Chapter 29 Part 1: You’re Insane

Recently, Qing Ning Live had been on the rise.

 

Some major platforms in the industry had watched helplessly as Qing Ning Live leapt to become a mid-to-large streaming platform in just over a month.

The most unbelievable part was that the platform had only one truly popular streamer!

 

Besides her, most of the streamers on the platform were newcomers to the industry.

 

According to statistics from netizens on related platforms, Qianyang, Qing Ning’s streamer with the highest follower count, had less than one million followers—only a mid-tier streamer on a major platform.

Yet her streams often brought in hundreds of thousands in tips, a level of stability that even top streamers on major platforms couldn’t achieve.

 

Therefore, some streamers began privately studying her path to fame and started imitating her.

Suddenly, occult streaming was pushed from a niche circle into the view of a much wider audience.

 

For a time, occult streaming became a hot topic with consistently high traffic.

 

During this period, Qianyang hadn’t been idle either.

Various viewers seeking help frequently appeared in her stream, but thankfully, none of the problems were major, and she resolved them all without much trouble.

 

One day during a stream, Qianyang unexpectedly connected with a fan who was abroad.

“Hello.”

Qianyang greeted the person on the screen.

“Hello, Master…”

A slightly choked voice came through.

Half a face deliberately avoiding the camera appeared on the screen.

 

Qianyang paused for two seconds.

“What’s wrong?”

 

The girl lowered her head.

Her wide-brimmed hat covered her eyes, revealing only a reddened nose and slightly trembling lips.

 

– Huh???

– Her IP shows she’s abroad.

Did something bad happen?

– Sending hugs.

It’s okay.

– Did someone bully you?

– The New Year is coming.

Go home soon.

 

The girl sniffled and said hoarsely, “Master Qianyang, can you, can you help me find something?”

 

Qianyang nodded.

“What are you looking for?”

 

The girl said, “My luggage and passport.”

“Were they lost?”

Qianyang asked casually.

 

The girl’s shoulders trembled.

A tear rolled down to her lips.

Her lips parted, trembling violently, as she choked out, “They, they were stolen.”

 

– ???

– Holy shit?!

– Who?

– That’s so brazen?

– “Zero-dollar shopping” does not disappoint.

 

Qianyang pressed her lips.

“Are you alone?”

“Yes…”

“Did you call the police?”

 

The girl seemed even sadder, lowering her head further.

“Yes… the police said… this isn’t the first time… they often target foreigners… it will be hard to find them, at least not anytime soon.”

 

– Sigh.

– Are you still outside?

Shouldn’t you go back to your place to stay?

– Those people are way too bold.

– Unbelievable.

It’s not like it’s lawless.

– It’s not lawless, but lawless thugs are everywhere.

 

“Where are you now?”

Qianyang asked.

 

The girl said, “I’m near the airport.

All my cash and bank cards were in my bag…

I was supposed to fly home today.

School has already closed for break…”

“Can you contact your parents?

How long does it take to get a new passport?”

 

The girl said, “I can apply for a travel document at the embassy first… but there’s a very important document I absolutely need to find…”

 

The girl looked like she was about to cry.

“Master, can you help me find it?”

 

Qianyang thought for a moment. “I can help you locate your luggage, but I don’t recommend you go looking for it alone.”

 

– Right, it sounds like a robbery gang.

– Freedom of the United States, gunshots every day.

I don’t suggest you go alone.

– The streamer is right.

Even if you find the location, going alone is too dangerous.

– Don’t you have a backup of the document?

If it’s that important, you should have kept a copy.

– Documents are not as important as personal safety.

– A friend of mine studies abroad there and had luggage stolen too.

Miss, you could try looking in nearby trash bins.

Those people only want valuables; they usually throw away other things.

 

The girl said, “I’ve been searching nearby all day.

There’s nothing.”

“Master, please help me find it… that document is extremely important to me.

Maybe they threw my luggage somewhere no one goes.

Keeping the luggage is useless to them anyway.”

 

– Where exactly are you at the airport?

I’ll come with you to search.

I’m flying back tomorrow and staying at a hotel near the airport tonight.

– Miss, miss, look above!

– Let him accompany you!

– It’s getting dark.

Don’t go alone!

– Exactly.

 

The girl didn’t refuse.

She gave her approximate location and waited.

 

Meanwhile, Qianyang asked about the incident to understand the situation.

 

Before long, a short-haired girl found her.

“Little Banana?” the short-haired girl called out hesitantly.

 

The girl was startled.

That was her ID.

 

The short-haired girl kept her hands in her coat pockets and greeted the stream viewers.

“Hello, everyone.

Hello, Master Qianyang.”

