Feng Yang spent 26 yuan on the cream-filled caterpillar bread. Then he went to the supermarket and purchased a new set of toiletries—a toothbrush, toothpaste, a towel, and other daily necessities.
Although the things at home actually belonged to this body, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart about using Little Feng Yang’s things. Which was why he spent the money to buy these new items. He also bought a bowl of beef noodles for dinner on his way home.
He didn’t know why, but he was craving for some beef noodles.
As for clothes, he thought about it and decided not to buy them for now. The main reason was that there weren’t any cheap clothing stores in the nearby shopping mall, especially in the section of the mall where he had just gone to buy bread.
No matter which counter he had gone to, even the most basic item cost hundreds or thousands of yuan. If he had bought even one of those items, he would have to drink the northwest wind for the rest of the day.
Hua Cheng could still eat the crickets, which were everywhere. But the money Feng Yang currently had on him was far from enough to survive in the long term. He had to save more.
Feng Yang decided to wait until after he saw his next ‘patient’ to buy new clothes. He would also buy a new school uniform on Monday.
He went to school from Monday through Saturday, so his uniform had been washed countless times, until it became the way it currently was, very thin and faded.
The worst thing was that his uniform was small. In the past two years, Little Feng Yang had grown a lot, but his school uniform had always stayed the same ever since his first year of school. It had never been replaced.
He had to buy underwear too. Not the cheap kind, but not the too expensive ones either.
Feng Yang was calculating all these expenses in his head. Hua Cheng, who was still perched on his shoulder, suddenly felt very sad.
In the past, although his Prince wasn’t recognized as the Crown Prince of the Phoenix Clan, he was powerful and never lacked for anything, including food and clothes. But now, he had no decent clothes to wear, and this house that they were staying in was only available for a few more days.
Needless to say, his Prince was flexible and had a good mentality to be able to accept these poor conditions. If Feng Xi had been the one in his place, he would obviously have already cried for his parents.
“Prince, how about you stop going to school at all? Let’s go out every day and read people’s fortunes, and make money. We’ll surely live a good life.”
Hua Cheng thought it was easy to make money, just like they had done earlier today. Although he needed to be brave to shout loudly in front of the crowd, and had also felt dizzy due to shortness of breath, he just needed to adapt.
“I’ve also thought about it. But, what if one day all the spiritual energy within my body disappears?”
Feng Yang continued, “Also, reading fortunes isn’t my only ability. Indeed, it only takes a small amount of spiritual energy to do it, but there is too little natural spiritual qi here. Although the Xianjue grass has been continuously absorbing it, and I have been using that energy, it’s still far from enough.”
He sighed. “Each time I use it, I’ve roughly sensed my spiritual energy depleting. Looking into the past, calculating marriages, and inducing hypnosis, all of these only use up a small amount of spiritual energy. But healing injuries and setting up enchantments are higher spells that require a lot of Qi.”
“So what should we do? Are we going to look for a place that is full of spiritual energy?”
“How many places would contain a significant amount of spiritual energy in the mortal world? Besides, even if a place like that really exists, we can’t go there now. If I teleport there, we’ll never be able to return to the immortal world.”
Feng Yang added, “It’s not enough to have spiritual energy alone, we also need to make sure we enter and gather energy through a virtuous cycle now. First things first, we need to do more good things. As long as we accumulate more good karma, there will be numerous opportunities in the future to look for places rich in spiritual energy.”
“Well then, I’ll try to do more good things, Prince.”
“What good things do you want to do?” Feng Yang pulled on Hua Cheng’s tail. “Go to someone’s restaurant to help catch cockroaches?”
“No! I don’t eat cockroaches, alright?!” Hua Cheng humphed and curled into himself, his small body looking as fat as a ball, and then turned around as if to ignore him.
Feng Yang knew his little attendant was angry, but he said nothing.
In fact, he had also considered the matter of not going to school a few days ago, but decided against it. Not because he liked school, but because there were so many uncertain factors to think about.
