang" replied almost instantly, "As long as it's useful, money is no problem! When is a convenient time for you?"
So, we agreed to meet on Saturday morning.
Early Saturday morning, Zhang Shaozhong drove a rented ordinary SUV, taking Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier to Qifeng Mountain.
On the way, Zhang Shaozhong repeatedly instructed, "Gentlemen, we're going to 'consult,' not to 'exorcise demons'! When we get there, observe and sense more, speak less, and especially avoid using words like 'ghosts' or 'ghostly aura,' lest you frighten the clients! Follow my lead!"
Night Enchantress waved her hand impatiently: "I know, I know, you're just pretending to be a professional... no, I mean, pretending to be a guru! I know what I'm doing!"
Ling Qingxue closed her eyes to rest, only giving a faint "hmm".
Upon arrival, it turned out to be a detached villa in a somewhat remote location, but with a pleasant environment.
A middle-aged man dressed casually, with a haggard face and heavy eye bags, was already waiting at the door. It was none other than "anxious Old Wang"—General Manager Wang.
When Mr. Wang saw the three people getting out of the car, he was visibly taken aback.
Although he had watched the live stream and knew that the hosts were two beautiful women, he was still taken aback by Ling Qingxue's aloofness and Ye Meier's allure when he actually saw them in person.
Especially since there was an ordinary-looking young man accompanying her.
"You...you are the host of 'Tales of Immortals and Demons'?"
President Wang looked at Ling Qingxue with some uncertainty.
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly: "This humble Taoist is Ling Qingxue."
How could she refer to herself like that!
It was specially designed by Zhang Shaozhong to add a sense of "reclusive master".
"This is my partner, Ms. Nightshade."
"I am their assistant, my surname is Zhang."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly stepped forward to introduce them.
"Oh, hello, hello! Please come in!"
Although Mr. Wang was a little apprehensive (this group was too young and unconventional), he decided to give it a shot and warmly invited them in.
As soon as they entered the villa, Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier's expressions changed slightly.
Night Enchantress sniffed softly and said in a voice only the three of them could hear, "Tsk, there's a musty smell... not ordinary musty, but that kind of... old, resentful smell."
Ling Qingxue frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping across the living room: "The energy flow is stagnant, and the yin and yang are out of balance. This place... is ominous."
Zhang Shaozhong understood; it seemed there really was a problem.
He feigned composure and said to President Wang, "President Wang, we need to walk around the entire villa and sense its atmosphere."
"Okay, okay, look around as you like! Look around as you like!"
Mr. Wang readily agreed.
So the three of them began to "survey" the villa.
Ling Qingxue walked very slowly, occasionally closing her eyes to feel the sensations, and her fingers would sometimes gently pinch.
Ye Meier looked around with sharp eyes, especially lingering for a long time at the door of that room on the second floor that even dogs wouldn't go in.
