A legitimate clarification was labeled as whitewashing by anti-fans, which the Glutinous Rice Fans couldn't tolerate. They felt it was no different from being ungrateful.
Cherry-flavored meatballs: Jiang Nuo definitely couldn't save Zhang Quan! Otherwise, why would he suddenly end the broadcast!
Glutinous Rice Pepper and Salt Cake: Mmm, next time during the live stream, can he kowtow three times and kneel nine times, and you guys have to shout "Retreat from court" before the stream ends? ^_^
Darkened Puppy: Why hasn't Zhang Quan come out to report that he's safe after several days? There's not a single word from him. He must have been saved by Jiang Nuo!
Glutinous Rice Milk Foam: He's a celebrity, not a three-year-old. Why do you have to watch him 24/7? Why are you being so nosy!
A user named "Homebody Daidaiyuan" commented. "What's wrong with us caring about Zhang Quan's health? Is it wrong to want to know the truth? There are so many ghosts and monsters these days, what if we run into one one day?!"
Don't bother me, Sister Mi: You're always so nosy, you might get breast hyperplasia! Even a septic tanker truck passing by has to taste your stuff to make sure it's salty! If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of? ^v^
Haters:...
You Glutinous Rice girls have such sharp tongues!
"Wow, that's amazing."
Jiang Nuo sighed as he swiped the brush.
However, it's not enough to let the fans fight alone!
He calculated the time needed to refine the Half-Corpse Soul, started fiddling with his phone, and soon a Weibo was freshly generated.
Jiang Nuo: Then let Zhang Quan do another live stream tomorrow! Stop cursing, stop cursing, people who curse me and Glutinous Rice will be in big trouble~
Haters:?
Wait! Shut up!
You're a celebrity! How can you argue with us like this!
Shouldn't we just lie down and let them mock us?! Why are they cursing us?! Delete it, delete it!
Glutinous Rice Fans is a hot topic!
It's so satisfying to see haters wanting to curse but not daring to, only jumping up and down in the comments section and sending emojis!
" Nuonuo!"
Wearing insulated gloves, Si Yan quickly walked over with a plate of food and placed it in front of Jiang Nuo, her eyes full of anticipation.
" Brother Cui said I've improved, you should give it a try."
Jiang Nuo exclaimed, "Charcoal-grilled stir-fried pork!"
"... This is braised pork."
Si Yan's voice was soft and melodious.
"Ah, braised..." Jiang Nuo picked up a piece with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, chewed it, took a sip of water, and swallowed it.
" Si Yan, come here."
Jiang Nuo put down her chopsticks and stretched out her arms to him.
Si Yan took his hand, sat down beside him, and naturally hugged him, her tone sullen, "Is it not tasty?"
"It's not bad, it's edible."
Jiang Nuo offered only token words of comfort.
"You said that the food of the Bone Witch Tribe is edible..." Si Yan said sadly, "But you said that all the dishes Brother Cui makes are delicious."
It turns out that the food he made was on par with the Bone Witch Tribe's!
"That's not the point," Jiang Nuo said, squeezing Si Yan's hand reassuringly. "Neither of us has any talent for cooking. We can order takeout or hire someone to cook for us."
"I want to keep Nuonuo and not let anyone else into the house."
Si Yan is extremely domineering.
Jiang Nuo reached out her hand to him, "I'm easy to take care of, all I need is Manny!"
"Puff..."
Lili couldn't hold back any longer and quickly covered her mouth, waving her hands, "Sorry, you guys continue, I'll go help in the kitchen."

The next day, Jiang Nuo woke up and rushed to Zhang Quan's house without stopping, accompanied by Si Yan, who ostensibly went to protect him.
Zhang Quan's house was covered with talismans and incantations, and one could feel the eerie atmosphere as soon as they opened the door.
The bedroom, protected by red ropes tied with bells and talismans, was filled with an eerie atmosphere; any corpse placed inside would be transformed into a zombie.
Si Yan pulled his heavy coat tighter around himself. No wonder Nuonuo told him to wear more clothes before she left; the air was so cold.
