The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 18: Chapter 6: The Blind-Eyed but Clear-Hearted Young Marquis

”Welcome, please come in,” called a gentle and handsome man at the door.

”You... I...” In this moment, Xiao Anning’s mind went blank. Just what kind of place was this? Who was the person in front of him? How could such an impressive shop exist here in the wilderness?

Xiao Anning looked up and saw the mystical couplet.

You can buy on credit but must repay in time or else you’ll be beaten to death—not a shady shop, the horizontal inscription made people uneasy. Could this really not be a shady shop? Why does it feel like a case of ’there’s no silver here’?

If it truly wasn’t a shady shop, then the Boss was an interesting person indeed.

”Guest, please. Our Boss is waiting for you,” Dong Xiao urged again, ”Anyone who can see this lamp and comes to our shop is someone destined.”

Xiao Anning even felt at this moment that everything in front of him was his own illusion, or had he already died and was now encountering the Soul Hooker? But can the Soul Hooker be this good-looking?

Under Dong Xiao’s urging, Xiao Anning stepped through the shop’s door and saw a woman. Although he had been unable to see since childhood, he thought this woman must be the most beautiful person in the world.

”Little Marquis.” The woman smiled faintly, a smile that captivated the soul, yet her tone was extremely languid.

”You... know me?” Xiao Anning asked in confusion.

”Sit down,” Tianmiao indicated for Xiao Anning to sit. Once he had settled down, she continued, ”Since you’re here at my shop, why not buy something? I sell everything, including wishes.”

Once again, Xiao Anning was dumbfounded, stunned by the woman’s words.

Since he saw that lamp, everything had become incredible.

”You can buy anything? Including wishes?” Xiao Anning asked. This shop was indeed too magical—from being able to see to now being able to purchase wishes.

Tianmiao nodded, ”Any wish you can imagine. But I only sell one wish, so think carefully.”

”What kind of price should I pay?” Xiao Anning asked somewhat solemnly. If this was true, the cost surely wouldn’t be just money. But if it were to exchange what he treasured most, he absolutely wouldn’t agree to such a deal.

”Naturally, it will be a price you can afford. Rest assured, it won’t be your cherished loved ones,” Tianmiao smiled slightly.

Xiao Anning was startled—could she actually see into his thoughts?

”So, do you wish to buy a wish? You can buy on credit,” Tianmiao’s voice held an indefinable temptation, drawing people in step by step.

Could wishes really be purchased? If they could truly be...

Suddenly, Xiao Anning laughed. His smile was so gentle, so bright.

”I wish for my family’s happiness and well-being. I’ll purchase this wish!” Xiao Anning spoke without much thought, blurting out this wish, ”If the price for such a wish is my life, I hope it will be collected after my loved ones have all peacefully passed away.”

Faced with Xiao Anning’s request, Tianmiao could not help but chuckle softly. What a good child...

”Alright, then, as you wish,” Tianmiao’s languid voice suddenly became ethereal, slowly echoing into Xiao Anning’s heart.

Kong Hou heard Xiao Anning’s wish, a look of puzzlement flashed across her face. Yet she said nothing, standing quietly to the side.
