Chapter 554 Ying Zijing, she really is a goddess [2 updates]
Even if you're lucky enough to buy a real tarot deck, without the guidance of a proper diviner, you won't be able to get any results.
Before Juan came to China, an elder from the Hershel family told him about the fortune-telling world in China and warned him to be careful.
In terms of divination, regardless of whether O Continent experienced that witch's trial or not, it cannot compare with the East.
If he offends the fortune teller here, even the Hershel family can't protect him.
Juan also knew that the most skilled fortune tellers in China were mostly elderly people, forming their own circle, and they generally didn't come out.
How did he manage to run into him?
Wen Tinglan looked up and smiled, a rare occurrence, but it was cold: "Hu An, how many faces do you have? Aren't you good enough to be beaten?"
Juan's expression froze. Remembering the live broadcast of the program that morning, his face instantly turned as black as if it could drip water.
He gritted his teeth, feeling extremely unwilling.
This brother and sister are clearly here to bring him bad luck.
"Sis, you play." Wen Tinglan had naturally interacted with students from the Astrology Star System, and he knew a little about tarot cards. "What kind of reading do you do?"
Ying Zijing said casually, "Let me tell you about your love luck."
Wen Tinglan: "..."
He didn't really want it.
Adele, however, became interested: "Sister, did you figure it out? Was it me?"
"Adele, it's fake!" Juan exclaimed angrily. "They don't know, but how could you not?"
If everyone had a talent for astrology, wouldn't everyone be studying galaxies at Norton University?
Adele rolled her eyes: "What's it to you?"
Juan was so frustrated he couldn't speak.
Ying Zijin had already turned all her cards over at this point.
Juan glanced at it casually.
One card is the Tower upright, one is the Magician reversed, and the last card is the Judgment reversed.
None of these cards have auspicious meanings.
It represents failure at the last hurdle and utter despair.
And this is supposed to be a fortune teller for Wen Tinglan's love life?
Juan scoffed lightly, didn't look again, and went back to the hotel.
Inside the room, Ying Zijing put away her cards and raised an eyebrow.
She wasn't calculating Wen Tinglan's romantic luck, but rather the situation that would happen to Hu An tomorrow.
Adele also saw the three cards with ominous meanings, and her mood immediately plummeted: "Sister, these cards?"
"I can't do the math, don't take it seriously." Ying Zijin took out another lollipop. "My dad is a great cook, you're welcome to come to our house."
After eating the lollipop, Adele forgot what she was going to ask.
She took out the remaining gold bricks and happily distributed them to Li Han and the others.

night.
The Ji family.
Villa area.
After finishing her meal, Ying Zijing stood on the open-air balcony to enjoy the breeze.
The phone rang twice at that moment.
[May]: Miss, news has come from the divination world that a water snake has awakened in the cold pool of this mountain. It is as thick as a tree, highly venomous, and is predicted to have lived for over a hundred years. It has a certain level of intelligence and its strength is comparable to that of an ancient martial artist with sixty years of cultivation.
[May]: They're going tomorrow afternoon, preparing to work together to strangle the snake and prevent it from harming the people. Grandpa wants me to go with him to exercise. Miss, are you coming?
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly and replied.
Yes, I will go.
This mountain is the one behind the tourist attraction that Juan chose.
Of course, creatures like the dragon and the phoenix, which are legendary and imagined by people, do not exist on Earth.
But there are indeed some unrecorded creatures.
These creatures mostly live in the deep sea, places that even submarines cannot reach.
This lake is a place with excellent feng shui, capable of supporting such a thick water snake.
A place with auspicious feng shui naturally possesses rare medicinal herbs, minerals, or other rare items.
Why not take advantage of a free lunch?
The fortune tellers were so excited not because the water snake had awakened, but because of the rare and precious treasures found there.
As Ying Zijing was deep in thought, someone wrapped their arms around her waist from behind.
The man's palms were warm, and his fingertips seemed to possess a magical power, stirring up a jolt of electricity.
Ying Zijing grasped his hand: "You can't hug me here, it tickles."
"Hmm? Ticklish?" Fu Yunshen wasn't teasing her; he changed his position. "How did I do today?"
"Hmm—" Ying Zijing paused, tilting her head slightly, "Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
Although Fu Yunshen was wrapped up very tightly, he even used the ancient martial arts manual Bone Shrinking Technique to slightly change his height.
But it's still not safe.
After all, netizens are very observant these days.
They were able to identify the real person from just a blurry photo.
"How could that be?" Fu Yun raised a deep eyebrow and drew out his voice, "Yaoyao, I'm only a half-baked disguise artist. If I were recognized, wouldn't all my learning have been for nothing?"
