Chapter 25 The Divination of Fusion Stars
Compared to the hustle and bustle at night, Chenliu City is much quieter during the day. This is probably because of the vibrant nightlife, so most people stay home and sleep during the day.
Fortunately, there were enough businesses, so it still looked bustling.
The wonton vendor was still there. Seeing the customer, he smiled and said, "Little girl, would you like to try some freshly made wontons?"
"Two bowls of pork filling, please." Rong Xing took out two low-grade spirit stones and handed them over. "Please hurry up."
"Alright, two bowls of wontons." The owner called out, quickly wrapping and cooking them on the spot.
Huali didn't forget her serious business this time when she came out with Rongxing. Having finally found a chance to be alone with him, she asked, "Didn't you promise me last time that you would do a divination for me? Is that okay now?"
Rongxing took out a silk cloth and first wiped the chopsticks, then the teacup and the table. Hearing this, she looked up and said, "Sure, what do you want to divine? But let me make it clear beforehand, because I can't see your destiny star, I can only give a general idea, and I can't say the specifics."
"Would it be alright to find someone?" Huali asked after thinking for a moment.
"Finding someone? That's possible, but that person must be connected to you. Do you have any token?"
Huali shook her head and then nodded.
He took out a gold-type card, a water-type card, and a fire-type card. "Can you help me see if I can find someone related to me through these three cards?"
Rong Xing took the card and examined it. He placed the fire-type card on the table, quickly formed hand seals, and then glanced at Hua Li.
Karin: ?
Rongxing glanced at Huali again.
Karin: ......
Rongxing looked at Huali again and hesitated, "Tell me honestly, did you possess someone else's body?"
"Possession?" It took Huali a second to understand what he meant. "No, I'm genuine, a nineteen-year-old girl, I'm not possessed by a ghost."
"Are you even capable? You spent so much time calculating and came up with a body-snatching strategy, but it was still wrong." Hua Li seriously suspected that the positive reviews on his Xianbo account were all bought with spirit stones.
"Then why do your cards show demonic runes?" Rongxing asked疑惑地. "The demon race has absolutely no connection to you. Do you have relatives over there?"
"Yes, it's that little half-demon. I'm his older sister, and also the Demon King's illegitimate daughter."
Rong Xing: "...Alright, would you mind telling me your birth date and time?"
A cultivator's birth date and time are extremely important, as they are one of the essential conditions for possession. They are usually not disclosed to others unless they have a very good relationship with them.
Rongxing had obviously thought of this as well. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'll take another look for you."
However, since the Flower Star of Destiny is not in this world, what is she afraid of? Once the mission is completed, she will say goodbye, and she doesn't have many worries at all.
She waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you can calculate it for me."
Throughout history, fortune-telling has always been a thrilling and exciting game, and Huali has high expectations for it.
Rongxing looked at Huali with a touched expression. He hadn't expected her to trust him so much. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Huali, I've decided to be your friend. Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone else. Let's exchange contact information later."
"How do I add your contact information?" Huali paused for a moment, wondering if she had misheard.
Rong Xing was surprised, "You don't know? Where did you come from? A communication stone? You can communicate by inputting spiritual energy into each other."
The communication stone is actually a mobile phone?
Huali was stunned. She excitedly took it out, but suddenly remembered something, "But I don't have any spiritual power."
Rongxing: "Oh right, I forgot about that. It's okay, you can drip in a drop of blood."
Huali: "......" She has to bleed every time she adds someone as a friend, which is such a waste. She would rather give Lianzhuo a few more sips of her blood.
"I'll add you as a friend next time I cough up blood."
The simple and unadorned explanation shocked Rong Xing: "..."
Ao Bai squinted at his host and silently covered his face. Being this stingy is truly remarkable.
This time, Rongxing took out a tortoise shell, shook it three times to the left and three times to the right, and then the copper coins fell down one by one.
His previously playful demeanor turned serious, and Huali's heart skipped a beat. It was like an old Chinese medicine doctor taking a pulse; a change in expression was never a good sign.
“Your destiny seems to be tied to another person. Do you have any sisters?” Rongxing asked.
Karin shook her head, but she already knew who the other person was.
"The relationship between the two of us is complicated, but it is a zero-sum game. For example, if we were both cultivators, then as her cultivation level increases, my lifespan will decrease, and vice versa."
Rong Xing hissed, "Have I been cursed with the Twin Curse?"
"almost."
“From the cards you gave me, I can tell that people related to you are in the south, but it seems that there are also some in Sunset City, Holy City Demon Realm, and even Chenliu City.”
It seems that Rongxing is indeed quite capable.
