Chapter 45: Simple Quest (8)

Long Qisheng pointed to the porcelain bowl and asked, "Miss Junru, this bowl is very beautiful, where did you buy it?" ”

"You think it's good-looking, too." Junru's smile had a touch of tenderness and affection: "My husband bought this set of bowls, and I don't know where he bought it, but I like it very much when I see it." ”

Long Qisheng looked at the pot: "Miss Junru, can you lend me four pairs of chopsticks, my friend forgot to bring them." ”

"Well, you can take it yourself!"

After extinguishing the fire, Long Qisheng put the rice in a jar, returned to the courtyard with four pairs of chopsticks, and handed the bowl to Xin Bailu:

"Sister Lulu, try this?"

"Bowl?" Xin Bailu was a little confused.

"This bowl was brought by Che Jingxing from Xuanqing City, I just think it's too strange to carry a set of utensils with them for such a big thing as taking his wife to the Void Spirit Realm, so this set of utensils may have a different meaning for them."

Long Qisheng explained.

"I see."

Xin Bailu thought that what Long Qisheng said made sense, she held the bowl in both hands, closed her silver-gray eyes, and her amber eyes glowed with a faint golden light, staring at the bowl in her hand.

Gradually, the porcelain bowl glowed with a golden glow like grains of sand.

Grains of light flew and spread outward, and in a few moments, the small area was shrouded in golden light.

Everything is hazy.

Including four members of the Wild Bee Squad.

Only two things are clear.

The set of bowls, as well as Junru.

The hazy air rippled like water waves, and as the ripples spread, the surroundings became clear again, but it was not the wooden house anymore.

It is a bright and spacious storefront with elegantly designed shelves lined with large and small porcelain, which flows with a charming sheen under the light.

It's getting late outside, and a girl is sweeping the floor, which looks like it's going to close.

This girl is Junru.

Junru cleaned very seriously, and didn't even glance at Long Qisheng and the four of them.

Long Qisheng turned his head to look at Xin Bailu, who was a little illusory, and explained with a smile: "She can't see us. ”

I see......

At this time, the crisp bell sounded, and Jun Ru looked up and saw a guest coming in, so he immediately put down the broom and trotted forward to greet him: "Welcome!" ”

The guest who came was none other than Che Jingxing, who was still very young and handsome at this time, and he should have just become a spirit chaser, and he was still wearing the uniform of a spirit chaser.

At this time, Che Jingxing didn't know Junru, and after seeing the works of several porcelain masters under Junru's introduction, he didn't see anything satisfactory.

"Don't guests like these styles of porcelain?"

Che Jingxing frowned: "With all the bells and whistles, looking dizzy, I just want to buy a set of bowls for eating, is there anything clean." ”

Jun Ru was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Guest, we are selling art, not tableware......"

Che Jingxing glanced at her: "The vase is used to arrange flowers, the cup is used to drink water, the bowl is used to eat, and the plate is used to hold vegetables. ”

"Uh...... Ha...... Haha......"

Jun Ru was speechless, and her toes slammed into the ground in embarrassment.

After Che Jingxing finished the straight man's speech, he walked around the store again, turned to the cash register, and saw a small open box on the table, in which a set of porcelain bowls was placed.

White glaze, painted with cyan flowers and grass patterns, fresh and elegant.

Che Jingxing's eyes lit up and picked up a bowl: "How much is this?" ”

"Huh?!" Junru was a little flustered: "Guest, this is my porcelain homework, the teacher said it was unqualified, so I threw it away and redid it...... This...... If you can't sell it, it will ruin the reputation of the store......"

"I just like this." Che Jingxing directly picked up the small box: "I want it, how much is it?" ”

"Ah......h

Jun Ru saw Che Jingxing's firm expression, and said helplessly: "My work is not qualified to be sold in the store, if the customer likes it, I will give it to you, anyway, I plan to take it home and use it myself." ”

"No, how can I take your stuff for nothing?" Che Jingxing shook his head.