Since he had first used the spiritual energy from the Xianjue grass, he now found that he couldn’t completely absorb it anymore. The Xianjue grass seemed to have its own way of thinking and living, which no one could control.
Feng Yang couldn’t say why, but he had the feeling that the Xianjue grass would leave him one day…

Feng Yang looked on, speechless.
Is this a cricket burger?
Hua Cheng had a delicious meal. After eating his self-made burger, he fluttered about left and right, before he found a comfortable place to sleep.
Back in the immortal realm, they used to say that his attendant was fat. How can he not be fat if he eats and then sleeps like this?
Feng Yang sat on the bed, but he wasn’t sleepy. He rummaged through Little Feng Yang’s wardrobe, searching for any old clothes that he could use as Hua Cheng’s bedding. Hua Cheng opened his eyes drowsily and drilled into the clothes, then resumed sleeping.
Little Feng Yang had been diligent and loved to be clean. So, although there were a lot of scraps in the house, they had been cleaned up and placed neatly in one corner of the room.
Only, the odour of the scraps made him uncomfortable, and made it really ineffective for him to take a bath. Feng Yang decided to find the landlord tomorrow and let them know that he wouldn’t be paying the rent anymore, and would move out soon.
Before going to bed, Feng Yang suddenly felt like he was forgetting something important. But he really couldn’t remember what it was, so he put it aside and slept.
The next day, the wind outside was a little strong. Feng Yang got up to wash and then reached for his phone, wanting to check the time. But, as soon as he picked it up, he saw that his mobile phone was turned off, it had run out of battery.
He needed to use WeChat and the navigation apps, so he quickly plugged in the charger and turned it on.
After it was turned on, there were more than ten new WeChat notifications. Except for two sent by Lin Jingyun, the rest were sent by the Bald Big Brother, his guest from yesterday.
Guest 1: Little Brother, are you still there?
Guest 1: Have you already gone home? I didn’t see you when I returned to the street.
Guest 1: I knew I should have given you my phone number.
Guest 1: Will you still come there tomorrow?
Guest 1: Why aren’t you replying?
Guest 1: How can I contact you?
Guest 1: …
All these messages pinged one after the other continuously. Feng Yang thought that if he hadn’t said as much as he did yesterday, this man would have suspected him of being a liar by the end of his messaging trail.
Little Feng Yang’s mobile phone was old, and didn’t have the fast charging functionality, so its charging was very slow.
Feng Yang was too lazy to sit there and do nothing, so he simply left a message for the Bald Big Brother, telling him that he would still be going to the street today, and the reason he didn’t reply earlier was because his phone had lost power. Then, he took Hua Cheng to eat at a breakfast shop.
There was a breakfast shop nearby, Feng Yang had bought a steamed bun from there yesterday. Today, in addition to a steamed bun, he also bought two meat buns, same as before, and ordered a cup of soybean milk as well.
After eating, he went home and retrieved his cell phone, it had only been charged upto less than 30%. He got on the bus and went to the commercial street, the same street as yesterday.
It was just eight o’clock in the morning, but the Bald Big Brother was already waiting in front of the mall, holding a small cotton padded jacket in his hands. It seemed to be the item that his sister had worn when she was a child.
When the Bald Big Brother saw Feng Yang, he welcomed him with a sigh of relief.
“Little Brother, you really came. I was really worried that I wouldn’t find you.”
Feng Yang wore the same style of clothes as he did yesterday. These clothes which weren’t good in other people’s’ eyes were the best clothes he could afford for now. He didn’t wear his school uniform because that might cause trouble for him if he was seen by other students or teachers.
“I’m sorry. Yesterday, I went back home and forgot to charge my phone.” Feng Yang took the jacket from him and said, “Is this the one?”
“Yes. This is one of my mother’s hand sewn pieces and my sister’s favorite as a child. If I hadn’t repeatedly persuaded her that you are really capable, my mother wouldn’t have let me take it. Can you find her with this?”
“Yes. But you can’t take it back after I use it. Are you fine with that?”
“This… Alright!” They hadn’t given up searching for her for so many years. If this boy could really find his sister, why couldn’t he give up a piece of cloth?
