If an unparalleled beauty is willing to end her life for a man, it will undoubtedly move many men deeply.
The beauty continued, "I have received a total of three hundred thousand taels of silver, all thanks to your support, which can be considered my dowry. I have no other possessions. Please think carefully. I have no other wealth and will not earn money. If you want to withdraw now, you may do so on the spot; otherwise, you will bear the responsibility of supporting me."
"Ha ha, I am willing."
"I have nothing else but money. I will provide for you so that you can eat and wear whatever you want, only accompanying me in bed, and you won't have to do anything else."
"I will give you fifty girls. I'll send you a thousand outfits so that you can change into new clothes every day."
"If a man cannot make his woman happy, he might as well be a dog."
Many men in the crowd expressed their opinions, especially those wealthy young masters or wealthy landlords, who shouted loudly, fearing the beauty wouldn't hear them.
A scholar laughed and said, "A beautiful woman has no worries about poverty!"
The beauty then said, "Everyone present today is someone who helps me through this difficult time; they are all good people. I bow to you all." The beauty bowed three times, moving many men once again. She truly is a good girl. Even the head of the Huang Family secretly nodded. Although this woman possesses extraordinary martial arts skills and is unfathomable, she does not bully the weak and is very knowledgeable and considerate of others; she is indeed a rare talent among women. It is just unknown what troubles she faces that led her to such a fate despite her fairy-like beauty.
After finishing her words and wiping away her tears, she addressed everyone: "Now I will begin to throw out the Rust Ball. Please do not panic or harm anyone; just follow your destiny. Thank you all."
As she spoke, a golden Rust Ball about two feet in size slipped from her hand and began to swirl in the air, moving erratically without descending.
Two hundred thousand men were extremely excited, all eyes fixed on the flying Rust Ball. As it drifted, the crowd became restless, but a powerful pressure kept everyone from acting recklessly; they could only slowly follow the Rust Ball's movements. Each person raised their arms joyfully towards the Rust Ball in the air.
Guan Songtao watched the beauty on stage, completely enchanted. Just being able to see her up close made him very satisfied. Her arrival had given him a path to survive; he had become a fortune teller and was very grateful to her. He knew he would not be able to grab the Rust Ball today, so he kept his eyes on the beauty, observing her every move. He wanted to remember everything about her—her words, actions, and smiles—as his most beautiful memory for life.
This beauty was not only stunning but also kind-hearted, earning Guan Songtao's respect and preventing any lewd thoughts from crossing his mind.
While everyone else jumped around trying to catch the floating Rust Ball, Guan Songtao remained focused solely on the beauty. Though his body was jostled by others pushing against him, his gaze never left her; he wanted this moment to become an everlasting memory.
Suddenly, the floating Rust Ball began to descend. However, as soon as it dropped slightly, countless hands reached out to grab it, causing the Rust Ball to be pushed back up repeatedly. This stirred up excitement among the crowd with cheers echoing everywhere. Yet Guan Songtao's eyes remained fixed on the beauty without distraction.
Just then, an almost imperceptible voice said to him: "Fool, it's time to catch the Rust Ball." Guan Yue suddenly remembered this voice from days earlier when he signed a long-term contract with the Huang Family. Looking around at that moment, it seemed as if the Rust Ball had eyes; in an instant, it teleported directly into Guan Songtao's hands.
The beauty on stage immediately exclaimed loudly: "It is that young man in the black short shirt who has caught the Rust Ball; it is him!"
Everyone was stunned. Just as they were all caught up in the excitement, it suddenly came to an end. And it was that street thug who had waited for Rust Ball? It was a result that the two hundred thousand men present found hard to accept.
However, the beautiful woman on stage seemed like a fairy, gracefully using her light steps to fly through the air until she reached Guan Songtao's side. At this moment, she had already adorned herself with a headdress and put on a mask.
She flew to Guan Songtao's side, deeply bowing to him and cheerfully saying, "Husband, I have come to pay my respects."
Guan Songtao was completely dazed; he only knew that the beautiful woman had appeared before him and did not hear what she said. He immediately replied, "Beautiful lady, please rise. I am unworthy of such honor."
The beauty said to Guan Yue, "Husband, let us go and get married right away."
Guan Songtao finally heard this clearly and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, good, good! Let’s get married! Beautiful lady, let’s get married!" He seemed to be in a frenzy as he stumbled forward with the woman's support toward the wedding hall that had already been prepared.
