Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 731: Chapter 724: Calamity of Bloodshed

When Sisi walked over from the welcoming monk, Shi Zhenzhen and Mo Liu were no longer in their original spots. Mo Liu was observing the statues of the Eighteen Arhats, while Shi Zhenzhen was shaking a divination stick. Judging by her beaming face, it must have been a good one.

Following Shi Zhenzhen’s suggestion, Sisi also shook a stick, and it was a top-tier fortune. Shi Zhenzhen’s was also a top-tier fortune.

Could it be that all the sticks in the barrel are top-tier?

Sisi wanted to shake out all the sticks to see, but the people behind were urging her on, so she reluctantly passed the barrel to the next tourists.

In one corner of the main hall, there was a monk dedicated to interpreting the fortunes. However, he was very busy, so Sisi rolled her eyes and dragged Sisi to find the Master Jiechen they met earlier.

Weren’t they supposed to be high monks?

The basic task of interpreting fortunes should be quite familiar to them, right?

The master who had just earned fifty thousand dollars was leisurely sipping tea in the corner. When he saw Sisi, his eyes lit up again.

Sisi: Do you really think I’m an easy mark?

"I have two sticks here; trouble you to interpret them, Master."

Having taken my money, you should do some work, right?

Master Jiechen first took Shi Zhenzhen’s stick and asked her what she sought.

"Marriage!" Miss Shi replied shyly.

"A good fortune, the star of marriage is already moving for the female patron. Good things are near!"

Master’s words filled Shi Zhenzhen with joy, her face blushing, and she repeatedly asked about the whereabouts of the man.

"Far away in the sky, but right in front of you!" Master said ambiguously, but Shi Zhenzhen immediately glanced at Mo Liu under the Dragon Slayer Arhat.

"There is one more thing to say, good things take their time; the female patron must be patient!" Master Jiechen added.

This made Shi Zhenzhen anxious, repeatedly asking how long it would take, but the master just chanted Buddha’s name and wouldn’t say anything more.

Sisi looked at this old monk suspiciously, feeling that this guy was a bit of a charlatan and not very reliable. But since it was all for fun, she let him make things up as he pleased!

She handed over her stick, "For peace!"

"A good fortune; indeed, the female patron has deep fortune and wealth, leading a peaceful life surrounded by children and grandchildren. It’s truly the best of fortunes!" the master said with spittle flying, his eyes shining more excitedly than Sisi’s.

Sisi was quite pleased to hear it, except this master always liked to add a caveat after good words.

"Although the female patron will have a smooth life, there are still some minor troubles. In the coming days, beware of a minor accident involving blood; better to be cautious!"

Sisi frowned; was this true or false?

Could this old monk be deliberately deceiving people?

Master Jiechen watched Sisi’s figure as she walked away, his face calm, but inside he was in turmoil.

The stick that Sisi shook just now was actually the best top-tier fortune of the Big Buddha Temple. In the three hundred years since the temple opened, only one person had shaken it before, and that person later reached the pinnacle of power and enjoyed a peaceful old age.

Sisi was the second one.

So there really are people with great fortune in this world!

And he happened to encounter her!

In the future, it would be wise to cultivate a good relationship with this female patron; perhaps he too might attain enlightenment?

A cunning smile appeared on the otherwise ordinary face of the old monk, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

Shi Zhenzhen noticed Sisi seemed a bit upset and thought she was unhappy about the master’s prediction of a minor accident. She quickly consoled her, saying it was all just for fun and not to be believed.

Sisi, of course, wasn’t upset about the monk’s talk of an accident. She was just lost in thought for a moment. She shook her head, saying it was nothing, and joined Shi Zhenzhen to make wishes at the Wishing Tree, then went to other halls to offer incense.

The temple was bustling with incense offerings, and the incense altars and offering stands in front of the halls were already filled with candles. The air was thick with the scent of incense.

Sisi went to buy candles and also purchased the Peace Scripture, Wealth God Scripture, Top Scorer Scripture, and more, intending to burn them all for the Bodhisattva.

First, she lit three sticks of incense, bowed three times towards the main hall, and inserted the incense into the altar. Then she lit two pairs of red candles; the wax dripped like red tears, quickly catching fire, with the flames flickering in the wind.

Sisi and Shi Zhenzhen were focused on their worship and didn’t notice that a woman wearing large sunglasses had squeezed in beside them — the mysterious Lady Xue.

Lady Xue curled her lips, lit a pair of red candles, and meaningfully glanced at Sisi, who was still busy with the candles.

"Oh no!"

Lady Xue suddenly slipped, her hand trembled, and the fiercely burning candle fell down, heading straight for Sisi’s calf.

The temperature in G City is usually quite high; even though it’s only early spring, it’s already twenty-five degrees with bright sunshine, so Sisi wore a long dress with long stockings today, a very relaxed outfit.

Although cool, stockings are the most flammable material. The burning candle head happened to touch Sisi’s calf, instantly creating a small hole, which quickly began to spread.

Sisi felt a sharp pain in her calf, looked down, and realized it was on fire. Without thinking, she instinctively bent down and scooped water from the trough below the candle stand to splash on her leg.

Luckily, she reacted quickly; within just a few seconds, the fire was out. However, the stocking now had a large hole the size of a bowl, with exposed red skin that was painfully throbbing.

Sisi felt intense pain and disgust. In the heat of the moment, she hadn’t thought much, but now she realized how dirty that water trough must be!

She took a teacup from her bag, poured some water on her leg to clean it, and then applied medicinal wine to disinfect the wound, which made her feel a bit better.

"You can’t just leave after burning someone!"

Shi Zhenzhen shouted as she rushed forward like the wind, grabbing a woman and pulling her back.

"Sisi, it’s this person who caused your burn!"

Sisi looked up to see a woman with big waves and large sunglasses, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Lady Xue, a pleasure to meet you!"

Then she reached out and took off Lady Xue’s sunglasses, revealing an irresistibly captivating face. Many tourists gathered around, fascinated by the drama between the two exquisite beauties.

One was enchanting and alluring, the other pristine and ethereal.

What a rare spectacle!

Sisi casually tossed the sunglasses into the blackened water trough. Lady Xue’s face turned pale as she glared at Sisi with hate.

Unexpectedly, He Sisi had tracked her down. She wondered what else Sisi might have uncovered?

But since she only called her Lady Xue, it probably meant she had only found out about her dealings in the club.

Feeling somewhat relieved, but still cautious not to underestimate He Sisi, Lady Xue just wanted to return to Ah Shen and figure out what to do.

"Miss, it was wrong of me just now. I’m sorry. Please forgive me and don’t hold it against me. Here is some money as compensation for your medical expenses."

Lady Xue put on a fragile demeanor, causing the men around to stare. Smugly, she took out a bundle of money from her bag and handed it to Sisi.

Sisi didn’t take the money; instead, she pulled out an even thicker wad from her own bag and sneered: "I’ll give you this money if you let me burn you a little, too."

Lady Xue was dressed in black stockings and a leather miniskirt today, both cool and sexy.

Having already witnessed the speed at which Sisi’s stocking burned, she dared not risk it herself.
