Forty-nine bamboo divination lots might not have sounded like a lot, but by putting them together in different arrangements, countless hexagram diagrams could be formed. They could be assembled in a form so big that it could be used to tell an empire’s future, and so small that it could determine the fate of a single person. All futures could be told. According to the Stele’s records, a top-level Fortune Teller had Divine Knowledge and could see the future of everything. Unfortunately, even though he had spent a lot of effort in this area, Yang Ling still hadn’t improved much. He was far from being a fortune-telling Master!

However, even though he couldn’t accurately predict every single thing at the moment, he wouldn’t have much trouble in creating a rough outline of a person’s future!

After bathing and changing in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, Yang Ling calmly returned to his small tent and sat down cross-legged on the ground. While chanting the Fortune Telling Mantra, he lightly shook the bamboo container in his hand. As they were reinforced with a huge amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy, the bamboo divination lots gave off a five-colored glow. Mysterious runes and symbols appeared above every bamboo divination lot, changing nonstop like flowing water.

The Five Element Fortune Telling!

Unlike other types of fortune-telling, the Five Element Fortune Telling cost large amounts of Wizard Power and Soul Energy, using powerful Wizardry to forcefully predict the future. The bigger the event and the more people involved in the prediction, the more Wizard Power and Mental Energy would be exhausted. There was a huge chance of failure and even a possibility of blowback from the Wizardry.

Usually, Yang Ling wouldn’t take such risks to make a prediction, but for the sake of the Demoness, he had no choice but to try!

Whoosh…

After a wave of intense shaking, the 49 bamboo lots stuck themselves into the ground, forming the shape of a plum blossom. The bamboo lots of every color were well spaced out. The mysterious runes flashed faintly, synchronizing with each other from a distance. The scene looked quite beautiful and very aesthetic, but Yang Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, felt a jolt go down his body after looking at it carefully. His face went pale!

The Five Plum Blossom of the Ninth Heavenly Stem, meaning great misfortune!

Even though he couldn’t accurately predict the Demoness’ fate, the fortune said that it would be extremely unpleasant, just as Yang Ling had always felt in his gut. According to the prediction from the diagram, it was highly possible that the relationship between her and Richardson could become a tragedy. An unprecedented tragedy that was almost impossible to predict with accuracy!

“No, I definitely cannot let the two of them continue the relationship!” Yang Ling decisively picked up and put away the bamboo divination lots. Even so, just as he was trying to think of an excuse he could use to separate Richardson and the Demoness, a choked sob came from outside the tent.

“My Lord, Sara is begging you, please allow me and Richardson to go to the Death Dimension to see his mother!” the Demoness dropped to her knees in front of the tent, tears flowing down her face. “My Lord, Sara is sorry. I will not be able to be by your side and serve you every day from now on. My Lord, I beg of you…”

Winter had come without anyone noticing. After night fell, a layer of frost formed over the ground, cold and chilling to the bone. The Demoness ignored the bone-chilling winter wind as she knelt on the ice-cold floor, bitterly begging for Yang Ling’s approval.

Looking at the sweet, beautiful Demoness who was kneeling on the ground with tears flowing down her cheeks, Richardson felt heart-wrenching pain. He took off his jacket and gently used it to cover her. Many times he had wanted to join her in begging for Yang Ling’s approval, but after opening his mouth, he didn’t know what to say. The Corpse Wizard King and the Blood Angel Ophilia stood silently to the side, hoping that the Demoness wouldn’t leave the Magical Beasts Army Base. But after looking at her suffering and pitiful expression, they also didn’t wish to see her so upset. As sisters of the Demoness, Ophilia and the Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth felt their hearts ache even more for her as she begged. They almost knelt down to plead with Yang Ling as well.

Yang Ling thought for a long time, then decided he should get straight to the point. “Sara, you’ll be in grave danger if you go to the Death Dimension now. It’s better if you stay here. There are some memories that will fade with time!”

No matter what, he really didn’t wish to see the Demoness continue walking towards an unpredictable and dangerous tragedy. Mountains, oceans, and the terrifying Space Turbulence all stood between the Tailun Continent and the Death Dimension. It was an extremely long journey. If anything bad happened, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to render aid in time, even if he managed to get the news.

“My Lord, no matter how large the risk might be, even if I have to pay with my life, I wish to be with Richardson!” The Demoness’ delicate shoulders shook. After wiping her tears, she continued, “No matter what bad things happen from now on, Sara definitely won’t regret it. I beg my Lord to let the two of us be together. My Lord, I beg of you…”

The Demoness was unyielding. Since it had come to this point, there was nothing more Yang Ling could say. After releasing a long sigh, he fell silent and didn’t say anything. After thinking for a long time, he took out a block of red sandalwood from his Space Ring and started to carve with stroke after stroke of the knife.

A woman must marry as sure as the sky must rain!

In this world, there were bound to be some things that Yang Ling couldn’t prevent even if he knew that something bad was coming. Since he was unable to harden his heart and force the couple apart, his only option was to attempt to protect them as much as he could. A puppet might not prevent a tragedy from happening, but, at a critical moment, it might be able to save the Demoness’ life!

Whoosh…

The Demoness still knelt on the cold ground outside the tent, her throat swollen from her sobs and her eyes puffy from the crying. Within the tent, Yang Ling silently concentrated on carving the puppet in his hand. Whenever he failed, he started again without pause. The pile of wood shavings that fell to the ground beside him grew taller and taller. As his Wizard Power and Mental Energy were gradually used up, he started to look more and more exhausted!

Before he even realized it, a night had gone by!

