Then the village chief's wife arrived. She told the villagers firmly that human sacrifice was wrong, and using living people for ghost marriages was even more outrageous and completely wrong.
How can one person withstand so much malicious talk?
The villagers quickly refuted this claim.
"These are rules passed down from our ancestors. How can we break these rules? You're an outsider, so don't meddle in our business. If you keep causing trouble, don't blame us for being impolite."
The outcry grew louder and louder, and a sharp laugh came from a corner.
The voice said in a brazen and lewd tone, "Hey, sister-in-law, you'd better go back now. We'll get busy later and won't care who you are."
Laughter erupted, sounding extremely grating.
Xu Yi admired these extras; their acting was indeed quite good, making her so angry she wanted to hit them.
It's unclear what Yin Yu wanted to express through this place.
"You will face retribution!"
All the actions of everyone came to an end with that angry roar.
Yin Yu entered from outside the temple.
"Alright, alright, it's time to go home. Thank you everyone for your hard work."
Yin Yu smiled and served hot drinks to everyone.
Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi hid in the hidden compartment, unsure whether they should go out at this point.
The place was so small that even with their bodies pressed together, it felt cramped. They could clearly feel each other's warmth and breath, and even the heat in each other's breath seemed to rise a few degrees.
"Alright. You two, hurry up and come out too." Yin Yu came to the statue, lifted the painting, and said, "Time to go home."
For them, it was just a job that had been suspended.
As for the viewers who are waiting in the live stream room, they will be anxiously waiting until the next live stream starts.
Yin Yu helped Gu Yueyue up and watched the two of them hiding there. She smiled and teased, "You're quite good at finding places to hide."
The words had a double meaning, and only Gu Yueyue and Yin Yu knew exactly what kind of evasion technique it referred to.
Gu Yueyue's cheeks were flushed, probably from being cooped up in the enclosed space for too long.
She raised her hand to fan the air in front of her face, exhaled a long breath, and remained unmoved by Yin Yu's teasing.
Xu Yi also came out and came to Gu Yueyue's side, taking Yin Yu's place to support Gu Yueyue.
A different sensation approached her body. Gu Yueyue glanced at it lightly, and the half of her body that Xu Yi was supporting stiffened considerably.
Yin Yu noticed her discomfort, smiled and gave Gu Yueyue a push, then turned to Xu Yi and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, your teacher Gu twisted her ankle, please help her."
"Um!"
By the time Gu Yueyue realized what was happening, she was already in the child's arms.
Professor Qi, who had already removed her makeup, happened to arrive at this moment. She and Gu Yueyue had known each other before, and she thought highly of this junior. Hearing that she had twisted her ankle, she thought she would come and see her.
Upon closer inspection, I found the two of them embracing, the stickiness in the air like freshly baked pure white cotton candy.
"Wow, you two have such a good relationship."
Professor Qi's voice suddenly came, and Gu Yueyue abruptly pulled away from Xu Yi's embrace.
Ignoring Xu Yi's fleeting disappointment, she blushed and bowed to her senior, "Professor Qi, I never expected to meet you on this program."
"I didn't expect this either. It's all because of your PD Yin. He's been coming downstairs to my house for half a month straight, crying and begging. I've been complained about several times for disturbing the peace."
Gu Yueyue smiled faintly, knowing full well that the truth was not so. If Professor Qi had no intention of getting involved, no matter how much Yin Yu pestered him, it would be in vain.
Sure enough, Professor Qi continued slowly, "But this time it can also be considered a good deed. Yin Yu wants to set up a foundation to help girls who are stuck in difficult situations. This is a good thing, and I will help as much as I can."
Yin Yu and the production team were setting up the set, since the live broadcast was still going to end tomorrow.
Taking a break from her busy schedule, Yin Yu glanced over and saw them chatting. She then had a few small stools sent over.
A few people can then sit down and chat.
Han Muzhou and Chen Sha also came over and found a place to sit down.
Zhao Yuan approached Xu Yi with a strange expression and silently sat down. He didn't know why, but he always wanted to get closer to Xu Yi. This thought was not actually his own, but he always did it uncontrollably.
Gu Yueyue lowered her dark eyes without saying a word, and unconsciously squeezed Xu Yi's hand.
"Teacher Gu, are you cold?" Xu Yi squeezed her hand. "It's so cold, let me warm you up."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands together, and spiritual energy attached to his palms before handing it over.
Even though she was only offering a little warmth, Gu Yueyue felt as if she were being burned and wanted to withdraw her hand.
It wasn't appropriate for them to be so intimate in front of everyone, Gu Yueyue knew perfectly well, but her actions didn't match her thoughts. Even when Xu Yi warmed her hands, Gu Yueyue inadvertently gave Zhao Yuan a faint smile.
Her smile was gentle.
Zhao Yuan, the newly crowned Best Actor who is adept at reading subtle facial expressions, interpreted the smile as a sign of provocation.
"Could he be seeing things?" Zhao Yuan gave a wry smile. He was probably so stressed by Gu Yueyue's evasive attitude that he was starting to hallucinate.
Yin Yu's side was almost finished tidying up, and a barbecue grill was set up outside the temple.
"Roasted whole lamb." Yin Yu walked over, smacking her lips with envy. "I love this. It's so lively and comfortable to eat with a group of people."
The setup is still underway outside, and going out now would be cold and inconvenient, so it's better for everyone to stay here, have some hot water, and chat.
