After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

At this moment, she was sitting at an empty table. There was nothing on the table except a cup of steaming tea, indicating that she and he were kindred spirits.

The girl held a newly published landscape newspaper in her hand, her big, bright eyes secretly observing Xiao Yu from behind the newspaper.

When Xiao Yu looked over, it instantly shuddered, like a startled cat with its fur standing on end. The curly ahoge on its head stood up like an antenna.

She quickly lowered her head and curled up, the small newspaper temporarily obscuring her entire figure. Of course, her small feet, which were so nervous they didn't know where to put them, were still visible under the table.

?

A question mark appeared above Xiao Yu's head. This is... a paparazzi from the Eight Trigrams Sect?

He touched the fake face covering his mask; he shouldn't have been exposed.

Or perhaps she's one of his fans? That makes even less sense.

With this question in mind, Xiao Yu got up and went to the girl who was hiding behind the newspaper, curled up in a ball and trembling.

"You can't see me...you can't see me...you can't see me."

As soon as you get close, a rather frequent murmur comes from under that trembling body. At first glance, it looks like an adorable little glutinous rice ball.

What a self-deceiving act.

Hello! May I ask...?

Xiao Yu just tapped the table, wanting to ask if this glutinous rice ball was a paparazzi from the Bagua Sect.

Could they have recognized his face hidden under the mask? These guys who are always trying to dig up some juicy go to any lengths, using all sorts of strange and unusual spells. Maybe one of them is a spell that can recognize people.

Taking photos of him without permission or misusing his image rights will result in fines.

"Waaah...no...don't hit me! I shouldn't have peeked at you! I'm so skinny, all bones. It'll hurt you to hit me. Am I going to die at the hands of this violent maniac today? Waaah...I'm doomed."

Whoosh!

soon!

Before Xiao Yu could even see her movements, the pale blue glutinous rice ball had already crawled under the table, covering her head with her hands and looking terrified.

Xiao Yu: "…………"

Could it be that she saw him slap himself and now thinks he's some kind of violent, short-tempered maniac?

Looking under the table, I saw a girl cowering with her head in her hands, like a timid mushroom.

Xiao Yu thought it was unlikely that this guy was a paparazzi from the Bagua Sect.

After all, what paparazzi is so timid and afraid of people?

Right now, it looks like he's the one bullying people.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of those around, lest one or two heroes suddenly appear and cause any trouble.

Xiao Yu could only try his best to explain to the girl who was still under the table in a gentle voice:

"You must have misunderstood something, cough cough... I don't hit people. That guy was a salesman. He wouldn't leave without a bit of force. Do I look like someone who would bully others?"

After saying that, Xiao Yu revealed a harmless smile.

Suddenly, silence fell under the table. After a moment, a delicate, fair face peeked out, its bright eyes scanning Xiao Yu from head to toe before it nodded emphatically.

"picture!"

........................

Inside the restaurant.

Xiao Yu sat facing the timid girl in front of him.

"Waiter, warm a bowl of wine... um... and give her a cup of tea as well."

"Yes, sir!"

After greeting the waiter, Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the young girl in front of him.

"Speak up, is there something you want to tell me that you've been staring at me like that?"

To be honest, I didn't see it clearly from a distance, but now that we're sitting face to face, this little glutinous rice ball looks quite pretty.

Her long, light blue hair was not yet styled, with the ends falling to her waist and tied at the end with a hair tie with bells, making her look delicate and cute. Her tender face looked as if a light touch could leave a red mark on it, making her look very delicate.

She was wearing a black and blue dress, with black making up a smaller proportion, used to accentuate the girl's curvaceous figure.

Now she sits opposite Xiao Yu, her slender waist straight, a faint blush on her small face. Compared to the beginning, she is much calmer now.

It took Xiao Yu a lot of effort to explain to her that he was not a person who advocated violence.

Call ~

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself, then looked at Xiao Yu with a hint of earnestness in her bright eyes:

"I'm so sorry for being so rude, letting you see me in such an embarrassing state. Actually, I don't go out very often, especially... coming to a place with so many people and so many eyes, I can't help but feel a little nervous."

Moreover, today's divination indicates that this trip may involve bloodshed, so I was a bit nervous. Just now, I thought you were going to rush at me to hit me, after all, I was the one who secretly observed you first.

She caught a glimpse of the bustling crowd around her and instinctively shrank back.

She perfectly embodies the image of a socially awkward, homebody girl.

Listening to her explanation, Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"Actually, I'm a somewhat well-known fortune teller, or you could call me an astrologer. My name is Bu Suantian. A few days ago, I was bored and did a fortune telling for myself, and I found out that I... am going to die!"

The girl spoke earnestly, her serious expression suggesting she desperately wanted Xiao Yu to believe her.

"If you realize you're going to die, then go find a doctor!"

Xiao Yu was puzzled. The girl in front of him looked to be in good health and did not seem to be seriously ill.