It was nearly morning, and almost everyone had gone without sleep the entire night. The Demoness remained outside the tent, unwilling to leave, her voice sore and her eyes red and swollen. Of course, Richardson’s heart ached for her, and he stood by her side the entire night. Her sisters Elizabeth and Ophilia had stayed with her as well. At first, people like the Giant Ape King and the Dark Dragon King had some reservations about the Demoness wanting to leave, but after seeing her resolve and misery, they only sighed and remained silent.

“Rodriguez, come here!”

Just as dawn was beginning to break and the Corpse Wizard King was about to persuade the Demoness to stand up and get some rest, Yang Ling’s Soul Sound Travel suddenly sounded in his mind. Surprised, he hurriedly strode in. As his back disappeared into the tent, everyone started getting nervous, especially the Demoness. She tightly gritted her pearl-white teeth, not knowing what message Yang Ling would have after being silent for the whole night.

“Will he tell the Corpse Wizard King that I have to stay, or will he let me do as I wish and go with Richardson to the Dimension of the Dead Souls?” The Corpse Wizard King stayed in the tent for a long time, and the Demoness was so nervous that she found it difficult to breathe. She didn’t know what she would do if Yang Ling really forced her and Richardson apart.

Whoosh…

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the Corpse Wizard King walked out of the tent without speaking. Everyone’s nervous eyes were focused on him as he walked directly to the Demoness. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if something was weighing heavily on his mind. There was a tinge of sorrow in his eyes that he seemed unable to hide.

“Our Lord, he… He still cannot agree to this in the end!” Looking at the silent Corpse Wizard King, the Demoness felt her heart wrench in pain, and in that instant, the world spun around her, as if the whole sky had collapsed. Richardson, who was at her side, caught her with his great reflexes and rapidly gathered her into his arms. She had seemed exceptionally weak due to excess grief. Richardson’s face was pale, with unprecedented sadness in his eyes.

He didn’t expect that Yang Ling would still refuse their request to marry, even after she pleaded with him for the entire night!

“These are three Nine-star Magic Hunting Cards. Sealed separately on the cards are a Dark Dragon, a Twin-legged Flying Dragon, and a Unicorn. They will help carry you on your journey. In case of danger, they could also help deter any enemies from pursuing you.”

The Corpse Wizard King took out three shiny Magic Hunting Cards, handing them over to Richardson as he spoke. Thereafter, he took out large amounts of Pure Gold Sand and Black Crystals, well-made weapons and armor, and even quite a number of priceless Moon Soul Stones. After pausing for a while, he continued, “Sara, Richardson, on behalf of our Lord, I give the both of you my blessings. Richardson, because of the time constraints, we were unable to prepare much in the way of gifts. Please relay this to your mother, and we hope she does not take offense!”

This was a dowry? A huge dowry?

After hearing what the Corpse Wizard King said, and seeing the small mountain of valuables, everyone suddenly understood what was going on. After being silent for the whole night, Yang Ling not only agreed to allow the Demoness to marry, he even gave her an enormous dowry. Nobody had expected that. The Moon Soul Stones alone were of unfathomable value!

“Rodriguez, where is our Lord? I want to see my Lord. Before I leave, I must see him one more time!” The Demoness felt as if she had been taken from hell all the way to heaven, and she was beyond moved. At that moment, she wasn’t paying attention to the gifts, or even the Moon Soul Stones. She only wanted to see her master, Yang Ling, one more time before she left!

“Sara, just leave. You and Richardson should take your dowry and go. Our Lord is very, very tired. Don’t disturb his rest!” The rims of the Corpse Wizard King’s eyes were slightly red. From within his clothing, he took out a small, life-like puppet. “Sara, this is a puppet that our Lord spent the whole night carving for you. It will recognize you as its owner once a drop of your blood touches it. At the critical moment, it might save your life. Our Lord also said that, no matter what problems you face in the future, the Wizard Pagoda’s Space will always be your home!”

“My Lord…”

When the Demoness took the life-like puppet, she could feel the traces of Yang Ling’s aura on the creation. Her tears flowed like spring water again. She understood why Yang Ling had been silent the whole night. The puppet might have looked like a simple doll, but after serving Yang Ling for such a long time, she understood how difficult it had been for him to make the puppet!

“Go now, and come back when you miss home!” The Corpse Wizard King put the numerous presents into a shiny Space Ring, then pushed the ring, along with the dowry, into Richardson’s hands, slowly saying, “Richardson, we hand the Demoness over to you. I hope you can give her real happiness; otherwise, we’ll be coming after you. The Cutting Edge Warrior Family may be powerful, but tell your family that we, the Magical Beast Divine Branch, has never been afraid of any enemy!”

Yang Ling had only revealed a little of what he knew about the Demoness’ future, but it was enough to make the Corpse Wizard King worried and anxious. He knew that Richardson wouldn’t treat the Demoness poorly, but he couldn’t say the same for Richardson’s family!

“I will use my life and blood to defend my woman. Not even a powerful Core Deity will think about harming her!” Richardson puffed up his chest, holding the Demoness close to him by her slim waist, his burly figure holding up the sky like a steel tower.

After saying goodbye to their companions one by one, the Demoness and Richardson rode away on a Twin-legged Flying Dragon. With tears in their eyes, they looked back three times for every beat of the dragon’s wings. Even after flying far away, they still turned back to look at the lonely tent in the grass, hoping to see Yang Ling. Their journey to the Death Dimension would be a long one, and they had no idea when they would be able to come back and see Yang Ling again.

Carrying deep regrets, the two of them traveled further and further away. Unbeknownst to them, a familiar figure hovered far away in the sky, on a cloud that was miles and miles above the ground! A quiet sigh dissipated with the wind, unheard!
