The Little Ghost and the Master’s Aid

[Is this really a script? The child poet is holding it!]

[It really looks like it’s been dead for a long time…]

[Another supernatural incident? There have been more and more of these recently. I hope the live stream doesn’t get shut down.]

[The authorities have been cracking down these past few years. Most of the poorly-run funeral supply shops near my home have gone out of business. The good ones have all registered with the local jurisdiction; they might even have official accreditation now!]

Initially skeptical, the live stream viewers, upon witnessing the scene Bai Wanwan shared through her talismans, found it utterly preposterous. Yet, seeing was believing, and they had no choice but to accept the reality unfolding before their eyes.

“Watching too much of this can affect your health. Let’s stop here for now.”

With a gentle squeeze, Bai Wanwan’s talisman instantly disintegrated into ash. Her movements were swift and decisive, sending a wave of excitement through the live stream audience.

[Host, I want to learn that too.]

“So… this jade really is problematic?”

The one truly drenched in cold sweat was Liu Guochang. After all, while the other viewers in the live stream might have been afraid, they were ultimately just spectators. But Liu Guochang was different; he had genuinely encountered a ghost!

“No wonder my neck has been feeling uncomfortable lately. I thought it was just fatigue…”

“Miss Bai… no, Master Bai, please, you must help me!”

Liu Guochang no longer cared about the value of the jade around his neck; at this moment, all he wanted was to get rid of the accursed thing as quickly as possible.

“It’s nothing major, just some dark magic from Southeast Asia. To us, those monkey tricks are amateurish, barely even second-rate.”

Bai Wanwan softly reassured the agitated Liu Guochang, then proceeded to draw another talisman.

“This is a ‘little ghost’ someone cultivated. It’s been staying by your side to steal your luck and lifespan. Fortunately, it hasn’t been there long enough to become deeply entrenched.”

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she displayed a talisman before the camera. The ‘little ghost,’ upon seeing the talisman she produced, trembled violently, snarling and baring its teeth at her relentlessly. It clutched Liu Guochang’s ears tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.

At that moment, Liu Guochang felt a piercing pain at the base of his ears, as if they were about to be torn off. Terrified beyond measure, he immediately sent another one thousand yuan worth of gifts to Bai Wanwan. This middle-aged man, usually a formidable figure in the business world, was now utterly distraught, his lips only capable of uttering, “Master Bai, save me!”

“Still unwilling to leave? I’m giving you a chance now, but since you refuse to take it, I’ll have no choice but to annihilate you.”

Bai Wanwan’s mind stirred, and in the very next second, the ‘little ghost’ that had been snarling at her suddenly froze, then plummeted directly from Liu Guochang’s neck.

[It’s over?]

[Holy smokes, I knew staying up late would pay off! I actually witnessed a battle between immortals.]

[Seriously, Host, you’re really something, aren’t you?]

“My neck feels… so much lighter.”

Liu Guochang touched the back of his neck, noticing that the chilling, heavy sensation was gone. Even his mood had improved, filled with an inexplicable sense of ease.

“I’ve driven it away from you, but if you continue to wear this jade, it will find its way back to you.”

“I’ll mail you a talisman. Before it arrives, wrap the jade in red cloth and place it in direct sunlight if possible. Once my talisman reaches you, use it to wrap the jade. Afterward, someone will frantically come looking for you.”

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she displayed the freshly drawn talisman before Liu Guochang.

What more could Liu Guochang say at this point? Although Bai Wanwan appeared young, one couldn’t judge a book by its cover. She was undoubtedly a master among masters, possessing true formidable power.

“Oh, and regarding your daughter’s birthday gift, I believe simply buying her a cake and spending quality time with her will make her very happy.”

“Her destiny is quite fortunate. Adding blessed trinkets would only be gilding the lily.”

Hearing Bai Wanwan’s words, Liu Guochang trembled uncontrollably.

“Master Bai, my gratitude knows no bounds! My sincerest thanks!”

Immediately afterward, another one thousand yuan worth of gifts flooded in. The live stream had barely begun, and after the platform’s cut, Bai Wanwan had already earned a revenue of 1,100 yuan.