Ying Zijing leaned on the balcony, looking languid: "The commander is quite capable."
"The New Year is almost here again." Fu Yunshen rubbed her head. "Time really flies. Old Master Mu said he's inviting you to the Mu family for New Year's Eve this year."
"Hmm." Ying Zijing didn't refuse. "I'm fine with either."

the next day.
Juan made thorough preparations.
Since we were just sightseeing today, the production team didn't film us. We'll continue with a new live stream tomorrow.
This attraction is not well-known, but it has a popular spot for taking photos, where many tourists line up to take pictures.
"Let's go over there and have some fun," Juan coughed twice, pretending to be casual. "There are too many people here; we can't really enjoy ourselves."
Adele, Ying Zijin, and Li Han did not come today.
The other two Norton University students, led by Juan, naturally agreed.
Wen Tinglan nodded in agreement.
A senior from Imperial University initially didn't want to go, but when he saw Wen Tinglan agree, he frowned and stood up: "Little brother, I'll go with you."
During the few days they spent recording the program together, they all realized that Juan had been targeting Wen Tinglan.
Who knows what will happen?
Juan frowned.
He only wanted to keep Wen Tinglan and didn't want to involve ordinary people.
But he couldn't refuse, so he could only lead these people to the back of the mountain.
Hu pretended to be out of the loop, glanced at the coordinates on his phone, and led Wen Tinglan toward the cold pool.
"Juan, don't you feel a bit cold?" The boy next to him rubbed his hands together. "Let's go back, it's too quiet here."
Juan, unfazed, used reverse psychology: "The operations department's missions are often in no man's land, what's this?"
The boy also fell silent.
Indeed, it's nothing compared to the task at Norton University.
Two hours later, the group arrived at a lake.
It got colder and quieter.
Juan narrowed his eyes.
This is the place.
The lake was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Wen Tinglan's expression hardened slightly.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, a very eerie sound rang out.
At the same moment, with a "whoosh," a column of water rose from the lake surface.
A water snake, at least fifteen meters long, appeared in sight.
It has green, vertical pupils that are sinister and menacing.
The group was shocked.
They stared blankly at the very thick water snake, completely forgetting to move.
The words "Legend of the White Snake" immediately popped into the senior's mind, making him seriously suspect that he was watching a TV series.
Otherwise, how could such a large snake appear?!
Juan remained calm, inwardly sneering.
That's exactly the effect I wanted. This snake could easily keep Wen Tinglan here.
But before he could begin to act according to plan, the water snake suddenly hissed again.
"Hiss—"
When it opened its mouth, it sprayed out a thick, green venom.
Where the venom was sprayed, all the plants withered.
Juan's expression changed drastically, and his face gradually turned deathly pale.
not good!
What a miscalculation!
As expected, because of the great distance, even the Hershel family's diviners couldn't predict that the power of this venomous snake was far beyond their control.
Killing Wen Tinglan is fine, but he'll probably have to die here today too.
This is not good.
Juan gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and turned to run.
As she ran away, she didn't forget to give Wen Tinglan a push.
The venomous snake was just ahead; only if Wen Tinglan was eaten by the snake would he have a chance to escape.
The venomous snake opened its mouth again and spat out venom.
Wen Tinglan had already taken the pills Ying Zijin gave him before he arrived.
After knocking his senior unconscious, he also fed him a pill.
Before the venomous snake could launch its next attack, Wen Tinglan had already carried her senior on her back and moved aside.
Juan not only failed to push the object, but also fell to the ground himself.
The water snake sprayed venom once again.
Juan let out a scream and fell to the ground, repeatedly yelling, "My arm! My arm!"
His entire arm was gradually corroded by the venom sprayed by the water snake, leaving deep wounds that exposed the bone.
The other two Norton University students were almost in despair.
They had no idea about Juan and the Herschel family's plans.
They were all just adults, with very little practical experience, and had never encountered such a situation before.
Norton University also keeps some wild animals to increase the chances of survival for students when they join the Operations Department and are on missions in the desert or rainforest.
But they are only sophomores and have never participated in such a mission before.
what to do?
Just as the two were in a state of panic, the venomous snake suddenly stopped attacking.
As if it had discovered a greater crisis, it slowly raised its head, its green eyes fixed on a certain direction.
At the same time, a cold, slow, and detached voice fell.
"I told you, it's dangerous here, don't come."
"If you come, be prepared to die."
On the lake, the girl walked forward step by step.
As smooth as walking on flat ground, leaving no trace in water.
Please give me a monthly vote, see you tomorrow~~
