Qin Yunie's excitement upon hearing this was self-evident.
They also realized that the talismans Old Lin brought were really good.
Although she possessed the jade pendant given to her by the King of Hell, he was extremely busy, and she couldn't very well ask him for help; self-preservation was the best option.
Sister Meng really managed to get her something amazing today.
Qin Yune looked at Old Lin expectantly, "Uncle Lin, I'd like to buy some of those two types you just mentioned, and I'd also like two defensive ones, is that okay?"
When Old Lin heard her question, he looked over and saw that Qin Yune's face still held a hint of excitement. He snorted smugly, knowing that nothing he produced was of poor quality.
Qin Yunie bought this talisman, and Lao Lin named it the Talisman King.
He drew so many times, and only managed to draw nine pictures successfully, but one of them was tricked away by Meng Po.
"Okay, I'll give you two of each, that'll be 1.5 million in total." Old Lin nodded and then took out several talismans from the counter.
Qin Yunie paid for the talisman she bought and put it away, only to find that more than half of the money in her savings account was already gone.
After buying the talisman, Meng Po got up and said goodbye to Lao Lin, "We're leaving now; we still need to take her to other shops."
Old Lin quickly waved his hand, "Hurry up and go, don't come again next time. If you come a few more times, my store's prized possession will be completely gone."
Meng Po pouted, "Don't be so stingy. You drew these to sell them, didn't you? It doesn't matter who buys them."
Old Lin sneered, "Every time you come, you swindle me out of a precious talisman! Ask them who has ever bought one of these talismans?"
Meng Po felt a little guilty, but after her guilt subsided, she said confidently, "It's not like I didn't pay. Besides, given our relationship, what's wrong with giving me one?"
Faced with their confrontation, Qin Yunie didn't dare to utter a single word.
Old Lin didn't even turn around and sat back in his previous seat, clearly indicating that he wanted to see the guest out.
Meng Po was even more decisive, pulling Qin Yune away directly. When they passed Old Lin, she even gave him a heavy snort.
Qin Yune kept a straight face, barely managing not to laugh, mainly because their argument sounded just like that of elementary school students.
But one is a master of talisman drawing, and the other is Sister Meng. If she laughs, they might gang up on her.
After Meng Po pulled her out of the shop, she let go of her, glanced at her, and said irritably, "If you want to laugh, then laugh. Don't worry about holding it in."
Qin Yunie didn't dare to laugh, and said with a serious expression, "That's not true."
Meng Po sighed and said helplessly, "I didn't want to cheat him either, but his stuff is really good. Don't be fooled by his claim that your talisman was comparable to a god-level talisman. He was just being modest. If he said it could withstand a god-level talisman, it must be able to withstand a god-king level talisman. You could say that once this talisman is made, it will be hard to find a better one in the world, unless he draws a new one. He only charged you three million for this talisman, which is a very reasonable price."
Qin Yunie nodded, "I know. It's all thanks to your mediation, otherwise Uncle Lin definitely wouldn't have sold this talisman to me."
Meng Po shook her head: "It was just a coincidence that I knew he had recently acquired a favorite item; otherwise, he might not have listened to me."
"Let's go check out the next one."
The two had only walked a short distance when someone came walking towards them, and Qin Yune was bumped into.
The other party immediately apologized sincerely, saying, "I'm sorry."
Qin Yunie didn't think much of it, assuming he was walking too fast and hadn't noticed her, so she shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
But the next second she realized something was wrong; the weight of the wooden box on her body was gone. She immediately shouted, "Stop! Don't run!"
Upon hearing Qin Yunie tell him to stop, the thief quickly ran away.
Meng Po glanced at it and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yune exclaimed urgently, "He stole my talisman!"
Meng Po dodged and kicked the thief several meters away.
The thief vomited blood on the spot, got up and ran away, but he had only taken one step when he found Meng Po standing in front of him.
With a wave of her hand, Meng Po sneering, "You've got some nerve, stealing from me in front of me."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the thief immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face. "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please let me go. This is my first time stealing. I had no choice but to steal because of life's hardships. I have a newborn child. Please let me go. I will never dare to do it again."
Qin Yunie caught up and saw this scene. When he heard that there was a newborn child, and remembering that he had also retrieved his talisman, he suddenly had a thought of letting him go.
But then she remembered what Meng Po had said before: you can't get to this Ghost Market without some skill. He was able to steal her wooden box so accurately and silently. If she hadn't been observant and noticed something was wrong, those talismans would have been stolen.
Such skillful maneuvering—what does that mean? It means he's a repeat offender!
Since he's a repeat offender, it's impossible that he's never been caught. He probably used this trick to fool people in the past.
In addition, she recalled carefully that when he was crying his eyes out, he wasn't particularly scared. Especially when he said he had a newborn child, there wasn't even a trace of remorse on his face, but rather a hint of shrewdness, which meant that he was probably making it up!
Qin Yunie felt increasingly angry as she thought about it; she had almost been fooled by him!
At this moment, Meng Po turned to her and asked, "What do you plan to do with him?"
Qin Yunie said with a grim expression, "He's a repeat offender! We can't let him get away with this! Otherwise, he'll keep doing this kind of thing."
The thief clearly hadn't expected Qin Yunie to recognize him as a repeat offender, and hadn't yet figured out where he had slipped up.
Meng Po glanced at him and said casually, "Then send him to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
Upon hearing this, the thief's face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled like a withered leaf in the wind, as if he might fall apart at any moment.
Clearly, he was filled with fear and awe of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts mentioned by Meng Po.
After that brief exchange, the thief realized that the person who truly controlled his fate here was not Meng Po, but Qin Yune.
Therefore, without hesitation, he tightly hugged Qin Yune's legs, tears streaming down his face, and pleaded hoarsely, "My lord, I was wrong! Please, please don't send me to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts! I truly know I was wrong, please forgive me! Whatever you ask of me, I will do my best to complete it, just please don't send me to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts..."
Seeing this, Qin Yune became curious about what kind of place this Ten Thousand Ghosts Cliff was, that it could frighten him so much.
Qin Yunie frowned, her face showing displeasure. "I don't like having my legs hugged. Let go."
Upon hearing this, the thief immediately replied, "As long as you promise not to send me to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts, I will let go right away."
His words only fueled Qin Yunie's curiosity even more. "Is there really ten thousand ghosts on Ten Thousand Ghosts Cliff?"
