Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Fei Nyah leaned against the door in horror.

Her parents weren't at home, making her the only one here.

Before reclaiming her luck, her parents struggled to make ends meet. Of course, it was no one's fault but themselves.

Her father was a gambler, gambling almost every dime in his pockets. And her mother was a wealth-chaser. Her mother did things just for face, buying things they didn't need to fit in with others.

And because of this, they were always back to square one after all the dust had settled.

But, ever since she got her luck, her father always won his gambling matches. And, in his job sites, her father had saved the Manager from choking, leading to his promotion. Her mother, a full housewife, suddenly found a genuine diamond necklace in the bushes, adding to their source of income.

But that wasn't all. She too had coincidentally met a rich boyfriend by luck. They happened to be passing along the same place at the same time, and she took advantage of that, unleashing her full feminine wiles on him.

She felt as though she had just taken some protagonist's luck on her head because even her skin had begun to shine brighter than usual. When people looked at her, they felt warmth, and even her white lotus act seemed cute.

It was as though there was a filter in front of everyone's eyes. And these days, she has indeed been living the good life.

Of course, no matter how much luck she got, her I.Q hadn't improved. But so what? With her luck, she was sure to make many pamper her till she grew old.

.

Things were indeed going the way she had been promised. However, who could tell her what was going on now? What did that thing mean by saying something went wrong?

Fei Nyah's face turned visibly pale, listening to the eerie voice in her mind.

"What do you mean? What is going on? Didn't you say that you'll be able to draw out Chiyou's luck without any issues? So how come there a problem now?"

Chiyou was livid with worry.

She already had this much goodness with the incomplete luck from Chiyou. Then imagine how great she would be after squeezing everything off that thief?

Fei Nyah's expression turned cold.

All this luck was supposed to be hers, not Chiyou's. So when remembering how Chiyou used to live her life with her stolen luck, Fei Nyah couldn't wait for Chiyou to die!

Hmph! Deserve it!

Fei Nyah was still under the impression that the luck was hers. But she didn't know that Chiyou's actions in her past lives, and even the present one, were the reasons for her great luck.

The goodness that Chiyou accumulated was nothing to joke about. And even her family had always lived honest and straightforward lives.

In some past lives, she was indeed a daughter of a wealthy family. But in this life, she was just a simple girl.

For Chiyou, no matter which life it was, she was always morally upright.

And for this, the heavens rewarded her immensely.

Fei Nyah's expression turned distorted when thinking of Chiyou still holding onto her luck.

.

"No way! No way! You must complete the ritual. You promised to kill her for me. So you better not lie to me!" She said, viciously staring at the necklace around her neck.

Soon, she heard a burst of laughter in her ears.

[Heheheheheheh~... Settle down, mortal. While I do like your spirit, I have to warn you that I hate being threatened!]

Immediately, Fei Nyah felt a dense pressure engulf her, leaving her entire body filled with goosebumps. Her body turned soft and wobbly.

It was only now that she seemed to recall her position. Her anger had blinded her to yell at this monster. So what if it got angry and decided to kill get off? In that case, forget about luck. She wouldn't even be here to enjoy it!

Feeling the delicious wave of fear she emitted, the thing had to restrain itself from killing its long-term prey.

That's right.

It would still eat her, but not until it watched her commit so many atrocities, leading her down a dangerous path.

Back in the underworld, they say there's nothing more delicious than feeding and fattening your order before engulfing it whole.

And you know, the longer the prey stays with it, the more fearful the prey will be. And when it's time to pay up, there's no going back. The meal was definitely going to be a satisfying one.

Hehhehehe... Too bad its prey might not even know that she was the main dish until the very end. By then, her despair and fright would reach a bountiful level that was too mouthwatering to think of.

The thing secretly licked its lips and closed its eyes as though in ecstasy, looking forward to that glorious day.

For now, it had to handle this slight hitch in its plan.

.

Oh?

How odd...

There were quite a handful of reasons why there was a hitch now... But he didn't think any of them were serious.

Of course, the most prominent reason why things stopped as they were might've been because Chiyou was dead... Or, the last bit of luck to be extracted might be a tricky one that sent the creatures to dormancy.

Maybe this was the reason it lost connection with them?

In short, there were so many reasons, like other underworld beings preying on Chiyou?

It knew that for it to find the truth, there was no other way out of this.

[There's no need to fret. First, contact your friend. We need to find out if she's alive or not.]

What?!

Fei Nyah was taken aback.

Right, right. They just had to find out how the thief was doing, and everything should be alright.

~Bruuu~

The tension in the air was high, the louder the call echoed out.

And soon enough, a sickly voice answered from the other side.

[Hello~ Fei Nyah, is this you?]
