Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Si Gu Jian Zi's heart inexplicably beat a little faster, and she replied in a low voice, "I, I don't mind either."

"Alright then, let's go test now!"

Yurikawa Hana pulled Si Gu Jian Zi and walked in first, with Bai Luo following closely behind.

"Distinguished guests, what can I help you with?"

A kind voice sounded. It was an old woman wearing a black and red wizard robe.

"Can we get our fortunes told about our romantic relationships?"

"Romantic relationships?"

The kind smile on her face instantly stiffened. The fortune-teller complexly sized up Si Gu Jian Zi and Yurikawa Hana, then quickly returned to normal and smiled, "Of course you can, please extend your hands."

"No, Grandma, you misunderstood, it's not the two of us who want to get our fortunes told."

Hearing this, Yurikawa Hana waved her hands repeatedly, an awkward expression unavoidable on her energetic face.

She pointed to Bai Luo behind her, "It's my two friends who want to get their fortunes told, I'm just accompanying them."

Following the direction of Yurikawa Hana's finger, the fortune-teller's gaze fell upon a youthful figure. The smile on her face stiffened again. Although she maintained her expression, a careful observer could notice a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

She really couldn't figure it out.

Are young people nowadays all this outrageous?

He clearly looked the same age as her granddaughter. If the two girls in front wanted their fortunes told, she could perhaps try to mislead them a little.

But this...

The fortune-teller's strange gaze naturally didn't escape Si Gu Jian Zi's eyes, but with the words already out, there was no turning back. She could only point to a box of prayer beads behind the fortune-teller and ask,

"How much are those prayer beads, can they expel evil spirits?"

"Of course, these are prayer beads containing real magical power, capable of easily dispelling all evil spirits."

The fortune-teller said, turned around, and took out the box of prayer beads.

"Seeing that you are fated, I'll sell them to you cheaper, only twenty thousand."

So expensive.

If she really bought them.

Her remaining small savings would be completely empty.

But if they were genuine, they would be too helpful for her, absolutely worth more than the price.

Si Gu Jian Zi was very conflicted. She turned her head to look at Bai Luo, wanting him to help her make a decision.

"Can I try them on first?"

Bai Luo asked the fortune-teller.

"Of course you can."

The fortune-teller kindly took out the prayer beads and handed them over.

"Thank you."

Si Gu Jian Zi took the prayer beads and put them on her wrist. At the same time, Bai Luo quietly released a trace of his Boundary Youkai aura.

Evil spirits are considered ominous.

And the ability of a Boundary Youkai is even more ominous than ominous.

Therefore, Bai Luo speculated that it should have a stronger effect on the prayer beads than evil spirits.

As expected, it was just as he had guessed.

As soon as the Boundary Youkai aura was released, the prayer beads trembled incessantly, as if sensing something terrifying.

"Bang—!"

With a crisp sound, the prayer beads on Si Gu Jian Zi's wrist suddenly exploded, scattering everywhere.

The fortune-teller stood frozen in place, completely unaware that she had been hit by the scattered prayer beads.

Yurikawa Hana quickly went up to check if Jian Zi was injured, "Jian Zi, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Si Gu Jian Zi shook her head.

At this moment, the fortune-teller also reacted and showed an apologetic look, "Perhaps the rubber string has aged, I'll get you a different strand."

She turned her back, her expression becoming solemn. She glanced at Si Gu Jian Zi out of the corner of her eye and thought to herself, "It seems this young girl has encountered quite a bit of trouble recently."

Then she looked at Yurikawa Hana out of the corner of her eye, seeing the constantly overflowing spiritual energy of life from her, she was slightly surprised in her heart.

If it were before, she would definitely have taken her as a disciple, but looking at the girl's energetic and innocent appearance, the fortune-teller still gave up on pulling this child into this field.

Finally, her gaze fell upon Bai Luo. She carefully examined him for a while but found no abnormalities.

The fortune-teller turned the rotary combination lock on top. Before long, with a click, the safe opened.

She took out a dark red box from it and used a small knife to cut the talismans wrapped around it.

The moment the box opened, streaks of golden light burst forth from it. Not only were Si Gu Jian Zi and Yurikawa Hana shocked, but even Bai Luo was slightly taken aback.

Can this thing even emit golden light?

Why have Reimu's talismans never had this effect?

Bai Luo investigated a bit and finally found the reason.

Besides having the effect of expelling evil spirits, this strand of prayer beads also had an added glowing effect.

It looks quite impressive. Maybe I should add a glowing effect to my talismans when I refine them in the future?

"Young girl, don't worry. This is leagues apart from the previous strand. This one was refined during my peak, and it can definitely dispel any evil spirit."

"Oh, okay."

Si Gu Jian Zi took the prayer beads and put them on her hand. Whether it was a psychological effect or some other reason, she indeed felt a little lighter.

