I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 371:

Chapter 371: Chapter 286: Ascending the World, Treading the Dao in the Void_2

Huh, this person really isn’t after money!

While Chen Mobai was surprised, he was also wondering about the background of The Divine Machine Mansion.

In front of the girl with sunglasses, he didn’t feel right to directly search it on the internet with his phone.

“We, the cultivation community, don’t believe in karma. The education we received from a young age has always been that mighty powers are gathered within ourselves, and might breaks rules. Do your fortune-telling.”

But Chen Mobai knew that this fortune-teller must be an expert.

After all, no one in his entire Cultivation sect knew about the Tree Fruit affairs, only he himself knew.

This person was able to see his Core Formation’s calamity at a glance, which must be a sign of true skill.

“Alright, but I can only cast one more divi-ation for you.”

The girl in sunglasses hesitated and drew out another piece of white paper. She was about to hand it along with the retrieved ballpoint pen to Chen Mobai.

Thump, thump, thump!

Footsteps echoed, sounding like dress shoes hitting the ground, crisp and pleasant to hear.

Chen Mobai turned his head to look at the alley’s exit. He couldn’t see the face against the light, but he could see a slim woman with a full chest. She wore a tight-fitting pink plaid shirt, which accentuated her slender waist. Below, she had on a striped pleated skirt, revealing a pair of slender and beautiful legs clad in black knee-high stockings and rounded toe shoes.

“Excuse me, can I pass by?”

As she came in, she noticed Chen Mobai and the girl in sunglasses doing fortune-telling.

Because the alley was not large, with two people sitting down and the stall in the middle, there was basically no space for others to pass.

Chen Mobai looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was someone he used to know.

It was Wanyu, whom he had met on the train when he first came to the Dance Tool Dao Academy.

Despite the five years that had passed, time seemed to have left no mark on her. She was still as pure and beautiful as before. Between her speech, the corners of her mouth were always curled into a smile. The way she gently stroked the strands of hair by her ear was even more charming than before.

“Please.”

Chen Mobai immediately stood up to let her pass and she thanked him with a smile.

“Fortune-telling is for those who are destined, miss, do you want a love divi-ation?”

However, as Wanyu walked past the stall, the girl in sunglasses who had been indifferent to Chen Mobai, took the initiative to ask her if she wanted her fortune told.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t believe in these things.”

Although a bit surprised, Wanyu politely declined and turned to leave. However, Chen Mobai had a thought in mind.

The people of The Divine Machine Mansion only cast three divi-ations a day. He had already had two, and the remaining one could be used to see the truth.

“This fortune teller here is an expert. Since we’re fated to meet, don’t let it pass.”

Chen Mobai spoke up, causing a hesitant Wanyu, who had been preparing to leave to pause. After all, Chen Mobai’s Dancing Device Red and Black Robe was very persuasive.

“Forget it, my friend is waiting for me in front of the Dance Tool Dao Academy’s stall. I heard Battle Law Victory is coming today, I don’t want to miss it.”

Wanyu’s words caused a slight twitch in Chen Mobai’s mouth.

How can the news of his arrival have leaked out? It must have been a loose-lipped student who let it slip. Had he known this, he wouldn’t have gone there in the first place.

“It won’t delay you.”

Seeing Wanyu turning to leave, Chen Mobai replied and removed the mask from his face. Pieces of black crystal-like scales flew from his cheeks into the arm guard of his lifted right sleeve.

“It’s you…why are you here…”

Wanyu saw Chen Mobai, covered her mouth in surprise, her pretty face flushed with surprise and disbelief.

“I’m sorry, I’m a bit popular now, so I have to do some disguising when I go out.”

Chen Mobai apologized to Wanyu, who shook her head repeatedly, indicating that it was all right.

“If you want to see me, just contact me directly. Don’t we have ways to get in touch?”

Hearing this, Wanyu lowered her head in embarrassment.

It was not easy for a girl to actively reach out. It was only when Chen Mobai had just established Foundation Establishment and expressed his heartfelt happiness for him on social media, that she mustered up the courage to send a message.

Although they talked through the night afterwards, for the next two years, unless Chen Mobai took the initiative, she could only bury her feelings deep in her heart.

This was especially true after Chen Mobai became the top student of the Dance Tool Dao Academy, swept through Little Red Sky, and his fame reached its peak.

