Trafford's Trading Club

The minute hand of the pendulum clock moved in the club had merely made one round when Luo Qiu and his customer, Su Zijun, came back. Luo Qiu looked normal but Su Zijun had a pale face. She looked like a giant pressure cooker which could explode... anytime.

Su Zijun whispered, ”Three hundred billion is impossible! This is just your excuse. You said you were supposed to sell everything... Liar.” Luo Qiu knew that she said it on purpose. He smiled and didnʼt intend to respond, ”Miss. Zijun, itʼs quite early, would you like to drink something?”

”No.” Su Zijun stared at Luo Qiu and then left.

You Ye came close to Luo Qiu after seeing Su Zijun leaving. She said with a pity, ”Oh, I just made a blood drink for Miss. Zijun.”

”Really? How did you make that?” Luo Qiu asked curiously.

You Ye smiled, ”It was a little hard based on the traditional way. So I made it using molecular cuisine.”

”Well...”

Luo Qiu was in a good mood as he just received a large transaction fee. He said, ”Letʼs cook. You can assist me today but donʼt laugh at my poor cooking.”

...

Long Xiruo was fixing the second seal when she saw Su Zijun walking to her while frowning.

”Why did you come back so early?” Long Xiruo stopped and asked Su Zijun curiously.

Su Zijun found a stone and sat on it. ”Old lady, have you ever done business with that sinister club owner?”

Long Xiruo planned to chat leisurely with her but frowned upon hearing this, ”What are you going to do by asking this?”

Su Zijun glanced at Long Xiruo, ”He said he could open Penglai.”

Long Xiruo was shocked and she wanted to... object, ”Penglai is just a legend!”

Su Zijun said, ”It was said that the first dragon was born in Penglai. And Jiuzhou Xuanyuan came from Penglai, too. And also the celestial beings that were living in Penglai.”

”But it is just a legend.” Long Xiruo continued to fix the seal, ”There are a lot of people who died for this legend all these years. You shouldnʼt put your effort into seeking a fake legend... Better to care about the little guy under the ground than that. What did you do to her?”

”Nothing.” Su Zijun said, ”I am fattening her up, canʼt I?”

Long Xiruo said nothing... She clearly understood Su Zijunʼs style more than anyone else, ”Youʼd better not go to that place. I feel that it will be more complex than what we imagine.”

”I will be careful.” Su Zijun responded and then looked at the cave. ”Whatʼs that?”

Long Xiruo answered her without hesitation, ”The one who attacked me last time. I am busy fixing the seal so have no time to deal with it. I will do it later.”

That was a huge pile of rotting meat.

Su Zijun still remembered that Long Xiruo killed the big meat ball with her last breath when it attacked her successfully. She cut off most of its body and it fell into the water.

”There should be another one here?” Su Zijun stepped forward and looked at it... It was too ugly so that Su Zijun stood aside right away with a disgusted face.

”I donʼt know. Maybe it was flushed to another place.” Long Xiruo answered, ”It should be dead. I canʼt feel its existence.”

Su Zijun sniffed, ”There is no smell in the neighborhood... It was brought here by Xiang Liu. I need to ask him about it as well as about his assistant. The Godly Land is not a place for them to play.”

”When did you become so active?” Long Xiruo was surprised.

Su Zijun said, ”Xiang Liu has been punished but his assistant had attacked me previously. I am going to get even with him.”

”OK, go ahead.” Long Xiruo knew that Su Zijun was vindictive. ”I will go back to the hospital when I am finished.”

Su Zijun glanced at the rotting meat again. She had noticed it ever since she came in. As for the reason she guided the conversation that way, it was because she needed an excuse to meet Xiang Liu. Not only was she a fierce woman, but also a scheming one.

...

...

The TV was playing cartoons---Magical show, Goddess Duomi, transform! BiuBiu---Biu

”Xiaozhi, turn down the volume!”

”OK, mommy!” Xiaozhi was holding the remote and she pressed the volume button with her little and white finger. ”What are we going to eat tonight, mommy?”

”You watch TV first, I will consider it when I finish grinding the soybean.” San Er stopped and wiped her sweat on the face.

The little Tofu shop was not very large. The front was for business and the back was the living quarters.

”Three RMB of Tofu, please.” A voice came from the door of the little shop. San Er turned back with a smile, ”Okay, wait a moment...”

But San Er stopped smiling at once. She cut the target Tofu and packed it with banana leaves quickly. Then, she put it on the table, ”Here we go.”

The one who bought the Tofu was a strong man. He was about thirty years old and was about one point seventy-five meters high. He said nothing, merely taking out the money and handing it to San Er.

San Er reached out to take it but the man didnʼt release his grip; instead, holding the money tightly. He touched San Erʼs hand, ”Your hand is so delicate just like the Tofu. But why is it so calloused?”

”You, release me! What... are you doing!” San Er took her hand back and stared at the man angrily... He was a notorious scoundrel in this town.

”Little San Er, did anyone tell that you are beautiful even when you are angry?”

”Put your money here, I need to close the shop.” San Er didnʼt want to talk much with him. She was going to close the door of this shop. But the man stopped her when the door was pulled halfway, ”Donʼt worry, the sun is not going down.”

”I have nothing to say to you!” San Er pulled the door with more strength, but she failed.

”Then letʼs do something else together. Not chatting...” The man smiled, ”There are so many things we can do after the sun goes down.”

”Zhang Kun, get out of here... if you donʼt, I will call the police!” San Er kept away from him.

”Call my brother-in-law? ”Zhang Kun smiled, ”no need, we drunk together in the afternoon.” After saying those words, Zhang Kun walked into the Tofu shop directly and smirked, ”San Er, think about me? You are a single woman with a small kid. Life is so hard. How about being my girlfriend?”

”Zhang Kun, go... leave now!” San Er got worried, ”I... Iʼm going to call others!”

”Call for what?” Zhang Kun smiled coldly, ”Do you want to call for others and tell them that you, a window, made a pass at me? It must be. You have been single for almost three years.”

”You... stop framing me!”

”Mommy!” At this time, Xiaozhi walked out when she voices. She shivered when she saw Zhang Kun.

”Oh, Xiaozhi.” Zhang Kun laughed and hugged Xiaozhi right away, ”Havenʼt seen you for several days, you are becoming more and more beautiful.”

”Zhang Kun, let her go! Now!”

”Donʼt worry, I am just checking. I am not a monster!” Zhang Kun continued, ”Xiaozhi, Uncle will bring you for a good meal, OK?”

Seeing San Er about to rush and take her little girl back... Zhang Kun couldnʼt wait for her action. But the table in front was knocked by someone at this moment and a voice said, ”Is this place still open?”

A tall foreign man was standing at the doorway, who seemed like a castaway.
