"Forget it, no matter what, you two, follow me!"

She selectively ignored Feng Luo and Shen He, and looked at Paimeng and Ying instead: "Time is running out, we have to go quickly."

"what?"

Paimeng was also full of questions, but she used her brain and soon came up with a possibility.

"Oh! I see. You must be the kind of fortune teller who does door-to-door sales. But I'm sorry, we don't need..."

"Oh?"

Mona raised her small chin and looked at Ying with three parts of pride, one part of disdain and six parts of confidence.

"You, are not from this world?"

!!!

This time everyone was shocked.

"You, why do you know this?"

The most shocked was Paimon. She didn't expect to meet such a strange girl just after walking out of the ruins!

She looked confident and didn't seem to be talking nonsense.

Could it be that--

"Hehe, because I know the real astrology!"

Mona crossed her arms and said, "No questions, right? Let's go now!"

"Wait! Wait a minute! There are questions everywhere!"

"I really can't do anything about you. Then I will explain patiently."

Mona sighed helplessly: "My name is..." She read out a very long string of names, so much so that Feng Luo began to doubt this girl. Was she joking with him and the others?

I've never met anyone with such a long name!

"Considering that my name is hard to remember, you can just call me Mona."

"Then, I have to go to Mondstadt to pick up a box for my master. This is an agreement made with a friend of hers 50 years ago. But now she is old and has difficulty moving, so she can only rely on me."

"What does that have to do with us?"

Paimon scratched his head.

"Well... because I want to compete with the guy who keeps the box."

With Mona's explanation, everyone gradually understood the cause of the incident.

The general meaning is that Mona is a little too proud to prove that her astrology skills have surpassed her master's, so she wants to show her strength by competing with the successor of that mysterious friend.

"..."

"..."

During the whole process, Feng Luo and Shen He listened quietly beside them. Mona seemed to have no interest in him, and all her attention was focused on Huyouying and Paimeng.

"If I can fight that heir, maybe I can see the trajectory of fate more clearly. Then... I can give you answers to things that are more distant and vague, such as gods, blood relatives, etc."

Mona made an offer Ying couldn't refuse.

Sure enough, Ying's eyes lit up when she heard the word "blood relatives"!

"Is this true? Don't lie to us!" Paimon still didn't quite believe it. After all, finding someone through astrology didn't seem very reliable!

"The conditions sound great, so we agree. Feng Luo, and Shen He, do you want to come with us?"

When Ying agreed, she did not forget to ask Feng Luo's opinion.

"Come along, I'm curious too."

Feng Luo nodded.

"There are two more people, but it doesn't seem to matter... Well, before we leave, there's a place we need to go to. There's a small inn outside Tianhong Mountain, but I don't know why the business isn't very good. The food is obviously good and cheap. The owner has taken good care of me during this time. Before we leave, I want to say goodbye to him."

"There is such a thing..."

Although everyone didn't quite understand, they still accompanied Mona.

"Mona, where is the inn you mentioned?"

After taking several detours, Paimon still didn't see the inn that Mona mentioned. He became a little anxious.

"It's right in front. Just turn one more corner, then go uphill, then downhill and you'll be there."

Mona was ahead, pointing the way.

This is a bit too remote!

It would be strange if business could pick up!

Paimon and Feng Luo were both speechless, but Mona walked over with great interest.

"Boss Zhu!"

"Ah! Mona, you're just in time. Did you see a jade ring on your way?"

The innkeeper, whose name was Mr. Zhu, looked like a middle-aged man with some gray hair on his temples, but he exuded an indescribable sharpness.

Not like ordinary people...

Feng Luo took a look and then looked away.

Come to think of it, why would an ordinary person open an inn in such a remote place?

"I didn't see the jade ring. What about you?"

Mona turned and asked Ying and Feng Luo.

"You didn't see it, so how can we see it?" Feng Luo said with empty eyes: "Besides, the road is winding and round, who would notice if there is a jade ring on the road."

"Ah... this is really troublesome. My precious ring was returned to me by the slime without me noticing. It was left to me by my mother."

Boss Zhu looked worried.

"Well, but with Mona here, we don't have to worry about this, right?" Paimon was very confident: "As long as we use astrology..."

"No, no," Mona waved her hands frantically, "Astrology is a serious knowledge used to gain insight into the true destiny, not to be used for odd jobs."

"Absolutely not!"

"Ah? But you clearly said before that the boss takes good care of you..." Paimon didn't quite understand. It was just a piece of cake, so why was Mona unwilling to help?

"If you use astrology as a useful tool, sooner or later you will be abandoned by the stars!"

Mona's expression was very serious, and now she showed a rare bit of professionalism: "So principles are principles!"

"Alas... Such a powerful ability cannot be used to make money. What a pity."

Paimon sighed.

"Well, originally I was saying that if you guys are willing, I can give you 20,000 Mora as a reward."

Boss Zhu beside him also sighed.

Twenty thousand Mora?!

Mona's heart was slightly shocked!

"Mona, what's wrong with you? Why do you look a little unnatural?"

Ying looked at Mona strangely.

"No, no! I just think that the person who picked up the ring is really lucky. He can earn 20,000 Mora in one go!"

"Is twenty thousand Mora a lot?"

Feng Luo complained on the side.

"It may not be a lot for you, but for me, it is a huge sum of money!"

Mona was like an ant on hot pot, running around in circles.

"But, you just mentioned the dignity of an astrologer, and principles are principles..."

Ying complained beside him.

"Ahem! Although that's true." Mona blushed, "But the boss has taken care of me for so long, it wouldn't be good if he just walked away. Let's try other methods other than astrology!"

"Just as I thought."

Ying put her hands on her hips.

"By the way, Boss Zhu said before that the jade ring was swallowed by the slime, right?"

Paimon suddenly took out a small object: "This is the elemental bait we got from Grandpa Diluk before! I secretly hid a little bit, let's try it with this!"
