Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 404

A midnight snack of pickled cabbage noodles was cooked by Xu Qinglang. Old Xu personally rolled the noodles. The meal was refreshing, sprinkled with chopped green onions, stacked with shredded pickled cabbage meat, and sprinkled with a handful of basil.

The fragrance assailed the nose, making one’s appetite soar.

Cuihua woke up. She did not make a fuss after seeing Lawyer An. She quietly sat at the table. When Zhou Ze sat at the table, Cuihua looked at him twice. In her eyes, there wasn’t fear but provocation.

Zhou Ze shook his head. She really was a silly girl.

However, Boss Zhou also noticed that there were red threads tied around Cuihua’s neck and wrist. There weren’t any before. Zhou Ze was sure of it because he didn’t notice it when he poked her previously.

Without a doubt, it must have been added by Lawyer An. Typical Lawyer An. Even if he was facing his savior, he would be on guard.

The atmosphere at the dining table was very depressing. Lao Xu was currently on a diet. He could not eat although he was the one who made the supper.

The only other living person who could eat normally was still in prison. The table was full of ghosts who had difficulty eating.

Lawyer An looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze shook his head.

There was not much oral liquid from the Spider Lilies.

Everyone began to eat the noodles. They ate very elegantly, picking one by one. The only exception was Cuihua.

She ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. Then, she spat them out in big mouthfuls. She continued to eat the noodles in big mouthfuls and spit them out.

The people at the dining table looked at each other in dismay. They all put down their chopsticks in tacit understanding. As difficult as it was to eat the food, watching this scene made it more difficult. It could be seen that Cuihua ate in pain, but she ate heartily as if she had to work in the fields after eating.

In the end, she finished the noodles in front of her. She put down her chopsticks and patted her stomach. She let out a long sigh of relief.

“Uncle An, there’s no pickled cabbage to eat underground, hehehe.”

The silly girl was happy as she spoke.

“Cuihua, don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll send you to Hell comfortably.”

He had discussed this with Zhou Ze.

Cuihua looked at Lawyer An. Finally, she looked at Zhou Ze and said, “Uncle An, he inserted himself into me many times. In the wilderness, by the river, in the car… He inserted himself into me a few times when he had nothing to do. It hurts.”

“…” Zhou Ze.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Remember, help me send a message to my Fourth Brother.”

“Go ahead.”

“The heavens are watching. Don’t think that you can escape the eyes of the heavens just because you’ve become a Patrol Inspector.” Lawyer An spoke with a righteous air!

“Uncle An, the Fourth Master always said that you’re the cutest when you act like a righteous person.”

“…” Lawyer An.

“Alright, alright. I’ll look for him to settle this matter.”

Lawyer An was no longer the same as before. Back then, he had escaped from Hell and became a street rat. He had lived in fear for a period of time.

However, he made some friends with his business in the gray area even though he had lost his official position. Most importantly, he had a lot of information and evidence that would cause many factions in Hell to fear him. Unless those forces were confident that they could kill him easily, they really weren’t willing to fight him to the death.

Feng Si had enjoyed endless glory in Hell in front of him as a Patrol Inspector. However, Old An had a new thigh now. When this thigh grew a little thicker and he returned to Hell, who was Feng Si?!

Even the Ten Hades had to step aside!

“However, you have to do me a favor before I let you go.”

“The Fourth Master said that thieves don’t leave empty-handed.”

“…” Lawyer An.

“There are a few cute little animals in the study. They were injured previously, and they need your help to treat them. Once they’re treated, I’ll let you go back.”

“The Fourth Master said that I’m a fish on the chopping block.”

“Alright, enough nonsense. Can you start the treatment with your current condition?”

Lawyer An had already given up on communicating with Cuihua. He felt that if he continued, he would be unable to help but strangle her to death.

“The Fourth Master said that it’s fine even if you can’t.”

“Monkey Smash!” Zhou Ze shouted.

The Little Monkey immediately jumped onto the dining table and stared at Cuihua warily.

“Go to her place,” Zhou Ze ordered.

The Little Monkey walked over step by step.

Cuihua stretched out her hand and grabbed the monkey’s hands.

Cuihua closed her eyes and felt them for a while. Then, she opened her eyes and said, “This monkey… is so strange.”

“What’s strange about it?” Zhou Ze asked.

“This body…” Cuihua frowned. “Its body is too strange.”

Before the mountain-moving ape followed the death of the Lord of Mount Tai Prefecture, it used its own body as a medium. A medium to reconstruct the demon monkey that Zhou Ze had just killed and allowed to be reborn. It could be said that the Little Monkey had inherited part of the mountain-moving ape’s heritage.

Over the past few days, Lawyer An had concocted some medicine when he had nothing to do to help the Little Monkey recuperate. It had become extremely sturdy with this body.

Zhou Ze had always been easy-going towards the people in the bookstore. He would lie there every day to bask in the sun, and everyone would do whatever they wanted.

However, Lawyer An was different. He had always been making arrangements for Zhou Ze’s future subordinates. He did not let go of any power that he could borrow.

