Chapter 7: Fortune Telling for Everyone

After Fu Lang finished rambling, he glanced at his tray.

“What the hell!”

This was unbearable!

“Why do you get two meat dishes and one vegetable, while I only get one meat and two vegetables? And my meat is just minced eggplant with pork?!”

Mo Yan remained calm, “You know, my grandfather keeps pressuring me to get married.”

Fu Lang: “So what?”

“So, I need to save up for a wife. What if I end up with a spendthrift wife that I really like? There’ll be plenty of things I’ll need to spend money on.”

Fu Lang was about to explode, “Then why did you get yourself two meat dishes and one vegetable?”

Mo Yan lazily opened his eyes a sliver and glanced at Fu Lang, explaining in a flat tone, “I have to do high-intensity training every day. How can I go without meat?”

Fu Lang: “…”

You keep talking about saving up for a wife, but if you’re really that capable, why don’t you go marry a spendthrift woman and show us all?

***

In the dormitory.

There was someone unfamiliar.

Lin Siyi and the other two roommates weren’t around.

A girl in a puffy pink dress sat quietly on a chair. When she saw Su Bao enter, her big, shiny eyes immediately glued themselves to her.

She stared at Su Bao with a dumbfounded expression.

“Are you my roommate?” Qiao Qiao pulled a starry lollipop from her small bag and handed it to Su Bao.

Su Bao quickly took it. She hadn’t planned on responding, but since there was food involved…

“Yeah.”

“You’re really pretty!”

Su Bao unwrapped the candy in a flash and popped it into her mouth. Feeling that she should return the compliment, she added…

“You’re pretty too.”

Sweet!

Tasty!

Qiao Qiao, from the Mo family, took her mother’s surname. She had been born with developmental issues, and her intelligence was a bit lacking. She was slower than most people her age, and most people found her annoying.

But when she met Su Bao…

It was like two misfits coming together!

The room became lively, though it was mostly Qiao Qiao talking while Su Bao quietly ate her candy.

Su Bao: “She’s a bit noisy.”

Da Hei: “Then just climb into bed and sleep!”

Su Bao: “But I ate her candy.”

Da Hei: “…”

In this world, demons, ghosts, and humans all practiced different cultivation methods. Su Bao was a ghost cultivator. For all cultivators, karma was important—debts must be repaid.

So Su Bao was particular about returning favors.

Since she ate Qiao Qiao’s candy, she had to sit there and listen to her chatter, repaying the favor.

As Su Bao finished her lollipop, Qiao Qiao pulled another one from her small bag and handed it over.

The expressionless Su Bao pouted, “Da Hei, she’s giving me more candy!”

Da Hei was about to tell her to firmly refuse!

But before he could, Su Bao silently reached out, took the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, Su Bao had eaten two pieces of candy.

Qiao Qiao then dumped all the candy from her small bag, “Su Bao, you can have it all!”

Su Bao shook her head, “No.”

This girl talked too much. If she took all the candy, she’d have to listen to her chatter for a long time!

“My mommy says good things should be shared with friends! Since you like it, I’ll give it all to you!”

Su Bao thought for a moment, then accepted all the candy…

With an expressionless face, she calmly said, “Your forehead is dark, clouds are hanging over you, and someone is plotting against you. The area representing your parents is starting to sink, which means your family ties will be severed soon. You should prepare for it.”

She traded this bit of knowledge for the candy, balancing the karmic debt.

Su Bao then carefully stashed all the candy in her desk drawer.
