Zhou Yi gazed at the intricate patterns of the protective talisman, feeling a surge of complex emotions. With a strained tone, she asked, "Did you just draw this? It can't be a switch, can it?"
Though she posed the question, deep down, she already had her answer.
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you see it with your own eyes? My camera has been fixed on the table the whole time; it hasn't moved."
Zhou Yi looked again at the protective talisman displayed on the screen. It was different from the ones she had drawn since childhood, but that didn’t necessarily mean the streamer’s drawing was fake. Even through the screen, she could feel the powerful energy emanating from the talisman.
This indicated that the other person had mastered a more sophisticated and superior form of talisman than what she had learned as a child. Reflecting on how Ruan Fuxi had drawn it without any preparation, just a swift stroke of her hand, Zhou Yi felt a pang of frustration.
What did that make her own ritual of lighting incense and cleansing her hands before drawing? Did it mean she lacked talent? And despite all that, she often ended up wasting her talismans.
"Is that how you draw talismans? No preparation needed?" Zhou Yi felt as though her innocent heart had taken a heavy blow.
Ruan Fuxi nodded. "It's just something I do casually."
The comments on the screen continued to scroll:
【I don't understand talismans, but doesn't it seem like she drew it too easily?】
【So, is the streamer’s talisman real? That 'steal your home' person should speak up!】
【Ever since the streamer finished drawing the talisman, that 'steal your home' person seems to be in a state of extreme shock. Does this mean the streamer’s talisman is real?】
【Welcome to the live broadcast of a major face-slapping event!】
At that moment, Zhou Yi felt as if the sky had fallen when she heard Ruan Fuxi's words.
"Just something I do casually?"
Did she realize what a significant blow that was to a girl who had studied talismans since childhood? But admitting her mistake was necessary; it was clear she had been narrow-minded.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi said:
On Monday, I sincerely apologized to the streamer, Xi Lili, stating that she is not a fraud!
【Streamer!】
【From now on, no one will doubt our streamer, right? Who wants to be the next one to be proven wrong?】
After finishing the apology, although I felt a blow to my pride and realized that being called a talented successor was nothing compared to being an online streamer, I quickly put on a different face. With enthusiasm and even a hint of flattery in my smile, I said:
"Streamer, I also want to buy a talisman for peace. Is that okay? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t try to learn it."
I thought about how if my exorcism skills were lacking when the time came, having the talisman would greatly ensure my safety.
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow with a smile that was neither fully genuine nor entirely mocking. "Didn’t you say that ten thousand yuan for a talisman is very expensive?"
I switched to a completely different demeanor and declared earnestly, "Not expensive at all! Not at all!"
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This talisman works so well; it should be a bit pricey.
Then I winked at the screen and asked, "Can you sell one to me?"
The audience in the streaming room widened their eyes. Was this really the same person who had confidently claimed the streamer was a fraud?
I thought to myself, “Hey Daoist successor, can you not change your attitude so quickly?”
But then again, if even this Daoist successor who had just insulted her wanted to buy a talisman, they wanted one too!
【Streamer, I also want to buy a talisman! After all, whether you sell one or two, just sell me one!】
【I want one too! I can wait in line! I have my money ready!】
Ruan Fuxi first responded to me: "I can sell it to you and don’t mind if you learn how to draw this talisman. Just contact me through the backend later."
