Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 458 Chapter 468: Encountering a Robbery

"I wonder what kind of accessories you want to buy?"

Looking at the bright and attractive woman in front of them, Zhang Xueying and her best friend couldn't help but hold their breath.

For the first time, they felt ashamed of themselves.

With delicate and exquisite facial features, even if you are very close to each other, you can't see any flaws or pores on each other's faces. On the contrary, under the soft candlelight in the store, it seems to add a beautifying filter to them.

The most unforgettable thing is the other person's voice, which is naturally refined and passes by the ears like a gurgling stream, making people unable to help but be fascinated.

Zhang Xueying felt her heart beating inexplicably, and for a moment she actually had the urge to fall in love with the other person.

However, at this moment, the man who was talking to the woman came up, and his noisy voice directly destroyed the beautiful atmosphere.

"Welcome, two junior sisters. This is your first time at Fu Sheng Xiao Ji, right? Let me introduce you."

The man shook his hair in front of Zhang Xueying, obviously trying to lower his voice to make it more attractive, but the result was exactly the opposite.

The most important thing is that he seemed unaware that his sudden appearance shattered the beautiful picture that Zhang Xueying and the others had just seen in their minds.

"Please come this way!" Cheng Hao straightened his clothes and made a gesture that he thought was very graceful.

Huang Shifu smiled and sighed when he saw this, nodded to Zhang Xueying and the other person, then left their sight and went to entertain other customers who came into the store.

Cheng Hao brought Zhang Xueying to a display cabinet. On the left side was an area filled with neatly arranged jade pendants of various sizes.

The area on the right is also about ornaments, but there are more strange-looking things, such as crescent moons carved from bones and wooden sword ornaments carved from unknown woods.

Cheng Hao put his hands on the counter and said, "I wonder what kind of accessories my junior sister prefers to wear?"

After saying this, Cheng Hao raised his head and found that Zhang Xueying and the other person were still looking at Huang Shifu.

This inevitably dealt another blow to his business career.

But he was not angry, instead he smiled and explained: "She is the acting store manager of Fu Sheng Xiao Ji, and she is also a secular child like you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xueying turned her head and looked at Cheng Hao: "You just called me a junior, are you also students of Los Angeles University?"

Cheng Hao nodded without comment.

"Shifu and I are both sophomores at the University of Los Angeles. We come here to work part-time after class."

Zhang Xueying blinked in shock: "Can a secular prince also be short of money?"

This was not her Versailles statement, but rather something she had personally experienced. Right after she became a prince, people from various organizations and forces came to her, hoping that she could join their organizations, and the conditions they offered were extremely generous.

There were even some unknown tycoons who directly transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars to her card without expecting any immediate return, calling it investment.

However, Zhang Xueying finally chose the official school. After becoming an official heir, she was immediately transferred from her original school to Los Angeles University.

Of course, after she thought about it for a few days, she finally did not return the hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment to the tycoon who invested in her.

Therefore, in Zhang Xueying's first impression, the prince should not be short of money.

Even if they join the official system, ordinary people who study at the University of Los Angeles receive a considerable subsidy every month, so they will never have to worry about not having enough money to go out to work.

Although there are more and more secular sons nowadays, they are still an extremely rare group across the country.

"Of course a secular man would be short of money."

However, Cheng Hao gave Zhang Xueying a different answer.

"Of course, this depends on the individual. Some people want to pursue more. Once you go to the crossing area and meet the merchants walking between the two worlds, a door to a new world will open for you."

"Or... you can also experience it here in advance."

Zhang Xueying was a little surprised and asked, "Do you sell worldly items here?"

Cheng Hao shrugged with a smile and snapped his fingers.

"Did you see those people when you came into the store? The ones who just looked but didn't buy anything."

Zhang Xueying nodded when she heard this.

Cheng Hao continued, "The things in the display cases they were looking at were all brought out from the secular world by the owner of Fu Sheng Xiao Ji."

Zhang Xueying looked at a display case that Cheng Hao was pointing at. Inside was an ordinary-looking ancient sword with a blunt edge. However, the price inside the display case was jaw-dropping.

Name: Qingwu Sword
Introduction: The sword worn by the famous general Xu Qing in all dynasties contains a faint spirituality. The sword is three feet and three inches long, dark green all over, with frost patterns visible on the sword spine, and a beast head swallowing the blade on the sword guard, which can match the sword owner.

Quality: Rare

Ability: Breaking the Edge, Qinglan Protecting the Master

Suggested retail price: 1378.99 million.

"..."

The moment she saw the price, Zhang Xueying felt as if her brain was struck by lightning, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

Her baby-faced best friend almost pressed her entire face against the display case that held the Qingwu Sword, and looked around in disbelief.

