The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Although there would be some effects without the turtle shell, they were minor, and it was not like she was divining anything too difficult. So, Zhong Niangyao still took a few Copper Coins and started to perform divination for herself.

Even though fortune tellers were not supposed to divine their own fortunes, since she came from the Otherworld and possessed great Merit, and what she divined was not a significant matter, she could still do it.

Moments later, Zhong Niangyao collected the Copper Coins from the table and sighed helplessly.

She finally understood what had happened to her that morning—it was because her rebirth into this body had caused insufficient fusion between soul and flesh.

There were only two ways to change this phenomenon, and both were extremes. One was to continue accumulating Merit to stabilize and strengthen her soul. The other was to absorb Evil Qi; this body was yin, and Evil Qi could better integrate her body and soul.

After contemplating briefly, Zhong Niangyao felt there was only one thing she could do now—return to her old line of work.

On the other hand, Zhao Xuanglang was restless after returning home. Throughout the day, he kept thinking about the things Zhong Niangyao had told him.

He did not know how Zhong Niangyao knew those things, but whenever he remembered her warning about his life being in danger, his restlessness was unstoppable.

Previously, he had seen Zhong Niangyao as nothing more than a shameless girl chasing after Li Jingming. Everyone usually laughed at her, yet she persevered unyieldingly. Everyone viewed her as infatuated, himself included.

Even before, like others, he had looked down on Zhong Niangyao. She was a well-born young lady with both lineage and appearance, yet she absurdly fell for Li Jingming, a man born out of wedlock, creating many spectacles of herself.

However, upon meeting her again today, he realized that Zhong Niangyao had undergone a radical change. She even said many seemingly nonsensical things to him.

He constantly comforted himself in his mind, telling himself that Zhong Niangyao's words were nonsense, but he just couldn't calm down.

"Xuan Lang, what are you thinking?" Mrs. Zhao asked, noticing Zhao Xuanglang's distracted appearance and frowned, "Your dad is talking to you!"

Zhao Xuanglang snapped out of his thoughts, "Oh, I was just thinking about some things happening at school. Sorry, Dad! What were you saying?"

"What's wrong with you today?" Mr. Zhao asked, looking at Zhao Xuanglang with some concern, "Did something happen again? Or did you get hurt at school?"

As soon as she heard Mr. Zhao's words, Mrs. Zhao panicked and quickly began examining Zhao Xuanglang, fearing something really had happened to him.

For some reason, Zhao Xuanglang had always been unlucky. Even simply cutting an apple could result in him slicing a chunk of his own flesh. None of the other family members had such issues; only Zhao Xuanglang was the exception.

Therefore, they had always hired a Bodyguard to stay hidden and protect him, just to ensure his safety.

"I'm fine," Zhao Xuanglang said, feeling somewhat helpless. After thinking for a bit, he finally spoke up, "It's just that I met someone today who said my life was in danger. I'm wondering if she knows something."

"What!"

Both Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao exclaimed in shock.

Mrs. Zhao immediately pressed, "Xuan Lang, who said that? Does he know something? Or did some master notice something?"

A series of questions overwhelmed Zhao Xuanglang, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start.

"Don't rush," Mr. Zhao quickly said, trying to calm her, "give Xuan Lang a chance to explain!"

Seeing his parents' anxious and agitated state made Zhao Xuanglang somewhat regret revealing the information he had today, he shook his head, "Dad, Mom, don't overthink it. She was just a teenage girl talking nonsense."

Mrs. Zhao felt disappointed upon hearing this.

Though Mr. Zhao didn't say anything, his mood was visibly not elevated.

For a long time, they had been deeply concerned about the strange phenomena afflicting Zhao Xuanglang's body. Of course, they had sought many so-called masters, spending a lot of money, but Zhao Xuanglang's luck had not improved at all.

Recently, his luck had even worsened, often encountering various unexpected dangers in the street.

Had they not hired a bodyguard, they wouldn't know how many times he could have died.

Seeing his parents' disappointed faces, Zhao Xuanglang involuntarily reached into his pocket. Inside was the talisman paper Zhong Niangyao had given him that day.

He didn't know why, but he never considered discarding the talisman paper.