 

– Wow.

– A cool and pretty sister.

– I feel relieved.

I was worried if it was a guy.

– You two girls need to be careful too.

 

Qianyang said, “Try to find it before dark.”

“Thank you, Master.

Thank you, sister.”

Little Banana stood up from the ground and thanked them both.

 

Qianyang made a quick calculation and already had an idea.

“Your luggage is within two kilometers of you, near water,” Qianyang said.

“Near water?”

The short-haired girl frowned.

“There don’t seem to be any rivers or streams near the airport.”

 

Perhaps having someone with her helped, Little Banana had calmed down a bit.

She nodded.

“I searched all around today and indeed didn’t see any rivers or streams.”

 

Qianyang said, “Places related to water aren’t necessarily rivers or streams.”

 

The short-haired girl thought for a moment.

“Does a fountain count?

There’s a fountain in the square outside the airport.”

 

Little Banana said, “But I passed by not long ago, and there was nothing at the fountain.”

 

Qianyang said, “Go take another look.

It should be near there.”

 

The two followed Qianyang’s instructions and returned to the square outside the airport.

 

Night had fallen.

Bright lights illuminated the entire square.

 

People hurried across the square, dragging luggage, their figures crisscrossing.

 

The fountain pool bubbled noisily.

The lights shone on the water, making it shimmer and sparkle.

 

Qianyang looked at the fountain pool on the screen and reminded, “Check around the back.”

 

The two went around to the other side of the fountain and suddenly saw a blue suitcase floating on the water.

“Holy shit!

My luggage!”

 

Little Banana hurried over and fished the suitcase out of the water.

There was also a black bag on top of it.

 

– Holy shit?

It’s actually here?

– Wow…

I know the streamer is amazing, but you can find it even in a foreign country?

– Good that it’s found, good that it’s found.

– Streamer is awesome.

– Check what’s inside.

 

The short-haired girl took the phone that was in the call, letting Little Banana check.

“I passed by here just an hour ago, and there was nothing!”

Little Banana said in shock.

 

The suitcase had signs of being pried open.

Water had gotten inside, and most of the contents were wet.

 

She tossed aside the soaked clothes and rummaged out a document that had been pressed in the middle.

The paper was damp, but fortunately the text was still clear and legible, with no damage.

 

If they had been ten minutes later, the document might have been ruined.

 

Little Banana carefully spread out the document and examined it.

After confirming there were no major issues, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Master, thank you.

My document is still readable!”

Little Banana said gratefully.

“You’re welcome,” Qianyang said.

“Sister, thank you for coming with me.

I really don’t know what I would have done if I had been alone.”

 

The short-haired girl smiled.

“You’re welcome.

I had nothing to do anyway, and I didn’t help much.

Check what’s missing.”

 

Little Banana said, “My laptop bag is gone.”

 

She picked up the bag from the ground, checked her documents inside, and sighed with relief.

“My ID papers are all in the bag.

Only the cash is missing.”

“What about other things?”

 

Little Banana said, “The other things aren’t important.

It’s fine if they’re ruined.”

 

– Wait…

– If I’m not mistaken, that bag is a limited edition from a luxury brand?

– Holy shit!

The clothes next to it—I recognize them.

Celebrity same style, seventy to eighty thousand each!

– Damn, damn, damn!

Those boots are from that niche brand, aren’t they?

They don’t usually make shoes.

I heard you need to spend over a million to even buy from them.

– Oh man!

They connected with a little rich girl!

– AHHHHH!

Those robbers really don’t know what’s valuable.

Those things are worth way more than the laptop and cash!

– Wash them and they’re still good!

Wash them and they’re still good!

 

Qianyang hadn’t thought much of it.

But seeing how excited the comments were, and then looking at the clothes soaked and mostly ruined in the water, she felt a bit sour.

“Those things were pretty valuable.

What a shame,” the short-haired girl said.

 

Little Banana looked at her ruined luggage and sighed.

“Actually, it’s not that bad.

I can just buy these things again.

It’s just that I hadn’t worn them many times.

What a shame.”

“But I’m already very satisfied to have my documents and ID back.”

 

– Even if rich people don’t care about material things, I do!!

– What an undeserved disaster!

– Damn robbers!!

– Go to hell!!!

 

Qianyang thought for a moment and said, “I’ll teach you a hand seal.”

 

Little Banana asked curiously, “…A hand seal?

Master, what hand seal?”

“Your anger hasn’t subsided.

You should be able to activate it.

It’s a spell similar to the Object-Locating Art, with additional curse and attack effects.”

 

Qianyang continued, “The person who threw your luggage here probably hasn’t gone far.

