394 You Too Have a Blood Calamity
It was Anthony’s first time traveling, and he had not expected to hear others say that he would suffer a blood calamity.
Seeing is believing. Interesting.
He had not expected to run into the “old immortal” in the group of swindlers mentioned by Aunt Lily.
His aunt usually chose to play a trick on such charlatans…
Seeing Lily smiling slyly at him, with an exaggerated tone that failed to hide the trace of laughter, Anthony coughed twice to hide the laughter of the person next to him, which was about to burst forth. He looked nervously at the old fortune-teller.
“Really? Am I going to suffer a blood calamity soon?!”
“How can this be fake? Why would I lie?”
The benevolent old man smiled even more gently, and his tone became more solemn. “For you to encounter me, it means that your life is destined not to end this time. It’s not that this blood calamity can’t be resolved, but…”
As the other party stroked his beard and chatted, Anthony’s eyes flickered. He suddenly smiled and asked, “Fortune-teller, have you read your own fate today?”
“Ah?” The old man’s thoughts were interrupted by him. He repeated in a daze, “My life?”
“Yes, you might suffer a blood calamity today.”
His tone was calm, but his words were astonishing.
A child and an old man had both said that the other party would suffer a blood calamity. The merchants beside them looked over curiously and thought, “Tsk, today, this old man has even encountered someone who hits back at him… This is interesting.”
The expression of the old fortune-teller, who was being watched by others, changed. He berated, “Why are you like this?! I’m warning you, but you’re cursing me. You don’t know what’s good for you!”
“Tsk, that’s not right.” Lily chuckled. “You were the first to say that we would have a blood calamity. Both parties have said that there would be a blood calamity, but you’re the only one who’s right, and we are talking nonsense? What if he’s right!”
The onlookers also gestured and murmured. In any case, since they were all talking nonsense, it was enough to just watch the show.
The fortune-teller waved his hand, not wanting to say more.
“I can’t explain it to you. If you don’t believe me, so be it. In any case, what I said is true. When the time comes, just don’t turn around and beg me.”
“We believe, we believe!” Lily suddenly jumped up, as if she was really frightened. She said anxiously, “Old Immortal, we believe you! Quick, tell us about the blood calamity. Anthony is our family’s treasure. We can’t lose even a strand of his hair. Quick, tell us how to resolve it.”
“As long as it can be resolved, we will definitely reward you generously!”
The old man did not say anything. He just lowered his head and sighed, as if the situation was difficult.
Anthony, who was standing opposite, received Lily’s gaze but did not undermine her. He only sighed quietly. “Aunt is really playful.”
Behind the two of them, Karuman had been waiting in silence, like an ordinary old servant of the secular world accompanying this trip.
The old fortune-teller ignored them for a while before looking up at them and saying calmly, “I only rely on fate when I do things. I have never cared about money. If you believe me, listen to me. After the blood calamity has been resolved, just give me whatever amount you want. This can be considered as settling some karma.”
Lily nodded repeatedly. “Yes, okay… Tell me quickly, how do I resolve this blood calamity?”
“The solution…” The old man lowered his head and calculated. He was still muttering something which ordinary people could not understand when he suddenly stopped and said,” I’m sorry, I have something else to do today…”
As he spoke, a group of people suddenly rushed over from the other side of the long street. A few servants opened the way first, and a middle-aged man and woman in luxurious clothes hurried over. In just a few seconds, they had arrived beside Anthony and the others.
As they got closer, the woman shouted anxiously, “Master, Master! My daughter… please go and save her…”
Lily gave Anthony a look. “Accomplices?”
Anthony shook his head. He too was a little puzzled.
Something unexpected had happened, and Lily’s attention was attracted.
The master, the old fortune-teller, seemed to have predicted this would happen. He consoled, “Madam Kona, don’t be too worked up. Since I have said that I can resolve the calamity, it’s definitely true. Have you all done what I had said previously?”
The middle-aged couple nodded empathetically. They seemed to have thought of something, and their faces turned pale.
“We have all done what Master had instructed!”
“Master is right. A malicious spirit has really appeared!”
“However, that malicious spirit seemed to be very angry. It came again last night to tear the talisman paper off. The talisman paper was almost torn off!”
“Master! Please save us!”
It was obvious that only the two of them had spoken, but they spoke continually. It was as noisy as a flock of ducks.
“Don’t panic. I can resolve this matter.” The old fortune-teller stroked his long beard. “I’ll follow you back to the residence later. I’ll subdue that malicious spirit tonight.”
The middle-aged couple were overjoyed and wished they could welcome him back to the residence immediately.
The old man did not move. He looked at Lily and the others and said confidently, “I know you all still have doubts. Why don’t you come and see how I cast the spell? After I have subdued the malicious spirit in Kona’s residence, I’ll help you resolve the blood calamity.”
It was naturally good to be able to watch. Lily’s eyes were sparkling with excitement.
“Alright! We’ll go and see Master cast the spell!”
The old fortune-teller smiled in response, and then he looked at the middle-aged couple. “Master and Madam Kona, is it convenient for them to go with me?”
“Yes, yes! We’ll all listen to you, Master. Let’s go quickly…”
The two of them were very anxious. They did not care about the few strangers. They just wanted to bring the master back to the residence quickly.
Then, the middle-aged couple instructed the servants to help the master pack up the table and chairs. After all the items had been packed up, several servants escorted the middle-aged couple and the fortune-teller as they hurried toward the center of the city.
Lily and the other two followed behind the group. Soon, they arrived at the “Kona Residence” mentioned by the fortune-teller.
That large courtyard looked quite grand. The Konas should be the richest family in the entire Sikang City.
When they crossed the threshold and walked into the Kona residence, Lily and Anthony were slightly stunned, as if they had discovered something new. They looked at each other and found it interesting. “This place is really something…”
Lily smiled and whispered to the person beside her, “This is getting more and more interesting. Anthony, don’t make any moves. I have to watch more shows…”
After entering the residence, everyone was busy. No one cared why Lily and the others had come.
Under the instructions of the fortune-teller, the relevant matters were being prepared in an orderly manner.
As they strolled around, Lily and the others roughly understood what had happened in the Kona residence.
The younger daughter of the Kona family had been inexplicably tainted by evil things and had been clinging on to life. They had invited many capable people over to treat her, but it was all to no avail. After the fortune-teller came over, she became a little better, and he was treated as a distinguished guest by the Kona family.
When everyone arrived at the Kona residence, it was already dusk. After being busy for a while, the sky soon turned completely dark.
At night, the magic altar was set up as instructed by the fortune-teller.
Under everyone’s gaze, the ritual began.
The fortune-teller, who was in white, held a longsword which was in the form of a cross and muttered and danced crazily around the altar.
“Devil, show yourself!!”
Where the silver cross was pointing, there was suddenly a dazzling light. Everyone exclaimed in excitement.
“Wow! So powerful!” Even Lily exclaimed exaggeratedly. Anthony, who was standing by the side, was speechless. “Aunt, you’re so dramatic…”
