This was hard for the young man he was holding, as he was directly impacted by the fluctuations from both attacks, causing him to cough up a large mouthful of blood and nearly pass out.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from over there!

This figure looked incredibly vague, with a magical Dao rhythm entwining all over his body.

The other person's physique wasn't very tall, but the fluctuations emitted from him were quite terrifying!

Like a lord of the Heavenly Realm, he directly attacked Chu Mo, completely unconcerned about the young man Chu Mo was holding.

Chu Mo, with one hand, started to fight directly against this person. He didn't even use Heaven Slaying.

He just exchanged one punch after another with the opponent.

The young man being held by Chu Mo with his other hand was directly knocked unconscious by the impact of the forces.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged dozens of blows.

Neither could overpower the other and, as if by tacit agreement, both stopped simultaneously.

From the opponent's vague silhouette, the light dissipated and out walked a naked little child, wearing a red bellyband. It was the little fellow Chu Mo had seen in the scene earlier.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, able to continuously exchange so many blows with me, the ancestor. You're quite impressive." The naked little brat said in a senile manner.

Chu Mo looked at him: "Little one, you've gone too far. Aren't you concerned about your subordinate?"

"What subordinate nonsense are you talking? Are you blind? That's an ordinary Mountain Spirit!" The little brat directly scolded without mercy.

At this moment, Chu Mo glanced at the young man he was holding, somewhat feeling it's not worth it for him. Following such a callous master is truly unlucky.

Thinking this, Chu Mo, however, did not throw the young man away. He naturally knew the young man wasn't a real human. But Chu Mo even more understood, this young man was a top-grade great herb!

Moreover, it was the kind of supreme quality!

That is to say, even for Chu Mo, this great herb had a strong attraction.

So, Chu Mo looked at the little one opposite him with a faint smile and then tossed the young man into his own storage space.

The little one's gaze suddenly turned extremely cold and chilling, full of menace as he looked at Chu Mo: "Give him back to me."

"Just a Mountain Spirit, already treated as an ancestor's man, is it necessary to be so petty?" Chu Mo said with a cheeky grin.

"Give him back to me. I admit, he is a supreme great herb." The little brat directly spoke the truth, as he had already seen that the opponent understood what the young man's true form was. Continuing to conceal would only make him laughably narrow-minded.

"Oh? Not an ordinary Mountain Spirit?" Chu Mo laughed.

"Don't play dumb." The little brat scolded, "You give him back to me, and I'll foretell your fate for free as the ancestor!"

"A bit too much, huh? You foretell my fate? Can you even do that?" Chu Mo looked at the little brat, his expression full of disdain.

The little brat immediately got angry: "You're nothing! Just a self-important human carrying 50% of Pangu's bloodline, 90% inheritance, and 90% spiritual power. As the ancestor known as Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller, I can even foretell the Four Great Heavens, so why couldn't I foretell you? Do you think being good-looking exempts you from predestination? Or do you think that being divine exempts you? Damn, I've roamed this world through immeasurable epochs, what couldn't I foretell?"

The little brat was fuming as he looked at Chu Mo, his anger irrepressible.

Chu Mo's lips twitched, but in his heart, he had to admit, this little thing indeed had some skill. He could actually see through the Pangu bloodline and inheritance on himself. That was truly not something ordinary people could discern.

"I know these things very well myself, and I don't believe there's anything about me that needs your calculation." Chu Mo said calmly: "I don't feel that I have anything that requires your foretelling."

"Bullshit!" The little brat looked at Chu Mo with disdain: "In this world, no one can truly control their destiny, nor can anyone foresee their future. Even if the ancestor foresees your fate, it could only be giving you a rough direction. Do you think the ancestor would casually babble nonsense? You're naïve! In the past, the Four Great Heavens sought my foretelling and you know what resources they provided? Now the ancestor wants to foretell your fate for free, and you're not grateful? It's infuriating!"

Chu Mo looked at the little brat with a laugh: "You should say, 'it infuriates the baby!'"

"Get lost!"

The little brat was quite hot-tempered, directly resorting to foul language: "Seeing a being of the ancestor's level, you don't even bow properly, already showing quite a bit of rudeness. Dare to tease the ancestor, aren't you afraid it'll bring you bad karma?"

"Don't be afraid." Chu Mo gave a seemingly shy smile, but to others, this smile was particularly annoying.

