Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

I've never met this girl Shi Tang before, and we have no grudges against each other. Why would she want to harm me?

Still after money?

What money could a poor old man like me, living on a pension, possibly have?

I received five million in thank-you money today; she probably has no idea.

Does she know that I made money through gambling on Mingyue before?

Could it be that the person behind Bald Qiang sent her?

That shouldn't be the case.

Do the underworld really need to go to such lengths to retaliate against me?

If it's not the person behind Bald Qiang, then it can only be Ma Tao!

Li Mu analyzed it to himself.

He had just tested the snowflake's peculiar ability to sense other people's thoughts, so he felt that the painting the snowflake had drawn for him was very credible.

Li Mu believes that the only people who could take his life now are the forces behind Bald Qiang and that devil Ma Tao.

The forces behind Bald Qiang want to retaliate against him, but they probably won't do it for money.

He felt that this possibility could be ruled out.

That leaves Ma Tao.

He felt that Ma Tao had conspired with Liu Yanjuan to murder him for money, intending to stage an accident to kill him and then obtain his large insurance payout, as well as his house, savings, and funeral expenses.

However, Liu Yanjuan died, and as a result, Ma Tao lost his tool for making money.

So, he somehow found this country girl who deliberately approached him, intending to continue to swindle him out of his money and kill him.

Li Mu believes this is the most likely possibility.

At the same time, he thought that since he couldn't directly cast a divination to calculate Shi Tang's information, could he analyze the information about Shi Tang from the divination of Ma Tao?

If it can be deciphered, then there is no doubt that Shi Tang is a "new tool" sent by Ma Tao.

With that thought in mind, Li Mu immediately began to circulate his Guiyuan spiritual energy to cast a divination to calculate information about Ma Tao's current situation.

He successfully cast a hexagram, obtaining the upper trigram Dui (☱) and the lower trigram Kan (☵). Dui represents a marsh, and Kan represents water, resulting in the hexagram "Distressed by Lake and Water".

The Kun hexagram is one of the most inauspicious hexagrams among the 64 hexagrams, symbolizing danger and distress.

The body trigram of this hexagram is Kan (water), which is also known as Tao (waves), referring to Ma Tao (a famous Chinese poet).

The upper trigram, Dui (兑), is the applicable trigram. Dui refers to people, generally unmarried women, which corresponds perfectly to Shi Tang (石棠).

Kan is below, which is also in the dark, so it can be interpreted as Ma Tao being in the dark. Dui is above, which is in the light, so it can be interpreted as Shi Tang being in the light.

This hexagram also reveals that the person in question encountered difficulties and dangers. Li Mu believes that Shi Tang, who appears to be honest and simple, was likely in some kind of trouble and was exploited by that scoundrel Ma Tao, which is why he was willing to become his tool and accomplice.

In addition, the character "困" in "泽水困" can actually be understood as a bed placed in a room.

Li Mu analyzed that Shi Tang wanted to complete Ma Tao's task of robbing and killing him for money, and there was only one way: to replace Liu Yanjuan as the legal heir to his property.

Now that Li Mu is all alone, how can he become the legal heir to his property?

There are only two ways: one is to gain Li Mu's trust and gratitude, and for Li Mu to voluntarily leave all his property to her.

The second option was naturally to marry Li Mu and become his wife.

Does the word "困" (trapped) imply that Shi Tang wants to become Li Mu's wife and share a bed with him?

At the same time, Li Mu thought of the picture of butterflies mating that Xuehua had drawn that morning. It was clear that Xuehua was telling Li Mu that Shitang wanted to be his wife!

Combining the interpretation of the divination and the reminder from the snowflakes, along with an analysis of the current situation, Li Mu can now confirm that Shi Tang, who seems to have come to his side by chance, was sent by that damned bastard Ma Tao!

The sole purpose was to obtain his substantial insurance payout and other assets.

Damn!

Ma Tao, you bastard!

He's still got the thief's heart!

Li Mu clenched his fists and cursed angrily.

