Chapter 649: 651, get lost before I take action. (Second update)

Today’s journey.

It made Chu Jin deeply realize the importance of money.

Suddenly.

Chu Jin’s gaze fell upon a fortune-teller’s booth.

The fortune-teller was a very young man.

The tools for divination were a deck of playing cards.

A deep blue cover.

Barely had Chu Jin’s eyes touched upon that deck of cards when three words flashed through her mind.

Tarot cards.

In that strange stone house, there was such a deck of Tarot cards.

It seemed the same, yet not quite the same.

Chu Jin always felt that her Tarot cards looked better than others.

Right then.

The young man laid out a Universal type spread.

The one who came for divination was also a young man.

He asked the question, "Is my current girlfriend really the one I will marry in the future?"

To come for divination with such a question, it seemed that this young man had quite a distrust of his own girlfriend.

The card the young man drew as his bottom card was ’The Lovers’.

At first, Chu Jin listened to the fortune-teller’s explanations and couldn’t really find any fault, but as it went on, her brows knitted more tightly.

If that fortune-teller had interpreted the correct meaning of the cards, that would have been fine!

Even if he was wrong, it wouldn’t matter much as long as he didn’t mess with the couple.

However, Chu Jin detected deliberate provocative language in the fortune-teller’s interpretation. Every word he uttered was laced with denigration towards that unnamed woman. Clearly, he intended to break up the couple.

Unfortunately, the young man was rather foolish.

He actually took it for truth! So angry he trembled all over, by the looks of it, he wished he could go back and give his girlfriend a beating to vent his anger.

If this continued, the loving couple would part ways due to the fortune-teller’s instigation.

"Young man," the fortune-teller said with feigned wisdom, "don’t blame me for speaking harshly, your girlfriend, a fickle and frivolous woman, is even looser than the girls known for their coquettishness; she doesn’t deserve you."

"See this card?"

The fortune-teller pointed to ’The Lovers’ card and said, "The Lovers in reverse, this means that the two of you are simply not compatible. And look, the couple pictured on the card are naked, which signifies that a third party has come into play. If I’m not mistaken, every night when you go back, you can smell another man on your girlfriend, can’t you?"

The young man’s face showed shock as he looked at the fortune-teller and nodded repeatedly, "Master, you’re truly divine! You’re right, that bitch! How dare she betray me, I’ll skin her when I get back!"

Chu Jin couldn’t hold back anymore, stood up from her seat, walked over to the two, glanced at the Tarot cards on the table, and spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Master, you look quite young, how can you tell such blatant lies? This ’The Lovers’ card is clearly in the upright position, how did you make it out to be ’in reverse’? You wouldn’t happen to have poor vision, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the fortune-teller quickly looked up, about to explode in anger, but seeing that his accuser was a great beauty, he immediately put on a different face, all smiles as he said, "Beautiful lady, you must have seen it wrong. This card is clearly in reverse. I am a fortune-teller, how could I make a mistake? You must be mistaken."

With that, he reached out to take the card from the table.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jin was quicker, extending her slender fingertips and pressing the card down, her eyebrows slightly lifting as she said, "If the master didn’t make a mistake, then why the hurry to take the card back?"

The color drained from the fortune-teller’s face as he forcefully tried to pull the card away and found that he couldn’t budge it.

The girl, who appeared fragile and delicate, turned out to be quite strong.

That made sense, after all, who in the Superpower World was truly an ordinary person?

She just kept pressing down on that card, no matter how hard he tried, the card remained immovable.

Chu Jin casually picked up ’The Lovers’, her lips curving into a slight smile as she began to speak, "The Lovers in the upright position, set against the backdrop of the story of Adam and Eve, express the true essence of love, a card filled with hope and vitality,"

As she said this, Chu Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, her tone pausing, looking toward the young man as she continued.

"The reverse position, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. Sir, I suppose you and your girlfriend have reached the stage of discussing marriage, haven’t you?"

Seeing that Chu Jin was quite beautiful and spoke logically, the young man quickly nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn’t expect that bitch to dare to betray me!"

At this point, the young man’s face was full of anger, and he was visibly shaking.

"Don’t get worked up just yet, don’t believe in one-sided words and assume that your girlfriend has betrayed you," Chu Jin said calmly, then continued, "You’ve known each other for over four years, could that not compare to a stranger you’ve only met once?"

"Oh, wait." Chu Jin’s smile deepened at the corners of her mouth, gaining a somewhat mischievous tone, "I shouldn’t say stranger, after all, this fortune-teller grew up with your girlfriend, always regarding her as the goddess of his heart. Alas, the King was willing, but the muse was unresponsive..."

