Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: Anorexic Alliance
After showering, Zhou Ze was carried out by Bai Yingying in a white shirt and casual pants. He was placed on the second floor’s cooling mat. When Bai Yingying came down, Xu Qinglang came over and asked, “What’s going on?”
Sneaky.
This feeling was similar to the fear of running an underground casino. It was as if the police would rush in at any moment to grab the money.
Bai Yingying wanted to say something but stopped. Her face was red.
Xu Qinglang frowned.
‘You’re a zombie, why are you blushing?’
“What exactly is it?” Xu Qinglang asked. He desperately wanted to know the answer.
“Er…” Bai Yingying.
“Tell me, is it stone time yet?” Xu Qinglang asked anxiously.
“This…” Bai Yingying.
“Could it be that there’s a slit below him?”
“Er…” Bai Yingying.
“Or maybe his is even smaller than yours?”
“What…”
“Hey, stop beating around the bush. Do you want to change the latest card?”
“The boss said that he would give me a new mainframe after we move,” Bai Yingying said awkwardly.
“You’ve been bribed?” Xu Qinglang was speechless.
“Yes.” Bai Yingying was very honest.
“No, that’s not right. He only has about 10,000 or so. He needs to renovate his house. I’ll pay the rent first. He doesn’t have that much money.”
“The boss asked me for two jade hairpins and pawned them for 500,000 yuan. He said he would return me 750,000 yuan in half a year.”
“He tricked you into becoming a Dark Artifact?” Xu Qinglang looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. “Are you an idiot? Those are your funerary items.”
“The boss said he would return it to me,” Bai Yingying mumbled.
“You believe everything he says? You believe him when he says he’s your zombie ancestor?”
“Where’s the letter?” Bai Yingying whispered.
Because she really did feel the presence of a zombie from the boss.
“You’re hopeless, silly girl.” Xu Qinglang looked disappointed. “By the way, let me ask you something. Do you have any other sisters?”
“What?”
“I also want to find a female zombie to be my maid. It’s a profitable business.”
“Oh.”
Bai Yingying stood up straight.
A cold aura suddenly emanated from his body.
The silly girl instantly became the ice goddess.
Xu Qinglang, who was still wallowing in self-pity, suddenly trembled.
The familiar feeling of fear from the first time they met came again. Almost subconsciously, Xu Qinglang became a little quail again.
“Who do you think we should hire as a maid?” the woman asked.
“No, I said I’ll buy a new graphics card for you to change into in the afternoon. That way, you’ll be able to draw the highest quality when you eat chicken.”
…
“Here, this is Goddess Qing Yi’s information.”
Tang Shi passed a tablet to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze’s hair was still wet. He leaned against the wall and sat on the mat. He looked like a decadent handsome boy who had just come out from a basketball shower in university.
Xu Le had all sorts of shortcomings and all kinds of useless snacks.
But you can’t deny that Xu Le is indeed good-looking.
Otherwise, his parents would not have chosen him as their son-in-law.
“Parenting?” Zhou Ze glanced at the Goddess in green’s information.
Goddess Qing Yi was a small local temple in Tong City. She did not exist in the historical records, nor did she have a place in the mainstream mythology system. Even in Tong City, she was not a household name.
Her popularity was not widespread. Some of her stories were fabricated by later generations.
Just like many of the attractions in Yangzhou’s Shimoku Lake were related to Jiangnan, it was as if Emperor Ganlong did nothing else when he came down to Jiangnan. He was only busy creating stories in Shimoku Lake to name these attractions.
The Azure Clothed Goddess’ story was also a bit nonsensical. There was a town called Fourth Lu in Tong City, and it was rumored that Lü Dongbin had come here four times to obtain his name. This Azure Clothed Goddess was a widow that Lü Dongbin had met when he came to Tong City.
The widow had no children, so she refused to marry again. She kept her family’s peace for her deceased husband, and she also liked children. She was kind-hearted, so she took in many orphans, which was equivalent to an orphanage in ancient times. After Lü Dongbin discovered her, he gave her a green robe as encouragement.
After she died, the locals erected a temple for her to commemorate her merit. It was called Goddess Qing Yi.
Most of the people who came to this temple to offer incense were praying for their children to continue their family line. It was similar to the effect of child-giving Guan Yin.
However, at the bottom, it was mentioned that the old city district had been renovated, and Goddess Qing Yi’s temple had been pushed out.
As for rebuilding, it was very difficult. Firstly, she was not as famous as her mother, and secondly, it was very difficult to build a new temple. The developers would not increase the difficulty of their work. Although there were some local elders who opposed it, the temple was eventually pushed away.
