Ch 115: Is There Really Such a Good Thing? [QT]

After successfully connecting, a young man appeared on screen, sitting in a restaurant. He looked to be in his twenties, was handsome, and wore a white jacket with colorful butterfly designs. The audience was immediately at a loss for words.

【Dominating Tycoon, your… taste is certainly unique.】

【I don’t mean to be harsh, but that’s a bit of an eyesore. Such a handsome face, though.】

【And that yellow bag next to you—it’s so ugly. It doesn’t even have a proper shape, just big and clunky.】

【You guys don’t get it. That bag is one of a kind, globally unique, and worth over ten million yuan!】

【The jacket is haute couture too, something regular rich people can’t even buy. This whole outfit screams obscene wealth—the kind where just mentioning the price would scare you.】

【Wow, this redefines my understanding of the rich. Flashy, but it still doesn’t look good.】

【Those luxury brands aren’t new to releasing ugly items. I don’t get whether this represents status or just fools willing to spend.】

Dominating Tycoon glanced down at his outfit and said, “I just thought the design was interesting. I’ll wear it for a while, and when I don’t like it anymore, I’ll change it. Every runway theme is different anyway.”

【Rich people really live at their leisure. I like it. Dominating Tycoon, do you need a half-brother from another mother? Look at me!】

Dominating Tycoon enjoyed watching livestreams and following online gossip. He wasn’t bothered by the comments and curiously asked Shen Yunxuan, “Master, why was I able to grab your lucky bag? Does it mean I’m in trouble?”

Shen Yunxuan had been observing his face, her brows furrowing more tightly as she studied him.

The audience stopped joking and grew nervous.

【Could it be a terrible omen?】

【It must be. Master Shen has never looked so serious before.】

【No, please! Dominating Tycoon is a good person. I heard he once saw someone begging for help because of a severe illness and not only helped them find a doctor but also paid for their medical expenses. He’s a good man—Master Shen, please help him!】

【Yes, Master Shen, you always say good people are rewarded. He’ll be okay, right?】

Dominating Tycoon chuckled. “Thank you for your concern. But everyone has their fate. If there’s a solution, I’ll work hard for it. If not, I’ll just go with the flow. After all, in the next life, I’ll be a hero again in eighteen years.”

【…If I had such a good mindset, nothing in this world could ever trouble me.】

Shen Yunxuan sent him a private message and said, “This involves your personal matters. Take a look and decide if you want to talk about it on the livestream.”

【What could be so serious that even we, the VIP audience, can’t know?】

【What’s going on, Dominating Tycoon?】

【Tell us! We’ll help you figure it out!】

Dominating Tycoon read the private message, was initially shocked, then rubbed his eyes to read it again. In disbelief, he blurted out, “I’m not my father’s biological son? Seriously?”

Seeing that he had spoken, Shen Yunxuan nodded. “It’s true. You have no blood relation to your current family.”

Dominating Tycoon opened his mouth but took a moment to process. “Earlier, with that girl Xiaoci, you calculated her situation and helped her find her parents. I… I’ll send you my birth details.”

As Dominating Tycoon typed, the livestream exploded with reactions.

【What? Dominating Tycoon isn’t his father’s biological son? Is this a swapped-at-birth drama?】

【Does this mean Dominating Tycoon might have been from a poor family and took someone else’s place as the true heir?】

【Wow, this is so dramatic! Will Dominating Tycoon give up his current status now that he knows?】

【No way he’d give it up. Who could let go of a life of luxury?】

【Come to think of it, Dominating Tycoon doesn’t seem to have a career. He spends his days eating, drinking, playing, and watching livestreams. He’s even boosted a few streamers to fame. He’s basically the most famous top supporter.】

【So it’s all in the genes, huh? A mouse’s child can’t become a dragon no matter how fancy their clothes. With all these resources, he’s still just coasting.】

Shen Yunxuan’s haters despised anyone who gifted her lavishly, so their comments turned increasingly nasty toward Dominating Tycoon.

Shen Yunxuan finished reading his birth details and cleared her throat. “Some people should stop talking. I’ve said before, spreading malicious rumors will bring retribution. When bad luck hits you, don’t blame me. I didn’t ask you to watch my livestream. If you don’t like me, just leave.”

【I’m staying to annoy you—what can you do about it?】

【Mute one, and ten more will show up. Can you mute us all? Our whole group is here, haha!】

【Dominating Tycoon gave you so much, and now you’re exposing him as a fake heir. He’s definitely going to hate you. Who would dare get close to you now?】

Ignoring them, Shen Yunxuan said to Dominating Tycoon, “The birth details you gave me aren’t accurate. Your current father probably doesn’t know your real birthdate, only the year you were born. I can only give a rough estimate. Your biological parents love you very much and have been searching for you all this time.”

