"Your fiancée can't all be found."

Inside the livestream.

Fu Yu raised her teacup and took a leisurely sip. Her slender fingers formed a divination seal, and then she casually dropped a bombshell.

In an instant, the livestream's comment section exploded.

[This streamer is obviously just pretending to be some kind of mystic. What does "can't all be found" even mean? She's a scammer!]

[She's pretty, but why is she here spreading nonsense? What era are we living in? And people still believe this?]

[Someone paid you to tell their fortune, and you tell them their girlfriend had an accident? Women really can be vicious.]

Can't all be found? A person can only be missing or found. How can someone "not all be found"?

The only thing that could be "not all found" was a corpse.

That single statement completely enraged the viewers in the livestream. Comments flooded the screen as people cursed at her nonstop.

Everyone was convinced that Fu Yu was nothing more than a fortune-telling scammer out to cheat people of their money.

Fu Yu lazily raised her eyes. She narrowed them at the barrage of comments, a hint of displeasure appearing on her delicate, doll-like face.

Two days ago, she had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and was undergoing her tribulation in the rear mountains of her sect in preparation for breaking through to the Deity Transformation stage.

She never expected the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation she was supposed to face to suddenly transform into the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

It had shattered every life-saving artifact and protective spirit treasure on her body.

When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in this unfamiliar world—and in this unfamiliar body.

The spiritual energy in this world had long since dried up. The only way for her to shatter the void and return to the cultivation world was to accumulate merit.

In the words of this world, her group of lazy, do-nothing disciples and descendants still needed her very much.

Otherwise, why would the dignified sect master of the Xuanqing Sect put up with this kind of treatment?

She had started livestreaming fortune-telling to accumulate merit.

In less than half an hour, the number of viewers in her livestream had surpassed one thousand.

The sudden popularity was largely thanks to the person currently seeking a divination—Li Yue.

One week ago, Li Yue's fiancée had disappeared after leaving him a text message. No matter where he looked, he couldn't find her.

His fiancée was an orphan with no relatives, making it difficult to officially file a missing-person case. Many of his relatives and friends even told him that she had simply run away because she thought his circumstances weren't good enough.

Li Yue refused to believe that.

He had even taken the matter to the internet.

That was why he had brought so many followers with him when he came to have his fortune told.

Of course, most of those followers were there to stop Li Yue from being scammed.

"I can't find her..." Li Yue's panicked voice came through his headset. "How is that possible?"

His voice gradually became choked with emotion.

It was obvious that he had also understood what Fu Yu meant.

His fiancée might have been killed.

But he refused to believe it.

The burly man cried like a child.

"That's impossible..."

Seeing this, the viewers in the livestream couldn't help feeling sympathetic. They urged him to try reporting the case to the police again and not let some superstition cloud his judgment.

[This woman is obviously a scammer. How can you believe anything she says?!]

[The police have to be more reliable than a scammer, right?]

[Exactly! If she's really capable of calculating that something happened to your fiancée, then have her calculate where she is. Once we find her, we'll believe her!]

The viewers in the livestream all urged Li Yue to go to the police and demanded that the police hurry up and arrest the scammer as well.

Fu Yu saw the last comment and set down her teacup.

She took out an exquisitely carved tortoiseshell covered in intricate patterns.

The shell wasn't large, but its edges seemed to faintly glow.

Fu Yu formed a complicated hand seal, making the entire process look incredibly mysterious.

The comments immediately filled with more sarcasm.

Fu Yu paid them no attention.

The tortoiseshell hit the ground.

The answer to the question had arrived.

"She's in the southwest direction, beneath the bridge in the middle section of the canal west of the city."

Fu Yu stared into the livestream camera, her eyes profound and unreadable.

Li Yue, who had been choking back tears, froze completely.

He raised his head in disbelief.

"Master... You... You really calculated it?"

Even his fingers were trembling. He couldn't believe it.

"Go to the police and search for her."