"None of that matters. The most important thing is that, as you mentioned, one side is gaining and the other is losing. Right now, you are the weaker party. The fate of the person opposite you has been strengthened by some kind of magic. The closer she is to you, the more backlash you will suffer. Unless you are strong enough to fight against her before then, you should try to stay away from her as much as possible."
"Where is she?" Huali asked hurriedly.
Rong Xing raised his head. "Want to know? That's a different price." His earlier emotional demeanor vanished, replaced by a businesslike air. "I've completed the three divinations I promised you. The remaining secrets cannot be revealed."
"What? Three times?" Karin exclaimed in shock. "It was only once!"
"Cards, divination, destiny analysis, exactly three times." Rongxing thought of something. "You didn't think every answer I gave was free, did you?"
Seeing that Huali was about to lose her temper, Rongxing quickly added, "Just kidding, I'm just kidding, but all I can tell you is that she's in Sunset City right now, and I really don't know anything else."
Hua Li looked at Rong Xing's pale face and knew that he had indeed expended a lot of spiritual energy. She swallowed the words she was about to say: "Eat quickly, and then go for a walk in the attic."
The owner quickly served two bowls of freshly made wontons, saying, "Enjoy your meal, sir."
The wonton wrappers were thin, the fillings generous, and the aroma was irresistible. A layer of tender green scallions was sprinkled on top. Huali's appetite was whetted. She scooped up a plump wonton and took a bite. "Mmm, delicious, but why is this vegetarian?"
Rongxing also took a bite, "Mine too."
Why did the pork filling turn into a vegetarian one?
Huali shook her head. "Maybe they made a mistake because there were too many people. Let's just eat it anyway."
After the meal, the two went to the foot of the Bright Moon Pavilion where the blessing lamp was placed.
The Bright Moon Pavilion has three floors, with the divine artifact, the Blessing Lamp, placed on the top floor.
The second floor is where the members of Mingyue Pavilion rest.
The first floor sells various small decorations shaped like lucky lanterns, which attract many people.
The style is similar to that of the offline stores of "Xianbo", I don't know if there is any connection.
As Huali was watching the exciting scene, a burly giant suddenly caught her eye.
The man was about two meters tall, wearing a short vest made of animal skin. His muscles were bulging, and he had a wolf-mane-like braid. A half-inch-long centipede scar on his left eye made him look fierce and menacing when he looked over.
Clearly, his target was also the lamp of blessing.
Upon entering, he went straight upstairs without saying a word, only to be stopped by a servant at the stairwell. "Guest, please wait. No one may go upstairs without permission."
Tuowu glared with his amber-colored bull eyes. "Get out of the way."
The servant boy refused to budge, and tensions rose sharply.
"Did you see his scimitar?" Rong Xing whispered. "That's a Heavenly Ultimate Magic Weapon. This person is extraordinary."
Following his words, Huali looked over and saw that the curved knife in the big man's hand was as long as an adult man's arm. Its serpentine curve had a bluish-black matte finish, and it looked extremely sharp.
Just then, a man came down from upstairs.
"Tuowu, tomorrow is the God-Celebration Festival, you must not be presumptuous."
The man named Tuowu looked up.
Just when Huali thought he was going to draw his knife and kill the other man, he only glanced at the man lightly and turned away.
They've left?
Huali and Rongxing exchanged a glance. They're leaving already?
Ao Bai licked his paws and answered the question, "One is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and the other is at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage. How can you fight on someone else's territory?"
Hua Li suddenly realized, "Only at the Golden Core stage? Judging from his demeanor, he's no ordinary person."
"You noticed it too?" Rong Xing thought Hua Li was talking to him, and explained, "Some powerful cultivators will deliberately suppress their cultivation to conceal their identities."
"I apologize for startling you all." After shooing the people away, the man cupped his hands in greeting to those around him. "I am Wen Tingyun, and I have been in charge of looking after the Blessing Lamp these past few days. Please don't be impatient, everyone. Tomorrow is the Blessing Festival, and everyone will have the opportunity to receive the blessing of the lamp."
Is the temperature stable?
Huali muttered as she pulled out a wood-type card, finding it odd.
When I saw him just now, the wooden plaque started to get hot, but it didn't react. Could this Wen Tingyun be the antisocial personality from that night?
It doesn't look like him; that person's tone wasn't as gentle as his.
Noticing Huali's gaze, Wen Tingyun turned his head, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
"Miss, is there something you need?"
Hua Li immediately shook her head. For some reason, she felt a chilling sensation of having her life force drained whenever Wen Tingyun got close to her.
That's really strange.
"Ao Bai, can you sense the other mission systems? Has she gained more stars again?"
Ao Bai stared intently at Wen Tingyun and slowly said, "Host, I think I've discovered something incredible."
