Selling talismans

Seeing the situation spiral further out of control, Xiao Yu hurried to intervene.

"All right, stop arguing. We're not holding an auction, either. There are four Heart-Clearing Talismans, one hundred thousand each. They'll protect you for two years. After that, their effects will weaken, then disappear after three years. We'll hold a free draw and leave it to fate. If you're not ready to buy one, you can't enter."

"As for the other three imperfect ones, Miss Zhao, Boss Qi, and Miss Liu, you'll each get one for free. All three will last at least a year and a half, and their effects will also disappear after three years."

"You'll have to wait a month for the next batch. It's not that I'm trying to create artificial scarcity. These talismans really are extremely difficult to make. I can only produce a few each month."

"I'm not planning to get rich or rake in money off these. One hundred thousand, that's final!"

A Lifetime Together: "Master Xiao! I love you to death! So fair, so unbelievably fair! If I weren't already married, even I'd want to marry you and go gay for you! Hahaha!"

Lord Purple: "Handsome Xiao, give me a chance. I want to be your girlfriend! I'll cook for you every day. This big sister's cooking is delicious!"

"Our queen's gone boy-crazy!"

"I'm so jealous!"

"My tears of envy are coming out as drool!"

Yi Shuihan: "Handsome, you really are such a good person. So, how about it? Any interest in dating a Police Beauty?"

"Wow, even the rich, gorgeous Police Beauty is making her move!"

"The princess has made her move! Us ordinary girls don't stand a chance now!"

"Master Xiao is such a catch. All the girls are throwing themselves at him. I'm so jealous!"

"Of course they are! Master Xiao is so freaking amazing that even I like him, and I'm a man! Any girl with a functioning brain would like him, right? The ones who don't are the abnormal ones!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The person above said exactly what I was thinking. Master Xiao, this guy likes you too!"

"Master Xiao says: gay guys, stay away! I'm allergic!"

"LMAO."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiao Yu smiled, unbothered by his Livestream Viewers' jokes. "The draw starts now. One chance per person, limited to Livestream Viewers in the stream who are ready to buy."

One hundred thousand was no small sum, after all.

Although many people knew what Xiao Yu could do and believed in the talismans' effects, they still felt uneasy about spending such a substantial amount.

They inevitably wanted to let someone else buy first while they waited to see the results.

For plenty of people, one hundred thousand represented a year's savings, or even two or three years' worth!

But even so.

More than fifty viewers still entered.

Some viewers in the stream cheered with delight, while others were utterly dejected.

Goddess Luo: "Wow, I won! Hubby, I won again!! Hubby, you really are my destined husband!! I've decided. I'm not marrying anyone but you in this lifetime!"

"Rigged! Boohoo, it's rigged! Why is it Goddess Luo again? She's won three times already!!"

"Girl, you're freaking amazing!!"

Even Xiao Yu hadn't expected her to be so lucky. She had won twice yesterday, and now she had won again today.

A Lifetime Together: "I won too! Thank you to my wife and her lucky little hands! Hahaha, I won!! Thank you, everyone! Thank you, fate! Thank you, Master Xiao!!"

Xiao Momo: "Ohhhh!! Hubby, I won again too! Thanks for rigging it for me, hubby! Love you! Finger heart!"

The third lucky winner was the bright spark who had previously wanted him to divine the college entrance exam questions so she could get into Yanjing University.

She was also the first girl to openly call him hubby during a video call.

Because of her, all the female Livestream Viewers had followed suit and started calling him hubby.

Bandit King: "Hahaha, I never expected to be the fourth winner! Master, I'm on my knees before you! Did you divine that I have bowel cancer and deliberately let me win? Wahahaha, I'm saved! And I'll save so much on treatment! Once I receive your Heart-Clearing Talisman, I'll report on my condition in the group every day!! I'll prove how effective your Heart-Clearing Talismans are!!"

Xiao Yu shook his head with a chuckle. "Brother, I really didn't divine anything. But the fact that you won means we have a connection."

"All right, once I end the stream, I'll contact you privately to arrange payment for the Heart-Clearing Talismans. I'm keeping the last two for my own use, or if anyone has an emergency in the future, they can ask me for one."

"As long as it's to save a life or handle an emergency, it'll be free. But remember, I only have two. They're strictly for emergencies, not for turning a profit!"

"Well said, hubby!!"

"Master Xiao, I love you!!"

"Master Xiao's compassion knows no bounds!!!"

"Master Xiao really is a good person! If anyone dares exploit his kindness for profit, I'll cripple them, even if I have to go to jail!"

"Count me in. We'll team up and cripple them!"

"My blood is pumping!!"

"Compassion without bounds!"

"Get the comments rolling! Send those gifts! Fall into formation!"

"I'm so excited! I've got goosebumps all over. I never thought watching a livestream could get me this fired up!"

"A hidden gem and a god-tier streamer! I came as a passerby, but now I'm a fan!"

"Just waiting for Master Xiao to take the whole world by storm!"

Rockets, Super Rockets, 666s, kisses, and piles of free gifts flooded in.

Everyone was sending gifts.

Even the handful of stingy freeloaders dug out all the gifts they had hoarded for years.

"That's all for the Heart-Clearing Talismans for now. Actually, the fundamental reason I can only make so many is the talisman paper."

"Yesterday, I visited practically every shop in half of Magic City, but I couldn't find any genuine talisman paper. It was all useless, industrially produced paper. In the end, I used a sheet of talisman paper in Miss Zhao Yan's home to divine where to find some, and finally managed to buy the real thing."

"But there were only twenty-five sheets in total, and future production will be pitifully small too. So, Livestream Viewers, if any of you know someone who sells talismans, and you notice their paper looks different from the ordinary stuff sold in supermarkets, contact me so I can identify it. If it's genuine, I'll make some talismans and give them to you for free in return."

"Now, let me introduce today's other star: the Evil-Repelling Talisman!"

"The biggest difference between the Evil-Repelling Talisman and the Heart-Clearing Talisman is that it can suppress evil, ward off demons, avert disaster, and save lives!"

"Here's the simplest example. Say I tell someone's fortune today and find out he'll die tonight in an accident. If he happens to be carrying an Evil-Repelling Talisman, he'll survive with nothing more than a scare, without me needing to intervene."

"Unlike that, the Heart-Clearing Talisman works continuously and passively. You won't notice it while it's working, and you won't notice when it stops working, either."

"But the Evil-Repelling Talisman is the opposite. When it activates, you can clearly feel a mysterious force protecting you."

"It has no expiration date. One talisman can save a life three times. If someone in your family works in a high-risk profession, you can have them carry one! After the third danger, the talisman paper will burn up on its own."

"There are fifteen in total. I'm keeping two for myself, and I won't sell the two imperfect ones for now. I'll give them to people fate brings my way later. The other eleven Evil-Repelling Talismans are one hundred thousand each."

He had barely finished speaking.

Xiao Yu was just about to select the lucky recipients through another free draw, as he had before.

Then the screen flickered, and his dashboard informed him that his account had been suspended for thirty days!

The reason was promoting superstition and fraud!

With Xiao Yu's stream suddenly cut off, the Livestream Viewers quickly realized his account had been banned.

An uproar erupted at once, and everyone began cursing the platform!

They had been having such an exciting, satisfying time watching, only for this to happen out of nowhere. Naturally, the curses came pouring out!
