Ning An's Wild Wish System

”That’s right, hurry up, everyone is still waiting, don’t waste anyone’s time.”

”If it’s a yes then it’s a yes, if not then not. What do you mean by waiting a bit?”

”Hmm? This sentence sounds off, can it be used here?”

”Something like that, the mood is right, don’t mind what I’m saying now.”

”...”

Sister Awakening’s eyes were hollow, she pressed her lips tightly, her face as pale as snow.

Yes, she liked money, but she couldn’t afford to lose herself for it!

”So, have you thought it over?”

On the phone, the man’s calm voice came again, seemingly oblivious or uncaring of the excitement on site.

”I...”

Sister Awakening’s lips trembled, tears streamed down her cheeks in large drops.

What could she say, what could she possibly say!

She was nearly roaring, or perhaps venting, her voice hoarse: ”You’re my stepfather, we can’t be!”

After uttering this sentence, she felt drained, her body was soaked, and she collapsed to the ground.

As for the man on the other end of the phone, he likely had guessed her reply already and merely chuckled softly, saying:

”No worries, you don’t have to rush giving your answer now. But by tonight, tonight I hope to hear a different response.”

Beep beep beep!

After saying this, the call ended, leaving Sister Awakening lost in chaos.

The crowd, unable to witness the juicy drama, only felt a bit lackluster.

”I think I understand now, Sister Awakening’s stepfather must be truly wealthy, not just ordinarily rich. Otherwise, Sister Awakening wouldn’t be so torn.”

”You fool, it’s obvious to anyone already. If he wasn’t rich, why would she hesitate on stage for so long?”

”Honestly, if it weren’t for the wrong time and place, given a different setting and time, who knows what the answer might be.”

”What’s so difficult to say about it? Man, no offense, but in front of money, no one can resist its lure.”

”...”

Viewers in the live-stream felt a taste of disappointment as they watched.

”She couldn’t do it, huh? Her resolve was so strong just now, I thought she would agree first. I was all prepared for this, and she showed me this?”

”Honestly, I’m quite impressed with Sister Awakening. Despite her love for money, she firmly refused on her own accord. Impressive!”

”Why are you guys so excited? Didn’t you hear her stepfather say he’s not satisfied with the current answer? They’ll talk again tonight.”

”Tonight? Where will they talk, and how?”

”Hey, isn’t it obvious? It must be at home in bed, talking with their mouths, where else could it be and how else?”

”...”

Nearly everyone felt regretful they couldn’t savor the juicy scandal.

It was only the old woman, like a madwoman, who rushed to the stage regardless.

The stage staff initially intended to stop her, but were momentarily intimidated by her presence and couldn’t intercept her in time.

The old woman went on stage, not to argue with Sister Awakening but headed straight for the phone connected to Ning An’s live stream.

The viewers had a good view of the scene, enjoying it as third-party spectators, when suddenly a pale face took over the screen, startling them.

”What the hell is this, damn, even the live is haunted?”

”What kind of monster is this, so brazen to come here? Supreme Lord Laozi, by the decree, retreat swiftly!”

”Hmm? This face looks familiar... Hey, isn’t that Sister Awakening’s mom?”

”...”

With this bullet comment, the audience realized.

The one more frightening than any ghost was this old woman, previously confident and overbearing.

”Could she be here to make a wish?”

This bullet comment had everyone nodding in agreement.

”Definitely! Her rich husband wants to divorce her, any gold-digger would go mad first, not to mention she seems to be in quite a peculiar situation.”

”Not just peculiar, but extraordinarily so! Her husband wants a divorce then turn around to marry her daughter. No blood relation, but just the thought is suffocating.”

”But wishing now wouldn’t help. Everyone knows Changchun Temple can only grant one similar wish at a time, and the same person can’t make multiple wishes within a short period, Master wouldn’t grant more.”

”Perhaps she’s lost her mind and forgotten that.”

”...”

Ning An initially was also shocked by the disheveled face suddenly appearing on the screen.

Once realizing, Ning An’s first thought was she came to make a wish.

Given now the old woman can be said to have lost completely, doing nothing.

If she wants a comeback, the fastest and most direct way is to make a wish at Changchun Temple.

More importantly, her previous wish was fulfilled in no time by the temple’s founding master!

No matter who you swap in, they’d likely see wishing there as a lifeline.

”Madam, may I ask if there’s something else?”

Ning An offered a standard smile.

”Yes!”

The old woman almost spat out word by word from her throat:

”Your wishing doesn’t seem... effective!”

Hearing the first part brought a knowing smile to those present.

”As expected, she’s here for the temple’s wish, hahaha.”

But upon hearing the next part, they were left stunned.

Before they could think more, the old woman stared at the screen fiercely, her voice shrill:

”She wished for someone who knows all her likes, interests, everything, he must understand and master!”

As if regaining speech, the old woman’s voice grew increasingly arrogant:

”I won’t mention other things, but how could a stepfather possibly know all about my daughter’s everything!”

”I married him when my daughter was in her teens, not to mention he’s usually busy with business, and buries himself in the study when home, still utterly busy. Surely, such a person couldn’t meet my daughter’s needs!”

Oh no!

The viewers who were ready to laugh at the old woman were wide-eyed.

”Actually, she seems to make sense. Really, her stepfather except always being nice to her, spending money, even if superficially, other parts don’t fit.”

”Yeah, he’s just a stepfather, wouldn’t it be inappropriate otherwise? Plus he’s busy with his stuff too; knowing Sister Awakening’s birthday sounds like a competent stepfather already.”

”By this logic, did the founding master fail this wish?”

”Who knows, maybe the master just can’t stand them and didn’t fully meet their demands.”

”...”

The crowd present, hearing the old woman’s words, looked around at each other.

They didn’t expect the old woman wasn’t here for wishing, but this!

”Bah, how could she even mention this, with Sister Awakening’s standards, where could she find such a person in this world!”

”Exactly, the founding master finding someone decent is already honoring his incense, what more could she want!”

”She doesn’t wish nor complain, but suddenly brings this up, is there an underlying scheme?”

”...”

As if verifying this assumption, the old woman chuckled lightly, her smile insincere:

”Your temple’s wish failing has seriously harmed our mother-daughter mental health.”

”According to Dragon Country’s laws, asking you for some mental damage compensation is not unreasonable, right?”

Hiss!

The crowd gasped collectively.

They always felt something was off about this old woman, turns out she was waiting for this!

”Shameless! Trying to scam the temple, aren’t you afraid of the master’s lightning strike?”

”Given your daughter’s demands, even Ultraman would have to walk out naked, the master helping is already good enough, what more could you want?”

”Hurry and go, stop making a fool of yourself here, crawl away.”

”...”

Compared to the shocked crowd and viewers, Ning An remained calm.

He leisurely poured tea for himself, before looking up with a smile:

”Madam, it’s not the master’s wish failing, it’s that you’re unfamiliar with your bedmate.”

The old woman’s smug face froze: ”What do you mean?”

Ning An smiled slightly:

”Let your daughter go home once, and you’ll understand.”