He had previously consulted the oracle to find an opportunity to take revenge on Ma Tao, but the divination results consistently indicated that there were no good opportunities.

Now that the other side dared to take the initiative to attack, Li Mu felt there was no need to wait for an opportunity. Now that he had the miraculous shapeshifting technique, killing Ma Tao to avenge his children might not require so much caution.

As for Shi Tang, if it weren't for the fact that she was the primordial spirit hostage of the Heavenly Eccentric Saint Venerable, Li Mu would have been very rude to her right now!

He never imagined that beneath this girl's honest and simple exterior lay an evil soul!

All that feigned pitifulness and sob stories was just an act!

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately came up with a plan to turn the tables on Li Mu.

Didn't Shi Tang want to marry him and become husband and wife?

Alright, then let's grant her wish!

This is the perfect opportunity to receive and merge with her, this separated spirit proton!

At the same time, she can also be used to get rid of Ma Tao!

This can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Over the next two days, Shi Tang indeed became more and more considerate and caring towards Li Mu, taking care of Li Mu's daily life in a meticulous manner, just like a little wife.

Moreover, she was completely obedient to Li Mu, always responding to his every command, doing whatever he asked without complaint and seemingly enjoying it.

Li Mu watched her various performances with a cold eye. Although he found the girl hypocritical and disgusting, he remained silent.

However, what puzzled Li Mu was that he couldn't tell at all that the girl was acting.

It seems she genuinely cares for Li Mu.

Li Mu wasn't sure if she was a superb actress or genuinely trying to move him with her true feelings.

After all, if one were to directly divine the primordial spirit of Shi Tang, it would be impossible to successfully cast a divination.

However, Li Mu could also tell from the previous divination that Shi Tang seemed to have a pitiful side. He must have encountered some difficulties and was taken advantage of by Ma Tao, which is why he came to the city to do this kind of thing.

However, Li Mu is not in a hurry to ask questions. He has been busy looking for a storefront to open a clinic these past two days.

This afternoon, Li Mu went out to look at storefronts again. After Shi Tang finished tidying up the house, she hid in the bathroom and called Ma Tao.

"Cousin, I feel like I've been really good to your father-in-law these past few days, but he seems so cold towards me! What should I do? How can I make him like me quickly?"

Shi Tang said with a bitter face.

"It's only been two or three days, don't rush it. Relationships need time to develop. Of course, we need to hurry. Xiao Tang, tell me, how have you been treating him well?" Ma Tao asked on the other end of the phone.

Shi Tang then told Ma Tao how she had taken such good care of Li Mu's daily life.

"Tsk, Xiao Tang, that's not enough! If you want to take down an old man as quickly as possible, you need to use your most powerful weapon!"

"My most powerful weapon? What is it?" Shi Tang blinked.

"You're not a child anymore! Do I have to teach you this? You're a woman, and he's a man! Don't you understand?"

"Huh? You mean I have to seduce him with my looks? This...this won't do! Wouldn't I be putting myself at a disadvantage?"

"You don't want to save your brother anymore? As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. How can you get the money if you don't make a sacrifice?"

On the other end of the phone, Ma Tao began to incite and instigate.

"Um...but didn't you tell me before that he's old and has a terminal illness, and that he can't have that function anymore?"

"Xiao Tang, you're an adult now, why are you acting like a clueless child? Just because a man's 'function' is gone doesn't mean he doesn't want it! Even eunuchs in ancient palaces would harass palace maids! Besides, men don't necessarily need to 'do it' to have sex with women; there are many ways to satisfy them. Sigh, I can't go into details anymore, otherwise it'll be too explicit. You're not stupid, figure it out yourself. Looking forward to your good news!"

Ma Tao hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

"Even if I lose my function, I'll still think about it? Is that really true? But my cousin is right, if you want to make money quickly, you have to make sacrifices and use unconventional methods! Hmm, I'm not bad looking, it's impossible for Brother Mu not to like me at all, right? Let's do it this way!"

Shi Tang muttered to himself, deciding to adopt Ma Tao's suggestion.
