Chapter 218: The Beauty Who Brings Disaster to the North of the Lands and the Rivers

While he was wandering around the store, Fu Er lit Bai Kai a cigarette, and the two of them smoked while chatting, attempting to get some useful information out of each other.

Fu Er wanted to know about Yibei, and Bai Kai wanted to know about urban legends that lurked in the area.

They both were cunning, but as they tried to weave information out of each other, they ended up chatting about their own matters instead.

Bai Kai, shameless as he is, talked about the women with extremely beautiful figures in his life, while Fu Er rambled about the dirty money he obtained from his business without shifting his face.

After several back-and-forth conversations, the floor was littered with scraps of moral integrity.

Examining the crystal bottle carefully, Yibei frowned. He could basically confirm that the contents of the bottle were the same liquid that seeped out of him whenever he transformed.

And if it can be used for sale in a ghost market, that means it must be a good thing, and if he could sell it every single day, it is a very good thingno, it is the best!

I just dont know if

He silently cursed and glanced at the small labels on the various shelves around the store.

Fu Er only looks after the store. Technically, this was a self-service store, and customers would have to choose the items they wanted by themselves. Each item was given a brief introduction with the labels underneath them.

[Tuft of Hair: Able to withstand one to three curses, depending on quality; 300g of gold.]

[Spiritual Urn: Able to absorb one to five spells, depending on quality; 500g of gold.]

[Divine Armoured Horse (imitation): psychic item that increases speed; 950g gold; or items equivalent in value.]Geett the latest novels at novelhall.comn, you could probably find every solution to every problem in this store alone. awesome!

After reading through seven or eight labels, Yibei withdrew his gaze and glanced at the large crystal bottle again as he frowned.

In a single glance, the other goods can be bought using gold or other psychic items; only a few of them can be paid in money. What unsettled him was that all the other goods had short descriptions about them but not the giant crystal bottle of black liquid.

Did he misplace it? Or does he have no intention of selling it at all?

No. I have to ask if this thing is worth anything. This is important to me.

He carefully hauled the crystal bottle with both hands and walked towards Fu Er.

Excuse me, whats inside this bottle? This one isnt labelled with anything.

Fu Er and Bai Kai turned to see what was inside Yibeis hands, and their expressions changed as the corners of their mouth began to twitch uncontrollably.

Damn! Bai Kai laughed. I cant believe youre keeping something like this around! If you spill this, Im afraid half of the tenants in the ghost market will come looking for a fight!

W-what? Fu Er stuttered. I-I gained fifty pounds recently! I cant run for my life! I hired a clerk before this. Maybe he took it out from the back to sell to my customers, and

Alright, I get it, Bai Kai smiled sarcastically, walking towards his godson. Youre great at doing business.

Yibei had always thought that even if the black liquid had some value, it shouldnt be too expensive or sought-after.

However, after seeing Fu Ers and Bai Kais reactions, he couldnt help but panic a little.

This liquid must be expensive and dangerous!

Bai Kai stopped in front of him and snatched the bottle away, placing it back on the shelf. He then turned back around and gave Fu Er a look, signalling for him to safeguard the bottle.

Fu Er nodded slightly, then wiped the sweat away from his forehead as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his relief, Yibei became even more confused and asked his godfather, Uh, whats in that bottle? You made that thing look like a bomb.

Because it is, Bai Kai explained. A gas bomb, if were being specific.

I make gas bombs in my toilet all the time!

The liquid is named Disaster, Fu Er explained further, but before he could speak, Bai Kai interrupted him.

Youre talking too much.

Previously, Bai Kai had no intention of letting his godson know of the origin and use of such evil things. To him, he wouldnt be exposed to such evil liquids for some time.

However, now that Yibei had found the bottle, he guessed that he would have to explain to avoid getting into trouble.

That liquid is a filthy, psychic polymer. It is difficult to get rid of, and its only use is poison. Depending on its purity, its effects range from mild hallucinations to irreversible mental damage. Only psychics and urban legends that are evil incarnates would have access to such a thing.

Yes, Fu Er nodded. Despite how beautiful it is, its troublesome. Whoever gets involved with it becomes unlucky!

Now, who the hell are you calling troublesome? Be careful of what comes out of your mouth!

