Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One-Chapter 57 - 53 Trending Again (Please Follow)

Watching Wanyan Mengwen serving him food and pouring tea for him, she truly resembled a virtuous wife and good mother. For a moment, Li Ping’an fantasized about leading such an ordinary life and being content with it, but he wasn’t worthy of it yet.

“Hurry up and eat.”

Li Ping’an and Wanyan Mengwen were eating while scrolling through their phones.

“Damn it!”

That was what both Li Ping’an and Wanyan Mengwen exclaimed at the same time.

“I’m freaking viral again!”

Staring at his phone, Li Ping’an was completely dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded!

Because, while scrolling through videos, he saw the footage of him exterminating evil spirits from last night, and it was the full version!

“Who the hell is doing this to me!”

Li Ping’an just felt overwhelmed; the incident with the female streamer Zhou Shufenzi had already caused a huge stir, but it had since died down.

And now, this video had once again ignited a storm on the internet that had been quieting down, sparking widespread discussion.

On the internet now, Li Ping’an had become so popular to the extent that the views, search volume, and buzz of this video completely surpassed the previous one predicting the death of the female streamer Zhou Shufenzi. It had reached a point where it would be automatically recommended without even searching for it.

It even surpassed influencers with tens of millions of followers, and as long as you opened various video apps and forums, everything was about whether Li Ping’an could really cast spells, whether he was an immortal, and videos, topics, and news about him catching ghosts.

Some self-media marketing accounts, eager for views, even affirmed Li Ping’an’s status as a living immortal, proclaiming him as some earthly immortal, a descended true god. In short, whatever was sensational, shocking, or attention-grabbing, that’s how they wrote, and even department C of shocking stories admitted their expertise!

The most infuriating thing was those internet pranksters and abstract humorists who were fanning the flames on various apps and spreading word, seemingly afraid the chaos around Li Ping’an wasn’t sufficient. They even commented under threads that Li Ping’an was the disciple of the Neon Emperor Sun Xiaochuan, and all of this was orchestrated by the nefarious Sun Xiaochuan.

They also photoshopped Li Ping’an’s portrait into memes and spread them everywhere. In just one night, Li Ping’an had become the internet’s new celebrity, one of the three internet phenomena.

With a smack, Li Ping’an furiously slammed his phone down on the table and glared at Wanyan Mengwen:

“Give me an explanation! You promise-breaking liar!”

“I have no idea who leaked the video!”

Wanyan Mengwen looked completely innocent and confused:

“It definitely wasn’t us who leaked it. Don’t panic, I’ll ask my cousin!”

Wanyan Mengwen, while steadying Li Ping’an’s trembling hand, made a phone call to her cousin Huang Yi’an:

“Hello, cousin, what’s happening? How did Li Ping’an’s ghost-catching video get on the internet?”

“Li Ping’an’s pretty angry, right? Okay, let him have the phone…”

Wanyan Mengwen quickly handed the phone to Li Ping’an.

“Li Ping’an, don’t panic, let me explain…”

“Hmph!”

Li Ping’an tilted his head, not wanting to talk to the cheater Huang Yi’an at all.

“It really isn’t our fault, here’s what happened…”

Only then did Huang Yi’an detail the whole chain of events:

Since last night, when Li Ping’an had dealt with the evil spirits and showed everyone his Divine Skills through “Dream Marriage,” Li Ping’an thought he was safe, especially after he had ordered the person recording the farewell video to delete it, he, Huang Yi’an, and Wanyan Mengwen all thought it was over.

But they were terribly wrong. It wasn’t just that person who recorded the farewell message who had secretly filmed everything, there were several others who just didn’t say anything at the time.

After these people returned to the hotel, they kept replaying the dream in their minds, which was the full process of Li Ping’an catching the ghost.

Most were in a hurry to get home and didn’t think much of it, believing they had had a nightmare, but one person kept wondering if the dream was real or fake. If it was fake, why couldn’t he shake it off? And if it was real, why did it feel like a dream?

So he searched his phone for clues and actually found the video he had recorded, which was from the appearance of the ghosts, his own fear of dying and recording a farewell message, to the process of Li Ping’an capturing the ghost.

Without a second thought, this person uploaded the video online, which immediately caused a huge stir. Meaning, the video had been circulating for nearly eleven hours since those people had returned from the hotel until now.

By the time Huang Yi’an and the others found out, it was already 9:30 in the morning, and out of shame for having a gentleman’s agreement with Li Ping’an, they had been waiting for a call from Li Ping’an till now.

“Li Ping’an, we’re sorry, this is our fault!”

After Huang Yi’an finished explaining, he kept apologizing to Li Ping’an over the phone.

But after hearing the whole story, Li Ping’an instantly realized the problem was with him, his low cultivation had caused his Divine Skills: Dream Marriage to not be strong enough, which allowed that person to exploit it.

“Dammit, this is infuriating!”

“…”

On the other end of the phone, Huang Yi’an thought Li Ping’an was cursing him, but he didn’t get angry and didn’t speak.

“By the way, Brother Huang, it’s good that I anticipated this. I knew there were no completely tight walls in this world. According to our previous arrangement, can you immediately release a clarification video?”

“Yes, of course, as long as you’re not angry, that’s fine.”

“Then release the clarification video quick, quickly!”

“Alright, we’ll immediately have everyone involved sign a non-disclosure agreement and have the person who uploaded the video make a public apology!”

Huang Yi’an hung up the phone, but Li Ping’an was so upset by the person who had uploaded the video that he couldn’t eat anything, randomly drank a glass of milk, and then clutched his phone waiting for news.

After half an hour, Huang Yi’an did indeed release the clarification video online, including the uploader’s apology video.

This video swiftly topped the trending searches on various apps and forums.

Li Ping’an quickly opened it and glanced at the comments below:

Niu Junsheng: I told you guys Li Ping’an was a fraud, but you didn’t believe me, even sending me private messages to curse me!
