Chapter 719 - 717: Inherited Mystic Charlatan 42
Ah Chen took out a stack of uncut Yellow Paper and continued with her craft.
She decided not to restock her online shop. If people wanted to buy, they could find it elsewhere.
Even though they’re ordinary talismans, being infused with a bit of her aura, they could actually provide some minor protection against evil, though most people would probably never need it.
A week later, Luo Yun sent a large red envelope to Ah Chen.
Luo Yun: Boss Feng, thanks to your blessing, I’ve been selected as a volunteer for the White Mountain Sect. I’m preparing to head there the day after tomorrow.
Feng Chen: Congratulations.
When Luo Yun arrived at the White Mountain Sect, he sent a message to Ah Chen, along with a photo of himself with Ge Yu standing beside him. The young Mystic Master was as serious as ever, but his clenched fingers indicated a bit of nervousness about the photo.
Another month passed, and Luo Yun sent another message to Ah Chen.
Luo Yun: Boss Feng, I’ve got some good news for you. Do you know what it is? Want to take a guess? Don’t cheat by divining it.
Ah Chen smiled slightly and, without much thought, replied: You’ve been accepted into the White Mountain Sect, right?
Luo Yun: ???
Luo Yun: How did you guess so quickly?
Ah Chen’s smile didn’t falter as she continued messaging: With your talent, it was expected. You’re a born Divination Master.
Luo Yun was left speechless and shared with his senior brothers and sisters, exclaiming how Boss Feng sees through everyone as if nothing ever fazes her.
The senior brothers and sisters nodded in agreement. Even the most skilled elders of their sect couldn’t see through Boss Feng, affirming her remarkable abilities.
Since joining the White Mountain Sect, Luo Yun frequently shared interesting stories with Ah Chen.
Ah Chen, in turn, made countless Calming Talismans and arranged for them to be shipped out.
During a livestream, when viewers asked why her shop still had no stock, she smiled and said, "There were too many previous orders. There are only two of us working, and since it’s well-known that I’m the one making the Calming Talismans, naturally, they can’t be factory-made, right?"
[Certainly not needed.]
[Buying this, isn’t it all about it being personally made by Boss Feng?]
[Even if it’s just for good luck, factory-made ones and those made by Boss Feng are different.]
[If there’s no stock, there’s no stock. Some people were really harsh before, not sure why they rushed to get useless Calming Talismans.]
[Some people say it’s useless, but grabbed it faster than anyone.]
Seeing the topic shift, Ah Chen was satisfied.
Restocking is out of the question, and promoting factory products is impossible, too.
She’ll merely offer some light assistance and help viewers solve minor issues.
Mostly, there’s nothing strange to encounter, and most issues can be resolved psychologically. Ah Chen has fully mastered the Commissioner’s expertise, making it not too difficult.
There was a hiccup, though, when someone put Ah Chen on trending, accusing her of ignoring people in distress.
Netizens clicked to see that this person’s family had encountered a bizarre incident, with someone unconscious. Remembering Boss Feng, he tried to message her but found he was blocked.
Later, he borrowed a phone from someone nearby to no avail, growing more anxious.
The distance to Ah Chen’s place was too great, making a visit impossible, and his family didn’t want to wait. Thus, they recalled the masters from a previous livestream to see who could help.
He naturally wanted to reach out to people like Ge Yu and Fu Yingshu, but neither had an account or were active online, making contact impossible.
Ultimately, he found Lin Xixi. Though Xixi had a kind heart, she couldn’t solve the issue and reached out to Fu Yingshu.
Finally, Fu Yingshu resolved the matter. Deborah was also present at the time; she went with him since she was with Fu Yingshu.
The person who criticized Ah Chen spoke of his family’s peril while condemning her, trying to rally more people to attack her.
Before Ah Chen could respond, 997 had already brought a previous warning to the top of the trends.
It helped netizens understand that this person had sent many fabricated messages before, ignoring Boss Feng’s warnings, which led to the blacklist.
Rumor had it there was another hiccup when this individual pleaded poverty to Fu Yingshu, expressing his sorry plight and paid less than agreed.
Fu Yingshu and the others didn’t take more, simply leaving. But those in the know realized this person would regret it down the line.
[Host, such people deserve to be taught a lesson, thinking they can morally coerce you, as if you’re easy to bully.]
Ah Chen wouldn’t be coerced. If they want to curse, let them curse. The conflict targets her purely because she’s active online.
However, sometimes her temper isn’t as accommodating.
She randomly grabbed a piece of Yellow Paper and drew a talisman using vermillion. As the talisman was completed, a glimmer flashed across it.
Pinching the talisman between her fingers, she snapped a picture on her phone and posted it with a caption: Rebound Talisman, people who curse me without reason, beware of sores on your mouth, mind your words.
After posting, Ah Chen infused the talisman into herself, the drawing becoming starlit.
Many people sided with Ah Chen, with the majority being rational, and current online sentiments no longer favored martyrdom.
Some people disparaged merely to ride the wave, not due to any genuine hatred of Ah Chen.
Initially, those angry on Ah Chen’s behalf didn’t see her post as a joke.
Perhaps believing in Ah Chen’s abilities, many who had cursed quickly deleted their comments, feeling a twinge of fear.
Some disbelieved, but the next day found sores on their mouths.
Those who refrained from further cursing broke into a cold sweat.
If Boss Feng wanted to take them down silently, they’d never know what hit them.
"Boss Feng is unfathomable," Fu Yingshu said with a tinge of dread in his eyes. Mystic Masters have boundless methods, but none as powerful as Feng Chen’s.
Deborah added, "Boss Feng is not only mysterious but powerful, it’s best not to provoke her, and she’s not petty. Otherwise, those who cursed her would meet worse fates. She could quietly mete out harsher punishments without saying a word. Now that she has said it, she’s giving ordinary people a chance."
"Hopefully, these people have learned their lesson."
"If it had been someone else, they wouldn’t know how they ended up."
Fu Yingshu nodded in agreement, "Earlier, my junior sister had some conflict with her, apologized, and she didn’t bother about it further, so it seems she’s moved on."
"That appears to be the case," Deborah replied, "But Miss Lin seems a little uneasy about our relationship."
"Given past events, my junior sister might feel awkward. Regarding anything from the past life, it’s not your fault, nor hers. It’s just the situation is a bit awkward for the moment," Fu Yingshu explained.
He didn’t think his junior sister felt anything for him; back at Wen’s Castle, he noticed his junior had feelings for Wen Song, but didn’t anticipate things unfolding this way.
Just as he hadn’t anticipated that after spending time with Deborah in private, he’d find they had much in common.
Deborah sighed, thinking it could only be as it was, then continued, "I wonder if your father can accept someone like me."
