Chapter 148: The Accelerated Pixiu

Lin Qianyue was a very popular girl in my original Class C.
Not only because of her sweet looks and enthusiastic personality, but most importantly, she was multi-talented.

I’d heard she’d practiced piano and violin since childhood.
She’d performed at a class party before—I listened, and her skill was quite proficient.

Now Mo Qingyan had pulled out student files—seemingly from the student council—and specifically pointed to Qianyue.
I didn’t know what she was planning.
Bai Yue picked up the file, glanced at it, and nodded.
“No problem. Since I promised you, I’ll handle it properly.”

“Of course I trust Yue’er with something this small.
Just don’t forget to trigger it in front of a lot of people.”
Mo Qingyan said.

“By the way, President, is this really okay?
That new safety consultant has been investigating the school lately.
Do we have to act right now?”
Asayama suddenly asked.

“No issue. As they say, it’s darkest under the lamp.
He’d never expect someone to make a move right after he starts.
Plus, he won’t uncover the truth.
An incident at this timing will erode trust from above.”
Mo Qingyan said confidently.

“So… what are you talking about?
Planning something against Qianyue?”
I finally couldn’t hold back.
I’d already entered, yet Mo Qingyan discussed some conspiracy openly.

“Ah~ Yubing, perfect timing.
Speaking of which, I owe you thanks.
I visited the shop you recommended and bought something good.
Thanks to you, my project made great progress.”
Mo Qingyan said happily.

The shop I recommended? The coffin shop?
She’d gone to the carpenter for an aversion object too?
Thinking of the aversion object, I fumed.
“Senior Sister Mo, it’s all because you messed with the Pixiu carving—I’ve been unlucky! You have to take responsibility!”

“Huh? What’s going on?
I only modified that Pixiu Friday night—it’s been just two days.
How could it take effect so fast?
And absorbing wealth aura causing misfortune?
Did your Pixiu swallow some unclean ominous energy?”
Mo Qingyan asked, bewildered.

I recounted the past two days: discounts while shopping, tenfold compensation from reporting, settlement money from the crash, Dharma artifact gifts from visiting… even using ghost command to transfer wealth.

After hearing it, not just Mo Qingyan—even Asayama and Bai Yue looked utterly shocked.
Mo Qingyan shook her head repeatedly.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Modified just two days ago—how could it earn so much so fast?
If so, anyone with a Pixiu would become a millionaire in a year.
Who’d bother working hard?”

Her words made me realize something was off.
The money came way too quickly.
Even transferring a small portion of wealth aura to Ms. Liu had turned her gambling losses into wins.
It was ridiculous.

“Come to think of it, the day you finished modifying the Pixiu, you immediately snatched a wallet from that freak.
Wasn’t that too fast too?”
Bai Yue added.

“I thought it was just Senior Brother Liang’s method being effective.
Now it does seem too quick.
This situation is a bit like…”
Mo Qingyan suddenly recalled something.

At the same time, inspiration struck me.
I remembered the foul blood the Pixiu coughed up, and the message from Senior Brother Liang that Mo Qingyan had forwarded.

“Like using blood to catalyze the Pixiu’s wealth-absorbing effect?!”
I voiced the guess before Mo Qingyan.
Without prior comparison, I hadn’t realized how fast the wealth gathering was.
Only after her comment did I grasp it.

“Impossible. That requires your blood to catalyze.
I didn’t have your blood that day—how could the Pixiu end up like this?”
Mo Qingyan puzzled over it.

Finally, Bai Yue tapped her shoulder and guessed, “Could it be that during the ritual that night, the Pixiu absorbed some of Sister Xia’s vitality?”

“That… actually, it’s possible.
The modified Pixiu absorbs various auras.
The master bedroom is opposite the study—the Pixiu faced the ritual site directly.
Some vitality being sucked away is normal.
After all, Yubing is the Pixiu’s original owner.”
Mo Qingyan grew convinced of the theory.

“Plus, that complex is so eerie.
Using a Pixiu to gather wealth there—absorbing filthy negative auras and bringing unexpected disasters is possible too.”
