Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1549 - 1392: Fortune-telling (Combined)

"My weapon isn’t anything to brag about, it’s not top-notch. What’s up, coming to sell more cold-weather clothes?"

Su Ran offhandedly carried over the bone scythe, turning his attention to Uncle Yu, "With the current scorching weather, your cold-weather clothes must be a tough sell..."

"Don’t even mention it! Just thinking about those cold-weather clothes pisses me off!"

Uncle Yu was incredibly irritable, which was evident on his face. With clenched teeth, he grumbled, "Some jerk cracked open my warehouse and didn’t leave a single piece, talk about ruthless!"

Su Ran’s mouth twitched subconsciously, nearly bursting out with laughter. He could feel the resentment radiating from the fellow in front of him. Luckily, his skin was thick enough to handle it. Any other person would be guilt-ridden and looking for an excuse to leave, not standing here so nonchalantly.

However, from what Uncle Yu had said, Su Ran was certain that the Fire Rat Wolf definitely had an unspeakable (female connection) with him! From the missing chickens to the Fire Rat Wolf’s lair, it was all a scheme set by Uncle Yu and Old Man Fan to trap him, but luckily he slipped away swiftly. Otherwise, he’d be cornered for sure!

"By the way, how did you manage to leave the barren ridges?"

Uncle Yu asked casually, apparently still harboring some suspicion towards Su Ran and trying to coax more information out of him.

"The barren ridges? I never went there. I was planning to ask you about it, but after roaming around, that old hen just came back on her own. Such luck, nobody can match it!"

"I have other matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave now."

Uncle Yu gave up completely, never expecting to be bested by a weak human. If this continued, it’d only add to his embarrassment.

"Phew, he’s finally gone. Good thing I didn’t give myself away!"

After watching Uncle Yu leave, Su Ran finally relaxed. Resolving the cause and effect with him also lifted a weight off his heart.

In the sweltering city heat, Su Ran hurriedly entered the market to find Wang Heizi. During the process of completing the task, he was pleasantly surprised to learn that the quest could be taken repeatedly!

No point in hesitating. Su Ran handed over all the whiskers for the quest, raking in 600 immortal coins—at last, his initial goal was achieved!

Not an easy feat, but he was finally making some progress...

After parting ways with Wang Heizi, Su Ran headed straight for the secluded cottage. He wanted to gather some insider information from the elderly fortune teller before the great battle between the Fire God and the Black Tiger of Extinction. The goal was to get his hands on the Trial Space walkthrough and earn the qualification to leave the Trial Space. Then, having nothing to worry about, he could finally break ties with the Fire God.

"Young man, what’s with the rush? Have some manners!"

The elderly fortune teller was startled by Su Ran’s abrupt behavior and complained, "If I didn’t know you, I might have thought you were here to rob me!"

"..."

Su Ran was speechless, criticizing inwardly, as if I’d rob someone like you. Besides, I don’t even have the ’equipment’ for that sort of thing—even if it was right in front of me...

What would I do? Whittle some bones?

A sweat drop here...

"Senior, you worry too much. I’ve come for a fortune telling, to continue from before..."

Su Ran hadn’t finished his sentence when the elderly fortune teller cut him off.

"Don’t rush, let me calculate first."

The elderly fortune teller closed her eyes and outstretched her withered hand, beginning to perform calculations with her fingers.

As the saying goes, insiders see things one way, outsiders enjoy the show. Su Ran fell into the latter category. Watching the fortune teller’s sage-like demeanor, he had to admit she looked the part; he just hoped not to be duped by this old lady!

"Senior, did you doze off?"

To Su Ran’s surprise, the elderly fortune teller stopped moving while calculating, even her breathing seemed to cease.

"Oh crap, this isn’t some scam, is it?"

"What scam? Shut it!"

Interrupted by him, the elderly fortune teller showed displeasure. She opened her eyes and glared fiercely at Su Ran, like the steely gaze of a vulture, piercing deep into Su Ran’s soul.

A shiver ran through Su Ran’s Soul Fire, and goosebumps covered his skin. He underestimated her—her piercing look made him acutely aware of the power disparity between them. It wasn’t hard to guess that in her youth, she must have been someone significant!

No wonder the entire Black Tiger of Extinction clan was sealed away. The Fire God City had hidden experts everyplace; even this old woman possessed such strength. The defeat from that battle wasn’t unjust!

Chastened by the warning, Su Ran learned his lesson and didn’t dare to speak out of turn. He patiently waited for the woman to divine the trajectory of fate—an ordinary fortune telling.

"Young man, you have a rebellious spirit and refuse to be constrained by others. You’re bound to achieve great things!"

The more the elderly fortune teller calculated, the more amazed she became. Her gaze towards Su Ran changed, and her expression turned grave. "I wonder whether the Fire God’s decision to choose you for the trial was right or wrong..."

Rebellious spirit?

No way, could it be that accurate?

Without any hints, how did she figure it out?

Making an enemy of the Fire God was a thought Su Ran just recently had, and he hadn’t told anyone— not even the Black Tiger knew. Yet, the elderly fortune teller had deduced it so easily?

That’s a bit too exaggerated, isn’t it?!

A look of astonishment crossed Su Ran’s face. He regarded the elderly fortune teller before him with newfound reverence, never imagining she could be so formidable.

But at the end of the day, Su Ran had already made his decision. Even if it was exposed, what of it? With the backing of the Black Tiger clan, he had nothing to fear!
