Yun Teng City.
Due to the ancient saying that clouds follow dragons and winds follow tigers, this place has always been considered a land where dragons rise. Additionally, due to its picturesque and serene location, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, it attracts a steady stream of tourists throughout the year, making it one of the top tourist cities in the country.
In March, while people in the north still brave the cold winds, the young women of Yun Teng City have already changed into light and breezy outfits, creating another beautiful landscape in the city.
However, outside the train station, these young women, who form a beautiful landscape, felt somewhat uneasy. The source of their unease was a young man carrying a suitcase. He looked to be in his early twenties, tall and slender, with a handsome and refined appearance. He was dressed simply, but his face bore a lecherous smile. His originally clear and bright eyes had a peculiar look as they scanned the young women.
The word "lecherous" is a derogatory term that easily causes women to feel repulsed, but strangely, on this young man, it did not seem impolite. Instead, it made the passing young women feel a strange sensation, blushing and secretly thinking that this young man's gaze was truly annoying.
"Amazing, damn amazing."
The young man swallowed his saliva, watching the various beautiful young women passing by, feeling elated: "The old blind man wasn't lying to me. It's indeed a place where peaches and plums bloom everywhere. But it's a bit unfair to forbid me from coming here. I clearly have a face that attracts good fortune, not misfortune."
This young man's name is Qin Ning, and he is already twenty-three years old.
The "old blind man" he mentioned is his master, a fortune-teller and physiognomist who claims to be a hermit in Dalu Mountain. Qin Ning, in his childhood, was tricked by his family and the old blind man into becoming his disciple. Since then, he has been living and practicing on the mountain, only leaving to attend school. Under such circumstances, he should have been a simple and honest young man, but the old blind man, despite being blind for decades, was often frivolous. Influenced by him, Qin Ning naturally did not remain innocent.
Life on the mountain was lonely, and the only entertainment was teasing the village girls in the back village. It was far less exciting than the colorful life in the city. After graduating from university, Qin Ning had the intention to venture out. The old blind man did not stop him, but warned him that Yun Teng City was a place where peaches and plums bloomed, and it might not be peaceful in the coming years, forbidding Qin Ning from coming here. However, when Qin Ning heard about the "blooming peaches and plums," he became eager and secretly left the mountain on a dark and windy night, heading straight for Yun Teng City.
"Yun Teng City! My first stop in galloping through the world!"
Qin Ning stood at the train station exit, looking at the colorful world, feeling highly motivated.
"Hey, move aside."
A slightly impatient voice sounded behind him.
Qin Ning turned around and saw a fashionably dressed young woman with a fox-like face. The strong perfume she wore almost made Qin Ning sneeze.
The young woman was initially annoyed by Qin Ning blocking her way, but when she saw his handsome appearance, her eyes, which were already flirtatious, became even more watery and hazy. Her voice became sweet and coquettish: "Little brother, you're quite handsome."
Her voice was so alluring that it made anyone who heard it feel boneless.
"Hahaha, just average, just average." Qin Ning, who was quite proud of his looks, said smugly: "Sister, you're also very beautiful. After you, please."
Saying this, he stepped aside.
However, the young woman seemed to be interested. She stared at Qin Ning with her eyes and said: "No rush. I'm a bit tired from the train ride. How about you buy me a cup of coffee?"
The implication was very clear.
But Qin Ning smiled and said: "Sorry, I'm not really interested in coffee."
The young woman licked her lips, and her fox-like face turned a bit red. She stepped forward, almost pressing her whole body against Qin Ning, and whispered: "Little brother, I'll buy you something else. I promise you won't be able to leave."
A warm breath from her mouth hit Qin Ning's face, making him shiver.
This unmasked flirtation was unmistakable, but Qin Ning still took a step back and chuckled: "I think we should forget it. Sister, you're pregnant. If we go to bed, it wouldn't be good, not good at all."
"What are you talking about?" The young woman's face changed, and she was angry.
Qin Ning raised an eyebrow.
He wasn't lying. After years with the old blind man, his skills in physiognomy were excellent. The young woman's uterus was unstable, clearly indicating pregnancy. However, the veins around her temples and the corners of her eyes suggested she had many lovers, and she probably didn't know who the father was. He pointed at her belly and said with a smile: "Sister, you are really pregnant. Moreover, your life palace is dark, and the black spots between your eyebrows indicate great danger. Fortunately, you met me, or you would be in big trouble."
The young woman laughed in anger, coldly saying: "So you're a fraud, playing this trick on me?"
Her voice was not loud, but the train station was bustling with people. Her fair skin and beautiful face, along with her fox-like features, already drew attention. After hearing her words, people started to look over, and their gazes towards Qin Ning were filled with disdain.
"Fraudsters are indeed common at the train station."
"These days, fraudsters are even playing metaphysics?"
"He looks handsome, but he's a fraud?"
Sarcastic remarks buzzed like flies.
Qin Ning, however, seemed unfazed and still smiled: "You can't say that. I was just being kind."
"Phew!" The young woman was not pleased. She had initially wanted to seduce this handsome guy for some relaxation, but now she felt disgusted and shouted: "Get lost!"
Qin Ning shrugged. As a physiognomist, he could never panic, or how could he gain people's trust? He smiled: "Beauty, if you don't believe me, that's fine. No need to insult me. I was just concerned about the child in your belly."
"I'm not pregnant!" The young woman's face turned red with embarrassment: "If you keep lying, I'll call the police!"
However, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She didn't want to deal with Qin Ning anymore and hurried to leave.
At this moment, a man in a suit and tie walked out of the crowd. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked refined, but a greedy desire flashed in his eyes as he looked at the young woman. He then put on a confident and sunny smile and said: "This friend, the lady is clearly not pregnant. How can you speak such nonsense?"
He gave the young woman a reassuring look, as if to say, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Qin Ning's smile grew wider: "I always speak the truth."
The man chuckled and shook his head, saying: "The lady's complexion is poor, but it's just due to internal disharmony. You're making it sound like a great danger, which is ridiculous."
He asked about the young woman's perfume, and his desire stirred again, but he quickly concealed it, smiling: "I'm Dr. Lin Mo from Fengshan Hospital. Miss, don't worry. I observed your complexion just now, and you are definitely not pregnant."