So is this thing worth anything?

Not really, but it is dangerous, Bai Kai frowned.

Not very valuable He looked at the shelf expressionlessly. The crystal bottle, which seemed to shine beforehand, suddenly seemed fairly dull in his eyes.

If the residents of the Garden of Peaches knew that their god was like this in private, their faith might collapse on the spot.

Sometimes, Yibei feels that hes in big trouble. In situations like this, being emotional could make the outcome worse, so all he does is try and smile politely with that rigid face of his.

I think its time for a break. Arent you afraid of cardiac arrest?

It wasnt until he spoke that Jumeng noticed his presence, and she leapt up from the sofa and said, Youre back! Did you go hunting for urban legend cores last night?

No.

Its okay; you tried your best. Want some fried chicken? Jumeng smiled, grabbing a half-eaten drumstick and shaking it towards him.

He sat next to her and took the drumstick from her hand: Is this considered an indirect kiss?

Jumeng stared at the computer screen intently, her hands constantly controlling her game character as she nodded: I dont mind! Its up to you!

Well, dont mind if I do! he said, immediately digging into the drumstick and tearing off large pieces of meat.

Well see about that! He sneered in his heart.

The two had constant, silent battles. They competed with each other to occupy the living room, and thus, they were very petty.

Jumeng was slightly stunned when she caught a glimpse of him eating the drumstick. I wanted to prevent him from stealing my fried chicken by saying I already bit into it, but hes too shameless!

Jumeng simply leaned over, laid on his lap, and whispered, Do you mind if I lie down to rest for a while?

Whatever, he shrugged, grabbing a piece of chicken wings this time as he gnawed on it. On the other hand, he gently went through Jumengs hair with his fingertips and played with it gently.

Lu Yibei

Finally! I win! He cheered in his heart. What is it?

Something is poking my head, she whispered.

?

No, no, no. That cant be! I can feel my own thing, and it isnt even hard! Do I have feelings that I dont know about?

He narrowed his eyes and fumbled through his pocket, pulling out a palm-sized crystal bottle from his pocket.

Jumeng playfully glanced at him from the corners of her eye but immediately jumped up and pushed herself to the other end of the couch, asking, Y-y-y Where did you get this from?

What?

That thing in your hand! Where did you get it from? Do you know what it is? It is literally called Disaster! Its the excrement produced in the circulation of this worlds collective psychic system! You, youre disgusting!

A beautiful goddess making metaphors related to shit and pee I guess she really is a plant goddess.

Its disgusting, but this is a matter of money! I have to distract her!

He silently put the crystal bottle away, then pointed at the laptop screen and said, Oh, your team won.

What? She was stunned for a moment, picking up the laptop as the grin on her face started to grow. Well yes! Im the raid leader! Yes! Well done, everyone! All thanks to me!

In reality, before she scrambled to the other side of the couch, she accidentally ordered her character to rush towards the boss, which led her teammates to rush in as well.

He hurriedly left the living room and went upstairs, washed up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to university.

He had no time to relax. Once he relaxes, just like Jumeng, he might become addicted to lazing around on the sofa.

At least she is a god, and she still has a way to ensure that she is ageless and beautiful.

When passing by the living room, he couldnt help but feel the emerald eyes of disgust piercing through his soul.

Throughout the morning class, he found himself distracted from time to time, and his thoughts would unconsciously wander to the Disaster Liquid.

In the Great Commentary, the people in ancient times would tie ropes for promises, but later, sages changed them with written contracts.

I cant believe Jumeng would feel disgusted by the liquid, which means that its beneath her.

The ancients had no writing, but they had oaths.

Maybe I shouldnt sell it, but keep some for self-defence.

In addition to rope-knotting, bead-knotting was also developed as

Argh, enough! I have to listen in class, or Ill be distracted for the whole day!

He slapped his cheeks and forced himself to focus on the lesson.

And when somebody focuses on something, time flies.

When he came back to his senses, the bell rang. He hurriedly packed his things to leave when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Taking it out, he couldnt help but frown.

It was a message from Jiangli. It was short but unnerving.

Today is a good time to retrieve your runes. If you have nothing going on, come over around noon.
