A so-called Yin Maiden refers to a woman born under the ominous Jia Wu Yin hour. Her fate is often filled with misfortune, and she tends to make poor judgments in people and matters. Coupled with her flawed temperament—unable to heed advice—her life often spirals into chaos. This is why such individuals are called "Broom-Cursed."

Because they embody misfortune, their bodies can disrupt Taoist rituals. Simply put, their sheer bad luck causes magical techniques to malfunction, breaking seals and patterns as if nullifying them.

Of course, this only works if the Yin Maiden willingly offers herself as a sacrifice. If she is killed against her will, the curse of the Broom Fate will backfire. Even a skilled practitioner would be plagued by misfortune.

The Taoist master who approached the evil spirit must have recognized her fate and orchestrated her sacrifice.

"You can try to recall—before you died, did that person draw these kinds of talismans on your body?"

Yao Yao picked up a pen and paper and began sketching carefully. After a few breaths, she lifted her chubby little hand, revealing what she had drawn.

It was a pattern resembling a deconstructed vertical pupil!

Upon seeing it, the evil spirit froze entirely. She hadn't been mistaken—the Taoist master had indeed drawn this same symbol on her.

At the time, she had found it strange and asked about it. The explanation given was, "You are a wandering soul. Without these talismans to protect your spirit, how could you possibly seize another's body?"

Thus, she had always assumed these markings were conduits providing her strength.

[How pitiful yet despicable—a person who covets others' identities and bodies, only to become prey herself.]

[Upstairs commenter, this isn't pity; it's karma catching up to her own mistakes.]

Her constitution meant the Taoist master couldn't kill her outright. Had her moral compass not been so skewed, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

In truth, it was her greed and foolishness that sealed her fate!

"It seems you remember. But it doesn't matter now—you've reached your time."

Yao Yao's bright, round eyes stared at the spirit, her voice crisp and clear. To the ghost, however, those words were nothing short of a death sentence.

"You... you can't kill me! No, killing me violates the laws of the Taoist arts—you cannot do this!"

Despite being a ghost, she knew much about Taoist practices. And unsurprisingly, this too was likely instilled by the Taoist master to ensure her compliance during the ritual.

After all, before completely eradicating the original soul, she hadn't harmed anyone, so the Taoist master couldn't kill her directly. Killing the original soul would make her the true owner of the body, and harming an ordinary person carried heavier karmic consequences.

Both "You Yuan Ren" and his brother-in-law were utterly astounded by the audacity of the ghost's words. Her shamelessness seemed thicker than city walls.

"Master, I can't let you bear the sin. If it's inconvenient for you to act, please tell me what to do—I'll take responsibility."

"You're talking nonsense. If anyone should bear it, it's me. I'm Xiaorou's husband!"

The brother-in-law quickly chimed in, fearing that if he hesitated, the master might instruct "You Yuan Ren." Given the latter's current emotional state, he might do something reckless.

"I already told you—it's not me killing you. Your time has simply come."

Yao Yao ignored the two men arguing fervently and instead calmly observed the evil spirit.

When she had intervened earlier, she detected the hidden mechanism left behind by the Taoist master within the ghost's body. The connection between the soul and its former body weakens over time after death. Since this ghost had only been dead for two months, a high-level Taoist master could easily trace her physical remains using her soul.

This meant the Taoist master faced potential exposure. Given his grand ambitions to exploit a Yin Maiden's fate to break through barriers, it was unlikely he'd leave such an amateur oversight.

The failsafe placed inside the ghost triggered when any Taoist technique injured her soul. Once activated, the forbidden curse buried within her would instantly annihilate her spirit.

The evil spirit, initially confused, suddenly felt as though she were being consumed by raging flames. She looked at Yao Yao in terror, trying to speak but unable to produce a single sound.

In the blink of an eye, she disintegrated into ashes. At the same moment, the eerie expression on Xiaorou's face returned to normal.

"You Yuan Ren" was utterly stunned. He stammered, "Master, w-what just happened?!"

Hadn't the ghost claimed the master couldn't harm her?

Yao Yao shook her head. "Big Brother, I didn't do anything. It was the Taoist master who killed her."

That ghost had been bold indeed, trusting a stranger enough to gamble her life for a mere possibility. Such recklessness was doomed from the start. As the old Taoist once said, there's no free lunch in this world—every gain requires sacrifice.

"Is my sister alright now?" "You Yuan Ren" rushed over, holding his phone while his brother-in-law cradled Xiaorou. An ambulance had already been called since the fall had been severe, and a hospital check-up would ensure safety.

Hearing this, Yao Yao nodded and chirped in her baby-like voice, "She's fine now. However, her body was possessed for some time, so it accumulated significant negative energy. Big Brother can take her to a temple to request blessings or prayer beads to wear. Regular sun exposure will help cleanse the remaining yin qi."

Relieved, "You Yuan Ren" let out a deep sigh followed by profuse thanks.

Though his account lacked funds, his brother-in-law transferred 100,000 yuan, which "You Yuan Ren" promptly converted into virtual gifts for the stream.

Only after Yao Yao intervened did the donations stop, but even then, her tiny eyebrows remained furrowed long after ending the livestream.

Turning to her silent older brother, she murmured, "Seventh Brother, I said I didn't want payment. Why did they still send money?"

This was troubling. She had already earned merit points; accepting money on top of that would count as double charging. What if Heaven noticed and stopped rewarding her merits?

Gu Yu fell silent. He understood the psychology behind their actions—they believed spending money brought peace of mind, especially since his little sister had helped them immensely. Additionally, they hoped to leave a good impression for future interactions.

But how could he explain this to a three-and-a-half-year-old? Miscommunication might lead to misunderstandings.

However, he quickly came up with a solution—if explanations failed, avoid them altogether.

Since Yao Yao's concern was about the money, Gu Yu confidently suggested, "If you don't want the money, you can donate it to an orphanage to help feed hungry children."

This suggestion immediately lit up Yao Yao's face.

Right! By donating the earnings, she wouldn't be guilty of double-charging, and Heaven couldn't deduct her merit points. Moreover, helping others was itself a virtuous deed. Thrilled at the idea, Yao Yao planted a kiss on her brother's cheek.

"Seventh Brother, you're so smart!"

"Then please help me donate all this money. Thank you, Seventh Brother!"

Embarrassed by his sister's affection, Gu Yu's ears turned red, spreading to his neck. Realizing he was still live-streaming, he quickly suppressed his reaction with a tactical cough.

"Don't worry, I'll handle everything."

"Now, let's move on to the next lottery draw."

The best way to redirect the audience's attention was, of course, to find the next "fortunate victim"... ahem, person of destiny.

Yao Yao nodded enthusiastically, motivated by the prospect of earning double merits.
