I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

Page 140

No, do you think I'm not enthusiastic enough, Master Fu Xuan?

Since that's the case, in order to please the diviner and to avoid being treated unfairly in the diviner's office in the future,

Qingque has decided to get serious!

"Come, come, try these pastries! Let me tell you, they taste absolutely delicious!"

Qingque immediately smiled, then came to the two of them and stuffed the pastries from the plate into Luffy and Yomi's hands.

Qingque's enthusiasm left Luffy and Huangquan somewhat at a loss.

But since they've already offered it to me, it would be a bit impolite not to eat it.

Looking at the pastries in their hands, Luffy and Yomi also took a small bite.

"what about the taste?"

Qingque looked at the two of them expectantly, as if hoping they would give her an evaluation.

"tasty!"

"Indeed, it tastes quite good!"

Seeing Qingque's expectant eyes, the two began to speak.

However, the two of them didn't offer any compliments when they arrived; the pastries were indeed quite delicious!

"If it tastes good, that's fine. There's another box of Tabushi, so take it with you when you leave!"

No, you want to take even the last bit away from me?

It's one thing for Qingque to use her own pastries to entertain others without permission, but she didn't even leave any for me?

At this moment, Fu Xuan was also thinking about how to make things difficult for Qing Que in the future.

Having done so much, Qingque looked at Fu Xuan again.

I've been so enthusiastic, surely the Grand Diviner should be satisfied?

But what met his gaze was still Fu Xuan's gloomy eyes.

This made Qingque feel a bitter taste in her mouth.

No, this isn't enough! What exactly does the Grand Diviner want me to do?

At this moment, Qingque also felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

Tired, destroy it, quickly!

"Haha, you tabues are quite enthusiastic!"

At this moment, Luffy was also somewhat bewildered by Blue Sparrow's enthusiasm.

"After all, we people of the Immortal Ship are quite hospitable! Qingque, why don't you come over here quickly!"

Fu Xuan replied with a smile, and even mentioned Qing Que after speaking.

In just a short while, Qingque took her pastries and gave them away without even eating a single bite herself.

To prevent Qingque from giving away the Star Taro Boba that he had specially bought this morning to drink that evening, Fu Xuan decided it was better to keep Qingque by his side!

As expected, with Fu Xuan's roar, Qing Que obediently came to stand beside Fu Xuan.

Then Fu Xuan coughed lightly, looked at Luffy and Huang Quan, and slowly spoke.

"You two have come to visit my Luofu. What are your thoughts on Luofu?"

"It's great, the food is delicious and the service is excellent!"

After Luffy finished speaking, Huang Quan nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two were satisfied with Luo Fu, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Just be satisfied!

"I wonder what doubts you two may have about Luofu? You may speak them, and I will answer them for you."

"Actually, I have a question about the Grand Sacrifice, but I don't know if I should say it!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan nodded.

"As long as it doesn't involve Luofu's secrets, feel free to speak!"

"I'd like to ask, does the Bureau of Taxation recruit people based on height?"

"I ask you with a sincere expression," Rufu asked.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan and Qing Que's faces immediately darkened.

What do you mean? Are you mocking us for being short?

So what if I'm short?

Buying children's clothes directly saves you money, isn't that great!

"Mr. Luffy is just joking, and Tabu will certainly not conduct an assessment in this way!"

Fu Xuan forced a smile and replied.

I'm very angry, but I can't lose my temper!

Ugh, I'm so annoyed!

"Really? You two seem to be about the same height. Or is it that the head of the department in the Bureau of Apostles is not tall?"

"Nonsense, how could such a thing be possible!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan immediately denied it.

However, behind her, Qingque nodded in strong agreement.

At Taipusi, it's all about work, working overtime, and the boss is a workaholic.

I'm exhausted after get off work every day, how can my body have time to develop?

So it really was the oracle who prevented me from growing taller?

At this moment, Qingque blamed Taibusi for her short stature, completely forgetting that she slacked off at work every day and that she hadn't been working hard at all.

