Inside the antique shop, under the dim light, Lei Jiaojiao lazily sank into the soft sofa, her fingers sliding quickly across the screen of her mobile phone, occasionally looking up, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

Shangguan Qing looked curious, leaning forward, almost touching Jiaojiao's face, the fire of gossip burning.

"Tell me quickly, how did you get to know that mysterious Qiongqi? Was it on a stormy night when it was injured and you came to its rescue..."

Jiaojiao burst out laughing and gently pushed her away: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just an unexpected encounter."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to drift off into the distance, lost in memories.

Lei Jiaojiao raised her lips in a gentle arc and continued, "That day, I was picking herbs in the back mountain. The forest after the rain was filled with the freshness of soil and plants.

Suddenly, a faint roar broke the silence. I followed the sound and saw a huge Qiongqi curled up under a tree, its body covered with scars and its eyes full of vigilance and helplessness.

I approached cautiously and bandaged its wound with the herbs I carried with me.

It was alert at first, but after it sensed my kindness, its eyes gradually softened, as if it was grateful. "

As she spoke, a soft light flashed in Lei Jiaojiao's eyes, as if the warmth and tranquility of that moment still made her feel warm in her heart.

Shangguan Qing opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief, as if he had witnessed a miracle with his own eyes.

"Jiaojiao, you are acting like a beast tamer! Qiongqi has such a violent temper that even the beasts in the forests avoid him, but you can actually make him behave like a tamer. Tell me, did you give him some kind of magic potion?"

As he spoke, Shangguan Qing gestured exaggeratedly, as if Lei Jiaojiao really had some mysterious magic.

Lei Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "There is no such thing as a magic potion, it's just true love.

After I bandaged its wound, it gently rubbed my hand. At that moment, I seemed to be able to feel the innocence and trust in its heart. "

Lei Jiaojiao pursed her lips slightly, with a smile that carried some deep meaning: "The more fierce a man looks, the easier he is to control. As the old saying goes, he may be hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

Just like the Qiongqi, it looks extremely ferocious, but is actually softer than anyone else in its heart.

I gently stroked its head and it calmed down. Its eyes, which were originally as sharp as a knife, were now as gentle as the water in a lake in spring.

I spoke to it in a soft voice and it seemed to understand, and each breath became more peaceful.

At that moment, there were no words between us, yet it seemed as if we had communicated thousands of words. All the defenses and hostility disappeared in that pure emotion. "

Just as Lei Jiaojiao and Shangguan Qing were immersed in warm memories, a storm suddenly broke out outside the antique shop, and a group of evil spirits with distorted faces and wearing black robes quietly surrounded the shop.

They brandished dark chains in their hands and let out sharp wails, as if they wanted to swallow up this small space.

The light in the store dimmed instantly, and a cold air seeped in, making people feel chilled.

A mysterious voice sounded beside Lei Jiaojiao's ears, with a hint of urgency: "Sir Shangguan, someone is looking for trouble, and it seems that they are up to no good."

Before he could finish his words, there was a rapid knock on the door accompanied by a low roar, as if the gate of hell was suddenly pushed open, foreshadowing the coming storm.

Shangguan Qing frowned, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his gaze to Lei Jiaojiao, with a tone that was both playful and serious.

"Jiaojiao, nothing good happens when you come. The situation changes faster than turning the pages of a book."

As she spoke, she stood up, her figure straight and tall, exuding an aura that was not to be underestimated.

Lei Jiaojiao was not annoyed when she heard this. She just smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She gently patted the sofa beside her, motioning Shangguan Qing to sit down, and then she slowly stood up. There seemed to be a faint warm light surrounding her body, which formed a sharp contrast with the coldness outside the store.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

She said softly, her tone full of comfort and confidence.

Then he walked towards the door, his back lengthened in the dim light, looking particularly resolute, as if what he was about to face was not a group of evil spirits, but an ordinary storm.

Shangguan Qing and Lei Jiaojiao walked out of the store side by side. Shangguan Qing looked fierce and shouted, "Who's looking for me?"

Before he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind swept by, and the black-robed evil spirits rushed forward like ghosts, the chains in their hands rattling, and their mournful wails echoed in the night sky.

Lei Jiaojiao stood beside Shangguan Qing. The warm light surrounding her was particularly dazzling in the night. Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if they could dispel all darkness.

She raised her hand gently, and a soft light gathered at her fingertips, like the first rays of dawn, forming a sharp contrast with the coldness around her.

The evil spirits seemed to sense the power emanating from her. They stopped and looked hesitant, as if they were frightened by an invisible force.

The gigantic evil spirit slowly walked out of the queue. Under the black robe, one could vaguely see its towering figure like a mountain. An even denser aura of darkness surrounded it, as if even the moonlight could not penetrate its gloom.

Its sound was deep and powerful, like ancient thunder, booming in the night sky.

"Shangguan Qing, we are here on orders to invite you to the Netherworld to discuss important matters."

After saying this, it slowly raised a hand covered with black scales and pointed into the distance.

It was a place shrouded in thick fog and without sunlight, like a portal to another world.

As it moved, the surrounding evil spirits made way for it, with awe and anticipation in their eyes.

Lei Jiaojiao stepped forward, and her petite body blocked Shangguan Qing, her eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.

"Whoever wants to go can go, Shangguan Qing won't go with you anyway!"

Her words were sonorous and powerful, like summer thunder, exploding in the night sky.

The warm light around her became brighter and brighter, like a rising sun, dispelling the coldness and darkness around her.

Lei Jiaojiao clenched her fists, and the aura around her rose steadily, forming a sharp contrast with the cold aura of those black-robed evil spirits.

Her figure appeared particularly tall in the night, like a fearless warrior, swearing to protect Shangguan Qing behind her to the death.

Those evil spirits looked shocked, as if frightened by Lei Jiaojiao's aura, and retreated one after another. For a moment, no one dared to take another step forward.

Seeing this, Lei Jiaojiao's eyes flashed, and she swung her right hand suddenly. A whip flashing with lightning broke through the air. It was her life-saving magic weapon - the thunder whip.

In an instant, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and lightning and thunder intertwined into a shocking picture.

The lightning whip danced wildly in the air, and each bolt of lightning carried the power to destroy the world, tearing the surrounding air apart with a squeak.

Those black-robed evil spirits all showed expressions of fear under the power of thunder, and some were even struck by the lightning and instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Wherever the lightning whip passed, there was bright lightning, as if daylight had arrived, sweeping away the surrounding darkness and leaving only the heart-shaking sound of thunder that echoed in the night sky for a long time.
