Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 26 Good Karma (2 more updates)

"Isn’t this just robbery in broad daylight?"

"The little girl is young, but she sure has a dark heart!"

"We can’t really say that. Look, their sign says ’No fortune-telling without payment.’ It’s not robbery."

...

Little Fatty’s stall was still not far from Yun Ran’s, but today, his gaze kept falling on Yun Ran’s stall from time to time, showing little interest in his own.

Looking at the onlookers, not a single one of them stepped forward, which made Little Fatty really anxious.

This was Yun Ran’s first time charging for her stall, and he wished he could rush over to pay, if only to keep her from seeing a complete lack of business.

Qu Ziwei’s little stall had some second-hand accessories. Although they weren’t cheap, many were branded, and her business was quite good.

She watched Zhu Shijia constantly looking over at Yun Ran’s stall and couldn’t help but sidle over.

Although she didn’t like Yun Ran, she found the previous spectacle interesting and wanted to watch again today.

But after waiting so long with no one stepping forward, she almost wanted to call Yun Ran a blockhead. Who charges so much for fortune-telling at a street stall!

She was so tempted to go up there and wipe a couple of zeroes off the price Yun Ran had listed!

"How can Yun Ran be so foolish? Those rich people have their own familiar masters. Why would they spend the money here? Looks like there won’t be any excitement to watch today!"

Little Fatty immediately retorted, "Haven’t you heard that experts can appear among the common folk? How do you know she’s not a master!"

Qu Ziwei gave Little Fatty a once-over and said cautiously, "You’re not right, really not right!"

Then her eyes lit up, and in a lower voice, she inquired, "I heard people say that you sought Yun Ran for fortune-telling? Is that true or false?"

Yun Ran did not stop Little Fatty from speaking out, even though she had refused the overtures from the Zhu Family, it did not affect Little Fatty’s admiration for her.

"Of course, it’s true. Her predictions were incredibly accurate!"

If someone else had said this, Qu Ziwei would doubt they were a mascot for Yun Ran, but she didn’t believe Zhu Shijia had any reason or need to do such a thing.

Qu Ziwei suddenly felt a tickle of curiosity; she had actually been tempted before to have her fortune told.

But after all, she was Miss Qu from the Qu Family, and having expressed disdain for Yun Ran before and badmouthed her,

it would be a loss of face for her to go to Yun Ran for fortune-telling.

"Is it... really that accurate?"

Little Fatty was desperate to vouch for Yun Ran’s reputation: "Of course, why would I lie to anyone?"

Just when everyone thought Yun Ran would end up with no business for the day, a young woman took a seat directly in front of Yun Ran’s stall.

"Hey, it’s you!"

Yun Ran looked up and, wow, saw it was someone she had a brief encounter with before.

The person was one of the first group of people Yun Ran had met while watching the sunrise that morning.

"No payment only if incorrect? Should I pay up front, or do I pay after, only if it’s accurate?"

The young woman had a calm and peaceful look, not stunning but extremely pleasant somehow, as if just being with her was delightful.

Yun Ran smiled and responded, "You can pay after the fortune-telling."

"Aren’t you afraid that I’ll intentionally say it’s inaccurate after you tell my fortune and firmly refuse to pay?"

"In this world, nobody has ever gotten away with not paying me for fortune-telling."

The young lady’s eyes smirked, "Then you’re quite impressive! I want to know where my biological parents are. However, I’m not sure about my exact birth date and month; can you still tell?"

"Of course!"

Yun Ran handed the copper coin to the young woman, "Throw it."

The woman closed her eyes, muttered something in her heart, then sincerely tossed the copper coin into the area designated by Yun Ran.

As Yun Ran examined the divination symbols, the woman grew increasingly nervous. Over the years, she spent a lot on such endeavors, with friends all calling it a scam.

Yet she always nurtured a reverence, hoping one day to truly meet a Demi Immortal who could help her find her biological parents.

She didn’t harbor many expectations, just thinking that not knowing one’s origins was a pitiable thing.

Even if the outcome was terrible, if she were abandoned by her biological parents, she could accept that.

"You should be 22 years old, both your divination and your facial features indicate that you will have a successful career and both your parents are alive, just with some hardships in the early part of your life.

However, you have a good attitude, so even though you’ve encountered difficulties, you’ve managed them well. Over the years, you’ve done many good deeds, and hence amassed a lot of Merit.

Thus, you are able to meet me – this is good karma. Your parents are also searching for you. In half a month’s time, if you stick to your original plan, you will meet them."

In the past, many had told her that she would find her biological parents, but none mentioned her past good deeds.

Just for that, she was already willing to pay, not to mention that this young master here accurately revealed her plan for the half a month to come.

It was a significant project, of which only a very few people were aware – at this moment, the young lady was halfway to being convinced.

As she prepared to stand up to make the payment, Yun Ran lowered her voice and continued, "You ought to understand the principle of keeping things confidential more than anyone else.

Moreover, the object you’ve worn since childhood – don’t give it away to anyone, and beware of it being stolen. As long as your plan proceeds unimpeded, your wishes will be fulfilled."

The woman’s body tensed up; she was now getting goosebumps, looking into Yun Ran’s seemingly omniscient gaze.

Her hand instinctively touched her neck, where there used to hang a broken wooden carving.

The carving didn’t look valuable, so no one had bothered to steal it when she was helpless.

But last month, her best friend, who was also a business partner and close enough to be the godmother of each other’s future children, suddenly took an interest in the wooden carving and wanted to borrow it to wear.

Under normal circumstances, she would have been willing to lend the carving to her friend, but that day, for some reason, a voice in her head told her not to let it go.

So, she lied, claiming the carving wasn’t on her and that she didn’t know where it was.

Fearing her previous words would give her away, she quietly kept the carving away and hadn’t worn it since.

The young woman gazed at Yun Ran in shock, her mouth agape, words jammed in her throat, as if unable to speak.

Yun Ran, however, spread her hands nonchalantly, pointing to the payment code, "Time to pay up."

Onlookers who were there for the spectacle chimed in, "She hasn’t even confirmed if it’s accurate, and you’re already asking for money. Isn’t that too childish?"

"Ding, received 2000 yuan via WeChat!"

The naysayers were instantly proven wrong.
