Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Wrath of the Sea God!

“I say, little girl, is your boss’s part-time job as a priest or a monk?”

On the balcony, the woman took out a thin cigarette and smoked silently. She would not smoke under the surveillance at home and would purposely maintain her image of a good wife and virtuous wife.

However, she did not know why, but at that moment, her mind was in a mess. She wanted to use the cigarette to calm herself down.

“You got it wrong. Opening a bookstore is a part-time job,” Bai Yingying replied.

“Oh, how interesting.”

The woman reached out to tidy up Bai Yingying’s hair and said gently,

“Has he brainwashed you? Do you admire him that much?”

Bai Yingying looked at the woman as if she was retarded.

The woman shook her head. She didn’t believe it, but it was just as she’d said. Since it was someone recommended by Wang Ke, then she was willing to spend a few million to try and get it done.

The old man curled up at the door of the room. He looked at his wife and the whiteingale and waved.

“Come in, come in quickly. They will come, they really will!”

The woman ignored her husband and continued to smoke.

Bai Yingying ignored him. She was worried about her boss.

The boss had just opened Unparalleled in Salt City, and his body was in a very bad condition. In other words, the cooldown time for skills had not passed yet, so the danger factor would naturally increase.

Bang!

The living room door downstairs was pushed open.

Zhou Ze, who was drenched in cold sweat, rolled out from inside. His entire body was wet, as if he was drenched in cold sweat.

“Hu Hu… Hu…”

Zhou Ze, who was lying on the ground, breathed heavily as if the air was very precious to him.

“Boss!”

Bai Yingying shouted anxiously from the balcony.

Zhou Ze staggered to his feet and picked up the walking stick that had fallen beside him. He waved at it, signaling for Bai Yingying to not come down. Then, he walked into the living room again.

Ten minutes later…

Zhou Ze rolled out again. This time, Zhou Ze lay there for a full five minutes before he slowly got up. He stood up with the help of his walking stick again, and his body seemed to be swaying.

“Boss…”

Bai Yingying shouted again.

“Don’t come down. Protect them well. I don’t believe that a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake!”

Zhou Ze continued walking inside.

The woman blew out a smoke ring and said, “What a realistic act.”

Obviously, she felt that Zhou Ze was putting on an act, just like those Taoist priests who did the ritual. It was just to please the audience and gain benefits.

“Er…”

The woman was speechless.

This was because Bai Yingying’s hand was strangling her neck.

Her feet were already off the ground. The high-schooler girl only used one hand to easily lift herself up.

“This isn’t acting.”

Whiteingale said solemnly,

“If something really happens to Boss, don’t worry, I’ll definitely blame you.”

“He… he himself… for… for money…” The woman struggled to refute.

“You’re a woman. Don’t you know the truth?” Bai Yingying asked.

“Wh… at…”

“Then don’t reason with women.”

…

Zhou Ze walked into the living room again. At that moment, the living room was basically filled with water. It was filled with liquid, but the twenty over people were still spitting water.

It was truly endless, truly a vast sea.

Meanwhile, the sea snake that had its head blown off by Zhou Ze had now turned into a water python. Its thick, barrel-like body was swimming around inside, giving off a majestic pressure.

However, upon closer inspection, this giant python’s body was also blurry with flesh and blood. Many parts of its body were not even complete with scales. Clearly, it had suffered serious injuries from the repeated clashes with Zhou Ze.

“Hiss hiss hiss…”

The water python charged over again.

Zhou Ze raised his head, gritted his teeth, and reached out with both hands. The nails on his fingertips were stained with blood once again, and it was obvious that he was at his limit again.

His body had just been depleted in Yan City recently, so he was indeed a little weak now.

If he was at his peak, Zhou Ze would not be in such a sorry state.

This was only a sea snake. Even if it was called the Sea God, it was still a snake. If it was a one-on-one battle, he would not be afraid.

Zhou Ze was actually worried that if the Sea God really existed in this world, would his choice this time anger the other party?

Of course, the other party did not give him a choice.

Zhou Ze wanted to admit defeat and retreat. If he could, he would not fight. If he could, he would not touch. However, the other party’s attitude was too rough and did not give him any way out.

Boss Zhou loved money and results, but he loved life more.

“Hiss…”

The water python’s body slammed into Zhou Ze’s body again. Zhou Ze fell to the ground, his face pale. However, Zhou Ze’s nails pierced into the water python’s body, grabbing a red halo and crushing it instantly!

Next, Zhou Ze and Water Python lay on the ground, staring at each other.

The water python tried to coil itself up several times but failed. Zhou Ze also wanted to stand up but could not.

The man and snake stared at each other. They were going to fight it out.

“Aren’t you tired?” Zhou Ze asked.

The water python did not respond and only stared at Zhou Ze.

