Chapter 17 part 1
“WeChat payment received, eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan.”
Jin Minggui lived up to his surname; whatever amount Luo Wenshu stated, he scanned and paid without a single extra question or attempt to haggle.
After paying, he stood aside, not rushing to fish, but instead savoring the feeling he had just experienced.
After a while, he suddenly sighed, “It’s a pity I couldn’t record a video…”
Although he hadn’t caught the fish with his own skills, the body casting the line and reeling it in was his, right? Others wouldn’t know the inside story.
If he posted that huge fish weighing dozens of catties on his WeChat Moments, accompanied by a video of him catching it, he, Jin Minggui, would be the brightest star in his circle for a long time to come!
Beside him, Old Wu was so jealous his eyes were practically spitting fire, cursing indignantly, “Don’t be greedy!”
At this moment, Luo Xingyu, who had just collected the money, whispered, “I recorded it.”
Seeing Jin Minggui’s unresponsive look, he repeated, “I started recording from the moment you began fishing.”
Then soon, Luo Xingyu received another transfer, a thank-you gift from Jin Mingguiā
“WeChat payment received, six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan.”
This was the first huge sum of money Luo Xingyu had earned. His original intention was simply to record the video to study the differences between a possessed person and their usual self on camera.
By the time they returned home, it was already past ten, nearing eleven o’clock at night.
Luo Xingyu counted the numbers in his WeChat wallet, feeling a sense of unreality.
A total of 149,856 yuan!
In his five years of life, this was the first time he had seen such a large sum of money!
Although he hadn’t earned it himself, it was lying right there in his phone!
“Mom…” Luo Xingyu looked up at Luo Wenshu, pointing his small finger at the phone screen, “I’ll give the money to you…”
He was just a five-year-old child, but being much smarter than his peers, he had a concept of numbers and felt a bit uneasy.
In the circle he lived in, among everyone he knew, no family would let a child hold such a large sum of money.
“No need.” Luo Wenshu was indifferent in both expression and tone. “You keep it. Not just this, but all future money will be kept by you. I don’t touch worldly wealth.”
In her original world, ever since Luo Mingqi brought her into the Xuanmen sect, Luo Wenshu’s daily needsāfood, clothing, shelter, and transportationāhad always been managed by dedicated personnel.
When she first started cultivating, she would follow the disciples of the sect to deal with some low-level demons and ghosts.
As time passed and her cultivation improved, those trivial matters no longer required Luo Wenshu’s intervention. Her opponents became vengeful ghosts of the highest order.
At first, those entities dismissed the little girl whose frame hadn’t even fully developed, thinking they could crush her into meat paste with a single slap.
But soon, they witnessed just how terrifying the once-in-a-millennium genius of the Xuanmen sect truly was.
Young as she was, her cultivation was unfathomable, her actions decisive and ruthless.
Even vengeful ghosts couldn’t last long against her.
There was once an earthbound spirit who, relying on his special hiding place, hid inside like a turtle in its shell, refusing to come out, thinking Luo Wenshu could do nothing to him.
Then very quickly, he realized his mistake.
The originally clear night sky suddenly piled up with dark clouds, blocking out every sliver of moonlight. Gale-force winds rose abruptly, bending great trees.
A bolt of lightning tore through the night sky.
Rumbleā
Thunder resounded through heaven and earth.
Luo Wenshu stood in place. Beneath her feet was a temporarily arranged array, with spiritual energy surging inside and out, finally converging into a single stream that shot straight into the sky.
Immediately, rolling heavenly thunder descended.
That night, dark clouds obscured the moon, not dispersing until dawn.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, giving that piece of land a thorough cleansing.
That night, the nearby residents didn’t sleep either, borrowing the light of the lightning to gaze in that direction from afar.
Amidst the rumbling thunder, there seemed to be countless mournful screams.
Luo Wenshu became famous in a single battle. Thereafter, within a thousand miles of the Xuanmen sect’s residence, demons and evil spirits dared not spawn.
People constantly came attracted by her fame, feeling the peace and tranquility of the land beneath their feet, and thus settled there.
Over time, the surrounding area developed into a bustling and lively metropolis, named Xuanjing.