"No...it's not my own fault, it's an external factor. A powerful cultivator will kill me in the future, and only you can save me. The omen of death in my sky is flashing wildly!"

The girl started to cry, her big, watery eyes looking pitifully at Xiao Yu.

Killed by a powerful cultivator... Wait... what was her name again?

Xiao Yu's eyes widened suddenly, not because the girl said she would be killed by a powerful cultivator, but because of her name.

Divination... Isn't this the female lead?!

Chapter Thirty-Seven, The Broom Star

Bu Suan Tian, ​​whose original name is unknown, is one of the female protagonists. She is a wild cultivator from the mountains and lakes, and is said to have been raised by several spiritual spirits.

She was not good at fighting, but was a famous fortune teller, renowned throughout the land. Because of the accuracy of her predictions, she was respectfully called:

To calculate the destiny of a couple, to determine opportunities and wealth, one must calculate the heavens, the earth, and even the air itself; one must divine the heavens.

She provided the protagonist with many ingenious ideas and solutions later in the novel's plot, making her a great and capable helper.

However, compared to his later appearance in the novel, where he was all-knowing and all-powerful, the Bu Suan Tian before us is still extremely naive, practically a greenhorn.

Logically speaking, she should still be in some deep mountain forest at this time, waiting for people to come and ask for fortune-telling, gradually building up her reputation and making a name for herself.

How...how did I end up here?

They even went to him?

Sure enough, the plot started to go off track after the protagonist died. First, Xia Nianmo was swept to Jumo Island, then Li Yunshang became a yandere who almost killed him. Now, instead of staying in his hometown to slowly reflect on himself, he ran out to find his fortune teller.

Shouldn't her first appearance be in the later stages of the game when the demon race breached the Five Continents' boundary?

For the safety of humanity, this great fortune teller discovered a geomantically auspicious place of great importance to humanity. She led her people to occupy the place, but they were ambushed by the demon race and their lives were hanging by a thread.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the protagonist made a dazzling appearance, striding in carrying a speaker. With the support of his exclusive background music, he dominated the battlefield, successfully rescuing the damsel in distress and winning her heart.

But now, it appeared in front of him out of the script. What does this mean... a change in the plot?

"I see. Since it's a powerful cultivator chasing you, what use is it for you to come to me? We're complete strangers."

Xiao Yu barely managed to control his expression, trying his best not to let them furrow together.

“It’s useful. In this divination of nine deaths and one life, I calculated that there would be a benefactor who could help me get through this calamity. I followed the divination all the way here, and that person is you. You can be said to be my only way out. So I beg you, can you be my bodyguard until the calamity comes? I don’t want to die yet, senior.”

As he spoke, Bu Suantian lowered his head, his tone appearing very sincere.

However, she seems to have misunderstood something.

"This... I'm not qualified to be called a senior. I'm just a lowly cultivator at the Embracing Simplicity Realm. If I were a great cultivator, I would at least need to be at the Nascent Soul Realm. I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"What... Baopu Realm, haha... It's over, looks like I'm doomed."

Upon hearing this, Bu Suantian's bright face immediately turned ashen, and she slumped into a chair, hugging her knees. A few wisps of grayish-white aura emanated from her, just like Xiao Yu who had been slumped on the table gazing at the starry sky earlier.

"Don't be discouraged! Think positively, what if your divination was wrong?"

Xiao Yu looked at Bu Suantian, who seemed to have given up on himself and was unwilling to face reality, and quickly comforted him.

"Impossible! My divination cannot be wrong. Even some great cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage have come to me for divination."

Upon hearing this, Bu Suantian changed her dejected state and looked at Xiao Yu:

"If you don't believe me, I'll tell your fortune for you, and I won't charge you."

As she spoke, her slender fingers intertwined, her fingertips lightly touching the ground, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, leaving afterimages, while her cherry-like lips murmured incantations.

"Your name is Xiao Yu... and..."

Soon, as if she had figured something out, her clear eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Yu, her pupils contracted, and her face showed terror: "You you you...you are that perverted Ye...uh...uh."

Xiao Yuhan bristled, but thankfully he managed to shut her up before she could say her name.

"Shh! It was an accident, an accident, you understand? I'm not the weirdo the rumors say I am, listen to me... hiss..."

Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, he felt something wet on his hand, something soft sucking on his finger, followed by a sharp pain.

This glutinous rice ball...it hurts so much to bite into it.

Xiao Yu withdrew his hand. Fortunately, Bu Suantian didn't scream like he had at the beginning. Instead, he leaned back in his chair with an even more miserable expression.

"I'm doomed. My only savior is a pervert. I'm hopeless. I feel like my future is bleak... Waaaaah."

It seems they're giving up in preparation for facing the injustice.

It seems her fortune-telling skills are indeed much stronger. With a casual pinch, she not only figured out his real name, but also saw through the three layers of his disguise.

No wonder he's a fortune teller who's been to a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
