lying wolf

Su Mu and Ye Tianwan walked side by side in the bustling market. Among the bustling crowd, one was dressed in a white dress with gold trim, which was gentle but casual, and the other was dressed in a cool and luxurious dress, which was noble and elegant. Both of them were basically short-breasted in terms of clothing and temperament. It was extremely eye-catching among the well-dressed crowd, as if a nobleman had entered a slum.

Walking all the way, being showered by the eyes of people in the market all the way, Ye Tianwan was very impatient.Human beings are always so ignorant. In the world of monsters, if he walked like this, those weak monsters would have retreated long ago, and would never meet him face to face for no reason.And these human beings are weak and cowardly, but they don't dodge or dodge, and they all regard him as some strange thing to watch.All kinds of human smells mixed together, forming a feeling that made Ye Tianmaru extremely uncomfortable. He regretted bringing Su Mu into this town.

Contrary to Ye Tianwan's impatience, Su Mu looked at all kinds of hawkers with interest along the way. The familiar human living environment gave her a rare feeling that can be called pleasure.It has been ten years since she left the human society. Even though the human society environment she is in now is far from the one she used to live in, she is very stable in her heart.

In the world of monsters, they are all strong, and anyone can crush her to death casually, but in the place where humans live, she can conversely play with them casually.Sure enough, humans are cuter, and monsters are simply incomparable!Su Mu sighed sincerely.

"Su Mu."

"Huh?" Su Mu puffed his cheeks and was busy blowing the handmade windmill, without turning his head, he just responded casually,

"Let's go to Donghai early."

"Why? It's fun here!"

Are you here to play?Ye Tianwan was so angry that he glanced at the back of the platinum blonde head, and said sullenly, "Go to East China Sea earlier to find out about Chinese monsters earlier."

"No, I want to stay and look for that Firefox named 'Qing Lan'." Su Mu returned the windmill in his hand to the windmill vendor, and continued to move forward, "That Firefox is related to Chinese monsters, so I naturally have to take care of it." Ask her, didn't you agree yesterday?"

"..." I regret it, is that okay?

"Taiyaki!" Su Mu ignored Ye Tianwan who was beside him with a depressed face, and ran towards the stall selling Taiyaki. "Boss, how do you sell this taiyaki?"

"100 yen each." The taiyaki owner, wearing a turban, replied.

Well, 100 yen is cheap!Su Mu reached out for his pocket, but only touched the soft silk cloth. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had no pockets in his clothes, and of course he didn't have the so-called money.Su Mu turned sideways, stretched out his right hand, palm up, and spread it out in front of Ye Tianwan.

Ye Tianwan looked at the hand in front of him in confusion, the hand was slender, the fingers were like sliced ​​onion roots, the palm was like jade, the lines were clear, very beautiful.But what does it mean to spread your hands at him?Ye Tianwan thought for a long time and still didn't understand, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Give me the money, I want to buy taiyaki."

"..." Ye Tianwan and Su Mu looked at each other for a long time, and finally lost under the expectant eyes of the other party, and said helplessly, "I have no money."

Ye Tianwan has no money? !His Majesty Xiguo, the nobles among monsters have no money? !Su Mu found it incredible, so she changed her expectant gaze to surprise and disappointment.

The owner who sells taiyaki rolled his eyes, and gave away two gorgeous clothes in front of the stall, who looked like nobles with naked contempt.Seeing that he was dressed so luxuriously, he didn't expect to be so poor that he couldn't even afford a taiyaki.

Ye Tianmaru keenly sensed the boss's contempt, turned his gaze to the boss, narrowed his eyes dangerously, showing a slight murderous look.How dare this lowly human being despise him?He is a big youkai, living in the world of youkai, is it strange that there is no human currency?However, Su Mu seemed very disappointed. It seemed that he should collect some human currency like his mother in the future.

At this moment, they changed from nobles in the slums to poor in the slums in an instant.No matter how powerful youkai are, they can't buy anything in human society without money. This is probably the strength of weak creatures like humans.A penny can stump a monster.

Su Mu glanced at Taiyaki reluctantly, and decided to take Ye Tianwan away. She didn't feel hungry, and it didn't matter if she didn't buy it.Ye Tianwan grabbed her hand with his backhand and stopped Su Mu from leaving.Leaning slightly, he softly asked in Su Mu's ear, "Do you really want to eat that much?"