Looking into the room, the windows were tightly closed, making it airtight, with only three eternal candles illuminating the dim light.
On the bed Zhang Quan, who had fallen into a brief sleep with the talisman affixed to his body. His body had already developed rigor mortis, and his nails and hair were growing wildly.
Jiang Nuo placed the incense burner, which was filled with resentful energy, next to Zhang Quan, followed by the red rope and the Corpse-Shaking Nail he took out from his spatial storage.
" Si Yan, go wait for me in the living room."
He pushed Si Yan outside and touched the top of Si Yan soft hair. "The yin energy here is overwhelming; you must feel uncomfortable."
Si Yan gently nuzzled her and hummed in agreement, " Nuonuo, be careful."
Seeing his genuine worry, Jiang Nuo smiled easily, "Alright, alright, with Little Lucky Star around, we'll surely turn misfortune into good fortune."
As Si Yan was pushed out, she watched the door gradually close, lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, also touching her hair.
It seems that only with Jiang Nuo is he Little Lucky Star, a fortunate one, not a disaster. How wonderful.
The bedroom door is closed.
The last ventilation hole in the house disappeared, and the stagnant yin energy began to surge violently again, rampaging around the corpse. If the talisman is removed, the corpse will transform into a vengeful ghost or zombie.
The process of refining Half-Corpse Soul involves injecting resentful energy into the body within the short span of a few minutes between the unveiling of the talisman and the complete transformation into a corpse, and inserting seven Corpse-Shaking Nail into the body's acupoints to ensure that the living soul does not dissipate.
When the vengeful ghost energy clashes with the living soul, and the bell tied with the red rope rings three times, it signifies the awakening of the Half-Corpse Soul.
The refiner must possess the powerful ability to resist the entry of Yin energy into the body, as well as the willpower to endure both physical and mental pain after the corpse's soul is restored. Both are indispensable; if one is not careful, the refiner himself will suffer a backlash.
Jiang Nuo brushed her hand over her left eye, pulled off the jade bone she always wore, and bit her index finger until it bled.
The blood was instantly absorbed, and Jiang Nuo placed the jade bone above Zhang Quan's corpse, where it remained suspended in mid-air.
The bones belonging to the King of All Ghosts have absorbed the lives and resentment of many players coming and going in the dungeon, and possess extraordinary destructive power.
All the rampaging yin energy in the room instantly calmed down.
Long, slender fingertips peeled away the talisman.
Zhang Quan immediately began to tremble, his muscles bulging and sacrificing themselves, black lines spreading from his neck, and the transformation into a zombie began.
"The true spirit of the underworld, binding ghosts and evil..."
A low chanting sound rang out. Jiang Nuo flipped her wrist and quickly opened the incense burner. Her two fingers were filled with Spiritual Power, forcing the resentful aura into Cui Ming's corpse.
"Hmm..."
Unable to withstand the ghostly energy that did not belong to him, Zhang Quan began to struggle. His arms stiffened and thrust forward, as if he might rise at any moment.
Jiang Nuo's expression remained unchanged. His left eye, glowing with an eerie light, remained fixed on the corpse, ensuring that he could suppress any disturbance in time. He held the incense burner in his left hand and used two fingers of his right hand to form a hand seal, pinching up two Corpse-Shaking Nail in a spell-casting gesture.
The first acupoint is Baihui on the top of the head.
"Ho!!"
Zhang Quan's struggles grew more and more intense; he swung his arms in an attempt to attack, his lips parted, and the Corpse Qi dissipated.
Jiang Nuo slapped him back.
The second acupoint, the Jade Pillow, was where the pain was most intense. Zhang Quan's body arched, but Jiang Nuo pressed him down again. The dense Yin energy within the Jade Bone suppressed Zhang Quan, preventing him from fully transforming into a zombie and launching an attack.
By the time the seventh one was picked up, Jiang Nuo's breathing became heavy, her fingertips trembled, and she felt somewhat weak.
He closed his eyes and forcefully inserted the last vital point.
Zhang Quan opened his eyes wide, his pupils dilated, and the whites of his eyes were almost invisible. He opened his mouth and bit Jiang Nuo.
