I Tell Fortunes on the Streets, and I Specialize in Putting Every Kind of Trouble in Its Place

Jiang Jiu was the last heir of the Mystic Sect. One day, her master kicked her down the mountain and told her to learn how to behave like a proper person in the human world. So Jiang Jiu set up a stall in the city’s urban village, carrying a little folding stool with her: fortune-telling, pay nothing if I’m wrong. On the first day, the urban management officers packed up her stall three times. On the second, she helped Auntie Liu find her cat and got a bowl of braised pork in return. On the third, the whole city came to her for readings: people looking for daughters, keys, cats, and dogs. Every prediction came true. Later, criminal investigation captain Gu Yuan crouched in front of her stall. “Tell my fortune. If you’re wrong, I’ll shut you down.” Jiang Jiu looked up. “The culprit is someone close to you.” Three days later, the case was solved, and Gu Yuan was a believer. After that, he came by every day to mooch tea. Before long, he wouldn’t leave. “Tell my fortune. Do I have a chance of claiming a spot?” Jiang Jiu counted on her fingers. “The reading says… that depends on how you behave.” P.S. The rating was just changed, but it’ll go up later.
