"Okay, I understand."
"By the way, Sister Zhao, I have one more thing to ask you," Wu Jiaxin said with some curiosity.
"Ask away."
"Well, why is it that out of the three fans you drew, they all encountered bad things? Why wasn't there a single good one?" Wu Jiaxin asked.
"This could also be a form of luck," Zhao Yan mused.
She couldn't quite explain it herself.
She checked the gains from this live stream.
The fan count had now risen to 120,000, an increase of 20,000 followers.
These were all active fans, not bots.
Although there were only 120,000 fans, their engagement was very high.
Her private messages were all at 999+, making it impossible to read them all.
"Sister Zhao, live streaming is indeed easier than earning money out there," Wu Jiaxin said, preparing to edit the highlights of the stream and post them on various platforms to gain more followers.
"But I prefer something more fulfilling. I'll do live streams occasionally. If I do fortune-telling too often, I might really incur divine punishment."
"What if one day I'm struck by lightning while using the toilet? That would be a truly shitty end."
Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Wu Jiaxin thought she was joking.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Yan opened her bag, reached in, and felt around for a few moments before sighing, "I'm running low on talismans. I'll have to temporarily close down my services for the next few days. I need to focus on drawing talismans."
Once the number of talismans in her bag dropped below ten, she easily lost her sense of security.
Wu Jiaxin said, "Okay, Sister Zhao. If I have nothing to do these few days, I'll head back to school. I need to work on my graduation thesis."
"Mm, no problem."
Xijiang University, Girls' Dormitory.
Wang Qinqin pulled the covers over herself, feeling unsafe. She took down the broom and placed the stick under her pillow.
She was the "Crayon Xin Xin" who had connected with Zhao Yan two days ago.
For the sake of her own life, she had to be cautious.
For the past two days, she had simply attended classes, eaten, and slept.
She dared not disobey Zhao Yan's words.
Thinking about tonight's events, Wang Qinqin felt conflicted.
She opened the mosquito net and poked her head down to look at the bunk below.
Her lower bunk was occupied by her classmate, Li Mulan.
"Lanlan, I have something to do tonight and can't accompany you to the party."
Li Mulan, who was watching funny videos, froze mid-laugh upon hearing Wang Qinqin. She placed her phone on the bed. "Qinqin, what's wrong with you!"
"You promised me on Wednesday that you'd come with me to the party on Sunday. Why are you backing out now?"
"I've already agreed with Boss Lin and the others. Our university isn't exactly top-tier, so meeting more bosses will be helpful for our future job searches. Expanding our network is very necessary."
"You haven't worked yet, so you don't know how difficult the job market is. I invited you because you're my good sister. This is a great opportunity."
Wang Qinqin scratched the back of her head, looking conflicted. "But, the master said I'm facing a blood disaster recently, so I need to stay in a safe place. I'm sorry, Lanlan."
Li Mulan rolled her eyes and sneered, "What a load of crap, a blood disaster. What era are we in? You still believe what those masters say."
"Those masters are just trying to scam you out of your money. Don't fall for it. I've already bought you an outfit. Look how pretty this one is."
Wang Qinqin looked at the clothes in Li Mulan's hand and shook her head. "This one you bought shows too much. Your back and shoulders are exposed."
"Where is it exposed?" Li Mulan climbed to the upper bunk with the clothes and held them up against Wang Qinqin. "See? It's so sexy."
Wang Qinqin pushed Li Mulan's hand away. "I'm not going, Lanlan. How about I accompany you in a few months?"
"Go on, please go with me."
Seeing that Wang Qinqin was unmoved, Li Mulan's face immediately turned cold.
"You're really not going?"
"Mm, I'm not going," Wang Qinqin shook her head.
Li Mulan's face fell. She crossed her arms. "You're unbelievable, Wang Qinqin. I've already promised those bosses. Now you say you won't go, and you're deliberately embarrassing me?"
"You'd rather believe some so-called master than your good friend? You believe everything they say, but you're already in your second year of university."
"Just go, okay?"
Wang Qinqin still shook her head. "I really can't go."
Li Mulan said indignantly, gathering her clothes. "Whether you go or not, it doesn't matter. It's not like I'm begging you."
"If you don't go, plenty of others will."
After packing, she slammed the dormitory door shut.
"She's not some so-called master, she's a real master!" Wang Qinqin shouted at the door.
Besides, she willingly paid the money. She was never asked to pay anything.
"I don't need a friend like this. Will I lose a limb if you're not there?"
Wang Qinqin pouted and mumbled, picking up some snacks.
When she told her life was in danger, she was still being asked to go, and to wear something so low-cut and backless.
"Forget it, I'm going to sleep," Wang Qinqin said.
Li Mulan felt very annoyed with Wang Qinqin but tried to maintain a smile as she accompanied the bosses.
At the same time, she was selecting her target. Fortunately, tonight's target was good.
He was a twenty-eight-year-old young master, commonly known as Young Boss Zhang.
Li Mulan looked at her WeChat and couldn't help but smile. She picked up her phone and started typing.
"I'm so sorry, Young Boss Zhang. I'm not available tomorrow. If I were available, would you like me to let you know on WeChat?"
She wouldn't be easily swayed into meeting. She had to play hard to get.