Shen Yunxuan had said the same to Xiaoci before reuniting her with her family. Dominating Tycoon suddenly felt nervous and expectant, his emotions a complex mix. “Master, do you know where they are?”

【Dominating Tycoon, are you really going to look for them?】

【Of course he should find his biological parents!】

【But if he finds them, will he acknowledge them? What about his current wealthy dad?】

“Why not just acknowledge both sides? After all, there’s so much emotional connection over the years.”

“You’re dreaming. Why would the rich dad continue acknowledging him? What if the real heir has been suffering out there all this time?”

The audience’s speculation ran wild, with all sorts of guesses. Even Dominating Tycoon couldn’t help but ask, “Is this really some swapped-at-birth drama? Could someone out there be suffering because of me?”

Shen Yunxuan calculated further and shook her head. “No, that’s not the case. However, I can only determine that your biological parents are currently in Beijing. I can’t pinpoint their exact location. One was born in the Year of the Dragon and the other in the Year of the Tiger—maybe that can help you identify them.”

With so little information, it was unlikely Dominating Tycoon would find his biological parents anytime soon. He couldn’t tell whether he felt disappointed or relieved.

At that moment, Shen Yunxuan added, “Strange, I should’ve been able to see more details. It seems like something—or someone—is obscuring the truth.”

Dominating Tycoon’s imagination ran wild. “Could someone be plotting against me? Or maybe against my dad? Uh, I mean, my current dad—did someone harm his real son and use me to deceive him?”

“Wow, Dominating Tycoon, you’re really quick to accept this.”

“Is he missing a screw? Why am I starting to like him now?”

“Do you realize what you’re saying? This could mean losing your inheritance! Your dad might even blame you. Just say Shen Yunxuan got it wrong and disconnect—it’s better if this whole thing doesn’t exist.”

“Yeah, we’ll let you say she got it wrong this time. Just end the call!”

Dominating Tycoon smiled faintly. “Thank you for your concern, but it’s fine. If I’m really not my father’s son, I should leave this family.”

Shen Yunxuan studied his expression for a long moment and then asked, “Do you have your father’s birth details? Send them to me, and I’ll check.”

“Sure, he once mentioned the time he was born. I’ll send it now.” Dominating Tycoon, who had watched many of Shen Yunxuan’s livestreams and trusted her, sent over his father’s date and time of birth.

This time, Shen Yunxuan’s calculations were smooth, with no obstructions. However, the result left her shocked. “Your father’s chart indicates severe conflicts with close relatives. He lost his parents before adulthood, became a widower shortly after marriage, and has no children in his destiny.”

“What? No children? There are six of us siblings!” Dominating Tycoon exclaimed, eyes wide.

“Are you sure they’re his biological children?” Shen Yunxuan asked reflexively.

Dominating Tycoon hesitated before replying, “Well… Father’s wife did pass away early. I always thought we were all illegitimate children.” He quickly added, “Everyone else thinks so too—it’s common knowledge in our circle.”

“Six illegitimate kids? What kind of chaotic family is this?”

“Not surprising for the wealthy. It’s like raising a competition—have more kids and let the strongest one inherit the fortune.”

“But Master Shen just said he has no children in his fate. So are these six kids a result of infidelity, or were they all adopted?”

“Is it possible that he knew about his fate and decided not to remarry, instead adopting several children out of kindness?”

“If that were the case, Master Shen wouldn’t have frowned. I don’t think it’s that simple.”

Shen Yunxuan requested a photo and, combining it with the birth details, performed a detailed calculation. Her expression grew colder as she explained, “Your adoptive father is emotionally detached. After losing his parents at age twelve, he encountered a practitioner who told him about his fate of conflicting with close relatives. Determined to change his destiny, he threw himself into studying, got into the top university, and meticulously planned his path. He pursued and married the wealthiest girl in school, joined his father-in-law’s company upon graduation, and built his career.”

“After his wife’s passing, he portrayed himself as a grieving, devoted husband and vowed never to remarry. This won over his father-in-law, who eventually passed away and left the company to him. That’s how he rose to become a billionaire.”

“Later, when his business began to decline, he adopted six children with the most auspicious fates for his own benefit. He raised them as his biological children, which stabilized his career. Although he couldn’t expand his empire, it was enough to maintain his wealth for a lifetime.”

