NOVEL NEXT Chapter 193: Delighted About Freeloading
“I’m going to sleep with Yuxiu tonight, hehe~”
Chen Ling: “…”
He had initially thought she was going to say she wanted to sleep with him, and he was planning to elope with her that night. But since she said that, he didn’t want to push the matter. Still, he felt a bit uncomfortable…
He replied casually, “Alright then. Are you hungry? Shall we grab something to eat?”
“Sure~”
“Can I come along too?” Luo Yuxiu looked at Sui Sui and Chen Ling with anticipation.
“Of course!”
Then, the three of them left the estate and headed to the town.
By now, many Aries Academy students were already in town, making the streets bustling. Flame Blue Town’s night market was quite beautiful. The town earned its name because of the regional dialect spellwork that produced fire-based magic. The flames were blue and exceptionally beautiful.
Many shops had blue lanterns hanging outside, adding to the charm.
“Fortune-telling here~ Don’t miss out while passing by, it’s free if the prediction is wrong~” A voice called out.
Among the various hawkers on the street, he seemed insignificant.
As Sui Li’er walked past, the fortune teller suddenly spoke up, “This young lady, just by looking at you, I can tell you’re a woman. How about a fortune reading?”
Chen Ling: “…”
The bar for fortune telling had really gotten low.
Sui Li’er ignored him. “I know I’m a woman… Do I still need a reading?”
It was obvious that he was a fraud!
“I can tell from a glance that you and the handsome guy next to you are lovers. How about I help you read your romantic fate?”
!!!
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui’s emotions are exceptional! Points +1 billion! 〛
Her steps immediately paused, and her moon-like eyes lit up.
Lovers?! Romantic fate?!
She was curious!
Her face turned a little red, and she looked at Chen Ling beside her. Inner thoughts: ( How did he figure out that we’re a couple? We’re not really a couple yet, are we? He’s a fortune teller—does that mean we will be in the future? )
Sui Li’er’s mind was racing.
All her internal ponderings were laid bare in front of Chen Ling. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: You’ve been holding my hand the whole time, and your gaze has been on my face non-stop. Only a fool wouldn’t see it.
“Hey hey, young lady, would you like to have your romantic fate with your lover read?”
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui is embarrassed! Points +1 billion~〛
Sui Li’er bit her lip and glanced at Chen Ling, her face clearly showing: I want to.
Chen Ling could only roll his eyes helplessly: “Go ahead, get it done…”
“Hehe~!” Sui Li’er cheerfully approached his booth.
Luo Yuxiu remained silent throughout; she knew that these fortune-tellers were all scams. However, she saw it as paying for a good mood. This fortune teller wanted to make money, so he would naturally say some pleasant things to hear. She had a plan: she wouldn’t tell Sui Sui and would pay on her behalf when it was time. It was like spending money to make her idol happy! Perfect~
“Come, extend your little hand and let me take a look at your palm lines first.”
Sui Li’er obediently held out her palm.
The fortune teller also extended his hand, but suddenly felt a powerful aura enveloping him.
Surprised, he looked up and saw Chen Ling’s murderous gaze. His expression clearly conveyed: If you dare to touch her, you’re done for!
Seeing this, the fortune teller awkwardly withdrew his hand: “Cough… Well, about these palm lines… How should I put it…”
At the same time, his inner thoughts emerged: What should I say… How about praising them a bit, hehe…)
“Well, if you nurture this relationship well, it’s bound to be smooth sailing. A perfect match of beauty and talent, destined for each other!”
〚Hehe~ Sui Sui is happy~ Points +1 billion~〛
Sui Li’er didn’t bother to analyze his motives logically. She was just happy to hear it!
The fortune teller noticed her joy and felt pleased himself. He continued: “Your parents will likely approve of this marriage as well. There will be hardly any obstacles.”
“Huh? My parents… I don’t have parents.”
Chen Ling couldn’t help but chuckle: Fool, she’s an orphan, didn’t expect that, right?.
The fortune teller’s smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile: “Of course, I know! What I meant was that you don’t have parents now, but you will in the future. Someday, you will definitely find your parents, or let’s say, the groom’s parents will treat you like their own child.”
“Oh~ I see… hehe~ Anything else?”
(That was close! Almost slipped up!)
Chen Ling: “…”
Then the fortune teller quickly offered some more pleasant words to keep Sui Li’er in a good mood which gave Chen Ling several billion points.
Chen Ling maintained a cold smirk throughout, thinking: Just because of the points you’re spouting, I won’t let you off easily.
Just then, the fortune teller’s tone changed: “Oh, wait a moment! I’ve seen something! A great catastrophe!?”
“Huh? What’s that?” Sui Li’er’s heart tightened at his words.
The fortune teller frowned: “There’s a major calamity in your relationship. If not handled well, this good connection might be lost.”
“What?!” Sui Li’er looked at him with concern.
The fortune teller shook his head: “Well, this falls under celestial secrets. People like me who peek into such secrets pay a certain price…”
“Huh? What price?”
Chen Ling chuckled and said, “It means paying with money.”
“Ahem…” The fortune teller cleared his throat and solemnly said: “Do not mention money! Talking about money isn’t appropriate. Just knowing is enough. Keep it in your heart; it shows devotion. Otherwise, the deities might find you vulgar.”
Chen Ling sneered inwardly, thinking: Your devotion can go to hell… I’m the diety here.
Sui Li’er nodded after hearing this: “Ah? So, the previous readings don’t require payment?”
The fortune teller chuckled softly: “Those earlier readings were superficial. I can see that you have a kind heart just from your appearance. I gifted them to you. But what I’m about to reveal could change your destiny.”
“Oh! Really? Thank you!” Sui Li’er suddenly exclaimed in delight.
The fortune teller was about to respond with a smile, but suddenly Sui Li’er sat up straight and turned to Chen Ling with a smile: “Hehe~ It was free of charge, let’s go!”
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui feels delighted about freeloading~ Points +100,000~〛
The fortune teller: ???
( Damn it, you little brat, you’re really sharp. You’ve opened my eyes…)
( This little girl is quite cute, why isn’t she acting properly!?)
Threateningly, he said: “Miss, if you do this, I won’t be able to help you with that impending calamity.”
Sui Li’er nodded: “No worries, I don’t need your help.”
(I’ve got Lord God on my side~ hehe~)
Mainly, she didn’t want to hear about any calamities and spoil her mood. The previous things were fine! She won’t listen to the later ones~
The fortune teller looked helpless, his face full of embarrassment.
“Thanks~ Let’s go, Chen Ling~ hehe~”
However, Chen Ling smiled and said: “Wait a moment, I want to get my fortune read too.”
The fortune teller clenched his teeth upon hearing this:
(You also want to freeload?!)
Chen Ling sneered and pulled out a thick stack of curse coins!
“Smack!” He slapped them down in front of him.
In a cold tone, he said: “If you can predict accurately, all of these are yours.”
The sound drew the attention of the people around.
Chu Jian, along with Mi Yao and Yan Ran, who were hiding in the shadows, all became interested.