Fu Yu's voice rang out again, detached and otherworldly.

"Keep the livestream running while you search. Let everyone in the livestream see whether my divination is accurate or not."

Building her reputation was the key to accumulating merit.

She wasn't about to work for free.

"Okay!"

Li Yue's face had gone deathly pale.

He didn't dare waste any time. He started a livestream on his phone and headed straight for the police station.

As soon as he arrived and explained why he was there, the young police officer immediately frowned at him in exasperation.

"Sir, what era are we living in? If someone goes missing, you report it to the police. Don't bring up this feudal superstition nonsense. If the police can't find someone, you think a fortune-teller can find them with one divination?"

"Please, I'm begging you. Just go take a look!"

Li Yue's face was pale as he looked at the officer pleadingly.

Seeing how persistent he was, the young officer sighed.

In the end, he could only call for some colleagues to accompany Li Yue to the location Fu Yu had calculated.

The livestream had now surpassed ten thousand viewers.

Sitting behind her computer, Fu Yu leisurely sipped her tea while watching the livestream.

Before long, the police and Li Yue arrived at their destination.

"The bottom of the bridge! This is the place!"

As soon as they arrived, Li Yue rushed beneath the bridge. With a shovel in hand, he began digging furiously.

"Qianqian, where are you? Qianqian..."

He kept digging as he called out her name, tears streaming down his face.

The police officers accompanying him shook their heads. They helped search for a while, but they couldn't find anything.

[Looks like her boast just got exposed. There's nothing here!]

[I'm dying! This is such a train wreck!]

[Streamer, just log off and go to bed.]

The comments section erupted again, with everyone urging Fu Yu to end the livestream.

"What's the rush?"

Fu Yu set down her teacup, a faint, indifferent smile appearing on her doll-like face.

"The good part is still coming."

The good part?

Everyone was puzzled and turned their attention back to Li Yue's livestream.

Li Yue was still digging downward when one of the police officers tried to stop him.

"I told you, this feudal superstition can't—"

"Qianqian!"

A heart-wrenching cry rang out.

The entire livestream fell into stunned silence.

Even the police were shocked.

Amid the freshly turned soil, a section of a woman's remains was wrapped in mud.

It was unmistakably a woman's leg.

The young police officer reacted incredibly quickly and immediately blocked Li Yue's camera.

"This is a criminal investigation scene. Photography is prohibited!"

"Hello? Station? We've discovered human remains along the west-city canal. We need backup!"

The scene descended into chaos.

[Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! I'm fucking traumatized!]

[I'm losing my mind. What did I just see...?]

[It was in full HD, too! Mom, I'm going to have nightmares tonight! QAQ]

Although the remains had only flashed across the screen for an instant, the livestream viewers had still seen them.

Li Yue's livestream camera was switched off. All they could hear were chaotic voices in the background.

"Li Yue, your fiancée's remains were discarded in a place associated with 'earth and water.' Besides the part buried beneath the bridge, there are more remains in the water—and quite a lot of them."

Fu Yu's calm voice came through.

Li Yue, who had nearly lost his mind after seeing the remains, suddenly snapped back to reality.

He now trusted Fu Yu completely.

"We need a boat! A salvage boat! There are pieces of my fiancée's body in the river too!"

He grabbed the police officer's phone while the officer was calling for backup and shouted through his tears.

[What? She was dismembered?]

[There are remains in the water too? That killer is fucking brutal.]

[Reminder to all women living alone: stay safe, stay safe, stay safe!!!]

[I just threw up my leftovers from last night.]

[This streamer really knows what she's doing.]

[It was just a coincidence. If she's really that accurate, then why do we need the police? Can't we just go to fortune-tellers whenever something happens?]

[Exactly! Feudal superstition harms people. Reporting her.]

The comments in Fu Yu's livestream flew across the screen at a frantic pace.

A faint smile played at the corner of her lips.

"If you don't believe me, tune into my livestream at the same time tomorrow. We'll continue."
