"Blood and thunder, my sister! Do you think I, Ironhead, was scared into this? Pah!" The bald man spat and then strode over with a fierce expression.

"Bang!"

Right at that moment, a beer bottle fell from the quiet sky, landing directly on the bald man's head without any bias.

Pfft—

Bright red, warm blood spurted out from his bald head, unstoppable.

"Ow... It's killing me..." The bald man clutched his head, rolling on the ground in agony, howling in pain.

"See, I told you there would be blood and thunder, but you didn't believe me." Chen Xiaobei had a matter-of-fact expression.

However, the surrounding people were all in a state of confusion.

This small alley was right next to a KTV, so it wasn't strange for bottles to occasionally fall. But how could Chen Xiaobei accurately predict the time and location of the bottle's fall?

"Can you really tell fortunes?" Lan Mengchen's long lashes fluttered, her eyes like the stars of the night, filled with curiosity.

Chen Xiaobei was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yeah, I know a bit. If you're interested, I can help you with a reading."

"Kid! Stop pretending to be a fortune-teller here. It's just a coincidence. Do you really think you're a master?" Turkey Brother roared angrily.

"You don't believe me?"

Chen Xiaobei stared at Turkey Brother's face, then calculated with his fingers and said, "You! Both your parents are dead, you've been wandering alone for ten years, enduring much hardship to get to where you are today, but you still have a powerful force above you, making it hard for you to rise! Am I right?"

Upon hearing this, all the thugs were even more confused.

They all knew that Turkey had started his career ten years ago, rising from a small-time thug to the leader of a small gang, but he was still under the pressure of larger gangs, making it difficult for him to develop.

Chen Xiaobei was spot on!

It was incredibly accurate!

But Turkey Brother shook his head and said, "Everyone on the streets knows these things. Is this what you call fortune-telling? Do you take me for a fool?"

"I'm not from the streets," Chen Xiaobei said with a shrug. "I can tell you something recent... Hmm... Your wife ran away from home yesterday! She's a good woman, and you drove her away!"

"Damn! How could you know that?" Turkey Brother was stunned, his eyes almost popping out.

This had just happened last night, and because it was embarrassing, he had never told anyone. He never expected Chen Xiaobei to figure it out. It was truly amazing!

The surrounding people were instantly dumbfounded.

Lan Mengchen's mouth was half-open, her beautiful big eyes staring at Chen Xiaobei in a daze, looking particularly cute.

"Master! You are my true master! Your predictions are like divine revelations! I, Turkey, am convinced!"

Turkey Brother's attitude did a 180-degree turn, and he pleaded, "I deeply regret driving my wife away. Master, please teach me how to win her back. I beg you!"

"I can help you, but you must promise not to target my friend anymore," Chen Xiaobei patted Lan Mengchen's shoulder.

This top beauty had already been stunned, lying motionless in Chen Xiaobei's arms.

"Master, rest assured! As long as you help me, you will be my elder brother, and this lady will be my elder sister-in-law. I will respect and love you both!" Turkey Brother promised, thumping his chest.

"Don't talk nonsense! What elder sister-in-law..." Lan Mengchen snapped back to her senses, her face turning red, and she quickly left Chen Xiaobei's embrace.

A blush spread across her beautiful face, adding a touch of charm that made her even more endearing, causing Chen Xiaobei's heart to race.

The surrounding thugs were all stunned, but they dared not make a move, fearing Chen Master.

"Wait a moment! Don't come over!" Chen Xiaobei instructed, then walked to a distance.

He opened his phone, and in the treasure box, there were three marriage talismans, which would be perfect for this situation.

—Marriage Talisman: Write the names of both parties, and it can create a marriage. Whether it succeeds depends on personal ability. Extract?

"Even if I use it, it might not work. This is too weak."

Chen Xiaobei was a bit disappointed but clicked to extract it without hesitation.

The biggest advantage of a weak talisman is that it doesn't hurt to give it away.

"Take this and write your and your wife's names on it," Chen Xiaobei handed the marriage talisman to Turkey Brother.

Turkey's wife was a good person, and he was genuinely remorseful. This marriage talisman would definitely work!

"Done!" Turkey Brother finished immediately.

"Alright, now you just need to go home and practice vegetarianism and Buddhism. Your wife will come back," Chen Xiaobei said.

"Vegetarianism and Buddhism?" Turkey Brother was puzzled. "I get sleepy when I read, and I can't eat without meat. Can't I..."

"Stop whining! Sincerity is key. If you slack off, don't blame me if you lose your wife! Also, your subordinates should practice vegetarianism and Buddhism together to show sincerity!" Chen Xiaobei said with a shrug.

Actually, using a marriage talisman doesn't require vegetarianism and Buddhism. Chen Xiaobei was just trying to discipline these troublemakers.

"Yes, yes, I'll follow Master's instructions! Before my wife comes back, I and my subordinates will practice vegetarianism and Buddhism every day!" Turkey Brother nodded repeatedly.

The surrounding thugs were on the verge of tears. "Boss, don't do this! It's fine for a day or two, but if Sister-in-law doesn't come back, we'll have to become monks!"

"Stop whining! Master says it will work! Follow me quickly, don't disturb Master's flirting!" Turkey Brother, now very superstitious about Chen Xiaobei, scolded his subordinates and led them away.

"Finally safe."

Lan Mengchen patted her proud chest and said seriously, "Thank you for saving me. Leave your phone number. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Calm down, Lan Mengchen regained some of her usual cold and elegant demeanor. Without the panic, her beauty was even more flawless.

"Truly beautiful..." Chen Xiaobei was dazed for a moment before smiling and giving her his phone number.

"Stop being a smooth talker, I don't like slick men." Lan Mengchen gave Chen Xiaobei a playful glare and said, "I'll leave first. I'll call you on the weekend."

"Don't go yet! I'm on the same route as you. I'm also a student at Qingteng University." Chen Xiaobei quickly caught up.

"Really? We're schoolmates?"

"That's fate!"

"How did you learn to tell fortunes so well?"

"I just figured it out on my own..."

"Is that paper talisman really effective? If it's not, those thugs will definitely come to beat you up!"

"Don't worry, anything from the Moon Old Man must be effective!"

"Who's the Moon Old Man?"

"Cough, the moon is really round..."

"..."

The two returned to the school together.

Lan Mengchen, who usually didn't talk much, opened up to the eccentric Chen Xiaobei, and they had a very pleasant conversation along the way.

Chen Xiaobei saw her off to her dormitory building before reluctantly parting ways.

Back in his dormitory, his three roommates were huddled around a computer. As soon as they saw Chen Xiaobei, they quickly closed the screen.

"Third Brother! Why are you back?" The leader, Zhou Zitao, and the second, Zhang Fengyi, were both nervous.

"What were you looking at?" Chen Xiaobei asked curiously.

"Third Brother! Don't ask, or you'll be heartbroken..." The fourth, Li Ming, advised.

"Why would I be heartbroken if I'm fine?" Chen Xiaobei said. "Let me see, or I'll die of curiosity."

Li Ming hesitated for a moment before opening the computer screen and said nervously, "Third Brother, you have to hold on..."
