The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Zhou Shiqiu quickly stopped a passerby to ask, ”Excuse me, do you know what this empty lot is going to be used for?”

The passerby waved and said, ”I don’t know, this lot has been empty for quite a while.” After saying that, the passerby left.

Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu exchanged a glance, both seeing terror in each other’s eyes.

”What do we do?” Zhou Shiqiu asked softly.

”Let’s go, let’s leave. I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.” Xu Yuxi replied in a trembling voice.

The moment they were about to turn and leave, the door of the All Things Shop opened.

A stunning man dressed in traditional Chinese clothing stood at the doorway, smiling at Xu Yuxi, ”Miss Xu, since you’re here, why not come inside? Since you can see our shop, then you are our guest. We sell anything in this store.”

Xu Yuxi froze, grabbed Zhou Shiqiu, and ran, faster and faster.

After Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu vanished into the crowd, a woman wearing a qipao appeared, she sneered, ”Dong Xiao, I didn’t expect this day to come for you. Even you can scare customers away now.”

”She’ll be back,” Dong Xiao said calmly.

”Alright then.” Kong Hou yawned, ”Played mahjong too long with Bai Ze and the others last night, so tired, I’m going for a nap.”

”Go ahead.” Dong Xiao nodded, after Kong Hou went inside, he extended his hand and opened his palm, revealing a circular green Jade Pendant. Dong Xiao smiled, ”Don’t worry, she will come again.”

”Thank you, Master Dong Xiao.” In the next moment, the green Jade Pendant lying in Dong Xiao’s palm grew small hands and feet, stood up, and bowed to Dong Xiao.

”Are you sure you want to stay in this world forever? You should know, this world will soon undergo a dramatic change.” Dong Xiao asked.

”I’m sure, I’ve finally found my owner. No matter what difficulties my owner encounters, I want to face them together.” The Jade Pendant replied resolutely.

”Good.” Dong Xiao smiled faintly, then put the Jade Pendant away, and turned to enter the shop.

...

Back at the inn, Xu Yuxi was restless. She constantly felt like she had missed something.

”Yuxi, are you still thinking about that?” Zhou Shiqiu asked worriedly.

”Yes, it feels so eerie.” Xu Yuxi nodded.

”Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore. How about we check out now and go back, then find the master at the Golden Ship Temple to take a look at you? Maybe get an amulet that’s been blessed to wear?” Zhou Shiqiu suggested.

”No, it’s nothing, I’m fine.” Xu Yuxi shook her head, ”I don’t believe in ghosts or gods. Maybe it was my imagination. Let’s rest for a bit and then go eat. Remember, your treat.”

”Alright.” Zhou Shiqiu agreed, seeing Xu Yuxi’s mood lighten slightly, finally relieved.

...

The night fell. The ancient town was still brightly lit and bustling. The nightlife was just beginning.

However, Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu were exhausted from their daytime outing, so they went to bed early, each cuddled up in bed playing on their phones.

Time ticked by little by little.

By midnight, Zhou Shiqiu yawned, ”Yuxi, I’m so sleepy, can’t hold out anymore, I’m going to sleep now, call me if you need anything.”

”Yes, I’m going to sleep too, good night.” Xu Yuxi said good night, put down her phone, and prepared to sleep.

Zhou Shiqiu quickly fell asleep, the sound of his steady breathing ringing out. Xu Yuxi, however, couldn’t sleep, staring at the ceiling, her mind constantly replaying the image of that shop.
