I eliminated the five Century Ghosts and then searched through the Tattoo Shop, but I found no useful clues. Embarrassed, I touched my ear and muttered to myself, "If I had known, I wouldn't have acted so cool earlier. I could have interrogated those five Century Ghosts; maybe they would have revealed something."
Wang Lei had not been taken down, and I was worried about Qu Liang's safety. So, I asked Hu Yalong and the others to head back while I stayed behind to keep Qu Liang company.
For the next two hours, Qu Liang and I wandered around, ate, and watched a movie. Qu Liang seemed to be having a great time, while I was so exhausted that I could barely walk. Even though I was much stronger than Qu Liang, seeing her completely unfazed by fatigue made me admit that girls are truly remarkable beings.
On the morning of the third day, Wang Lei deleted his post on the Campus Forum regarding Qu Liang and her dorm mates. He had decided not to continue targeting them. However, Wang Lei was not planning to back down; he went to our school's Forum and posted again, declaring that he would take my life within a month.
Upon hearing this news, I shook my head dismissively. I chose to ignore Wang Lei's threat. Now that I had two magical artifacts in my possession, if he dared to show up in front of me again, I would ensure he wouldn't return.
Two more hours passed without any sign of Wang Lei, so I left Qu Liang's side and returned to my own school. Of course, during those five hours, aside from accompanying Qu Liang on her adventures, we also engaged in some deeper discussions at night. For instance, I pointed out some issues with Qu Liang's spellcasting, and she shared some secrets about the Yin-Yang Realm with me.
Everything seemed normal until the last night when we had a bit of white wine. That was when I lost my long-preserved virginity. Just as I was beginning to savor this new experience, Qu Liang's roommate returned unexpectedly, and I was promptly kicked out by Qu Liang.
Back in my university dormitory, lying on my bed and reflecting on what had happened the previous night made my heart race with excitement. I felt a surge of uncontrollable impulses rising within me, so I quickly sat up and recited the Calm Heart Mantra several times until I managed to calm myself down.
I shook my head and sighed, "Why doesn't Wang Lei dare to make a move? If he did, maybe I could have stayed longer; my happy life wouldn't have ended before it even began!"
Although I felt frustrated inside, as time passed, university life gradually resumed its normal pace. The troubles I'd stirred up were forgotten by others, allowing me to attend classes normally.
Time flew by quickly; before I knew it, the first week had passed. Initially, I planned to take advantage of the upcoming break to chat with Qu Liang about my thoughts and feelings. However, a phone call from Hu Yalong disrupted my plans.
As soon as I answered the call, Hu Yalong's excited voice came through the phone: " Brother Jiang Ling! Someone has come here looking for the person in charge of Ghost Street Shop. Do you want to come see?"
"I don't have time right now. You can handle his matters. If he doesn't want to, let him find another Ghost Street Shop," I said without hesitation. Just as I was about to hang up, Hu Yalong shouted anxiously, "Brother Jiang Ling, this is a million-dollar deal! That person only recognizes the store manager's name. Are you sure you won't take it?"
Hearing Hu Yalong's words, I hesitated for a moment. In the end, I decided to earn this money first and then treat Qu Liang well next weekend. "Fatty, let that person wait for a bit. I'll be there soon."
About half an hour later, I arrived outside He Ying's shop and spotted a red Maserati parked not far away. A glimmer flashed in my eyes as I straightened my clothes and walked into the shop at a leisurely pace.
I put on an air of a wise master and said somewhat pretentiously, "Hu Yalong, who is looking for my assistance?"
I scanned the shop and noticed Zhu Caini standing beside Hu Yalong and the others. Our eyes met for a brief moment, and feeling awkward, I touched my ear. It was hard to act cool when running into someone familiar.
"Zhu Caini, what a coincidence! What brings you here?" I smiled and waved at her, trying to maintain a nonchalant expression.
Zhu Caini shot me an annoyed glance before kicking Hu Yalong in the rear. Angrily, she said, "Hmph! You Fatty! How dare you invite a fraud to deceive me? Just wait until I smash your shop today!"
Hu Yalong rubbed his backside in grievance and hid behind me, saying, "Miss, let's talk nicely. Don't be so aggressive. This person is our Ghost Street Shop's deputy manager—no doubt about it."
I stepped forward and activated my Yin-Yang Eyes to examine Zhu Caini closely. I noticed a faint trace of demonic energy lingering around her. Frowning slightly, I said bluntly, "Zhu Caini, if you have something to say, don't just go around being unreasonable. If you continue to act so rudely, I might not accept your commission."
Zhu Caini placed her hands on her hips and coldly huffed, "Hmph! Jiang Ling, what are you so proud of? Fine! I won't ask you anymore. I don't believe there's no one else who can help me besides you."
With that, Zhu Caini pushed past me and quickly left the shop, driving off in the nearby Maserati before disappearing from sight.
Hu Yalong watched Zhu Caini leave and asked curiously, "Brother Jiang Ling, did something happen between you and that beauty? It feels like there's some tension between you two."
I saw Hu Yalong's gossiping expression and shook my head in disbelief. I slapped him lightly on the stomach and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Just focus on learning your Daoist Arts."
Hu Yalong rolled his eyes at me and replied irritably, " Brother Jiang Ling, just like that, a million is gone. Can't you soften up a bit with that beautiful lady and see if you can salvage anything? That's a million we're talking about."
During this time, Hu Yalong had been managing He Ying's shop and had gained some reputation in the area, earning a couple of thousand here and there. However, he had never encountered a single deal worth a million like Zhu Caini's before.
I patted Hu Yalong on the shoulder confidently and said, "Fatty, don't worry. Zhu Caini will come back to us; no one can take that million away. But for now, you need to prepare some things in advance because I'll need them later."
The reason I was so confident was that I had previously asked Lan Yue to investigate Zhu Caini's background and discovered that she was actually the younger sister of the Half-Wolf Demon, Zhu Dongdong. The reason she came to find me this time was likely related to Zhu Dongdong.
I made a list for Hu Yalong and the others to prepare, and seeing that it didn't take much time, I immediately headed to the bus station to continue pursuing my happy life.