“Can you heal it?” Zhou Ze asked.

“I can only heal it a little. I can’t do it completely,” Cuihua said. “Cuihua will be sucked dry. The Fourth Master said that a desperate dog will jump over the wall.”

What she meant was that if he wanted her to squeeze herself dry to heal this monkey, she would rather fight it with all her might.

“Heal as much as you can,” Zhou Ze said.

As long as she gave the Little Monkey a head start, it would be the same as digging a canal. As for whether she could continue to draw in water, it was no longer a problem.

Cuihua closed her eyes. Blue liquid began to slowly flow out from her palm and enter the monkey’s body through her fingers.

The Little Monkey was a little baffled at first. Then, it seemed to feel a little itchy. Its body kept twisting.

The Little Monkey knew that it was preparing to save the Old Priest tomorrow so it had to persist no matter how itchy it was. Gradually, it seemed that the Little Monkey had also entered a state. It closed its eyes and motionlessly stood there.

After about ten minutes, Cuihua opened her tired eyes.

The calm Little Monkey suddenly became very irritable. It immediately flipped over and jumped onto the roof!

“Ah, the Little Monkey’s eyes have turned red!” Bai Yingying pointed at the top of its head and shouted.

“What’s going on?” Zhou Ze looked at Cuihua.

He subconsciously thought that this silly girl was playing tricks!

“The Fourth Master often said to me, ‘If you ask me, who should I ask?'”

“After the monkey’s soul was healed, it stimulated him to recall some things from his previous life. He even recalled the ruthlessness of his previous life!”

Lawyer An glanced at the monkey on the roof and immediately commanded Little Loli and Bai Yingying, “You guys guard the door and don’t let him out. We have to calm him down!”

Monkey’s tail was raised high. Standing on the beam, his scarlet eyes first swept towards Zhou Ze.

He remembered this man. He had never forgotten. It was this man who had used his fingernails to kill him!

For a moment, Zhou Ze clearly sensed the murderous intent emanating from Monkey’s body!

Boss Zhou was not afraid.

What a joke. He could have killed the monkey back and he could definitely kill him now in his current state.

However, he lowered his head. He looked at his right arm which was still recovering. Then, he looked at his left arm which was bandaged.

Boss Zhou moved closer to Bai Yingying.

Although the monkey had not fully recovered, it was no longer the monkey of the past.

As for himself, the current situation did not seem to be very optimistic.

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!!”

The monkey kept grinning as its claws scratched the ceiling. Red lines appeared on its forehead. The fur on its body grew longer. Even its body was much larger than before.

Black shadows kept swirling around the monkey.

“Whoosh!”

The monkey pounced down. Its target was Zhou Ze!

Zhou Ze’s expression did not change. At that moment, no matter how much sugar was added to the coffee and newspaper, it was useless. Even the idea of taking a bath and scrubbing his back before bed seemed ridiculous.

However, he still said in a deep voice, “Yingying!”

“Sob, Sob, Sob!”

The female zombie directly attacked him. She leaped up and grabbed the monkey’s tail before it could get close to her boss. Then, she directly threw it to the ground!

“Bang!”

A hole cracked through the floor.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath.

It wasn’t for the monkey’s pain but because the floor wasn’t cheap.

After the Old Priest was rescued, he would ask the Old Priest to pay for it. After all, he was the one who raised the monkey.

The monkey was hit hard but it bounced up as if nothing had happened.

“Trapped!”

Little Loli opened her mouth. She stuck out her tongue.

However, Little Monkey’s body was much bigger now, and he had become faster. With a leap, he bypassed Little Loli’s tongue.

“Evil creature, quiet down!”

Lawyer An made his move.

Little Monkey was either very afraid of Lawyer An or he was only interested in beating up Zhou Ze. He wasn’t interested in the others in the bookstore.

In his previous life, he had only taken revenge on the family of his enemy. He had not killed the innocent.

Little Monkey immediately retreated when Lawyer An approached. Then, he reached into his satchel and took out a book. Yes, the Yin-yang Book!

“Hiss…” Lawyer An sucked in a breath of cold air in surprise. “Why do you have the Yin-yang book?”

“I didn’t even know that you have this thing!”

Lawyer An looked at Zhou Ze in surprise and asked, “Why did you leave this thing to a monkey?”

The Yin-yang book had been stolen before and could no longer be used so Zhou Ze conveniently threw it to the monkey for safekeeping.

At that moment, facing Lawyer An’s questioning, Zhou Ze shrugged and nonchalantly said, “It’s fine. It doesn’t know how to use it.”

‘I don’t know how to use it either.’

What happened next froze the smile on Zhou Ze’s face.

Little Monkey raised the Yin-yang book.

“Zhi Zhi Zhi!!!”

Two beams of light immediately flew out from within the Yin-yang book.

One was black and the other was white.

Two great immortals of the Northeast who had been sealed in dust for so long made their grand entrance with tears in their eyes!!! They were almost forgotten and eaten by dust for half a year.
