Then there is no more then.
To be honest, Master Hu's physique certainly has a promising future.
"Mr. Xia, I'm having Ms. Ningguang massage me today. I'll put the bill on my tab."
"Ok."
Hu Tao returned to the bathtub and had just untied her towel when she noticed everyone's eyes were on her.
Her blush, which had just faded, turned red again. She laughed and scolded, "Get away! What are you all looking at!"
"Just curious."
"What's there to be curious about? It's not like you haven't had a massage before."
"But it's different... Walnut, your skin seems a little red..."
"No way!"

On the night market.
Charlotte, accompanied by two intern reporters from the Liyue Newspaper, was wandering around looking for news material.
As I walked along, I suddenly saw a hooded girl setting up a stall, with a strange divination planet in front of her.
Quite a few people are joining in the fun.
Charlotte was curious and went over to take a look.
“Your son is lying when he talks about getting ahead.”
"You have no chance with him; he'll leave soon."
“You won’t get rich every year, even if you go to Yiyan Temple to burn incense, it won’t help.”
……
The girl gave a remarkably accurate prediction without any hesitation.
Many people who sought her divination turned red in the face and left in anger.
Before long, there were no more people willing to have their fortunes told by her at her stall, and most people even walked around her.
The girl, however, didn't seem to care.
Anyway, she wasn't here to make money through fortune telling; she just thought the night market here was fun, so she came to participate and leave a souvenir.
Yes, it is like that.
Charlotte, with her keen professional intuition, sensed that there was big news about this astrology girl.
She stepped forward.
The girl looked up.
Are you also looking for a fortune telling session with me?
"How do you tell fortunes?"
"One mora at a time."
"so cheap?"
“Astrology is a serious field of knowledge used to understand reality and observe destiny, not a tool for making money. I’m just in a good mood today, otherwise I wouldn’t be giving you a reading.”
"is it?"
"This is a matter of dignity, and also a matter of mindset. If an astrologer believes that astrology can solve everything, he will be abandoned by the starry sky."
"Makes sense."
Charlotte took out a Mora and handed it to the girl.
"Then can you do a divination for me?"
The girl reached out and accepted Mora.
Charlotte wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the girl's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of eagerness the moment she took Mora, but when she looked closer, she saw nothing at all.
It's just one morra. Surely no one is so poor that their eyes light up when they see one morra?
No way?
You must have misread it.
The girl carefully put Mora away, looked at her, and asked, "What do you want to have divined?"
Charlotte thought for a moment and asked, "I want to know if I will be able to return to Fontainebleau smoothly next year."
The girl seemed a little surprised: "You're from Fontainebleau?"
Charlotte nodded: "Yes."
The girl glanced at her a couple more times and said, "I understand."
She picked up the divination tablet and began to perform a divination.
Strange celestial images flashed across the planet.
The girl's expression turned slightly serious.
Charlotte couldn't help but ask, "What happened? How did it go?"
The girl put down the planet and said, "You will go back to Fontaine next year."
"really?"
"Of course, my astrology never goes wrong."
"When can I go back?"
"This question... is unrelated to the divination question you asked."
"Oh! I get it! I'll pay more! I want another reading!"
Charlotte, being sensible, took out another Mora.
The girl reached out and took Mora, emphasizing in a serious tone, "It's not about the money, it's about principles."
"Uh-huh!"
The girl carefully put Mora away and picked up the divination planet again to perform a divination.
Then some more strange celestial images flashed by.
The girl's expression changed slightly again.
Charlotte couldn't help but ask, "What was the result?"
The girl looked up and said, "Your return to Fontaine will be in the second half of next year."
Charlotte frowned: "Huh? Why is it so late?"
According to her plan, she would be able to help Ningguang set up the Liyue Newspaper Office in about a month and train the intern reporters. Even without her, the newspaper office should be able to operate normally, which would be considered a successful completion of the task given to her by Ningguang.
At that time, Lady Ningguang will also fulfill her promise and use diplomatic means to help her resolve her predicament in Fontaine, so that she can go back to work at the Steambird Newspaper.
Even if it's delayed, it should be something that happens in the first half of next year. How could it be that we can't go back until the second half of next year?
Is this person's divination accurate or not?
Could it really be a scam?
Charlotte looked at the girl with some suspicion.
The girl, quite perceptive, noticed the unusual look in her eyes and immediately said, "You don't believe my divination results?"
Charlotte's eyes flickered: "It's not that I don't believe it."
The girl glanced at her: "You're just a small-time reporter from Fontainebleau, and you've offended so many people back home. You still want to go back so soon? Just let things take their course."
Charlotte paused, her face showing utter surprise: "How did you know?"
"I do not know how?"
"No... could it be that you really divined it?"
"Hmph, I'll say it again, my astrology never goes wrong."
"..."
Charlotte looked at the proud astrologer girl in front of her. She was certain that she had never seen this person before, and the reason why she was sent to Liyue was also very secretive, which was impossible for ordinary people to know.
In other words, this result is very likely the one the girl obtained through divination.
This is not a scammer.
If that's the case, then the previous divination results regarding the time of my return to Fontainebleau are most likely true.
At this thought, Charlotte's eyes suddenly burned with passion.
It doesn't matter whether I go back early or late, the main thing is that it's rare to find an astrologer with real expertise.
The original "Steambird Newspaper" had a "Constellation Discussion" section, a column specifically designed for astrology enthusiasts and professionals, which was very popular.
Now that the Liyue newspapers have stopped sensationalizing Ningguang's scandals, the entertainment section has been performing rather poorly.
