…
“I calculate all matters under heaven; a single thread connects your marriage fate.”
“Don’t miss out as you pass by!
The Divine Calculator offers one divination a day.
No charge if it’s not accurate—beautiful girls get priority—”
“Little kitty, why so huffy?
I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush.
Want a reading?”
“Past, fortune, or marriage—which one will it be?”
“Meow!
Who are you calling a kitty?
Fufu is a great tiger!!!”
Chenghui Square, right in front of the gate of a dilapidated Taoist temple.
The plaque over the door faintly bore the words “Sui-Bian Temple,” showing heavy signs of age.
Less than two meters from the small stone statues at the entrance, a divination stall had been set up.
The lazy youth, Jiang Suan, wearing a pair of toad-eye sunglasses, looked at the fur-standing, hissing little tiger, Orange Fufu, with a beaming smile.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
She took the bait.
Setting up a divination stall in front of someone else’s temple—if they didn’t blow their top when he brought the fight to their front door, Jiang Suan would have just had to accept it.
He hadn’t come to pick a fight on purpose.
It was just that he had transmigrated by a stroke of luck, and to complete his missions, he had no choice but to “persecute” the cute and brainless Fufu.
[Daily Divination System (lv1).] [Complete one mission to upgrade the system.] [lv2 Reward: A Divination Shop.] [Today’s Mission: Divine Yi Xuan’s past.] [Keywords: Divination must include: Lone Star of Malevolence, Master, Sister, Qingming Sword, Outliving Apprentices.] [Reward: One top-tier skill, Light’s Diary.]
“Outliving apprentices” probably refers to Ye Shunguanguan, right?
Oof…
Isn’t this just stabbing Master Yi Xuan right in the heart?
Plus, it’s a bit of a rumor—the kid didn’t actually die.
Cursed system, making him be the bad guy and ruin his reputation.
When Jiang Suan saw these “underworld-tier” mission requirements, he knew it would be hard to settle this peacefully.
Furthermore, in the world of Zenless Zone Zero, the elusive Yi Xuan wasn’t someone just anyone could meet.
The system hadn’t given him any help; it only gifted him a “Divine Scammer” set: a tattered cloth “Universe Bag” and a flag titled “Human Emperor’s Banner”…
The names were majestic, but they were useless as hell.
What could he do?
He could only resort to this low-down tactic: challenging the temple.
If Yi Xuan didn’t come out, he’d just mess with Fufu first.
He’d play the part of a divine scammer.
With his knowledge of the Zenless Zone Zero world, he might be able to pose as a wandering elder from Yun Kui Mountain just to scrounge a meal…
Thus, Jiang Suan let out a long, melancholy sigh.
He began to set the stage.
“Tigers are also felines, little girl.
You haven’t been keeping up with your lessons at Yun Kui Mountain.
I’m afraid you’ll have to retake the course…”
“I…
Who said that!”
The hissing Fufu put her hands on her hips, her expression fluctuating between shock and suspicion.
How did this guy know her recent grades were failing and that her Master had ordered her back to Yun Kui Mountain for remedial studies?
No, wait.
He must be guessing.
“Tigers and kitties aren’t the same at all!
Big tigers are majestic!
Kitties are so cute; they shouldn’t even be grouped together!”
“Mhm.
Tigers are majestic, and kitties are cute.
Little girl, you really are cute…”
“Of course…
Wait, that’s not right!”
The “ferociously” cute little tiger was helpless.
It took her quite a while to realize she hadn’t come out here to argue about cats and tigers.
She looked into the temple with some concern.
A few days ago, her Master had held back the Etheric Corruption to save Chenghui Square and currently couldn’t handle any irritation.
Fufu didn’t want her Master to worry about anything else.
Of all the places this person could choose to do fortune-telling, he chose the entrance of Sui-Bian Temple!
Isn’t this just a blatant challenge?
She had to drive him away.
“You guy…”
“Sui-Bian Temple is a station for Yun Kui Mountain.
Who gave you permission to tell fortunes here?
You…
at least move further away!”
“That’s basic etiquette, isn’t it?”
Jiang Suan smiled and spread his hands.
“Since when did Sui-Bian Temple have such a rule?
Why didn’t I know?
Isn’t it about punishing evil, helping the world, and saving people?
Could it be that I’ve been away for too long and things have changed?
No wonder the temple is so dilapidated now…”
“Besides, I haven’t entered the temple, nor has any city management come to chase me away.
Could it be that Yun Kui Mountain has become so tyrannical that it cannot tolerate other practitioners?”
“Forget it, girl.”
“I won’t lower myself to your level.
