Ning An's Wild Wish System

Chapter 450: Chapter 244: Human Traffickers Dare to Make a Wish? The Old Man Courting Death!

The next day, Changchun Temple opened as usual.

As for the Divine Invitation Talisman drawn out last night, Ning An hadn’t decided where to use it yet, so it was temporarily set aside.

After washing up and tidying the temple, they opened the temple to welcome visitors.

Within half an hour, quite a few incense burners arrived.

Blue smoke curled up, the incense was flourishing, truly a holy place of worldly cultivation.

Just as more incense burners were arriving at Changchun Temple, outside the temple, a middle-aged couple brought a little girl to the entrance.

The middle-aged man looked to be about fifty, with a face covered in wrinkles deep enough to catch a fly.

The woman looked a bit younger but not by much. Even with makeup, her face was ghostly pale, unable to hide the bitter and mean aura.

Especially when the sunlight hit her, squinting her eyes and grinning, that aura intensified.

The little girl with them had a sweet and fair appearance, very thin, with a mushroom haircut, and a demeanor of a good student.

The girl’s clothes matched the family’s image, somewhat tattered, with a bit of dirt on her face. Ignoring the fear in her eyes when she looked at them, they seemed like a complete family.

With just a glance at them, the girl quickly lowered her head, afraid to provoke them once more and face a beating for no reason.

If any elders were here, seeing this scene, they would instantly understand that the girl had been trafficked by these two people.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman, looking at the entrance of Changchun Temple, wiped the sweat from her forehead while cursing:

"I was told you were an obedient child, but I didn’t expect you to be so rebellious. I found two good families for you, and they both sent you back, didn’t they?"

"You little money-waster! If we can’t find a new family for you after burning incense today, you might as well wait to die!"

Hearing the malicious woman’s words, the little girl’s body stiffened.

The little girl knew this woman was not just trying to scare her, but would truly carry out her threats.

She dared not speak, burying her head even lower.

Since she was trafficked by these two, she had suffered countless inhumane tortures.

If they weren’t watching her so closely, she would have long bashed her head against something.

The middle-aged man next to her spoke slowly: "Don’t worry, the incense here at Changchun Temple is quite effective; surely, it will find her a good family."

As he spoke, his mouth twisted into a wicked grin: "A teenage girl, still a virgin, such a beauty. If not for the police closing in on us, we’d have sold her off a long time ago."

Hearing this, the malicious woman felt slightly better.

Then, she glared viciously at the girl: "Remember, if I have to find a new family for you again, I’ll break your legs!"

Having said that, the couple didn’t care if the girl could keep up and dragged her forcefully towards Changchun Temple.

...

Inside Changchun Temple, Ning An sat leisurely on a recliner, sipping tea.

The viewers in the live stream envied Ning An’s laid-back demeanor.

"So jealous! Living like Brother Sect Leader, with a decent salary and full of spiritual value daily, is truly a workplace blessing."

"Hearing this makes me want to become a Daoist in the mountains, but I’m just a low-tier college graduate, stuck at the education level."

"Come on, it’s not that hard. As long as you’re willing, there are plenty of fake certificates out there. What are you afraid of? The Daoist masters won’t eat you."

"Ugh, I want that life too. My crappy job leaves me no time to do laundry. My boss is a disgusting perv who can’t keep his hands to himself! It’s infuriating!"

"..."

The viewers used Ning An’s stream as a venting place, freely complaining.

Seeing the comments, Ning An smiled and said: "Don’t worry. As long as everyone works hard, they will definitely live the life they want."

Toxic positivity!

Upon hearing this, the viewers collectively rolled their eyes.

They might not have drunk much water growing up, but they had consumed plenty of toxic positivity, wider than the ocean of knowledge.

Now when they heard such words, they felt only nausea.

"Little Daoist, are you home?"

Just as Ning An was about to reply with a smile, a rough middle-aged woman’s voice came in.

Following the voice, Ning An looked up.

At first glance, he saw what seemed to be a family of three at the temple gate.

But, upon closer look, Ning An felt something wasn’t right.

A normal family of three, if not deeply affectionate, should at least be behaving naturally and openly.

But with just a glance, Ning An saw the middle-aged couple gripping the girl’s arm so tightly that the joints were turning white.

And the girl kept her head down, only glancing up occasionally with eyes full of fear and anxiety.

When the middle-aged woman looked at the girl, her eyes were filled with inexplicable disgust and disdain.

No normal family would have so many strange behaviors.

Even in ragged clothes, the girl’s delicate features couldn’t be hidden; she wasn’t the kind of person this couple could have raised.

"There’s a problem here."

Hearing Ning An mutter, the live stream viewers immediately perked up.

"Oh! Has Brother Sect Leader noticed something going on?"

"Are you dumb? Brother Sect Leader wouldn’t have said that if there wasn’t a problem."