Yin Yu: "I called Yuan Beidu and the others. Seriously, I thought some people might not be able to get to the main quest, but I didn't expect that three of them wouldn't even get a glimpse of it and would end up in the hospital."
Yin Yu's words made everyone laugh.
After laughing, Gu Yueyue was still very curious about the assistance foundation that Professor Qi had mentioned.
She asked a question, and Yin Yu put away her smile and began to talk about it seriously.
In fact, she has been to many places over the years, from bustling cities to primeval forests to remote tribal villages hidden in the mountains and rivers. She has been to many places and met many people.
"The weak, women. I have been to many places, sick, old, children, poor, these are all the weak. And among these weak, there is a further subdivision of the vulnerable, women."
"Some people aren't incapable, but they simply don't get the chance to prove they can. I wanted to establish such a foundation to help them. I had thought about how to promote and publicize this foundation before, and finally decided on this variety show."
Gu Yueyue seemed to be thinking, but still couldn't figure it out. "A dating reality show?"
“Yes. Love, proof of free love. It is also a kind of liberation for women.” Yin Yu smiled again, “There is another very important reason, this variety show is the most popular and innovative program I have ever created.”
Zhao Yuan knew all this, which was another reason he came to participate—to do something meaningful.
Gu Yueyue and Xu Yi were unaware that Yin Yu hadn't planned to tell Gu Yueyue beforehand. Otherwise, given Gu Yueyue's kind and honest nature, she certainly wouldn't treat the show as an ordinary variety show; she would be more concerned about it, which would be exhausting both physically and mentally.
"Choosing this story is actually a bit heavy."
Yin Yu recounted what had happened six months ago.
"That journalist exposed the local human sacrifice and the seven female corpses. He was already in a very bad mental state, but he revealed this dark secret in a fit of anger. As a result, it didn't attract much attention."
"Everything we're portraying today is real, including the village chief who went to the city; in reality, he'll never come back."
"I hope this matter will be taken seriously. What's even more hateful and infuriating is that the internal organs of the seven female corpses were not intact, and some were missing. I'm sure everyone has a guess as to where they ended up."
The words Yin Yu spoke sent chills down everyone's spines.
"How tragic that we are priced from the moment we are born. From birth to death, we can be exploited."
Yin Yu's eyes reddened, then she smiled and said, "It's alright. I just like meddling in other people's business. I just like spending money to amuse myself. This is troublesome, thankless, and accompanied by so many unknown dangers. But I just like excitement."
Gu Yueyue opened her mouth.
Yin Yu stopped her in time, "Hey, this idea is mine. If we're going to do it, I'll do it. I'll accept your money, but I won't accept you joining in and sharing my credit."
It's very dangerous. Yin Yu is a public figure, and the impact of her speaking out on this matter is unimaginable. Moreover, it's unknown how many people's interests will be affected by the interests she's trying to seize.
"Alright, alright, things are different now. My main goal is to gain both fame and fortune, not to do charity entirely. Don't treat me like a saint, it makes me feel embarrassed."
Yin Yu opened the milk tea in his hand and drank it down in one gulp, as boldly as if he had drunk a whole jar of wine.
The lamb was ready to eat outside, but because we were having such a deep conversation, no one went out to join in the fun of roasting lamb. Instead, we waited for the production crew to prepare it and bring it over.
When we eat together, the atmosphere is noticeably different.
The laughter and commotion disappeared, replaced by silence and repression.
Gu Yueyue wanted to say something more to Yin Yu, but Yin Yu interrupted her, saying, "Let's raise a glass together. It's not easy for us to get together, so I'll take the lead and wish our variety show great success."
On the way back, Gu Yueyue remained silent.
Xu Yi turned to look at the temple hidden in the night in the distance, where an evil aura still lingered.
"Teacher Gu, don't be too sad. This kind of thing won't always happen. No matter when, there will always be people like PD Yin who will stand up. Suffering is endless, but the warriors who overcome suffering will never disappear."
Gu Yueyue forced a smile, feeling very upset. "I thought this was just a game script arranged by the production team."
"Life is like a game most of the time. We are randomly teamed up together, and all we can do is help our teammates to the best of our ability. Not everyone is like PD Yin, who can become a cross-server god. By giving more help to those around us, we can also warm the world."
Xu Yi secretly hoped that Miss Gu's kindness would include herself as well.
That battle ten thousand years ago, once was enough.
A note from the author:
Xu Yi is traumatized, fearing that Miss Gu will die again to save the world.
Chapter 85
With Yin Yu's explanation of the program, the already extraordinary dating reality show became even more profound.
The next day, everyone worked together to complete the story.
The next evening, when everyone was gathered together chatting enthusiastically, Yuan Beidu, Xia Lan, and the others arrived, looking at them with puzzled expressions. They couldn't understand why, even though they were all on the same variety show, they couldn't join in the conversation at all.
Late at night, Yin Yu, who had been working non-stop, finally had a chance to rest when a powerful yet familiar ethereal voice rang in her ears.
"Master Xu? Is that you?"
'Yes, I am Xu Liang.'
"Master Xu, is there something you need?" Yin Yu was so frightened that she covered herself with the blanket. It was the middle of the night and she couldn't see anyone, but she could hear another person's voice in her mind. How terrifying was that?
Xu Liang couldn't comprehend her fear at all and said directly, "It's not a big deal. I left in a hurry and didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Now that I think about it, the Demon Lord's fragmented soul could remain for so long, so there must be a place where it's hiding. Although I've already cleared away that evil thing, there must still be residual energy in the place where it's hiding."