There was a picture from several years ago in the document. The blue-clothed empress’s temple in the picture had already been destroyed. Even the head of the statue had fallen off, leaving only a headless statue standing there.
This suited the headless woman.
“The so-called Temple God is a soul embryo created from faith and incense. It’s like the faceless woman who came to test you. She is the manifestation of the resentment of the living on the road to hell,” Tang Shi explained.
“Did she come out to kill to vent her anger because she knew that her temple was about to be destroyed?” Zhou Ze asked.
“Temple gods have their own rules, even if they go crazy in the end, they will not act recklessly.”
“I know that. I’ve checked.” Xu Qinglang walked up the stairs. “The girl whose head was cut off by the hanging fan once had three abortions at the hospital. The empress in green purposely used her own code of conduct to carry out the final punishment.”
“Punishment?” Zhou Ze asked. “Who gave her the right to do that?”
Xu Qinglang shrugged. “Everyone has different perspectives, so naturally, their standpoints are different. In her eyes, a child is a life. An abortion for no reason and an irresponsible abortion is a blasphemy against life.”
“So, if I didn’t bump into her coincidentally, she would have continued to look for people like that to kill them by accident?” Zhou Ze asked.
“That should be the case.” Tang Shi nodded. “She’s already crazy and has a mental illness. Anyone would go crazy when they reach the end of their road, even if she’s a temple god.”
“I’ve always been curious about one thing. Why did she only let the girl die? Ol ‘Zhou, do you remember the girl’s boyfriend from the noodle shop? Why is he fine?
Could it be that Empress Qing Yi also favored men over women? ”
“So, the most pitiful one is the student boyfriend.”
Zhou Ze gave an answer.
Xu Qinglang was stunned.
A look of realization appeared on his face as he said,
“When will my mind be as good as yours?”
“In any case, you can slow down your work next time.” Tang Shi reminded, “An outlaw is still a temple god. Don’t touch her next time. Whatever she does will be offset by her past merits. It’s not your fault.”
“It’s not about whether I want to touch it or not, but I happened to run into it, so…”
He thought about it.
Zhou Ze thought of Monkey from back then.
He immediately lost interest in explaining. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”
At this moment, Tang Shi smiled. “I initially thought that you’re different from him, but I suddenly realised that you guys are the same.”
“I don’t want to take his path. By the way, have you recovered?”
“Almost done.”
“Then why are you still here? If you don’t help your friend, I can help you book a ticket to Chengdu.”
“It doesn’t matter if he goes or not. In the end, it won’t change because I went. Furthermore, I believe that he will return.”
Just as Xu Qinglang was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, the business at the shop over there has been settled. We can move out anytime.”
“Wait for my body to recover,” Zhou Ze said.
He did not want to sit in a wheelchair and watch the store’s business.
“Alright, take care of yourself and don’t get wet.”
Xu Qinglang walked downstairs.
Standing there, Tang Shi waved her hand and a white rabbit candy flew into her mouth.
Then, he asked Zhou Ze while chewing,
“Something seems to have changed on you.”
“Perhaps.”
“However, I still have to remind you to take good care of this body of yours, because for us, there is only one chance to return from hell and choose our body. Once this body is destroyed, you will become a lonely ghost.”
“Is there no exception?” Zhou Ze frowned. He did not really like this body. Although he was used to it, there were still some difficulties that he could not put into words.
Especially when he was facing Doctor Lin.
After a brief pondering, Tang Shi replied, “That person seems to have the ability to change his body, but he’s just a special example. For us, there’s only one time that we’re alone.”
“You seem to be in a good mood today.” Zhou Ze noticed that Tang Shi was a little talkative today.
Zhou Ze was not so narcissistic that this woman was very happy because he had returned safely, so she spoke too much.
“He sent a message. At the end of the month, there will be a result.”
“Oh, Wangfu Shi received the news, so he was overjoyed.”
Zhou Ze stretched lazily. “I hope that he can explode in the small universe over there and kill all those ghosts and monsters. Even if he self-destructs in the end, he will drag them down with him. That way, I can continue to live my life peacefully.”
The loli and the faceless woman were equivalent to the Damorix sword hanging above his head.
“When everything is settled, he might come here. Then, you might become neighbors.”
Ha, woman.
To be honest, Zhou Ze did not have much confidence in that person who could return safely from Chengdu. However, he knew very well that for Tang Shi, she could no longer listen to any rational words.
Zhou Ze could only follow along and say,
“Alright then, we can form a group. Doesn’t Marvel have an Avengers team? We can also have one.
Hell’s Guest Alliance?
Hellers’ Union? ”
“You’re being too obvious. You’re too old-fashioned.” Tang Shi was clearly not satisfied with that name.
“Ha, then tell me.”
“Anorexia League, how is it?”