As if remembering something, Si Gu Jian Zi carefully asked, "How much are these prayer beads?"

"They're free, I'm giving them to you, young girl."

The fortune-teller saw her embarrassment and waved her hand.

Although she had been making money through third-rate tricks over the years, she hadn't fallen to the point of not helping a child the same age as her granddaughter.

"This, is this really okay?"

Si Gu Jian Zi asked in surprise.

"Of course."

The fortune-teller nodded and smiled, "As long as it can serve its purpose, I'll be satisfied."

"Then thank you so much for giving me such a valuable gift."

Si Gu Jian Zi bowed in thanks.

The fortune-teller waved her hand again, indicating there was no need for more words, and then took down a box from the highest position on the cabinet behind her.

Opening the box, she took out a bracelet and handed it to Bai Luo.

"Children your age are most likely to encounter ominous things. Let Grandma give you a bracelet that can ward off spirits and protect you."

"For me?"

Bai Luo was momentarily stunned. He could understand Jian Zi receiving the prayer beads, but why him? However, he quickly understood the reason from the fortune-teller's loving gaze, which was like looking at her own granddaughter.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Luo still accepted it.

Although this bracelet had no effect on him, its effect was even less than the cluster of spiritual talismans Reimu used to prop up table legs, since someone kindly gave it to him, it wasn't good to directly refuse.

"What about me, what about me! Grandma, do I get one too!?"

Yurikawa Hana raised her hand, unwilling to be left out, her eyes sparkling.

Remembering her original intention, the fortune-teller was also generous and gave her a strand. It couldn't compare to the previous two gifts, but it was still a notch better than ordinary goods.

Chapter Fourteen: Fortune-telling, Going to Jian Zi's House.

The three people walked out of the commercial street.

Yurikawa Hana suddenly remembered their purpose and quickly pulled Si Gu Jian Zi and Bai Luo back.

"Grandma, please help the two of them test their romantic relationships!"

Bai Luo naturally placed his hand on the table.

Si Gu Jian Zi once again faced the fortune-teller's strange gaze, but there was no retreat, so she also placed her hand on the table.

The fortune-teller first carefully examined Si Gu Jian Zi's palm lines, muttering something under her breath. After a while, she withdrew her hand, but her expression became complex.

"Is something wrong?"

Si Gu Jian Zi also became nervous.

"According to your fortune, young girl, your first fifteen years should be smooth, but there will be a great calamity afterwards. This calamity will accompany you for your entire life, and you have no marital fate."

Hearing this, Yurikawa Hana immediately widened her eyes and hurriedly asked, "Is there any way to avoid it?"

The fortune-teller shook her head, "No need, this young girl doesn't need to do anything."

Blinking her eyes, Yurikawa Hana asked confusedly, "But Grandma, didn't you say Jian Zi would have a calamity that would accompany her for her entire life?"

"That's where the problem lies. Originally, it was like that, but for some unknown reason, another fortune line appeared, one that is almost completely opposite."

"A completely opposite fortune line?"

Yurikawa Hana became even more bewildered.

The fortune-teller continued to explain, "I also can't fully understand the other fortune line, but what's certain is that the young girl has met a benefactor. Because of this, she not only overcame the calamity but also gained a great opportunity."

Hearing this, Yurikawa Hana finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good then."

Afterwards, the fortune-teller's gaze turned to Bai Luo. After just a brief look, her originally relaxed face tightened up again.

And Yurikawa Hana's heart rose again. She weakly asked, "Are my two friends this prone to trouble?"

The fortune-teller shook her head, "It's not because they are prone to trouble. This little child's fortune line is even more miraculous, I can't see any information at all."

Yurikawa Hana was speechless.

If it weren't for the glittering golden prayer beads just now, she would have suspected that this old woman in front of her was trying to fool people.

Suddenly, she remembered the purpose of their trip and pressed on, "Then how are their romantic relationships? Will they end up together?"

Si Gu Jian Zi also pricked up her ears and became nervous.

"They should be able to, but..."

The fortune-teller hesitated, a hint of difficulty between her brows.

Yurikawa Hana hurriedly urged, "What is it? It's not that their path to love is full of obstacles, is it?"

The fortune-teller shook her head and turned her gaze towards Si Gu Jian Zi.

"Although I cannot see a marital line on that little child, I can still see signs from this young girl that they will become husband and wife in the future. It's just..."

She stopped here, seeming to hesitate whether to say it.

Yurikawa Hana was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan:

"Just what? Grandma, please stop keeping us in suspense!"

Seeing this, the fortune-teller sighed and finally made it clear:

"This little child will likely have more than one marital fate, possibly even many."

Yurikawa Hana was dumbfounded for a moment.

So, does that mean Bai Luo will have many wives in the future, not just Jian Zi?

...

Walking out of the psychic shop.

Yurikawa Hana looked at Si Gu Jian Zi walking ahead, then reacted and walked up to comfort her:
