Trafford’s Trading Club - Chapter 845

The butterfly demon beast, Luo Pianju, dipped her finger into the jar full of osmanthus honey and performed a small hook. Then, she put the finger covered with the golden yellow sweet liquid into her mouth and sucked it carefully, revealing a satisfied expression.

She thought the taste of osmanthus honey was a bit special, and it made her feel warm.

This reminded her of the old couple’s smile when she was in the steamed bun store. Perhaps this taste was called bliss? She suddenly felt a little reluctant to finish the jar of osmanthus honey at once.

Emm~.

But the little butterfly demon still dipped her finger four times into the jar and slurped the honey. Then, she warned herself to take one final slurp. When it was almost the eighty bite, she reluctantly closed the jar’s lid. She began to lick the remaining sweetness on her fingers before breathing out satisfyingly.

After calming down, Luo Pianju thought of Su Zijun. She recalled that she accompanied Zijun to repair the seal of the underground spiritual vein. After Zijun gave her something to eat, she seemed to fall asleep.

Luo Pianshu looked back at the cocoon that she had just crawled out of and blinked her eyes. She remembered that when she first evolved, she also formed a similar cocoon. But according to her memories, she should only turn into a cocoon once in her life.

Not only that, the demon beast power within her seemed to be much stronger.

Little butterfly demon, who didn’t understand what had happened to her, immediately thought of Su Zijun. She planned to approach her and ask about the situation.

But when she stood up, she realized that her body felt chilly. It turned out that she was naked at the moment. After all, the demon beast race was born to live in nature with their own body.

It was just that she had been in human society for some time. Hence, she had learned some of the human world’s courtesy, justice, and shame concepts, knowing that it was inappropriate to appear in front of people in nude. It was more so, especially if she exposed herself to the opposite sex like that.

Luo Pianju subconsciously recalled the memories when she had completed the first evolution of her life. She broke out from the cocoon and opened her eyes. After she saw Luo Qiu, the boss, her heart thumped.

Oops! I shouldn’t go out casually like this!

Luo Pianshu covered her face, and she realized it was a little warm. But this subconscious action made the honey jar that she had held in her hand suddenly dropped to the ground.

Luo Pian was startled. She then quickly reached out to catch it. She caught the honey jar in the end even though she was kneeling on the ground at the moment with her buttocks cocked up high and in an indescribable posture!

However, at least she caught the jar when it was about to touch the ground!

Otherwise, it would be too sinful to let this osmanthus honey filled with blissful taste spread all over the place! In this case, Luo Pianju felt that even her deceased mother would not forgive her.

Hu, lucky!”

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest a little. At this moment, Luo Pianju realized that something seemed wrong!

She looked down at her body, blinked her eyes, and then subconsciously lifted her hands toward her chest.

A heavy feeling spread out in her palm. Luo Pianshu subconsciously supported it.

En! Why has this place become so big?”

It was even more inappropriate for the butterfly demon to leave this place now!

Luo Pianju felt that she had encountered a huge problem and couldn’t help but frown. At this moment, a gift box that initially contained osmanthus honey suddenly spread out and then quietly turned into a light cluster.

While there was no wind, the light cluster slowly attached to the body of the little butterfly demon, gradually taking shape, and finally turned into a pink dress.

The colorful ribbon that initially wrapped the box gradually became larger. It finally wrapped around Luo Pianju’s waist, turning it into a belt, tightening the slightly loose skirt.

Luo Pianshu opened her mouth slightly. She hadn’t thought that the box had such a function. She picked up her skirt and slid it briskly. The lotus leaf-like skirt spread out as she danced in a rotation. The snow-white calf was also quietly exposed.

“Sister Zijun is so thoughtful!” Luo Pian smiled briskly. With this, she could go back to the hospital safely without fear of letting humans see her body.

The little butterfly demon naturally remembered the path to leave the cave.

As she emerged from the water, the sky had already gone dark. It turned out that it was nighttime. She went back to the hospital anxiously and spread her butterfly wings.

One pair, two pairs…three pairs.

To Luo Pian’s surprise, her butterfly wings had now completely changed their appearance. They were as thin as cicada wings and exuded gold and silver glimmers. The wings softly spread out one by one. When she opened these three pairs of wings, her body went out of control and soared to the sky in an instant.

Her speed was far beyond her past self. In the blink of an eye, she rose to an incredible height—above the clouds!

The temperature here was much higher than that of the underground. Luo Pianju felt a bit of chill, but her body stopped steadily above the clouds at this time.

