Chapter 1138

“When I say fairy s.h.i.+yu’s palm lines are not bad, I mean the lines are clear and her hands are healthy . But when it comes to her fate, things don’t look so good . There are three clear intersections of her palm lines, and the final one is the clearest . This means that fairy s.h.i.+yu will run into at least three difficulties in life, and the third one will be the most difficult…” Long Chen spoke frankly with absolute a.s.surance as he held Hua s.h.i.+yu’s hands .

An expression of disbelief appeared on Hua s.h.i.+yu’s face . She stared at Long Chen with shock . Her voice trembled as she asked, “How did you know I ran into three b.u.mps in my life?”

Long Chen was also startled . He hadn’t thought it would be this easy . In truth, he had just acted in accordance with how fortune-tellers conned people . First, he spouted a vague generalization, and then he gave out a number that was neither high nor low .

This was the easiest way to convince others . No matter how peaceful a person’s life was, it wasn’t as if everything could be smooth sailing . They would always run into a few setbacks or encounter things that displeased them, which then stayed in their mind .

As for the number three, it was the number with the highest probability of being right . So fortune-tellers would often use this number as a foundation to con people .

Furthermore, Long Chen hadn’t said anything definite . He had said that she would run into ‘at least’ three . That was a very shameless way of guessing . If she had run into ten setbacks, he would be right . If she had run into a hundred setbacks, he would also be right . Even if she had experienced a thousand setbacks, that was still greater than three .

Originally, Long Chen had been planning to say some more hints and suggestions based on her reaction, but this random number of his ended up striking right on the mark . Even he found it a bit inconceivable .

“I truly did run into three rather large setbacks . Once when I was young and exchanging pointers, an accident occurred, and my qi began to flow in reverse . I was almost crippled . Once when I was twenty and my father sent me into the mountains for training, I encountered a sneak attack from my enemies and almost lost my life . And my miserable defeat last time just happens to be the third time . Long Chen, do you really have fortune-telling abilities?” Hua s.h.i.+yu was filled with shock .

“If I didn’t, do you think I would babble so much?” boasted Long Chen absolutely shamelessly .

Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and Zhao Ziyan were also looking at him with shock . At first, Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er had been suspicious of his actions, thinking he was up to mischief . They had let him go on because this was a victimless prank, and even the jealous Tang Wan-er was able to just barely accept this .

But who would have thought, the more Long Chen spoke, the more they believed him . It seemed Long Chen really had this ability!

A trace of wors.h.i.+p appeared in Tang Wan-er’s eyes . So in truth, Long Chen was a true man with real abilities . He was different from Guo Ran who showed off everything he could . Long Chen hid his abilities well .

Right now, in Tang Wan-er’s eyes, Long Chen was a low-key powerful man with great internal quality . However, if she knew his goal was to purely take advantage of a beauty, wouldn’t she throttle him to death?

Feeling the hand of another peerless beauty in front of his own beauties was a feeling others couldn’t experience . Seeing the four of them staring at him so admiringly, Long Chen was even starting to admire himself .

“Long Chen, can you calculate my future?” asked Hua s.h.i.+yu expectantly .

In truth, this was a common aspect of women . Perhaps this was the result of men feeling combative and wanting to go against what fate had planned for them, while women wished to know their future to know what would happen . In the secular world, fortune-tellers all preferred targeting women . Of course, another reason was because even if they couldn’t dupe them, at least they wouldn’t be beaten black and blue .

Long Chen had an urge to laugh, but now he no longer dared to admit he was blindly spouting nonsense . Otherwise, Hua s.h.i.+yu would immediately turn hostile .

If you ride a tiger, it’s hard to get off . He couldn’t retreat at this time, or he’d be exposed .

“Palm reading is for calculating the past . If you want to predict the future, palm reading won’t be so accurate . We’ll need to do a bone reading . But a bone reading isn’t based on looking, but on feeling . In other words, it’s the legendary bone-feeling fortune-telling . But for you… it’s not too suitable . ” Long Chen shook his head .

The four of them had also heard of this kind of fortune-telling, but they had never seen it . They didn’t know much about it . Hua s.h.i.+yu turned red, but she seemed to greatly wish for it .

“Where… where do you have to touch?” asked Hua s.h.i.+yu, her voice no louder than a mosquito .

“Cough, in truth, feeling the arms is enough . The two leg bones focus on the innate, while the two arms focus on the future . However, this is my first time trying this kind of fortune-telling . If I end up doing it wrong or touching the wrong place by accident, it might hurt our relations.h.i.+p . So… it really isn’t very suitable . We should leave it at this!” Long Chen was starting to beat the drum for a retreat . He was even starting to regret what he had said . He was about to be exposed, and if he was, he’d have no face for the rest of his life .

“Sisters, can you leave for now? I want Long Chen’s help in reading my future . I want to see if I can live past twenty-three . ” Hua s.h.i.+yu’s voice contained an imploring tone .

The others jumped, not knowing what she was saying .

“When I was a child, my father invited an expert from Heavenly Fate Island to tell my fate . I inadvertently heard that expert say that I would have three setbacks in my life, and after those three setbacks, the end of my life would draw near . My predestined lifespan would not surpa.s.s twenty-three,” said Hua s.h.i.+yu sadly .
