It took Hua Chaochao twenty minutes to climb the twenty-story stone staircase.

As soon as she saw the three big words "Temple of the God of Wealth" on the plaque, she heard someone calling her.

"Hey, girl, I see your forehead is black, it seems like you have a blood disaster. I have a method that can get rid of this disaster. Do you need it?"

Hua Chaochao stopped and turned around when she heard that, and saw an old man in his eighties wearing Taoist clothes sitting under a big tree. Next to him was a cloth banner with the word "fortune telling" written on it.

...It was very concise, so concise that Hua Chaochao thought she was dazzled and saw it wrong, so she rubbed her eyes, but when she opened her eyes again, she saw the same two words.

“……”Can such simplicity attract business?

Seeing that Hua Chaochao was hesitant to move, the old Taoist thought that she didn't believe him, so he quickly said again: "Young lady, please don't disbelieve me, I'm a poor Taoist..."

Before he could finish, Hua Chaochao said: "I believe you. I didn't say I don't believe you."

The rest of the old Taoist's words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

This girl doesn't play by the rules.

"That's great, girl. Do you want a way to avoid disaster? I'll give you a discount. It only costs 88. I can guarantee that you will get through this disaster safely."

Hua Chaochao walked up to the old Taoist priest. She didn't ask whether she wanted it or not, but asked, "Are you sure it's me who has the blood disaster and not someone else?"

The old Taoist was stunned.

Hua Chaochao chuckled, shook her head, turned around and walked towards the God of Wealth Temple, waving back as she walked, "Learn for a few more years before setting up a stall."

The old Taoist priest did not speak. He watched Hua Chaochao walk into the God of Wealth Temple and then look up at the sky. He murmured, "Could she be the variable?"

"Cough cough." Hua Chaochao choked on a puff of smoke as he stepped into the Temple of the God of Wealth.

Covering her mouth and nose and clearing away the dust in the air, Hua Chaochao finally saw the situation in the temple clearly.

The ground was covered with incense ash and no one had cleaned it up. The incense burner was also covered with spider silk... It was obvious that this was a ruined temple of the God of Wealth.

…It’s okay, she doesn’t mind.

In the corner, I found a relatively intact incense stick and a barely usable lighter left behind by a previous pilgrim.

After lighting the candle, Hua Chaochao knelt down on the spot. Her white skirt became dirty all of a sudden, but she didn't care at all. She raised her hands to the statue of the God of Wealth and bowed twice very devoutly.

God of Wealth, may you bless me with wealth, may you bless me with wealth...

After worshipping and inserting the incense into the incense burner, Hua Chaochao clasped his hands together, bent down and bowed.

She is so pious, if she doesn’t get rich, who will?

Hua Chaochao walked out of the temple gate and stopped after taking only two steps.

It seems like something is different from before.

What's the difference...

Hua Chaochao looked in the direction of the old Taoist priest as if she knew something, but the area under the tree was empty and the old Taoist priest was nowhere to be seen.

……

On the way back, Hua Chaochao sat peacefully in the back seat with her eyes closed to rest. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of a tire bursting.

The car instantly lost control. Fortunately, Uncle Wu had good driving skills and quick reactions. He parked the car safely on the side of the street and looked back worriedly, "Did the lady scare you?"

Hua Chaochao slowly opened her eyes and thought to herself: Could this be the bloody disaster that the old Taoist priest mentioned?

"No." Hua Chaochao looked out of the car window and saw four or five men in camouflage uniforms holding guns and chattering about something in a restaurant a few dozen meters away.

Uncle Wu also saw those dangerous people. He said anxiously, "They might be terrorists. Miss, it's very dangerous here. You go first."

You cannot continue driving your car after a tire bursts, as there is a risk of explosion.

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Wu heard the sound of the car door opening. He was about to point Hua Chaochao in the direction to leave, but he heard her say, "No, Uncle Wu, wait in the car first. Don't come out. I'll go see what happened and be back soon."

Hua Chaochao strode straight towards the scene of the incident. Uncle Wu was so frightened that his eyes widened. How brave must one be to dare to go over and watch the fun?

Uncle Wu wanted to get out of the car and pull Hua Chaochao back, but when he recalled the calm expression on Hua Chaochao's face when she left, his frightened heart suddenly calmed down.

Maybe the young lady was really sure that she would not be in danger, so she went over to watch the fun...

In the end, Uncle Wu chose to believe Hua Chaochao and took back his hand that was pushing the door. However, he felt a little worried. He stared at Hua Chaochao, ready to rush up and fight them to the death if those people dared to touch a hair of the young lady!

"Take out the money quickly, or I'll shoot you!" Hua Chaochao heard these words as soon as she approached.

The restaurant owner was hiding behind the cashier counter at this time, begging: "I have already given you all my money, please let me go."

These two sentences were enough for Hua Chaochao to restore the whole story of the accident, condensing it into one sentence:

Five vicious-looking men came to this restaurant to eat. After the meal, instead of paying, they robbed the owner and forced the owner to give them money.

"Brother, there's a woman!" Hua Chaochao came quietly, and it took a while for one of the five people to notice her presence.

"What's wrong with being a woman? Have you never seen a woman?" The man called "Big Brother" frowned and turned his head, his eyes lit up when he saw Hua Chaochao.

"Yes, I have, but I've never seen such a beautiful woman," the man replied.

Hua Chaochao dressed simply today, with her hair tied into a braid and hanging diagonally on her shoulders, and she wore a white long skirt. Although the skirt was stained in the temple of the God of Wealth, it did not destroy her overall beauty, but added a sense of fragmentation, making her even more attractive.

The five men's obscene gazes were all focused on Hua Chaochao, but Hua Chaochao ignored them and turned to look at the trembling boss.

Li Biao, the eldest brother among the five, noticed Hua Chaochao's gaze and immediately understood. He asked Hua Chaochao: "Are you his daughter?"

It’s no wonder that Li Biao had such an idea, because except for the boss, everyone else here was scared away the moment they pulled out their guns. If they were not important people to the boss, would they dare to come and save him?

Hua Chaochao retracted her gaze after hearing this, looked up at Li Biao, who was almost a head taller than her, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

When she smiled, the men could no longer control themselves.

"Brother!"

"Shut up. I know."

The restaurant owner saw that the situation was not right and was afraid that Hua Chaochao would fall into the wolf's mouth, so he quickly explained: "You misunderstood, she is not my daughter, I don't know her at all!"

Li Biao and others are now obsessed with Hua Chaochao, so how can they listen to the boss's explanation?

Some people even thought he was too noisy and raised their guns to warn him: "Be quiet! If you make another noise, I'll shoot you!"

"If you just come with us, we'll let your dad go, how about that?" Li Biao said maliciously.

Hua Chaochao still smiled and said, "Okay."

The boss was shocked and wanted to say something but because of the gun against his head, he had to swallow his words.
