The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 23

"If my mother wants me back, but you won't let me live—then I won't let your son live either!"

A wicked grin stretched across his disfigured face as he lunged straight at Yu Liang. But before he could even get close, a golden light suddenly burst out from the little boy's chest.

The moment it touched the ghost, a sizzling sound rang out—like oil hitting a hot pan.

"ARGHHH—"

The vengeful ghost shrieked, thrashing violently as flames ignited on his body. His already grotesque face twisted even further in agony.

Yu Liang stared blankly at his own chest, then, realizing what had happened, bolted straight for his mommy.

Yu Yuan didn't care that his little hands were still covered in flour—she scooped him up instantly.

And in the very next moment, a beam of white light shot out from Yu Liang's room in the shape of a fox.

A loud chime exploded inside the vengeful ghost's mind, and his first instinct was to flee. But he barely managed two steps before the white light came slashing down like a blade, coiling around him like a living thing.

Countless streaks of white light sliced him apart, piece by piece, until all that remained was a wisp of faint, fading smoke.

Total annihilation.

Yu Liang instinctively tightened his grip around his mother's neck, his eyes lighting up with excitement as he turned to look toward his room.

"Mommy, it's the fox spirit!"

[Whoa!]

The gossip-loving system stared at the pure white fox, its movements elegant, and couldn't help but sigh.

[Such a beautiful fox!]

Kun Yuan and the others sat stiffly on the couch, not daring to move an inch.

Even though they couldn't see the vengeful spirit, they clearly witnessed the golden light bursting from Yu Liang's chest, the white fox dashing out of the room, and the black smoke rising out of nowhere in the air.

"Mom, that was a fox spirit just now!"

Little Yu Liang watched as the white fox-shaped light vanished along with the wisp of green smoke from the room. His big, round eyes sparkled like they were filled with stars.

But in the next second, his smile disappeared. In a panic, he grabbed the safety talisman from his chest. The once red-and-yellow talisman was now completely charred black, its original appearance nowhere to be seen.

"The talisman... turned black."

His tiny, chubby hands cradled the burned talisman, and his amber eyes dimmed as a single tear welled up, barely holding on before finally dropping onto the blackened remains—plop—creating a tiny splash.

The very first gift his mom had ever given him... was gone.

Yu Yuan patted the little guy's round head and withdrew her gaze from the fox statue. "As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. We have more talismans at home. I'll get you a new one later."

The little dumlping nodded gloomily, carefully tucking away the now-blackened talisman.

Off to the side, Xiao Bei's ears perked up, his eyes lighting up. "Master, do you have any extra talismans? We want some too!"

Kun Yuan and Kun Kun snapped out of it. "Yeah, yeah! Master, do you have more?"

We'll take them all!

They had just seen the talisman's power with their own eyes—everyone in the family should have one, just in case!

Yu Yuan hadn't expected to make extra cash from this. She yawned, fighting off sleepiness, and estimated the price. "Yeah, I have some, but not many. 16,000 yuan each. I've got six in total. You want them all?"

"We'll take them all!" Kun Yuan was the first to respond. "Master, we have a big family. Can we order more in advance?"

"No." Yu Yuan rejected the idea without hesitation.

Drawing a talisman meant she had to eat more, and it left her feeling drained and sleepy. She wasn't the hardworking type—unless she was completely broke, she wouldn't put in extra effort.

Kun Yuan looked disappointed. "Oh..." Then, as if suddenly inspired, she asked excitedly, "Then can we at least add you on WeChat?"

Yu Yuan gave the same answer. "If you need something, you can find me in my livestream room. I'll keep doing my daily fortune readings."

"Oh..." Kun Yuan was still feeling down and wanted to argue a little more when she suddenly heard Yu Yuan continue speaking, "But if it's a life-threatening situation like this, you can come find me at home. The fee is the same—99,000 yuan per session."

!!!

Kun Yuan, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly had a gleam in her eyes. Isn't this basically an invitation to stay in touch?!

She immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. "Then we'll be counting on you, Master!"

"Mhm."

Yu Yuan took a few already folded triangular talismans from a small drawer. She put one around her little dumpling's neck, then handed the other six to Kun Yuan, who was sitting closest to her.

"These talismans aren't affected by ordinary water or fire. You don't need to take them off for showers or swimming. If the talisman starts heating up, it means there's something dirty nearby. A single talisman can block three attacks from normal ghosts, but for fierce spirits like the one just now, it can only hold off one attack. Once the talisman's power runs out, it'll turn black—just like the one my son had."

Kun Yuan stared wide-eyed at the small yellow triangle in her hands.

So, this thing wasn't a one-time use item? As long as you didn't run into bad luck, you could wear it for a lifetime?!

Her little brother's so-called "blessed" wooden pendant—whose effectiveness was questionable—had cost three to four hundred thousand yuan. Yet this insanely powerful talisman was only 16,000 yuan? What a steal!

Xiao Bei carefully took one of the small talismans from Kun Yuan and hung it around his own neck, patting it like a treasure.

Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket—it was a message from a classmate.

[Brother Bei, when are you coming back? That punk Sheng Yi from No. 22 High is insisting on setting up a fight with us near the old school campus.]

[That little bastard even said that if you keep avoiding him, it means you're too scared to fight. He called you a coward.]

The person who sent the message was clearly anxious—there was zero sugarcoating.

After reading it, Xiao Bei was fuming.

That old school campus was haunted, and yet Sheng Yi dared to go there?! But now, with the master's talisman on him, there was nothing to fear!

He quickly replied: [I'll be back tomorrow. Tell that idiot Sheng Yi to wash his neck and wait for me! Midnight tomorrow, I'll be at the old campus gates waiting for them!]