The two hundred thousand men watching this scene felt envy and resentment in their hearts, and many even harbored intense hatred toward Guan Songtao.
Why? Why could a thug like him win the favor of such a beautiful woman and have such luck?
It was utterly unfair!
Everything felt like a dream. Guan Songtao had no idea where he was; he had become a puppet at the mercy of the beautiful woman, so his memories of this brief moment were almost blank.
That night, when he lay beside the beautiful woman, he suddenly woke up. He saw her lying next to him; her fragrant body scent, delicate skin, and expressive eyes made Guan Songtao incredibly excited as he felt a rush of exhilaration in his body.
But the beauty beside him was crying. She softly said to Guan Songtao, "You are Guan Songtao, right? I’m sorry. I am a woman who has been wronged by others. Please forgive me. Now that I have found this Duobo Town, I want to give birth to this child here and hope you can raise him in the future. As for the child's future, you need not worry; he will have his own fate."
Guan Yue felt a deep pain in his heart. He felt indignant for this kind woman; how could that man do such a terrible thing to her? Truly despicable!
She continued, "My name is Jasmine. From now on, we will live here. This house is off-limits to anyone but you. Rest assured. Here are thirty thousand silver taels obtained from Rust Ball; plan how to spend it wisely, but make sure to buy only the best for the child. Don’t shortchange him."
Guan Songtao nodded repeatedly, then Jasmine blushed and said to him, "From now on, you cannot do anything intimate; I’m afraid it might hurt the child. Aside from that, you can do as you please with me; I will never complain. After all, I am officially married to you now; I am your wife."
Guan Songtao immediately kissed Jasmine's cheeks fervently as tears streamed down his face. He promised Jasmine: "Fairy, I swear: in this life and beyond, I will protect our child and ensure both of you are safe!" This was a heartfelt promise from Guan Songtao that he would never regret.
Later on... eventually, Jasmine gave birth to a boy named Guan Yue!
Jasmine's formidable presence made everyone in Duobo Town dare not harbor any ill intentions toward her. Under Jasmine's protection, no one could harm Guan Songtao. He and Jasmine lived lovingly together for a year.
A year later, when Guan Yue still couldn’t speak, Jasmine announced that she had to leave. Her whereabouts had been discovered by her family; she needed to return home to protect her child from being found by enemies.
On the last night before leaving Guan Songtao, Jasmine completely surrendered her body to Guan Haining, and the two went wild all night long.
As she was about to leave, Jasmine looked at the sleeping Guan Yue and softly said, "Child, I hope you live a simple life, but you must be happy." As she spoke, two streams of warm tears flowed down her straight nose and onto Guan Yue's face. Guan Yue opened his smiling face and let out a cry, causing Jasmine to burst into tears. Leaning by Guan Yue's small bed, her emaciated body trembled uncontrollably as tears flowed freely. She cried for about half an hour before suddenly getting up and turning around without saying a word; her figure had already disappeared.
She truly did not know what else to say to Guan Songtao and little Guan Yue.
Jasmine's departure left Guan Songtao in deep despair. However, he did not feel lost because he still had the child she left behind, whom he needed to raise.
Since Jasmine left, Guan Songtao had been diligently caring for Guan Yue until he was taken away by Futian Shangren at the age of two.
When Futian Shangren took Guan Yue away, he publicly announced in Duobo Town that if anyone bullied Guan Songtao, he would ensure their entire family faced dire consequences. At that time, Futian Shangren even demonstrated his power by splitting a mountain beside Duobo Town with a single strike. This left a lasting impression on the people of Duobo Town. Therefore, for many years, no one dared to bully Guan Songtao.
From then on, he made a living through fortune-telling. Although he was shameless, spoke nonsense, engaged in deceitful practices, and was greedy, the deep love he held for Jasmine remained in his heart's innermost depths. He never forgot her.
More than a decade passed, and now Guan Songtao had become more eloquent. He had earned the reputation of being a silver-tongued speaker.
He was now in his thirties, and signs of life's hardships were already visible on his face.
One day, the streets were still bustling with crowds when a man and a woman entered Guan Songtao's Fortune Teller's Shop and asked him to read their fortunes. By this time, Guan Songtao had seen many things in life; over thirty years of experience allowed him to discern that these two were not here with good intentions. He suspected they were from Jasmine's family and vaguely said, "I have fate shared with heaven; I have destiny that brings joy from above. If anyone wishes to harm me, they are only asking for trouble."
The two individuals were Miao Fang and Yin Dongnan.
