Chapter 52: Learning to Control Men



Dean Huang was blindfolded and could not see his surroundings.

He was timid in his heart, "I'll give you money, please let me go."

Youxuan stood behind him and said viciously, "If you keep talking, I'll make you mute."

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately shut up.

Shangguan Qing opened the door to the antique shop.

She just raised her hand and waved, and an entrance to a secret passage appeared on the wall next to her.

There is a barrier outside the dungeon for protection, and outsiders cannot see the entrance.

She opened the door and walked down slowly.

Youxuan and Dean Huang followed closely behind.

A woman's singing could be heard from the dungeon. Her voice was lively and it was obvious that she was a professional.

When Xu Muzhi saw the sensor light at the stairs turned on, he stopped singing and stared at the exit with nervous and serious eyes.

"Ah!" She suddenly grabbed the iron cage in front of her, and roared with her eyes wide open, "How dare you kidnap me! Shangguan Qing, you will not live well!"

"Death? Haha." She smiled crookedly.

She has been a female ghost for a thousand years. Isn't it too late to curse her now?

Shangguan Qing walked to the iron cage.

“Do you like this place?”

She pretended to look around. The dark and damp environment was even a few degrees colder than inside the store.

Dean Huang began to shiver.

Youxuan tore off the blindfold, opened his eyes and found himself in an airtight dark room. He was instantly panicked.

"You are kidnapping! I can sue you in court!!"

These words sounded quite ironic coming from Dean Huang's mouth.

"You're still thinking of suing us? You'd better wish you good luck first." Youxuan pushed him with disdain.

Dean Huang fell to the ground. Because his hands were tied and his center of gravity was unstable, he couldn't stand up.

"You'd better not let me escape."

Xu Muzhi couldn't surrender to her and beg for mercy, and his words were full of thorns.

"It's easy to get out. Just tell me who let you get close to Cheng Ji?" Shangguan Qing asked aggressively, "Who made you mine?"

Xu Muzhi was panicked for a moment.

But it soon returned to normal.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." She avoided Shangguan Qing's gaze, and her momentum weakened a little.

"When you understand, I will let you go."

She turned her head and looked at Youxuan, "Let her stay awake for two days and see who can't stand it first."

"Yes, Sister Shangguan."

Then she walked up to Dean Huang and her eyes suddenly became angry.

Dean Huang kept backing away until he was huddled in a corner.

"You're not so lucky."

Shangguan Qing showed a sinister smile, took out a small bottle, opened it, and poured the powder on him.

Within a minute, snakes, rats, insects and ants came towards him from all directions of the dungeon.

"Ah!" Dean Huang screamed in panic, "What is this? Get out! Get out of here!"

He used his hands and feet to shake off the animals around him.

But they still climbed onto my body.

When Xu Muzhi in the iron cage saw his miserable state, he felt a chill down his spine.

Shangguan Qing put the bottle away and reminded them casually, "These have been hungry for a long time. Let them enjoy a good meal! This is also the last use for you, a sinner."

After saying this, she walked up the stairs resolutely, ignoring Dean Huang's repeated pleas and wails.

The prisoners who fell into the hands of the Lady of the Underworld would either be utterly mutilated or reduced to ashes.

There is no third option.

She told Youxuan, "I'm going back to the underworld. Don't open the door to anyone during this time, including Cheng Ji."

Youxuan didn't understand her intention, but he nodded anyway, "Yes, sir."

......

Pluto's Palace.

As usual, red lanterns were lit in the hall, emitting a faint green light.

Pluto sat high on the throne, his hands on his knees, one hand holding a comic book, looking so leisurely and comfortable.

"It's been a month?" He raised his eyes to glance at her and muttered, "It must be bad news if you come to me with such a stinky face."

Shangguan Qing quickly moved and snatched the thing from his hand.

"Oh! I just saw **." He complained, "Give me back the book! After all, I am Pluto and your master."

No respect for elders!

Shangguan Qing spoke in a cold tone, and stretched out his hand, "Give me the dagger!"

"Here you go!"

He spread out his palm, and an exquisite dagger instantly appeared in his hand.

Shangguan Qing took it away and then asked, "Tell me the truth, is Mu Cheng really the man I'm looking for? Why do I react when he and Cheng Ji are injured and bleeding?"

Now, Pluto gave up his intention of having fun.

"You have to find the person yourself. You have to identify who is real and who is fake."

When he became serious, his magnetic field became even more intimidating. "When you find your memory and resolve your regrets in life, you will be qualified to enter reincarnation."

"Then what should I do to remember my life before death?" she asked.

Pluto produced another comic book in his hand and stared at the Mary Sue plot inside with great interest.

"The male lead is so pitiful that he was taken credit by the second male lead. The female lead is also stupid..."

After complaining, I couldn't help but shake my head.

He took the time to look at Shangguan Qing and replied, "I can only remind you that the red spider lily can evoke the memories of the deceased. As for how to use it, it depends on your own understanding."