At this, the young man’s face changed slightly, turning to look at the fortune-teller with an evaluative gaze.

The fortune-teller was breaking out in a cold sweat, his face turning pale.

Because Chu Jin’s description was pinpoint accurate—it was a story of love turning to hate when it was unrequited. The fortune-teller wanted to destroy the happiness of the woman he couldn’t have.

To put it in one sentence, what I can’t have, nobody else shall have.

Love.

It didn’t just drive women mad.

Men.

Were no exception.

The young man steadied his mind and then asked, "So, what’s the deal with me smelling other men on her?"

Chu Jin extended her hand and gently patted the fortune-teller’s shoulder twice.

It seemed like she didn’t use much force, but with each pat, the fortune-teller’s body shrank a bit, until he collapsed onto the chair next to him, his face utterly bloodless, a ghastly pale.

Chu Jin revealed a harmless, enchanting smile, her dimples showing slightly, "This, you’ll have to ask him."

"I, I, I..." The fortune-teller completely lost his nerve, having planned this scheme for many days, never imagining that in the end, it would be ruined by a young girl, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I slipped hallucinating powder into her work meal, causing you to have hallucinations..."

So, it was all a setup by the fortune-teller.

The young man’s girlfriend had in fact never betrayed him.

"Scumbag!" The young man, fuming, swung his fist and beat the fortune-teller until his face was bruised and swollen.

He had almost misunderstood the person he loved most dearly.

He had nearly lost his reason.

"Miss, thank you," after beating up the fortune-teller, the young man thanked Chu Jin very politely.

"You’re welcome," Chu Jin said with a slight smile, "take good care of your girlfriend, she’s a good woman. Never do anything to make her sad or despair. Lastly, I wish you both happiness."

Perhaps it had something to do with that peculiar dream, but Chu Jin hoped that all lovers under heaven could find their happily ever after.

The young man pulled out the money that was on the fortune-teller’s table and drew a few more bills from his wallet, handing them all to Chu Jin, "Miss, you are the real fortune-teller. If it weren’t for you today, I might’ve done something foolish. This fee should rightfully be paid to you; please be sure to accept it."

Chu Jin didn’t refuse, taking the money the young man handed her with a slight smile, "Thank you."

This was the first pot of gold she had earned after coming down the mountain.

Through this incident, Chu Jin had confirmed her future goal to make a living.

Starting tomorrow.

She too would become a fortune-teller.

Yep.

She happily made up her mind like that.

With cash in hand, Chu Jin returned to the tea stand in high spirits, even willingly paying for the tea.

Jian Yi was taking a call around the corner and hadn’t come back yet.

Chu Jin counted the money in her hand.

A total of three thousand in cash.

After paying for the tea just now, she was left with two thousand nine hundred seventy-eight.

According to her observations along the way,

Two thousand and seventy-eight could probably support her for about 5 days in this place.

Chu Jin had a very good impression of the Superpower World.

The people here were very kind; when Chu Jin paid for the tea, the warmly inviting proprietress gave her a discount.

Overall, Chu Jin had an extremely positive impression of the Superpower World.

Walking down the street, even strangers would greet each other.

Toddlers walking on their own didn’t need to fear kidnappers.

This indicated that the ruler here was a wise one.

When Jian Yi came back from his call, he saw Chu Jin holding the money and counting it.

"Where did you get the money?" Jian Yi sat down, took a sip of tea, and a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.

Chu Jin put the money into her backpack, "Earned it."

Earned it?

The corners of Jian Yi’s mouth curled with a hint of sarcasm.

Was it not the case that while he was away, an accomplice had brought her the money?

As if she could earn thousands of dollars in a mere ten or so minutes?

Let alone thousands of dollars—even dozens of dollars would be beyond her grasp, wouldn’t they?

Believe that if you will—

Who would?

After Chu Jin put the money in her bag, she seemed to remember something and reopened the bag, taking out two bills and handing them to Jian Yi, "This is for you."

Jian Yi had bought her quite a few trinkets, and though they weren’t worth much, it was still clear they needed to be accounted for.

She didn’t want to owe Jian Yi anything.

Suddenly, Jian Yi found Chu Jin’s train of thought hard to follow.

According to typical behavior, wasn’t it better for her to entangle with him as much as possible?

Why was she so eager to set clear boundaries between them and even repay money?

Could this be another one of her counter-tactics?

