The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 658 - 554 Ying Zijin, she is truly a god [2 updates]
Chapter 658: 554 Ying Zijin, she is truly a god [2 updates]
Even if you’re lucky enough to buy real Tarot Cards, without guidance from a true Fortune Teller, you still won’t be able to divine anything meaningful.
Before Huan came to Hua Country, the elders of the Hershel Family had warned him about the Divination Circle here, telling him to be very cautious.
In divination, regardless of whether O continent had experienced the witch trials or not, they could not compete with The East.
If he offended a Fortune Teller here, not even the Hershel Family could protect him.
However, Huan also knew that the powerful Fortune Tellers in Hua Country were all old men and women who formed their own circles, and they generally did not make public appearances.
Would he actually encounter one?
Wen Tinglan looked up and rarely smiled, a cold one, "Huan, how many faces do you have? Not enough to get slapped?"
Huan’s expression froze, recalling the live broadcast from the morning, and his face instantly turned so dark that it seemed water could drip from it.
He clenched his teeth, filled with unwillingness.
This brother and sister pair, they clearly came to get him.
"Sis, you play." Wen Tinglan had naturally interacted with students from the Astrology System, and he knew a bit about Tarot Cards, "What do you predict?"
Ying Zijin replied nonchalantly, "I’ll predict your romantic fortune."
Wen Tinglan: "..."
He didn’t really want that.
But Adele became interested, "Sister, did you get a reading? Is it me?"
"Adele, that’s fake!" Huan was frantic, "They don’t know, but how could you not?"
If everyone had an astrology talent, wouldn’t they all be enrolled in Norton University’s Astrology System?
Adele rolled her eyes, "What’s it to you?"
Huan was so irritated he was at a loss for words.
By this time, Ying Zijin had already turned all the cards face up.
Huan glanced over casually.
An upright The Tower, a reversed Magician, and the last one was Judgement in the reversed position.
None of the cards had good implications.
They denoted incomplete success and inability to recover from setbacks.
This, and she’s predicting Wen Tinglan’s romantic fortune?
Huan scoffed lightly, no longer looking, and he went back to his hotel.
In her room, Ying Zijin put away the cards and raised an eyebrow.
She wasn’t predicting Wen Tinglan’s romantic fortune, but rather the events that would befall Huan the next day.
Adele also noticed these three ominous cards and her mood immediately fell, "Sister, these cards?"
"I can’t read them, don’t take it seriously," Ying Zijin said as she pulled out a lollipop, "My dad’s cooking is really good, you’re welcome to visit our home."
After eating the lollipop, Adele forgot what she wanted to ask.
She took out the rest of the gold bricks and happily distributed them to Li Han and the others.

At night.
The Ji Family.
Within the villa district.
After dinner, Ying Zijin stood on the open-air balcony to enjoy the breeze.
Her cell phone vibrated twice at this moment.
[Di Wu Yue]: Miss, news from the Divination Circle has it that a water snake has awakened in the Cold Pool of the mountain, as thick as a big tree, highly venomous, and it’s estimated to have lived for a hundred years, possessing considerable intelligence, its strength comparable to that of an ancient martial artist with sixty years of cultivation.
[Di Wu Yue]: They’re going there tomorrow afternoon to join forces to kill it, to prevent the snake from harming the public. Grandpa told me to go along for training, Miss, will you join?
Ying Zijin slightly narrowed her eyes and replied.
[Yeah, I’ll be there.]
That mountain was also the one behind the tourist spot Huan had selected.
Of course, legendary creatures like the Snake Dragon and Phoenix don’t exist on Earth as people imagine.
But there indeed are some creatures that haven’t been documented.
Most of these creatures live deep under the sea, in places unreachable even by submarines.
For this lake to nurture such a robust water snake, it’s considered a feng shui treasure spot.
A treasure spot naturally contains rare medicinal herbs, ores, or other scarce items.
There’s no reason to say no to that.
The Diviners’ excitement was not so much because of the awakening of the water snake but because of the natural treasures there.
As Ying Zijin pondered, her waist was embraced from behind.
The man’s palm was warm, and his fingertips seemed to hold magic power, sparking a flurry of electric currents.
Ying Zijin held his hand, "No hugging here, it tickles."
"Hmm? Tickle spot?" Fu Yunshen didn’t tease her but changed his position, "How did I do today?"
"Hmm—" Ying Zijin paused and turned her head slightly, "Aren’t you afraid of being recognized?"
Even though Fu Yunshen was wrapped up very tightly and had even used the Bone Shrinking Skill from the Ancient Martial Arts Secret Manual to slightly change his height, it was still not safe.
After all, netizens are very sharp-eyed.
They could identify a real person from a blurry photo.
"How could that be?" Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, his voice drawing out, "Yaoyao, I’m also a half-baked Face-changing Artist. If I get recognized, wouldn’t that be all for nothing?"
