It feels like I've heard it dozens or hundreds of times before, but I can't quite place it right now.
"Whatever my older sister says goes!" She simply gave up on thinking about it.
Fu Qingruo could easily detect the perfunctory attitude and distrust in her tone, and she clenched her fists in anger.
no.
If I continue to associate with her, I'll be poisoned by her words.
She took her manuscript, laptop, and other work tools and left on the spot.
Yi Tianran was happy to be at ease and continued to pick up the brush, writing more elegant and powerful characters on the banner.
"Mommy, what have you been writing since early this morning?" Huaihuai asked curiously as she walked up to her.
Yi Tianran smiled and handed them the two paintings she had prepared.
Geng Geng picked up a divination scroll that read, "A divination to determine marriage fate."
The little furball then picked up another one, which read, "A divination to ward off bad luck."
"And the horizontal scroll!" Yi Tianran wrote the last stroke with a flourish, which Huaihuai read aloud: "Divine Calculation—A True Master."
"Mommy, are you going to switch careers and become a fortune teller?" The little furball expressed a slight shock.
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow, her brows full of arrogance: "Your mother is an expert in every trade, and business will soon come knocking on our door. Why not take advantage of it?"
Yi Tianran quickly went to Jingda Street to set up a fortune-telling stall.
I wasn't originally planning to bring the three little ones, but I eventually agreed after their irresistible charm offensive. Plus, they have hacking skills, so they can be a helper.
Of course, their appearance was still too conspicuous, so to avoid trouble, they disguised themselves and changed their image slightly.
Yi Tianran specially dressed up as a fortune teller with an air of otherworldly wisdom, and the appearance of this old man and three children attracted countless eyes.
Some elderly women, seeing the three children surrounding the fortune teller and trying to solicit business, looked at him with kind eyes: "What adorable children! They're out here with their grandfather to have their fortunes told. It must be tough for the old man!"
"How about I go and have my fortune told and give some money, just to accumulate good karma for my children?"
"Then I'll have my fortune told too, and ask my granddaughter if she'll be able to find a partner this year."
“I’ve been having bad luck lately. I lost 10,000 yuan last month. I wonder if this can be predicted. If it can, I’ll give half to the old gentleman.”
A group of friendly people gathered around, not expecting anything significant.
To everyone's surprise, Yi Tianran was able to guess their worries simply by having each person write a sentence on a piece of paper.
After all, as the world's number one detective, he can analyze many details based on a person's clothing and appearance.
Everyone was stunned. Their initial skepticism towards Yi Tianran turned into admiration, and they wished she could tell more fortunes for them.
But Yi Tianran refused: "I can only tell one fortune for one person a day."
Many people felt regretful, but those who received the answer were enlightened and beamed with joy.
But then, someone had to argue, "Pshaw! A bunch of ignorant women, too old to stay home peacefully, believing in these superstitious things, getting scammed and still counting money for the scammers, only causing trouble for their children, as stupid as pigs."
Upon hearing this, the elderly men and women all looked rather displeased.
They weren't really that superstitious. If the fortune teller wanted hundreds or thousands of dollars to tell their fortunes, they wouldn't have agreed. But they only had five dollars, so they considered it an act of charity. Yet, the younger generation called them foolish.
Yi Tianran clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, glanced at the arrogant middle-aged man, shook her head and sighed: "Young friend, were you raised by animals? If you can't speak human language, you're not human. You look like a QR code; if you don't scan it, you won't even know what you are."
The middle-aged man's face turned ashen, and he angrily said, "You stinking charlatan, who are you calling a scoundrel?"
Yi Tianran calmly retorted, "Are you some kind of thing?"
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but could he say that he was a thing?
In a fit of rage, he let out a pig-like squeal, which drew laughter from everyone.
"Oh, so it's a pig reincarnated! No wonder it's so stupid," Huaihuai said innocently.
Geng Geng coldly replied, "That's what you call being as stupid as a pig."
Little Fur Ball: "..." As a noble human being, he has no need to judge animals.
The middle-aged man, enraged, cursed loudly: "You foul-mouthed little bastard, how dare you insult your grandpa..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp, knife-like gaze coming his way. The killing intent in that gaze seemed capable of tearing a person to pieces!
The middle-aged man shuddered in fright and instinctively fell silent.
He then realized that he was actually afraid of a fortune teller swindler—what a joke!
He wanted to curse again, but Yi Tianran spoke calmly: "Considering your inhumanity, I'll give you a free fortune telling! Congratulations, your relationship is about to break down, and you will suffer a double disaster of bloodshed and financial ruin. I advise you to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and be reborn as a human in your next life!"
The middle-aged man's face darkened: "You're talking nonsense! I have plenty of money, and I'm doing very well with my wife. You're just angry and maliciously cursing me. Believe me or not, I'll sue you and make sure you and your four grandchildren starve to death on the streets!"
Although others also thought the young man was vicious and foul-mouthed, as inhuman as an animal, there's a saying that evil deeds last a thousand years. How could he be so easily brought down?
The fortune teller was probably too angry and just made things up on the spot; don't take it seriously.
“Five minutes.” Yi Tianran looked up with a smile, her eyes cold and devoid of any warmth. “Let’s make a bet. If you’re not in trouble after five minutes, then I lose. If I lose, I can kneel down and kowtow to you to admit my mistake. If you lose… take off your shirt and jump into this lake for a swim!”
It was just before winter, and the lake hadn't frozen over yet, but it was bitterly cold. Swimming in the lake would be freezing you half to death, and in severe cases, you might have to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month, which was both expensive and troublesome.
“Okay.” The middle-aged man readily agreed, adding maliciously, “Anyone who goes back on their word will suffer a terrible fate.”
Time ticked by, and not far away—
Liu Ruyi frowned and asked the middle-aged man beside her, "Brother Zhu, do you think this fortune teller really has the ability to deal with that person?"
"Whether he's capable or not, Madam will soon find out. Don't you want to test him too?" After all, Brother Zhu had been by Liu Ruyi's side for so many years, and sometimes he knew everything about her without her having to explain.
She probably understands her better than her husband, Yi Hai.
"That's true." Liu Ruyi thought about it and agreed.
She's been having such bad luck lately.
From that stench to being humiliated at the banquet and becoming a laughing stock in high society, and then having her hand broken by the crazy old woman from Yi Lao Si's family, she was practically plagued by bad luck, making Yi Hai avoid her like the plague.
Only Brother Zhu remained by her side, showing her the utmost loyalty, and even recommended a fortune teller to her.
If there really were such a diviner, she would be willing to treat the other party like a living Buddha.
