Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 65 - 64 Did she pay her tax? (2 more updates)

"I truly didn’t expect this, even foreigners know about fortune-telling now. That’s really something."

"There’s nothing strange about that. You haven’t seen it before, but there was a foreigner who went to a Taoist Temple to become an apprentice, and people called him the Foreign Taoist. He even opened a clinic for traditional Chinese medicine."

"I’m just curious, what do these foreigners come to fortune-tell? Too bad, I don’t understand English."

...

"Master, can you help me see how my luck is?"

One of the foreigners was brimming with excitement, and although Yun Ran didn’t know what they were so excited about, they clearly seemed to think the price was agreeable.

One of them took out a wallet, then slowly counted the money, as leisurely as an elderly lady.

"2000 yuan, for you."

Yun Ran calmly accepted the money; the foreigner who paid sat down and immediately introduced himself: "My name is Peter, but I have a Hua Country name too—The White Dragon Horse!"

The onlookers who understood burst out laughing.

The man hurriedly apologized: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. It’s just that the name The White Dragon Horse caught me off guard."

Peter seemed immune to such reactions, smiling nonchalantly.

"Don’t worry, I have a good temper. You’re not the first one to laugh at my name, but I think the name I picked is pretty good."

He said this in his broken Hua Country language, and the crowd around felt a bit embarrassed, giving condemning glances to the man who laughed.

It’s their wish what name they pick; how can you laugh at them like that? You’ll make these foreign friends think we have no manners!

Don’t let their usual cynicism fool you; underhandedly poking at sore spots is common.

But when it comes to outsiders, they naturally show their cultivation and absolutely can’t be seen as the butt of jokes.

The condemning glances made the man who laughed feel increasingly embarrassed, apologizing over and over.

If it weren’t for his desire to witness the rarity of a foreigner getting their fortune told, he would have probably left in low spirits by now.

Peter hurriedly reported his birth information; he had done his homework, knowing that this was needed for fortune-telling.

Yun Ran glanced at it, then paused, looking at Peter’s face.

He looked to be in his late twenties, it’s hard to believe he is only 18. He really grew up too fast.

Yun Ran started to work out the divination based on his birth information, but suddenly stopped and took another look at Peter’s facial features.

This pause left the surrounding onlookers puzzled. Could it be she didn’t know how to do it? Wouldn’t this make the foreigners think they’ve encountered a scammer?

"Do you have a twin brother?"

Peter was already confused by Yun Ran stopping, and hearing her question, his face was full of shock.

"How... how did you know!"

"Of course I worked it out. Moreover, your twin brother has been separated from you since birth."

Peter exclaimed in awe, "Master, you’re amazing, you actually know I have a brother, woo, God, there really is a deity!!!"

Ginsengfruit could even feel like its toes were curling with the sensation of digging out a three-room flat.

"[Host, these foreigners, they really are full of emotion.]"

Yun Ran agreed wholeheartedly with Ginsengfruit’s words; she too felt goosebumps.

"Unfortunately, my brother died shortly after birth, and my daddy and mommy were very heartbroken..."

Peter felt a bit sad mentioning the brother he’d never met, but he wouldn’t take his sorrow out on others.

"Your brother isn’t dead, but he is close to dying. The birth information you gave me faintly exudes a Death Energy.

However, looking at your facial features, you should live well into your seventies or eighties, so the one close to death can only be your twin."

Peter stood up abruptly: "What did you say? My brother is still alive!"

"For the time being."

Yun Ran is very precise and wouldn’t give her customer any handle to criticize her.

"Where is he!"

"Calm down, take a seat."

Peter obediently sat back down, while his companions also watched Yun Ran with anxious eyes.

They were all long-time friends of Peter’s and were unaware that Peter had a twin brother declared dead.

The witch had deduced as much just from the birth information, leaving them stunned.

Now, hearing that Peter’s brother is alive but that he might soon die, they naturally felt a sense of urgency.

Yun Ran passed the turtle shell to Peter: "Shake it."

Peter did as told.

Seeing the Divination, Yun Ran’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Peter, who was already intently watching her face, turned a shade paler.

He was, after all, an 18-year-old young man. No matter how mature he appeared, facing a crisis related to his family, he couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

"Your brother was taken away by a nurse from the hospital. She gave the child to her sister who had delivered a stillbirth.

For the first ten years, your brother also had some good days, but later, his adoptive parents died in a car accident, and your brother became an orphan.

Based on the current Divination, it seems your brother was injured by someone, but he has no money for the hospital and is waiting to die on the street."

As Peter listened to the tragic state of his brother, he covered his mouth in sorrow, pausing before asking, "Master, do you know where he is?"

Yun Ran is not familiar with foreign map, so she had to recalculate the distance.

"He’s in a city next to your home, about 500 kilometers away from your place. There is a clock tower there, and your brother is in the alley behind the clock tower. He has no more than two days left."

After hearing this, Peter knew the place; he had visited it before with classmates.

"Thank you, Master, I’ll call my family immediately. If I really find my brother, I’ll definitely present you with a banner of appreciation!"

"[Wow, this kid actually learned some of Hua Country’s customs and even knows about presenting banners of appreciation. Unfortunately, it seems he’s got it a bit mixed up; it’s those with iron rice bowls who like such things.]"

The bystanders whispered among themselves.

"Is this young lady really some kind of expert? To speak with such detail, could she have arranged a mascot?"

"If they were to hire a mascot, they wouldn’t pick a foreigner. I don’t think it’s staged. Too bad, 2000 yuan per divination is really a bit expensive. Otherwise, I would like to try my luck to see when I’ll get rich."

"Just three divinations a day, that’s 6000 yuan. That’s higher than a white-collar salary. I’m envious. But has she paid her taxes?"

...

Yun Ran didn’t even know that her fame hadn’t really kicked off yet, but people were already envious of her income.
