Halfway through her prayers, Aurelia Shaw suddenly thought, as soone who had died once, would kneeling before a Buddha statue be considered disrespectful to the deity?
"What an unusual fate." An ancient voice suddenly sounded.
Aurelia opened her eyes and saw an elderly man in deep red robes, "Are you talking to ?"
Could she have run into one of those so-called spiritual frauds?
What kind of tricks do those frauds use again? Oh right, young lady, you have extraordinary bones and an unusual appearance. I have a rare treasure here that can help you achieve great success and fulfill your desires.
"This is the first ti I've seen soone with such a peculiar fate," the old man said, squinting his wrinkled eyes, "You carry the fate of two lifetis."
Aurelia was taken aback.
Could he be referring to her rebirth?
"What does the master an by that?"
The old man smiled with a profound expression, "Changed, it has changed to sothing different. This is truly the first ti I've seen this. Miss, are you interested in getting a talisman?"
Aurelia was initially interested, but upon hearing that, she lost all interest. It was indeed a scamr trying to con money, and she almost believed those words.
She stood up casually and asked offhandedly, "How much?"
After all, she ca here intending to get a talisman anyway.
The old man shook his head and placed the talisman in her palm, "I won't take your money."
"No charge?" Aurelia was slightly surprised, could she have misunderstood?
She thanked the old man and stepped out of the main hall, only to hear him say from behind her: "There's soone who followed you here, a true romantic. I hope there will be a good ending."
Aurelia turned around, only to see the old man turn back and walk into the hall.
Looking down at the talisman in her hand, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
Aurelia shivered sharply, tucked the talisman into her pocket, and hurriedly walked down the mountain.
This place was too eerie. She really wasn't suited for such locations.
Honk honk——!
A car on the roadside suddenly honked at her.
Aurelia was startled and turned to see a sowhat familiar car. The window rolled down, revealing the familiar face of Gustavo Yates.
"Young Madam."
Aurelia raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp, "Little Gustavo, if you dare call that one more ti, do you believe I'll have your hide?"
Gustavo shivered fiercely, his heart filled with tears, why were both the husband and wife... oh no, ex-husband and ex-wife so frightening?
And also! My na is Gustavo Yates, not Little Gustavo!
Little Gustavo, what Little Gustavo, if they keep calling that, people will think I'm bent.
Full of indignation, he didn't dare express it in front of the person in the back seat of the car.
He pulled a reluctant smile on his refined face, "Young... cough cough, Miss Shaw, are you here to offer incense too? My boss just finished offering incense as well. It's quite hard to get a cab around here, why not ride back with us?"
Mason Nightshade ca to offer incense too?
Aurelia looked at the tinted glass at the back seat, where a silhouette could be faintly seen.
Gustavo considerately lowered the back seat window.
Aurelia's probing gaze t Mason Nightshade's deep black eyes, which bore a mischievous glint, causing her to blush slightly and glare at Gustavo.
Gustavo: "..."
Did he do sothing wrong?
Mason Nightshade: "Not wrong, you'll get a raise when we return."
"Get in the car." Mason Nightshade said in a low voice.
Aurelia didn't hesitate and got in the car.
It's indeed tough to catch a cab here.
"Did you co to offer incense too?" Since she was hitching a ride, it was only polite to make so small talk.
