“Ding, ding, ding…”

Li Yidao was woken up by his classic ringtone when the sky had just turned bright.

He subconsciously reached for his phone and pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

The other side remained silent, and Li Yidao could only hear some static noise.

Li Yidao checked his phone and confirmed the call was connected, but the person on the other end didn’t say anything.

“Hello? Do you have something to say? If not, I’ll hang up!”

Waking up early in the morning and not getting a response, anyone would become impatient.

Three seconds passed.

Just as Li Yidao was about to end the call, a voice of an elderly woman came from the phone, “Um… Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Li Yidao?”

“Um, yes, who is this?” Li Yidao’s tone softened a bit upon hearing an elderly person on the other end.

“I… I am Cao Yajing’s grandmother. My… my girl passed away last night. She… sob… she left me this phone and asked me to call you after her passing.” The voice on the phone was intermittent.

Clearly, the signal wasn’t very good, and the person on the other end might have had difficulty speaking due to her old age.

However. Li Yidao heard the name Cao Yaiing clearly!

This name… he was very familiar with…

Li Yidao sat up on the bed, and his eyes showed a mix of emotions that were hard to put into words.

“You are Cao Yajing’s grandmother? She passed away last night?”

“Yes… yes… she suddenly fainted last night, and before we could reach the hospital… she was gone…”

“She left your number for me yesterday. She… said you had made arrangements with her, and that you knew what to do. Sob, sob…

The voice on the phone struggled to explain.

After the explanation, the person on the other end was already choked with tears.

“Cao… Grandma Cao, don’t worry for now. Where are you right now? Are you in your hometown or…”

Upon hearing Li Yidao’s inquiry, the voice on the phone responded intermittently, “I… I’m in my hometown. Yajing said she didn’t want to leave her hometown. She… she said she just wanted to stay here with me…”

“I understand. Grandma Cao, please ask someone in the village to help you build a mourning hall for now. I’ll rush over right away, and I should be there tonight or early tomorrow morning. I’ll help her prepare for the funeral.”

“We have already discussed all the expenses, so you don’t need to worry. I’ll bring all the necessary items with me.”

“Also… let’s talk about it when I arrive. For now, find someone to help set up the mourning hall.”

“Okay… sob, okay… I understand…”

He ended the call.

Li Yidao got up and put on his clothes.

The distance from Li Yidao to Cao Yajing’s location was not very close.

There was a considerable distance of mountain roads that could only be traveled by motorcycle.

He also needed to purchase some items, so time was tight.

Yes, this Cao Yajing was the same mountain girl that Li Yidao followed last night!

But he never expected that she would pass away so quickly.

He had thought there would be more time.

At this moment, he even felt a bit guilty.

If it weren’t for him… If he didn’t follow her, maybe she would have had some more time.

Perhaps it was because of his appearance that Cao Yajing’s last worries were relieved, and she took her last breath.

However, he couldn’t dwell on that now.

The only thing he could do was to make sure she had a decent departure.

That was the most important thing

Moreover, it had been a while since he received a follow-up mission.

He had a feeling that after this task was over, the system might undergo a new change!

At the time Li Yidao received the call, the online community had already erupted into a frenzy!

Three hours earlier, the platform had already released a message:

[Streamer “Little Sister from the Mountain Area” passed away at 2 a.m. due to terminal liver cancer, all rescue measures proved ineffectual. This is an announcement.]

[Considering the special contract the streamer had signed with the platform during her lifetime, the platform will publish the latest contract content and the current streamer’s earnings for everyone’s supervision.]

[Furthermore, the platform solemnly declares that, given the actual situation of the streamer, the platform will not deduct any portion of her earnings. At the same time, a monitoring group will be established to follow up on this matter in the long term.]

With the release of this series of messages, people were completely dumbfounded!

What had happened again?

However, after everyone searched the ID of the “Little Sister from the Mountain Area” and learned about her past on the internet, everyone’s heart were shattered!

What kind of girl was she? How could she have such determination?

What kind of experiences did she go through?!

It felt like something out of a novel, and yet, who would dare to write such a story?

If any author wrote it like this, they would receive death threats from readers!

But the fact was that it happened.

As for the fans who had already been following the mountain girl, especially her loyal fans, they began a frenzy of discussion about her latest state!

“D*mn! Unbelievable! Brother Dao actually killed the little sister for real!”

“Why did this happen so suddenly? I was planning to visit the mountain girl’s home in a few days.”

“Sob, the little sister is gone. My little sister is gone.”

“Suffering will eventually pass… may the little sister find no more pain in heaven.”

“May there be no more pain!”

“Did the mountain girl really pass away? Is Brother Dao really that incredible?

But why do I feel a bit sad this time?”

“@Brother Yidao Funeral Shop! Godd*mn! I’m going to get you for this!”

“@Brother Yidao Funeral Shop! Give back our mountain girl!”

“I want to know if Brother Dao will really fulfill his promise to provide one yuan for the mountain girl’s funeral?”

“Yes! Brother Dao said during the livestream yesterday that he would charge one yuan for the mountain girl’s funeral!”

“Let’s go ask Brother Dao! Let’s see if he’ll go back on his word!” “Exactly! If Brother Dao dares to default, I will never follow him again!” “Don’t worry, our Grim Reaper Legion will testify! Brother Dao will never default!”

“Right! Brother Dao always keeps his word!”

At this moment, all topics inevitably revolved around the name “Brother Dao.” After all, it was truly shocking!

Yesterday, Li Yidao had just started following the mountain girl, and today she passed away.

How many people were there like Brother Dao?

The legend of Brother Dao being the incarnation of the Grim Reaper was unstoppable!

Soon, the majority of netizens shifted their focus to Li Yidao’s account.

Except for a few who vented their curses, everyone else had the same theme in their comments!

“Can you fulfill the one-yuan funeral, Brother Dao?”

And this topic quickly surged to the top three on the trending list!

Once again, Li Yidao’s fans increased by tens of thousands!

When Li Yidao checked the comments on his account, it was already ten in the morning.

He had hurriedly got up early, and Li Hui had already left.

Li Yidao didn’t mind.

After preparing everything, he locked the door and took a taxi straight to Cao Yajing’s village.

As for the address, he naturally knew it from when he had helped Li Yinuo mail things to the mountain girl before.

They had been mailing items for quite some time.

Sitting in the car, he opened the platform.

When he saw more than 9999+ comments under his account, he was a bit stunned.

Was he the kind of person who went back on his word?

He didn’t read all the comments one by one.

Instead, he went directly to his Status and filmed a video while driving, with accompanying text.

“On the way, will livestream the funeral tomorrow morning.”

It was a simple sentence, but it answered all the doubts!

However…

What Li Yidao didn’t know was that, the funeral tomorrow morning was not as simple as he thought!
