I Make Pocket Money by Telling Fortunes

The cat demon Mu Rao devoted herself to cultivation for years, neglecting sleep and food and caring for no one, all because she met a mortal scholar when she was seven hundred years old.

The scholar was as graceful as an orchid and jade tree, kindhearted, and had once saved Mu Rao's life.

Mu Rao fell in love with him at first sight and planned to follow in the footsteps of her friend White Snake's great-grandmother, Bai Suzhen.

She would repay him by giving herself to him...

Who could have known that years in the mountains would pass in the blink of an eye, while a thousand years went by in the mortal world?

After cultivating a human body, Mu Rao searched for the scholar's reincarnation. She studied the eighty-one tragic romances between humans and demons, convinced she could avoid the pitfalls and reach a bright future, and spent three days and nights imagining their happy ending. But the scholar had become a monk, with his head shaved clean.

Her plan to give herself to him was dashed, but she still had to repay his life-saving kindness. After going through untold trouble, Mu Rao attached herself to the monk, planning to work like an ox or a horse for him, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers by his side, help him through his tribulations, and ascend to immortality!

Who could have guessed that the monk would really treat her, a cat demon, like an ox or a horse, never letting anyone else do a task she could handle?

Mu Rao's old dream was to be a lone heroic cat who robbed the rich to help the poor. Now she had become a blind cat, accompanying the monk to make a living as a fortune-teller under a bridge.

The shade under the bridge is nice and cool. WeChat on the left, Alipay on the right.

Fortune-telling costs 99 yuan, no haggling. Scan to pay, no cash accepted.

The monk helping out had the nerve to say: "A monk does not bend for money."

Mu Rao: "Good thing I'm blind, or I really wouldn't be able to stand the sight of this!"
