124: Hypnotic charm

It turned out that Li Miaomiao had originally planned to trick Ye Wuhuan, so she had been secretly observing him, thinking about when would be a good time to make her move.

Li Miaomiao saw the two from a distance, constantly smiling mischievously and whispering secretly. It was clear at a glance that when these two got together, no good would come of it.

So Li Miaomiao secretly used Dragon Tiger Mountain's magical arts to surreptitiously eavesdrop on their conversation. Sure enough, she heard them conspiring on how to kill Qin Shou.

Li Miaomiao already knew of Ye Wuhuan's notorious reputation and was aware that he was bad, but she never expected him to be so ruthless, intending to directly kill Qin Shou over something like jealousy.

A shiver ran down Li Miaomiao's spine, and her dislike for Ye Wuhuan and Bai Junchen intensified.

After eavesdropping on their conversation, Li Miaomiao quietly approached Qin Shou.

Qin Shou was being incessantly bothered by a group of merchants and officials with ulterior motives, and was just wondering how to escape when Li Miaomiao suddenly appeared and pulled him aside.

Qin Shou thought to himself, 'Grandmother, you couldn't have come at a better time!'

"Hey, where's the recording you promised? Give it to me quickly!"

Li Miaomiao pulled Qin Shou aside and said irritably.

"Wait a moment."

Qin Shou looked left and right, confirmed that no one was paying attention to him, then took out his phone, clipped a segment of the recording, and sent it directly to Li Miaomiao.

Li Miaomiao received the recording, immediately put on her headphones, and listened carefully.

When she finished listening to the content and confirmed it was explosive enough, Li Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction. She looked at Qin Shou with a smile and said mysteriously, "Hehe, in return for your recording, how about This Young Miss gives you a free gift?"

Qin Shou said indifferently, "What gift? Besides money and magical artifacts, I'm not interested in anything else!"

Li Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Qin Shou and said exasperatedly, "You're such a money-grubber! I'm telling you, this gift I'm giving you is much more important than money and magical artifacts."

"Is that so? There's something more important than money in this world!" Qin Shou looked disbelieving, thinking, 'If there really was such a thing, you wouldn't just give it to me for free!'

"Hehe, never mind, I'm too lazy to keep you guessing. I'll tell you secretly!"

With that, Li Miaomiao giggled and leaned into Qin Shou's ear, recounting in detail the conversation she had just overheard between Bai Junchen and Ye Wuhuan.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou was startled, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He thought, 'Good heavens, do lives mean so little to you rich young masters? It's one thing for Ye Wuhuan to want to kill me, after all, we do have some grievances.'

'But this Bai Junchen, it's only our first meeting today, no past grudges, and just because I stole his thunder, he's already planning to kill me! These wealthy people truly treat human lives like grass!'

Thinking of this, Qin Shou's expression darkened as he glanced at Ye Wuhuan and Bai Junchen in the distance. The two were huddled together, an insidious smile occasionally appearing on their faces, clearly discussing how to deal with him.

"Hehe, how about it? This information of mine is much more valuable than magical artifacts, isn't it?" Li Miaomiao asked with a smile.

Qin Shou nodded solemnly, knowing that Li Miaomiao had helped him greatly this time, otherwise he might have fallen into Ye Wuhuan and Bai Junchen's trap. He couldn't help but say gratefully, "It is indeed very important information. I owe you a favor."

"Hehe, so how are you going to thank me? The magical artifact you gave Ren Jing sister earlier was nice. How about you give me one sometime, and we'll be even?" Li Miaomiao blinked, saying playfully.

"Do you think I'm a rich woman like you? I only have one of those things." Qin Shou looked speechless, thinking, 'Do you really think my family runs a pawn shop? This is an ancient magical artifact.'

"Hmph, no matter what, you owe me a favor, and I'm keeping a record of it." Li Miaomiao pouted unhappily, a look of displeasure on her face.

"By the way, how did you eavesdrop? Can you teach me?" Qin Shou didn't want to continue on that topic with Li Miaomiao. He thought that Li Miaomiao didn't seem to have gotten close to Bai Junchen and Ye Wuhuan, and with so many people around, he was curious how she heard them.

"Hehe, well, it's this." With that, Li Miaomiao actually took out a talisman paper.

"What is this?"

Qin Shou looked puzzled, thinking, 'I asked you what kind of eavesdropping device you used, and you're giving me a talisman paper, what the heck!'

"Hehe, you wouldn't know, would you! This is a talisman developed by my father, and its main purpose is to eavesdrop. The method of use is also very simple. You just need to write down the other person's name, think about their appearance in your mind, and then swallow this talisman paper, and that's it. Of course, the distance can't be too far; it loses its effect beyond a hundred meters."

Li Miaomiao proudly introduced it.

"My goodness, you have to swallow it! This method of use is really a bit hard on the stomach!" Qin Shou couldn't help but complain after hearing it.

"What are you afraid of? This talisman paper is specially made, it melts in your mouth, and it's even chocolate-flavored." Li Miaomiao said with an air of nonchalance.

"How do you have so many strange magical artifacts? That pistol before was also quite outrageous, it's too damn fashionable!" Qin Shou couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hehe, you don't understand. Even we Taoists have to keep up with the times."

Li Miaomiao smiled proudly and said with an arrogant look, "I'm telling you, my father, Real Man Li, is the number one person in Taoist research at Dragon Tiger Mountain. He has absorbed modern scientific thought and developed countless strange gadgets. This eavesdropping talisman is just a small trick."

"Since your father is so amazing, does he have any other powerful talismans?" Qin Shou's interest was piqued upon hearing this, thinking, 'Since a fierce battle is unavoidable today, I might as well prepare more.'

"Powerful effects?"

Li Miaomiao frowned upon hearing this and pondered, resting her chin on her hand.

"I've got it! My father recently developed a hypnosis talisman that can temporarily exert mental control over people. Do you want it?"

"hypnosis talisman? What does it do?" Qin Shou asked with some confusion.

Li Miaomiao proudly explained, "Hehe, this is my father's latest research achievement! This talisman can directly affect a person's mind. Of course, it can't affect people with exceptionally strong mental power, but most people won't have a problem.

This talisman can induce hallucinations in people for a short period through psychological suggestion, similar to the effect of hypnosis in modern psychology. However, because it combines Taoist magical arts, its effect is more than ten times stronger than ordinary hypnosis.

For example, if you suggest to the other person that you are a woman, then before the talisman's effect wears off, the other person will truly believe you are a woman."

"That powerful!"

Qin Shou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and an idea of using someone else to do his dirty work suddenly came to mind.
