Chapter 136: 130: Paranoid Xie Shang, Making Mistakes and Rebelling (Second Updated Chapter) Chapter 136: 130: Paranoid Xie Shang, Making Mistakes and Rebelling (Second Updated Chapter) Xie Shang left, and in the very spot where he had just stood, someone else waited, also anticipating someone’s arrival.

The fortune-teller’s gaze locked on, “Lady, why not have your fortune told?”

It was the exact same pitch as before, not a word changed, “Seek fortune and avoid calamity, no charge if it’s not accurate.”

The lady’s surname was Jhiang, and atop her head she wore a luminous, amusement park-exclusive, oversized butterfly knot hairband, let’s tentatively call her Mrs. Jhiang.

Mrs. Jhiang did not approach.

The persistent fortune-teller made a finger-calculating gesture, “Lady, you have been troubled by emotional issues recently, come on, have a reading.”

Mrs. Jhiang hesitated, possibly bored from waiting too long, and went over.

The fortune-teller gestured with both hands, “Scan here.”

“…”

Left on the table next to the red paper and divination slip of the previous customer, untouched, it all seemed quite unreliable.

Mrs. Jhiang scanned twenty yuan.

“What would you like to inquire about, Lady?”

Mrs. Jhiang was torn for a moment, “Let’s go with financial fortune.”

The fortune-teller produced a red paper, “Write your name on this piece of paper.”

Mrs. Jhiang wrote her name.

The fortune-teller then took out his dining companion—a wooden box, “Draw one from here.”

Mrs. Jhiang reached out but then drew back, visibly struggling, her desire for wealth overcome by curiosity about an unknown domain, “Can I change my question? I want to inquire about marriage prospects.”

Once again the fortune-teller directed with both hands, “Scan over here.”

“…”

Mrs. Jhiang scanned another twenty yuan.

The fortune-teller handed her a new red paper, “Write your name again.”

What followed were the same steps.

Taking the red paper, the fortune-teller examined it before taking out the wooden box again, “Draw one.”

Below the bright yellow divination slip, bamboo slips fluttered in the breeze, red tassels swaying, marked with the word “auspicious.”

Mrs. Jhiang looked for the fortune-teller’s expression, which was as jolly as Maitreya Buddha’s.

“Is it a good omen?”

The fortune-teller said, “Lady, you will have a tremendous gain this year.”

Mrs. Jhiang eagerly asked, “What does that mean?”

“You will receive a present.”

A present?

Mrs. Jhiang remained puzzled, “Could you please clarify?”

The fortune-teller mysteriously produced a folding fan from nowhere and with a snap opened it, his face bearing a cryptic smile, “The secrets of heaven should not be revealed.” Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through, blowing away the red paper with the previous customer’s name from the table.

“…”

Mrs. Jhiang felt like she had been conned.

“Youyou.”

The grand name of Mrs. Jhiang: Jhiang Youyou.
