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

The wildly popular online novel, "Zero Antique Shop: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts," is a heartfelt work by author Peach Tree Bell.

Evil Crow said:

"A thousand years ago, an elderly court Onmyoji in Dongying accidentally obtained the Nine-Tailed Demon Core."

The Yin-Yang Bureau, which was originally only responsible for astronomy, calendar, and divination, finally welcomed its first supernatural human.

He was Abe no Seimei, the first true Onmyoji.

Abe no Seimei died less than three years after obtaining the Nine-Tailed Fox's core.

It should be noted that the Nine-Tailed Fox Core is extremely violent.

The reason why the Nine-Tailed Demon Core can be controlled by mortals is simply because it is in an extremely weak state.

After being devoured by a mortal, the Nine-Tailed Demon Core will frantically absorb the mortal's lifespan to restore its original power.

Once the Nine-Tailed Demon Core has absorbed 9,900 years of lifespan, it can break free from the Onmyoji and become a great calamity for the human world.

That fool Abe no Seimei, for the sake of his family's honor, actually chose to pass on the Nine-Tailed Fox's core.

His family also adopted "Seimei" as their family name.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Core has been passed down in the Seimei family for a thousand years and has been controlled by two hundred and thirty Onmyoji.

All told, the Nine-Tailed Demon Core has consumed over 9,800 years of lifespan.

The most disgusting thing is that the first Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, developed a spell.

The experience gained in developing the Nine-Tailed Fox Core can be passed on to the next generation of Onmyoji.

Xie Ya glanced at Jiang Chaosheng:

"So you need to understand, I'm not dealing with Dongying's little brat."

Rather, it's about the almost resurrected Daji, and the magical insights gained from two hundred and thirty generations of Onmyoji.

Jiang Chaosheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

Is it that powerful?

To be honest, he was a little tempted by the Nine-Tailed Demon Core.

Does the Nine-Tailed Fox's core devour lifespan?

It's okay, I'm immortal, let her eat me as she pleases.

Jiang Chaosheng asked:

"What are my chances of winning against that Onmyoji?"

Evil Crow said:

"100%".

Jiang Chaosheng was stunned for a moment.

He thought it would be difficult to defeat that Onmyoji.

Evil Crow said:

"The nine-tailed fox is very strong, but in the end, it still possesses a human body."

The evil crow glanced at the back hall:

"Isn't there a crazed old dragon over there?"

Dealing with that brat Dongying was a piece of cake.

Even if the nine-tailed fox were to resurrect, with so many forbidden things you have, wouldn't you still want to torture her to your heart's content?

"Exactly, I'm not trying to be mean, but your master is too weak. You haven't even unlocked the power of these forbidden items."

Once Xie Ya got into a good talking session, his sharp tongue unconsciously began to show.

Jiang Chaosheng didn't mind Xie Ya's talkativeness this time and asked:

"Can you teach me magic?"

If you learn magic, it will be much easier to contain forbidden objects in the future.

Take, for example, Daji, who is about to be resurrected.

Although he is immortal, he would probably have to rely on his tortoise shell technique to take the hits when facing such a ferocious beast.

With magic, things are different.

In addition to enhancing their own strength, they can also more perfectly control forbidden objects.

Evil Crow said:

"cannot."

Jiang Chaosheng's eyes narrowed dangerously.

The evil crow hurriedly said:

"It's not that I'm unwilling to teach you, Master."

The main problem is that my supernatural abilities are innate; they can't be taught!

Jiang Chaosheng had a sudden realization.

Even living forbidden objects, like other forbidden objects, are born with power.

The raven glanced at the back hall again:

"That old dragon is different; it truly cultivated itself bit by bit through hard work."

If you learn from him, you're guaranteed to learn something good. If he refuses to teach you, then you can slap him with the Grim Reaper's scythe.

I just don't understand how someone as strong as him could have ended up like this.

Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow:

"You don't even know how he died?"

I'm actually very curious about how forbidden things come into being.

You all have numbers. Who gave you these numbers?

The crow shook its head blankly:

"I really don't know."

I was born on Sunset Slope in the underworld.

Then, inexplicably, the underworld disappeared.

Later, while I was wandering around brothels and singing in the Tang Dynasty, I was suddenly dragged here by the first owner.

Jiang Chaosheng pursed his lips and didn't pursue the matter further.

Previous managers didn't understand the secrets of Zero Antique Shop, so how could the newcomer like himself possibly know?

Let's take it one step at a time.

The thing I have in abundance is time.

We still need to look at the immediate situation.

Recover forbidden items, contain forbidden items.

The development of taboo societies needs to be accelerated.

Taboo is my best tool; the more taboo develops, the more skillfully I can accomplish things.

Once Yang Xiao has selected the Cleaners, the Taboo Society's system will be relatively mature.

After all, the Scavengers will be a group of ghouls with superhuman powers.

Although their fighting strength is not as good as Jin Meiting, Xia Li, Yang Xiao and other members of the Forbidden Society,

However, there is no problem with the Scavengers serving as the Taboo Society's basic combat unit.

Jiang Chaosheng took a sip of tea.

The refreshing tea soothed my throat and made my mind clearer.

The forbidden item I desire most right now is the Nine-Tailed Fox's core.

It's a pity, the Nine-Tailed Demon Core is in Dongying, and I can't get there in time.

Ideally, there would be a way to lure the Onmyoji to the South China Sea.

At that time, the Nine-Tailed Demon Core and other officially forbidden items will be delivered to my mouth.

As for what kind of solution to find...

Two pieces of information can be gleaned from the chat logs between Onmyoji and Hakuryo.

First, Onmyoji also desire forbidden items.

Secondly, the Onmyoji's assistant is currently in the South China Sea.

I have plenty of forbidden things.

If the Onmyoji's assistant discovers that there are forbidden items in the South China Sea, wouldn't that attract the Onmyoji?

A plan took shape in my mind.

Jiang Chaosheng murmured:

"There's a prerequisite for completing this plan: someone needs to flaunt the forbidden item in Southsea City."

Jin Meiting?

No, she can't be exposed to the public eye so soon.

Yang Xiao?

That won't work either; he's very busy right now.

Shirley? Needless to say, she's even less of a match.

Currently, all members of the Forbidden Society are very useful, and there are no spare members available.

Jiang Chaosheng sighed and muttered to himself:

"Speaking of which, since taking over Zero Antique Shop, Jin Meiting is the only one who has taken the initiative to make a transaction."

No wonder Li Qinglian was driven to the brink of collapse by the Zero Antique Shop.

No one goes into Zero Antique Shop to make a transaction; they just watch the days go by and curse their way through life.

In a few days, it will be time to infuse the forbidden sculptures with spiritual power.

The soul power within the Soul-Sealing Jar is now quite limited.

I must trade soul power these next few days.

Just then, the wind chimes at the door rang.

Jiang Chaosheng looked up and saw a strange man.

The man had a stubble beard and looked very颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, or颓废).

He walked towards the counter.

Jiang Chaosheng could smell a mixture of sweat, sour smell, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol.

The man said:

"Boss, I want to buy something."

A smile slowly crept onto Jiang Chaosheng's lips.

It seems I've been lucky.

I was sleepy, so they brought me a pillow.

Jiang Chaosheng smiled and said:

"What would you like to order?"

. . . . . .

P.S.: I've adjusted my mindset.

Let's share our opinions here, guys.

If there are enough comments, I'll add an extra chapter!
