Chapter 139: Tribulation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Not long after Shen Chun sat down and opened the stall, Shen Chun had already divined a few people and was very happy to have earned a small sum of money.
Just as she was taking a break from her busy schedule, she saw a man dressed in black swaying in front of her eyes. After he looked around, he finally chose the stall next door.
This man was tall and lanky. He wore a pair of sunglasses and a large black mask that almost covered his entire face. A few strands of white hair were scattered under his hat and there were small black earrings on his ears.
Wasn’t he afraid of being suffocated by the heat under the sun?
“Fortune teller.” The man bent down and said sincerely, “Do you know how to get rid of nightmares?”
“What do you mean?” The fortune-teller pretended to be confident.
“I’ve been having the same dream recently. There are all kinds of female ghosts in my dream. The moment 1 close my eyes, they pounce on me and take me away. 1 haven’t had a good sleep in a long time.” The man’s magnetic voice was quivering, and the fingertips of his left hand were trembling. It seemed that he was really afraid.
The fortune-teller frowned as he looked at his palm carefully. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, “Ah! This is because you have too many pursuers! You can’t go on like this. This is a huge calamity…”
Almost everyone on the bridge stopped because of his shout.
The man in black quickly stopped the fortune teller and said in a low voice, “Please calm down. Don’t say it so loudly. Just tell me how to resolve it. 1 can pay you.”
The fortune-teller took out a few talismans from his personal bag. Then, he pressed them into his palm and said, “Young man, 1 think you’re quite lucky. It’s just that you’ve been unlucky in the romance department recently. 1 spent a lot of effort writing these talismans. 1 guarantee that you’ll be safe for at least 20 years. I’ll sell them to you at a cheap price, 20000 yuan each.”
Shen Chun heard the man in black swallow hard. “Are you joking? These few pieces of paper…”
“It’s a little expensive, but it’s very accurate!” The fortune-teller smiled confidently.
After Shen Chun glanced at the talisman and then at the fortune-teller, she felt that her own talisman was quite cheap. If even people who sold fake goods dared to ask for such a price, wouldn’t the value of her genuine goods increase by several times?
The man in black hesitated for a moment before taking out his cell phone. Just as he was about to pay, he heard a sneer behind him.
“Have you only learned half of the fortune teller’s talismans?” Shen Chun stared at the fortune teller as she said with a smile, “You’ll lose merit by swindling others like this.”
“Don’t spout nonsense, little girl! I’ve read fortunes for twice as long as your age.” The fortune teller flushed with agitation.
Of course, he knew that his talisman wasn’t real, but how many real Daoists were there in the market? If everyone could earn money, why couldn’t he?
Shen Chun ignored him and turned to look at the man in black clothes. Then, she told him seriously, “Your glabella is very dark. These talismans can’t help you. If you don’t…”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense!” The fortune teller was afraid that this deal would go down the drain, so he hurriedly called the man back.
He stretched out five fingers and said, “50% off. Young man, how about 50% off? get a peace of mind, and I’ll do it to earn a favor, okay?”
The man in black turned around and glanced at the two of them. When he saw that there were more people on the bridge, he hurriedly paid and left with the talisman.
The fortune teller frowned at her and said, “Why are you interfering with other people’s business? Serves you right for not having any business!”
Shen Chun rolled her eyes at him. “He’s covered in black energy, so it’s obvious that he’s been entangled by supernatural creatures. He might not even live to tomorrow. If you can’t even tell that, don’t come out to set up a stall!”
The fortune teller was furious, but he was too embarrassed to argue with a young lady in broad daylight. Thinking that he had earned enough money today, he might as well end work early and go home.
Before he left, he didn’t forget to say to Shen Chun, “Just you wait. That young man will definitely be fine!”
Shen Chun was focused on divining for her customers, so she didn’t take his words to heart at all. This made the fortune teller gnash his teeth in anger.
“Just you wait!”
