As Lin Wan turned to leave, recalling Lin Wan's impressive earlier actions, Wang Gaofei squinted and suddenly thought of something.
He rushed forward and blocked Lin Wan once more, his expression full of curiosity.
“Um, given my situation, can you help me?”
“I’m sorry about earlier! I apologize!” Wang Gaofei said, giving a deep bow with a very sincere expression.
Although he could be a bit mixed up, Wang Gaofei had learned from his father's teachings that one should never offend those who are impressive.
Thus, after Lin Wan showed a bit of skill, Wang Gaofei straightforwardly chose to kneel.
Just then, a soft, sweet voice suddenly reached Lin Wan's ear.
Upon hearing it, Lin Wan, who was about to refuse, paused for a moment and then nodded, saying, “Alright, you lead the way.”
“Lead the way? Lead where?”
Facing Wang Gaofei's puzzled look, Lin Wan patiently explained,
“Your recent misfortune and physical weakness are due to lingering death energy around you, which is incredibly cold and likely brought back from a grave. If I’m not mistaken, has your family recently added any new decorations?”
Watching Wang Gaofei nod repeatedly like a chick pecking at grains, Lin Wan continued,
“Once a living person comes into contact with death energy, problems will arise to varying degrees. If that decoration is in your home, your family must also be affected by the death energy. I’ll go to your house and take care of everything, preventing any future issues.”
“Okay, no problem! Just a moment, I’ll call the driver to come pick us up!” Wang Gaofei replied happily.
Turning away to make the call, Wang Gaofei’s foolishly sweet expression quickly faded.
Just as eggs shouldn’t all be put in one basket, he wouldn’t place all his hopes on Lin Wan.
He knew his father had already hired two Taoist priests to deal with the issue, but they didn’t seem very reliable and hadn’t come yet. Moreover…
Wang Gaofei touched his colorful hair dyed impulsively with his friends and thought uncertainly that if this “master” he found could solve the problem, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting beaten for dyeing his hair anymore.
After instructing the driver to hurry over, Wang Gaofei turned back toward Lin Wan.
He had a feeling that this boy, who looked like a middle school student, would bring him great surprises.
While Wang Gaofei was on the phone, Lin Wan stood quietly under the curious and probing gazes of the stylish group, maintaining a calm expression.
Even just standing there, he exuded an aura of confidence and strength…
Observing the unruffled Lin Wan under their scrutiny, the younger members of the stylish group recalled Lin Wan's prescient push earlier, their gazes filled with a hint of reverence.
Meanwhile, Lin Wan, who appeared “silent and uncommunicative” to everyone, was quite active in his thoughts.
“Han Ning... Han Ning?”
Lin Wan cautiously called out a few times at the place where Han Ning was sleeping. After confirming that there was indeed no response from Han Ning, a trace of joy appeared between his brows.
Clearing his throat gently, Lin Wan's gaze remained fixed on the sleeping Han Ning as he tentatively whispered, “Tuan Tuan?”
“Ji!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a response immediately rang out in his consciousness. The voice was soft and sweet, unmistakably the same voice Lin Wan had heard when he was about to refuse Wang Gaofei.
Moments later, a palm-sized white fluffball appeared in Lin Wan’s sight.
It cautiously poked its head out from Lin Wan's space, cautiously glancing at the sleeping Han Ning. After confirming that there was no danger, the entire fluffball excitedly shook and pounced toward Lin Wan in his consciousness.
“Ji!!!”
The fluffball's voice was filled with excitement and grievance. After successfully landing in Lin Wan's embrace, the fluffy white ball collapsed into a pancake of fluff, rubbing vigorously against Lin Wan, its attitude incredibly close and clingy.
Seeing that Tuan Tuan had already nestled in his arms and Han Ning still showed no reaction, Lin Wan finally let out a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.
After indulging in a few affectionate rubs on the fluffy ball, Lin Wan buried his face into Tuan Tuan's soft belly and, feeling blissful, took a few deep breaths before sighing, “Tuan Tuan, Daddy misses you so much!”
When Han Ning was still awake, she had been very possessive, not allowing him to approach any spirit pets in his space. The whole cat had an attitude that suggested she wanted to monopolize him completely.
Although Lin Wan also felt sad about not being able to pet his other spirit pets, his greatest love remained Han Ning.
Thus, he had no choice but to give up the others and dote exclusively on Han Ning, to the point that he had almost forgotten about the other spirit pets in his space.
Only just now, when Tuan Tuan suddenly spoke up in his consciousness, did Lin Wan remember the existence of his other spirit pets.
