Chapter 179: Chapter 0179: Climbing the Mountain for a Fortune-telling

When the car arrived at Longjiawan Village, it was already afternoon.

This secluded fishing village is backed by a range of mountains and faces a small bay.

The bay resembles a golden dragon lying coiled, hence the name Longjiawan Village.

Lin Shanshan looked at the scenery all the way, excitedly asking Long Fei, "Is this where you grew up as a child?"

"Yes, isn’t it beautiful?"

Long Fei nodded and smiled.

Lin Shanshan said, "The mountains are clear, and the water is beautiful, indeed very pretty."

Long Fei had lied to Lin Yingying; although remote, the government had already paved a flat road here.

Because of the beautiful scenery, many villagers had started agricultural homestays.

All along the way, numerous tourists could be seen coming and going.

Lin Yingying immediately felt a surge of annoyance, not understanding why Long Fei had tried to stop her from coming here so many times.

She looked at Long Fei, beginning to suspect that the young man was jealous of her meeting another man.

Feeling guilty under her scrutiny, Long Fei pointed to a mountain peak nearby and introduced it to them, "Look at that mountain peak with three summits, like three immortals sitting on top. That’s Three Immortals Mountain, rumored to be where Cloud Piercer Gongsun Sheng from the ’Water Margin’ retired. There’s also a Seven Stars Temple on it, said to have been founded by Gongsun Sheng himself!"

Lin Shanshan looked at the three peaks and smiled, "You’re right, they really do look like three immortals."

She looked at her sister through the rearview mirror and suggested, "Sis, why don’t we go up the mountain and pray to the immortals for your smooth sailing?"

The car was just passing by the Three Immortals Mountain scenic area, and Lin Yingying focused on the sign, frowning slightly, "Okay, let’s go up and take a look!"

Long Fei raised his eyebrows, "Now?"

Lin Yingying said, "Yeah, what’s wrong?"

Long Fei said, "It’s almost dark now, if we go up, I’m afraid we won’t be able to come down until night."

"If we can’t come down, we’ll just go over tomorrow, since you haven’t gotten in touch with that family yet!"

Lin Yingying gave him a look and told her sister to drive to the scenic area.

Three Immortals Mountain is over a thousand meters high and a great spot for enjoying the sunrise over the sea.

Today being Sunday, there were quite a few tourists.

There were tents provided for accommodations on the mountain, so Long Fei wasn’t worried about not being able to come down at night.

He couldn’t figure out these women, how they could be so impulsive, saying they wanted to climb the mountain and then just doing it.

Lin Yingying wasn’t acting on a whim; she had some matters she was undecided about and just wanted to find somewhere to pour out her heart.

In Huaxia, fortune telling and divination are much like psychological therapy in other countries.

The two sisters got out of the car with faces full of excitement, holding hands and starting to climb the mountain together.

Long Fei followed behind, just in case something happened to them.

Having not returned for a long time, he felt a deep sense of familiarity with the mountain.

As a child, his grandfather had brought him here to have his fortune told by a Taoist priest.

The priest had said he had a destiny intertwined with romantic affairs and was born of noble status.

After spending twenty-one years as a single and poor guy, he had gradually started to believe those words.

"Brother Long, take a photo of us together!"

Standing under a jade archway, Lin Shanshan called out to him and handed him her phone.

Long Fei smiled, lifted the phone and aimed the camera at them.

The two sisters, Lin Yingying being slightly taller.

She styled her hair, her facial features bold and striking.

Lin Shanshan’s cheeks still looked somewhat youthful, round and chubby with a bit of baby fat.

Today, to match her strapless jeans, she’d tied her hair into a ponytail on purpose.

Both sisters smiled, revealing two shallow dimples at the corners of their mouths.

Looking at their eyes and brows, they indeed looked very much alike.

They changed several poses, at times goofy, at times cute, and at times coquettish.

Long Fei snapped photos, captivated and repeatedly finding himself in a daze.

