Im Not A Demon Lord's

Chapter 33

“True and false, false and true.” Situ He began to think of this sentence.

Spiritual light rays rolled like a tsunami in his mind, like a lightning strike…

“Iya!” He thought, “Soul is nothing ... and spirit is invisible ..”

“True and false, false and true, it is a smooth repentance!”

Suddenly he realized that he had opened a good door.

His body, which had been stagnant for a long time, showed signs of sagging again.

“If I could see through the mysteries of the soul,” thought, “I would be able to replace the Governor!”

At this moment, Situ He had no more doubts.

The monsters in this bookstore must be extremely powerful Ancient Gods.

He must have just woken up from an eternal slumber.

Perhaps he had come from the edge of the endless galaxy after sensing the signs of Spirit Aura recovery.

In short, he was a powerful existence that Situ He could neither predict nor understand.

Situ He's expression and tone of voice immediately changed.

For the first time, he began to use honorifics. “Your Honor,” she asked, “I wonder if you are willing to hand this precious book to me?”

…

“Of course I will. It's for sale. ” Ling PingAn ignored the language used by this customer. He thought maybe it was just his habit.

After all, as innocent as the Federal Empire was, it contained all kinds of people.

It used to be when Ling PingAn graduated from university, there was a group of young men who yearned for the previous dynasty and who wore clothes from the previous dynasty and pretended that they were from the previous dynasty. The only thing they did not do was raise a banner that read, May the Ming Dynasty rise again.

They have been shut down by university counselors and teachers.

They can barely get a graduation certificate.

Therefore, Ling PingAn answered him straightforwardly. He rubbed his palm and said excitedly, “That's for sure!”

He even took out two cards from the drawer and put them on the counter, our “Store supports Scan to Pay and QR.” payment

“We also support IOU and loan.”

“If you use Scan to Pay, you will be able to enjoy 9.2 percent discount today and you can also participate in Star Spender event and get a chance to win free book.”

However, Ling PingAn suddenly realized that his customer looked strange after he saw the two cards he took out.

Ling PingAn could only ask gently, “What's wrong? Is there a problem, sir? ”

“Maybe we can negotiate the price..” To reach this deal, Ling PingAn has no low limit or attitude of a profiteer. He immediately gave up on the price.

But little did he know that when he took out those two cards, Situ He saw something completely different from what Ling PingAn saw.

…

“It will be !”

Situ He was startled by this sentence, and he stood there thinking about what the Ancient Gods actually meant by what he said.

Then, suddenly, two terrifying cards had been taken out of his drawer by the Ancient Gods and placed in front of Situ He.

On one card, a bit of blood and tears dripped from him.

The suffering souls seemed to be rustling in it.

Whirls that can be identified as bad things in an instant spin on the front of the card.

Other cards also feature ghosts and twisted monsters on them. The evil and frightening gibberish of this twisted creature could be heard by Situ He's ears, causing him to retreat in shock and fear.

“Our shop supports Scan to Pay and QR payment,” says the weirdo in front of him gently.

“We also support IOU and loan.”

“If you use Scan to Pay, you will enjoy 9.2 percent discount today, and you can also participate in Star Spender events and get a chance to win free books.”

What seemed ordinary became completely unrecognizable due to the two terrifying evil cards that had been placed in front of him.

That's where he has feelings.

If he actually took out his phone to scan the payment code, which would be deducted would definitely not be his bank account balance, it would be his soul and lifetime.

He also felt that if his soul and life were not enough, the price would move to his children and grandchildren.

This was not something he thought was impossible!

Among the Shang people of Beizhou and Nanzhou, some transcendent beings can awaken magic that can cast a curse on one's descendants.

Some alien species in Fusang and Nanyang have even been bloodline curse experts before.

If this Ancient God in front of him cursed his descendants .. he was afraid that it could become a taboo-level curse that was impossible to remove!

Thinking of all this, Situ He swallowed vigorously. With trembling hands, he wants to ask, “Can I buy it?”

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Situ He felt that there was a rope around his neck that was slowly tightening. He felt as if he had been entangled by something.

Then he knows. This is a gangster inn.

Anyone who walked into this place and saw the goods of the store owner had to buy some, even if they did not want to.

The shop owner sold his goods by force.

But what can he do?

Regarding stores that oppress their customers, this was something that no one could solve since ancient times.

He didn't realize what he had to do.

From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a kitten crouching on the shoulder of an Ancient God.

Then he remembered.

All gods love sacrifice.

And he happened to be carrying a funeral item that might be enough to be a victim.

After thinking about it carefully, Situ He gritted his teeth, removed the item from his belt, and handed it over.

Your Majesty, can I use this item to exchange with you? he asked nervously. “Because I really can't afford anything now..”.

Would he dare to pay with things like his own soul and life span?

Nah!

Moreover, he also did not wish to harm his descendants.

…

“One more without money?” Ling PingAn felt as if he was about to vomit blood.

He painstakingly made a deal.

And, in the end, that jerk had no money.

He actually has no money!

A young woman with no money, well, that's one thing.

But this is the adult man he's dealing with here. And he didn't look like someone who was short of money, judging by his clothes.

Why doesn't he have money?

What's more, if he doesn't have the cash…

You don't even have a single account on your phone?

Is he trying to trick me?

Or maybe he was just a miserable husband, who after being married for decades and, in the eyes of outsiders, with a stable job, a happy family, and blessed with many children, he said, it is actually someone who needs his wife's consent to even buy a pack of cigarettes. Maybe his wife limited his money on his cell phone and his wallet was just enough to take a taxi to and from work and breakfast.

Ling PingAn wondered about all this ..

