After a short while...
The massage ended, Lin Ru thanked Zhou Yi, then hurried back to her room.
After closing the door, Lin Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
Her face was flushed.
Recalling the massage process, Lin Ru felt so embarrassed she wanted to bury her head in the blanket.
Because the massage was so incredibly relaxing.
Therefore, she couldn't help but have a strange... reaction.
Luckily, she didn't wake Wan Ru, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain it!
"Oh dear... I'm so mortified..."
Every time she recalled her appearance just now, she felt even more embarrassed.
She wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
However, the good news is, that massage technique was indeed effective.
Now I only feel warmth in my lower abdomen, and my whole body looks younger and more vibrant than before.
It seems Uncle Yi didn't deceive me.
So, should I ask him for more massages later?
Thinking about it again, this massage technique requires contact with those specific areas.
And it gives me a special feeling.
Like...
"Sigh, should I go see Uncle Yi again later?"
Lin Ru was very troubled by this.
...
After sleeping for a while, Lin Wanru woke up for some reason.
In her dream, she seemed to hear some movement.
It must be her sister Lin Ru?
But that voice sounded a little... Strange?
She was a little suspicious, got up and went into the living room, and saw Chu Yi sitting on the sofa.
She asked Chu Yi if anything had happened.
Chu Yi shook his head, indicating that nothing was wrong.
"Really nothing?"
"Really! I've been watching TV here all this time!"
Lin Wanru was half-believing, half-doubting: Could it be that she misheard?
She glanced around and suddenly saw a puddle of water on the sofa, which looked like it had just been poured.
Lin Wanru couldn't help but frown: "You old fool, how did you get water on the sofa?"
Chu Yi's expression remained unchanged: "Ah, my hand trembled when I poured the water, and I spilled a little on the sofa."
"Lin girl, you shouldn't blame me, right?"
His hand trembled when he poured the water?
Lin Wanru always felt something was amiss, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Finally, she could only wave her hand and say, "It's nothing, just a little water, it'll be fine once it's done."
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to go back to her room.
Only then did Zhou Yi breathe a sigh of relief, quietly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
It's good that he managed to smooth things over.
At the same time, Zhou Yi received a system notification.
[Ding! Lin Ru's favorability +5, current favorability 30, maximum value 100.]
[Reward: Brand new skill: Mastery of Occultism!]
Mastery of Occultism?
What kind of skill is that?
Zhou Yi quickly checked the skill description.
Originally, this mastery of metaphysics had two uses: one was geomancy, and the other was fortune telling.
Geomancy could ensure family peace and temporarily change one's fortune.
Fortune telling could predict destiny.
And because it was a reward system,
its accuracy was 100%!
In other words, with this mastery of metaphysics, even if he opened a fortune-telling stall, he could make a fortune.
Right, why not try it now?
His thoughts stirred, and he looked towards Lin Wanru, who hadn't entered the house yet.
"Peach blossoms fill the sky, the Red Phoenix star is in motion, it seems she will soon have a romantic encounter..."
"Ah, so her romantic encounter is me? That's fine."
...
On Monday, while having breakfast, Zhou Yi praised Lin Ru's cooking skills.
Lin Ru blushed and thanked Uncle Zhou for his encouragement.
Lin Wanru watched their reaction, feeling that something wasn't quite right, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
She opened it.
It was Zheng Peng, the young master of the Zheng family from Beijing.
He was the cameraman for Lin Ru's last expedition to the deserted village.
This time, he came to discuss future live streaming content.
After all, the last expedition to the deserted village had such a big incident that it scared everyone.
To be on the safe side, it was better to change the content.
"I think it would be good if we went back to the old days of scouting shops and strolling around," Zheng Peng suggested.
"But there are so many similar live streams, aren't we also considering changing our live stream direction because of this?" Lin Ru hesitated.
"Well... let's think about it again."
Just as the two were pondering, Zhou Yi smiled and calculated with his fingers.
After getting the result, he proactively spoke up.
"What content are you guys worried about for your live stream? I can help you!"
"I guarantee your live stream will be a huge hit online today!"
