Chapter 110: Zhu Bocheng Dropping By!
As soon as Chi Shuyan woke up the next morning, she received a call from Zhu Bocheng, who had come from afar. Chi Shuyan picked up the call and told him her address. By the time the doorbell rang, she had already washed up. When she opened the door, she saw travel-worn Zhu Bocheng, who had rushed over.
Zhu Bocheng was thrilled to see Sister Shuyan. “Sister Shuyan, I finally see you.”
Chi Shuyan could tell that he was in a hurry. Guessing that he hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, she simply let him in. She just happened to be heating up some soy milk, steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks, along with her family’s special sauce.
Zhu Bocheng didn’t stand on ceremony. It was true that he had rushed over early in the morning and hadn’t had time to eat anything. Now, as he ate the warm dishes, Zhu Bocheng was both grateful and happy in his heart.
As soon as he started eating, he kept going. Zhu Bocheng had just rushed over travel-weary and hadn’t been that hungry. Once he ate Sister Shuyan’s breakfast, however, he felt like swallowing his tongue.
It was so delicious that he couldn’t speak.
Zhu Bocheng gulped down two cups of soy milk and a few steamed buns. They were so tasty that his tongue was tied in knots. When he finished eating, Zhu Bocheng asked curiously, “Sister Shuyan, where did you buy the soy milk and steamed buns? Why are they so delicious?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Bocheng poured another cup of soy milk and downed it. Chi Shuyan was worried that his bladder would be too full when he hurried back on the plane later. The main thing was that soy milk couldn’t fill a person up, so she moved it away and had him eat her family’s pickled vegetables.
Zhu Bocheng nodded repeatedly and didn’t think much of it as he had a mouthful of the vegetables. He really couldn’t bear to put down his chopsticks. It was really too delicious. He had tasted countless good things, but there really weren’t many flavors that he could remember, let alone this common snack.
Chi Shuyan had just finished cooking the porridge and ladled out another bowl for him. It was so delicious that he almost forgot what he was here for. He clicked his tongue and wondered how this porridge was made.
The porridge looked the same as the porridge he usually ate, but it tasted extraordinarily delicious. Even without the vegetables, he felt that he could still eat a few more bowls of the porridge. He felt extremely warm and comfortable all over after eating.
Chi Shuyan was helpless when she saw how he still wanted to eat porridge even though he was full. But he had good taste. Except for the fried dough sticks, which she bought, she had made everything else herself, and they more or less had some spiritual energy, especially the rice at home. It was washed with several streaks of spiritual energy and didn’t have the slightest impurity; how could it not be tasty?
Chi Shuyan didn’t say much, and just said that when Zhu Bocheng went back later, he could bring some pickled vegetables with him. As for the rice, forget it.
While he was having his porridge, Chi Shuyan went back to her bedroom to get the talismans that she had drawn yesterday. There were fifteen level-two Thunder Light Talismans, three high-level Exorcism Talismans, and one high-level Guiding Lightning Talisman. She had expanded a lot of effort and spiritual energy to draw them. With her current strength, she still wasn’t strong enough to draw high-level talismans unless Qi Zhenbai, that man, was by her side.
Forget it, forget it. She would have to think about this from now on; she still had to rely on herself.
When he got the talismans, Zhu Bocheng was surprised at Sister Shuyan’s generosity. It wasn’t like he didn’t know anything. When he heard Sister Shuyan talk about some high-level talisman or other, how could he not know that these few high-level talismans were probably extremely rare and absolutely priceless?
Zhu Bocheng thought of something and his eyes immediately changed. He suddenly lamented, “Sister Shuyan, you’re really good to Zhenbai! I won’t haggle this time, but you can’t act like a stranger in the future just because Zhenbai is your man, and treat me differently as an ‘outsider’!”
Chi Shuyan had just sat down to have a mouthful of porridge when she almost choked at the words of the man in front of her. When did Qi Zhenbai become her man? How did she treat the two of them differently?
Chi Shuyan knew what Zhu Bocheng was like, and knew that the more she explained, the more he would think about it. So, she just couldn’t be bothered to explain, and just explained the talismans’ functions.
She didn’t need to introduce the Thunder Light Talisman. As for the high-level Exorcism Talisman and the Guiding Lightning Talisman, she had specially prepared them for him.
