Lin Chen muttered to himself, "Is it worth it? Completely destroying the alliance between King Aum and his father, and getting the water escape seam… that's the kingly way."
The live-stream barrage exploded:
"Daoist, what's happening?!""No wonder the Atlantic Ocean is getting greener…""Little Taoist priest, prepare for the thunderous wrath of King Aum!"
Lin Chen waved his hand. "Alright, let's start fortune-telling."
On the screen full of buttons, he randomly selected a netizen named "Aquaman." The moment they connected, Lin Chen froze. It was really Aquaman—and he had cataracts.
Aquaman, tattoos crawling over his body, flexed his biceps at the camera."Hello! I'm Aquaman. Thirty years old, strong, great swimmer, and currently single!"
Lin Chen's mouth twitched."Aquaman, I'm here for fortune-telling, not blind dates!"
Mela smiled and reached over, touching Lin Chen's abs."This silly big guy is cute, but sloppy. Not good-looking, not perfectly sculpted like Dao Chang's muscles."
The shrimp soldiers and crabs in the ocean froze.
"I didn't expect you to be such a Princess Mela!""Take your hand off him!""The Taoist priest really surpasses King Aum in skill!"
Aquaman scowled, unhappy with Mela's critique. He turned to Lin Chen."Little Taoist priest, I hear you're very accurate in fortune-telling. Tell me my future!"
He tossed a small rocket at Lin Chen, which hit painfully, but Lin Chen nodded."What do you want to know?"
Aquaman thought for a moment."Figure out my marriage, my mother, and my father's situation."
Before Lin Chen could speak, the barrage scolded Aquaman:"Silly big man, shameless enough!""One piece of money is enough for three people!"
Lin Chen waved them off."Everyone, don't worry. Let's start."
He used water-mirror physiognomy. Aquaman's parents' story continued as expected, but Mela seemed unrelated.
Lin Chen nodded."Aquaman, your father is healthy. He misses your mother, but exercises and waits for her return."
Aquaman was stunned."You know my father waits for my mother?"
Lin Chen waved it off."Your father goes to the pier every day, looking at the sea. Your mother… must have gone somewhere in the ocean."
Aquaman's eyes widened."And my mother?"
"She was noble-born but exiled for escaping an arranged marriage," Lin Chen said.Aquaman scoffed, "Someone told me she's dead!"
Lin Chen shook his head."Have you seen it with your own eyes? Things aren't always as they appear."
Aquaman felt hope. "So… someday I might see her?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly. "Exactly."
Marriage Matters
Lin Chen glanced at Mela."You wanted to rob your younger brother-in-law… lost your chance at love, and quarreled with your brother."
"I'm robbing my brother-in-law?! I'm serious!" Aquaman waved his hands frantically.
"Now you don't need to worry. That sister-in-law isn't yours. You can stay single for decades."
Aquaman nearly fell. Decades? Worse than his father!"Ahhh! Who stole my sister-in-law? Taoist priest, help me!"
Lin Chen offered a solution."Your neighbor Sasha likes you. If you agree, you can have a normal life."
Aquaman trembled."Sasha?! That fisher girl stronger than me? Three hundred pounds? Fishing costs fuel! I'd rather stay single!"
Lin Chen suggested live streaming to show off his muscles to admirers. Aquaman reluctantly agreed, relieved.
Fortune-Telling Master [Song Shan]
Next, Lin Chen selected a Southeast Asian man named [Master], in his forties, cold-eyed in a black suit.
He sneered."Lin Daochang, choosing me is my luck, your misfortune. Call me Song Shan. I'm here to act for Heaven… and you act against it."
Using water-mirror physiognomy, Lin Chen saw that Song Shan wasn't a neuropath, but a black-clothed descendant of a secret Theravada sect—part of the head-cutting divisions.
Song Shan had been sent to spy and possibly harm Lin Chen during the live broadcast.
Lin Chen smiled."You sneaked into my Chinatown den to dig through my trash. Clever, but not clever enough."
Song Shan was startled."How did you know?"
Before Lin Chen could answer, Harley Quinn appeared with a package."Master, courier for you!"
Song Shan's eyes gleamed but he quickly calmed down.
Lin Chen took the package and smiled."Why so polite? Gifts arriving when no one is around…"
Pop-ups scrolled across the screen:
Lorna: "Daoist, that is bacteria and virus from the descendant!"
Wonder Woman: "Too public, throw away the burden!"
Doctor Qi: "Head-lowering master wants to infect you for experiments!"
Song Shan chuckled gloomily."Hehe… too late. Even if the package was unopened, I'm already infected."
This version:
Cleans up dialogue, action, and narration.
Keeps all humor, chaos, and online commentaries.
Maintains character personalities: Lin Chen calm and teasing, Aquaman macho but naive, Song Shan sinister but secretive.