“I’ll tell you the results after I get back home tonight.”
Feng Yang put the jacket in his bag. “Big brother, you can go back.”
“…Do you have to wait until tonight? Can’t you find her now?”
“Have you ever seen a ghost come out in the daytime to haunt someone?”
Feng Yang smiled and said in a low voice, “If I try to find her now and can’t show you the results of my searching, maybe you’ll call the police to arrest me. So no, I don’t want to make a mistake.”
Although he wasn’t afraid of the laws mortals abided by, he couldn’t bear to deal with the troubles that would arise from breaking them. So, sometimes, he preferred to obey the man-made rules.
“Errr…” Maybe Feng Yang’s smile was too wicked, causing the Bald Big Brother to freeze for a moment before answering, “Well, alright. I’ll wait for your news tonight. Little Brother, you have my word. As long as you can find her, I’ll be very grateful to you for all my life.”
Feng Yang nodded in affirmation, then the Bald Big Brother walked away.
“Hua Cheng, come out.”
Hua Cheng arched his small head out from Feng Yang’s sleeve and flew to Feng Yang’s shoulder. A woman passing by saw it and grabbed the person beside her. “Hey, look at that parrot. It’s so cute!”
As soon as Hua Cheng heard the praise, he puffed his chest and shouted, “Fortune-telling! Reading faces! Reading names! At no charge!…”
The two women worked at the shopping mall. Because they came very early, they weren’t able to go inside yet, and were just waiting on the street.
The shopping mall didn’t officially open until 9:20 a.m., and the staff who worked inside had to wait in line from as early as 8:30 a.m.
“Why don’t we try it?” The one who had praised Hua Cheng before was a lively woman with short hair. She said to her friend, “Anyway, we still need to wait. It’s better to do something.”
“Come on, don’t waste your money. Look at him, he’s so young, and with such a plain appearance, he doesn’t look like a fortune-teller at all.” The other woman looked more refined, but her eyes weren’t as clear as her friend’s were.
She grabbed her companion and said, “Let’s leave. Don’t go there.”
“Ah, that’s fine.” The short-haired woman was quite strong. She pulled her companion and walked over to Feng Yang’s side.
“Little handsome, how much do you charge for one question?”
“It’s free for the first question. If you feel the answer is right, then I will charge you for the next question.”
Feng Yang then added, “It’s up to you whether you want to believe me or not.”
“Umm, you… Can you help me figure out my marriage?”
“Well, Big Sister, you just got married not too long ago, and you’re still in the period when you both are affectionate with each other. What kind of marriage situation do you want me to help you figure out?”
Feng Yang smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that the child in your stomach will be angry?”
“Eh?” The short-haired woman froze on the spot.
She knew that no one would believe she was pregnant, because it had indeed been just a short while since she had gotten married.
However, the matter about the child was true! She used the pregnancy test strip last night and the result was positive. So far, apart from herself and her husband, only their parents knew about it!
“You see, he is just telling lies. You believe me now?” The short-haired woman’s companion was about to leave.
“Who says he’s lying?”
The short-haired woman pulled her companion back and whispered, “He’s right! I really am pregnant. I just found out last night. I’ll ask another question. He really seems to be a real fortune-teller.”
The other woman didn’t look like she believed her. She admitted that the young man in front of her was handsome, and his way of talking was also good. It was just that…his outfit didn’t match.
On the other hand, the short-haired woman was full of curiosity.
“I’m sorry about just now. I didn’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to see if you could really calculate my life. Then, can I ask another question?”
“Yes, you can.”
She thought for a long time before asking, “Then, I want to know whether I’ll have a boy or a girl.”
Feng Yang said with a smile, “Big Sister is so kind hearted. Naturally, what you want is what you’ll get.”
The short-haired woman wanted to have a daughter, because none of her husband’s five siblings had any girls. Her mother-in-law also wanted to embrace a granddaughter, so she also wanted her to be pregnant with a girl.
This time, despite what he said being true or not, she was very happy.
