Chapter 1866: Chapter 748: Qiu Tu: I Can End This War!

One has to admit, Old Bai really understands human culture, and he truly gets Qiu Tu.

So, when he noticed a slight oddity in Qiu Tu’s gaze, he immediately glanced at Qiu Tu, then casually said,

"Don’t overthink. Other races don’t have the concept of fate-determining characters like humans do."

"So they also don’t include what’s missing in their fate into their names."

Of course, Qiu Tu would never admit to the odd thoughts in his mind, so he shamelessly denied, saying, "I wasn’t overthinking!"

"Her name has so many ’grass’ radicals. Grass implies wood, so even as a human, she must be lacking wood element in her fate."

"How can that be considered overthinking?"

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Jasmine, who had no understanding of human culture, looked at Qiu Tu curiously and then at Old Bai, clearly not understanding the cryptic exchange.

Seeing that Qiu Tu wouldn’t admit it, Old Bai didn’t bother probing further and instead nodded, commenting, "You still have quite the way with words."

After speaking, he didn’t attempt to persuade the two to stay, instead gesturing with his hand and saying, "I won’t keep you two any longer."

"I wish you both the best of luck with this mission."

Hearing Old Bai’s words, Qiu Tu put away his earlier whimsical thoughts and responded.

As he agreed, white mist began to slowly emerge from the palace, enveloping him and Jasmine.

As his vision gradually became obscured, Qiu Tu found himself catching a faint scent of delightful jasmine fragrance at the tip of his nose.

The jasmine fragrance lingered around him, making him feel a sense of relaxation.

After a moment, the white mist slowly dissipated, and Qiu Tu found himself back in that small alley. He opened his eyes to see Jasmine leaning toward him with a sweet smile.

Faced with this girl who could very well be a witch’s clone, Qiu Tu felt a heightened sense of vigilance.

He didn’t show any unusual behavior, but instead smiled and asked, "What’s up?"

Hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Jasmine curiously asked, "Brother Tu, what were you and Lord Mu Xin talking about just now?"

"What does it mean to lack something in one’s fate? Am I missing anything?"

Ever since Qiu Tu embarked on the path of "Controlling Evil Gods," he had been promoting human culture to assimilate these evil gods.

So, in the face of Jasmine’s curiosity, he was happy to explain.

As he walked outside, he said to Jasmine, "What Lord Mu Xin and I were discussing was the five elements in human fate."

"The five elements refer to wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, which correspond to the stem-branch combinations in human fate analysis."

"Thus, at the moment a person is born, their fate-determining characters are set."

"At this point, the person’s parents or family often analyze the distribution and strength of the five elements in their fate-determining characters to judge the balance of their fate and choose a name accordingly."

"For example, if someone lacks fire in their fate, they might be given a name with the ’fire’ element. If they lack water, their name might include a ’water’ element."

Jasmine was indeed a girl who excelled at providing emotional value. Upon hearing Qiu Tu’s explanation, her eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at him, praising, "Brother, you humans are amazing...."

"To have researched such a magical thing."

She then recalled Qiu Tu and Old Bai’s earlier conversation and said, "So, it was through this ’five elements fate’ analysis that you smiled while deducing what the name ’Hua Guanwan’ lacked, right?"

Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

Jasmine, as if having discovered something fun, said with a bit of excitement, "Then I’m lacking wood too, I’m lacking wood!"

"My name is also entirely composed of ’grass’ radicals!"

"Pfft." Hearing Jasmine’s words, Qiu Tu almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

It was only in hearing Jasmine’s words that Qiu Tu remembered that the characters for "Jasmine" also had ’grass’ radicals....

So, Jasmine...

Seeing Jasmine so excited, Qiu Tu’s expression became a bit strange.

And because Jasmine continued to probe, he could only cough twice and respond, "Yes.... you’re lacking grass... lacking wood... lacking wood...."

While saying this, Qiu Tu couldn’t help but worry whether Jasmine’s main body would come looking for trouble once she found out the truth....

Hmm... it seems that not everything should be taught to these evil gods. Some traditional cultural knowledge from our ancestors needs to be kept secret.

With these whimsical thoughts, Qiu Tu took Jasmine back to Little Yuan Yao’s house.

Returning home, several women were tidying up, while Little Yuan Yao was feeding Candle Dance.

Her small hand held up a brightly colored mushroom, and she dazedly asked Candle Dance, "Want some mushrooms?"

Candle Dance, in order to avoid work, maintained her red snake form. Only she and Little Yuan Yao had nothing to do in the house.

Also, given her usual gluttonous image, Little Yuan Yao must have asked her because of that.

Hearing Little Yuan Yao’s question, Candle Dance’s orange snake eyes filled with doubt. She animatedly glanced at the mushroom in Little Yuan Yao’s hand and gently shook her head.

Little Yuan Yao said, "No? Then I’ll eat it myself."

With that, she shoved the mushroom directly into her mouth.

Her small mouth was so stuffed with the mushroom that even her cheeks puffed out.

She made an effort to "chew" it, then her expression froze.

The next moment, with a "thud," she fell to the ground with her legs in the air, her eyes rolling into swirls, and her limbs stiffened.