"A fire that engulfs the entire network?"
Zheng Peng was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.
What kind of power did this old man possess to dare say such a thing?
Lin Ru, however, was quite curious.
Although Uncle Yi's words were indeed a bit exaggerated,
if it were true, he possessed many extraordinary qualities.
Perhaps he really did have a solution?
So, she proactively spoke up: "Uncle Yi, please tell me."
Zhou Yi nodded, stroking his beard, assuming the demeanor of a wise sage: "Haha, I won't lie to you, I just cast a divination for you."
"Today your fortune is in the northwest direction!"
"Just follow me in the northwest direction, and you can strike great luck and achieve success!"
However, Zhou Yi left one point unsaid.
That is, the northwest direction is also his lucky direction.
Moreover, it also brings good fortune in love!
He realized that this luck was related to Lin Ru!
Therefore, he strongly recommended that Lin Ru also go in that direction, so that he could communicate and exchange ideas.
"Let's do a divination? Northwest direction?"
Before Lin Ru could figure out the result, Zheng Peng smiled helplessly.
"No, Uncle Yi, you'd better not get involved."
"What's with fortune telling? It's all superstition. We appreciate your good intentions, but let's discuss this ourselves!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
"What? You don't believe my divination?"
"It's not that we don't believe it, it's just that this thing has no proof, it's all fake and unreal!" Zheng Peng said with a laugh.
He thought that Chu Yi was just a superstitious old geezer.
"Fortune telling, feng shui, it's all a scam!"
"Only fools believe in these things!"
Hearing this, Chu Yi laughed: "Young man, you shouldn't be so certain!"
"If I could prove it to you, what would you say?"
Zheng Peng scoffed: "If you could prove it, I'd eat this camera!"
Chu Yi waved his hand: "Okay, then let's do it!"
With that, Chu Yi began to cast the divination.
Although Lin Ru was somewhat skeptical, she still advised Zheng Peng not to argue with Chu Yi.
Zheng Peng, however, became even more enthusiastic.
"Lin Ru, I'm not arguing, but this stuff is really superstitious!"
"Don't worry, even if Uncle Yi loses, there's no loss. I'm a generous person!"
Just then, Zhou Yi announced the result.
"Whatever you say, I'll listen carefully!" Zheng Peng said confidently.
Betting on something that didn't exist, how could he possibly lose?
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment: "Hmm, this year is your birth year, wearing bright red pants."
With just one sentence, Zheng Peng's expression changed.
"How did you know?!"
As soon as he said this, he immediately covered his mouth.
Then he saw Lin Ru on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
He felt a little embarrassed: "No, this doesn't count, it must be a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then what about the next divination?"
"Robbing money with a sharp blade, one must avoid unfavorable timing, the timing is unlucky. It seems your Zheng family hasn't been doing very well lately..."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Peng's heart trembled even more.
The Zheng family's situation had indeed been rather unfavorable lately.
But these were all things known only to those within the family.
How could he, an outsider, know?!
Could it be... he really did get it from fortune telling?
Just as Zheng Peng was feeling uncertain, Zhou Yi spoke again: "This third hexagram, it's the 'Rabbit with Peach Blossom' hexagram."
"It seems Young Master Zheng's lifestyle has been a bit problematic lately, as if he went to a club last night..."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zheng Peng completely lost his composure and quickly interrupted.
Just as Zhou Yi said.
He had indeed gone to a club last night.
Could it be that under extremely mysterious circumstances?
How could a fortune teller even figure this out?!
The reason he wanted to quickly interrupt was because he didn't want to affect his image in Lin Ru's eyes.
If he didn't stop him, he might even reveal how many times he had been intimate last night, each time lasting only a few dozen seconds!
At this point, Zheng Peng was completely convinced.
This damn person is a true master!
He hurriedly flattered him, saying, "That... I apologize for any offense just now!"
"Please forgive me, Uncle Yi... Ah no, Master Yi!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm an old man, how could I possibly argue with a young man like you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency is so generous!" Zheng Peng exclaimed happily.
"However," Zhou Yi suddenly changed the subject.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat the camera?"
