Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop, Guest Room.

The curtains, quilts, and even the pillows were all a heavy, festive red.

Through the red gauze curtains, one could see a stunningly beautiful woman lying on her side.

Nine snow-white fox tails spread out, swaying from time to time, looking incredibly alluring.

She fell asleep.

The delicate beauty between her brows was replaced by childlike fragility and unease.

In the depths of her dream, she saw a little fox spirit.

That ambitious little fox demon wanted to assassinate the young emperor who defied the laws of heaven and rebelled against the gods.

Unfortunately, before they could even get close to the imperial procession, they were captured by several guards.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting half of the curtain of the imperial carriage, and she saw eyes as deep as the bottom of a lake.

Strangely enough, his eyes were exactly the same as Jiang Chaosheng's.

But it is definitely not Jiang Chaosheng.

Because those eyes weren't as dejected as Jiang Chaosheng's.

A knock sounded in the bedroom, startling Daji so much that she sat up abruptly, her long silver hair sliding down her shoulders and obscuring most of her pretty face.

"Your Majesty, I've left breakfast at the door."

Daji looked towards the doorway.

It's that little succubus.

Daji did not reply. She wiped the sweat from her temples with her jade-like hand, her eyes becoming unfocused and her gaze unsteady.

"My husband..."

The room was silent.

For a long time.......

Daji suddenly clutched her hair in anguish, her body glowing like the bright moon.

The chaotic memories left her mind completely muddled.

It's getting out of control...

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, she heard a sigh of helplessness mixed with pity coming from the basement.

Daji calmed down, transforming into a nine-tailed demon core, and lay quietly in the center of the bed.

......

The entrance to Antique Shop Zero.

Jiang Chaosheng stood there, reaching out his hand to catch the first rays of morning sunlight.

He slowly closed his eyes.

It's been a long time since I've felt such gentle light.

Unfortunately, this morning was anything but peaceful.

Workers bustled about on the street.

These workers are all direct employees of World Dream Group.

There were also quite a few foreign faces among them.

Xia Li became anxious as soon as the plan was announced to transform this place into a street with a Republican-era theme.

Although she was being dragged into meetings by officials and businessmen in the South China Sea every day, effectively imprisoned, Xia Li also used some methods.

All the workers involved in the renovation of Anxiang Street were directly employed by the company.

This includes construction workers from overseas industries.

These direct employees have worked for World Dream Group for generations, making them far more useful than temporary workers and also preventing the government from planting spies.

They also did a very good job in attracting investment.

The shops offer great discounts, but there is a requirement for tenants.

That is speed.

The goal is to get the store up and running in a short period of time.

Merchants also know that opening too quickly in the Republican-era themed street will not bring good business.

But if you factor in the World Dream discounts, then even if you don't make a profit for a year, you won't lose money.

The merchants believe that World Dream Group may be launching a blitzkrieg, which is a kind of operational strategy.

Following the train incident, many merchants have already paid deposits and begun renovating the shops they rented.

Once Anxiang Street is renovated, the first batch of merchants who paid rent will be able to start operating immediately.

To the left of the Zero Antique Shop is a coffee shop, and to the right is a teahouse.

Jiang Chaosheng thought it would be good if Anxiang Street became more lively in the future.

"Oh, you must be the owner of the antique shop?"

A woman in a cheongsam stepped out of a white sedan, and Chongjiang Chaosheng greeted her with a smile.

Jiang Chaosheng looked at her suspiciously.

The woman glanced around the coffee shop, then confidently extended her hand:

"We'll be neighbors from now on, please take care of me."

Jiang Chaosheng understood; she was the owner of the coffee shop.

He gently grasped the woman's fingertips, touching them briefly before letting go.

Please take care of me.

The woman smiled and said:

"You renovated really fast."

Actually, these shops don't need much decoration.

The interior decoration is entirely in the style of the Republic of China era, because this is an old street from that period.

With just a little tidying up of the walls and floors, and some minor modifications to suit your business, it's ready to use.

However, the young boss in front of me was quite fast.

It might be related to something within the World Dream Group.

He can be considered young and wealthy.

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"fine."

Jin Meiting returned from the antique shop:

"host......."

She saw the woman in the cheongsam and changed her words:

"Sir, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

The woman in the cheongsam tactfully returned to her café.

Jin Meiting said:

"Master, Mingyue wants to come."

Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow:

"Um?"

Jin Meiting said:

"She wants to make a deal with you."

Jiang Chaosheng pondered for a moment, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

It seems there is not harmony within the Bureau of Anomalies.

At least Li Mingyue and the people behind her don't have a good relationship with that investigator named Bai Juzhi.

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"it is good."

As Jiang Chaosheng walked into the antique shop, he casually remarked:

Tell her that Baijuzhi is at the Night Bar.

Jin Meiting was stunned for a moment.

Who is Bai Juzhi?

Jin Meiting watched Jiang Chaosheng's retreating figure and slowly clenched her fist.

Have I become that disconnected from him?

......

Afternoon, South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.

Li Mingyue sat at the tea table, looking at Jiang Chaosheng in front of her, her expression complex:

"How...how did you know Baiju's location?"

Bai Juzhi was notorious within the Bureau of Abnormal Investigations.

People may question his character, but they won't deny his abilities.

Bai Juzhi is cautious in his actions, and even the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs does not know where he has landed.

How did this person in front of me know that?

Jiang Chaosheng poured Li Mingyue a cup of tea:

"unimportant."

Bai Juzhi knew to find a place near Anxiang Street to observe secretly, how could Yang Xiao not have thought of that?

Long ago, Yang Xiao's presence was felt throughout Anxiang Street.

The moment Bai Juzhi appeared at the Night Bar, Yang Xiao had already informed him, and Shadow was left behind to keep watch.

Jiang Chaosheng looked into Li Mingyue's eyes and said softly:

"The important thing is that I am an antique dealer, and I need to do business."

I'm sure you wouldn't want Bai Juzhi to find out you were on Anxiang Street, would you?

Maintaining confidentiality for our clients, and ensuring confidentiality for our antique shop, is a shared responsibility.

Li Mingyue fell silent.

He sounded like an ordinary customer, and he sounded like an ordinary boss.

Is that really the case?

Because neither he nor I are ordinary traders.

This person's way of doing things is completely different from normal people.

What exactly is he thinking?

Since he knows Baiju's location and that Baiju came for him, he could easily kill Baiju with his abilities, right?

Li Mingyue banished all these thoughts from her mind:

"You said last time in the old town that we could trade forbidden items with you."

Jiang Chaosheng nodded:

"Yes."

Li Mingyue took a sip of tea and asked:

"What do you need for this transaction?"

Li Mingyue had already discussed it with Cao Ye before coming.

As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'll give him anything.

Cao Ye even gave Li Mingyue a biographical document about Bai Juzhi.

This information is not accessible to the Public Security Bureau; it is top secret of the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs.

However, it seems that Jiang Chaosheng does not need this information.

Because no matter how you look at it, Bai Juzhi has long since transformed from an assassin into fish exposed to the sunlight in the kitchen.

Jiang Chaosheng poured Li Mingyue another cup of tea:

"I want two-thirds of your lifespan."
