Book 4: Chapter 64: The First Customer and…Secret Savings?
Iron Fist Teacher: Although breaking up couples is not good, I support Chen Heng this time. Why should students be dating? They should be studying. If they don’t study, how are they to find good jobs? Furthermore, this old lady has yet to succeed in my blind dates, yet these snotty kids are starting relationships?
Blank Never Loses: Haha! The missing holy maiden makes an appearance.
Iron Fist Teacher: Who are you calling a holy maiden?
Blank Never Loses: I said nothing.
Chen Heng waited for ten or so minutes before the first customer arrived.
However, Chen Heng felt this girl was targeting him, especially since she had a group of friends standing at the side, and those girls were pointing and talking about him.
“Erm…Master, do you have a girlfriend?” After Chen Heng told the girl to sit on the stool across from him, that girl asked such a question after hesitating for a while.
Efreet: Hahaha! Unexpectedly, Chen Heng’s first customer is interested in him.
Iron Fist Teacher: This works too?
I Have a Strong Presence: Well, Chen Heng is quite handsome in the first place. Now, he is wearing these Daoist robes that give him an ethereal air. This would catch the attention of girls all the more.
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: What’s wrong? Sage Megumi, are you tempted?
I Have a Strong Presence: …I’m just speaking the truth.
“…I don’t have a girlfriend, but I don’t plan on entering a relationship for now.”
After Chen Heng spoke, her friends started chatting noisily.
“However, I can divine your destined one.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“What should I do?” Topics like their destined one easily hooked the interest of high school girls these days.
“First, I have three types of divination tools in front of me. You can pick any of them.”
Chen Heng pointed to the three divination tools on the yellow cloth before him. From left to right, they were the crystal ball, the container of wooden lots, and the Tarot cards.
“I’ll draw lots, then.” The girl hesitated for a while before finally choosing the most traditional method.
“Very well. Draw a lot and pass it to me. Oh, right, also give me one LMD.”
After the girl heard what Chen Heng said, she casually pulled a bamboo strip from the container and handed it to Chen Heng. Then she took out an LMD and gave it to him.
After all, it was just one LMD.
“…Your destined one will call you three minutes later and ask you out to a movie. If you agree, you will go to the movies with him tomorrow, have lunch, and go shopping; then he will send you home. After that, your relationship will deepen as time passes. You will encourage each other in your studies and attend the same university. You will be in love with each other and eventually get married; a very blissful life awaits you. However, you have another choice. That is…”
Chen Heng glanced at the lot the girl handed him, and he started explaining her future. Of course, the lot was just a cover-up.
“What is the other choice?” Although that girl appeared skeptical, she asked out of curiosity.
“If you reject him this time, the two of you will not have any more romantic interactions. Without the two of you encouraging each other, you can only enter an ordinary university and marry an ordinary person. You will argue with your life partner over basic necessities for the rest of your life. Your life after that is hard to describe…I can’t go any further. This is all I can say.”
Yes. You will get divorced before 30, then somehow get together with this person who called you. This…is too ridiculous, right?
“I find your words unreliable. It feels more like a casually spun lie.”
“You don’t believe me? Not believing me is right. No ordinary person would believe what I said. However, it does not get in the way of patiently waiting for two minutes; see if a boy calls you to ask you out to a movie tomorrow.”
“Oh! Alright.”
This girl had already been sitting here for three minutes, so she did not mind waiting another two minutes.
Furthermore, what if…what if this person was telling the truth?
Lungmen belonged to Yan, a land that dealt in mysticism. Although Lungmen had many people of other nations, there were many Yan people in Lungmen. Given that, the style and habits of Yan were quite common in Lungmen.
Although there were many frauds doing divination, why did so many people believe in them? It was because these people gave the populace hope for their dreams.
Two minutes later:
“Master, you were wrong. No one has called me yet.”
“Is that so? Don’t rush. Give the signal time to come in.”
Right after Chen Heng spoke, a cell phone rang in the girl’s pocket. She was taken aback and felt embarrassed. However, she quickly took out the phone and answered it.
“Huh? What? See a movie? This…wait. I didn’t say no. Alright. Remember to wait for me tomorrow.”
After this girl ended the call, she looked at Chen Heng.
“Master, you guessed right.”
“What do you mean, guess? This is divination.”
“Yes, yes. Master, can you make another divination for me?”
“I can’t. I only divine the fate of love. The lottery is not within my service scope.”
“How…how incredible! Master, how did you know what I wanted to say?”
“Alright, alright. Leave quickly. Our destiny with each other has come to an end. Let the next customer come.”
“Don’t! Master, divine something else for me. It’s not the lottery this time.”
“Sure. Give me 1,000 LMD, and I’ll tell you where your father hides his secret savings.”
“But I don’t have that much money.” The girl was somewhat put on the spot.
“Go borrow, then. Let me tell you this: your father has over 10,000 LMD in his private savings. You can get over 9,000 LMD. Furthermore, your father will not dare tell your mother. You absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.”
“…Sure, wait here.”
“Wait a moment.”
“What’s wrong, Master?” Chen Heng stopped the girl just as she was about to leave.
“You cannot tell anyone the results of the divination you heard from me. You can divulge a little about the romance one, but if you leak anything else…you will suffer heaven’s punishment.”
“Hea-heaven’s punishment? What does it comprise?”
“Because you would be leaking heaven’s secrets…it includes—but is not limited to—lightning strikes, bad luck, shortened lifespan, a lonely destiny, and a trip to the eighteen layers of hell.” As Chen Heng spoke, lightning streaked across the sky, followed by rolling thunder.
“Ah!” Chen Heng’s words scared the girl. When lightning coincidentally flashed, she flinched, covering her head with both hands.
“Don’t worry. You won’t suffer from heavenly punishment as long as you don’t leak the heavenly secrets. Do you understand?”
“I understand.”
