The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 111 This...this is a golden toad! (2nd update)
The man had originally thought that he should ask Yunran for her contact information, or at least have a meal with her before leaving.

Before she could even speak to stop him, she saw Yunran stop again.

Following Yun Ran's gaze, he also saw the toad.

In the past, he would have grabbed a broom and chased the toad away, but the master said that this little thing had saved him from a calamity; otherwise, he would have been harmed by that strange shadow long ago.

"Master, I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. How did it suddenly appear today!"

No wonder the man was surprised; he's a very clean person, and although he's been a bit lax lately, he still cleans every day.

The toad's sudden appearance puzzled him.

When Yunran looked at the toad, the toad also looked at her, clearly showing that it had developed sentience.

"If you really don't want that bone bead, you can give it to it to eat, as a way of repaying the debt of gratitude it owed you for protecting you before."

The man was a little stunned when he heard this. It wasn't that he was unwilling; the bone bead had been a family heirloom in his possession.

But now that he knows this thing was created by an evil cultivator and almost cost him his life, he no longer cares about it.

I felt like I had a hot potato to handle and didn't know what to do with it.

Now that Yunran has told him how to handle it, he can accept it.

But I'm really curious, can a toad eat bone beads?

However, he didn't stop what he was doing for a moment, and hurriedly threw the bone bead over. His impatient manner showed that he no longer liked the bone bead.

The toad reacted quickly, curling its tongue and swallowing the bone bead whole.

Before long, the toad, which looked rather ugly, began to change color, slowly turning from dull and gray to golden.

It also grew much bigger, transforming from a nobody in the toad world into an elite in an instant.

"This...this is a golden toad!"

"Take good care of it; it will bring you wealth and prosperity."

With that, Yun Ran left, and Old Liu quickly followed, leaving the man standing there, somewhat questioning his existence.

How did a perfectly normal toad suddenly mutate into a golden toad?

Old Liu was also curious, but knowing the rules, he didn't ask anything.

"Let's find a shady spot and set up a fortune-telling stall!"

Old Liu went to find a place, while Yunran returned to the car to rest.

She seemed confident of victory when she made her move, but it still aggravated her internal injuries, so she needs to rest for a while.

[Host, was that toad bargaining with you just now? Good heavens, I've never seen anything like it! It turned into a golden toad!]

"It told me where the treasure was, and I helped it get the bone beads to advance its level. It's a fair trade."

Who would have thought that the toad had its eyes on the bone bead on the shopkeeper from the very beginning? However, it knew that the bone bead was evil, and if it swallowed it directly, it would probably not have a good ending.

She saved the shop owner but managed to remain hidden until she removed the evil from the bone bead. Only then did she reveal herself, immediately creating a treasure trove and giving herself a chance to advance into a golden toad.

Wow, these days even these little guys are so good at weighing the pros and cons, knowing how to find a good way out for themselves.

[Becoming a golden toad is a very auspicious omen. Coupled with the life-saving grace, the shop owner will surely feed it plenty of rare and precious herbs in the future. This deal is truly worthwhile.]

"So, we can't underestimate any sentient being. Who knows what they're up to?" Old Liu returned quickly and found Yunran a good intersection with decent foot traffic and many people doing square dancing nearby. It was a perfect spot.

Yunran took her small stall and went over.

As soon as it was set up, people came over to watch the fun, some even coming from the group of people playing chess next door.

An elderly man wearing a vest, shorts, and slippers kept glancing at the wooden sign that Yunran was standing next to.

"Young lady, you've set up your stall in the wrong place. The people here aren't that rich. Your fortune telling is worth 2000 yuan; you're probably going to be left empty-handed today!"

"That's right, 2000 yuan is enough for a month's food expenses. Wasting it here would be a real waste."

"Can such a young girl really make accurate predictions? Is she a scammer?"

……

This time, Yunran didn't let Lao Liu stand next to her, so the onlookers assumed that she was just an ordinary, pretty young girl.

But sometimes, people just have a natural curiosity.

The more people feel that no one is coming to have their fortunes told, the more people want to challenge them, or even prove that Yun Ran is a fraud.

Sure enough, an old man wearing glasses stepped forward: "I'm here to expose these fakes!"

The others immediately looked on with anticipation; this person was a local celebrity.

The children in the family are exceptionally successful and have plenty of money, but they are also very intolerant of any wrongdoing and always want to get involved in everything.

They talked about everything from national affairs to other topics, from whose daughter-in-law was unfilial to whose mother-in-law mistreated her.

In short, there's nothing he can't get involved in.

"Young lady, are your predictions accurate?"

The reason why an old fox is an old fox is because they never leave any loopholes in their work.

"If the calculation is inaccurate, you don't have to pay."

The old man immediately shook his head: "You can't do it this way. If you calculate accurately, you charge 2000; if you calculate inaccurately, you don't charge. No matter how you look at it, you haven't taken any responsibility."

The world is full of all sorts of people, and Yunran didn't care about the old man's grudges.

He asked frankly, "Then what kind of price do you think would be appropriate?"

A confident smile immediately appeared on the old man's face, and those around him, seeing this, had a vague sense of reassurance.

In the past, whenever Old Man Huo showed such a smile, it meant that the person he had his eye on was going to be in big trouble.

"The goods in the mall are all guaranteed to be genuine, with a penalty of ten times the price. Your fortune telling, although not a product, is still a form of service."

Since you're so young, I won't be so harsh. I'll just fine you three times the amount. If your divination is accurate, I'll give you 2000 yuan as a fortune-telling fee.

But if your divination is inaccurate, you'll have to pay three times the divination fee. I, this old man, won't take your money. You can just put the fine into that donation box over there to do good deeds, how about that?

Yunran followed the direction the old man pointed and saw a lotus pond not far away, with a huge donation box next to it.

Turning her gaze away, Yun Ran showed no sign of panic and said calmly, "Of course, there's no problem."

The old man smiled and sat down, seemingly unconcerned that the young girl in front of him might refuse to admit defeat.
