Slay the God: Late Night Bookstore

The sky gradually cleared....

The sound of firecrackers continued to ring throughout the city, and the joyful sound of fireworks gradually turned into a harsh noise.

Even Li Mingxuan was awakened from his sleep. He looked out the window, then looked at Haoran who was sleeping soundly beside him, and then moved his fingers.

The invisible barrier enveloped the entire room, and no noise from outside could be heard at all...

I was afraid that the sound of firecrackers would wake Haoran up, after all, Haoran was quite grumpy when he woke up.

Li Mingxuan got up, dressed carefully, and started to prepare breakfast.

Li Mingxuan opened the door of the study. The air was filled with the smell of fireworks, and blue smoke could be clearly seen.

To be honest, Li Mingxuan didn't like the smell very much; it was a bit pungent for him.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and a new year has begun.

The breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year is of course dumplings. The dumplings keep rolling in the boiling water, and the aroma is fragrant.

Li Mingxuan made these dumplings himself and chopped the fillings himself. They must taste completely different from the frozen dumplings bought outside.

After preparing the dipping sauce, Li Mingxuan brought two bowls of dumplings to the dining table.

At this moment, footsteps were heard slowly coming from upstairs. Haoran walked down the stairs step by step in slippers, still wearing the blue pajamas that Li Mingxuan bought for him.

"It's time for breakfast. Today we're having dumplings."

Li Mingxuan put the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table and greeted Haoran at the same time.

Haoran nodded, and after a simple wash, he went to the dining table to enjoy his breakfast.

The two of them ate in silence, no one spoke, and everything seemed so peaceful.

"I'll go out and pay New Year's greetings later."

Li Mingxuan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"pay a New Year call?"

Haoran, who was eating dumplings, raised his head and asked in confusion, "Who are you wishing a happy new year to?"

"Happy New Year to my friends."

Li Mingxuan said this, and he had already imagined the figures of several people in his mind.

Lin Qiye, Fatty, Cao Yuan, Shen Qingzhu

I didn’t want to have anything to do with Lin Qiye before because I myself wouldn’t live long and I planned to live a few years in peace.

Now that he has completely gotten rid of Shiva's curse, Li Mingxuan's thoughts have also changed a little.

It would be good to get in touch with the future Night Squad and build good relations.

"Go."

Haoran nodded when he heard this, and after finishing his breakfast, he returned to the counter to continue reading his book.

After Li Mingxuan left, Haoran put down the book in his hand, looked at Li Mingxuan's back, and sighed slowly.

Why should we get too involved in other people's established cause and effect?...

Li Mingxuan was walking on the street wrapped in a scarf. The surrounding shops were all closed, and it looked very deserted.

Also!

Who is still open for business during Chinese New Year? Everyone has gone home to pay New Year’s greetings.

Only a few vehicles passed by quickly, and none of them were willing to stay here for too long.

He planned to go and wish Pangpang and the others a happy new year first. After all, he had accepted a Rolex from them before, so wishing them a happy new year first would definitely be his priority.

Although it was forced upon him by Pang Pang, it did not prevent Li Mingxuan from wishing a happy new year to the future Lingbao Tianzun.

He has his own plans...

......

Late Night Bookstore...

Ring ring ring!

As the sound of wind chimes rang, the door of the late-night bookstore was pushed open, and Haoran, who was reading a book, paused.

I saw a young man walking in from outside, followed by a black naughty dog.

"Why are you here? I don't think you are here to wish me a happy new year."

Haoran looked up and saw the person coming. He seemed a little surprised, so he spoke with interest.

The person who came was A Jin, and following behind him was Xiao Hei Lai.

"I'm here to ask you something about my mother."

Yang Jin looked at the boy reading a book at the counter, seemed to have made some decision, and spoke seriously.

"Your mother? Your mother in this life?"

Haoran looked at Yang Jin seriously, thought for a moment, and then asked with some confusion.

"Yes."

Yang Jin nodded.

"I also checked some things about your mother that day. Miracles really can't last much longer. Your mother is about to disappear. But why do you think I can solve this problem?"

Haoran leaned back slightly, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he tapped the table with his fingers, and answered in a playful tone.

"If even you can't solve this, I can't think of anyone who can solve this matter?"

Yang Jin spoke in a deep voice, then paused and continued.

"When Li Mingxuan dealt with the Ghost Face King before, he still had the death energy of Shiva's resentment on him. But when he came to my house yesterday, I could clearly feel that the death energy on him was gone."

"Li Mingxuan did get rid of Shiva's curse, but he did so with the help of that old guy Jin Chan. I just left some tricks to ensure that he would succeed."

Haoran shook his head and said with some regret.

"So there is no other solution?"

Yang Jin asked.

"Yes, yes."

Haoran clasped his fingers together, his brows slightly raised, "But that requires a price, the question is what will you give in exchange?"

"any solution?"

Yang Jin's face lit up when he heard this, and even his breathing quickened, "I'm willing to pay any price!"

"The Book of Life and Death."

Haoran spoke word by word.

"The Book of Life and Death can change your mother's life or death. It is the supreme artifact of the underworld. Naturally, it can also change the curse of Shiva. However, this is also a forced change of established facts, and it requires a certain price."

"What price do I have to pay?"

Yang Jin spoke again.

"I need you to ask Queen Mother Xi for her Heaven-Rescuing Pill. This... is the price you have to pay."

Haoran spoke.

"Heaven-Returning Pill? What do you want this pill for? Besides, the Queen Mother of the West is in Kunlun. This place is too far away from Kunlun. I can't get it for you now."

Yang Jin's expression changed when he heard this, and he spoke.

"I have my own use for the Huitian Pill. I am not familiar with the Queen Mother of the West. To be honest, I don't like her, so I won't ask her for the pill."

Haoran said calmly, "If you promise, I will help your mother."

"I can ask, but I need time."

Yang Jin took a deep breath and spoke.

"Yes, you can obtain the Huitian Pill within three years."

Haoran nodded and agreed to the deal.

"Master, why is the Book of Life and Death in your hands? Shouldn't this thing be in the hands of King Yama?"

Yang Jin frowned, as if he had thought of something, and asked.

"King Yama gave it to me before he entered the cycle of reincarnation. When he returns, I will naturally return it to him. This is his responsibility. I am just managing it on his behalf."

Haoran said calmly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes.