Try cursing him.”

 

Little Banana nodded eagerly, her face full of novelty.

“I’ll try, I’ll try.”

“Follow my lead.”

“Okay!”

 

Qianyang pressed her hands together to form a seal, creating a kind of Qiankun clasp.

The gesture wasn’t too complicated.

Little Banana could barely keep up.

 

On the other side of the camera, many people came and went.

From time to time, foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes looked at them with disdain and contempt, as if watching clowns.

 

– I’ve heard that overseas students like to use mystical Eastern power to scare foreigners.

– Foreigners think we not only know kung fu but also practice witchcraft!

– …You’re overthinking it.

No foreigner is afraid of this.

They all see us as clowns.

– Honestly, it is pretty awkward.

– My toes are itching.

I want to build a house…

 

“Done.”

Qianyang lowered her hands.

“Your energy is weak.

Strong curses won’t work.

Try a simple one.”

 

Little Banana thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth.

“May the person who stole my stuff fall flat on their face!”

“Ah!!!

Someone’s being robbed!!”

 

Just then, a scream came from the background.

 

The short-haired girl instinctively moved the camera.

A middle-aged woman of Asian appearance pointed at a blonde man fleeing through the crowd, frantically asking nearby passersby for help.

 

The fleeing foreign man mixed in with the crowd.

After the middle-aged woman reacted, she immediately yelled in English, attracting the attention of airport police on duty.

 

But the foreign robber had already run far.

At the end of the road, a van with its door open was waiting.

The people inside were probably his accomplices.

 

Just then, the fleeing foreign man inexplicably stumbled over something and fell face-first to the ground.

“Ah!”

 

He fell hard.

Blood immediately gushed from his nose.

The police on duty chased after him.

The van parked by the roadside, seeing the police approaching, shut its door without a word and sped off, abandoning their accomplice.

 

The foreign man, his face bruised and swollen, watched the van disappear and cursed, “f*ck!!!”

 

Two police officers rushed over and pinned him to the ground.

The middle-aged woman quickly retrieved her bag and even managed to kick him twice.

“Holy shit!”

Little Banana stared in shock at the foreign man being caught, her voice slightly excited.

“He’s the one who stole my stuff!”

 

– Holy shit?!!

– That worked immediately??

– Screencapped!

I must learn this!

– Wow, tripping on flat ground.

It’s like someone deliberately tripped him.

– Serves the fucker right.

– Awesome!

And the police caught him!

 

Little Banana’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the camera.

“Master Qianyang, I succeeded on the first try.

Does that mean I have talent in the occult?”

 

Qianyang said, “Not exactly.

Aside from occult talent, strong enough belief can also activate this spell.”

“However, cursing others for no reason damages your hidden virtue.

Therefore, after learning this, do not use it unless necessary.”

 

Little Banana nodded.

“I understand, Master!”

“I’ve thought about it.

Some of these things can probably still be used if washed.

I’ll sell them at a low price and donate the proceeds to a children’s welfare home.

That way, I’ll be accumulating virtue for myself.”

 

– Awesome!

– Sell to me!

Sell to me!

I want that bag!

– Little Banana, check your private messages.

– Waiting for the price of the black down jacket.

 

After ending the connection, Qianyang went offline.

 

Yang Wei was studying in her room.

The college entrance exam was in June next year.

People down the mountain seemed to take it very seriously.

Qianyang had told her to focus all her attention on the upcoming exam and not to work part-time on weekends anymore.

“Sister, what do you want for lunch?”

Yang Wei pushed open the bedroom door and came out to get a glass of water from the dispenser.

 

Since they had moved, Qianyang never lifted a finger around the house.

The siblings took care of all the chores, though Yang Mao did most of them.

 

Qianyang scrolled through Dianping on her phone.

In her free time outside streaming, she loved hunting for various delicious foods online.

With no financial pressure, she could eat whatever she wanted.

“Let’s go eat crayfish,” Qianyang said, finding a restaurant that specialized in crayfish and turning the screen to Yang Wei.

“Crayfish?

Okay,” Yang Wei nodded.

 

After lunch and a nap, Qianyang started the second stream of the day.

 

Not long after going live, a gold ID appeared at the top of the screen.

 

– Xiao Jia’s mother?

The top tipper lady.

– Who is Xiao Jia’s mother?

– ???

– There are people in this stream who don’t know who Xiao Jia’s mother is?

– You can go back and watch last week’s stream to understand the whole story.

 

[Xiao Jia’s mother tipped streamer Qianyang one Fruit Company]

[Xiao Jia’s mother has requested a connection]

 

Seeing the request pop up on the screen, Qianyang accepted.