“Little handsome, I have no cash in hand right now. Can I pay you via WeChat?”
Feng Yang had charged his phone earlier mainly to collect money with it, so of course he agreed.
He also knew that he would have more encounters with the customer in front of him. So he added her as a friend and named her: Guest 2.
The short-haired woman wasn’t as generous as the Bald Big Brother. But that was fine, what she had wanted to know wasn’t as time-intensive as what he had asked of Feng Yang.
What was more, the thing she had wanted to figure out would be revealed when the child was born, which was still a long way away.
She paid him sixty-six yuan and six jiao for luck.
Feng Yang received the money and was about to ask Hua Cheng to shout again when the short-haired woman came back.
She stuffed a card into Feng Yang’s hand and whispered, “This is our membership card. We give it to new members in our shop as a promotion. With this you can get a free haircut. You have long hair, hehe.”
Feng Yang took a look at the card and thanked her. After she left, he turned around and froze upon looking at his appearance in the polished glass door of the mall.
There’s an extra head above his own!
Fuck!
Feng Yang abruptly turned around to look at the man who stood a whole head taller than him, whom he hadn’t even seen coming up behind him, and who was now watching him intensely.
“What are you doing?”
When the man saw the gauze on Feng Yang’s head, his face turned cold.
“Who did it?” He said, reaching out as if he was about to touch it.
Feng Yang slapped his hand away and felt puzzled. “Who are you? Do we know each other?”
The man was still wearing a cold expression. His tall figure, handsome face, and the unique air of superiority he radiated brought a sense of oppression upon Feng Yang.
Provided that he ignored his appearance and the sudden burst of sadness...
“Tell me! Who broke your dragon horn?!”
Feng Yang, who was just about to touch the gauze on his head, was shocked silly by his words.
“What did you say?”
…
Finally their fateful encounter~~
Hehehe, look who’s finally made an appearance! Can’t wait to find out exactly how crazy this ML is!
Thanks for the chapter! 🙂
Ah so ML think Feng Yang is a dragon like himself?
Thanks for the chapter ❤
I love how u talk as if a dog mistake a cat as the same species…. but that seems the case?😅
…. lol. I can’t stop laughing!!! Somehow I remembered some highschool biology that states: The first condition for successful mating(to have offspring that are able to reproduce) is to correctly identify the same species.
ML failed it.
The fact that he just failed the most basic mating instinct sends me-
😂😂 I’m intensely looking forward to ML’s crazy talk
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Oh, ML is finally here! Good gracious. I wonder if he could catch Feng Yang’s heart tho’. Boy’s a feisty one.
Thank you for the update ❤️
I’m..shocked. The summary really makes you think that he opened a building and ML is a patient, but he’s just a street fortune-teller atm. Why the summary is so incorrect. I mean by events being told you start waiting for them to happen, but bam, it’s totally different. Same happened with general that loves to collect red flowers, few chapters of flowers which doesn’t have anything to do with main story and is like a deceiving title. Oh wait.. I remember you said it’s same author? Then no wonder summary is crap.
But the story is fun 🙂
Probably the author arent too good at making summary, but the story’ still good. Ik some people like that.
Thanks for the chapter…❤️❤️
Oh ML what are you talking about?, I wonder what he means by the dragon thing🤔🤔
He’s very gong-y. I approve.
Thanks for the great translation ♥️
Dragon hubby is finally here~ they’re talking~
Thanks for the chapter~ ( ^ ♡ ^ )/

😂 idk what sort of shenanigans this ML will show us next but i’m looking forward to it 👌 Thank you for translating 💕💕💕
MC must be so confused right now. A phoenix getting mistaken for a dragon while pretending to be a normal human being. 👌
Silly dragon, he is a birb, not a dragon
…… Isn’t husband a bit too cute with this first impression 😅
That’s…. Quite a chance of encounter
Oh my! Dragon Horn, huh!
Thanks for the chapter
Oh dragon 🐉 horn ??
You’re originally a Phoenix, how come did you mistakenly identified as a Dragon? 🤣
