Chapter 50: The Fierce Beast Qiongqi



Shangguan Qing stood outside the car door and hesitated for a long time. He had also been waiting inside the car.

The autumn wind continued to blow on her, and the sparse dead leaves also rolled a few times on the roadside.

"Ms. Shangguan, we can't stop here for too long, please get in the car quickly." Li Yang assisted.

After he finished speaking, Shangguan Qing got into the car.

The car turned around and headed towards Dengqing Antique Shop.

"Are you still dating him?" Cheng Ji asked coldly, looking out the window.

Her lips opened and closed, and finally only one word came out, "...Yeah."

"Here's yours." She took out the diamond necklace from her bag. "You don't have to thank me this way."

The clear and bright teardrop-shaped diamond necklace seemed even more dazzling in her fair palm.

Cheng Ji said quietly, "Once you give it away, there is no reason to take it back. If you don't like it, just throw it away."

It was like throwing him away.

Shangguan Qing was speechless, "......"

She collected the necklace again and put it back in her bag.

Cheng Ji continued to look out the window.

Her profile was clearly reflected in the tightly closed dark-colored car window.

The small face, exquisite curves, bright and eye-catching facial features, and the pair of smart and clear eyes are the most attractive.

Inside the car, it was so quiet that one was at a loss.

Shangguan Qing turned his head and asked, "Have you been to the orphanage?"

"I'm going." He looked away and met her gaze.

"Next time you take me with you."

After that, she felt that she had no reason to order him, so she asked gently, "Is it okay?"

"Okay, but don't you seem to be overly concerned about this orphanage?"

"I know a sister who was bullied at Sunshine Orphanage, so I want to know what's going on and if there are other kids who are being bullied."

Since this matter will be found out sooner or later.

It would be better to tell the truth and speed up the process.

Cheng Ji's eyes instantly became deep. He looked at Li Yang who was driving and ordered, "Arrange for all the children in the orphanage to have a comprehensive physical examination, especially a mental health assessment, to ensure that no child is harmed in any way."

"Also, investigate whether there have been any unusual incidents in the orphanage recently. Don't miss any details."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word revealed his unquestionable determination.

Xiaoying's eyes asking for help kept appearing in his mind.

If everything is true.

Then Sunshine Orphanage will be a hell funded by the Cheng family.

Li Yang, "Yes, Mr. Cheng!"

The Maybach slowly stopped in front of Dengqing Antique Shop.

He turned sideways, his eyes gently fell on Shangguan Qing, and said softly: "We are here. I will find out about the orphanage as soon as possible and give you an explanation."

Shangguan Qing nodded slightly, she pushed open the car door, and the autumn breeze blew on her face again.

The wind at the seaside is more biting.

Cheng Ji also got out of the car and walked towards her quickly.

Shangguan Qing watched him walk towards her step by step. He took off his suit jacket and put it on her.

"The weather is getting colder, remember to wear more clothes."

The man's body temperature penetrated her skin and went straight to her heart.

She was stunned for a moment before she slowly said, "Thank you."

Youxuan stood at the door and watched the fun until the Maybach gradually went away and disappeared from his sight.

He walked quickly to Shangguan Qing's side, looking gossipy, "Sir, are you and Cheng Ji together again?"

Shangguan Qing shot him a cold look, "Do you know what will kill the cat?"

"Cats? What's this about cats?"

Youxuan scratched his head, somewhat confused.

While he was still thinking hard, Shangguan Qing had already walked into the store and stared at the date on the calendar.

It's the last day.

After midnight tonight, everything will be fine.

Everything will go back to the beginning...

It was past eight o'clock in the evening and there were fewer stars in the autumn night.

Shangguan Qing sat at the front desk, lying on the table, playing with his phone out of boredom, waiting for his spiritual power to recover at midnight.

Sudden!

There was an unprecedented violent tremor, which made the whole store shake like an earthquake.

The objects on the table were shaking and making harsh collision sounds.

There was even a large object that almost lost its balance and fell over. Fortunately, Youxuan was quick to right it.

"Sir, what's going on outside?"

Dengqing Antique Shop is protected by spiritual power, and with the offerings throughout the shop, ordinary earthquakes will not affect it at all.

For it to shake like this, someone must have done it on purpose.

And the other party’s ability is not low.

“Not sure yet.”

She walked quickly to the window, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Not only was the antique shop shaking, the sea outside was also extremely turbulent, with waves reaching several stories high. The scattered moonlight shining on the sea seemed to be ferocious.

It felt like the antique shop was about to be flooded in the next second.

In the moonlight, she could vaguely see a pair of eyes flashing with a faint green light staring at the shop.

As it got closer, Shangguan Qing gradually saw its appearance clearly.

Qiongqi?

It’s actually Qiongqi, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts!

It looks like a tiger, is as big as a cow, has a pair of wings, has a ferocious temperament, likes to eat people, is disloyal and untrustworthy, does not listen to good people, and only believes in the bad words of others.

No wonder the sea is so turbulent.

Rumor has it that he is the descendant of the God of Wind, so can't he control the strong wind?

Youxuan knew the power of the ancient ferocious beast, an existence that even Hades might not be able to subdue.

In front of the strong, he subconsciously felt afraid.

