Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 331 Who is that romantic man?

He Danggui’s eyes widened, and she whispered, too, “What? You must’ve made a mistake. I asked another person to foresee my marriage. He is also a fortuneteller. But what he said is completely different from you!”

Bai Yangbai asked, “Fortuneteller? I know all of fortunetellers. There are no more than eight true fortunetellers in the world. Who are you talking about?” He asked sullenly. Except for the displeasure of being questioned, he saw he was the most impossible one to marry He Danggui comparing to other three men: Meng Xuan, Duan Xiaolou, Zhu Quan. So he felt inexplicably upset.

He Danggui blinked her eyes with her mouth opened, but she didn’t know how to answer him. How would she tell Bai Yangbai that in a dreamlike realm, she met Master Prophet Qi Xuanyu, who was neither a human nor a ghost. Qi Xuanyu claimed that his hexagram of nature’s mystery was the greatest fortunetelling tool in the world, so he could foresee nature’s mystery, and even Bai Yangbai was unable to match him.

Qi Xuanyu claimed that her marriage was related to three men, Meng Xuan, Bai Yangbai, and Zhu Quan. While Bai Yangbai claimed that none of them would be her future husband, including Duan Xiaolou who Qi even didn’t mention. How could it be! She and Meng Xuan had pledged to get married privately, and how could she marry another man... Or maybe Meng Xuan didn’t marry her, and she became a Taoist nun eventually?

Thinking of this, she asked, “Didn’t I get married in the end and became a Taoist nun?” Although she was truly a little interested in the skill of immortality that Bai Yangbai had mentioned a few days ago, it was not enough to induce her to be a Taoist nun!

Bai Yangbai picked up some pieces of turtle shell and coppers, and shook them up and down. He poured out to have a look, and then put them back to shake. He did that three times. After getting the result, he arranged and deduced with other coppers he prepared as if calculating a complicated math problem, which made He Danggui feel dizzy.

After a while, the result came out. Bai Yangbai raised his head, looked at her, and said, “Your natal chart has been tampered with by others. I didn’t know what was it like before, but now it says your future husband will not be Meng Xuan, Duan Xiaolou, Zhu Quan, or me. And as for the one you will marry, I guess you’ve never seen him until now.” He was unprecedentedly serious, which indicated that what he said was not kidding.

He Danggui was stunned, and asked inconceivably, “The natal chart can be changed? Wouldn’t the natural law be messed up? I have never heard of such a thing. Are you bluffing me?”

Bai Yangbai stared at the coppers on the table carefully, and then shook his head with a sigh, “You will suffer a miserable life, poor girl.”

He Danggui became nervous, “How could that be? What misfortune will happen to me?”

Bai Yangbai didn’t answer her question, only repeated, “How poor you are. Alas, what a miserable girl.”

He Danggui was annoyed. She banged the table and asked, “If you don’t tell me, I will leave!” In fact, she was so frightened by this hexagram, so wouldn’t leave unless Bai Yangbai told her the details of her natal chart.

Bai Yangbai stroked his chin, grinned, showing his white and sharp teeth, and said in a low and ambiguous voice, “Girl, your future husband was originally a gentleman. He wasn’t interested in any loving affairs and didn’t show any feelings to his concubines. But he loved making out only with you after witnessing your beauty.” Hearing what he said, He Danggui became expressionless. Seeing that, Bai Yangbai continued gloatingly, “Resign yourself to the fate. You’re going to marry a romantic man. Maybe you won’t want my Beautifying Soup a few months after you get married, and maybe you want yourself to be uglier.”

He Danggui was extremely angry after realizing that she was teased by Bai Yangbai. She threatened, “I will castrate you if you talk nonsense again! Whether your divination is accurate or not? Meng Xuan and me... We are scheduled to get married right next month.” As long as she asked, Meng Xuan would marry her before next month. After hearing this, he might go to Madam Meng to propose to her tomorrow. Then the established natal chart would be invalid, right?

Bai Yangbai looked at the hexagram displayed by coppers and muttered, “Your future husband is also a big shot. He is as handsome as me, and his status is equivalent to Quan, even higher than him. Most importantly, his skills on the bed are top-notch.”

He Danggui was embarrassed and angry, and said, “Who is this person you are talking about? Can you foresee something serious? I trust you so much and want you to tell my fortune. Don’t play a joke on me!”

“This hexagram didn’t show who he is, but let me take a look... Well, bronzed face, wide shoulders, narrow waist, tight hips, and leggy. He is at the age with the strongest desire, and he is about half a year older than Quan... In the daytime, he has to suppress himself to be gentle, so he has to release himself in the evening... Well, you are the one who will help him...” Bai Yangbai was concentrated on the coppers as if discovering the magical and mysterious man behind it, and he finally came to a conclusion—

“Poor girl, you will suffer a lot.”

He Danggui was utterly confused. After a few deep breaths, she tried her best to ask him in a calm tone, “I don’t want to marry anyone else except Meng Xuan. There must be a way to change my natal chart, right? A few days ago, I asked a mysterious fortuneteller to have divination for me, and he is also well versed in divination. He told me clearly that Meng Xuan and I are supposed to be together. So, if it is true that someone has tampered with my natal chart, you must know how to correct it, right?” Looking at his haughty face, she pleaded, “I know you are a master of Taoism. Qianjun, I believe you can do it with your ability!”

