Chapter 124 - 122: Chrysanthemums for the Beauty

"Now, let’s welcome our second lucky friend of the night - Chrysanthemums for the Beauty!"

After saying this, Lu Heng sent an invitation for a chat to this second lucky friend.

The online friends burst into laughter upon hearing this username.

"Oh wow! To bloom for a beauty, this chrysanthemum’s got quite the personality!"

"Hope the chrysanthemum you’re talking about is just a flower!"

"When autumn comes on September 8th, my flower blooms and all others wilt!"

"Once I went to a park, saw chrysanthemums, and then opened a whole new world!"

"I can only say, those chrysanthemums back in the day were really just flowers."

"Have you seen a chrysanthemum variety called ’Ruiyun Hall’? Beautiful enough to make you take off right there!"

"Friendly knowledge share: Chrysanthemums have five types of petals! 1. Flat petals: petals spread out. 2. Spoon petals: petals curl inside but don’t close. 3. Tube petals: tubular and closed. 4. Gui petals: tubular flowers in the middle look like osmanthus (if ’gui’ is in the middle, no matter the surrounding shape, it’s Gui petal type) 5. Deformed petals: tongue-like flowers with various appendages on the tips."

"Learning lesson for this session: Chrysanthemums (×) Long-tentacled Anemone (√)"

"Song Hye-kyo gave you a like!"

"An anonymous proctologist shares: The G sphincter is very elastic, but the skin around the chrysanthemum can generally only handle a poop around 2 cm in diameter. If the poop is long dry, or other activities are conducted, it’s easy for damage to occur to your chrysanthemum!"

"Whoa, why am I even seeing this bizarre science talk?"

"This 2 cm figure is a bit conservative! From my own experience, 4 cm is still manageable."

"With relaxation, without any training, 5 cm is basically the limit!"

"Thanks to the experts for the info!"

"I’ve lived an upright life, keeping my integrity, how did I end up encountering you bunch of idiots?"

"Why do I feel something’s off here? Isn’t the Daoist supposed to be livestreaming fortune-telling, how did it turn into a knowledge-sharing session among online friends?"

"Ahem! I really didn’t overthink it, honestly!"

While the online friends were bantering, "Chrysanthemums for the Beauty" had already accepted the chat invite and appeared in the livestream room.

"Chrysanthemums for the Beauty" looked to be in his early thirties, with a receding hairline.

He had panda eyes, looking weary and somewhat dejected.

Compared to previous participants like Cai and Ma, he had an average appearance, not particularly handsome or suave.

"Good evening, my friend!"

Lu Heng glanced at him and greeted with a smile.

"Good evening, Daoist!"

"Chrysanthemums for the Beauty" forced a faint smile in response.

Lu Heng asked, "May I know how to address you, my friend?"

"Daoist, my last name is Cheng."

"You can just call me Cheng."

"Chrysanthemums for the Beauty" appeared very downcast, giving off a lackluster impression.

"Hello, Cheng!"

"I wonder what you plan to ask me to help divine tonight?"

Lu Heng nodded slightly and asked again.

"Love!"

Cheng sighed softly and then began, "Half a year ago, through the introduction of a distant relative, I met my current wife."

"She is a wonderful person, gentle and considerate, with a soft voice, very adorable."

"Three months ago, I proposed to her, and she accepted."

"A month ago, we got married. Though the wedding wasn’t grand, it was very heartwarming."

"I love my wife very, very much, and I believe she loves me too."

"But three days ago, while I was out on a business meeting with my company boss, I saw my wife with another middle-aged man."

"My wife was leaning on this middle-aged man’s shoulder. Their behavior was very intimate, more so than even some normal couples."

"I remember that middle-aged man attended our wedding, claiming to be a distant cousin of my wife..."

As Cheng recounted his tale, the online friends listened in astonishment, mouths agape.

They finally understood why this guy had ended up in such a state.

Facing such a situation, most people would find it hard to let go.

"Whoa! This plot seems somewhat familiar, doesn’t it?"

"Sob sob sob... so the stuff from those movies isn’t made up, it’s all real!"

"Dude, I beg you for the names of those movies!"

"Feeling so sorry for Brother Ju!"

"Brother Cheng, maybe you saw it wrong? Perhaps they were really just distant relatives?"

"If they were truly distant relatives, would they lean on each other’s shoulders, acting so close?"

"I can only say, no more bending for the bull!"

"I think you should confront your wife and ask what’s really going on."

"Endure it, for the sake of the family!"

"How can you tolerate your wife cheating and having an affair? Are you a ninja turtle?"

"Huh? Uncle, why is your head so green?"

"Man up, get a divorce!"

"If you believe your wife, then ask her what’s going on. If you don’t, then no need to say anything, just get a divorce!"

"Bro, could it be that your wife was forced by that man? I’ve read a lot of novels, comics, and movies on this topic, I’ve got a good grasp of the plot development."

"To this, I can only say bro, you’re like a cow sitting on a metal saw—extremely tough×!"

Cheng’s eyes were somewhat unfocused, his expression wooden. Ignoring the barrage of comments, he continued, "I’ve been in agony these last three days."

"I can’t understand why she would do this."

"If she didn’t like me, then why did she agree to marry me in the first place?"

"Originally, being chosen by the Daoist should have been incredibly exciting."

"But now, I can’t feel any joy. I think I might even have developed depression..."

After hearing Cheng’s story, Lu Heng nodded slightly and asked in a deep voice, "So you’re hoping I’ll help you figure out why your wife had an affair?"

"Yes!"

Cheng nodded resolutely, calmly saying, "I’m thoroughly puzzled and wish to know why!"

"Then you should know the fortune-telling rules here, right?"

Lu Heng added.

"Yes!"

Cheng said, taking out a marriage certificate from a drawer beside him.

In the certificate photo, he was smiling brightly, looking like a completely different person from how he was now.

This also showed the heavy blow his wife’s infidelity had dealt him.

"Please hold on for a moment!"

Lu Heng stared at Cheng’s wife’s identity information and called out the Celestial Destiny System.

"System, search for this person’s past information!"

[System Notice: To search past information, the host will need to sacrifice three days of their lifetime, continue?]

The system’s voice rang immediately in Lu Heng’s ears.

"Yes!"

Upon confirmation, everything from Cheng’s wife’s past swiftly played out before his eyes.

A few minutes later, after observing her past experiences, Lu Heng couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

Goodness!

Reality is always stranger than fiction!

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he absolutely wouldn’t believe the story would develop this way!

All he could say was, people nowadays really know how to have a good time...
