Chapter 505 - 359: Who Says a Doll Can’t Be a Companion? (Part 2)
"No, why is it that when that old geezer asks for a marriage, he gets a young, beautiful girl, but when I ask for one, I end up with a Tyrannosaurus from Sichuan and Chongqing three years older than me!!!"
"Say no more, I’m packing my bags and heading north to Changchun Temple right now!"
"This doesn’t make sense. Could it be that the Immortal in heaven got dizzy and accidentally paired the wrong people?"
"Wahh, I refuse to accept this, I refuse..."
Seeing those two long legs, the live stream room exploded instantly.
Earlier, when a foot was sticking out of the box, the stream viewers were surprised but could somewhat accept it after they came back to their senses.
After all, Changchun Temple has been a hotspot for human traffickers, and there have been several caught during live streams alone.
So it wasn’t that surprising for people at the foot of Changchun Temple to see a trafficked woman.
Besides, just by looking at a foot, it’s hard to tell the person’s age.
But now that both legs were exposed, even for someone inexperienced, it’s evident the owner of those legs is definitely not over thirty, exceeding everyone’s expectations.
Everyone knows that, according to official Dragon Country statistics, there are more women than men, with millions more single women than single men. Yet this doesn’t affect their choice; they will only choose the right one, never settling!
What does this mean?
It means these women would rather stay single their whole life than be with someone they don’t find suitable!
It’s quite apparent that an old man, bald, over sixty, and penniless, is pretty much sentenced to death with these labels.
Not even the village’s divorced middle-aged women would fancy Wang Erniu over starving.
And now, just through a wish at Changchun Temple, his life completely turned around, which is even more unbelievable than winning a million in the lottery!
Compared to the barrage comments in the live stream, Wang Erniu was feeling even more excited.
After taking several deep breaths, his pounding heart finally calmed a bit.
Originally, he thought if he could find a woman in her forties willing to be with him through his wish at Changchun Temple, he’d be content.
But he never expected the Immortal of Changchun Temple to be so generous and give such an unexpected surprise?
The moment he saw those legs, Wang Erniu even thought of the marketing video.
[Snow and wind have beaten me for sixty years, but I laugh in the breeze, the snow is my pillow! Can you resist a sixty-year-old bachelor? What will you use to stop me!]
A sixty-something-year-old bachelor finding a twenty-something-year-old young lady to marry would surely make his online account go viral!
Once his account goes viral, the next step would be promoting products. A mere one hundred thousand US Dollars would be nothing by then?!
Thinking about this, Wang Erniu’s heart, which had just calmed down, started racing again uncontrollably.
Right now, he couldn’t wait any longer to open the box to verify.
The stream viewers were even more impatient.
"Alright, alright, hurry up, we all know what you’re thinking. Open the box first, let us see, so we can report you and feel at ease."
"What’s there to dilly-dally about? Is this a donkey stalling on the millstone? Speed it up!"
"Let’s boldly guess, is the girl in the box trafficked? I bet she’s no older than twenty-five!"
"I recall, generally in documentaries, the trafficked young girls are mostly naive female college students, mostly not older than twenty-three!"
"Alright! I’m already holding the phone tightly, just waiting for him to open the box. I’ll admire a bit, then immediately call the police!"
Female college students being trafficked in Dragon Country had been a common occurrence for a long time.
Even now, in the twenty-first century, after several decades, such incidents still happen frequently.
As long as there are remote and backward rural areas, and single old bachelors in the countryside, it will continue to happen every day.
It’s just that the official crackdown is very intense, and everyone’s resentment towards traffickers is very high, so basically, no one has seen a trafficker or a trafficked person.
Especially with the enormous popularity of Changchun Temple, it makes people’s hearts even itchier.
So when that foot showed up from the box, the news that a sixty-something-year-old bachelor found a trafficked female college student quickly spread, bringing millions of viewers rushing into the live stream you love.
A sixty-year-old bachelor found a female college student as his partner through a wish at Changchun Temple!
This is more incredible than the Arabian Magic Lamp, naturally not something anyone wanted to miss.
Ning An’s live stream was packed with viewers, causing the streaming platform to lag.
And as the person involved, Wang Erniu, his heart was pounding more fiercely than ever.
If it was just an ordinary village woman, he wouldn’t be this nervous.
After all, he had seen the world before. Even though he was poorer now, with his past connections, earning some living expenses wouldn’t be too difficult.
But now, the Immortal of Changchun Temple played a huge joke on him.
This sudden surprise left him quite at a loss.
Changchun Temple, being so generous!
"Immortal bless! The devotee will surely return to fulfill the vow!"
Silently reciting these lines in his heart, he finally stepped forward and slowly opened the box.
The next moment, the complete contents of the box appeared on screen.
However, what was inside the box shocked the stream viewers into confusion.
A doll?!
And a quite realistic one!
Where’s the supposed twenty-something virgin maiden?
How did it turn into a doll...
Where’s the person?
"What the... Is this not a human-like doll? Am I seeing this right?"
"You’re not seeing it wrong, this doll is one of the higher-end ones, trending around ten thousand online, so it’s made quite realistically."
"I initially thought the Immortal at Changchun Temple messed up the matchmaking line, but turns out, no matchmaking happened at all."
"I was even ready to call the police, and turns out I got all worked up for nothing!"
"To be fair, Changchun Temple’s wishes operate on a principle of equivalent exchange. If the old man really ended up with a twenty-something female college student, I can’t even imagine what price he’d have to pay!"
In an instant, the live stream was flooded with layers of "???" comments.
In a sense, this doll indeed met all of the old man’s needs.
Model-like body, celebrity looks, diligent, able to endure life’s hardships!
It’s not even just about need; even if he just wanted to snuggle a bit, there wouldn’t be any complaints.
And the most baffled was naturally Wang Erniu himself.
When he realized the box contained a human-like doll, he was utterly dumbfounded.
What happened?!
Where’s the promised twenty-something virgin maiden?
He even used half of his remaining savings to make a wish at Changchun Temple. Even if it’s not a young maiden, it should at least be a person!
The strong sense of disappointment suddenly made the old man’s vision go black, and he sat down on the ground.
He couldn’t believe or accept this fact.
"Little Daoist, can you go help him up? He seems to be shattered."
"Who wouldn’t be shattered by this! Initially thinking it’s a young maiden, then it turns out not even a person, hahaha."
"I must say, the old man has quite a resilient mindset. He just sat on the ground, but if it were me, I’d probably throw a hysterical fit."
"I’m truly impressed! The Immortal at Changchun Temple has such a unique way of granting wishes!"
"Amazing! I apologize. I misunderstood before, thinking the Immortal was addled. Turns out the fool was myself!"
"Not one to disappoint! Such a bizarre method of wish fulfillment could only be thought of by an Immortal. If I had this mindset, I’d be thriving in the bureaucratic system!"
"..."
The stream viewers were bustling with activity, while the slumped Wang Erniu gradually came back to his senses.
Seeing the human-like doll before him, Wang Erniu got up, sneakily glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then hurriedly rushed home hugging the doll.
"Alright... I’ll make do with this."