Bai Yangbai sat upright, looking down at her arrogantly, and grinned, “Do you believe in my ability? Sorry, this time you are wrong. I can’t help you because I don’t know what your original natal chart was like, and changing it back should be done in a reasonable way. If the natal chart is misplaced, and it can be changed by anyone, then I could find a Bai dynasty and become the Emperor myself! So... I’m sorry. I can’t help you.”

“If you can’t help me, who else in this world can help me?” He Danggui tugged his sleeve, and said, “The happiness for the rest of my life depends on you. Aren’t you the Taoist Sage helping people in distress? Please try to figure out ways!”

Originally, she only believed in destiny for 30%-40%, but the fortunetellers around her, Bai Yangbai and Qi Xuanyu, all look like a master of nature’s mystery. Therefore, she gradually believed it for 90%. After all, Bai Yangbai claimed in the previous life that she and her daughter would die before her daughter’s first birthday, and it became true. Three years ago, Qi Xuanyu unveiled her life’s experience before her previous life with one time of divination, and it was confirmed in the seventh stage, so she couldn’t help but believe it. Even if she believed that man could conquer nature, it was necessary to take precautions.

Bai Yangbai had never seen a soft-spoken and submissive He Danggui. Thinking that she kept a low profile to marry Meng Xuan, he was jealous, but said coldly, “I’m not worthy of your trust. How do you know that I won’t change Meng Xuan to Bai Yangbai when I modify your natal chart?”

When He Danggui heard that there was a way to change the natal chart back, she kept shaking his sleeve at once, begging him, “Qianjun, you know how to help me, right? I’m suffering a harsh life, so please help me!” Seeing Bai Yangbai holding his head high, He Danggui was so uncomfortable and confused. Was what Bai Yangbai said true? Who changed her natal chart on earth!

Bai Yangbai pulled his sleeve away, shrugged, and said, “I’m willing to help but unable to do so. There is something you don’t know. That is, anyone can tell you a fortune with your date of birth and eight characters of a horoscope. After knowing your natal chart, as long as one knows the correct method, a Taoist priest or a fortuneteller, and even the fortuneteller Mr. Li who swindled at your home this morning, can tamper with, smear, or rewrite it. It’s just that the effect is various due to different levels of skills. For example, the fortuneteller Mr. Li would only postpone your wedding by two days with his skills.”

“So you mean, the one who tampered with my natal chart is a person with great supernatural power?” said He Danggui dully.

Bai Yangbai nodded in agreement, “Smart! You’ve figured it out! If it’s really as you said, originally your husband would be Meng Xuan, then someone must have changed your marriage in the past two days, and replaced him by another person you’ve never met, so the supernatural power of that person can’t be underestimated.”

He Danggui became anxious. She looked at Bai Yangbai for help, and asked, “Then what should I do?”

Bai Yangbai sighed, and said slowly, “I really can’t help you change it back since I haven’t read the original natal chart. Even an immortal couldn’t figure it out.” After a second, he said, “There is indeed a way to help you, but I’m afraid you will think I’m selfish, so never mind.”

He Danggui pushed him lightly, “When did you become so implicit? We are so close. Is there anything else you can’t share with me? Tell me now.”

“Marry me.” Bai Yangbai said. Before she overreacted, he explained, “My life is not controlled by my destiny and it couldn’t be easily changed by others. And you know for sure my ability...Anyway, if you don’t want to marry the unknown romantic man, then marrying me is the best choice.”

He Danggui was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed, and said, “I was almost deceived by you. What other unknown romantic man? My future husband will be Meng Xuan. You liar! I almost believed your nonsense.” She stood up and said goodbye, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I have something urgent to do. You can tour the Ting Zhu Yard leisurely, and Bitter Bamboo Grove behind the house is full of aura. Live there for several days, and your mind will return to normal.”

All in all, Bai Yangbai still thought about the absurd dream of being immortal, and wanted to learn her Yunqi Acupuncture, but how would she tell him that this skill was also wicked. The more you used the skill, the eviler you would be. Thus, it couldn’t be attempted easily. But even she told him the truth, he wouldn’t believe it. It was useless to explain much. Just let it be. When she got married with Meng Xuan, gave birth to a baby, and lived a harmonious life a few years later, Bai Yangbai would give up the idea to cultivate the skill with her. At that time, she could communicate with him about the exchange of Yunqi Acupuncture and soup bath.

He Danggui persuaded herself to forget Bai Yangbai’s words and went to Grandpa Luo’s study and found two boxes of silver needles. After comparing the two boxes, she chose the box of silver needles similar to the awn-like needles that she usually used before. Then she put the needles into the needle sleeve on her wrist one by one.

However, Meng Xuan’s cold poison was strange and unpredictable. Even He Danggui had seen it for the first time. It was not enough to cure him with silver needles alone. Now it was not midnight, and He Danggui thought she had to go out to see Gao Jue.