The most important thing was that now Han Ning had completely sealed herself off and fallen into a deep sleep, unable to perceive the existence of external things. This meant—
He could pet his other spirit pets!
“Ji~”
Seeing Lin Wan still in a daze, Tuan Tuan, nestled in his arms, couldn't help but let out a sweet, soft call, the sound wavering with delightful sweetness.
“Huh? You said you want to eat the dead aura from that person outside?!”
After hearing the fluffball's request, Lin Wan was taken aback for a moment, then said with a hint of worry, “Little one, are you sure you can eat that? The dirty stuff from outside could give you a stomach ache. Isn’t the nutritional meal I prepared for you guys tastier?”
Hearing the words "nutritional meal," the entire white fluffball couldn't help but shudder slightly. In a place where Lin Wan couldn't see, the fluffball's expression was filled with near-overflowing despair and disdain.
“Ji...”
Hearing the soft whine from the fluffball in his arms and feeling the long-lost fluffy sensation, Lin Wan, like a foolish king bewitched by beauty, quickly nodded in agreement.
“Alright, Tuan Tuan, you wait here, Daddy will go get you some snacks!”
After giving the soft fluffball another affectionate rub, Lin Wan, rejuvenated, withdrew his attention from his consciousness and began searching around for Wang Gaofei's figure.
Turning his head, Lin Wan found that Wang Gaofei was standing right beside him.
Seeing Lin Wan looking over, Wang Gaofei thought he was becoming impatient, so he smiled and said, “Please wait a moment, the car will arrive soon.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Wan touched his nose and, under Wang Gaofei's puzzled gaze, flashed him a beautiful smile.
“Well, since we’re just waiting, how about I help you clear the dead aura from your body first?”

“Mm...”
From an inconspicuous street corner came a low, hoarse moan.
A delicate white finger gently rested on Wang Gaofei's forehead, and the chilling energy that had been hidden within him was gradually drawn out, warmth and strength returning to his body. Wang Gaofei involuntarily let out a sound of comfort.
Feeling Lin Wan's warm finger leave his forehead, Wang Gaofei reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see Lin Wan’s face filled with disdain and the curious expressions of his numerous little brothers.
“Boss, how do you feel? Is it really comfortable?”
“It feels amazing! ...Wait, you all need to show some respect for the master!”
With the dead aura drawn out, Wang Gaofei felt as if he had been reborn, now completely convinced of Lin Wan's abilities.
He flashed Lin Wan a brilliant smile, then, seeing the luxury car approaching them, his eyes lit up, and he tossed his colorful cockatoo hair, excitedly saying, “Master, the car is here!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan, who had been happily rubbing Tuan Tuan in his consciousness, came back to his senses, nodded graciously, and sat in the car amidst the joyful “ji ji” sounds from his fluffy companion.

Meanwhile, after much effort and a lot of words, Xia Wenzhuo and Xu Shan finally bought the small food cart from the couple selling buns and, under the curious stares of the onlookers, pushed the cart towards the address given by Wang Youqian.
Forcing themselves to ignore the strange gazes from the passersby, Xia Wenzhuo's eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
“Sis, how do you think such a perfect wealth gathering array came into the possession of those ordinary couples?”
“Perhaps they accidentally formed a good relationship with a great power. Fate is mysterious; you never know.”
Feeling the vibration at her leg, Xu Shan took a glance at her phone in her pocket, then frowned and said to Xia Wenzhuo, “Let’s move faster. Uncle Xu said the employer is getting a bit unhappy from waiting too long.”
“Let’s run over!”
Xu Shan took out two speed-up talismans, handing one to Xia Wenzhuo as she instructed him with concern.
“It's not free, remember to give me the money after it’s done.”
“Don’t worry, sis, I understand the rules.”
With the difficulty of making talismans, everyone keeps their extra ones for themselves, rarely selling them.
Xia Wenzhuo couldn't remember the last time he used a talisman. Right now, he took the swift talisman that Xu Shan handed him, his fingers trembling with excitement.
“Let’s go!”
After applying the swift talisman, Xu Shan and Xia Wenzhuo pushed the small food cart, sprinting toward the Wang family mansion at a speed akin to a hundred-meter dash, shocking the onlookers around them.
Behind them, the stunned pedestrians were left in disbelief.
“Whoa! How are those two running so fast? Are they stealing the cart?!”
“Society is declining, and people have lost their morals! Thieves have sunk so low that they steal food carts now! Their conscience is truly rotten!”