Jun Ru also shook her head: "I can't collect money, and if the teacher knows that I sell my substandard works in the store without permission, I will be fired!" ”

Junru explained clearly, and Che Jingxing did not insist, but swept Junru's bracelet and added her friend, picked up the small box and said:

"Thank you for the gift, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

"Huh? I don't have time to ...... tomorrow."

"I'll pick you up at seven o'clock tomorrow night, that's it!"

After Che Jingxing finished speaking, he turned around and left in style, leaving the sluggish Junru.

……

The light dissipated, and the picture of the memory disappeared.

"Snort~~"

Long Hao couldn't help laughing: "Is this the legendary domineering president and the cute little clerk?" It's been knocked on! ”

Then he sighed: "What a good pair, how did it become what it is now......"

"This set of bowls turned out to be the beginning of their fate, no wonder Che Jingxing would bring ......" Xin Bailu sighed and looked at Long Qisheng:

"Long Qisheng, you go and see Junru, she should have recalled this incident."

"Okay, Sister Lulu."

Long Qisheng got up and knocked on the door, Xin Bailu was silent, and his face was a little sad.

Mo Xun squeezed her hand.

Xin Bailu turned her head, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Long Qisheng knocked for a while before Junru opened the door.

"Miss Junru, the bowl is ready, I'll put it back!"

Jun Ru was a little distracted, nodded and let Long Qisheng into the house, and gently closed the door, even forgetting the latch.

Long Qisheng put the bowl away, and after a quick search in the kitchen, he didn't see anything special, so he left.

When I came out, I saw Jun Ru still standing in front of the door in a daze, with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss Junru?" Long Qisheng looked at her with concern: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Huh?"

Jun Ru came back to her senses at this time, barely pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's just that I just had a strange dream......"

"You haven't slept, how can you dream?" Long Qisheng reminded her euphemistically.

Jun Ru was stunned and said, "Yes...... I didn't sleep, how could I dream......"

"Miss Junru, I see that you are not in good spirits, so let's rest early!"

"Hmm...... Good ......"

Jun Ru opened the bedroom door and walked in, closing the door gently, and even forgot to let Long Qi out.

Long Qisheng didn't move, but waited for a while, and only when Jun Ru's even breathing came from the bedroom did he turn around and walk to another closed door.

As soon as he entered the door, Long Qisheng frowned.

In contrast to the warmth of the exterior home, the furnishings in this room are distinctly ethereal, with strange skeletal mechanical structures and tentacle-like pipes scattered throughout, forming bookshelves, cabinets, tables, and what appears to be a workbench.

The shelves are littered with scrolls made of animal skins and wood chips, which look very rough and handmade.

Long Qisheng opened the cabinet, and there were some strange things in it, and he didn't recognize any of them.

There is also a cabinet that cannot be opened.

Long Qisheng didn't find where the lock was, and it was estimated that it was a special method to open it.

It is estimated that it contains some precious materials from the Ethereal Spirit Realm, such as medicinal materials for Junru Pharmaceutical.

None of this worked, he wanted to find something that was like those bowls, brought from the living world and meaningful to Junru.

But after rummaging through the cabinets, I found nothing.

There are three possibilities, one is that the things that Che Jingxing brought from Xuanqing City are really only that set of bowls, the second is that there are other things, but they are placed in the bedroom, and the third is ...... In that cabinet that can't be opened.

Long Qisheng crouched in front of the cabinet again, stroking the abstract patterns carved on the door panel.

The patterns felt familiar to him, and they seemed to be the same style as those on the door of the Ethereal Room during his first mission.

He pressed his palm against the pattern, slowly infusing the spiritual energy.

Click!

There was a crisp mechanical sound in the cabinet, and the door popped open a crack.

Long Qisheng was stunned!

"Anyone can open it? Is it so casual?! ”

"It can't be a trap......

Thinking of this, Long Qisheng got up and took a few steps back, staring at the cabinet vigilantly.

The cabinet didn't move.

It just opened a thin gap, revealing a deep darkness, as if to lure people to open it and find out.

After thinking for a moment, Long Qisheng walked over and opened the cabinet door!

A blanket of white occupies his sight!

Countless white petals erupted and sprayed him all over his face!

Subsequently, he was buried alive in the ground.