Since we are both practitioners, let’s settle this by the rules of practitioners.
You are still young and can’t handle this.
Call your Master out.
The loser will naturally listen to the winner.”
“There’s no need for Master, I’ll do it…”
“How do we compete?
Martial combat, or techniques?”
Orange Fufu’s cheeks puffed out like steamed buns from anger.
This person was so unreasonable.
He was clearly challenging the temple, yet he spoke so grandiosely.
Could he be someone sent by TOPS to intentionally cause trouble for them?
Recently, her Junior Sister said to be careful of those people—that they were all talkers and it was best to stop the chatter with fists.
But she couldn’t just punch someone for no reason.
Fine, a competition it is.
Jiang Suan felt helpless.
His every word hinted that he knew Yun Kui Mountain very well, yet this tiger girl hadn’t picked up on it at all.
She even looked like she wanted to use him as a “Tiger’s Might” prop and give him an eight-stage suplex.
Fine, fine, very well!
She’s just a little tiger.
It seemed that hints were useless; he had to use some stronger medicine.
Just hope she doesn’t cry later.
“Naturally, we’ll compete in divination.
I will say only three words.
Lean in and listen…”
“Acting all mysterious.
If you dare trick me, I really will get physical!
Awoo!”
Orange Fufu was uncertain.
At most, she could interpret hexagrams.
Real fortune-telling was something only great experts like her Master could do.
And how could they compete in fortune-telling…
Could it be that this guy could actually see through the past and future?
She leaned closer, her rounded ears twitching as she listened.
Gradually, a crowd of melon-eating onlookers gathered around.
A fortune teller going up against Yun Kui Mountain?
Wasn’t that just a death wish?
They had to get a front-row seat for this drama.
the crowd strained their ears to listen, but they couldn’t hear a thing.
Orange Fufu, however, felt a chill down her spine as she looked at the man’s smile.
It felt as if he was about to reveal some earth-shattering secret.
“Girl, I wonder if you still remember…”
“Speak quickly.”
“Such an impatient one!”
Jiang Suan’s mouth opened and closed, and he meaningfully spat out three words.
“Tiger-Taming Bell.”
“!!?”
Orange Fufu instantly became like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Her tail shot straight up, and she whipped her head around, eyes wide—
The Tiger-Taming Bell, the secret treasure of the Tiger Thiren clan.
How did an outsider know about it!?
And since he knew about the Tiger-Taming Bell, did he also know about *that* secret history?
The naive little tiger had met a divine scammer who could lie without blinking, and she had taken the bait again.
Jiang Suan lowered his voice as if in mourning, speaking the thoughts in her heart.
“To resist the Hollows, kin devouring kin.”
“The fate of the Tiger Thiren clan is truly tragic.
If I remember correctly, you were just a child back then…”
He smiled mysteriously, looking as if he saw through everything.
He played the part of a divine scammer to perfection.
The truth was, he didn’t know anything else about Orange Fufu.
The damn system hadn’t given him any actual divination abilities!
He could only rely on the information gap to act the part.
But fortunately, he had successfully bluffed the little tiger for now.
“Orange Fufu, have you truly let go of everything in the past?
The Tiger-Taming Bell still exists in this world.
Aren’t you curious who is holding it?”
“You…
who exactly are you?
How do you know…”
This move really worked.
Orange Fufu clenched her hands in front of her chest, her entire body trembling.
The past of kin-slaying surged back into her mind once more…
Could he be of her clan?
But the guy didn’t have a tail behind his butt.
Jiang Suan just smiled.
Seeing that the little tiger was almost completely hooked, he gave one final push.
“Orange Fufu, what a great name.
You are naturally a person of good fortune, but your kin, on the other hand…”
He stopped right there, leaving her hanging.
“My kin…
what about them!?”
“Tell me!”
In the blink of an eye, Orange Fufu threw the bet to the back of her mind.
She grabbed Jiang Suan’s collar tightly.
A little tiger’s grip was immense, and she actually throttled him until his neck turned red.
“Enough—”
At that moment, a cold shout came from within the temple.
A slender, white-haired woman appeared at the gate in an instant.
It was Yi Xuan!
How could a protective Master tolerate this?
An unknown person was trying to manipulate her apprentice right in front of her?
Jiang Suan merely smiled.
Right in front of Yi Xuan, he reached out and rubbed Fufu’s head, stroking her ears.
It was supposed to be a fair bet; why was the little tiger being so violent?
He’d give her ears a rub to comfort his own “wounded” soul.
But this wasn’t enough.
How did Yun Kui Mountain plan to compensate him…
