Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 100 - 73: What Her Master Left Behind

How Mu Yunchu came to know Luan Huacheng, he was not aware.

Right now, he didn’t have the time to explore this matter.

The only thing he knew was that it would be best to leave quickly today.

As a real estate mogul, the last thing he wanted was to offend these ’big shots’ in politics.

Especially since this big shot just so happened to be technically ’compatible’ with him.

Above ’money,’ there was ’power.’

Even if he was angry, he could only endure it.

Watching him leave in defeat, Luan Huacheng withdrew his gaze but did not mention anything about the former.

This indicated that he was not planning to solve Mu Yunchu’s problems right now.

Nor did he intend to make any promises.

Until Mu Yunchu practically solved his ’troubles,’ he wouldn’t do anything that was a lot of effort for little reward.

If, in the end, she didn’t have enough capability, it would lose some meaning in building connections.

So after bidding farewell to Mu Yunchu, Luan Huacheng just confirmed the time for her afternoon arrival and left with Rong Mulan.

Just before turning back into the store, Mu Yunchu paused, glancing at the shop across the street.

Beside her came Li Shang’s voice.

"Seems like we haven’t seen the manager from the shop across for days now."

"Did something happen at their home?"

Previously, Mu Yunchu had prophesied that troubles were looming at their home and even left a phone number for them.

But now the person hasn’t appeared, and there hasn’t been a single call.

"Maybe they don’t believe you."

Mu Yunchu collected her expression.

If that’s the case, then it’s their fate. Mu Yunchu can’t interfere.

Retrieving the IOU her master had signed, she held it in her hand, and the next moment, the IOU ignited without wind and turned to ashes in an instant.

"We have important things to do."

She clapped her hands.

She contacted the bank from when she first took over the shop, having previously learned her master left some items in the bank’s safety deposit box.

Items so inscrutable that even she couldn’t calculate them.

Now it was time for the truth to emerge.

Informing the bank personnel that she had repaid the debt and was eligible to retrieve the items, the man on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After more than half a minute, he finally spoke again.

"I understand, Miss Mu."

"I will arrive within half an hour."

Having finished speaking, the other party hung up.

Not giving Mu Yunchu a chance to refuse or ask any questions.

Since the phone was on speaker, Li Shang heard the entire conversation as well.

"Is the bank’s service always this good on your side?"

Earlier, the bank had personally come to collect the debt.

Now they could even bring the safety deposit box to the doorstep.

"He wouldn’t really carry that giant thing here, would he?"

Li Shang had seen safes on TV dramas.

Even slightly bigger ones were extremely heavy.

She knew less than Mu Yunchu did and simply mocked the situation, thinking it was all too much.

But Mu Yunchu felt she might soon learn something important.

Something related to her master.

Li Shang saw that Mu Yunchu didn’t have the intention to answer her, not taking it seriously, merely kept stuffing chocolate beans into her mouth.

Speaking so engrossedly, one or two beans slipped and rolled onto the ground.

A very determined little creature was crawling desperately towards them.

Just as the little creature extended an arm, about to grasp the chocolate, its body suddenly lost weight, picked up by the neck and lifted into the air.

"Finally willing to show yourself?"

Above, was Mu Yunchu’s typically icy voice.

The little thing in her hand had arms and legs, but was only about the size of a plush keychain doll.

Suspended in midair, it shook as if about to fling its limbs off.

Simultaneously, Li Shang and Wangcai gathered around.

The former was curious, the latter wagged its tail and circled excitedly like finding a new playmate.

"Boss, you say this is the drought demon that fought us all day?"

Her voice was full of disbelief.

After all, that big guy nearly beat her half to death before.

And now it appeared so tiny and cute.

Without exaggeration, she could kill it with a single finger.

"Yes."

When leaving Tianbao Village, this thing followed, and Mu Yunchu had already detected it.

But she didn’t show alarm and wanted to see what exactly the drought demon intended to do.

After waiting so long, it hadn’t made any move.

Hence this scene unfolded.

Li Shang’s expression was slightly complex.

"Could it be following us just for the snacks?"

While speaking, she extended the chocolate beans towards the drought demon.

Sure enough, it seemed visibly more excited than just a moment ago. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Wow... so it really is." Li Shang muttered to herself, her hands not stopping as teasing the drought demon felt quite amusing to her.

"Has this drought demon mutated or something, now it eats human food?"

Feeling Mu Yunchu’s gaze, she looked up and indeed found the other party watching her.

That look seemed to say: Aren’t you also eating human food?

"I’m different." Li Shang retorted, "In life, I was at least human."

Though chocolate beans didn’t exist back then, there were similar sweets.

She teased a little longer.

Until several seconds later, deliberately slowing her hand’s retraction. The hard-working drought demon finally embraced the chocolate bean.

Li Shang suddenly had some concern.

"Will it transform back to its original form once full, should we seize the chance to kill it now?"

Her expression openly conveyed her desire to ’consume’ the drought demon.

Mu Yunchu lightly tapped her on the forehead.

Leaving only two words.

"Not possible."

This drought demon hadn’t done anything bad, and at the moment had no ability to harm.

Seeing Li Shang’s somewhat disappointed look, Mu Yunchu added, "Weren’t you always complaining about the shop lacking workforce?"

She blinked slowly and only after a while realized Mu Yunchu’s intention.

She quickly agreed.

But soon regretted it.

Because Li Shang never expected that after agreeing to keep the drought demon, she would be the one tasked with taking care of it.

Feeling like crying to the heavens: "Simply bullying a ghost!"

*

During the last agreed time on the phone, the shop bell chimed.

A young silver-haired man, seemingly no more than twenty, stood at the entrance.

In his hand, he held a wooden box.

Not large, just slightly bigger than his palm.

His other hand held a thermos cup of goji berries.

Overall, he appeared utterly mismatched.

"Miss Mu... is it here?"

"I’m here to deliver items from the safe deposit box."
