"Ah, I have already seen your fate. Now, let me reverse destiny for you!"
As the conversation ended, Fu Lin, standing at the edge of the crowd, was already full of question marks. He couldn't describe the feeling inside him—something between confusion and an urge to expose the fraud.
But this voice... this familiar tone... Who else could it be but Fu Shi?!
Since it was Fu Shi, he could only spoil her. Besides, she was making quite a profit.
Fu Lin couldn't hold back a chuckle. The corners of his mouth, hidden under his mask, slowly curled up as he thought to himself
"It really is fate between me and Fu Shi, to run into her even here... Hehehe~"
----------------------------------
Fu Shi pushed the round black sunglasses on her face, squinted her eyes, and glanced at Black Kite (chicken evolved to phoenix) sleeping at the stall before delivering a punch to its head.
"Chirp!" Who?!
"Chirp Chirp Chirp!" How dare you ambush me!
The sleeping phoenix was jolted awake from its dream, clutching its head in pain. It swept its sharp gaze around, then locked eyes with Fu Shi, instantly sobering up.
"Chirp!" Great Herrscher of Sentience boss, what are your orders?
Fu Shi cleared her throat, glanced apologetically at the generous and beautiful patron, then quickly grabbed Black Kite's dumb hair and, through telepathic communication, threatened,
'Ahem, Black Kite, get up and see the guests off. If I catch you slacking off again, I'm cutting your food expenses in half this month.'
"Chirp Chirp Chirp!" Boss, I'll see them off right away!
Black Kite got up from the table, flapped its short wings, and led the "generous and beautiful patron" out through a less crowded path.
Once they left the crowd, the Valkyrie squatted down, met Black Kite's gaze, stretched out her hands expectantly, and asked, "You're so cute! Can I hug you?"
"Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp!" I know I'm adorable, but I'm not that easy of a bird!
Black Kite shook its head and proudly lifted its head high.
Seeing this, the Valkyrie took out a small stack of bills from her bag and said, "I heard from my friend that as long as I tip, it's fine, right?"
When Black Kite saw the money in the Valkyrie's hands, its eyes immediately sparkled. It flapped its wings and flew into her arms, allowing her to pet it as much as she wanted.
"Chirp Chirp Chirp!" This lady has won me over with emotions.
After accepting the bills, Black Kite skillfully counted them, then carefully tucked them into its pocket, making sure Fu Shi wouldn't notice, before heading back to the stall.
While Black Kite was away, Fu Shi didn't remain idle. She jumped onto the table, looked at the dense crowd, and shouted,
"One last slot for today! If you want it, raise your hand! Let's see who will be today's lucky one!"
As soon as the words fell, the Valkyries frantically raised their hands, creating a scene of chaos and excitement. Seeing this, Fu Lin couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
At the stall, Fu Shi crossed her arms, scanning each Valkyrie's face, using her connection with her core.
Finally, her gaze settled on a hesitant figure at the back of the crowd. A smile curled at her lips.
"The customer at the very back wearing a mask and sunglasses, congratulations! You are today's chosen one!"
As the final selection was made, the noise abruptly died down, leaving only faint breathing sounds, creating an eerie silence.
The Valkyries followed Fu Shi's gaze and all turned to look at Fu Lin, who was completely dumbfounded.
Feeling the envious and jealous stares around him, Fu Lin swallowed nervously, then shuffled his way through the cleared path to the stall.
Seeing that he had arrived, Fu Shi sat back down, adjusted her sunglasses to hide the cunning glint in her eyes, and politely said, "Oh~ This customer looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting my little stall? How about this—I'll give you a 20% discount on fortune-telling and blessings. What do you think?"
Fu Lin looked at the tiny looking Fu Shi, clutching his pounding heart. He felt as if an arrow had struck it and subconsciously replied,
"Sure." As expected of Fu Shi, she was this cute even as a child (????w????).
Fu Shi started boasting, "Great! Then let the great me quickly calculate your entire life in a parallel world! Isn't that amazing?"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Fu Lin pretended to be astonished and clapped his hands, his eyes full of admiration. But then, he changed his expression, propped his chin on his hand, and said, "But I want to know about this world. Forget about my whole life—just tell me about my love life. How many lovers will I have?"
"Pfft!" Fu Shi was calmly drinking from a cup of water that Fu Hua had prepared, moistening her slightly dry throat, but upon hearing Fu Lin's words, she couldn't hold back and sprayed the water out.
"Is that not allowed?"
Fu Lin lowered his head to dodge the spray, listening to the whispers of the Valkyries behind him.
The corner of his lips curled up as he let out a quiet laugh.
"You dare?!" Fu Shi slammed the table, eyes burning with anger, but upon hearing the laughter from Fu Lin, she immediately realized she had been tricked.
"Ahem, I mean, you sure have some guts. Having one is already a blessing."
"Besides, the fate of this world is not to be revealed, but parallel worlds are different. Not only do they show the choices you make, but they also reveal the outcomes of your future."
"As the saying goes, 'knowing the past to predict the present,' understanding your life in a parallel world can be a great inspiration to you now!"
Fu Lin watched Fu Shi trying so hard to explain and struggled to hold back his laughter. He said, "That actually makes some sense. Say a bit more, and I might just believe you."
"You, you…! How could I possibly lie to you? Alright then, I'll give you a 30% discount. Is that good enough?!"
Fu Shi furrowed her brows, clenched her fists, and glared at Fu Lin, her face flushed with frustration, clearly reaching her limit.
Fu Lin knew when to stop teasing, so he nodded and said, "Since you put it that way, let's do it."