"Those who can enter my Taibu Department are naturally the pillars of the Immortal Ship. Qingque and I are just Immortal Ship people who stopped growing too early. How about this, the Taibu Department is most skilled in divination, why don't we demonstrate it for you two?"

At this point, Fu Xuan also didn't want to talk about height anymore, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Of course!"

Seeing this, Luffy nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Fu Xuan was also delighted, and then turned to look at Qing Que.

"Come, Qingque, show these two the divination skills of our Taibu Si!"

Hearing that Fu Xuan asked him to perform, Qing Que pointed to herself in disbelief.

"me?"

"Is there anyone else here besides you?"

After all, how can we demonstrate the strength of our Taipusi if we take action ourselves?

Seeing Fu Xuan's unyielding expression, Qing Que's face fell and she took a step forward.

At this moment, Qingque was filled with regret, wondering why she had wanted to go out and slack off today.

If I just stay at my workstation obediently, nothing will happen, right?

But now that the die is cast, even if Qingque wanted to back out, there was nothing she could do.

"What would you two like to have calculated?"

At this point, Qingque had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

"Can the lottery numbers for the next Interstellar Peace Company be calculated?"

Rufu asked with a sincere expression.

Upon hearing this, Qingque, who was about to perform divination, froze, then revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

"This can't be calculated!"

If this thing could be calculated, why would she need to work? She could be making money from winning the lottery long ago.

"Since the lottery doesn't work, could you help me predict which stocks will surge?"

"I'm afraid that can't be calculated either!"

"Why don't you believe anything? Can someone calculate how many pulls I need in the gacha pool to get the desired character? Is there a pity system?"

After a moment of silence, Qingque slowly replied.

"Sir, could you please ask some normal questions?"

She can only tell fortunes, not predict the future!

Are these the kinds of questions that a human being should ask?

Can't you just ask about marriage prospects or wealth in a normal way?

Even Qingque, who usually has a good temper, became somewhat frantic because of Luffy.

Volume 1: Chapter 173 Fu Xuan Takes Action Personally

Looking at Qingque, who seemed to be being bullied, Fu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, Qingque, you may step back. Let me do it myself!"

Upon hearing this, Qingque was immediately moved.

She had never found the Grand Diviner so endearing; though his body was small, he was able to shelter others from the wind and rain.

Caw! Diviner, we love you dearly!

Upon hearing Fu Xuan's words, Qing Que quickly retreated behind her.

"What do you two want to calculate? Please speak freely!"

"Then, like I said, how about we calculate the numbers for the next lottery draw?"

"How difficult is this!"

Fu Xuan sneered, revealing a hint of confidence.

She was a high-ranking diviner in the Imperial Divination Bureau, though she had never bought any lottery tickets.

It's just calculating a set of numbers, what's so difficult about that?

Although it violates some of the rules of the Tabuan, there's no time to worry about that now.

So Fu Xuan used the divination tools he carried with him to begin his calculations.

As time slowly passed, about half an hour had gone by since Fu Xuan's deduction.

"That Grand Diviner?"

Seeing Fu Xuan sweating profusely, Qing Que hurriedly spoke up.

This isn't right. It's just a lottery number calculation, why is this diviner taking so long?

Given the skill level of the diviner, shouldn't he have been able to finish it in no time?

Seeing this, Qingque leaned close to Fu Xuan's ear and whispered a question.

Lord Diviner, are you alright?

Do I look like I'm alright?

At this moment, Fu Xuan, who was performing divination, was in a state of utter misery.

With her abilities, she must have already figured out the lottery numbers.

But for some reason, every time Fu Xuan calculated a number, as long as he told Lu Fu, the future lottery number would directly change to a different set of numbers.

No matter how many times Fu Xuan predicts the future, it will always be the same.

This puzzled Fu Xuan, who couldn't understand why this was happening. It was precisely because of this that Fu Xuan spent a full half hour calculating but still couldn't deduce the answer.

Would you believe that the winning numbers could change?