Ying Zijin leaned on the balcony, her demeanor lazy, "The Officer is quite impressive."
"The New Year is coming soon." Fu Yunshen rubbed her head, "Time really flies fast, Elder Mu said that he wants to invite you to the Mu family for the New Year’s celebration."
"Yeah." Ying Zijin didn’t refuse, "I’m okay with that."

The next day,
Huan made thorough preparations.
Since today was for leisure, the production team did not follow, but they would resume new live broadcasts tomorrow.
This tourist spot wasn’t famous, but there was a sacred site for taking pictures, where many visitors queued up for photos.
"Let’s go have some fun over there," Huan coughed twice, pretending to be casual, "It’s too crowded here to have much fun."
Adele, Ying Zijin, and Li Han didn’t come today.
The other two students from Norton University naturally followed Huan’s lead and agreed.
Wen Tinglan also nodded his head in assent.
An upperclassman from Imperial Capital University didn’t want to go at first, but seeing Wen Tinglan agreeing, he frowned and stood up, "Little brother, I’ll go with you."
During the few days of shooting the show together, they had all noticed Huan always targeting Wen Tinglan.
Who knew what could happen?
Huan frowned.
He only wanted to leave Wen Tinglan behind, not to involve ordinary people.
But he had no way to refuse, and could only take these few people to the back of the mountain.
Acting as if he didn’t know the way, Huan glanced at the coordinates on his phone, leading Wen Tinglan towards the cold pool.
"Huan, don’t you feel a bit cold?" a male student beside him rubbed his hands, "Let’s go back, it’s too quiet here."
Huan remained unconcerned and used reverse psychology, "The tasks of the action department often involve going to uninhabited regions, what’s this in comparison?"
The male student fell silent.
Indeed, it was nothing compared to the tasks from Norton University.
Two hours later, the group arrived by a lake.
The temperature had dropped even lower, and the surroundings were even quieter.
Huan’s eyes narrowed.
This was the place.
Mist hovered over the lake surface, obscuring the view.
Wen Tinglan’s expression became slightly tense.
"Sssss!"
Suddenly, a very creeping sound arose.
At the same moment, with a "buzz," a water column rolled up from the lake surface.
A snake dragon, fifteen meters long, appeared before their eyes.
It had green vertical pupils, menacing and haunting.
Everyone was shocked.
They stared dumbfounded at the thick snake dragon, collectively forgetting to act.
The word "The Legend of the White Snake" popped into the senior’s mind abruptly, deeply doubting whether he was watching a TV drama.
Otherwise, how could such a huge snake appear?!
Only Huan remained composed, sneering inwardly.
This was the desired effect; this snake could definitely leave Wen Tinglan behind.
But before he could act according to the plan, suddenly, the snake dragon hissed again.
"Sssss—"
It opened its mouth and unexpectedly sprayed out a green viscous venom.
Where the venom landed, all the plants withered away.
At this, Huan’s expression changed drastically, his face gradually turning pale.
This was bad!
He had miscalculated!
Indeed, because they were too far away, the fortune teller from the Hershel Family hadn’t foreseen the snake dragon’s power far exceeded their control.
Killing Wen Tinglan was one thing, but today he probably wouldn’t escape with his own life.
This was not good at all.
Huan gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, turning to run.
As he ran away, he didn’t forget to push Wen Tinglan.
The snake dragon was right in front, and if Wen Tinglan was eaten by it, he would have a chance to escape.
The snake dragon sprayed venom again.
Before coming, Wen Tinglan had already taken a pill given to him by Ying Zijin.
After knocking the senior unconscious, he also fed him a pill.
Before the snake dragon could launch another attack, Wen Tinglan had already hoisted the senior onto his back and moved to the side.
Huan not only failed to push successfully but also fell to the ground himself.
The snake dragon sprayed venom once again.
Huan let out a terrible scream, collapsing on the ground, screeching, "My arm! My arm!"
His entire arm was gradually corroded by the venom sprayed by the snake dragon, the wound so deep it showed bone.
The other two students from Norton University were nearly in despair.
They were clueless about Huan and the Hershel Family’s plan.
They were all barely adults, with too little experience in practical classes, never having encountered such a situation.
Norton University kept some wild beasts to increase the survival probability of the students joining the action department later on missions in deserts or rainforests.
But they were only sophomores and had not yet participated in such missions.
What should they do?
Just as the two were in a state of panic, suddenly, the snake dragon stopped its attack.
As if sensing a greater threat, it slowly lifted its head, the green eyes fixating in one direction.
At the same time, a calm and indifferent voice fell.
"I said it was dangerous here, not to come."
"If you come, be prepared to lose your life."
On the lake surface, a girl stepped forward, one step at a time.
Walking as if on flat ground, without leaving a trace in the water.
