Yaoyao didn't hide anything, bluntly revealing the situation, which was also why the more the other person ate, the thinner she became. The vital essence from the food she consumed didn't actually enter the destined one's stomach; instead,
it was sacrificed to the starved ghost. Such ghosts, having died from hunger, retain an unresolved obsession after death, opening up an internal "universe" within themselves. While it couldn't be described as devouring heaven and earth, their appetite was at least as vast as a bucket.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't compare. The destined one essentially served as a vessel for consumption; as long as the starved ghost could eat, she could continue to eat endlessly. However, the food she ate provided no nourishment, leading to nutritional imbalance, which was why her body was deteriorating.
"This... this... Which damned unscrupulous merchant is this, ahhhhhh!"
Upon hearing the truth, the destined one's emaciated face immediately filled with anger and fear. After all, she had consumed human ashes. Although the ingredients weren't terrifying, it was utterly disgusting. The destined one couldn't help but feel a physiological urge to vomit, but her stomach had long been empty, so she could only spit out some bitter fluid.
[Oh my goodness! Are the raw materials for weight loss businesses this advanced? My scalp is tingling.]
[Merchant: "Just tell me, did you lose weight or not?!"]
Although this sounded incredibly horrifying, for some reason, netizens always found a strange, humorous element to it. However, laughter aside, when it came came to asking the Master for help, they were still very enthusiastic.
Yaoyao saw these comments and gently shook her head. "Big sister, I cannot immediately remove that starved ghost for you right now, because your body would collapse."
This statement was not something she made up to deceive. The fact that the destined one was still alive after one or two months of nutrient loss was also thanks to that starved ghost.
It was using its ghostly energy to sustain the destined one's body. And this was quite normal; after all, if the vessel kept dying from hunger, it would require frequent replacement, which was a troublesome matter for the starved ghost.
However, sustaining life with ghostly energy was ultimately a case of drinking poison to quench thirst. Human energy and ghostly energy became mixed and indistinguishable. It might not be apparent now,
but in the long run, the host would sooner or later become a monster, neither human nor ghost. And if Yaoyao were to remove the ghostly energy now, it would be equivalent to cutting off the destined one's life force, which was why she dared not act.
"Master, can I still be saved? Boo-hoo-hoo!"
The destined one was now filled with immense regret. If she had known it would be this miserable, she would have died before taking those weight loss pills. But what was done was done, and her regret was useless. She could only place her hope in the Master before her.
Fortunately, the Master then nodded.
"Of course there's hope! Little sister, privately message me your address. I'll have the production team rush two talismans to you. Wearing them will prevent the starved ghost from approaching and detecting you."
"And within these two weeks, little sister, you must focus on nourishing yourself through diet and restoring your vitality. After that, you can come to Fire Cloud Temple, and I will then resolve the remaining issues for you."
Yaoyao tilted her head, speaking earnestly.
This little sister's physical problem wasn't severe; it was simply that the nutrients she consumed were being intercepted by the malevolent spirit, making her too weak. As long as she regained her vitality,
Yaoyao would then be able to deal with the means of that hungry ghost. Upon hearing this, the destined one's eyes immediately filled with gratitude. She repeatedly expressed her thanks, then quickly sent her address through the backend.
Yaoyao scanned it and memorized it, then turned and called the assistant who had helped her earlier.
"Thank you, Big Brother!" Yaoyao took out a few talismans from her bag and asked him to deliver them to the destined one's address.
"Alright, I'll send it as an urgent delivery. This address isn't far from the airport, so it can be delivered this afternoon."
The assistant had clearly encountered airport deliveries more than once; he was very familiar with the process and could even estimate the approximate time after seeing the address. His explanation undoubtedly put the destined one at ease, as she knew she could certainly last for a few more days in her current condition.
"Here, Yaoyao wants to remind all big brothers and sisters, taking medicine for weight loss is not a good method."
This time, the destined one encountered a starved ghost with shallow cultivation. If her luck had been worse, she could have easily lost her life. Therefore, to warn her friends in the live stream, Yaoyao spoke very seriously.
[Received, received! Immediately report those who sell weight loss drugs on WeChat Moments!]
[Life is short, why must you pursue thinness? Isn't living happily much better?]
The netizens were indeed frightened by the destined one's drastic weight loss. At this moment, they seemed to have had a sudden enlightenment, filling the screen with comments expressing their realization.
As for whether these were genuine or not, that wasn't important. After all, even a deity couldn't entirely succeed in preaching. What she could do was make them wary and not easily fall for the false advertisements of new weight loss drugs.
"Alright, the first destined one's problem has been resolved. Now let's welcome the second destined one."
Yaoyao was quite pleased with her efficiency. Her chubby little hands rhythmically tapped the tabletop, the crisp sounds making the production team react and quickly switch to the second destined one.
At the same time, they were secretly astonished by the efficiency here. The other guests, after all, hadn't even fully understood the situation yet, and this team had already finished. The Gu siblings were indeed the strongest in this group.
Yaoyao, of course, was unaware of the production team's thoughts at this moment. She softly greeted the second destined one.
"Hello, beautiful auntie! Good afternoon!"
The second destined one was a woman in her forties. At this age, it wouldn't be appropriate for Yaoyao to call her "sister." The latter's taste in clothing wasn't particularly outstanding, but the high-end emerald necklace, earrings, and ring she wore undoubtedly showed her family's wealth.
As for her appearance? It wasn't bad at all. This auntie had the typical bone structure of a Jiangnan woman: slender, curved willow eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that, far from making her look old, added a touch of charm.
The netizens were dazzled by the gems and were already blowing flowery compliments in the comment section.
[Damn kidnappers, this clearly is my biological older sister! Who abducted me?! Sister, hurry and pick me up to go home, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo!]
[Ahhh, the one upstairs is talking nonsense, wealthy sister don't believe her, she's fake, I'm the real one.]
[Our parents accidentally lost me back then, they didn't tell you because they were afraid you'd be sad. I really am your younger sister!]
Seeing the topic of the comments devolve into a family reunion, the destined one didn't get angry. On the contrary, she smiled and said, "Although I'm an only child, everyone is so enthusiastic, and I'm quite happy. After the reading, I'll send everyone red envelopes."
Her generous demeanor excited the netizens, who one after another shouted "Generous!"
Afterward, they tactfully refrained from further teasing and quieted down to let the destined one get down to business.
Yaoyao, seeing this, her beautiful big eyes lit up. She somewhat admired this auntie; one sentence could calm everyone down.
Following the procedure, Yaoyao patiently asked, "Is there anything you would like to have calculated?"
At this, the destined one's expression became somewhat unpleasant, and then her voice rang out.
"Master, I want to ask you to help me calculate if... something has latched onto me."
Upon hearing this, Yaoyao was a little stunned, not because the destined one's problem was particularly rare, but because the latter's current state didn't look at all like someone who was in trouble.