The scorching breath fell into the ear hole, a little itchy, Su Mu turned his head reflexively, Ye Tianwan seemed to like talking in her ear more and more recently.He raised his hand and touched his ear, and glanced at Ye Tianwan, Su Mu nodded hesitantly.

Ye Tianmaru smiled, took off the jade pendant from the sword at his waist, and stuffed it into Su Mu's hand, "Buy it."

The jade pendant in the palm of the hand is cool, and it looks like the water color is very good. The pendant on His Highness Xiguo's sword is naturally the best, but exchanging such a top-quality jade pendant for a taiyaki...too extravagant!The corners of Su Mu's eyes twitched, and he wanted to return the jade pendant to Ye Tianwan, but Ye Tianwan didn't intend to take it back.So Su Mu stuffed the jade pendant into his arms, dragged Ye Tianwan and left.

"You haven't bought the taiyaki yet."

"I won't buy it!" Can she eat the taiyaki in exchange for a top-quality jade pendant?That psychological barrier is too great.

Before he had gone far, he saw a dumpling shop, and Su Mu couldn't walk anymore.Su Mu thinks she should get some money, it's wrong to go shopping without shopping!His eyes flickered, and an idea came to his mind.

I found a relatively flat board in the corner of an alley, carved the word "fortune-telling and divination" with Yetianwan's sword, and hung it on a jujube tree at the end of the street. Just a wooden box, sat down with the corners of his clothes lifted, and the old business officially started.

Two monsters who are incompatible with this small town set up a fortune-telling stall, which is more conspicuous than they walk on the road.Many spectators have been attracted one after another, but they are only spectators. This small town is not rich. Although people in this era believe in their fate, most of them don't have such spare money.But Su Mu is not in a hurry, there will always be customers if there are spectators, and those spectators who can't help it are her target customers.

After a long time, knowing that Ye Tianwan's face became more and more ugly in the crowd of humans, when he wanted to force Su Mu away, a neatly dressed woman stepped forward to ask for a divination.

Su Mu didn't use her six jade coins, but took the woman's coins first, and took out three of them to start divination.Listening to Su Mu talking about the woman in a cloud, and finally leaving with a satisfied face, Ye Tianwan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.What Su Mu told the woman was a lie as soon as he heard it, without a word of truth, just like she fooled those banshees at his house that time, and in the end, he was very satisfied with being fooled like those banshees.Are all the female creatures in this world without IQ?Ye Tianmaru began to silently question the IQ of all female creatures in the world.

"You're cheating money." Ye Tianwan said to Su Mu with some dissatisfaction after seeing the crowd dispersed.

"I just said what she wanted to hear. If she is satisfied, I am also satisfied. Isn't that good?" Su Mu said innocently.

Ye Tianmaru frowned, obviously disapproving of Su Mu's words: "If you want money, just grab it directly, why use such a roundabout way?"

"A detour? I use my ability to earn money openly. In the human world, this is the most direct way. Don't apply your monster theory to humans, Your Highness Yotenmaru."

"Fortune-telling is your ability?"

Seeing Yetianwan's obvious expression of disbelief, Su Mu chuckled, he never believed what she said, even though he could always see through whether it was a lie or not, but for this rare truth, Yetian Maru never believed it.

Ye Tianwan combed Su Mu's soft messy hair with his fingers, and said slowly: "In this world, there are prophets and people who can calculate fate. Since you have that ability, why did you lie to that human woman just now?"

Su Mu looked into the distance, and his eyes became dark: "Fortune-telling, divination, changing fate, these behaviors that challenge the way of heaven require a certain price. If the price is not enough, then these behaviors will backfire on the executor. So Prophets in this world are all cautious, try to control what they say to the price paid by customers, and often mix lies with the real content. They are very timid, they are bound by the way of heaven, If you are not careful, you will be punished by God. The woman just now couldn’t pay the price in exchange for what she asked, and I didn’t want to bear the price for her, so I gave her a lie.” She is not bound by heaven, but It is not arbitrary, and the price to be paid for using the ability still has to be paid.If it's something she's interested in, it's not impossible for her to pay the price, but she's really not interested in things that can't mess up the way of heaven, "You don't believe it? It will be proved soon, my fortune-telling ability It's not a fool."

Not long after the words were finished, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a servant hurried up to Su Mu.The man took a breath, and then hesitantly said: "You know fortune-telling?"

Su Mu raised his eyebrows and pointed to the dangling wooden sign behind him.

"My master invites you to come over to the house."