“Did the Sea God really ask you to come?” Zhou Ze continued to ask.

The water python still did not respond.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath. He could really talk to people, but with a beast…

How do we negotiate?

As if it had understood Zhou Ze’s thoughts, the water python suddenly raised its head and stared at Zhou Ze angrily.

Ha,

Just like that monkey.

Could he directly read a person’s mind?

Buzz!

The water python began to tremble. For a moment, its body began to disintegrate, but from its shattered body, small thumb-sized snakes began to emerge.

These densely packed things began to surge towards Zhou Ze!

“Get lost!”

Zhou Ze supported himself with both hands on the ground and forced himself to raise his head. His ten fingernails pierced into the ground, and wisps of black gas were squeezed out and protected him with himself as a circle. All the small snakes that touched the black gas were annihilated.

The stalemate between the man and snake seemed to have to continue. Both parties were already at the end of their rope, but they still held on.

At that moment, the twenty or so people who had been ‘tap’ shut their mouths and slowly stood up.

They did not walk toward Zhou Ze, nor did they walk toward the water python. Instead, they lined up and walked toward the staircase like students who had just finished school.

They…

He was going up!

Zhou Ze was not sure if it was because his arrival had triggered them or if it was because he had arrived at the right time.

“Hiss hiss hiss…”

A small snake that was not afraid of death actually passed through Zhou Ze’s black gas. Its body compressed, then collapsed, and it went straight for Zhou Ze’s ear.

Zhou Ze felt something slippery near his ear. The thing was still trying its best to get in.

However, there were even more small snakes around him. Zhou Ze did not dare to pull his hand out from the floor, or he would experience the feeling of being in a “snake den”. It was said that the cruel kings of ancient times liked to play this game of throwing the tortured into a snake den.

However, the nausea coming from the other side of his ear was too clear. If he did not stop it, who knew where the thing would go.

There was a tradition of a temple fair in Tong City. Zhou Ze remembered that when he was young, the orphanage also organized everyone to attend a temple fair. In the picture, there was a shed that cost two dollars a ticket. A woman was lying on the bed covered by a mosquito net. There were many little snakes around the woman.

The woman knew how to perform for the ticket buyer. She would squeeze a small snake into her nostrils, and the snake would slowly crawl out of her mouth.

As a bystander, he was very surprised, but Zhou Ze did not want to experience it himself.

However, Zhou Ze had no other choice. He did not bring the Yin-Yang booklet with him because it would shake and disturb people who were about to die.

Right,

He still had a bronze ring, but he did not know what use it had. He did have the ring with him, but if he wore it and ended up killing himself, then he would have nowhere to cry.

Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths.

The thing in his ear kept moving, and it was incredibly itchy.

Zhou Ze could only subconsciously lean against his face and squeeze his ears with his shoulders and arms, hoping to get that thing out.

At that moment, Zhou Ze suddenly remembered that he had two ghost identification cards in his left pocket.

I’ll bet!

Pulling his hands out from the floor, Zhou Ze quickly took out a badges certificate. Before the snakes around him swarmed over, Zhou Ze used his bloody nails to rub hard on the badges. Green smoke kept rising from the badges, and the badges started to crack. It was obvious that they were useless.

However, the green smoke was still rising like a match being lit.

Pa!

Zhou Ze threw the certificate out of the room.

The large number of small snakes instantly abandoned Zhou Ze and pounced towards the evidence outside.

It was as if the water python had split into too many parts and was too small, causing each individual’s intelligence to be equalized. Zhou Ze felt like he was playing with a dog on a frisbee.

The family that had been running up the stairs also rushed down the stairs like they had lost their minds. They ran into the group of snakes outside the living room. Obviously, the fragrance that came from the burning of the evidence was extremely attractive to Specters!

At that moment, Zhou Ze did not relax or stop to take a breather. He reached out and grabbed the portrait, and without hesitation, he used his nails to cut it open.

Si!

There was a crisp sound.

The painting cracked, and the small snakes inside and outside the room started to evaporate. The family slowly melted.

Pa!

A gust of cold wind blew, and the living room door was closed.

Finally…

Everything returned to normal.

“Hu Hu… Hu…”

Zhou Ze knelt on the ground.

So tired.

She was exhausted.

However, from the looks of it, it seemed like the Sea God was nothing special.

For a moment, Boss Zhou was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He felt extremely good about himself.

Pa!

Pa!

It seemed like there was wind outside.

The wind continued to blow against the door frame.

At first, Zhou Ze did not think much of it, but slowly, he realized that something was wrong. The floor was still shaking and tilting.

Zhou Ze used his last bit of strength to prop himself up from the wall and staggered to the door.

Reaching out, he pushed open the living room door.

Outside, to his surprise…

An ocean!
