Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 86 - 59: The Three-Month Deadline

Seeing Li Shang looking over, Mu Yunchu raised an eyebrow to the side.

Following her gaze, it was the Flower Lily that had already bloomed before they left, quietly blossoming in the corner of the courtyard.

At first glance, it seemed no different from ordinary flowers aside from its beauty.

However, upon closer inspection, one could notice a mist emitting in tiny dots around it.

Mu Yunchu said nothing, walked to the wall of the courtyard, tore off the Yellow Talisman stuck on it, and began to activate it with spiritual power.

"This is a Memory Charm."

It can clearly record the scenes occurring in the courtyard over a period of time.

In an instant, a projection-like image quietly appeared in mid-air.

In the image, two men dressed in black clothing, wearing baseball caps, and sporting pure black masks were sneakily breaking the lock on the outer door.

As they opened the door, the guns tucked at their waists appeared in their line of sight.

"This..."

Li Shang had seen those things in short dramas.

They are a kind of long-range weapon of this era, very powerful, and if one is hit in a vital area, there’s a good chance they won’t be saved.

But if she remembered correctly, "Isn’t this thing explicitly prohibited in this country?"

Mu Yunchu didn’t comment on her question.

Nonetheless, wherever you go, there will always be forces hidden in the shadows.

The only thing they were certain of was that these two were likely assassins sent by Jing Anjun.

Whether it was from the adept lock-picking as they entered or their movements as they covered each other’s entry, from a side perspective, it was clear that these people were on a completely different level from the small-time thugs from before.

It seems that last time’s live broadcast had truly aroused his murderous intent.

So when she saw they had already succeeded in entering the house, Li Shang unconsciously broke into a sweat.

However, what she didn’t expect was that in the next second, those two suddenly stood still on the spot. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Their gaze was vacant, staring straight ahead, with nothing unusual happening around them, just standing there motionless.

After a full half hour, they turned around and left.

Just left?

Li Shang’s mouth dropped open, "What kind of situation is this?"

"They came in, so why didn’t they do anything and just left?"

Mu Yunchu explained with a faint smile, "Because the Flower Lily can release a scent that bewilders one’s mind."

Upon sensing these two, it would activate its defense mechanism.

"The scent not only induces illusions, but different people may experience different situations because of it. Such as fear, losing their way, or even thinking they’ve already completed their mission."

As she was about to finish speaking, Mu Yunchu curled her lips. Under the illumination of the Flower Lily behind her and the moonlight overhead, there was inexplicably a hint of mischief.

But when Li Shang blinked, that feeling vanished, as if it was her illusion.

She suddenly understood:

"So you’re saying, those two thought they had completed their mission, so they just left?"

Mu Yunchu nodded.

But in reality, the Flower Lily’s abilities were not limited to this.

Clearly, those two hadn’t shown the strength to make it continue to display its other abilities.

After listening to this, Li Shang’s gaze completely changed when she looked at the flower again.

Yet, she admired Mu Yunchu even more.

After all, it was she who planted this thing in advance.

But she wondered how Jing Anjun would react, thinking the assassins he hired had already taken them out, but then seeing her standing there unharmed.

Mu Yunchu suddenly remembered she forgot to tell Zhou Zhicheng something.

She quickly sent him a message.

To tell him why the people of Tianbao Village don’t grow crops, have no means of earning money, yet are still so wealthy.

...

What Mu Yunchu didn’t know was that just after they left Tianbao Village, 749 was already following the traces to find them.

Though the journey was far, two people with a combined age over a hundred came all the way from headquarters themselves.

And they brought quite a few elites from their units.

Even so, they were worried along the way, unsure whether they could successfully deal with the drought demon.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they were dumbfounded.

Not to mention the drought demon, there wasn’t even a trace of a single person left in the entire village.

But judging from various details, many people must have lived here for a long time before.

"Could it be that the drought demon took the villagers..."

Elder Wei didn’t finish his sentence, but the one across from him clearly understood his meaning.

The two fell silent, and neither spoke for a moment.

Until the team members discovered an anomaly during their nearby survey.

"Elder Wei, we found traces of the drought demon’s presence at the edge of a nearby cliff, and... and..."

"And what?" Elder Wei pressed eagerly.

"And traces of the Thunder Technique."

"What?" Elder Wei’s pupils trembled, lifting his arm, "Where? I want to see it!"

When he quickly followed the team member to the site, looking at the very ’fresh’ battle marks, he couldn’t help but stroke the ground.

He couldn’t help but murmur, "Such strong energy..."

According to instrument analysis, someone appeared to have defeated the present drought demon with the Thunder Technique.

Elder Wei felt conflicted, looking at his old partner, "Do you think the emergence of such a powerful being is good or bad?"

The latter was not as torn, "I only know that with her existence, the success rate of ’that matter’ will certainly increase greatly!"

But regardless of their considerations, they had to admit they were very curious about this ’mysterious person’!

Yet they also understood, such high-caliber individuals are usually reclusive.

Meeting one would depend entirely on fate, not force.

...

Zhou Zhicheng inhaled sharply upon seeing Mu Yunchu’s message.

He never imagined that such an inconspicuous village was hiding an ancient tomb?!

However, it also made it easy to understand where the money they used for ’transactions’ over the years came from.

After all, it wasn’t a small sum.

He quickly reported this to the local police.

Later, when the tomb was being excavated, it even made it on television.

But by then, Mu Yunchu was no longer concerned with it at all.

...

After this incident, though Mu Yunchu wasn’t left drained of energy, she needed to recuperate well and temporarily had no interest in rushing to start a live stream.

The main reason was that she already had enough money to repay the bank loan.

She didn’t need to push herself so hard anymore.

On the morning of the second day she returned to the shop, just as her store opened, Rong Mulan visited with a man and a woman.

And they brought the remaining one million reward they had promised.

While sincerely expressing their gratitude to her, they also purchased many talismans from the store.

So now her bank account had exactly two million, no more, no less, after removing the trailing zeros.

Before leaving, Rong Mulan left a message saying that if there’s anything she can help with in the future, she would do so without hesitation.

Yawning tiredly, Mu Yunchu lounged lazily in the rocking chair in the courtyard.

As the season changed, green leaves turned yellow and gradually fell.

Time flew by in a blink, more than a month had passed since she took over the store three months ago.

Because Mu Yunchu hadn’t appeared online all this time, people suspected something might have happened to her.

Jing Anjun, in particular, believed deeply in the assassins’ ’report’.

Firm in the belief that Mu Yunchu had already been killed.

When the three-month deadline came, he eagerly arrived at the store with people and bank officials.

Waiting to effortlessly add this piece of land to his assets.