Jian Yi took the money from her hand without a change in expression and put it in his pocket, "If we’re done drinking, let’s go."

"Hmm, let’s go," Chu Jin stood up and followed behind Jian Yi.

The two returned to the bustling street.

Just then, a black sedan with an overwhelming aura sped past them.

At the same time, Chu Jin glanced up slightly to see the car already at the intersection ahead, executing a beautiful drift before quickly vanishing from sight.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion or something else.

Chu Jin always felt that the person sitting in that car seemed incredibly important to her.

Unfortunately, with spiritual energy enhancing the windows and its high speed, she couldn’t see who was inside.

In a fleeting moment,

she thought she saw a wisp of silver hair.

"Who was in that car just now?" Chu Jin looked at Jian Yi.

Jian Yi watched the black car disappear, narrowed his eyes slightly with a fiery light flickering in his gaze, then lowered his eyes to Chu Jin and said with a stern tone, "Don’t meddle in others’ affairs. The person in that car is not someone you can afford to provoke!"

The warning in his words was very strong.

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, said nothing, and gazed at the corner of the intersection, her eyes filled with a thousand thoughts.

Who exactly was in the car?

That streak of silver hair seemed to overlap with the person in her dream.

For a moment, Chu Jin couldn’t quite distinguish between reality and dream.

"Let’s go," Jian Yi looked at her with a warning in his eyes, "Come back with me. There are many important people around here, try to go out less if it’s not necessary!"

With Chu Jin’s nature, she would definitely collide with these important people!

Moreover, Jian Yi realized that Chu Jin’s ambition was great.

First, she approached the master and his wife, gaining their trust, then she managed to have herself taken down the mountain with them.

After that, she used Jian Yi’s identity in the Superpower World to get close to that person.

But no one knew what her ultimate goal was.

The only certainty was that Chu Jin’s ambition was immense, and she was far from as simple as she seemed. He had to be extremely careful to avoid being used by her.

Because the person sitting in the car just now was—

the most respected man in the Superpower World.

Mo Zhixuan.

Out of all the cars on the street, she had to ask about that one.

Her intent was too obvious, wasn’t it?

Did she really think he was a fool who couldn’t see through her real thoughts?

Chu Jin withdrew her gaze and continued to follow behind Jian Yi, and soon, the two of them disappeared into the crowd.

**

The atmosphere inside the car was cold, as if encased in ice.

The man sat in the backseat, looking straight ahead without a glance aside, his silver hair full, his features as perfect as a sculpture made of ice, without a single flaw, his delicately shaped phoenix eyes slightly upturned, his thin lips tightly closed, almost invisible due to the force with which they were pressed together, exuding a chilling coldness.

Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, his pupils contracted, and he ordered the driver ahead, "Stop the car!"

The two icy words, like frost, caused a shiver in the heart.

"Tsk!" Hearing this, the driver quickly stepped on the clutch, leaving a long trail of brake marks on the ground.

The impact of the abrupt stop didn’t affect the man in the car.

He remained as stable as Mount Tai.

But the driver was not so lucky.

His head hit the steering wheel, seeing stars, and immediately a large bump formed on his forehead.

As soon as the car stopped, the man opened the door and ran in the direction they had come from, his gaze intense as if searching for someone. Unfortunately, in the vast sea of people, he couldn’t spot the figure that haunted his dreams.

"Brother-in-law, what’s wrong?" Chu Xiu also got out of the car.

After the man got out of the car, the kingly aura he was born with caused many passersby to gaze in awe and admiration.

It also resulted in traffic congestion.

"It’s nothing," Mo Zhixuan slowly withdrew his gaze, the hopeful light in his eyes gradually fading. He took a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, put them on, and concealed the unfathomable depths of his eyes.

After wearing the sunglasses, the pedestrians resumed their regular expressions and continued to walk forward. Now, when they looked at Mo Zhixuan, they didn’t see anything different from an ordinary person.

Traffic slowly returned to normal.

Mo Zhixuan moved through the crowd with a deep voice, "Just now, I thought... I saw Jin."

Chu Xiu didn’t speak, her mouth curling into a bitter smile.

A year had passed.

Mo Zhixuan still hadn’t accepted the fact that Chu Jin was dead and had never stopped searching for her.

Even, for the sake of Chu Jin, he had returned to the Superpower World.

Because Zi Qi said.

In a year, Chu Jin would surely appear in the Superpower World.

Now, as the year’s deadline approaches, there is still no news of Chu Jin.

That Zi Qi is simply a fraud.

Yet Mo Zhixuan believed without a doubt.

