"If Master Hu insists, then please come for the massage today."
"Okay! I'll treat you to the best set meal!"
Keqing glanced at Ningguang again, feeling a sense of déjà vu, like a construction foreman treating people to drinks and entertainment in a small shop to secure a project. Those kinds of people like to do this.
Behind them, True Lord of Water Management and Mountain Creation, True Lord of Moon Carving and Sun Building, and Zhongli came over together.
A moment later, Ningguang got up and walked to the table where the three of them were drinking tea, giving them a polite smile.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to have disturbed you."
"Lord Tianquan Star, what is this?"
"I have some personal matters I would like to consult with True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang."
The True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun was stunned and looked at her.
"I wonder what's going on?"
Ningguang said generously, "I have heard that True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang is skilled in divination. I would like to ask True Lord to cast a divination for me and predict my fortune for next year."
True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang nodded, really wanting to agree, but then heard Ningguang lightly add a sentence.
"There is also a chance of marriage."
Marriage?
The expression on the face of the True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building froze.
He knew it.
He has read the newspapers these past few days.
While playing cards at the teahouse, he also overheard people talking about Ningguang and Mr. Xia's rumored affair.
Moreover, he also learned from Yao Yao that Ning Guang really did come to see Mr. Xia almost every day, not just for drinking juice as outsiders knew, but for massage.
Yao Yao also complained to him that her older brother wouldn't give her massages and that she would have to wait until she grew up.
What kind of massages are only for adults?
The significance of this is self-evident.
In the past, if True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang had been ignorant, he would have simply helped with a divination.
But now, he has already lost to Mr. Xia several times, and he really doesn't dare to calculate anymore.
The matter of discarding the divination sticks is irrelevant; the main concern is that my prying might offend Mr. Xia.
After all, even the previous Grass God could only be his cousin.
"True Lord?"
"what?"
Why does the True Lord remain silent?
"no……"
"Is the True Lord unwilling to perform divination for me?"
"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just... a bit inconvenient..."
"Not convenient?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I've decided to stop fortune-telling this year..."
"Then I won't trouble you, True Lord."
Ningguang's expression turned slightly regretful.
“A few days ago, Mr. Xia gave me a divination. He said that he had a very pleasant conversation with the True Lord. Today I met the True Lord and wanted to see if the True Lord’s divination would be the same as Mr. Xia’s.”
"what?"
The True Lord of Slicing Moon and Building Sun was stunned for a moment.
"You mean Mr. Xia told your fortune?"
"Yes."
"How is the hexagram?"
Mr. Xia said it was a win-win situation, both financially and sexually.
"..."
After a moment of silence, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang suddenly reached out and took out his precious Mora.
"Since it was Mr. Xia who asked, I will make an exception and tell your fortune."
"Thank you, Zhenjun."
He threw Mora.
Mora landed on the table.
"True Lord, how is it?"
The True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun glanced at it and found that the divination result was not a useless one, but a very normal one indicating abundant wealth.
It has nothing to do with gaining both wealth and beauty.
Did Mr. Xia miscalculate? Or was Mr. Xia saying this on purpose?
The True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun said solemnly, "Congratulations, Lord Tianquan Star, may you have both wealth and beauty next year."
Chapter 336 Even the Emperor Said This Medicine Was Good (4K)
Ningguang looked at the divination results on the table and felt that they were very similar to the divination results that Mr. Xia had given her last time.
Although Mr. Xia said that fate is unpredictable, the fact that two different people received the exact same divination results for themselves at different times suggests a strong element of metaphysics.
Could it be that I'm destined to find a partner next year?
Ningguang thought to herself, then bowed her head and sincerely thanked him.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, True Lord, to make an exception."
"It doesn't matter."
The True Lord of Moon-Cut-and-Build-Sun waved his hand, picked up the Mora from the table one by one, and breathed a sigh of relief.
His guess was right; the divination went very smoothly this time.
Unlike the last time when all the Mora mysteriously split in two during the divination of the summer, none of them did.
Otherwise, he would be heartbroken.
After all, these were the first batch of Mora forged by the Emperor back then, and he only had a few dozen left in total. Every one that broke was one less.
After putting Mora away, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang looked up at Ningguang, who seemed lost in thought. He was also a little puzzled as to why her divination result wasn't a useless one like the other girls in the shop...
There's definitely something going on between her and Mr. Xia.
He dared not try to divine Mr. Xia's fate, otherwise he would find that Mr. Xia, who was originally impossible to divine, now had a completely ordinary destiny.
……
Dinner was served.
Bai Zhu took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a small pill, and put it in her mouth.
This is a specially formulated stomach-strengthening and digestive pill, which even contains a special medicinal ingredient.
When held in the mouth, the small pill immediately dissolves, releasing a strange, sweet and sour taste that bursts on the tongue, stimulating the appetite.
Smelling the enticing aroma of food in the air, Bai Zhu immediately felt a strong urge to eat well up from the bottom of her heart.
It’s stable now!
Bai Zhu carefully put away the small porcelain bottle, a gentle smile on her face, and walked over to sit down at the dining table.
Then, everyone looked at a dish on the table and fell silent.
"Xiangling, what is this?"
"A new dish I've been developing these past few days! Sticky rice with lizard meat!"
"It looks really strange."
Ke Qing coughed and said, "Actually, it just looks a little strange, but it tastes pretty good."
"really?"
"Of course, I already helped Xiangling taste it when I was at the construction site, and Mr. Zhongli also tasted it. You can ask Mr. Zhongli if you don't believe me!"
Everyone looked at Zhongli.
Zhongli remained calm: "From a generally rational perspective, this dish does indeed taste delicious."
Everyone looked at each other, waiting for the first person to taste it.
Helpless, Xia Zhi helped his apprentice out by tasting a piece: "It's a little undercooked. If you want to season it, you could add some mint..."
Xiangling, like a chick pecking at rice, nodded: "Okay, Master!"