"Hmph, do you really think that the Four Great Heavens and their rulers are the strongest beings in the world? Do you think that beings at the level of the Great Ancestor are really the pinnacle of existence? Do you think, just because you've become a god and cultivated for so many years, you have absolute confidence to defeat the rulers of the Four Great Heavens?"

The little brat rattled off a series of questions, then sneered at the somewhat stunned Chu Mo and said directly, "The old ancestor tells you, you're wrong! Very wrong! If you really think like that, then I can assure you, you're not far from death. Just like Pangu back then, so confident, yet in the end still didn't..."

At this point, the little brat suddenly stopped talking, then looked at Chu Mo impatiently and said, "Do you agree or not? Give that magical herb back to me. Not only will I give you a free fortune-telling, but I can also tell you many things you don't know."

Chu Mo looked at the little brat, sighed softly, and then said, "This magical herb is indeed impressive. Even I am somewhat tempted by it. But honestly, it hasn't reached the level where beings like you need to pay a high price."

"What do you understand?" The little brat's expression suddenly turned serious. His question was not a reproach but a genuine inquiry.

Chu Mo said, "I understand that this fortune-telling must be performed for me! Unless I never come to this place. As long as I come, you have to perform the fortune-telling. Because, this is something you promised someone back then. Also, telling me those things is something you must do. Otherwise, wouldn't a secret kept forever in your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

Chu Mo looked at the little brat whose expression had changed, and his confidence grew stronger. He said calmly, "But you don't want me to see these things. You want me to have the illusion that I'm trading with you fairly. To use this magical herb in exchange for your fortune-telling and those messages. This way, the promise you made to that person back then doesn't count and doesn't exist. In terms of cause and effect, that person would owe you a favor instead. And this favor is something you've always wanted the most!"

Chu Mo finished assertively, then looked at the little boy: "I wonder... if what I said is right? Or wrong?"

The little boy was silent for a long time, then mumbled something as if cursing. Then he looked at Chu Mo and said, "Damn it! Why are humans all so cunning? Were you born as a bunch of bad seeds?"

Chu Mo grinned: "Alright, Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller, stop acting. You may not look like a human, but in reality, you are one."

Whoosh!

The little brat rolled onto the ground, then suddenly began to wail, "You're all big bullies! Too much! Not a single good thing! Baby's so well-behaved, so cute, so adorable, why do you all like to bully baby? Boohoohoo..."

Chu Mo twitched at the corner of his mouth, looked at the little brat, and then directly took out a piece of candy from his body and threw it over: "Alright, alright, stop crying, uncle will give you candy."

"Wow!"

The little brat snatched the candy with an expression of nostalgia and reminiscence in his eyes. Finally, it turned into a soft sigh.

Then he suddenly transformed. Into a white-bearded old man.

Acting serious, it was hard to believe.

If one hadn't seen him rolling and crying on the ground just now, it would be hard to believe that such an ancient monster could have that side.

"Candy, such good stuff." The Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller sighed, "It has been ages since I last tasted the sweetness of candy. Just thinking about it feels sweet. Humans, truly adept at coaxing people..."

He shook his head and looked at Chu Mo: "That magical herb, it's yours."

Chu Mo nodded: "I know."

The Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller's expression was a bit complex, seemingly on the verge of anger but ultimately restrained, for it was an old promise of his.

He lost a wager, the bet being he had to become a naked little child and do a fortune-telling for any human clan cultivator who came looking for him, and offer some messages for free. If that human clan cultivator gave him a piece of candy, then he could revert to his original form. Otherwise, he still had to walk the world in the form of a little brat until someone gave him candy.

This seemed like some kind of childish prank, yet both the Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller and the one he wagered with knew, it was not a prank. It had deeper significance.

This alone showed that the person he wagered with had superior fortune-telling ability compared to the Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller!

These matters, the Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller hadn't foreseen, but the other person did!

That's ability!

In times past, the one who wagered with the Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller was none other than Pangu!

Such a thing, if spoken of, would be hard to believe. That unparalleled mighty and domineering god of his time had such outstanding ability in this area as well.

Back then, the Elder of Divine Fortune-Teller once asked, if you know everything and can foresee everything, why still submit to the designs of destiny?

Back then, Pangu gave him a speech that he has remembered vividly to this day.