Feeling the substantial gap between them, she dared not take the initiative to contact him anymore, afraid that Chen Mobai would mistake her for someone who was insensible and drawn to his fame and fortune.

“If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly. I’m usually cultivating, but I’ll reply when I see it if I’m free. Plus, I think I still owe you a lipstick.”

Chen Mobai remembered when he was on the train and Master Wanyu gave him a lipstick to use for autographs. He had clearly promised to buy one as a replacement after getting off the train but forgot about it when he later moved to first class and ran into Meng Huang and Ma Xiaoming.

“You still remember.”

Upon hearing this, Master Wanyu’s face brightened with joy. She squinted her lightly made-up eyes and smiled, looking extraordinarily beautiful.

“This lady is a master from another world, able to supreme with extraordinary accuracy. She only makes three predictions a day. Since you’ve run into her, you might as well ask her about the thing you’re most curious about.”

As Chen Mobai introduced the girl in sunglasses, Master Wanyu listened attentively while focusing her gaze on him.

“What are the charges?”

As she asked this question, it became clear that Master Wanyu intended to have her fortune read. However, she remained rational and didn’t lose her sense because of her reunion with her good friend Chen Mobai, and asked about fees in advance to avoid any embarrassment if she didn’t have enough Good Deed Points.

“There’s no charge, only causes and effects.”

After the girl in the sunglasses answered Master Wanyu’s question, she took out another piece of white paper, picked up a pen from the table that was meant for Chen Mobai, and handed it to him. Although perplexed, he didn’t overthink, knowing that Chen Mobai was the one who introduced her.

There’s no way he would deceive her.

“I’ll choose this one.”

After thinking for a while, Master Wanyu’s fair skin flushed slightly. She quickly wrote a character, folded the paper without letting Chen Mobai see it, and handed it over to the girl in the sunglasses.

“Miss, what do you want to ask? Is it about marriage?”

The girl in sunglasses, after opening it and taking a look, asked with a meaningful glance.

“No, no, I want to ask about the course of my future life.”

With Chen Mobai right beside her, Master Wanyu felt embarrassed and could only subtly change her question to be about marriage.

“Your life will be blissful.”

The reply from the girl in sunglasses made Master Wanyu very happy, but Chen Mobai furrowed his brow slightly. This standard answer is exactly the same as the one he received earlier—lacking any depth or meaning.

“How will it be blissful?”

Master Wanyu asked further.

“You will die a peaceful death.”

The girl in the sunglasses replied with such a killjoy phrase that the initially elated Master Wanyu slightly hardened her expression. She opened her mouth to say something but felt embarrassed to ask in front of Chen Mobai and fell silent.

“To die a peaceful death is also my dream.”

At this moment, Chen Mobai spoke. He defused the awkwardness and picked up a blank paper from the table. He wrote down the second character representing his fortune for today.

[Turtle]!

Everything he had now was due to the turtle shell. Now he got a chance, he might as well ask a question.

“What do you want to ask?”

“About life.”

Chen Mobai also wanted to know how far he could go in his life.

“Most people ask about life, and yours is one I’m unable to decipher.”

The girl in the sunglasses suddenly remarked. Then, from under the table, she withdrew a thick stack of cards.

“Draw one. These are the treasures of The Divine Machine Mansion. The phrase written on them will be your future life.”

Chen Mobai slightly knitted his brows but still followed her instructions and drew a laminated card.

The back of the card had an image of a bronze trigram wheel spiraling in the star-studded sky. When he turned the card over to look at the front, sure enough, there was a line of text.

[Ascend and step into the world, tread on the path over emptiness.]

“Master, how should I understand this?”

Chen Mobai was puzzled and asked the girl in the sunglasses, whom he thought this was very fitting to his life.

“Miss, since you have also asked about life, draw a card as well. Although I saw the end of your life, there’s some haze covering the path leading up to it.”

Instead of answering Chen Mobai, the girl in sunglasses turned to Master Wanyu, who drew a card with a clueless expression.

When she opened and looked at it, it was a different line of poetry.

[Burst of stars beyond brushing dawn, falling ashes before the stairs.]

Chen Mobai and Master Wanyu looked at each other, both of them didn’t understand. As they turned to ask the girl in the sunglasses, her face suddenly turned pale, and she coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
