    "Live Fortune Telling, Customer, You've Been in the Wrong Grave for Ten Years" Chapter 28: Let Me Perform a Ritual to Cut Off Your Unwanted Romantic Encounters. Xia Qingzhu's pills for today were a bit more complicated. They involved decocting or stir-frying. The black sesame pills were also essential. However, producing this second batch quickly wouldn't be so simple. While she was busy, a wailing, howling song came from outside. "You ask me how deep my love is, how much I love you." "My feelings are true, my love is true." "The moon represents my heart..." As the song grew closer, Xia Qingzhu suddenly had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next second, the door to the alchemy room was pounded loudly. "Knock knock knock..." "Knock knock knock..." "Oh~ my dear sister, I bet you're in there now, right~" That flirtatious, translator-like tone sent chills down Xia Qingzhu's spine. This was her second brother, Xia Zhicheng, someone who would be disliked wherever he went in the Xia family. It wasn't that he wasn't handsome. Nor was it that he lacked intelligence. It's not that he's "serious," but rather that he's not very "serious." What serious person would use a translator's tone to ask for favors all the time? What serious person could drive away nine girlfriends? Xia Qingzhu didn't speak, but the sounds from outside continued. "Oh my God, come and see my poor brother!" "My own sister is clearly inside, but she won't open the door for me. It's terrible!" Xia Qingzhu got goosebumps all over. She forced herself to open the door, suppressing the urge to kick him away. She put on a forced smile: "Second brother, just tell me what you need." She was thinking about what Butler Li had said yesterday. Xia Zhicheng had just been dumped, and his mood was worse than seeing the King of Hell. Based on her past life experience, he would go crazy on anyone he could get his hands on. How do you deal with a madman? The best solution is to satisfy all his demands. Xia Zhicheng wore a hand-tailored gray plaid suit, his hair dyed a fashionable misty blue. Two tufts of hair framed his smooth forehead, with wispy strands framing his face. A pair of silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He exuded a refined yet roguish charm. The aura he projected was so intense that Xia Qingzhu couldn't quite describe it. Well… that was assuming he didn't speak. "My dear sister, you're being too formal." "When I woke up today and ate the black sesame balls you made, the world felt so beautiful and harmonious." "How could someone as wonderful as me possibly ask you to do anything?" Xia Qingzhu shuddered, shaking off the goosebumps that had settled over her body. "Oh, it's just to thank you for the black sesame balls, no need for that. I have other things to attend to." She turned to leave, but he grabbed her arm. His usually charismatic face was now filled with sorrow. "It's unbelievable that Xiaozhu is so cold to me. Has the child grown up and stopped loving her brother?" Go shake the water out of your head! Xia Qingzhu mentally ranted. She also found it hard to believe that the Xia family had such a freak. Well… in a way, it seemed that none of the Xia family's children, except for her, were normal. Yes, that's it. She took a deep breath: "Brother, this love is a bit heavy." "Oh?" "It'll cost more." Xia Zhicheng raised an eyebrow: "Ten million, is that enough?" "Yes, thank you, brother, you're so kind. I love listening to your love stories, they're always epic!" Saying this, Xia Qingzhu straightened her back, her face full of longing. She didn't like listening to her second brother's melodramatic love saga. Unfortunately, he paid too much. She could just let it go in one ear and out the other. In the past, after a breakup, he would randomly find a heartbroken person to pour out his feelings. This time, the amount was truly rare. Xia Zhicheng handed over a check with satisfaction. He took Xia Qingzhu to the restaurant, had the servants prepare some tea and snacks, and then began to tell his story. "She's truly the cutest girl I've ever seen, with big, round eyes and long eyelashes." "Her neck is also very long; you don't know, I thought she was incredibly elegant at first glance." "And those long legs, she's my dream girl..." He only got to this point. January 2, 2025 (Underlined) Xia Qingzhu pictured a giraffe in her mind. "Hmm. No wonder it's my second brother's taste." Xia Zhicheng continued, his lips moving rapidly. When he got to the part where they were in love, he put one foot on the table and made a lifting gesture with his hands. "She! She's the light of my life!" Xia Qingzhu picked up a pastry and continued eating. OK. He'd described all eight of his previous girlfriends like that. Then, Xia Zhicheng recounted his breakup. It was heartbreaking. He practically played "Breakup That Autumn" on the spot. After finishing, Xia Zhicheng suddenly leaned closer. "But! You'll never guess, I asked her to get back together today, and she agreed!" Xia Qingzhu swallowed the pastry in her mouth and agreed, "Oh, really? Congratulations!" Xia Zhicheng waved his hand dismissively, "Well, it's mainly because of her strong personal charm! Um, I heard from Xiaomei that you've been learning alchemy lately?" The main point finally arrived. When her second brother spoke seriously, it meant he was about to embark on a grand undertaking. Perhaps he was planning his next company, offering valuable advice, or, in a moment of joy, buying her and Xia Qingmei something worth millions. She wasn't unfamiliar with reconciliations. But since he was in a good mood now, there was no need to sabotage it. To be polite, Xia Qingzhu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and nodded, "Yes." "Then can you concoct a few 'Heartbreak Pills'?" Xia Zhicheng asked, rubbing his hands together. "What's a Heartbreak Pill?" "It's the kind where after we eat it, we'll be devoted to each other, happily ever after, and no one will bother us!" Xia Zhicheng's eyes were clear. So clear they could reveal a kind of foolishness. Yes, this was the legendary "love-struck brain." The kind where if you knocked on his skull, his mind would be filled with nothing but love. "Brother, do you think I have that ability?" "I'll give you another ten million." "It's not about the money." "Add another five hundred." "Deal! I can't make the Heartbreak Pill, but I can perform a ritual to cut off unwanted romantic advances for you!" Xia Qingzhu said with a straight face, "It's my duty as your sister to help you!" "Cut off unwanted romantic advances?" Xia Zhicheng asked curiously, "What does that mean?" Xia Qingzhu immediately explained, "In one's life, one will encounter many members of the opposite sex." "With these members, some will develop feelings, some will become couples, and some will even get married." "But being together doesn't necessarily mean you have a legitimate romantic relationship. I'll help you cut off bad romantic advances, which means removing unnecessary male attention around her." Xia Zhicheng's eyes lit up, "That's great! Let's do that!" "Okay, write down your birth dates and times, her name, and address for me, and then go prepare some things." Saying this, she picked up a notepad and began writing down the necessary items. The ritual to cut off unwanted romantic advances is relatively simple, and it only cuts off bad romantic advances, not good ones. For me personally, this is a good thing, so there's nothing I can't do.

These villains are either cunning and treacherous or obsessive and ruthless, but without exception, they all harbor a deep obsession with the protagonist.
