84: Prince Fu's Dream

"So beautiful..." Prince Fu's eyes were intoxicated as he gazed foolishly at Sabado's handsome face, mumbling. Drool had long since dripped down the corners of his mouth onto his robes...

Sabado's hand trembled when he heard this. The teacup he was holding swayed, and a few drops of tea splashed out. His face became incredibly awkward. He quickly pulled out a clean tea cloth from his in my arms to wipe it, but Prince Fu's greasy pig-hand suddenly grabbed him!

"Your Highness... this one is... a man..." Sabado said, his face flushed, his voice subtly infused with spiritual power.

Prince Fu jolted awake at his words, and his expression immediately became unnatural. However, having navigated the romantic world for many years, he remembered the purpose of his visit and seized the opportunity to say, "Pavilion Master, quickly save this Prince!!!"

"What?!" Sabado was stunned.

"Pavilion Master, please save this Prince... This Prince can barely hold on anymore..." Prince Fu sobbed, even managing to squeeze out a few tears from the corners of his eyes...

"Your Highness, don't worry. Let's talk calmly. Have a cup of tea to calm yourself first!" Sabado soothed.

Prince Fu nodded, released his greasy hand from Sabado, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. He immediately praised, "Good tea! Good tea! The tea's color is like jade, it makes the tongue salivate upon entry, and the fragrance fills the throat, just like the vibrant beauty here at the Pavilion Master's..."

"Your Highness exaggerates! If you like it, I will send you two more cans of tea later..."

"Ah, the tea also depends on who brews it. Some people can turn good tea into bad tea, while others can brew even ordinary tea perfectly. And some people, even with bad tea, as long as you watch them brew it, the tea tastes very good..." Prince Fu said lecherously.

Sabado secretly cursed this fat pig for wanting to indulge in both men and women. These high-ranking officials of Great Ming truly played a lot of tricks. Yet, a radiant smile bloomed on his face as he praised, "Your Highness speaks with eloquence, one can tell you are a master of the Dao of tea! May I ask what troubles Your Highness has recently? Perhaps you could tell me, and I can help you resolve your worries and divine your fortune..."

Prince Fu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He said, "For some unknown reason, this Prince has been plagued by nightmares recently. Whenever I fall asleep, evil spirits come to harass me, causing me to lose sleep and appetite. I've even lost a whole circle of weight..."

Sabado's eyes widened when he heard this. He thought to himself, 'You've lost a circle of weight? You're at least three or four times my weight, aren't you? If that's the case, I'd rather those evil spirits bother you more, to help you lose some weight...'

But he said, "To think that an evil spirit would dare to pester Your Highness! It seems this ghost has no desire to live!"

"Exactly! Exactly! This Prince drew his sword in his dreams and slew them, but for every one I slew, two more appeared. For every two I slew, two pairs appeared... They are truly inexhaustible, making this Prince utterly vexed!" Prince Fu sighed.

"Oh?!" Sabado was also stunned. It seemed Prince Fu was quite lucid in his dreams, even knowing to slay ghosts.

"But the most terrifying was a nightmare from three days ago, which utterly terrified this Prince!!!" Prince Fu exclaimed.

"This?! What kind of nightmare could make Your Highness so frightened?" Sabado asked.

"That night, this Prince dreamt that refugees and strange beasts attacked Southern Yue City, which I guard. They plundered and slaughtered, blood flowed like rivers, and they even destroyed this Prince's manor and invaded this Prince's residence..." Prince Fu said, his expression solemn, the fat on his face trembling slightly...

"What about Your Highness's guards?"

"They fought fiercely... and fell in pools of blood..."

"Then Your Highness should quickly escape! You should have a Treasure Artifact for escape, right?" Sabado said.

"It was useless! Strange beasts and birds guarded the ground and sky, blocking this Prince's escape routes. And at that time, this Prince was in the midst of intimacy with a woman seized from the common folk. In the rush, I couldn't activate the Treasure Artifact before they captured me!" Prince Fu exclaimed in horror.

"A woman? Did Your Highness know who this woman was?!" Sabado immediately realized there might be something wrong with this woman.

Prince Fu thought for a moment and said, "It's strange, I could remember her appearance then, but now I can't recall it at all. I only feel that she had a devilish figure, but her facial features were blurry..."

"And then?"

"Then... this Prince was captured by them... they actually..." Prince Fu couldn't continue.

"What happened to them? Did they dare to do anything disrespectful to Your Highness?" Sabado said loudly.

"They... insulted and humiliated this Prince in every way, and..."

"And what else did they do?"

"They..." Prince Fu struggled for a long time, finally describing the nightmare. Even recounting the dream's scenes made him tremble uncontrollably. If it weren't for the purpose of divination, he would never want to relive it...

After speaking, he was panting, his face slightly pale. Clearly, this nightmare had a huge impact on him. No wonder he had been restless for the past two days and specifically came here to Sabado for dream interpretation...

Wo wo wo wo wo...

Sabado's heart cried out in alarm. Even he was terrified by this scene. What kind of hatred did those refugees and Prince Fu have, to torment Prince Fu's lineage in such a manner?!

"Pavilion Master, you possess great Divine Abilities. You must interpret this dream for this Prince and teach this Prince how to deal with it or resolve it. Don't worry, this Prince will certainly not treat you unfairly!" Prince Fu pleaded.

"It is my honor to interpret dreams for Your Highness. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly help the Prince resolve this dream!" Sabado said respectfully.

Without further ado, he directly took out the bamboo divination sticks, shaking them up, down, left, right, and in all directions. The sticks made a beautiful sound in the cylinder. Finally, he placed the cylinder on the jade platform and said, "Prince, please cast these dice first. After a successful throw, then draw a stick."

Upon hearing this, Prince Fu took the pair of wooden dice Sabado handed him. He muttered incantations while casting the dice, appearing incredibly devout...

However, for some unknown reason, the dice consistently failed to land with one face up and one face down, which made his expression falter slightly. Beads of sweat even trickled down his forehead...

Seeing this, Sabado said, "Prince, don't worry. Sincerity brings results, sincerity brings results, sincerity brings results..."

Prince Fu also knew that this was his time to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, so he became even more focused. Whether his persistence moved the heavens or not, he finally achieved a successful throw with one face up and one face down in one attempt. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This Prince has succeeded!"

"Congratulations, Prince! Please draw a stick!" Sabado said with a smile.

Prince Fu tremblingly extended his fat hand, hesitating for a moment at the mouth of the stick cylinder. He originally wanted to peek at the contents of the stick, but later found he couldn't see anything. He gritted his teeth and slowly drew a stick from the cylinder...

Sabado received it with both hands and looked closely: "Fusang"!

Then he looked at the divination text: "When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer. A child carries gold, walking in the bustling market."

"This..."

Sabado looked at the divination text, his mind racing. In an instant, he understood. Just as he was about to hand the stick to Prince Fu to read for himself, he turned it over and saw the back of the stick. He suddenly froze and exclaimed, "Star Fate"?!

His hand trembled, and the stick fell directly to the ground...

"It's happening again, it's happening again! What in the world is going on?!" Sabado's expression changed dramatically, because this scene left a deep impression on him; he had experienced it once not long ago...
