general, who Xi Linzhou called "Master Yue," slapped her across the face, stunning her."What a pathetic excuse for a person! I thought you were going to find the fox spirit, but since you couldn't, y...I turned my head to the sound, and saw a man in Armani standing by the door. He had obviously heard what my brother said.

My brother raised an eyebrow and said, "I think that old man is possessed."

Armani, the man, frowned and walked into our room. He turned around and closed the door, saying: “Which faction are you from”

Which faction

Calling us Taoists

My brother curled his lip and said, "We're not Taoists, just ordinary merchants with no sect or lineage... but my surname is Mu."

As soon as my brother introduced himself, the man's eyes lit up.

He lowered his voice and said, “I’ve heard of your family name. They say whatever you ask for in your family is particularly effective. What do you think is wrong with my grandfather”

My brother put on a sly merchant's grin and said, "I don't understand these things either. Why don't you ask the master to take a look If you need anything, come to our shop and see if we have what you need."

The man nodded and said, "Good, good."

"Wait until he's gone, I hissed to my brother, "You dare brag Our shop is full of fake goods! Last time I threw away so much stuff, it didn't even calm that bloody face down! You still have the nerve to introduce yourself"

My brother gave an awkward smile: “Dad needs money for his treatment, and now he’s down, so I have to be the pillar of the family. Just leave the business to me, I'll make the money. You just focus on your studies.”

I am speechless.

After seven days had passed, that ghastly husband-spirit did not appear at night again.

He once said: "After seven days are full, you ask me and I don't even want to touch you, it's disappointing!"

He really left without hesitation.

Humph, planted the seed and walked away, what a jerk!

Let him be whatever emperor or god he claims to be, go f*** yourself!

Though I complain, I still wear the ring and jade seal he left me. Not for anything else, just to stay alive.

The blood-red ghost face, "Ghost King", escaped. Who knows when it will appear next time.

The past seven days have completely drained me, like the effort of my first eighteen years. After two days of recuperation, I've returned to the relentless routine of home and school.

The peace was almost unreal, as if this kind of stable life could only exist in a dream.

But I also have an extra goal, saving money.

I can't rely on my brother alone, he's still a student who hasn't graduated.

And in the antique business, three years of not opening shop and three years of feasting when you do. Who knows when there will be business again.

But I'm just a freshman. I have no skills, no certificates, and no experience. Making money is simply a fantasy.

Seeing my worried and gloomy expression, Song Wei invited me for a shopping trip.

"I'm broke, why would I even go shopping" I said shaking my head with a frown.

"Oh come on, let's go! You're always so gloomy, even the God of Wealth can't see you, how could he bless you with money I'll take you to a great place with amazing deals!" She excitedly linked her arm through mine.

>>

Girls, when they go shopping, they are like a broken train, only going "Woo~~~~~ eat and shop and eat and shop".

The topic is that the clothes are so pretty! Oh oh oh, that guy who just passed by was so handsome!

Then her mouth wouldn't stop, takoyaki meatballs sweet potato tempura milk tea...

Last but not least: find the restroom.

Song Wei brought me to a place that truly lived up to its name: an affordable women's clothing wholesale center. It spanned many floors, with small and cramped storefronts packed with people.

"Don't you think it's boring here" I was dragged around by her for a long time, watching her spend twenty dollars on a T-shirt and thirty dollars on a skirt...

"I think you're being too gloomy!" she said disapprovingly. "Xiao Qiao, you've been looking haggard lately! Even if your dad is in the hospital, don't look so forlorn... I can't help with the money, but I'm happy to keep you company and take your mind off things."

She was so righteous, I felt a little embarrassed. I forced out a smile and said, "Thanks."

"Oh, this one is really pretty! Xiao Qiao, come try it on!" she said, pointing at a dress on a mannequin.

At a glance, the outfit was tight and midriff-baring, paired with a high-waisted pleated skirt. A pair of knee-high socks and square-toe high heels completed the look, exuding both heat and a hint of academic style.

Song Wei pushed me into the dressing room without hesitation and blocked the door, preventing me from coming out.

I have no choice but to change into a different outfit. This one is too revealing...

My shoulders and collarbones are exposed. Fortunately, the scars left by that hideous husband of mine have all disappeared, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to wear this.

The high-waisted pleated skirt hits five centimeters above the knee. It's not a miniskirt, but it's easy to flash when you bend over.

I'm very uncomfortable in this kind of insecure dress.

Song Wei smiled and said, "Alright, alright, rest assured."

Finally, she insisted that I change into stockings and high heels.

"Wow! NICE!!" She exaggeratedly took out her phone to take a picture: "From today on, you are my goddess!"

I feel a little uncomfortable, this dress is too tight and I don't feel safe in it.

Song Wei didn't care about that much, she had already put down her phone and bargained with the boss: "Boss, I will post your shop name and my goddess's photo on WeChat Moments, guaranteeing countless people will come to patronize you, so just give me a 50% discount!"

She was the first to bargain down to half price at the wholesale market.

The boss was swindled and directly cut off the price tag, letting me wear it.

Song Wei waved her hand: "Here you go! It's almost your birthday anyway!"

I accepted her kindness with a smile, and we strolled until closing time. She hurriedly said she needed to use the restroom, just a quick pee before heading home.

We looked for a long time before we found a restroom with a sign that said "under construction".

"Oh, forget about fixing it. Wait here for me, I'll be right back." She shoved the spoils from her conquest into my hands and dashed into the ladies' restroom.

I waited and waited, for a full ten minutes, but she still hadn't come out.

"Song Wei, Miss, did you eat something bad" I shouted from inside.

At the end of the hallway, the bathroom was eerily silent.

A male voice suddenly shouted from behind me, "Hey! What are you doing here"

At first glance, I saw a man in a suit. He had a name tag in his upper pocket, he must be the manager of the shopping mall, here for an inspection.

"My friend went to the restroom, I'm waiting for her here." I answered honestly.

His face changed color, and he angrily shouted, "Didn't you see that it says 'under repair' here!"

"What am I supposed to do! Your mall restrooms are so hard to find, do you expect me to use the hallway as a toilet!" I shouted back.

His face turned pale, and he roared with an unnatural rage: “This is ruined! We can’t go in, we’ll be locked inside!”

Locked inside I was startled, could Song Wei be locked inside

Look, I was stepping inside when the manager grabbed me and dragged me outside. My clothes tore!

He pulled, and my clothes slipped down!tly. The candles on the altar were battery-operated, and there were many plates of food placed in front of them.It's both meat and vegetarian, but at a glance you can tell it's takeout.I took a look a...