Until his attention is focused on the goods that have been handed over by his customers.

It was a bronze ship the size of a fist.

Judging from its appearance, it seemed like it was some kind of instrument shaped like a ferocious beast

From the outside, it seems to feel the changes of time and age.

Antiques?

Ling PingAn first frowned in concentration, then he smiled, “Is this thing from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties?”

The customer nodded. “Sharp eyes, Your Highness!”

“It was indeed from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties!”

Ling PingAn smiled.

To be honest, his skill set seemed unrivalled.

It had a human face and a goat body. The head is very symmetrical and has a wide open mouth in the middle. It was very alive. One can say that it is a professional workmanship product.

“This must be Taotie.” Ling PingAn weighed it in his hand. “Not bad!”

It's useless to him.

But her little aunt would love it.

Ling PingAn was worried about how he would deal with his little aunt who would return from Beizhou in the next six months.

Now, it's decided.

With this artwork, she would be able to make her little aunt happy and let her aunt feel filial piety. His little aunt liked these kinds of items from the Shang, Zhou, and Qin Dynasties. This will make him very happy.

Thinking of all this, Ling PingAn nodded and said, “Alright, I guess I'll take a little loss and trade it for you.”

It's true!

From Ling PingAn's point of view, he was definitely the one who suffered losses.

After all, even though his book, “The Unsolved Mysteries of the World”, was clearly not worth that much, he would be able to sell it or even after some bargaining.

This type of taotie is probably the most widely sold in handicraft stores.

He suffered a considerable loss.

But it is hard to buy happiness with money.

Especially her little aunt's happiness.

So he put the stuff in the drawer.

…

Situ He watched the Ancient God play around with Taotie as if it was a toy. This Taotie, who he could not even conquer and who he relied on on the Governor's seal to keep him under control …

He lowered his head deeply.

This taotie has been found in the tomb of the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

When it was first discovered, it immediately caused a sensation.

Because it's alive.

People do not know if a great power in ancient times had turned a surviving child of Taotie into bronze, or had the bronze been made by the ancient people who turned it into a Taotie child after a long period of time.

Anyway, this thing is alive.

He can eat and run.

It had a terrifying appetite, and its power surpassed imagination.

After being discovered, within half an hour he had swallowed the entire tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty Emperor and all the surrounding flowers and trees.

It was fortunate that the Governor was already in Chang’an back then.

It was because of his timely actions in suppressing this creature that there were no casualties.

Nor did it manage to devour the entire Guanzhong Basin.

Although the Governor had suppressed it, even for the Governor himself this was unregulated and showed his teeth that looked ferocious. It could only be sealed and detained using secret methods.

However, right now, this extremely arrogant Taotie, who did not even take the Governor seriously, was acting as gentle as a domestic puppy in the hands of this Ancient God.

What's more…

Situ He could sense that Taotie was currently feeling terror.

Even afraid to move.

His eyes were tightly shut, pretending to be dead like hedgehogs in front of his natural enemies.

Situ He decided he did not dare to linger anymore.

He picked up the book and was about to say goodbye.

Then he thought of a problem. He turned around and said to the Ancient God at the counter, “Your Majesty, I have one more request ..”

“Mist outside is very thick..”

“Can I borrow a flashlight from you?”

…

Ling PingAn looked at this customer standing in front of him.

He thought about his request for a moment. Considering doing business is intended to save you from running out of stuff, especially for bookstores that rely heavily on customers who revisit the store.

So he nodded, took the flashlight from the drawer, and handed it over.

This flashlight doesn't cost a lot of money.

He got it from a wholesaler at a nearby mall who went bankrupt and was cleaning up their stock some time ago.

He got 100 of them.

Back then, Ling PingAn did not think too much about it. He just bought it because it was cheap.

He didn't realize it until he brought them back home. He couldn't possibly use so many flashlights even his entire life.

Now, by giving it to its customers as a gift, it could be considered as the use of waste products.

Situ He took a flashlight and let out a long sigh.

Then he looked at the Ancient God in front of him and bowed with folded arms. “Your Highness, I wonder if I can return to your place someday?”

“Of course!” Ling PingAn replied with pleasure. “Remember to bring money next time.”

“I do business to make money,” he said seriously.

Although Ling PingAn was actually unconcerned about money.

For example, for several years he wrote an online novel, the money he earned was barely enough to cover his daily expenses.

But he doesn't care. He's enjoying.

The bookstore did not give him any money.

If he could sell it, he could make tens of millions of dollars.

But he wanted to stay here and run the shop alone.

After all, he was not short of money.

However, the problem was that if he continued to walk on with zero earnings, it would be difficult to maintain appearances.

It would also be difficult for him to answer his little aunt's question.

What if her little aunt thought she had no business sense and forced her to go to work in the office?

“Understanding!” Situ He nodded, then after thinking for some time, he asked carefully, “Can I bring my friends too?”

Ling PingAn was overjoyed. He immediately nodded, “Of course!”

“Take all your friends!”

Why would someone in business ever think that they have too many customers?

In Ling PingAn's mind, of course, it would be more, better.

But of course…

It shouldn't be too many people. He doesn't like having customers all the time.

Mmm, three to five customers is enough for one day.

For the rest of the time, he wanted to relax, play games, and write novels.

…

That's where he swallowed.

At this moment, he completely dispelled the idea of inviting the Governor to come.

This Ancient God …

Not scared.

Considering everything that had just happened, how could Situ He dare to let the Governor set foot in this place?

What if even the Governor is placed under the control of this person?

Wouldn't the world be completely turned upside down !?

He paid his respects for the last time, opened the door, and walked out of the shop.
