Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Jiang Chaosheng returned to the lobby of the Zero Antique Shop and sat down at the counter.

Despite having been up for so long, he didn't feel sleepy.

The trip to Dream Island Resort needs to be reviewed.

Jiang Chaosheng first took out the letter from the evil Qilin that he had obtained from the steward of Dream Island from his pocket.

He was reading:

"Dear Mr. Twilight."

By the time you see this letter, I believe this humble monk has already failed.

Congratulations, you have obtained both the Murder Pocket Watch and the Deceitful and Cunning Left Eye.

The fate of this humble monk is predictable.

You destroyed the two ghostly clones, but my soul suffered a severe blow and I may not be able to survive this ordeal. However, I will try my best to live on.

Now it's time to fulfill the promise.

To evade the Barnacles operation by the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, the Cowherd and the Queen are now hiding in the United States.

The United States has allies of the Taiping Dao (a powerful organization), so the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations cannot act with impunity in the United States.

Jiang Chaosheng murmured:

"Did the male escort go to the United States to avoid the investigators?"

Jiang Chaosheng was silent for a while, then muttered to himself:

"He really understands the manager well; he knows that the manager doesn't like to travel far."

But... I'm different from other owners; I don't care if I travel far away.

If I were the Cowherd, I would also leave the Xia Kingdom.

After all, the authorities and antique shops both targeted him, and the entire Xia Kingdom could not tolerate him.

Jiang Chaosheng rubbed the letter, his gaze deep and unsettling:

"You want me to go find a gigolo, right?"

Actually, I'm more interested in you, you clever little mouse.

Jiang Chaosheng put down the envelope.

With the envelope, the murder watch, these two items used by the evil Qilin, plus two strands of its hair, we can use the "Mirror of Longing" to find the evil Qilin.

Number 3-19, the Mirror of Longing for Home, can be used to find any living being that still exists in the human world.

However, this forbidden item was traded away thirty years ago.

Li Qinglian's notes contain the record that thirty years ago, a detective named Peng Guanhai traded twenty years of his lifespan for the Mirror of Longing for Home.

Peng Guanhai should be sixty years old this year.

"You can borrow it from him."

"But... I'm also very interested in something else."

Jiang Chaosheng took out his notebook and wrote three words on it: "Li Qinglian".

After the Dream Island Resort incident, some mysteries surround Li Qinglian.

Why did he go to his hometown, Baiyu Village?

To contain forbidden objects?

However, there is no record in the journal of Li Qinglian successfully containing forbidden objects in Baiyu Village.

What Jiang Chaosheng was most concerned about was that Li Qinglian said in her dream that she had killed a demon from hell in Baiyu Village.

White Fish Village is just a small village, nothing special, so how could there be hellish demons there?

In any case, it's time to go back to White Fish Village.

"Should we go find the Evil Qilin first, or return to White Fish Village?"

Jiang Chaosheng was a little conflicted.

After all, both of these things are quite important.

Jiang Chaosheng stood up and walked towards the back hall.

Stop at shelf number 3.

He glanced at the bird's nest on shelf number '1' not far away.

There were also two stockings in the bird's nest.

I wonder where Evil Crow is now.

Jiang Chaosheng turned his attention back to shelf number 3.

He picked up a coin.

It was a coin with a gold path pattern on the obverse and a silver path pattern on the reverse.

Number 3-10, the Fate Coin.

When you're unsure about a choice, flipping this coin can help you find the optimal option.

Jiang Chaosheng silently recited:

"The positive side is the evil Qilin, the negative side is White Fish Village."

The next second, the coin was tossed into the air.

The coin falls and spins continuously in the palm of the hand, as if some mysterious power is manifesting on the coin.

Jiang Chao gripped the coin tightly, and when he opened his hand again...

gold.

Finding the Evil Qilin is currently the best solution.

Jiang Chaosheng tucked the coin of destiny into his pocket.

When going out to run errands in the future, it's better to carry more of these functional, small, and taboo items.

After all, if it comes to fighting, he only needs the Grim Reaper's Scythe and the Fiery Flintlock Pistol.

Jiang Chaosheng put the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Pill back on the shelf:

"Go back to your room and rest. You've had a hard day."

Su Daji emerged from the nine-tailed fox demon core and gracefully bowed to Jiang Chaosheng:

"Yes, my husband."

Jiang Chaosheng watched Su Daji go upstairs, then turned and walked towards the door.

Daji suffered considerable losses during the Dream Island incident.

So this time, I won't bring Daji; taking the Old Dragon King along is enough.

It's just about borrowing a forbidden item from an ordinary person; it doesn't need to be too complicated.

I believe that no buyer would refuse the manager.

...

When Jiang Chaosheng walked out of the Zero Antique Shop, it was already nine o'clock.

Tourists have been taking photos and checking in at the entrance of this peaceful street.

The weather is nice, with a light drizzle.

Jiang Chaosheng likes rainy days.

He held a black umbrella, carried a suitcase, and walked towards another street.

Jiang Chaosheng was not wearing a trench coat.

It was already the height of summer, and although he wouldn't feel hot wearing a trench coat, it would still attract attention.

He reached his destination.

Jinmu Coffee Shop.

The boss's name is Meng Xing. We made an agreement that I would show him the photos of Dream Island when I returned.

Jinmu Coffee Shop.

The boss's name is Meng Xing. We made an agreement that I would show him the photos of Dream Island when I returned.

The coffee shop is already open and has some customers.

They ordered croissants, cream cake, and coffee for breakfast.

Jiang Chaosheng looked around the coffee shop but didn't see Meng Xing.

The proprietress, whose name I think is Yunyun, was standing at the bar, waiting for the next customer.

Jiang Chaosheng walked to the bar:

"Is Meng Xing here?"

Yunyun was stunned for a moment:

"He's gone out and will probably be back in half an hour. You can wait a bit while I make you a cup of coffee."

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head, took out a photo album from his pocket, and placed it on the bar:

"I'm in a hurry, give him this."

Yunyun blinked and picked up the photo album:

"What has this guy been buying again, wasting money?"

She didn't remember Jiang Chaosheng, after all, they had never officially met before.

After Yunyun picked up the photo album, her eyes showed disbelief:

"Dream Island?"

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"Your husband asked me to take some photos for him when I returned from Dream Island."

He said this was your design, and he'd never seen it before.

Yunyun's eyes were a little red:

"That bastard, I thought all he knew was fighting and causing trouble."

Yunyun raised her head, looked at Jiang Chaosheng, and solemnly said:

"Thank you. I haven't been back to Dream Island since I left."

The tickets there are so expensive! I'd love to see what it's like now.

Jiang Chaosheng sincerely said:

"You designed it wonderfully."

Yunyun smiled:

"Did you have fun?"

Jiang Chaosheng pursed his lips, remained silent for two seconds, and then a slow smile appeared on his lips:

"I'm very happy."

After saying that, Jiang Chaosheng turned and left.

......

Luohan Bridge Pedestrian Street is a tourist attraction in Jiangchuan City.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down.

No one noticed that a figure was falling from the sky in an unknown alley.

The two stray cats stared at the man in astonishment.

The man casually tossed the half-eaten bread over.

The two stray cats started fighting over it.

When they looked up again, the person had vanished.
