Dad, Stop Haunting Us, Our Family's Artifacts Have Gone God-Tier

At eighteen, Lu Xiao inherited his family’s Taoist temple. To keep it running, he had no choice but to livestream himself selling the “magic artifacts” he’d tinkered together: plastic swords, the kind with LED lights. A viewer asked, “Can it slay ghosts?” Lu Xiao bragged, “Absolutely. I had my old man, the Jade Emperor, bless every one of them. Ghosts see it and call me ‘Dad’ on the spot.” That very night, the plastic sword killed an S-rank red-robed ghost with a single slash. When its LED lights came on, every ghost bowed in submission. After that, he came up with a few more inventions: a thunderstruck-wood speaker that plays the Great Compassion Mantra on repeat. Turn on the DJ remix, and its purifying effect goes way up. A solar-powered Bagua mirror that charges in the sun and reveals every demon and monster. Rechargeable thunder talismans: toss one, and it crackles with lightning. Fire off as many as you like. Then he went viral, and his products sold out! All the major ghost-slaying organizations came knocking, asking to buy them. More orders, more orders, add to cart, add to cart! All he wanted to say was, “Dad, please stop showing off. Our family’s magic artifacts have become overpowered!”
