Chapter 1: A Fortune-Teller Returned from Transmigration

~7 min read 1,250 words

Snow Moon City.

Outside the Half-Moon Inn.

A small, exquisite fortune-telling stall stands by the street, looking exceptionally eye-catching!

Because two lines of large characters are hung on both sides of the stall:

Can know the past, can measure the future!

Defy the heavens to change fate, overturn the universe!

Regarding these words, the residents of Snow Moon City are not surprised,

Because every once in a while, there are always a few Jianghu fortune-tellers coming and going,

Setting up stalls to tell fortunes for a few pieces of silver,

A burst of shouting and singing, half-concealing and half-guessing.

The masters play and sing for themselves, boasting and blowing their own horns.

Everyone is long used to phrases like "a half-immortal in the world" or "divine calculation of heavenly secrets."

If the fortune is told accurately, people will respectfully hand over three or five coins of silver to show their respect.

If the fortune is told poorly, the masters inevitably invite roars of laughter, and the fortune-teller also seizes the opportunity to slip away.

But the small stall before them is completely different,

It is almost fixed under the eaves of the Half-Moon Inn, and the stall owner has absolutely no intention of running away,

Directly above the stall, there is another line of extremely striking large characters—No payment if not accurate!

But even so, business in front of the small stall is still sparse,

Pedestrians come and go; some stop, some watch, some point and gesture,

And some are eager to try, but are grabbed by the people beside them, and in the end, they can only sigh for a while and have to give up.

It is not because there is any problem with the stall itself, but because the stall owner is truly too young.

Young to an outrageous degree, not even looking like a fortune-teller at all.

At this moment,

Su Hang, in a coarse white cloth robe, sits on a small stool, waiting quietly in front of the stall,

Seeing pedestrians coming and going, yet not a single person is willing to come and have a fortune told.

At this moment, Su Hang has an indescribable sense of frustration in his heart.

This is not hard to understand; ordinary fortune-tellers are all immortal-looking, with the appearance of high-level experts, and some even carry long swords or hold horsetail whisks, making everyone call them "Master" upon seeing them.

But Su Hang is different; he is only twenty years old, and his appearance is delicate, looking more like a young master from a noble family who has not seen the world. How could he have even half a resemblance to a fortune-teller?

It is precisely because of this that in front of Su Hang's stall, there are always many onlookers but few people getting their fortunes told.

No,

It is not that there are few people,

It is that so far, there has not been a single customer.

Thinking of this, Su Hang cannot help but sigh again:

"What to do..."

"If I don't open for business (get a customer), I'm really going to be drinking the northwest wind!"

"The cost of living in Snow Moon City is so high, the northwest wind is also very expensive, you know!"

In fact, Su Hang is not from this world,

To be precise, he was a corporate slave from the twenty-first century,

Who died suddenly in the office due to working overtime for five consecutive days.

When he woke up, he discovered he had already transmigrated.

The world before him is a comprehensive martial arts world that merges multiple imperial dynasties such as Great Qin, Great Song, Great Ming, Great Sui, Great Han, Liyang, and Beili.

The Great Qin Dynasty is located in the far west and receives the most abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it has a large group of famous masters like Moon God, Ge Nie, and Jing Ke.

The Great Song Dynasty is located in the Central Plains and possesses the most orthodox ancient and modern martial arts, so it has a large group of top experts like Wang Chongyang, the Four Greats of the World, the Nameless Divine Monk, Dugu Qiubai, and Senior Xiaoyaozi.

The Great Ming Dynasty is also located in the Central Plains and possesses the most diverse martial arts in the world, so it has top-tier powerhouses that shake the world, such as Ximen Chuixue, Xie Xiaofeng, Bai Yu Jing, Pang Ban, and Dongfang Bubai.

The Great Sui Dynasty is located in the southwest and possesses the most evil martial Dao in the world; the Mo Sect is the most prosperous, even able to enter the hall and dominate the imperial court, making the reigning emperor bow his head.

And the Great Han Dynasty is in the far east and possesses the most advanced martial Dao in the world; martial Dao forms its own system, producing the most famous masters, with generations of masters appearing, making the world look sideways.

Besides these, there are the Liyang Dynasty and Beili Dynasty in the far north; these two great dynasties also have generations of experts, exhausting martial arts, having already half-stepped into the immortal path, and are the areas with the most explosive power levels in the entire comprehensive martial arts world.

Facing this complex and dangerous world before him,

Su Hang originally thought he would awaken a golden finger like an invincible ring or immortal techniques,

But he did not expect that what he awakened was a Heavenly Secret Deduction System.

In short,

That is, Su Hang needs to obtain divination fees through fortune-telling, and then exchange the equivalent divination fees for lottery cards.

Only after obtaining lottery cards can he participate in the lottery and obtain rewards from this world.

But since the golden finger awakened, a full half-month has passed, and Su Hang has not even managed to get a single order of business.

Thinking of this, Su Hang cannot help but feel a bit discouraged.

Just at this moment,

He hears a strange sound ring out,

"No payment if not accurate?"

"Is this true?"

Su Hang raises his eyes to look and sees a woman in white, six or seven feet tall, wearing a cloak.

Although she is wearing a very ugly mask and her clothes are worn as loosely as possible,

Her figure is graceful and her posture is elegant; she is clearly a young girl,

And how could a few pieces of cloth cover that up?

Even from a long distance, Su Hang can still feel the lingering fragrance emanating from this woman.

Seeing a customer come to the door, Su Hang immediately gathers his full attention,

Squeezes out a smile and says:

"Of course!"

"If I say even one word wrong, I will take off my own head and give it to you!!"

"Hee hee..." Teased by Su Hang, the woman cannot help but laugh softly.

Only then does Su Hang discover that she deliberately made that strange sound just to deceive people.

The real her has a laugh like a bell, exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

A moment later,

The woman stops her laughter and continues:

"Then you shall tell my fortune."

"But let's be clear, no payment if not accurate!"

Su Hang nods seriously, thinking to himself that he transmigrated here and knows all the plots; in this entire comprehensive Wu world, as long as they are named characters, one by one, isn't it all within his grasp? ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