They acted to drive away all evil.
She just hoped that this high-level talisman wouldn’t be needed.
Chi Shuyan thought back to her previous life when Qi Zhenbai’s cousin died in the end and his soul couldn’t even be found. It wasn’t hard to imagine what kind of terrible tragedy his cousin had suffered for even his soul to be swallowed or scattered.
She was afraid that he had encountered some extremely sinister and powerful evil being.
Recalling what happened in her past life, she knew that this was a setup. She was quite alarmed that someone in the Qi family would eradicate the family of the Qi family’s Second Uncle and Qi Zhenbai.
She had even gone against Heaven’s Will yesterday to do a few more divinations for him. They were all extremely ominous and resulted in death nine out of ten times, which frightened her.
Although she could calculate it, she couldn’t forcibly change fate unless the other party took the initiative to ask her to divine a way to resolve this matter.
Perhaps she just happened to chance upon this matter, just like with that old man yesterday; if she hadn’t run into him, even if she knew that such a tragic thing would happen, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to immediately go look for him.
Only when both parties had a karmic connection could fate be adapted.
With this in mind, Chi Shuyan said bluntly, “If you’re really worried, you can bring Qi Zhenbai’s cousin here before they leave when you have the time. I happen to be free, so I can calculate his fortune!”
Zhu Bocheng was indeed worried that something would happen to Zhenbai’s cousin. Listening to those brats talk about this horror adventure livestream, he felt that it was unreasonable. The more he thought about it, the more unreasonable it sounded. If something really happened to Zhenbai’s cousin, he couldn’t afford to take responsibility.
Zhu Bocheng increasingly felt that Sister Shuyan’s suggestion was really good and immediately agreed. “Deal!”
“And I think you better let Qi Zhenbai know about this!”
Zhu Bocheng hurriedly agreed, afraid that those brats really would bring a pile of fake talismans with them. He also didn’t dare hang around Sister Shuyan’s house for too long. After breakfast, he took a lot of pickled vegetables with him and left in a hurry.
Seeing that Zhu Bocheng hadn’t heard her last sentence as he left in a hurry, Chi Shuyan sighed. Whatever the case, she had said all she could say.
After Zhu Bocheng left, Chi Shuyan planned to go out shopping. Who would have thought that not long after she left the house, she would run into the uncle from yesterday again at a nearby market.
Wu Jinshan also saw Chi Shuyan at that moment. There had been no waves in his heart yesterday, but at that moment, Wu Jinshan was indescribably excited. He hurried over, gasping for breath, and thanked Chi Shuyan. “Master, Master, is it really you? Thank you so much! You’re really too G.o.dly! Thank goodness you warned me yesterday, otherwise…” Speaking up to that point, Wu Jinshan wiped his tears excitedly and with lingering fear, and he recounted from beginning to end what had happened at home yesterday.
Even now, Wu Jinshan’s voice trembled with lingering fear. It wasn’t hard to imagine how dangerous it had been.
He had been so close to losing not only his grandson and his own life, but also possibly implicating his neighbors. His life wasn’t a big deal, but his grandson was the only child of his Wu family. If the boy was implicated, he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace even if he died ten times over.
Chi Shuyan noticed pa.s.sersby on the road looking at them, so she had Uncle Wu walk over to a corner. She learned from Uncle Wu that the disaster had been averted. The aura of death on his forehead had also dissipated and was replaced with a rosy glow. This old man would be blessed for the rest of his life, with filial offspring and a long lifespan. When he died, he would go peacefully in his sleep. Chi Shuyan also smiled at that moment and said, “It’s good that you avoided it. You’ve pa.s.sed this hurdle. Uncle Wu, your family is blessed and your offspring are filial. However, you must do good deeds in the future. When you go back later, and you encounter somebody in need of a donation on the way, donating an appropriate amount would be fine.”
This Uncle Wu was now convinced of the little girl’s words. In his eyes, she was simply a living Bodhisattva. Not to mention donating more, he was even willing to reconstruct a golden body and donate it to a temple. Moreover, this Celestial Master praised that his family was blessed and his offspring were filial. His face glowed even more radiantly and he smiled wide enough to reveal his dentures. He hurriedly nodded and agreed. “Yes, yes, Celestial Master!”
