The story began two months ago when Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps, who was working in another city, suddenly received a call from her parents. They told her that her grandmother had passed away.
Hearing this news, she was completely stunned.
Her parents had divorced, and the court had awarded custody to her father. However, her father saw her as a burden and neglected her, spending his days drinking and gambling. It was her grandmother who had raised her single-handedly.
Later, she worked hard in school and earned a scholarship to attend university in another city. After graduating, she stayed there to work.
Because her relationship with her father was strained, she only returned ho once a year during the New Year, and even then, they barely spoke.
As for her grandmother, who had taken care of her, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps held deep affection and respect. Once she was financially stable, she repeatedly suggested bringing her grandmother to live with her.
But the old woman always said, "My dear, Grandma is old. Falling leaves must return to their roots. You're working hard out there alone. Take care of yourself, eat well, and dress warmly."
Unable to force her grandmother, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps could only send money ho every month.
Although this money was often swindled by her gambling-addicted father, she had no choice but to send it. If she didn't, her grandmother, living alone in the countryside, would have no source of inco.
At least by sending money, there was a chance her grandmother could use so of it.
However, recently, after sending money several tis, she hadn't received any calls or ssages from her grandmother. After repeated inquiries, her gambling father finally admitted the truth.
Among other things, after soone dies, the money in their bank account can't be accessed by others. Her father, desperate for money, had no choice but to co clean.
Upon learning the full story, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps was furious and had a heated argunt with her father.
Her selfish father had hidden the news of her grandmother's death for months, just to keep receiving money from her. Because of this, she hadn't been able to see her grandmother one last ti.
Her father knew he was in the wrong but said, "I admit it was wrong to hide this from you, but she was your grandmother after all. You should at least co back and offer so incense."
In the end, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps couldn't bear to let her grandmother down and returned ho, suppressing her anger.
During this visit to offer incense, her gambling father suddenly seed like a changed man. Not only did he apologize for neglecting her in the past, but he also claid to have found a job at a factory.
He promised to send her so pocket money once he earned enough, as a way to make up for not raising her properly.
Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps didn't believe him. How could soone who had gambled for most of his life change overnight?
Most likely, with her grandmother gone, he could no longer squeeze money out of her and was now playing the sympathy card.
Her attitude remained cold throughout.
Hearing this, the live stream chat responded in kind.
【You did the right thing, girl. So people are absent for most of your life, and then they think a simple apology can make up for it? It's not that easy!】
【Call a cynic, but I never believe in sudden kindness. When soone is overly nice for no reason, it's always suspicious!】
【What happened next? What happened after that?】
Clearly, the earlier part was just the setup. The encounter with sothing "unclean" must have happened after she returned to her hotown.
At this point, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps' face turned pale.
Her lips trembled uncontrollably as she continued, "After paying my respects to my grandmother, it was too late to catch a bus, so I stayed the night at ho. That night, after I returned, I started having nightmares."
"In the dreams, there's a man who keeps waving at . I can't hear what he's saying, but I can feel the malice in his gaze."
"At first, I thought it was just stress and that I'd be fine after so rest. But yesterday, that man... he grabbed in the dream."
"He said, 'You can't escape! I'll co for you in a few days!'"
By now, the fear on Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps' face was unmistakable. It was just a dream, but it felt so real—even the pain was tangible.
"Oh, and this is where he grabbed my wrist. Little master, take a look."
As she spoke, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps revealed her wrist. On the fair, jade-like skin, there was a dark purple bruise in the shape of a handprint.
The vivid color was enough to imagine how much force had been used.
But it was just a dream!
It was this bruise that pushed Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps over the edge. She knew she had truly encountered sothing supernatural.
【Holy crap! That grip doesn't look like sothing a normal person could do!】
【I got goosebumps all over. If it were , I'd have died of fright.】
Seeing the lingering yin energy around the handprint, Yao Yao's small brows furrowed. A cold glint flashed in her dark eyes, though it was invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing her reaction, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps grew even more uneasy. She couldn't help but ask, "Little master, I've never seen that man before. I don't know why he's haunting ."
"I'd like to ask for your help in sending him away. If I accidentally offended him, I'm willing to make ands."
Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps had looked up online that if you accidentally provoke sothing unclean, you could ask a master to diate.
Then, by burning so gold ingots or other underworld currency, as long as there wasn't a deep-seated grudge, both parties could usually reach a compromise.
Hearing this, Yao Yao stared straight at her and shook her head. "He won't accept a compromise."
This statent directly confird the existence of sothing supernatural, and the live stream chat exploded with cries of "Help!"
"Why not?"
Now it was Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps' turn to be stunned. Did she really have a deadly grudge with this entity?
But that couldn't be. She was a hobody and never chatted with strange n, let alone provoked a malevolent ghost.
Just as she was racking her brain for answers, a clear, childish voice rang in her ears.
"It's simple. Because he is your husband in na."
"Normal couples are bound together, right? So, he won't accept a compromise and leave."
This revelation made Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps jump to her feet in shock. "How is that possible? I've never even had a boyfriend. How could I have a husband?"
If it weren't for the seriousness in Yao Yao's eyes, Seeking Sound, Dancing Steps would have thought the little master was playing a joke on her.
She might not rember where she had seen that man, but how could she forget whether she was married?
And to a ghost, no less. The explanation was simply too absurd.
It made her start to doubt whether the previous fortune-telling sessions were just scripted performances.
"Yao Yao isn't wrong. Your marriage palace does have a ruling star, and that star is the man you saw in your dream."
"However, it's normal that you don't know you're married because your wedding wasn't conducted in the mortal world. It was a ghost marriage!"
Yao Yao explained calmly.
This explanation instantly silenced the entire live stream.
