Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 27 Shadow Devouring Master
Chapter 27: 27 Shadow Devouring Master
The girl paid the original price directly and quickly squeezed out of the crowd with her bag.
"Not even, isn’t this really a mascot? Are mascots these days too unprofessional? Could’ve at least said something, just running off like that, how can this be!"
"It’s my first time knowing making money is this easy, this is 2000 yuan we’re talking about!"
...
Facing these comments, Yun Ran remained unfazed, her face not blushing, her heart not skipping a beat. How little is this matter really!
In the past, her master’s heart was even darker, charging 100,000 yuan for a fortune-telling, and here she is charging only 2000 yuan, that’s a massively good conscience!
Seeing the sun coming their way, Yun Ran set up a sun umbrella and placed a small fan on top of her stall.
Those who were watching the excitement, their faces turned red like monkey butts under the sun.
Qu Ziwei hesitated for a while but finally decided to be compassionate and support Yun Ran’s small business.
Just at this moment, a man with a deathly pale face sat directly in front of Yun Ran before she could.
Qu Ziwei cursed her bad luck silently, someone beat her to it again!
Despite the hot weather, the man was wearing thick long sleeves, his lips somewhat purple, anyone unaware would think he came from icy snow lands.
"Mas... Master... hello, I..."
Yun Ran’s gaze hardened, and she shouted towards the back of the man: "Get lost!"
The onlookers became excited.
"Wow, who makes someone leave just as they’ve taken a seat!"
"Waiting to see her face slapped!"
"Hehe..."
...
Following Yun Ran’s shout, the man suddenly felt lighter, and the chilling feeling dissipated.
The man looked at Yun Ran with sparkling eyes, obviously very surprised.
Yun Ran turned towards Little Fatty nearby and shouted: "Bring a cup of hot water!"
Little Fatty was briefly stunned, then quickly responded and brought over a cup of hot water, also bringing a cup of cold water for Yun Ran on his way.
Yun Ran took the cup of hot water, squeezed it tightly, and then handed it to the man: "Drink this!"
The man didn’t question at all, took the cup, and gulped it down.
The discomfort in his body, with the hot water down, dissipated directly.
He sweated in no time and hurriedly took off his outer jacket.
Looking at the man’s face returning to normal, Yun Ran glanced at the position of his shadow, then looked back at the man.
She pointed towards her sign standing nearby: "Is the price acceptable?"
The man, still a bit terrified, patted his chest: "Acceptable, I came specifically to find you."
This piqued Yun Ran’s curiosity. freёweɓnovel.com
The man took out his phone, showing a recent trending video of Yun Ran: "I saw the banner of your public welfare event and came here specifically for it."
Yun Ran nodded her head: "Tell me what you want to calculate."
The man’s expression was somewhat bitter: "Master, my family has been in the funeral business for generations. I just completed a transaction the day before yesterday, and upon returning, I encountered some trouble.
Despite the scorching hot weather, I felt as if I was in an ice cave. If I weren’t afraid of being looked at strangely, I would have wanted to put on a down jacket.
We know quite a few masters, but when I sought their help, they were terrified and advised me to find someone more capable. You are my last hope."
Yun Ran carefully inspected the man’s face. There were no significant karmic debts on him, nor had he recently accrued any sinister karma. He could be helped.
However, the methods used before were not really effective on this man.
Yun Ran rummaged through her bag and finally pulled out a small, delicate bell, the Sanqing Bell, which was one of her most handy Magic Artifacts.
It wasn’t a big deal, but Ginsengfruit emitted a sharp, explosive cry: "Damn, this thing is here too! Where in the world did you pull it out from!"
Yun Ran completely ignored Ginsengfruit’s shrieking.
She picked up the Sanqing Bell and waved it in front of the man.
As the crisp, ethereal sound rang out, the man closed his eyes, sinking into his memories, and Yun Ran, holding the Sanqing Bell, also jumped into this segment of his recollections.
Two days ago,
After delivering a paper villa and a series of other items as requested by the client,
while driving back, he somehow got lost, and the GPS on his phone was of no help.
The Amulets he had placed in his car flickered for a moment then rapidly dimmed, so quickly that the man barely noticed.
As it gradually became darker, the man grew anxious and accidentally hit a rock with his car.
The rock inadvertently cracked open, and a toad jumped out.
The toad hopped into his car unnoticed.
Fortunately, he eventually found his way, but after returning, his body started experiencing problems.
The masters he consulted only saw countless black threads entwining him, as if there was a huge black hole behind him, about to devour him.
When they tried to save the man, those black threads, as if alive, aggressively threatened them.
Naturally, those masters were terrified. With their skills, they could only be sending themselves to their doom.
Having seen what happened, Yun Ran immediately exited the man’s memories, and he opened his eyes.
He had no idea what had happened before, only aware that he seemed to be entangled by something, until Yun Ran just now entered his memory.
It was only then that he realized what he had encountered earlier. Those eerie black threads made his heart uncontrollably shiver.
"Master, please save me!!!"
"The black threads you saw are your shadow, trying to devour you; it is your shadow. Have you heard of Shadow Devouring Master?
Although I don’t know what great fortune your shadow received, it indeed has developed spiritual wisdom and even wants to replace you.
Your ancestors must have done many good deeds; that blessing protected you. When your shadow tried to devour you, you saved the sealed toad, and it was what saved your life."
At this moment, the man’s body was covered in goosebumps. He had just revisited his memories from God’s Eye View, seeing the toad again.
He thought he was being entangled by the toad. Was it really the one that saved him?
"Master, what should I do!"
Before it’s clear why the shadow developed spiritual wisdom, using brute force methods might harm the real host.
Yun Ran instantly drew a talisman on the spot and handed it to the man: "This talisman will keep you safe and sound for a month. Once we find out what caused your shadow to develop spiritual wisdom, we can then completely resolve the issues troubling you."
