Chapter 36: You Didn’t Originally Look Like This, Did You?

“When did you start gaining weight?” Shen Chujin asked.

Looking Up at the Stars recalled carefully, “It was probably near the end of the second semester of my sophomore year. Strangely, my diet didn’t change, but suddenly I kept gaining weight uncontrollably, no matter what I did.”

“I even went to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctors said there was nothing wrong with my body.”

“After that, I tried controlling my diet and exercising, but it didn’t help at all. I even started gaining weight just from drinking water. I had no choice but to give up and accept my fate.”

Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly looked at Shen Chujin.

“Master Shen, is it possible that there’s some other curse on me?”

“It’s not exactly a curse, but your body shape and appearance were stolen by someone else.”

“Stolen… stolen?”

Looking Up at the Stars opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

That really sounded incredible.

Shen Chujin prompted him, “Think about it — after your body changed, did anyone around you have a big change in their appearance?”

No sooner had Shen Chujin finished speaking than Looking Up at the Stars became excited.

“Yes!”

“That’s my roommate! He originally had the same body shape I have now — very fat. When I started getting fat, he miraculously began to lose weight.”

“As he slimmed down, he became very handsome, and his eyebrows and features still resembled my original appearance somewhat.”

“In the end, he was even discovered by a talent scout and became a popular celebrity.”

“Do you have a photo of him?”

“Yes, should I show it to you now?”

“Hmm.”

“But won’t it be bad to reveal his information like this? After all, he’s a public figure now.”

【Brother, you’re way too kind! The other person stole your body and appearance, and you’re still worried about him.】

【Exactly! Maybe if you hadn’t changed like this, you’d be the one who became a star.】

【Right, right. If he did do it, exposing him is serving justice. If he didn’t, it’ll prove his innocence and help him gain fans. Win-win.】

Reading the comments, Looking Up at the Stars thought they made sense.

So, he found the person’s photo online.

When Shen Chujin saw the face in the photo, she was certain.

“That’s right. The one who harmed you is him, and even this time’s evil eye curse was deliberately cast by that person.”

The netizens also recognized him.

【Huh, isn’t this Qin Junning, the new rising idol?】

【Exactly! He recently starred in a drama that became a huge hit. Everyone was attracted by his looks and figure, calling him their husband, and he gained millions of followers overnight.】

【I’m just a casual fan of Qin Junning! Host, I’m disappointed in you! How can you recklessly accuse Qin Junning based on just one photo? Don’t you know that people can sue you for defamation?】

【@Qin Junning Fan Club, come here! Someone is slandering our brother!】

Within a minute, a large crowd flooded the live stream.

【I heard someone’s slandering my brother. Who’s so bold? Come out now!】

【What a lousy live stream, how dare you ride on my brother’s popularity? Do you want to die?】

【…】

Qin Junning’s fans didn’t hesitate to start cursing as soon as they entered the live stream.

Their fighting spirit was overwhelming!

They pushed down all the protective comments from Shen Chujin’s few loyal fans.

Although Shen Chujin had gained some followers in recent days, the metaphysics live stream was a niche field with a small audience. No matter how many followers she gained, it couldn’t compare to the popular young stars in the entertainment industry.

For a while, almost all the comments in the live chat were cursing Shen Chujin.

Some didn’t even know what was going on but kept insulting nonstop.

They used filthy language and cursed very harshly.

Shen Chujin only glanced over these comments indifferently and did not retaliate.

If a mad dog bites you, do you have to bite back?

People who casually insult others are destined to suffer from the backlash of their own harsh words, leading to a messy life with no smoothness.

She took it lightly, but the viewers in the live stream couldn’t stand it.

Originally, some casual viewers didn’t want to say much.

But seeing Qin Junning’s fans becoming more and more offensive, they really couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

So they told the whole story about what happened to Looking Up at the Stars.

【That still doesn’t prove that these two things were done by our brother Junning!】

【Exactly, everything needs evidence. Without evidence, just saying things randomly is slander!】

“Whether he did it or not, once the spell is broken, everything will be clear,” Shen Chujin said with meaning.

【What do you mean?】

“When the spell is broken, the person who harmed you will suffer the spell’s backlash. First, the stolen appearance will be fully returned, and he will revert to his original look. Second, since he cast the evil eye curse on you, once the curse is lifted, he will receive double the backlash effect. Judging by Looking Up at the Stars’ current physical condition, once the curse is broken, he won’t be far from death.”

She calmly looked at Looking Up at the Stars, who had not yet recovered from his shock.

“If you want to get your body and appearance back and punish him, just follow me and recite two lines of the incantation now.”

Looking Up at the Stars raised his head, his eyes firm.

“All right!”

If the other party was heartless, then he couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.

Because of the changes in his body, his life had become a mess, and he lost many good job opportunities. It was impossible not to be angry.

【Hmph, this is nonsense! My brother Junning is currently on a live variety show. I want to see if he really changed!】

【Exactly, how can anyone say someone changed their appearance without proof? Such arrogance! It’ll be embarrassing when proven wrong!】

News about Qin Junning participating in a live variety show had already spread online.

His name was still trending on Weibo hot search.

Below it were endless leaked photos and videos.

Fans were all screaming, “So handsome! So handsome!”

Viewers in the live chat curiously opened tablets, computers, or another phone nearby to find the currently streaming variety show “Youth Journey.”

This show gathered some young male celebrities and gave them very little travel expenses to go on a budget trip.

Currently, several male celebrities were completing tasks to earn their travel fees.

Qin Junning was assigned to a crowded plaza where he needed to take photos with ten people without being recognized.

But he was recognized when taking a photo with the first person.

Because…

Other male celebrities disguised themselves with props, some even wore masks.

He, however, appeared in short sleeves and jeans, hair perfectly styled, and wore a pair of cool sunglasses.

He looked like a big star at a glance!

The moment he was recognized, he was taking photos with a group of fangirls, the crowd was booming, and the whole plaza was blocked, packed tight.

“Ready?” Shen Chujin looked at Looking Up at the Stars.

He nodded.

“Good. I will say one line, then you repeat after me.”

“Heaven and earth’s mysterious origin, the root of all qi.”

“Heaven and earth’s mysterious origin, the root of all qi.”

“Vastly cultivate the great calamity, prove my divine power.”

“Vastly cultivate the great calamity, prove my divine power.”

“…”
