I Became Kyoto's Richest Man by Exorcising Ghosts on Livestream

As the supernatural resurges, terrifying incidents break out across the world.

Yan Qing, an abandoned heir of a wealthy family, had a spiritual pressure test score of zero. Everyone thought this "good-for-nothing" could never become an Awakened and fight the supernatural.

But no one expected him to set up a livestream called "Late-Night Counseling" in a shabby apartment in the gray zone.

Every gift viewers sent in the livestream could be converted into "merit," which Yan Qing could use as a resource to activate his powers.

[Viewer sent 10 "Flowers of Rebirth" as a gift. Merit +10,000!]

[Congratulations, Host, on redeeming the supreme divine artifact: the Merit Rebirth Brush!]

[Special mission reward: Congratulations, you have received a property in a prime central district of Kyoto.]

Half-lidded, he spun a sandalwood bead between his fingers. "Since you're here, why not send a gift before you go?"

Haters across the internet: If this charlatan can deliver an S-rank supernatural entity to the afterlife, I'll eat my phone right here!

The next second, the Blood Bride, whose name struck terror into everyone's hearts, wept before Yan Qing and willingly reincarnated.

The livestream chat exploded: [Holy crap! This isn't a charlatan. A real god has descended!]

Meanwhile, Fu Wangshu, the rumored cold-blooded officer of the Special Response Bureau, was quietly flooding the chat:

["Fu Wangshu" sent a rocket and left a message: Don't wear yourself out. I'll handle the rest with physical exorcisms.]

Everyone: ... (eyes wide with shock)

"Mr. Fu, your murderous aura is so strong, you're likely to bring misfortune to your husband."

That was the first thing Yan Qing said to "Living Yama" Fu Wangshu.

Everyone online thought the reckless little streamer would be killed on the spot by Officer Fu.

But instead:

Mission One: Arrest Yan Qing for unauthorized livestreaming.

Fu Wangshu: He's helping the dead move on, and I'm doing the grunt work. What's the problem?

Mission Two: Seal an S-rank Mirage.

Fu Wangshu: He's reasoning with the people inside, and I'm standing guard at the entrance.

Mission Three: Take Yan Qing back to the bureau for questioning.

Fu Wangshu: I'm taking him home. Anyone have a problem with that?

Yan Qing: "Officer Fu, what happened to your absolute rationality and violent aesthetic?"

Fu Wangshu tightened his black leather gloves. "For you, I'll defy every order."

Chat: [That handsome guy doing odd jobs has such a fierce look in his eyes. Is he trying to steal the top spot?]

Yan Qing chuckled, his voice teasing. "He's not trying to be on top. He's trying to marry into my family."
