Chapter 161: 160, 2001 predictions, no bargaining! (2 updates)

Taoist Xia hurriedly turned off the loudspeaker on top of the suitcase and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This isn’t the song I like, it came with it..."

Yun Ran just quietly observed Taoist Xia, who seemed to be on the verge of breaking down, not understanding why one should care about the stares of others when it comes to their favorite music.

Perhaps it was Yun Ran’s too casual demeanor that made Taoist Xia feel he was overreacting.

He could only use a light cough to cover up his embarrassment: "It’s almost time, we should head to the departure hall."

With that said, Taoist Xia proceeded forward with rapid strides, the luggage silently following behind him, which Yun Ran found quite peculiar.

In the end, Yun Ran didn’t actually ride on the suitcase. It wasn’t that she was afraid of looking foolish, but simply because she was physically fit and walking a bit was nothing to her.

The departure hall was already quite crowded, even though it was a VIP area.

It was only when they went to register at the service counter that Yun Ran found out Taoist Xia’s real name was Han Dingqian.

"I heard the noodles over there are really delicious. Do you want some?"

After thinking it over, Taoist Xia added, "They’re free!"

Yun Ran initially wanted to say she had money, but why waste it here where the food is exorbitantly priced,

but when she heard it was free, she immediately waved her hand: "Bring me three bowls!"

"You can only have one bowl per person."

Yun Ran: ...

Alright, one bowl it is. Free is better than none.

When the noodles were served, Yun Ran noticed an envious gaze towards her, and turning her head, she saw it was a very skinny little boy.

His complexion was extremely pale, looking utterly unhealthy, as if he could keel over any minute.

The parents of the boy also met Yun Ran’s gaze, and immediately said apologetically, "I’m sorry, my child is just envious that you can eat so much."

Yun Ran looked at her table piled with snack bags and several instant noodle boxes.

Even though she knew they didn’t mean she ate a lot, Yun Ran still felt a bit implied.

Taoist Xia’s gaze suddenly darkened, in this free snack area, they should eat however they like!

Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Yun Ran’s gaze was fixed on a Protection Talisman hanging on the little boy.

He asked quietly, "What did you see?"

Yun Ran glanced at Taoist Xia’s eyes: "Don’t you have the Heavenly Eye yourself? Why pretend to be blind when you’re not really blind."

Taoist Xia was momentarily speechless: "I can’t just casually use the Heavenly Eye!"

If his eyes could see normally whenever he wished, why would he pretend to be blind.

Yun Ran: ...

People with such Talents who are also restricted are really pitiful, unlike her who casually creates, oh, right, she currently carries a Life Chart that is despised by the Heavenly Dao.

"That little brat is entangled by an evil spirit, and by tomorrow at the latest, he’s done for!"

Hearing this, Taoist Xia was alarmed, the audacity of the evil spirit was alarming.

He closed his eyes momentarily and then reopened them. Others couldn’t see, but Yun Ran saw what seemed to be a transparent film descending over his eyes, making his bright, Water Spirit-like eyes even more vibrant.

The Protection Talisman, which appeared to ensure safety, now in the eyes of Taoist Xia, had changed color, surrounded by plentiful dark energy.

That dark energy was evidently alive, brazenly invading the little boy’s body and eventually transforming into a sinister web that ensnared all his internal organs.

The dark energy, sensing that someone could see it, abruptly turned around; it had the vague shape of a small animal.

Despite this mass of dark energy lacking eyes, both Yun Ran and Taoist Xia were acutely aware that this wicked entity had set its sights on them, even carrying a vague sense of threat.

Taoist Xia burst out into a laugh of disbelief. Never in his life had he felt so speechless that he was being threatened by a formless evil entity!

However, he didn’t speak immediately; although they were Xuanmen people, they couldn’t solve every grievance.

Yun Ran glanced at the parents of the boy. There was no apparent karma on them; this was within their ability to help.

Having finished eating her noodles in a few bites, Yun Ran slowly approached the child’s parents.

Her tone serious: "My fortune-telling is very accurate. I only read three fortunes a day, each costing two thousand. Would you like me to read your son’s fortune? He can live for no more than one more day."

Taoist Xia, seeing Yun Ran intent on intervening in the matter before he could stop her, heard her frank words.

He was a bit shocked by her straightforwardness, couldn’t help but wonder if no one had ever flipped her table before?

With this tone, this price, this attitude, if she encountered someone with a temper, she would get beaten up, right?

At this moment, Taoist Xia felt there was still a large gap between him and Yun Ran; at least, he was not so prone to seeking death.

Upon hearing these words, the face of the boy’s parents changed immediately, their eyes looking fiercely at Yun Ran.

As parents, they knew their child was in poor health, but they could not accept someone saying their child would die young.

The evil entity, wrapped in dark energy, feeling the pressure from Yun Ran, immediately clutched tightly at the boy’s heart.

The boy immediately showed symptoms of illness, his pale face turning even grayer due to the discomfort in his heart.

With a light grab through the air from Yun Ran’s fingers, the evil entity was suddenly choked by the throat.

The boy’s father, having just witnessed his son’s onset of illness and not having had the chance to be heartbroken, saw Yun Ran’s action and just in the blink of an eye, his son regained vitality.

This scene shocked him thoroughly.

Following that, he fell to his knees with a thud, which startled Yun Ran who was very close.

"Master, Master, please, save my son, he’s still so young..."

"Two thousand per fortune, firm price!"

The man then seemed to remember what Yun Ran had said before and hurriedly took out his phone, still kneeling as he transferred the money to her.

This scene did catch the attention of people nearby, though they didn’t come over to see what exactly was happening.

But a grown man kneeling in front of a young girl certainly caused some whispers behind their backs.

"What happened over there?"

"I don’t know, but by the looks of it, it’s definitely no misunderstanding. A grown man, crying and sniveling on the ground, and the young girl looks so pretty, could it be that she caught him harassing her?"

"No way, this is a public place, that would be too bold, he really doesn’t know the meaning of the word ’death’!"

...

Unbeknownst to Yun Ran and her group, their story was being wildly speculated upon based on ’pictures telling stories’; rumors had already begun to fly.
