[‘Spring is here, the season of renewal,’ the snakes must be in heat.]

[Why does a snake in heat cling to the pre-destined person? Oh, sorry, I got the wrong idea.]

[You mean non-human love? Well, then I’m wide awake! They say snakes have two forms…]

[??? I think you bunch of old perverts want the streamer to get banned.]

[I once heard a saying that snakes and other small animals can hear sound waves that humans can’t. During an earthquake, they become very agitated, which might indicate an impending earthquake. The pre-destined person should quickly pack their belongings and evacuate.]

The guesses in the comments were varied and dazzling.

The pre-destined person read the comments and blushed.

She was quite young and familiar with these terms, so she couldn’t help but retort, “My snake is female and doesn’t have that function. Don’t get the wrong idea, okay? We just have a pure mother-daughter relationship.

“I also wondered if it was my snake’s heat cycle, but after calculating, I realized that’s still a long time away.

“Besides, we’re not in an earthquake zone, and we haven’t heard of any earthquakes. Host, is it possible that an earthquake will happen here?”

Facing the questioning gaze of the person with whom she had a pre-destined connection, An Rugu did some calculations with her fingers and said, “Don’t worry, there won’t be an earthquake for the meantime, so you don’t need to pack anything.”

The person she was pre-destined to meet breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and comforted herself, “That’s good. Then why has it been so restless lately?”

An Ruguo’s gaze fell on the faint, lingering ghostly aura surrounding her. After a moment’s she thought, she asked, “Have you encountered anything strange lately?”

The pre-destined person was stunned for a moment, then shook her head vigorously, “No, I just live a normal life between home and the company, nothing strange has happened.”

She was rather thick-skinned, has a carefree personality, and didn’t pay much attention to the little things in life.

An Rugu looked past her form into her room. The room was filled with an extremely dense ghostly aura; the wisps of yin energy were almost tangible, so black they seemed to drip ink.

“Really nothing? Like hearing any strange noises in the middle of the night, or losing something.”

“…Let me think about it.”

The pre-destined person, resting her chin on her hand, pondered for a long time before speaking with a tone full of uncertainty.

“There’s a weighing scale near the window in my room. I weigh myself every night before bed. It’s an electronic scale; the dial only lights up when you step on it.

“A few days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night needing to pee. I got up groggily to go to the toilet and suddenly saw the dial of the scale light up. I don’t remember the number, but it was much lighter than me.”

Viewers in the live stream: “???”

[Could it be a ghost on the scale? So scary, waaaaaaah!]

[The ghost was already beside the pre-destined person; it seems the pre-destined person is in grave danger.]

[Listening to ghost stories first thing in the morning is so refreshing! Mom no longer has to worry about me being groggy after waking up.]

The viewers in the livestream were terrified and flooded the chat with ‘Antarctic Immortal Emperor,’ praying for the evil spirits to be banished.

As An Rugu previously mentioned in her livestream, when encountering sleep paralysis or other unusual situations, silently or loudly calling out to ‘Venerable Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation’ could turn misfortune into good fortune and prevent evil spirits from getting close.

The pre-destined person waved her hand dismissively, saying, “You’re overthinking it. Electronic scales are just consumables. I’ve had at least seven or eight broken scales. If it suddenly lights up at night, it means there’s a malfunction inside, not necessarily a ghost.

“And it’s possible I misremembered. My memory isn’t great, and I was groggy when I woke up that night, so maybe the scale didn’t even light up.”

To avoid adding to their fear, the pre-destined person began to prove that they had a bad memory, and she said, “When I’ve been putting on makeup these past few days, I’ve noticed that I seem to have less foundation, powder, sunscreen, etc. than before.

“But I really can’t recall having used so much.”

[My memory is terrible, especially after having a baby. I spent ages looking for the remote in the summer, only to find it was in my hand. I’m so ashamed of myself.]

[I wear makeup to work all the time, and I use it up really fast. I have to buy new makeup every now and then, and it hurts my wallet so much!]

Upon hearing this, An Rugu said directly, “But there really is a ghost near you.”

The pre-destined person: “???”

Viewers in the live stream: “???”

The pre-destined person was shocked and felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively looked around and asked, “Really?”

“That’s right,” An Rugu nodded slightly. “There’s a strong ghostly aura in your house. She’s in your bedroom right now. You can go and see for yourself if you don’t believe me.”

The pre-destined person gasped, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and said in a low voice, “I can’t beat a ghost, going to her would be like offering myself up as food.”

An Rugu took a sip of warm tea and shook her head, “If she wanted to harm you, she would have done it long ago.”

She pulled out a talisman to summon a spirit. “If things don’t look right, I’ll summon her away immediately.”

The pre-destined person was quite bold and trusted An Rugu very much. After hearing her affirmative answer, she felt reassured and much more at ease.

She swallowed hard, a feeling of excitement welling up inside her. 

Goodness, she has never seen a ghost before!

She didn’t know if it’s a male or female ghost, or what it looked like.