He was certain that any man who saw them couldn’t help but let his mind wander.

The three of them stopped and went along the way, with Lin Shanshan even taking a few photos of Long Fei and Lin Yingying.

The two had awkward expressions on their faces, maintaining a distance like strangers.

Lin Shanshan pouted in dissatisfaction, took out a selfie stick from her bag and stood between Lin Yingying and Long Fei.

She wrapped her left arm around Long Fei’s arm and her right around her sister and snapped a few selfies with them, making a peace sign.

Lin Yingying and Long Fei awkwardly cooperated with her until she was satisfied and finally let them be.

Lin Shanshan, holding her sister’s hand, climbed up the stairs and teased her, "Sis, I think Brother Long is quite good. How about we turn back? Forget meeting that blind date, just let Brother Long become my brother-in-law!"

"Nonsense!"

Lin Yingying’s face turned red as she pinched Lin Shanshan’s waist.

Long Fei glanced at Lin Shanshan and thought to himself, little ancestor, can you stop causing trouble for me?

By the time they reached midway up the mountain, both sisters were somewhat tired.

Lin Shanshan insisted on being carried by Long Fei.

Lin Yingying, stubborn as she was, didn’t complain and continued climbing in her high heels all the way to the summit.

Long Fei found a place to sit and put Lin Shanshan down.

Carrying her, who was around a hundred pounds, up the mountain was indeed tiring.

But he didn’t mind; he had taken quite the advantage.

His hands were wrapped around Lin Shanshan’s hips, going up and down as they climbed, rubbing against her chest from behind.

The feeling was indeed arousing.

Lin Shanshan got off his back, her face inexplicably flushed, and it took her quite a while to catch her breath after sitting down.

Long Fei noticed her state and thought she seemed more exhausted than himself.

The trio found a spot in a nearby resting area and had a meal; the food on the mountain was expensive, and most people would only eat instant noodles.

Even for that, a bowl would cost twenty yuan.

Lin Shanshan, not having a clear concept of money, ordered a table full of dishes including stewed mountain chicken with mushrooms for three hundred yuan, smoked wild rabbit for two hundred, braised carp for one hundred, and cold mixed tripe for fifty yuan.

In the end, the bill for more than ten dishes was over three thousand yuan, which made Long Fei feel the pinch.

He had come and gone on this mountain numerous times, always bringing his own provisions.

This was his first time eating such pricey meals.

A group of men and women, who were dining nearby and wore staff badges, eyed them and whispered among themselves, greed flickering in their eyes.

They appeared to be workers from the temples on the mountain.

Long Fei swept a glance over them, his brows tightening slightly, but he didn’t say much.

In the past few years, commercialization on the mountain had become overly excessive.

Apart from the main peak’s Seven Stars Temple, various temples and Taoist temples had sprung up on the other two mountain peaks, forcing tourists to spend unwarranted money on rituals.

Long Fei didn’t need to think to know these individuals were after the money in their pockets.

Eating seven or eight bowls of rice costing ten yuan each would make anyone envious.

Having finished their meal, the trio set off again.

Passing an iron chain bridge from this peak would lead to the main peak where the Seven Stars Temple stood.

At the iron chain bridge’s entrance, they just passed a temple gateway.

Two young temple workers came out with a bunch of incense and candles, blocking their path and immediately saying, "The three beauties and handsome guy, come in and offer some incense! This is the Matchmaking Temple. Light incense and the Matchmaker will swiftly draw your red strings. Offering incense is free, we won’t take your money!"

"Matchmaking Temple?"

Lin Shanshan’s eyes widened as she called out to her sister excitedly, "Sis, we’ve got to pray here. We absolutely can’t let the Matchmaker draw the wrong red string and marry you to someone you don’t like."

After thinking it over, Lin Yingying actually followed her in.

Long Fei watched the two staff members, remembering they were the same people from their meal.

He followed them in, curious about what trick these people might pull.
