Shouldn't I Check Your Career Line First?

Weary from her journey, Zhu Zhuqing had wanted to get some proper rest, only to be disturbed by a sudden knock from a waiter.

"Sorry, miss. This is from the most amazing fortune-teller in Suotuo City."

As he spoke, he handed Zhu Zhuqing a glass of light wine from his tray, along with the note Lu Qian had written.

Zhu Zhuqing was a little puzzled as she accepted them, but as a girl traveling alone, she naturally would not casually drink something a stranger had sent her.

She promptly poured the glass of wine down the drain and set the note aside.

It was not until evening that Zhu Zhuqing finally woke up.

With the sunset shining through the window, Zhu Zhuqing enjoyed a leisurely stretch, her perfect curves as eye-catching as the sunlight.

After admiring the view for a while, Zhu Zhuqing was about to go downstairs for something to eat, but before leaving, she spotted the note the waiter had brought at noon.

"The most amazing fortune-teller in Suotuo City?"

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, then unfolded Lu Qian's note out of curiosity.

[Zhu Zhuqing, you have traveled a thousand miles to find your husband, but placed your trust in the wrong man.]

"This!"

Zhu Zhuqing was instantly stunned.

This most amazing fortune-teller in Suotuo City really was extraordinary!

In particular, Zhu Zhuqing remembered that she seemingly had never mentioned her name in Suotuo City, yet this fortune-teller had actually guessed it!

Of course, that might not prove anything, but the words "traveled a thousand miles to find your husband" left Zhu Zhuqing with no choice but to believe this fortune-teller.

Within the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire, a prince's future principal wife was bound to be a woman from her Zhu Family.

For instance, the eldest prince, Dai Weisi, was to marry Zhu Zhuqing's elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, while Zhu Zhuqing herself was to marry the second prince, Dai Mubai.

Whether any of them were willing or not, this was essentially something that could not be changed-unless someone died!

Thus, the fortune-teller's words about traveling a thousand miles to find her husband could be considered extremely accurate.

Moreover, this fortune-teller not only knew her name, but also knew why she had come to Suotuo City. He had even directly foretold the outcome Zhu Zhuqing wanted to know!

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with shock. The predictive abilities of this most amazing fortune-teller in Suotuo City truly seemed godlike!

Yet even if Zhu Zhuqing racked her brains until her head split, she would never have imagined that this fortune-teller, Grandmaster Lu Qian, had transmigrated here and was deliberately laying a trap for a big white rabbit like her!

"Placed my trust in the wrong man?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression shifted. She had never expected that, after coming from a thousand miles away, this would be the result she received!

"No! I have to see for myself!"

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat stubborn and wanted to see the truth with her own eyes, but she was deeply conflicted over the fortune-teller's words, afraid things really would be just as he had said.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhuqing went straight downstairs. The waiter "just happened" to be in the lobby.

"Hello, miss. How may I help you?"

"Where is that amazing fortune-teller you mentioned at noon?"

"Him? I'm not quite sure, but I've heard he occasionally shows up at the tavern on the corner for a drink."

"The tavern on the corner. Thank you."

With that, Zhu Zhuqing left immediately, while the waiter also hurried out through the back door and ran toward the tavern where Lu Qian currently was.

"She's finally coming."

Lu Qian smiled. His whole afternoon of waiting really had not been wasted.

Moreover, to conceal his identity, Lu Qian had deliberately altered his appearance slightly and was also prepared to change his voice.

"Everyone, let the performance begin!"

"Long live the fortune-teller!"

"Woo-hoo!"

After a brief cheer, the entire tavern sprang into motion like a giant machine.

In truth, though, there was not much they needed to pay attention to. All these drinkers had to do was quietly enjoy their drinks and not cause trouble. The beauty sitting in front of Lu Qian was his special guest-two Gold Soul Coins, just to have her hand touched.

Time ticked by. Suddenly, someone opened the tavern door, drawing everyone's gaze.

There was no helping it. Even aside from being the leading lady in tonight's performance, her figure alone warranted the full attention of all these men!

"Hey, beautiful!"

"Whee-wheet!" (A whistle.)

"I'm looking for the fortune-teller. Has he come today?"

Zhu Zhuqing's purpose was clear, and she asked the bartender directly.

The bartender obligingly pointed at the fellow holding a blonde beauty's hand a short distance away.

But when Zhu Zhuqing saw Lu Qian's face, she said in some surprise:

"So young?"

"He knows how to preserve his youthful looks. He's very good. He seems to be in a pretty good mood tonight, so I'll have to get my love life read in a bit too!"

Before the bartender had finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing walked straight toward Lu Qian.

However, since Lu Qian still had a customer in front of him, Zhu Zhuqing considerately sat down at another table.

After exchanging a few casual words with his special guest actress, Lu Qian sent her away. At his direction, the blonde beauty even gave him a passionate kiss before leaving.

Zhu Zhuqing could not help frowning at the sight, but remembering that this was a bar, and that blonde women like this one seemingly were very uninhibited, she soon let it go.

Yet when Zhu Zhuqing sat down in front of Lu Qian, he frowned and said impatiently:

"We've already met. What else do you want to know?"

"I!"

Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily tongue-tied, unsure what to say.

"Forget it, forget it. Girls your age won't turn back until they've run headfirst into a wall."

Lu Qian then gave Zhu Zhuqing a way out of her embarrassment instead of chasing her away.

Sitting before Lu Qian, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little nervous, while Lu Qian gradually slipped into his role. Thinking of those wandering charlatans from his previous life, he figured fooling a single Zhu Zhuqing should basically be no problem.

"Give me your hand."

"What?"

"Give me your hand!"

"Oh."

Somewhat embarrassed, Zhu Zhuqing extended her hand toward Lu Qian, who unceremoniously took that small, fair hand in his.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was a little resistant at first-weren't fortune-tellers supposed to use crystal balls?

She had also seen how the blonde woman's fortune had just been told, so she reluctantly accepted it.

"This is a divination technique from the mysterious Eastern Dragon Empire. What a pain, having to explain it all over again."

Lu Qian secretly delighted in stroking Zhu Zhuqing's little hand while putting on an impatient expression as he spoke.

He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing. Her cheeks were flushed-she was actually shy!

Lu Qian was a little excited, but he could not give himself away, so he hurried on with his questions. "There are three lines on a person's hand, representing life, love, and career. Which one do you want to know about?"

"Love!"

Zhu Zhuqing answered without the slightest hesitation.

"Love, huh? Are you sure you don't want me to check your career line first?"

As he spoke, Lu Qian instinctively glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's cleavage. Mm, very deep!

"No, just love!"
