Chapter 7: Girl, Do You Want a Fortune-Telling?

 Chapter 7: Girl, Do You Want a Fortune-Telling?

Walking under a bridge one day, Qin Ruans stopped and lifted her arm, rolling up the sleeve of her shoulder.

On the inside of her arm was a brightly colored red thread.

This thread was very short, and the length represented the remaining years of her life.

She was sensitive to the red thread.

One year...

Time was running out.

Since Qin Ruans opened her eyes until now, she only had one year left to live.

If she wanted to extend her life, she had to find the "Sha," the evil and sinister energy in the world.

The Sha was often associated with demonic creatures and other evil entities.

Qin Ruans put down her sleeve, and for a while, she didn't know where to find the Sha.

Her steps were very slow, and her body pain kept her mind clear.

She wanted to plan the rest of her journey carefully.

"Come and try, have a fortune told! Authentic fortune-telling, satisfaction guaranteed, if it's not accurate, pay less, and if it is, pay double..."

Suddenly, a clear and hoarse shouting came from ahead, not far away.

Qin Ruans raised her head, and the stall under the bridge came into view.

There was an old man with black sunglasses and a blue long gown, and he had a strong presence.

He sat in front of the stall, holding a high posture, and the shouting was from his mouth.

"Girl, we're fated to meet. I see that your facial features are auspicious. Your round face is smooth and rosy, and you have a healthy complexion.

However, there is black energy lingering around your eyes, indicating that a disaster may be coming soon. Come on, girl, why not tell me your birth date, and I'll give you a fortune-telling. It'll only cost you three hundred."

Qin Ruans stared at the old man for a moment, with a thousand emotions in her eyes, and suddenly she laughed.

With her delicate and pale face, this laughter carried a touch of tenderness.

It seemed that fortune-telling was coming to her effortlessly.

"I was just thinking about where to find negative energy, and now it's come to me.

This old man said that she was surrounded by black energy, but he didn't know that he was already shrouded in thick black mist himself.

Everyone carries their own energy field, which changes with every word and action, whether it is good or evil.

Most people's energy fields are divided into black, red, white, and gold.

Black is the energy of evil, possessed by those who are wicked or who carry something sinister.

Red signifies imminent disaster and bloodshed.

White is the energy of good people and those who live a long life.

Gold is the energy of those who have accumulated merit and are blessed with good fortune.

There is also a rare energy field called Purple Energy from the East, which is the energy of the emperor.

Out of a thousand people, it's hard to find someone who can carry this kind of energy.

Qin Ruan walked up to the fortune-telling booth and looked at the old man with a half-smile, her beautiful eyes scanning him up and down.

Finally, her gaze settled on the white jade pendant hanging around his neck.

"Miss, would you like a fortune-telling?" The old man smiled.

Qin Ruan shook her head gently and stared at the white jade pendant the old man was wearing, her eyes shining like a cat who had just seen a fish.

As if her direct gaze was too much for him, the old man's smile disappeared and caution and wariness appeared in his eyes.

He put the exposed jade pendant inside his shirt and patted it gently, feeling slightly relieved.

This was a treasure he had picked up from the antique street a while ago, and it had cost him half his savings. It was something he rarely liked.

The old man's behavior was very direct and not at all subtle, which made Qin Ruan raise an eyebrow.

"Such a precious thing that can kill you?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression immediately turned sour. "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about! I think you're just here to cause trouble. Since you don't want a fortune-telling, go away and don't bother my business."

Leaving was not an option. Qin Ruan couldn't give up on what she wanted.