Yes, yes, that’s the taste!
This is the price that should be charged for antiques.

Zhang Xueying tried hard to look away, and then glanced at a display case next to the Qingwu Sword.

Name: Soul-Falling Bell
Introduction: This bell was contaminated with evil spirits from the underworld and refined by ghosts. It is nine inches and nine points high, dark black all over, with a picture of hundreds of ghosts parading at night etched on the surface. It can absorb souls when rung. There is no sound when struck lightly, but a loud knock sounds like ghosts crying.

Quality: Rare

Ability: Soul-sweeping

Suggested retail price: 2833 million

Zhang Xueying quickly covered her eyes and refocused her gaze.

Can these things be seen by her now?
No wonder the clerk in front of him said that the prince was short of money. If he bought these things, how could he not be short of money?

It's just too scarce.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueying began to worry whether she had enough money to buy accessories that could block out her worldly aura.

This store is recommended by a teacher at Los Angeles University, so it is undoubtedly officially recognized and absolutely legitimate.

But it was too formal, so formal that she was almost tempted to buy pirated copies.

But now that I'm already in the store, I have to take a look.

Also under Cheng Hao's smiling gaze, Zhang Xueying walked to the counter with some trepidation.

Noticing Cheng Hao's smile, she glared at him with some dissatisfaction.

After scanning the prices, Zhang Xueying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I want that senior to serve me."

"..."

Cheng Hao's expression froze, and he called Huang Shifu over with some resentment.

So, under Zhang Xueying's expectant gaze, Huang Shifu walked gracefully in front of her with a gentle smile on his face, which made Zhang Xueying's eyes full of pink bubbles again.

Huang Shifu didn't quite understand what this schoolgirl was thinking, so he started directly introducing the various antique ornaments in the display cabinet.

"Senior sister, why is your voice so beautiful!" After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Xueying asked with bright eyes.

Huang Shifu paused holding the ornament in her hand when she heard this, and smiled and shook her head, as if she was saying that this was something that was not important to her.

"I actually couldn't speak before. It was only after I became a secular child that my muteness was cured by some chance."

"Can't speak?"

Zhang Xueying was stunned and wanted to continue asking questions out of curiosity, but was interrupted by Huang Shifu who raised his hand.

"What do you think of this one, junior?"

Huang Shifu picked up a small wooden sign and placed it in front of Zhang Xueying. The sign was engraved with ancient Chinese characters and tied with a red string. It looked very ancient. Zhang Xueying then looked at the price of the sign.

The suggested retail price is RMB 30.

Seeing the price, Zhang Xueying was a little troubled.

The chaebol invested a total of 500,000 in her, but just the wooden sign that blocked out the worldly atmosphere cost 300,000.

Being a secular prince is really short of money!
Zhang Xueying felt a little painful and her eyes drifted towards other items in the display case.

Huang Shifu suddenly smiled and said, "You are a student of Los Angeles University, so you can enjoy a 50% discount. In fact, you only need to pay 150,000."

Hearing this number, Zhang Xueying felt relieved.

Just now, she looked around and found that she seemed to really like this wooden sign, because the ancient inscription on the wooden sign was the word "snow".

"If it's 150,000, it's not unacceptable!" Zhang Xueying thought about it and finally decided to buy the wooden sign.

As soon as she paid the money, Zhang Xueying put on the wooden sign.

She didn't know if it was due to psychological reasons, but the strange feeling of being watched when she was walking on the small street before disappeared.

“Is it really useful?!”

Zhang Xueying felt a lot more relaxed and returned to the way she was before she became a prince.

She looked at Huang Shifu and was about to say something when suddenly the door of Fusheng Xiaoji was roughly pushed open and a group of people who looked obviously not to be trifled with walked in.

Seeing this, Cheng Hao, who was standing next to him, walked up and blocked the leading man.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this guest here to buy something?"

The big man glanced at Cheng Hao with anger in his eyes: "I spent three million to buy a worldly item in your store some time ago, but when I took it back, it was not at all like what you said."

There were five other people walking with him, and after they entered the store, the already limited store became even more crowded.

Some of them even touched the display cases next to them with their bodies intentionally or unintentionally.

When Cheng Hao saw this scene, he immediately frowned and said, "There are surveillance cameras in the store. You'd better be honest and tell us what's wrong. If I find anything stolen in the store, I will call the police immediately."

"Call the police?"

A flash of red light flashed in the leading man's eyes, but he quickly hid it again.

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

As he spoke, he took out two iron balls from his arms.

The iron balls are of different sizes, one large and one small, with holes on the surface, somewhat similar to the hidden weapons of ancient times.

