Chapter 64

"May I take your order, sirs?"

A waiter approached at this moment, holding a menu of the hotel in his hand.

At this time, Dongfang Xiuzhe seemed somewhat absent-minded. He casually ordered a few dishes he had never tried before and then sat there lost in thought.

Zhao Hu and Ren Tianxing chatted idly, neither of them paying attention to the change in Dongfang Xiuzhe's expression. However, Chen Yue and Chen Xing, who were sitting nearby, sensed something and tactfully remained silent.

Before long, the waiter brought the dishes they had ordered one after another.

However, the aroma of the food did not manage to catch Dongfang Xiuzhe's attention; he was still pondering over what he had just noticed.

"How should I tell him about this? It's really a headache," Dongfang Xiuzhe couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.

"Brother Ren, I'm already full. You all enjoy your meal slowly..." Ren Tianxing stood up from his seat, apparently intending to leave.

"Brother Ren," Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then tried to persuade him, "You're already full so soon? Why don't you drink a few cups with me?"

Ren Tianxing never drank, and even if he were a drunkard, he wouldn't want to stay any longer. Who knew what devilish schemes this little demon was up to?

Dongfang Xiuzhe's silence made him feel uneasy!

Just as Ren Tianxing was about to politely decline, something strange happened.

His body suddenly lost control, as if he had fallen into a mud pit, sinking deeper and deeper.

"What... What's happening?"

In shock, Ren Tianxing found that he couldn't move, and he couldn't even make a sound. The only thing he could move was his eyeballs.

This irrational change quickly made Ren Tianxing think of the little demon in front of him. Who else could have such power?

But when his gaze fell on Dongfang Xiuzhe, his whole body trembled.

At that moment, Dongfang Xiuzhe was staring at him with an expression that said, "Try to leave if you dare."

"Sure enough, it's this little demon's doing!"

With this realization, Ren Tianxing's face turned grim. He thought to himself, "I knew meeting this guy would bring nothing but trouble. Now it's happening, isn't it?"

Despite his anger, Ren Tianxing gradually calmed down and felt a deep sense of fear. He couldn't figure out how this little demon managed to instantly make him lose control of his body.

"Sure enough, he's a terrifying and dangerous little demon!"

After coming to this conclusion again, Ren Tianxing didn't dare to resist. His only hope was that this little demon would let him off as quickly as last time.

"Brother Ren, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Hu looked at the motionless Ren Tianxing with some curiosity.

Almost at that moment, Ren Tianxing found that he could control his body again. He hurriedly said, "No... Nothing, just an old ailment, hehe~"

After saying that, he sat down again without drawing attention and glanced at Dongfang Xiuzhe with lingering fear.

Seeing Ren Tianxing sit back down, Zhao Hu thought he had agreed to his suggestion and called the waiter to order a jar of good wine.

Ren Tianxing's face was extremely unpleasant. He had never drunk alcohol and didn't want to. As a thief, drinking would only cause trouble, and his master strictly forbade him from drinking!

Just as he was in a dilemma, the silent Dongfang Xiuzhe finally spoke.

"I want to eat a sugar-coated haw!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe stared at Zhao Hu without blinking, with an expression that said he must eat it.

The Drunken Fragrance Inn did not sell sugar-coated haws, but he had seen them being sold on the street when they came.

Zhao Hu's persuasion was in vain, and he had to run downstairs to buy the sugar-coated haws for this little master.

After sending Zhao Hu away, Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly formed seals with his hands, setting up a barrier around them. He then stared intently at Ren Tianxing.

With an awkward smile, Ren Tianxing tried to make conversation, "Actually, I'm more skilled at buying sugar-coated haws!"

Ignoring his attempt at humor, Dongfang Xiuzhe said directly, "Your forehead is black, indicating that you will have bad luck in the near future!"

Without any unnecessary words, he spoke about what had been on his mind.

"Observing facial features" was a skill that yin-yang masters had to master. Although Dongfang Xiuzhe was not yet proficient in it, he could still see the impending disaster on Ren Tianxing's face.

As for what kind of disaster and how to avoid it, Dongfang Xiuzhe could not yet figure out.

Hearing Dongfang Xiuzhe's sudden statement, Ren Tianxing was taken aback for a moment, then felt an urge to laugh, thinking to himself, "Do I need to wait for the near future? I'm already having bad luck! To meet you here, what have I done to make you angry, heaven?"

"If my estimation is correct, you are likely to face a blood disaster!" Dongfang Xiuzhe continued.

To be honest, if he didn't care about this person, Dongfang Xiuzhe wouldn't bother with this matter at all!

"Blood disaster?"

Ren Tianxing frowned. Although he had only met Dongfang Xiuzhe a few times, he knew that this little demon would not speak without reason.

However, it was hard for him to completely believe it, as he didn't think this little demon could be so perverted as to foresee the future!

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't want to waste words or explain to the other party. He flipped his wrist, and three different talismans appeared.

"These three talismans are for you. They might help you get through this disaster!"

The three talismans, as if they had a life of their own, floated lightly into Ren Tianxing's hands.

"Talismans? What are these things?"

Ren Tianxing curiously examined the three messy pieces of paper in his hand, feeling an urge to laugh.

"These three pieces of paper, what can they do? They wouldn't even be picked up if thrown on the street!" Ren Tianxing sneered, thinking to himself.

"Let me explain the use and effects of these three talismans. I will only say this once, so remember it well. If you die later, don't say I didn't warn you!" Dongfang Xiuzhe's voice came again.

After a cup of tea time.

Ren Tianxing's mouth was wide open, as if he had been struck by lightning, standing there like a wooden chicken.

"R-Really that powerful?"

Ren Tianxing's voice was a bit stuttering, but his expression was full of expectation.

"You can try to see if it's real, but there are only three talismans!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe had an expression that said, "You decide."

When Zhao Hu returned with the dozens of sugar-coated haws he had bought, Ren Tianxing had already left.

Only Dongfang Xiuzhe, Chen Yue, and Chen Xing were there, greedily devouring the haws without a trace of conscience...