He even made Zi Qi the Great National Division.

"That’s right," Mo Zhixuan turned to look at Chu Xiu, "Have you had any news of Jin lately?"

"No." Chu Xiu shook her head, her eyes filled with bitterness.

Other than the path to the netherworld.

There probably isn’t anywhere else where Chu Jin could be found.

Mo Zhixuan stopped in his tracks, watching the people coming and going, his eyes hidden behind glasses were unreadable.

The year’s deadline is about to pass.

Why is there still no news of her?

Jin.

Where exactly are you?

After a long pause.

Mo Zhixuan looked into the distance, sighing deeply.

Just then, a breeze brought a swirl of peach blossom petals, which touched every passerby but strangely avoided Mo Zhixuan.

Not a single petal landed on him.

When Mu Xianxian, seated in the palanquin, saw Mo Zhixuan among the crowd, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly told her assistant, "Stop, stop now! Immediately!"

It had been several days since she last saw Mo Zhixuan.

At this moment, she was very excited.

Although Mo Zhixuan now had a head of silver hair, it did not detract from his looks; his features were still breathtaking.

They made one’s heart flutter.

Occupying the highest position and with extraordinary beauty, such a man was the dream husband for young women in the Superpower World.

Once the palanquin had settled, Mu Xianxian gathered her skirts and elegantly stepped out, walking gracefully towards Mo Zhixuan, "Zhixuan brother, what a coincidence to see you here."

Her voice was sweet, and she removed her veil from her face.

Mo Zhixuan didn’t even spare her a glance and turned to walk towards the car.

Mu Xianxian was not embarrassed and followed Mo Zhixuan’s footsteps, "Zhixuan brother, are you going to see Aunt Yuan? I’ll accompany you."

Mo Zhixuan continued to ignore her, his thin lips tightly pressed.

"Zhixuan brother, don’t walk so fast... wait for me." Mu Xianxian lifted her skirt and ran a little to keep up with him.

No sooner had Mo Zhixuan opened the car door and sat in the back seat, than Mu Xianxian also sat down inside, taking it for granted, feeling no impropriety.

Chu Xiu stepped forward, opened the car door, and said very politely, "I’m sorry, Miss Mu, would you mind getting out of the car? This is my seat."

Mu Xianxian snorted coldly, her lips curling up in a sneer, she petulantly said, "Then would you mind sitting in the passenger seat? This place is mine now!"

Chu Xiu really had no clue, believing himself to be someone of consequence even after Chu Jin had died—how dare he speak to her in such a manner!

Once she became the ninth lady.

The second one she would deal with would be Chu Xiu!

Mo Zhixuan slowly took off his sunglasses, eyeing Mu Xianxian with disgust, and uttered two cold words, "Get out!"

Mu Xianxian’s eyes suddenly reddened as if she had been greatly wronged, "Zhixuan brother, I..."

An icy glacier seemed to envelop Mo Zhixuan’s face, his deep eyes suddenly filled with killing intent as if he could dismember Mu Xianxian at any moment, and an overwhelming pressure rolled toward her.

"Get out before I make a move!"

Mu Xianxian shivered with fear, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly opened the door to get out of the car.

Ever since Mo Zhixuan returned to the Superpower World, his temper had become very irritable and unpredictable; no matter who it was or their status, if they upset him, their fate would not be a good one!

They would die horribly.

Watching a flustered Mu Xianxian, Chu Xiu’s lips curled up slightly. Thinking that someone like Mu Xianxian could replace her sister was laughable; she then opened the car door and got in.

After Chu Xiu got in, the black limousine shot away like an arrow released from its bow, quickly disappearing from Mu Xianxian’s sight.

Mu Xianxian wanted to explode with rage, her hands clenched her wide skirts, and stomped fiercely on the ground.

After kicking the greenery a few times in anger and realizing she was on the street, which was detrimental to her image as the number one beauty, she quickly raised her hand to cover her face with the veil again, masking her nearly distorted features, and stepped on the palanquin, "To the Chu Family! Hurry up!"

The bearers of the palanquin were no ordinary people, moving like shadows, they quickly arrived at the gate of the Chu Family.

When Mu Xianxian arrived, there was a black sedan parked in front of the Chu Family’s main courtyard, the same one that Mo Zhixuan had just ridden in.

He and Chu Xiu had already arrived at the Chu Family.

Mu Xianxian removed her veil, her lips curving into a fitting smile, she looked up and gazed quietly at the majestic courtyard before her, and then stepped inside.