…
In short, Luo Wenshu always had someone by her side to take care of her daily needs and manage mundane affairs.
Now that she had transmigrated to this world, the original owner of the body was just an ordinary person, with her son as her only remaining relative.
Luo Wenshu couldn’t be bothered to find someone of unknown background to handle these things. Although Luo Xingyu was young, he was very smart, and with society being more developed now, as long as there was money, most things would become simple.
So she decided to leave these matters to Luo Xingyu.
Especially money, which was most prone to creating karmic ties.
Luo Wenshu had hardly touched it before, and given the strange nature of this world revealed so far, she would avoid touching it if she could.
“But I’m afraid of losing it…” Luo Xingyu didn’t know Luo Wenshu’s inner thoughts. He simply felt pressured, worrying about what would happen if he accidentally lost it.
“It won’t be lost,” Luo Wenshu said. “If it really is lost, it must be wealth dispelling disaster.”
She spoke with such certainty that Luo Xingyu’s heart instantly settled. He nodded and said seriously, “I will take good care of it and won’t spend it recklessly!”
Luo Wenshu smiled. “Earning money is meant for spending. No need to save.”
It was already very late. After the mother and son simply washed up, they lay down to rest.
Early the next morning, Luo Wenshu received a call from Li Yufen, saying that Pengpeng could be discharged today. She asked Luo Wenshu not to cook dinner but to come over to eat, as Grandfather Li would personally cook.
Li Yufen’s father, Li Feng, was a master chef. He used to be the head chef at the best restaurant in Chunshan City until he retired, after which he was hired back by the owner as a consultant with a heavy salary.
As Grandfather Li got older, he rarely cooked, at most stir-frying one or two home-style dishes. But even then, the taste was far beyond what outside restaurants could compare to.
This time, with Pengpeng being discharged and inviting Luo Wenshu over for dinner, out of respect for their savior, the old man personally cooking meant there would inevitably be a sumptuous feast.
Although Luo Wenshu wasn’t someone who particularly indulged in food, who would refuse delicious food?
So she accepted Li Yufen’s invitation over the phone. After that, she and Luo Xingyu had a simple breakfast, and for lunch, they only ate a little to stave off hunger.
Fang Peng returned home around two in the afternoon, and soon after, the whole family came downstairs to invite Luo Wenshu.
Arriving at the Fang home, the coffee table was filled with food and drinks.
Li Yufen asked Luo Wenshu what kind of milk tea she liked, intending to have Fang Dahao drive to buy some.
“Sister Yufen, no need for the trouble,” Luo Wenshu waved her hand. “Tea is fine for me.”
Hearing this, Grandfather Fang’s eyes lit up instantly. “Just right, I have a treasured tea cake. Little Luo, you wait!”
Luo Xingyu, who came along, was frightened by this fanfare and the enthusiasm of the Fang family.
As a child, besides eating and drinking, he couldn’t get a word in, so he went straight to sit next to Pengpeng and asked in a whisper, “Pengpeng, are you feeling better?”
Having stayed in the hospital for a few days, Fang Peng’s face was still a bit pale, but compared to the night Li Yufen carried him out of the old freezer, he was infinitely better.
“Mn.” Pengpeng nodded, his voice a bit light.
The little water ghost in the pink dress had left a huge psychological shadow on him.
Although his parents had been taking care of him in the hospital for the past few days, and other elders took turns visiting, dispelling much of his fear, a shadow still lingered deep in his heart.
But regardless, returning to his familiar home and seeing his playmate made Pengpeng very happy.
He invited Luo Xingyu to his toy room to play together.
The Fang family was also very happy to see this scene.
It was a scene where both guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
In the afternoon, Li Feng, wearing a pink floral apron and busy in the kitchen, suddenly had his phone ring.
He asked Li Yufen to answer it. Seeing the caller IDāMr. Xu’s Grandsonāshe froze for a moment.
“Who is it?” Li Feng asked loudly from the kitchen.
“Dad, you busy yourself first, I’ll tell you after I take it.” After speaking, Li Yufen answered the call.
Over the phone, the young man’s voice was gentle and polite, simply stating his purpose.
Li Yufen soon returned after the call.