“So, not only are you and your siblings not his illegitimate children, but you’re also not abandoned orphans he adopted out of kindness. You were deliberately chosen as tools to absorb good fortune for him.”

Dominating Tycoon’s face turned pale. As he reflected on his life, everything Shen Yunxuan revealed seemed to fit.

The audience was equally stunned. Could this really happen?

“This is terrifying! Can practitioners really harm others? Aren’t they supposed to believe in karma and good deeds?”

“Not all practitioners follow the same principles. Some only care about living well in this lifetime, regardless of the consequences. They can definitely harm others.”

“Dominating Tycoon, judging by your expression, was Master Shen right?”

Dominating Tycoon wiped his face. “Actually, I’ve always had doubts. Growing up, the six of us were raised with almost no parental care. Our father was always busy. Even when he wasn’t, he’d play golf with friends or read and drink tea. Whenever we approached him, he’d tell us not to bother him.

I thought that was just his personality—he didn’t value illegitimate children. Later, some of us started working hard to get first place or causing trouble to gain his attention, but it was always the housekeeper or his assistant who dealt with these issues. He never cared, whether we did well or poorly.

Someone just mentioned he’s raising us like a competition. I’ve thought about that too. After we grew up, each of us tried starting businesses or working in the family company. That’s when he became dissatisfied with us, constantly scolding us. We desperately wanted his approval, but his criticism shattered our confidence. No matter how hard we tried, it was never enough for him.

Eventually, I gave up. I figured, why work so hard if it makes me unhappy? I might as well enjoy life. After that, he stopped scolding me—I thought he’d given up on me. I used to feel sad about it, but now…

Master, it wasn’t that he was disappointed in me or had given up. It’s because he didn’t want me to stand out and be found by my biological parents. He didn’t want my fate to benefit me. He just wanted me to remain a ‘blood bag,’ feeding him my luck. Isn’t that right?”

Shen Yunxuan nodded. “Yes, that’s exactly his plan. Your fate is very strong—not only beneficial to you but also to your close relatives. This means your biological parents are likely doing well and may even be in the same social circle. The less you show up, the harder it is for them to find you.”

“My god, this is terrifying.”

“He’s totally manipulating those kids—emotional abuse, gaslighting. If anyone tries to leave, would he lock them up?”

Dominating Tycoon said, “I don’t know if he’d lock us up, but he doesn’t allow us to live abroad. My eldest and second brothers wanted to study overseas before, but he refused. He said our country is the best and forbade us from leaving. We thought it was just excessive patriotism. Even when I watch fashion shows abroad, I have to report to his assistant and return within ten days.”

“I get it now! If you go abroad, you’re too far away to benefit him!”

“So, is this technically trafficking? He deliberately sought out children with beneficial fates—did he kidnap them? Call the police!”

“You’re too naive. Do you think someone that rich would get his hands dirty? I guarantee his adoption paperwork is all perfectly legal. If anyone investigates, he’ll play the good guy who adopted a few kids out of kindness.

“What can we do? Master Shen, please help them! They were forcibly separated from their biological parents and used as luck batteries. This is too tragic!”

Of course, Shen Yunxuan would step in. When she first saw Dominating Tycoon, she frowned because it reminded her of her past. This method was too similar to what she had experienced in her previous life. Unlike this man who raised six children to benefit himself, she had been married into the Xie family and, when unhappy, tried to leave, which led to being imprisoned for over a decade.

She sympathized deeply with Dominating Tycoon and his siblings. Since he had won her lucky bag, she was determined to help.

At that moment, Dominating Tycoon received a phone call. After a brief conversation, he said to Shen Yunxuan, “My eldest brother’s assistant saw me on the livestream. Now, all of them know about this and want me to end the call and meet with them. They’re probably planning to find you for a face-to-face discussion. Is that okay?”

“Of course. You’re all welcome. Combining the fates of you six might reveal even more,” Shen Yunxuan said with a smile. “Don’t worry. I see longevity in your future. No matter what, your life won’t be in danger.”

Dominating Tycoon exhaled in relief and smiled. “As long as there’s no life-or-death issue, nothing else matters. Thank you for today. See you soon!”

He ended the call and quickly sent Shen Yunxuan dozens of Sharks as gifts. A viewer calculated that he had spent over 300,000 yuan in total, leveling up from a newcomer to over level 40. Shen Yunxuan’s livestream became the top-ranked on multiple charts, attracting even more viewers.

However, Shen Yunxuan had completed her three predictions for the day. The third one had been particularly taxing, and she was visibly tired. She said to the audience, “Alright, it’s been a long stream. Let’s chat for a bit, and then I’ll wrap up.”

