Chapter 73: A Human Farce
Liu Yu and his companions had barely returned to the human world and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when the system's voice rang in Liu Yu's mind: "Host, a new mission has arrived! You need to help a wealthy businessman who has been bewitched to return to normal."
Liu Yu looked helpless: "Ugh, I just got back and there's another mission. Can't people get some rest?"
Xu Xian, with a distressed expression, said, "What should we do?"
Bai Suzhen comforted her, "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Let's go and see what's going on."
So, following the system's instructions, they arrived at the wealthy merchant's house.
The wealthy businessman's house was incredibly luxurious, with carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent in gold. Liu Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "The lives of the rich are truly different!"
They met the wealthy merchant, who was dressed in strange clothes, gesturing wildly in the courtyard and muttering incantations.
Liu Yu stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
The wealthy businessman glanced at him and said with a grin, "I want to fly, I want to fly!"
Liu Yu was both amused and exasperated: "How can you fly? You've been bewitched!"
The wealthy businessman wouldn't listen and continued his charade.
Xiaoqing said, "Is this guy crazy?"
At this moment, the wealthy merchant's steward came over, looking distressed, and said, "Heroes, please save my master! Ever since he was bewitched, he has become like this."
Liu Yu said, "Don't worry, we'll figure something out."
They began searching for clues, and Xu Xian discovered a strange book in the study.
Xu Xian opened the book and saw that it was full of symbols and patterns he couldn't understand.
Liu Yu leaned closer and said, "What is this? It's giving me a headache."
Bai Suzhen took the book, studied it carefully, and said, "This may be the key to breaking the spell."
Just then, the wealthy businessman suddenly ran over, snatched the book, and tore it to shreds.
"My book! My book!" Xu Xian cried out anxiously, jumping up and down.
Liu Yu said angrily, "Why are you causing trouble, you rich businessman!"
The wealthy businessman laughed heartily: "I don't want to go back to normal, I'm fine as I am."
Then he ran off again.
They had no choice but to keep trying to find a solution, and Liu Yu discovered a strange statue in the garden.
The statue's eyes seem to move.
Liu Yu was startled: "Why is this statue so eerie?"
Xiaoqing walked over and looked at it carefully: "It might be related to magic."
As they were studying it, the wealthy businessman ran over and started kissing and hugging the statue.
Liu Yu couldn't help but complain, "This rich businessman is hopeless."
At this moment, the system spoke: "Host, to break the spell, you need to find the person who cast it."
Liu Yu said, "Where can we find this?"
Just when they were completely clueless, a mysterious old woman appeared at the door.
The old woman said ominously, "I am the one who casts the spell."
Liu Yu said, "Old woman, why did you cast a spell on the rich businessman?"
The old woman said, "He is rich but heartless, and he bullies the people. This is the punishment he deserves."
Liu Yu said, "You can't do this. Quickly break the spell."
The old woman said, "I can break the spell, but you have to agree to one condition."
Liu Yu asked, "What are the conditions?"
The old woman said, "Let the rich merchant do more good deeds and help the poor in the future."
Liu Yu nodded quickly: "No problem, no problem."
The old woman smiled and waved her hand, and the wealthy businessman instantly returned to normal.
After regaining consciousness, the wealthy businessman looked bewildered: "What happened to me?"
Liu Yu told him what had happened.
The wealthy businessman was filled with remorse: "I will definitely do more good deeds in the future and turn over a new leaf."
Liu Yu and his team had completed their mission and were preparing to leave.
The wealthy businessman stopped them, saying, "Gentlemen, wait a moment, I must thank you properly."
As he spoke, he had someone bring out a box of gold and silver treasures.
Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "How could I possibly accept this?"
Xu Xian said, "We cannot accept it."
Liu Yu said, "Oh, it's just a kind gesture, so I'll accept it."
In the end, they accepted the treasure.
Leaving the wealthy businessman's house, Liu Yu said triumphantly, "I've made a fortune this time."
Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, all you care about is money."
Liu Yu said, "Money makes the world go round, but without money, you can't move an inch."
As they were talking, a group of robbers suddenly rushed out.
The bandit leader said, "Hand over the treasure!"
Liu Yu was so frightened that she clutched the treasure tightly: "This is ours, we won't give it to you!"
A fierce battle for control has begun...