Youxuan pulled Shangguan Qing's sleeve, his voice trembling, "Sir, what should we do? It seems to be coming towards us!"

There must be a reason why he came to cause trouble for her for no reason.

She pushed Youxuan's hand away and said, "No matter what happens later, don't come out. It's not powerful enough to destroy all the offerings with heavy resentment."

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out of the antique shop.

As soon as she took a step, the strong wind cut her skin like a knife.

I saw wounds appearing one after another on my body, and blood was constantly oozing out.

She didn't have the spiritual power to repair the wound now, so she could only let it dry up under the biting autumn wind.

"What are you doing here?" Shangguan Qing stared at the beast that was older than her and asked, "You and I have no grudges against each other, why are you making such a big fuss?"

With one leap, Qiongqi closed the distance of several hundred meters in an instant.

It stopped steadily in front of her, so close that the hot air from its nostrils could blow on her face.

So dirty...

Shangguan Qing took a step back in disgust.

Qiongqi folded his wings and pressed them against his back.

"I want something from you."

It cast its eyes towards the wall of the antique shop, and a model of a dagger soon appeared on the wall.

Shangguan Qing recognized that this was the dagger that she asked Youxuan to give to Hades for safekeeping.

Why is Mu Cheng looking for it, and why is it, an ancient ferocious beast, also looking for it?

"I don't have it here," she asked, looking up, "what are you looking for it for?"

Qiongqi kicked the ground and the ground began to shake again.

This time the distance was too close and Shangguan Qing was knocked to the ground.

"It's impossible that it didn't. I sensed that it had lit up here before!" It flapped its wings angrily. "You are all liars. You just want me dead!"

What's the matter of death?

She had never thought that she would have to deal with ferocious beasts in her life.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Shangguan Qing felt like he was about to be blown away by it.

"Really? Why would I lie to you?" She asked anxiously, "How about I help you find it? But you have to tell me, what do you want it for?"

After saying this, Qiongqi seemed to calm down a little.

Shangguan Qing continued, "I am in charge of the Netherworld in the underworld. I can understand everything about the human world just by looking at the Book of Life and Death, so I can definitely help you find it with half the effort!"

The beast seemed to listen to what she said.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of her in the form of a man.

"Are you sure you can help me?" He took two steps forward, his eyes earnest.

Shangguan Qing nodded impatiently, "Yeah!"

She looked at him carefully. He looked strong and had a sturdy build, but he was simple-minded and liked to use brute force.

This kind of man is not good!

"Then tell me what you want it for first?" she asked.

"The dagger is made of ancient black stone. If someone uses it to kill me, I will either die or be seriously injured. I have never found it since I lost it."

It turns out that the knife holds this secret.

Then why did Mu Cheng go to so much trouble to find it?

Does he want to kill Qiongqi?

Shangguan Qing collected his thoughts in the mess and said, "I'll help you look for it and see if I can find it."

“Also, next time, please don’t make it look like murder!” She pointed inside the store, “You can’t afford to pay for all these treasures of mine even if you are an ancient beast.”

The four fierce beasts were all extremely poor.

Qiongqi was too lazy to argue with her, "I'll come see you again in a few days."

After he transformed into a ferocious beast again and flapped his wings and flew away, Youxuan carefully opened the door of the shop and poked his head out little by little.

"Sir, you deceived Qiongqi. What if it finds out later?"

Wasn't it she who gave the dagger to Hades?

There is no need to look for it, and there is no question of whether you can find it or not.

Shangguan Qing looked at the calm sea with deep eyes, "I'm afraid there are more secrets in that dagger."

"Let's go to bed and don't wait until the early morning." She yawned, feeling very sleepy.

......

In the morning, the sun just rose.

It's a few degrees colder at the seaside.

“Knock knock!”

"Miss Shangguan? Miss Shangguan?"

Li Yang kept knocking on the door and calling her.

Shangguan Qing rubbed his eyes, walked down from the sofa, and opened the door impatiently.

"What's the matter?" She frowned, feeling a little depressed.

"Mr. Cheng asked me to drive you to Sunshine Orphanage," he explained, "Mr. Cheng was called away by Qin Guotao early in the morning, so he will be late."

Shangguan Qing understood, "Well, let's go."

She quietly used the spiritual power in her body, her eyes lit up, and the spiritual power flowed throughout her body, making her feel a lot lighter.

I have finally waited until this day!

This time when we went to the orphanage, we still didn't contact the director in advance, and decided to have a surprise attack.

When the car arrived outside the courtyard gate, Li Yang turned his head and looked at Shangguan Qing, "Boss Cheng said that if you find anything wrong, don't make it public yet and wait for him to come."

Cheng Ji was afraid that if he was not around, the dean would be angry and Shangguan Qing would be in danger.

"Come in." She needed someone to stretch her muscles.

It’s best to pray that the dean doesn’t dance in a minefield.

The two walked into the orphanage.

This time Li Yang led the way.

Less than five minutes after they came in, Dean Huang ran out from somewhere and stopped in front of them, panting.

"Secretary Li, why are you here again..." He gasped, his chest rising and falling, "If the guard hadn't told me that the leader was coming, I would have performed poorly today again."

Shangguan Qing didn't want to hear any of this nonsense.

"Where are the children? I want to go see them." She went straight to the point.
