The swindling fortune-teller and the bloodied man argued, with the man denying any knowledge of the old lady. "You must have mistaken me for someone else," he cried out, writhing in pain.

"I would recognize you even if you turned to ashes," the old lady seethed with hatred, chasing after the fortune-teller to demand a refund.

Some kind-hearted elderly people surrounded them, gossiping about the conflicts and grudges between the two. Meanwhile, some people gathered around Zhizhi, and within a short minute, she accurately predicted two things. It was truly astonishing.

The way people looked at Zhizhi instantly changed. "Little girl, are you a deity? How did you predict things so accurately?"

"Little deity, can you really tell fortunes? Can you help me with mine?" someone asked eagerly.

"I'm not a deity, I'm a little Taoist," Zhizhi replied, her face strained from the heat and the strong smell of sweat. She stepped back uncomfortably. "Please don't block my way, I want to leave."

"Don't go, please help me. Can you tell me when my son will bring a daughter-in-law home?" A weary-looking woman in her fifties quickly provided her son's birth details. "My son is already 35 years old, and he still doesn't have a partner. It's really worrying me."

Zhizhi looked at the deceitful woman with confusion. "Why are you lying? You've already seen someone."

The woman's face instantly turned ugly. Her son had brought home a man, but she wanted a daughter-in-law.

A beautiful young woman next to them pushed aside the stunned woman and took out her phone, showing Zhizhi a photo of herself and a man. "Little girl, can you tell me if we are destined to be together?"

Zhizhi looked at the photo. The woman had a full forehead and prominent cheekbones, indicating good fortune, while the man in the photo looked decent but had a sharp nose and ambitious eyes. He also had a big face and small mouth, appearing cunning and unfaithful.

As a young girl, Zhizhi didn't fully understand matters of the heart, but she could tell from the photo that the two weren't compatible. Moreover, the man had a strong romantic luck and would have many children. "No, you're not."

"Really? But what if we insist on being together?" The beautiful woman hesitated, as the man was both handsome and wealthy, which appealed to her. "I really like him."

Zhizhi was a bit puzzled. She had already said it wasn't a destined relationship, so why was the woman so insistent? "If you don't mind him having five wives and eight children, then it's possible, right?"

The young and beautiful woman froze. "Are you sure? You must have made a mistake. He couldn't be that kind of person."

The onlookers sympathetically looked at the woman and tried to convince her. "Young lady, the little fortune-teller accurately predicted the disaster that befell the fortune-teller just now. How could she make a mistake?"

"Just like that, even after hearing all that, you still want to be with this man? What are you hoping for?" Someone nearby chuckled, "Are you hoping for him to have five mistresses and eight illegitimate children?"

The beautiful woman turned pale, unsure whether to believe or not.

"Little master, can you tell me when I'll become wealthy?" a man squeezed his way to Zhizhi and asked, "I'm 35 years old this year. Do I still have a chance?"

Zhizhi seemed to hear her fourth cousin calling her. "I won't calculate anymore. I have to go."

"I'll pay you, can you calculate it for me?" The man took out his wallet and handed Zhizhi two hundred yuan. "Is this enough? I can add more."