“No, please don’t end! I love your streams so much. I can’t even sleep without watching them.”

Shen Yunxuan chuckled. “Have you seen my haunted house streams? Watch those, and you definitely won’t sleep.”

As she finished speaking, someone sent a few Sharks and left a comment: “My house is no longer haunted! Thank you, Master Shen, for driving out those three spirits and arranging the feng shui. I’ve been living there for a while now, and it’s amazing!”

“Wow, the haunted house owner is here. You’re so brave to live there yourself!”

“It’s not bravery; it’s faith in Master Shen’s abilities. Personally, I’ve experienced her skills. Not only is my house fine now, but my career has also improved a lot.”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t dare live there, even if I knew it was safe. Those creepy images from before would haunt me every time I thought about it.”

“Good feng shui makes it a lucky house. Practical benefits matter most. There’s no reason to give up a lucky house because of past events. I’m very grateful to Master Shen.”

Some viewers who had followed the haunted house case mentioned that the owner had recently posted several videos. It was true—they had moved in, and the eerie atmosphere was completely gone. Even the lighting inside the house now appeared brighter. Perhaps the spirits truly had been exorcised by Shen Yunxuan.

Some neighbors who live near the infamous haunted house mentioned that they used to walk past it quickly, feeling an eerie chill. Now, however, the house gives off a pleasant vibe, likely due to improved feng shui. Every time they see the owner, they appear radiant, suggesting things have truly improved.

The house, which was notorious online as a haunted property, was completely resolved after just one trial night stay by Shen Yunxuan. This added another solid example of her abilities, convincing even more people of her genuine talent.

Someone quickly asked: “Master Shen, my daughter has exams coming up. Do you have any talismans that could help her? I’d like to buy one.”

Suddenly, many others chimed in about exams. Shen Yunxuan thought for a moment and replied, “Exams? Improving grades through luck isn’t possible, and hoping to guess correctly isn’t realistic either. However, I can make a focus-enhancing incense. When lit nearby, it helps with concentration and mental clarity, making it easier to focus on any task. But remember, both the mind and body need rest—this incense only helps to improve focus and should not be used constantly. Adjust usage based on your physical condition. If you’re interested, I can learn to make it and put it up for sale.”

“I want it! Please make it available!”

“But wait, did you notice? Master Shen said she’ll learn to make it. So you don’t know how yet?”

Shen Yunxuan replied sheepishly, “That’s right, I’ve never made it before. I’ve only read about it in books, so I know the ingredients and process—I just haven’t tried it yet.”

“Got it. The classic ‘I can do it’ approach.”

“Maybe Shen Yunxuan really can. Didn’t Idle Master say she’s exceptionally talented?”

A troll mocked: “You’re willing to buy something she just learned to make? Careful you don’t get poisoned! When you’re older, I’ll sell you health supplements. Seems like there’s no end to the gullible people out there.”

Shen Yunxuan smirked and said, “One last warning, trolls: words have consequences, and karma will come back to you. That’s it for today—I’m logging off to learn how to make incense.”

And just like that, Shen Yunxuan ended the stream. Many viewers were caught off guard, staring at a black screen and blaming the trolls.

“Seriously? Online warriors causing chaos but doing nothing in real life!”

“They’re all cowards. If you have the guts, let’s settle this face-to-face!”

“We were enjoying the stream, and now it’s ruined because of you trolls. Wait for your karma!”

The trolls laughed it off. “Yeah, sure, karma. Let’s see what happens after a couple of comments.”

“You guys are like brainwashed cult followers. Shen Yunxuan? Really? You can’t be serious.”

“She’s digging her own grave. Accusing a billionaire of crimes and badmouthing other practitioners? Let’s see if she even has another stream. Waiting for her to get banned.”

“Exactly. If karma hits anyone, it’ll be her first. Looking forward to the show.”

But there was no drama to watch. Instead, the trolls themselves became the show.

One of them, a man lounging on his couch, sneered as he exited the livestream and checked his rewards. He took a screenshot of the red envelopes he had grabbed and posted it in the troll group chat. “That idiot Shen Yunxuan never expected us to snag all her red envelopes!”

A woman named “Daydreamer” excitedly responded, “We’re on a roll today! Let’s keep it up and drive Shen Yunxuan out of the entertainment industry. She’s so annoying!”

Daydreamer glanced at her desk, where a photo of Shen Yunxuan with a big red X drawn over it sat. Her face twisted with jealousy. Why did someone like Shen Yunxuan, with her looks and figure, get to be so popular while she was stuck like this?

