Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 299 - 272: They Came into My Dreams to Scold Me
In the dynasty where Li Shang used to live, he had never seen hard labor at work, at most just the house servants doing their daily tasks. So he didn’t quite understand what state these workers should be in.
He just assumed that since they took the job, they must be confident. Surely, it wouldn’t be a situation where after carrying the rebar twice, they half-squat on the ground, panting heavily.
Although he wasn’t taking advantage of the situation, Li Shang himself was very much looking forward to this haunted house, so he wanted them to finish the work quickly.
Today, he talked to Mu Yunchu, hoping she might have some good ideas, or if worse comes to worst, to replace the batch of workers.
Mu Yunchu thought he was being a bit too hasty.
"The foundation must be solid for the building above to be sturdy."
For some reason, Li Shang felt there was another meaning in her words. He was stunned for a few seconds, pondering how to respond.
Then she added, "If it really doesn’t work, just take those ghosts from before."
"Hmm???"
Li Shang blinked.
Realizing she was talking about those on the bus.
Although Mu Yunchu had already explained that after the haunted house is built, she would invite them to act as NPCs, Li Shang’s strong aura had frightened them so much they dared not approach.
So basically, whenever Li Shang was around, they would scurry off to other places.
Avoiding to stay in the same space with him as much as possible.
But now that Mu Yunchu had brought it up, Li Shang felt there must be a very significant reason behind it.
"Alright, I’ll go catch them one by one today."
With that, her speed of eating sped up significantly.
And once she finished, she rushed out immediately.
...
Exciting news reached Matsuboto this morning.
The array they had set up had not only officially started operating but had also begun to show some effects.
Although the effects weren’t as apparent as initially imagined, he knew these things couldn’t be rushed.
Since the preparations had taken so long, a bit longer wouldn’t hurt. After all, he had plenty of time.
Seeing a rare smile break through his usually solemn face, the woman beside him unconsciously curved her lips too.
"I noticed the workers had already entered the site."
"Judging by the materials delivered, the building is presumably quite large."
This indicates that more people will eventually come to this building. Consequently, the array can absorb more spiritual energy.
After saying all this, Matsuboto merely deepened his smile without much reaction. She understood that everything was already within his expectations.
With her eyes full of admiration, she leaned in more closely.
"So, you’ve had this all planned out."
Matsuboto said, "Of course."
Ever since Luan Huacheng continually blocked others from claiming that piece of land, he had been seeking alternative ways.
Since he couldn’t harness the Spirit Vein for his own use, destroying it was an easier option.
He even consulted Master Li, coming up with this plan.
A nation has its fortune, as do individuals.
Anyone appearing there would gradually have their fortune absorbed by the array and transferred to their country.
Over time, this city would undoubtedly worsen, while their nation would thrive from this immutable balance of gain and loss.
It may seem like he just altered that area slightly, and the results might not be astonishing.
But what if every city had one?
No one dislikes outstanding individuals.
Especially when this individual significantly aids their aligned nation.
When she herself is a voluptuous beauty, many things naturally come to fruition.
...
Mu Yunchu unexpectedly ran into Wen Xu while heading out today.
Even though they lived in the same city, it seemed they had never coincidentally crossed paths near her shop.
Upon seeing his face, Mu Yunchu felt as though he might recently have encountered some trouble.
"Want to come in for a cup of tea?"
She specifically had Li Shang teach Ye Zhixia some tea-brewing skills before heading out each day.
Although the time was short, and couldn’t compare with his, it was still better than Mu Yunchu’s own brewing.
Even Wen Xu, who normally didn’t pay much heed to tea, nodded unconsciously after taking a sip.
But now, he wasn’t particularly in the mood to dwell on these things.
"Forensic expert Wen seems to be having a rough time recently."
When Mu Yunchu noticed his empty cup, she poured in some more tea.
Smiling lightly, she said, "I see you’re entangled with romance and face peril."
Wen Xu: "..."
Noticeably, he became more reticent than before.
Knowing Mu Yunchu could see right through him, and aware that everything she mentioned was true, he hesitated to bring up the so-called ’peril’ immediately.
He appeared unaffected by this matter.
Yet seemed to ponder on how to begin.
But just as he intended to speak, the wind chimes at the shop entrance jingled.
This signaled the arrival of a customer.
Ye Zhixia, sprinting in, interrupted their continuation of the conversation.
"Boss, someone wants a fortune-telling."
After Mu Yunchu granted her approval, he brought in a woman in her twenties.
She glanced at Wen Xu, who showed no intent of leaving.
Mu Yunchu then invited the woman to explain her troubles.
The woman seemed aware of Mu Yunchu’s reputation, and although she was currently baffled by some confounding issues and momentarily surprised at the sight of Wen Xu, she quickly got over it.
Ever since her live streams began, Li Shang had been with Mu Yunchu. Even after starting several live sessions, he could still be seen. Those who watched her streams were familiar with them.
And as for Ye Zhixia, that’s a given.
When he came to the shop, it was under the scrutiny of tens of thousands of viewers.
Furthermore, later purchases made it clear that the customer service behind them was him.
Hence, the online audience was well acquainted with these two individuals.
However...
Wen Xu wasn’t part of their perceived list.
Could this mean he’s just another guest seeking fortune-telling like herself?
These thoughts surfaced at once but soon vanished from her mind.
After all, now wasn’t the time for distractions.
Most likely another customer.
Li Moli thought so, and then promptly sat opposite him at Mu Yunchu’s invitation.
"Master..."
With just a single glance, Mu Yunchu noticed the deep, persistent dark aura around her glabella.
Even more intense than Wen Xu’s.
What was going on today?
Why were both people she met this morning surrounded by omens of death? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Despite these thoughts, her expression remained calm as she inquired about the person’s situation.
Li Moli said, "I had a really strange dream."
"In the dream, I saw my deceased family members."
"At first, I couldn’t hear them clearly, but as time passed, now I can distinctly tell they are scolding me."