Above her, the moon exuded a bright white light. As she stayed high above the clouds, she stared at the stars in the night sky like the last surviving elf.

She didn’t know why she came to this troubled world.

However, a vast black shadow suddenly came from the distance, as well as a loud noise, which made the slightly distracted little butterfly demon wake up in an instant. In front of her was the great masterpiece of the human world, an airplane!

The huge passenger plane followed the designated route at this time. Unfortunately, the plane didn’t seem to realize an innocent elf was in the night sky, and it slammed into it mercilessly.

Luo Pian was shocked. She dived down from the sky. The plane flew over her head quickly. The loud sound made her ears a little bit ache, and the airflow blew her into the distance simultaneously. She still hadn’t grown familiar with the newly developed wings.

Luo Pianjue was so frightened that her face paled. She felt that the deceased tree demon beast grandpa was right. The mortal human world was too dangerous.

She took a deep breath and held the honey jar with both hands. Then, she broke through the clouds again and fell towards the city below.

She went back to the mortal world again.

“Just now, did a stream of light pass by?”

In the business class of the passenger plane, a businessman-looking fellow asked his companion. But the companion didn’t notice it. Could I have been mistaken?

At this time, the flight attendant opened the curtain and walked into the business class section. She notified each passenger, “Hello, sir, the current indoor temperature is 23 degrees. The remaining flying duration is 2 hours and 35 minutes.”

“Give me some water.”

In the last row of business class, on the seat near the window, Wang Yuechuan at the window seat did not look back. He responded to the flight attendant through a simple request.

After the flight attendant brought the clear water, he raised the collar, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. His journey forward remained unknown.

The snowfall for Christmas didn’t last long.

The snow quickly turned into small puddles in the city and soon disappeared without leaving any traces. Everything happened like a dream.

People would never forget that this Christmas Eve in the South.

Before midnight, Li Zi separated from Ren Ziling in front of the plaza. She trotted ahead alone, then turned around at the corner of the road. She raised her arm and waved and finally disappeared in the corner.

Ren Ziling looked at Luo Qiu at this time and lamented. Every time she watched Li Zi disappear at the corner of the road, she felt concerned, as if Li Zi would disappear and never be seen again.

She felt Li Zi was lonely. Li Zi came to this city alone, without even a family member accompanying her.

“Perhaps she already has one,” commented Luo Qiu casually.

Whether it was the accessory Luo Qiu had on his hand, the gift to You Ye, or Ren Ziling’s necklace, the crystals embedded in them were actual tears.

The ice’s tears.

It was not easy for the indifferent ice to shed tears. Once it did, it must have been a heartache.

Ren Ziling lowered her head to play with the necklace around her neck. She liked this necklace. After Li Zi gifted it, she immediately put it on, “Hmm.”

She smiled.

At this time, only her, Luo Qiu, and You Ye were left. Aunt Ren took a deep breath at this moment. She quietly pulled Luo Qiu to a corner, then looked around mysteriously. She quickly stuffed a card in Boss Luo’s hand. Then, she hurriedly turned around and left, saying that she could go back alone. It didn’t matter if Luo Qiu didn’t come back tonight.

Aunt Ren moved so fast; there was no room for Luo Qiu to speak.

Luo Qiu looked at the card in his hand and turned around. It was a hotel whose name was written on it. This hotel was one of the most expensive in the city. So this card was the key card of the hotel room.

“She’s really willing to pay for it.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly.

With his eyes closed, he could imagine Ren Ziling’s sour face when she paid for the room.

Luo Qiu naturally didn’t want to stay in the hotel suite. However, if he didn’t check-in, Ren Ziling would inevitably nag. So he went through the check-in procedure. After entering the room, he went back to the club directly from the hotel suite.

He came to the room on the third floor in the club alone.

The third Golden Silver Card obtained in the Yan Wuyue World was suspended on his palm at this time.

This wasn’t the first time Luo Qiu saw the altar in another form. In the past, he had successfully embedded two Golden Silver Cards in the hidden altar’s second form.

Without any hesitation, Luo Qiu inserted the Golden Silver Card into the pillar extended from the altar. The third Golden Silver Card suddenly brightened and then plunged directly into a groove on the pillar.

When a Golden Silver Card was inserted for the very first time, the second form of altar projected gray-white earth in front of Luo Qiu.

Later, the former boss asked Eric to send over a Golden Silver Card. After Luo Qiu inserted the second card, there was no new change here. However, Luo Qiu progressed through a stage and opened the Border Gate for the club. The boss’s capability was promoted to an incredible level too.

