The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 464 - 463: Developed a New Business

Shutong Nian cleaned out her ears for the first time, disbelieving, she asked, "What did you say?"

The emaciated man was somewhat dazed to begin with, so he didn’t quite catch Shutong’s comment about taking a look at the sculpture.

"Master, isn’t this the Immortal’s Guidance? I know some ancient families that possess this tradition; generally, any big family event, people specifically seek someone to pick an auspicious date before proceeding."

"I’m truly at my wit’s end, Master. Please point me to a clear path."

This time, Shutong Nian finally understood the man’s request, and she really couldn’t believe that someone would come to the Black Market to seek fortune-telling.

Isn’t that just asking for trouble?

Who here is a good person? Having someone do their fortune-telling is like asking for a shortened lifespan, right?

The man across from her simply slumped to the ground, despondently staring at the sculpture before him, but his eyes were motionless, just blankly gazing at one spot.

Shutong Nian did know a bit about metaphysics, but she wasn’t specialized in it, so her knowledge was truly only superficial.

"Cough cough...well, I’m not..."

"Master, I know that people like you don’t take action lightly, it’s all about fate. I have no other skills, just a lot of dirty money. Just take a look for me, I’ll pay you ten million as a reward."

Ten million? Ten sculptures?

Shutong Nian was somewhat tempted, she sighed and said, "Alright, today I will make an exception just this once."

"Sit up straight, extend your left hand."

The man hadn’t expected it to really happen, and cooperated very well, sitting up and extending his left hand, waiting for Shutong Nian’s fortune-telling results.

He really was at the end of his rope, but he wasn’t foolish enough to state his problems upfront. What if it didn’t work?

Of course, if it truly worked, he would honestly pay the ten million, without daring to skimp a cent.

At that moment, Shutong Nian held the man’s wrist gently, indeed to check his palm, but also to feel his pulse.

Feeling the pulse could reveal the man’s age, physical condition, and even the slightest shift in emotion, she could know it all.

What if it was a physical deficiency? In her view, that might be somewhat easier to treat.

"Unexpectedly, you don’t look old, but our ages are actually quite similar."

With this one sentence, the man straightened up a bit. Indeed, he wasn’t young.

"Hmm, destined for one wife and one son, hardships in the early years, toil in middle age, now you’re indeed enjoying wealth."

"Master!"

The man knelt on the ground, leaning forward, hope growing in his eyes.

Although these things can be inquired about, he didn’t come to the Black Market with a plan; he just came on a whim when he saw the four words "Immortal’s Guidance" and approached randomly. Could it be that he really had met a master?

By now, Shutong Nian could no longer see anything more in his palm, but while metaphysics wasn’t helpful, medicine could be.

There was a faint smell of medicine on the man’s body, which Shutong Nian was absolutely familiar with.

She had already let go of the man’s wrist and spoke, "You’re here for your son’s sake, aren’t you?"

"Master, your powers are divine."

The man truly kindled hope; the concern for his son was something that nobody knew about.

But this master knew just by simply looking at his palm.

At this moment, Shutong Nian didn’t respond directly but took a Jade Pendant out from her bosom and placed it on the white cloth on the ground.

"This Jade Pendant, I’ll only charge you ten thousand Star Coins, not a scam, right?"

The man didn’t understand why the topic had shifted to the Jade Pendant.

But after glancing at the Jade Pendant on the ground, he shook his head and said, "Not a scam, even too cheap, but Master..."

The man paused mid-sentence because Shutong Nian raised a hand across from him, cutting off his words.

"Don’t rush, listen to me."

"You take this Jade Pendant back, have your son wear it, his symptoms will ease."

"As for the rest, let’s talk about it later."

After she had spoken, Shutong Nian began packing up her stall, not planning to sell anymore.

The frantic man across from her had finally found a sliver of hope and couldn’t let it slip away in front of his eyes.

"Master, I believe you, I do, you don’t need to take the Jade Pendant."

"Don’t go, where would I find you if you leave?"

The man clutched a corner of the cloth, refusing to let go, attempting to stop Shutong Nian. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Before Shutong Nian could pack up the white cloth, Fu Yunhe returned with Eight-character Moustache.

"What’s going on here?"

"Second Young Master, why are you sitting on the ground?"

Fu Yunhe’s question was directed at Shutong Nian, while Eight-character Moustache spoke to the "Second Young Master" sitting on the ground clutching the cloth.

Shutong Nian’s thoughts turned; this was a big fish.

Anyone known as Second Young Master in the Black Market wasn’t a simple character.

Shutong Nian explained softly to Fu Yunhe, "This gentleman came to me for fortune-telling, I just offered a few words of advice."

"My friend, please let go, fate cannot be forced."

Fu Yunhe, with an expressionless face, stepped forward to help Shutong Nian with her belongings. As for when she had taken up metaphysics, he wasn’t particularly concerned.

Anyway, he remembered one thing for sure: what he knew, Shutong Nian knew, and what he didn’t, Shutong Nian knew even more.

The man on the ground known as Second Young Master released the cloth and stood up, blocking Shutong Nian’s path.

"Master, what if you come back with me to have a look? If you can heal my son, I’ll pay you one hundred million Star Coins as compensation."

One hundred million Star Coins was tempting indeed, but Shutong Nian still shook her head in refusal.

"Second Young Master, you might ask Mister Eight-character Moustache, how much did the Starship I just sold go for?"

"I took a look for you out of consideration for your deep love for your son."

The Second Young Master glanced at Eight-character Moustache, who gestured a figure, and the Second Young Master was taken aback, indeed she was a master.

A master unconcerned about money was even more remarkable.

But, how could he keep her here?

Shutong Nian had originally wanted to make a profit, but after learning the Second Young Master’s identity, she thought better of it.

She looked back at Fu Yunhe and said, "Let’s go, we have other places to be."

Fu Yunhe followed suit, lifting his feet to keep up, and the three of them were about to leave.

Behind them, the Second Young Master felt he was missing something, a feeling that led him to follow.

When he caught up, Shutong Nian and the rest had reached the Starship about to depart the Black Market, preparing to embark on this Starship to a planet where they would transfer to another Starship destined for their goal.

"Master, we meet again."

"I’m actually heading home, my home is on Tata Jupiter."

The man thought that on the Starship, he could still fight for a while longer; what if it worked?

He wanted to seize that one in a million chance.

And hearing the man speak, Shutong Nian’s eyes twitched slightly.

Tata Jupiter, wasn’t that her destination?

With an air of zen, Shutong Nian remarked, "We surely have fate."
