Chapter 138 Back

Walking, walking, I returned to the bookstore. It was already four in the morning, but the door of the bookstore wasn't locked.

If Old Daoist was here, he would have locked the door and turned off the lights long ago, but he's still lying in a hospital bed, so no one is doing it now.

Of course,

The bookstore isn't afraid of thieves.

It's not that thieves haven't come before,

It can only be said that,

Any petty thief who dares to actually target the bookstore,

Their ending,

Might truly be a heart-wrenching regret, more educational than going to a detention center like returning home.

Bai Hu was still lying on the sofa, now she just lies there thinking about life when she has nothing to do. It's as if she's played and made enough trouble in her earlier years, and now, like an old person in their seventies or eighties, she's learned to enjoy the beauty of silence.

Of course,

It's also like she's reformed and returned to her hometown, found an honest man, and started preparing to live a steady life.

Bai Hu suddenly turned her head and glanced out the glass window.

Lawyer An awkwardly touched his nose,

Damn it,

So sensitive!

Pushing open the door, he entered the bookstore.

Lawyer An made a shooting motion:

"Go you!"

Geng Chen drew a beautiful parabola in the air,

Accurately landing on the sofa.

Geng Chen was used to it,

Lawyer An was also used to it,

What a pair of father and son on the surface.

At this moment,

Lawyer An saw Yingying and Xu Qinglang sitting at the bar, playing cards.

"Are you telling fortunes?"

Lawyer An asked.

"Ah, yes."

Yingying got up to make coffee for Lawyer An.

Lawyer An sat down,

And smiled:

"I thought you'd use the *Zhouyi* Eight Trigrams or something to tell fortunes, I didn't expect you to use this."

"Actually, each has its strengths and weaknesses."

"Then tell me, how can these cards be used to make people believe the fortune-telling?"

"As long as the result isn't good, people won't believe it too much."

"Be more specific, and more realistic."

"The cards should be made more exquisite, look high-end, and preferably be inlaid with gold or silver edges, so that they can increase credibility."

Lawyer An shrugged, noncommittal.

"Lawyer An, coffee."

A fresh Super Cup was handed to Lawyer An.

"Thank you, I appreciate it."

"No trouble, no trouble, drink more, I'll make you another one when you're done."

Lawyer An nodded with satisfaction.

"Do you want me to tell you one?"

Xu Qinglang asked, shuffling the cards with his fingertips.

"Go play by yourself, I have something to do."

Lawyer An got up and walked to Bai Hu's side.

Bai Hu looked at him with a very indifferent gaze;

Lawyer An put his face close and whispered:

"Your demon core is still with me."

"You're not thinking of returning it, are you?"

Bai Hu asked.

"How could I, such a useful thing, it feels like Ultraman's transformation stick, you can transform as soon as you take it out."

"So?"

"So I want to ask you the secrets of the Ultra Family…呸呸,

I want to ask you, I always feel that every time I use this, it seems to add some strength, and some changes happen to my body, but they all feel superficial.

I always feel that it's a pity if it keeps going like this, after all, this demon core was nurtured by you so hard for so many years, if it's wasted here with me,

From your point of view, you wouldn't be willing, would you?"

"From my point of view, I wish this demon core would just crack and not let you use it, isn't that the normal way of thinking?"

"Don't talk nonsense with me, what's our relationship?

You teach me, how can this demon core really unleash its true power, and I'll owe you a favor in the future."

"Give me the demon core, put it here, and take a wisp of your soul to come in, to warm it.

The reason why you feel that it's superficial is because only your body has been affected by some demon energy, but in fact, if there is no way to let your soul have a deep contact and connection with the demon energy, you will not be able to fully exert the power of this demon core."

"Give you the demon core?"

"Leave it here for ten days, anyway, the boss gave it to you, it's impossible for me to use this method to take it back and not give it to you."

"But giving you a wisp of my soul feels a little weird."

"Others don't know, but can't you, An Buqi, understand?

Taking a wisp of your soul will not have a big impact on you, and it won't directly make people lose their minds.

At most, it will make you less excited than before, and less intense in terms of sexual desire.

Anyway, we're going back to the Northeast together, and we won't be too far away from you."

"Does it really work?"

"What would I lie to you for?"

Lawyer An hesitated for a moment,

His finger was still placed on the center of his brow,

With a gentle pull,

A wisp of his divided soul was extracted,

Bai Hu opened her mouth,

And directly took Lawyer An's wisp of divided soul into her mouth,

And then said:

"Demon core."

Lawyer An took the demon core from his body again and threw it to Bai Hu.

Looking at the demon core, Bai Hu's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, and soon she swallowed the demon core again.

"They will fuse in my body, it will take ten days, and I can give it to you."

"I still feel a little uncomfortable."

Lawyer An scratched his head.

"I won't use this to make a voodoo doll of you."

Bai Hu flicked her tail,

And continued to lie down,

At the same time, she closed her eyes,

Signaling Lawyer An to stay wherever it was cool.

Lawyer An got up,

And walked back to the bar,

Xu Qinglang was drawing cards while looking at him at this moment.

"Yingying, what time is the flight tomorrow?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning, first drive to Shanghai, then transfer from Shanghai to Jiamusi. After arriving in Jiamusi, rent a car to Hegang, and the subsequent arrangements can only be made in Hegang."

"Okay, then I'll go do some more meditation."

Lawyer An spread his hands helplessly,

He originally thought that he could have a good sleep with the little boy after returning, but he still ended up alone.

"Lawyer An, I've already put the coffee in a bucket for you, so you can drink it on the road."

"Yingying, you're really getting more and more considerate."

Lawyer An didn't really notice what was wrong with using the word "bucket" to describe coffee,

He thought it was a small can,

In fact, Yingying really prepared a big bucket.

After Lawyer An went upstairs,

Xu Qinglang spread out the drawn cards,

His fingers gently stroking his chin.

"Is this for Lawyer An?"

Yingying walked over and asked.

"Yes."

"Is it also for marriage?"

"Fortune."

"Then how's his fortune lately?"

"Pretty good."

"Uh-huh."

Yingying turned around and prepared to take a shower and go up to rest with the boss.

Xu Qinglang was still sitting behind the bar,

Sitting for a long time,

Then he grabbed the cards on the bar and tore them up and threw them into the trash can,

"Heh, a thing to fool people, much worse than gossip."

——————

This chapter has fewer words than before, there's no way, it may be because of the series of trips to various places before, and in the past few days returning to Long's home in Nantong, Long's schedule has had very serious problems.

From starting to write the first update yesterday until writing this chapter, Long hasn't slept yet, his head is numb, he just can't fall asleep, and it's very difficult to write things clearly.

Everyone knows that Long won't deliberately find excuses to delay updates in terms of updates. I'll try to adjust it again, if it really doesn't work, I can only go to the hospital.

I'll just put together an update today, please understand.