Since the second Golden Silver Card insertion, Luo Qiu had completed a transformation during the Golden Week on that isolated island. It was a spiritual ascent which he couldn’t tell.

When the third Golden Silver Card was inserted, Luo Qiu felt utterly different from before. The altar in front of him seemed to come alive in an instant.

In the past, the communication between him and this altar had always been a kind of communication on the spiritual level, and the feeling that this altar gave off was lifeless. It was as if the altar was a well-designed mechanism. Although Luo Qiu had tried his best to make up for the altar’s voice to make himself feel better, it was still his imagination.

The altar still had no emotional fluctuations, as if it were just an object.

But at this moment, the altar gave off a sense of vigor which amazed Luo Qiu. Luo Qiu was about to decipher it carefully, but the feeling faded suddenly.

It felt like a person had fallen asleep – the person suddenly opened his eyes but just opened it for a moment and fell asleep again deeply.

But, the altar was alive!

“This time, it just lets me confirm that the altar is alive.” Luo Qiu murmured.

Although this discovery was considered to be important, it was far from the final surprise. Luo Qiu shook his head. Just as he was about to restore the altar to its first form, a colossal hourglass gradually appeared in front of Luo Qiu!

This hourglass was also the image projected by the altar’s second form. It appears before the gray earth, and the two were almost in opposition.

Luo Qiu frowned.

This newly projected hourglass was similar to the hourglass that counted his lifespan when he first became the club owner. At that time, the hourglass calculated his remaining lifespan, which was only 30 days back then.

This hourglass still existed, but the timespan went much longer. After an extended period, only the hourglass of his lifespan would drop a speck of small sand reluctantly.

“The hourglass is a time counter.” Luo Qiu pondered for a moment and said to himself, “If I continue to collect the Golden Silver Card, will that allow the sand in the hourglass to flow one day?”

So, when the sand of this hourglass runs out, what will happen?

“It’s time to see the outside world…”

Luo Qiu muttered to himself. The second form of altar also began to disappear gradually.

Opening the security door of the house, Subeditor Ren still looked dejected since Luo Qiu won’t be waiting for her in the living room now.

Ren Ziling dropped her hands like zombies, hooked with her feet to close the door. Then, she dragged her hollow body back to the room.

She didn’t change her clothes but just lay directly on the bed.

But she felt as if something hard was against her abdomen. Ren Ziling frowned and rolled sideways reluctantly. She reached out her hand and took out a rectangular box under the quilt.

A note was posted on it: Merry Christmas.

That was Luo Qiu’s handwriting.

Ren Ziling was startled and muttered, “I forgive you, brat. Don’t forget this old lady when you get a wife. But, wait, the shape of this box. I hope nothing weird is in it.”

Ren Ziling shuddered at once and quickly opened the box violently. She revealed a thick, long, cylinder-shaped item—a thermos flask. It was convenient to put in the car’s storage compartment.

Ren Ziling looked at the insulated bottle and suddenly burst into laughter. She just took it as a cheap item and went to sleep slowly.

The festive decorations in the club lobby seemed like a waste.

The boss and the maid were not there all night.

Luo Qiu exited from the third floor. When he appeared at the lobby entrance, the maid, sitting still on the chair, opened her eyes and was about to get up.

But Luo Qiu waved his hand at this time, motioning that You Ye didn’t have to stand up.

The maid showed a puzzled look. Luo Qiu didn’t explain. He just looked at the layout around the lobby and said, “It feels a bit wasted.”

You Ye whispered, “If you consider the time zone difference, Christmas Eve hasn’t passed yet.”

“That’s right.” Luo Qiu smiled and suddenly snapped his fingers. The turntable, which was quietly placed in the corner of the lobby, automatically turned on at this time.

A vinyl disc flew into the turntable at this time and then slowly rotated under the stylus, like a black vortex. It was as if the music from the eternally distant time and space began to sound.

It was the song from a fantasy movie about a ring many years ago: “May-It-Be.” [1]

—May it be an evening star

—Shines down upon you

—May it be when darkness falls

—Your heart will be true

“Isn’t “Amazing-Grace” more befitting?” You Ye blinked and asked curiously.

Luo Qiu walked towards her.

Luo Qiu came to You Ye and took her hand gently, “You are my grace.”

Luo Qiu gently kissed the back of You Ye’s hand and then whispered, “May I?”

It was an invitation to a dance.