It's as if she didn't say anything. She knows the function of red spider lily!

Shangguan Qing threw the comic book in his hand at him, "Say it if you want, or not, forget it!"

She turned and left.

The deep and powerful voice of Hades sounded again behind him, "That dagger is destined to be with you, don't give it to others, keep it well for yourself, especially Qiongqi."

She said "Oh" absentmindedly.

His words made her even more curious.

It's just a common dagger in ancient imperial palaces, why do so many people care about it?

More importantly, when did she get this knife and why does she have no memory of it?

With a head full of doubts, Shangguan Qing turned into white smoke and left the underworld.

Pluto watched her gradually disappear into the darkness and sighed, "I don't know when the heroine will redeem the hero. I won't watch it anymore! I won't watch it anymore..."

In the Dengqing Antique Shop, Youxuan stayed inside the shop obediently and didn't let even a mosquito fly in.

Even when Qiongqi came to the door, he refused to open it.

If Lord Shangguan says not to open it, then don’t open it!

"Youxuan, what's going on outside?"

As soon as she returned to the antique shop, she heard crackling sounds outside.

Youxuan was startled, "Sir, you are back!"

He pointed outside the door, his expression somewhat aggrieved, "Qiongqi just came to see you, and I didn't open the door for him, so he started smashing things outside."

Shangguan Qing's face turned dark. She put the dagger into a wooden box at the front desk and hid it before walking to the door.

She opened the door and saw Qiongqi trying to smash the pool outside the door.

"Are you crazy?" She glared at him. "You are so old and you are still acting like a child?"

Qiongqi threw away the sword in his hand and patted the dust off his hands.

"I've given you one day. Where are the things?"

He held out his hand, taking it for granted that the object was in her hand.

Shangguan Qing turned back to the store and said, "No, I didn't find it."

"Didn't find it?" He rushed into the store and ran to her, "Then you are so arrogant that you say you are the Lord of the Netherworld and it is easy to find something!"

"I don't care, you have to find it and give it to me."

He began to pester her, determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.

Shangguan Qing glanced at him, walked around him and sat down at the front desk.

He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip with a heavy heart.

"Then tell me, what use is this knife other than hurting you? What if I get hurt by touching it?" After she said that, she did not forget to take a look at his expression.

"Impossible!" He retorted without hesitation, "This dagger recognized its owner thousands of years ago. Only its owner can use it. No one else can even pull the scabbard open."

Even if it is pulled out, it will become an unsharpened knife with no damage value.

Don’t underestimate it as just a short knife. It is made of ancient black iron and is very spiritual.

Hearing what he said, Shangguan Qing suddenly realized something.

She had opened it once before, and the dagger had flashed before her, and she had thought its owner was coming, but she had never thought it was her.

Since it was recognized by the owner thousands of years ago, it belonged to her during her lifetime.

"Do you know who it recognized as its owner thousands of years ago?" she asked eagerly.

Qiongqi shook his head, "I don't know. I heard he was a general, but he wasn't! What's the point of asking this?"

The general...is he a man?

Shangguan Qing was a little confused about the connection.

"Did Lei Jiaojiao come to you some time ago?"

He suddenly mentioned someone else, and Shangguan Qing was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment.

"Well, you know her?" She looked him up and down. "You were with her, too?"

Qiongqi suddenly put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth angrily, as if he remembered something bad.

"That woman refused to recognize me after pulling up her pants." He kicked the sofa next to him angrily, "She even said I was too old? It's not as fun to play with young men."

He held his forehead in his hand speechlessly, and his complaints became more and more intense, "She doesn't even look at how old she is. She's hundreds of years old and she still has the nerve to complain about me being old!"

She is truly worthy of being the Queen of the Sea known to all three realms.

Shangguan Qing admired her from the bottom of his heart because she could control even the ferocious beasts.

After all, she wore sexy underwear and threw herself into his arms, but she still couldn't win Cheng Ji's heart. Oh, it makes me tired just thinking about it.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly appeared.

"He has no sense of humor at all. He just rushes around recklessly. He almost broke my bones. Even if he lives for thousands of years, he can't compare to a young man in his twenties."

You still have the nerve to shout.

Lei Jiaojiao crossed her arms over her chest and walked into the antique shop in high heels, glaring at Qiongqi with disdain.

"You! You actually..." Qiongqi suddenly felt aggrieved like a puppy, "You actually dared to run in front of me, I... I am a good man and I don't fight with a bad woman!"

After saying that, he ran out angrily.

Shangguan Qing saw his embarrassed back and silently gave her a thumbs up.

"How to control a man? Open a class and teach me." She really wanted to learn.

"Go!" Lei Jiaojiao leaned against the front desk, "I have something important to talk to you about."

"What could make you leave your group of men and come to my little shop?" she asked jokingly.
