After delivering his opening lines, Bai Qingxu’s expression grew stern. His slender fingers slid straight across the handle of his folding fan, like the prelude to a master blade being unsheathed.
With a flick of his wrist, he opened the fan.
The ghouls and demons painted on the front of the folding fan began to glow with a strange, white light.
“Demons and spirits, obey my command!”
Bai Qingxu shouted, then suddenly realized he was on a live broadcast. He knew he had to keep up the act of being a mystic, otherwise, his true identity might be suspected.
He paused, then immediately recited a mantra he had picked up from encountering fake Taoist priests in the past:
“Supreme star, react without ceasing; drive away evil and bind the spirits, guard my life and protect my body; let wisdom be clear and pure, let my heart and soul be at peace; may my three souls be eternal, and my seven spirits never perish. Quickly, like a law, follow my order!”
A fierce gust of wind erupted from the fan, slapping the group of female ghosts square in the face.
However, the wind did not disrupt the ghosts’ movements in the slightest. Instead, it only provoked their hostility.
The female ghosts froze and stared straight at the fan in Bai Qingxu’s hand. The red light in their eyes grew more intense and sinister.
Yet, from Bai Qingxu’s perspective, these ghosts turning their heads in unison did not bring any sense of oppression. Instead, they looked somewhat obedient.
They were being obedient, waiting for him to exorcise them.
Bai Qingxu could not help but sneer, rotating the folding fan in his hand.
The ghosts suddenly felt that something was wrong. The red light in their eyes flickered incessantly, as if an alarm were blaring.
They finally felt fear. Their pitch-black pupils dilated sharply as they felt their bodies uncontrollably twisting, just like a dirty towel being wrung out with great force.
A sharp, piercing screech erupted from the center of the ghosts.
The group of ghosts struggled violently, but it was all in vain. They could only wail in resentment.
“Get in!”
Bai Qingxu commanded, aiming the ghouls and demons on the fan at the ghosts.
The ghosts seemed to be sucked in; they retreated in a panic, yet they could not resist the immense suction force. In the end, they were like wisps of blue smoke, drawn directly into Bai Qingxu’s folding fan.
Bai Qingxu flicked his wrist and folded the fan, completing the entire movement in one smooth, elegant flow.
The live stream chat went silent.
Hundreds of thousands of people remained stunned.
After a moment, everyone finally reacted.
[What on earth was that?]
[Holy cow, Bai Qingxu is amazing!!!]
[So cool!!!]
[Is this real???]
[No way! Can live broadcasts produce such detailed special effects now?!]
[My worldview has been overturned.]
Bai Qingxu did not know that after he finished catching the ghosts, his name was soaring to the top of the trending topics.
#Secret Realm: Bai Qingxu catches ghosts! (Explosion)#
“Excellent technique.”
He Yanzhou applauded from the side, then pulled out two red banknotes and tucked them into the hood of Bai Qingxu’s sweatshirt.
He had truly managed to support him with both his money and his presence.
Bai Qingxu was in disbelief and froze for a moment.
He had never seen such a cooperative audience member.
Bai Qingxu’s mind went blank for a second before he regained his senses. He hesitantly pulled the red banknotes out of his hoodie and stared straight at the money in his hand.
Suddenly, his eyes curved, sparkling as if filled with stars.
“Thank you!”
To tell the truth, this was the first time Bai Qingxu had received appreciation, and he could not help but feel a bit excited.
He Yanzhou watched him, feeling an uncontrollable itch to reach out and pat his head. However, knowing he could not be that presumptuous, he could only nod coldly in response, suppressing his restless heart.
Don’t be so cute, Bai Qingxu.
[Ahhhhh, I am being sweetened to death! Is he really that doting?]
[It is over. Even as a hater, I am shipping them…]
[Wuwu, my Zhouzhou, I give you my blessing. (Crying)]
[Is my Bai Bai this cute? No wonder He Yanzhou fell for him; who wouldn’t fall for him?]