"I used this cluster bullet once, but it didn't fire any hidden weapons. I almost died at the hands of my opponent. How are you going to settle this account?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao looked the big man up and down, and said in a steady voice: "Brother is also a secular man, you should know that there are some things that you need to practice in advance, instead of coming to our store to make trouble."

As he spoke, Cheng Hao glanced at Huang Shifu, and when the other party nodded, he continued, "Besides, before you question our store, you should first show us the invoice we issued to you after you purchased from us. Otherwise, how would we know whether the cluster bomb in your hand was sold from our store."

"Do you want to default on your debt?"

The murderous intent in the big man's eyes could no longer be hidden after hearing this. He walked forward slowly, and his muscles and bones seemed to be changing slightly.

Huang Shifu felt something was wrong, so he walked up to Cheng Hao and stared at the big man with a vigilant look.

"Dear customer, you can also tell me the specific date and time when you bought the cluster bomb in my store."

Cheng Hao whispered beside Huang Shifu, "Have you ever sold cluster bombs?"

"No!" Huang Shifu said with certainty: "I know everything the store manager brought back from the secular world. There is no hidden weapon called cluster bombs."

Cheng Hao was stunned, and his eyes gradually became gloomy as he looked at the big man.

He put his hands behind his back and quickly made a call on his cell phone.

The big man suddenly laughed at this moment. He noticed Cheng Hao's little trick. Faced with the increasingly serious secularization, he didn't intend to pretend anymore and directly threw the cluster bullet in his hand into the air.

With the help of special techniques, the two iron balls rotated up into the air with themselves as the center, and then collided violently with each other.

In an instant, countless flying needles flew out from the tiny holes on the surface of the mother bullet, and these flying needles flew indiscriminately to various places in the store.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Countless needles flew out at the same time. Fortunately, Huang Shifu and Cheng Hao were prepared. Although the flying needles were extremely fast, the two of them still hid behind the counter in advance.

Otherwise, with such a close distance between them, they would probably be killed on the spot by countless flying needles piercing their bodies.

However, other customers in the store were not so lucky. Although they were not at the front, they were still pierced by the flying needles and fell to the ground in pain.

As for Zhang Xueying and the other girl, they were just lucky. They were right behind a row of display racks, so all the flying needles were blocked.

However, the two were frightened by the scene before them and squatted on the ground, hugging each other.

None of them had expected that they would encounter a robber the first time they came to Xiaosu Street.

In mid-air, the mother missile fired flying needles, and the bullets emitted a large amount of smoke, which instantly filled the entire Fu Sheng Xiaoji.

"Do it!"

The leading man roared, and several of his followers behind him immediately understood and took out hammers from their bodies and smashed them at the nearest counter.

This time they came just to rob Fu Sheng Xiao Ji.

Most of them are worldly people who have been seriously secularized. You can't tell it on the surface because they have used disguise techniques. In fact, the real face of each of them is already extremely old.

The reason why he came to rob Fu Sheng Xiao Ji was that he planned to make a big one in the end.

Now that the relationship has been arranged, all you need to do is snatch all the things in Fu Sheng Xiao Ji to exchange for Shou Xiang, and thus have the opportunity to increase your lifespan.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

The glass on the display cabinets was smashed one by one, and the big man and others couldn't wait to reach in and take out everything inside.

But at this moment, Cheng Hao ran out quickly with a long stick in his hand.

He did not die many times in the secular world and was not affected by worldly factors. He was just an ordinary person in this world.

But when the store that his brother had worked so hard to run was robbed, he could not bear it no matter what, so he picked up a long stick and hit the nearest person on the head.

However, people who are influenced by the secular world and have secular physical abilities have extremely fast reaction speeds, almost far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The moment the long stick fell, he reached out and grabbed it. The huge force caused the long stick to stop in mid-air and could no longer fall.

"I think you want to die!"

The secular boy, who was seriously influenced by the secular world, already had a distorted mentality. After being attacked, he could no longer control his emotions. He picked up the hammer used to smash the display cabinet with his other hand and hit Cheng Hao's head with it.

Cheng Hao opened his eyes wide, looking at the hammer that was getting closer and closer to him, and felt that the world seemed to have slowed down extremely at this moment.

He recalled the bride in his mortal world. Although she would suck his blood at any time, she would appear to save him every time he was in danger. This was the reason why he had a low death rate in the mortal world.

Unfortunately, this is the real world, and she will not appear again to save me.

Cheng Hao's eyes dimmed, and he blamed himself for not saying what was in his mind to the other party.

"Even if you are a zombie, I still want to be with you forever!"

Cheng Hao slowly closed his eyes, ready to wait for his death.

However, at this moment, a ring suddenly rang in his ears.

Cheng Hao opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

In the hazy smoke emitted by the cluster bomb, a figure leisurely pushed open the door.
