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

South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.

Jiang Chaosheng took the forbidden items he had just recovered into the back room.

The forbidden items were numbered according to the first digit of their name and placed on different shelves.

He exhaled a deep breath.

relax.

Since taking over the Zero Antique Shop, I've felt more relaxed than ever before.

The curse has been lifted, and you can now walk among humans at any time.

As long as forbidden items are retrieved in a timely manner and as many forbidden items are collected, the curse will not be allowed to descend a second time.

Jiang Chaosheng put the Dragon Ball back on the shelf and said softly:

"Old Long, you've worked hard."

The Dragon King of the Jing River suffered considerable injuries this time.

Fortunately, I brought the old Dragon King with me this time.

If it weren't for Daji and the Dragon King's ability to bring rain, he would probably have ended up like the sea coachman.

This sea voyage was extremely dangerous.

On the other side of the Great Western Sea, a member of the Taiping Dao wielding the Heavenly King Demon-Suppressing Umbrella was watching this side.

If Yang Xiao hadn't scared him away, the consequences would have been unimaginable if that Taiping Dao member had caused trouble while he was trapped in the dark clouds.

"The Way of Peace..."

Yang Xiao murmured the name of the organization.

Their organization has grand ambitions; many of its members possess forbidden items, and some are even able to perfectly wield them.

Zero Antique Shop has two responsibilities.

First, it contains forbidden items.

Second, let the forbidden sculptures in the basement enjoy the power of the soul.

Tai Ping Dao has already conflicted with the first duty of Zero Antique Shop.

This organization will undoubtedly be an enemy of Antique Shop Zero for some time to come.

Why do we say "some time in the future"?

Because Taipingdao, which has a conflict of interest with Zero Antique Shop, cannot survive for long.

Jiang Chaosheng's gaze was deep and unfathomable:

"The Taboo Society must continue to develop, and at an accelerated pace."

During the time the curse was lifted, Jiang Chaosheng discovered that this world held many secrets.

Leaving aside the origins of the gods and the forbidden things, the secrets of the human world, such as the "Way of Peace," are enough to attract his attention.

You can never beat having a strong and loyal group of subordinates when you're empty-handed.

Jiang Chaosheng's gaze swept across the corridor.

Zhongshu was still in the front hall.

Jiang Chaosheng was very interested in Li Xinyuan, who was summoned by Zhongshu.

He possesses immense power, capable of taking on three opponents at once, and eliminated three members of the Taiping Dao who possessed forbidden items, making him a formidable fighter.

......

In the lobby, Zhongshu stared blankly at his surroundings.

It has an antique feel, like an ancient palace.

Those tables, chairs, stairs, and counters all exude an antique charm and are most likely genuine antiques.

The most amazing thing is:

There was no electricity here; the light source came from bronze candlesticks all around!

"That gentleman should live in a place like this."

Zhongshu thought to himself.

Just then, a trickle of tea flowed from beside me into the teacup in front of me.

"Thanks!"

Zhongshu quickly expressed his gratitude.

He turned around and saw the 'person' pouring tea, and his body trembled with fright.

It was a crow carrying a teapot and pouring him tea!

Xie Ya put down the teapot and said:

"There used to be a waiter, but that waiter has been preoccupied lately and hasn't been coming out of the room much."

The waitress Xie Ya was referring to was naturally Jin Meiting.

After receiving guidance from Xie Ya, Jin Meiting immediately began planning to provide services to Jiang Chaosheng centered around religion.

Zhongshu swallowed hard.

"Thank you... thank you!"

A moment later, Jiang Chaosheng came out from the back room and sat down opposite Zhongshu.

Zhongshu quickly sat up straight, not daring to be negligent.

Xie Ya poured Jiang Chaosheng a cup of tea.

Jiang Chaosheng didn't pay attention to whether Xie Ya or Jin Meiting had poured the tea.

Or perhaps he simply doesn't care.

Anyone who can do the work is acceptable.

Just like what Xie Ya said to Jin Meiting: Everyone is just a tool to Jiang Chaosheng; he'll use whoever is most useful.

Jin Meiting has indeed become somewhat disconnected from Zero Antique Shop and is gradually becoming marginalized.

Jiang Chaosheng rubbed the warm teacup:

"Ask if you want to."

Zhongshu couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up:

"Sir, is that White Tasha... still alive?"

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"Life and death depend on how you define them."

Physiologically speaking, she died ten days ago.

However, apart from lacking a physical body, this dead person was otherwise just like a normal person.

So in my opinion, she is alive.

Zhongshu lowered his head:

Will I ever see her again?

Zhongshu suddenly remembered something:

"If I join the Taboo Society, will I have a chance to see her again?"

Jiang Chaosheng's eyes flickered slightly:

"You joined the Taboo Society just to see a woman?"

Zhongshu remained silent for a moment:

"And some others too."

"For example?"

Jiang Chaosheng took a small sip of tea.

Zhongshu gripped his trouser leg tightly.

I can't stand seeing good people suffer injustice, and I can't stand seeing bad people act arrogantly.

I don't like the guy who stole my flintlock pistol on the train, or the masked man who shot passengers after getting off the train!

I want to do something, I want to change something!

I feel that taboo will be a starting point to sever ties with my past!

Jiang Chaosheng put down his teacup, suddenly chuckled, and looked at Zhongshu with eyes full of disappointment.

Jiang Chaosheng put down his teacup, suddenly chuckled, and looked at Zhongshu with eyes full of disappointment.

Zhongshu stared at Jiang Chaosheng in astonishment, his lips moving slightly:

"Why first, sir?"

Does the gentleman also believe in the law of the jungle, that the strong should bully the weak?

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head and said:

"I have no interest in changing other people's values."

Whether you believe in the law of the jungle or in a world where harmony prevails, you may not believe in the law of the jungle.

Those are all your opinions.

Only children nitpick over words and try to distinguish right from wrong.

Upon hearing Jiang Chaosheng's words, Zhongshu had an expression of "I knew it."

A person of Mr. Sir's stature, who transcends the ordinary, would not concern himself with distinguishing between good and evil.

Just like a trending topic online:

The sheep being eaten by the wolf is the wolf's cruelty.

If someone forcibly intervenes and rescues the sheep, that is cruel to the wolf.

How do you know this wolf won't starve to death?

How do you know if there are any hungry wolf cubs in the wolf den?

Zhong Shudao:

"But...sir, you seem disappointed with what I just said."

Jiang Chaosheng said:

"You said you couldn't stand the evil deeds committed by the man who stole your gun on the bus, and you couldn't stand the masked man who shot and killed passengers."

Jiang Chaosheng paused, then looked at Zhongshu's eyes with a mocking gaze:

"But I didn't hear you say you couldn't stand the brutality of the sea train, even though all the disasters were caused by that train."

Zhongshu was stunned.

Indeed, he hadn't thought of that.

Why...?

Why didn't I ever think of hating the train at sea?

He never saw the sea train as an object of hatred; he only thought about how to avoid being killed by the train crew.