After cursing Shen Yunxuan a few more times, she got up to apply a face mask. Ten minutes later, she removed the mask, looked in the mirror, and let out a bloodcurdling scream. “Ah—my face!”

Her face was covered in dense, red bumps. She was so horrified she nearly fainted. Grabbing her phone, she rushed out of her room. Her roommate, who was eating takeout, saw her panicked expression and instinctively asked, “What happened to you?”

Before finishing her sentence, the roommate caught sight of her swollen, bumpy face, turned pale, and ran to the bathroom to vomit.

Embarrassed and furious, Daydreamer shouted, “What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you ever seen an allergic reaction? Don’t you have any sympathy? Sharing a place with you is the worst luck of my life!”

The roommate, initially about to apologize, was annoyed by Daydreamer’s words. “What’s wrong with me? I was eating, and I wasn’t prepared to see something so disgusting. Would it kill you to wear a mask, knowing how you look?”

Daydreamer fumed, “Who are you calling ugly? Look at yourself! You’re a pancake-faced, beady-eyed freak. You’re the real monster here!”

She stormed out to find a hospital, though this time she remembered to wear a mask. Her roommate, now fuming herself, stood there in shock. After two months of living together, she hadn’t realized how venomous Daydreamer could be. Pancake face? Beady eyes? She had gained a little weight due to medication, but it wasn’t that bad! And she dared to call others ugly when she looked worse?

Angry and fed up, the roommate immediately called some coworkers to help her move out. When they arrived and heard the story, they were outraged and joined in criticizing Daydreamer. One coworker noticed Daydreamer’s room door was left open and, rolling their eyes, decided to shut it to avoid any mess during the move.

As she approached the doorway and glanced inside, she saw a photo of Shen Yunxuan on the desk. The photo had been defaced with chaotic scribbles, and a bright red “X” had been drawn over her face.

She screamed in shock, “What is this?!”

Her coworkers rushed over, picked up the photo, and saw that the back had the words “Shen Yunxuan must die” written on it. The computer screen on the desk displayed a hate group chat for Shen Yunxuan, filled with increasingly vicious comments about her.

“She’s completely insane!”

“This is terrifying. I’m telling the manager.”

They took pictures of the computer screen and the defaced photo and sent them to the manager. The manager, upon seeing the grotesque photo, frowned in disgust. A person like this, so extreme, could become a major problem for the company. The manager immediately instructed HR to follow proper procedures to have “Daydreamer” leave the company as soon as possible. “The company doesn’t need someone so toxic.”

Meanwhile, “Daydreamer” received an email from HR while she was still at the doctor’s office. The doctor had reviewed all her test results and shook his head. “All your results are normal. I can’t determine what caused the condition on your face.”

“It’s the face mask! I used it, and this is what happened!”

The doctor could only offer limited help. “But you said it’s a mask you’ve used many times before. It’s unlikely you’d suddenly develop an allergy. Your tests don’t show any allergic reactions. If you’re still suspicious, you can send the mask to a professional lab for an analysis of its components. For now, I’ll prescribe a topical cream—try it for a couple of days and see if it helps.”

“Useless doctor! You’re completely incompetent! You—”

A passing security guard immediately intervened. “Patient, please keep quiet. There’s no shouting allowed in the hospital. Leave immediately.”

“Fine! I’ll leave. This lousy hospital isn’t worth my time anyway!” Furious, “Daydreamer” stormed out. When she pulled out her phone to call a ride, she saw the termination email from her company and froze in disbelief. She broke down. She still had credit card debt—how was she supposed to pay it off now that she’d lost her job? Why was she so unlucky?

At the same time, the man who had been gloating about grabbing Shen Yunxuan’s red envelope was heading downstairs to take out the trash. Humming a tune, he swung his keychain around carelessly.

Nearby, an elderly man ushered his grandson aside and warned him, “Don’t swing things around in crowded places. You might hit someone.”

The man spat on the ground and sneered, “Did I hit you, old man? Quit acting all high and mighty just because you’re old.”

The elderly man frowned and quickly led his grandson away. From a distance, they could still be heard saying, “Stay away from rude people like that.”

The man snorted and swung his keys even more vigorously. Suddenly, he lost his grip, and the keychain flew out of his hand. It hit a person standing nearby who was holding an expensive vase, shattering it instantly.

“My god! This vase cost me eighty thousand yuan!” the owner cried out in anguish. Pulling out his phone, he pointed at the man and said, “There’s surveillance here. Don’t even think about leaving. You’re paying for this!”

The man’s face turned pale. He didn’t have assets worth eighty thousand yuan—how was he supposed to pay? Why was his luck so terrible?!
