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

"Hmph! You're utterly indecent! Shameless!"

The old man slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his beard trembling.

A disdainful smile:

"You're so old, how dare you get involved with that young girl Yuxi?"

Have you no shame?

The old man, his face flushed, roared angrily:

"My love for Yuxi is true love!"

"True love?"

Pressing relentlessly, every word piercing the heart:

"Tell me, what do you love about her?"

If you can't control your old thing, just say you can't control it.

"Those little things in your crotch, you're trying to make it sound like true love."

"I...I..."

The old man's face turned purplish-red. After racking his brains for a long time, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table:

"I love her eyes!"

Upon hearing this, he stopped attacking and muttered to himself:

"Those eyes...are truly beautiful."

The young man then realized—everyone in the room was a fucking goddess's lover!

His eyes twitched, and it felt like a bomb had been stuffed into his chest.

"You...you...fuck!"

He suddenly grabbed a plate from the table and smashed it at the old man.

The old man was hit in the face, and he cursed as he raised his cane to strike back.

Plates, wine glasses, chopsticks, vinegar bottles... in an instant, the private room turned into a battlefield.

After an unknown amount of time, the place was in complete disarray.

Everyone was exhausted from fighting and slumped in their chairs, panting heavily.

He called out towards the door:

"Waiter, come and clean this up."

The door was pushed open, and the waiter walked in with his head down, carefully cleaning up the debris.

He glanced at the crowd:

"Maybe more people will come soon. If they come again, there won't even be anything left to smash."

The young man's eyes were red-rimmed, and he stared intently at everyone present like an enraged calf.

The others were the same; they looked at each other as if they were their father's killers.

He spoke softly:

"Look at you! You're fighting over mates with wild animals."

The young man was taken aback.

Yeah, why is it so weird?

From their attire to their demeanor, everyone present was either wealthy or of high status—including himself.

How could he fight like this over a woman he'd only met a few times?

He took a silver needle out of his pocket and gently inserted it into the web between his thumb and forefinger.

The anger dissipated like a punctured balloon, and reason regained its advantage.

He shook his head:

Something's not right.

Why did Chen Yuxi invite us here?

What similarities exist between us?

road:

"From what I can see, the similarity is that they are all Chen Yuxi's lovers."

A middle-aged man clutched his head in anguish:

Why?

Isn't one of me enough for her?

I'm very rich, I'm willing to give her all my money, I... I'm even willing to get a divorce!

frown:

"You think you're the only one with money?"

My mother owns eight seaside villas in Liancheng!

Don't mistake your little bit of money for capital.

The young man quickly grasped the key information:

"I also have some family property; I own an acupuncture research institute in Yancheng."

In other words, another similarity between us is... being rich?

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head:

"That's not what Yuxi wants. If she wants money, any of us can give it to her."

She had absolutely no reason to bring us together; doesn't that just give us away?

So what she wanted was something else.

She suddenly looked at the young man:

"Did you just prick your hand between your thumb and forefinger with a needle?"

The young man was taken aback, and awkwardly pushed the silver needle in his sleeve further in:

"Yes, I did say I do acupuncture research."

Squinting:

"To be honest, is that silver needle of yours a forbidden object?"

The young man trembled and stared at her in disbelief.

When he was a teenager, he stumbled into an antique shop and made a deal with the shopkeeper, who was wearing a long gown.

This is his deepest secret in his life, and also his secret weapon for dominating the city. How did this woman find out?

Then he noticed that everyone's faces showed shock and panic.

Could it be... that these people all have forbidden possessions?

He also noticed something was wrong, and his scalp immediately tingled:

"Damn! Something's wrong, let's go!"

───────────────

The next private room.

Chen Yuxi held her phone and dialed numbers one after another.

All devices are switched off.

She is looking for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan had promised her.

If she could lure those people on the list to the South China Sea, she would be granted immortality and the method to perfectly control the Eye of Medusa.

Except for the Northeastern female shaman at the foot of Changbai Mountain, everyone else was led there on time.

In any case, her task completion rate was quite high, right?

The door was pushed open.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Yuxi exclaimed in surprise.

But it wasn't the Empress who came; instead, it was an old Taoist priest in hemp clothing.

The Cowherd sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said softly:

"The Empress is not coming."

Chen Yuxi swallowed hard:

"So...you've come to save me?"

She is in very bad condition right now.

I've been coughing up blood frequently lately, but when I went to the hospital for a checkup, they found nothing wrong.

She knew that the disease could not be detected.

She sacrificed fifty years of her life for these eyes.

Her life is coming to an end.

The Cowherd nodded:

"I have come to give this body eternal life."

And...it will give you complete control over these eyes.

Chen Yuxi became excited and quickly squatted down in front of the cowherd, looking up at him:

"Please, please help me, old sage!"

A smile crept onto the Cowherd's lips:

"Okay. I'll help you right away."

He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood at Chen Yuxi.

Strangely, the blood mist spontaneously reformed in the air, outlining a scarlet talisman that was faintly imprinted on Chen Yuxi's forehead.

Her eyes began to glow blue; they were beautiful, almost unreal.

Chen Yuxi suddenly felt like her head was about to explode—

Something was forcibly squeezing into her mind!

She grabbed her hair and screamed in agony:

"Something's not right... Old Immortal, something's not right!"

The Cowherd's face was deathly pale. He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Chen Yuxi, actually, we've met many times before."

Chen Yuxi struggled to lift her eyes, which were glowing green:

"Wh...what?"

The Cowherd said:

"You're so stingy; you always choose small hospitals in China for plastic surgery."

"You never thought that those cosmetic surgery clinics, despite having so many lawsuits, could still maintain such high standards of service?"

Chen Yuxi's eyes widened suddenly.

The cowherd's face began to distort and change.

Those faces, each one was incredibly familiar to her; they were all her surgeons!

The face changes, but the mouth always speaks:

"It's hard to find a woman whose destiny is compatible with yours, but you happen to fit the bill."

All those spells I've cast on you over the years, all for this day.

Finally, the cowherd's face froze into a face she would never forget for the rest of her life—

The plastic surgeon who "deformed" her eyes and completely disfigured her!

"you--!!!"

Chen Yuxi pointed at him in disbelief, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

The Cowherd said softly:

"In that antique shop, there are only two forbidden items that can fulfill my plan."

One of them is Hela's eyes.

Hela controls the "death of the straw," which is natural death.

Since the buyer died of natural causes, Zero Antique Shop will not impose any karmic curse on anyone involved in the murder.

Unfortunately, a junior sheriff took the eye beforehand.

Chen Yuxi couldn't understand what he was saying; she only felt her head getting heavier and heavier, her consciousness like the receding tide.

The Cowherd continued:

"Medusa...is not bad either."

Medusa was cursed by Athena; anyone who looks into Medusa's eyes, or falls in love with Medusa, will instantly turn to stone.

To be petrified by love is a form of divine punishment.

The majority of the retribution will fall on Athena, so the karmic curse I bear will be much smaller.

He turned to look at Chen Yuxi.

Those deep blue eyes grew more and more beautiful, like the bottom of an enchanting lake, captivating at first glance.

The cowherd stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed respectfully to the unconscious Chen Yuxi:

"I've seen the goddess of abhorrence—Medusa!"

Everything that is forbidden possesses its own unique power.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Pill, once ingested, grants the user all the magic of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Dragon Balls grant the holder the power to roam freely across the world.

These powers are entirely different from the demonic souls and spirits that reside in forbidden objects.

Number 1-01, Cowherd.

It can awaken forbidden things and revive them.
