Chapter 43



The masked man gave Yuan Yuanyuan a great shock... She hid in the house for two days before she dared to go out again.

On Saturday, Yuan Yuanyuan went back to work. After she washed twice as many dishes as usual, Sister Li Zi pulled her sleeve and led her out through the back door.

Yuan Yuanyuan was led to a street without knowing anything. She seldom went there. But after she went there this time, she found that it was a place similar to a market.

Sister Li Zi brought Yuan Yuanyuan here to see if there was anything good for her health. She felt that it was a bit abnormal for Yuan Yuanyuan to be in a coma for three consecutive days.

Dongmen Market is just a small place where monsters gather. It only opens at night. But it is the nearest market to the tavern. Sister Lizi took Yuan Yuanyuan to a place far away from the city center and walked to a huge square. It used to be a small bus station. Later, a new bus station was built and it was deserted for almost ten years.

Yuan Yuanyuan came here for the first time. Her work and cultivation had already consumed all her time. In addition, she had never been able to integrate into the world of monsters, so naturally she didn't know this place. She followed Sister Li Zi into the courtyard of the square and was stunned. In the night, the sky-high ghost lights were floating around, and the place was as lively as during the day.

At first glance, this place is just like a fantasy version of the herd, with countless strange-looking monsters walking around and all kinds of shouting sounds heard everywhere.

She walked along the small path left in the middle, looking at the crowded stalls on both sides, and felt like Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden.

"The latest magic technique, two thousand yuan a copy, you can exchange it for magic beads, or other magic techniques..."

"A pair of freshly caught hamsters, both are very lively. If you are interested, come and have a look. Hey, girl over there, come and have a look. They are all mice, so cute..."

The stalls are placed one after another everywhere, and the decorations are very unique. Each one looks like a stall in a monster story.

"Why are there people paying with RMB here?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at people on both sides who were taking out gold from time to time and found the scene inexplicably funny.

"There are no fixed exchange conditions here. What you bring out can satisfy the other party." Sister Lizi said: "RMB, magic beads, some small and novel things are all fine... Many old monsters pay with gold. You can guess what kind of monster he is by looking at what he brings out."

Yuan Yuanyuan complained in her heart that this was probably the reason why the monster world could never defeat the human world... There isn't even a unified currency. When Qin Shihuang unified the world, didn't he unify the currency first?

There were green will-o'-the-wisp lights everywhere, and she felt dizzy after walking for only a short while.

Sister Li was obviously familiar with the route, and she walked straight into the depths. Yuan Yuanyuan was just a step slower, and was surrounded by a group of messy monsters. They all had their own products in their hands and were enthusiastically promoting them to Yuan Yuanyuan.

"Come here, girl, take a look at this piece of warm jade..."

"Come on, girl. We have a batch of newly made clothes with defensive magic spells embroidered on them. They will look great on you."

"Make way, make way, sorry, make way." Yuan Yuanyuan timidly got out of the crowd. Her clothes were pulled off several times by several unknown monsters. She quickly caught up with Sister Li Zi. Sister Li Zi heard the sound and looked at her and said, "Why are you so careless? Follow closely."

"Oh oh." Yuan Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly and was brought by Sister Li Zi to a tent embroidered with several black lotus flowers. Sister Li Zi went in first and asked Yuan Yuanyuan to wait. Yuan Yuanyuan stood in front of the tent, rubbing her hands to keep warm.

It's really... damn cold in here.

This was definitely not a misperception by Yuan Yuanyuan. She saw the breath she exhaled turned into white mist. For some reason, the temperature would usually drop where monsters gathered, even if there were fire monsters inside.

After a while, she suddenly saw the door of the tent in front of her was opened. Sister Li held the door with one hand, and half of her head was sticking out. She said to her, "Come here, let the owner see your condition."

Yuan Yuanyuan walked over foolishly, and suddenly a long silk thread was thrown out from the tent and wrapped around her wrist.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't dare to move for a moment.

The thread was only entangled for less than half a minute before it retracted, and Sister Li followed it back into the tent. Yuan Yuanyuan waited outside for a while, and then saw her come out, holding a large lotus leaf in her hand and throwing it to her, saying, "Go back, eat one pack a day, and the money will be deducted from your wages."

Yuan Yuanyuan returned to the kitchen from the market and opened the lotus leaf bag. She felt that she had been in a coma for three days only because she had some anemia. As for deeper problems, she estimated that others would not be able to see them. She still had confidence in Ji Qiu.

After opening the lotus leaf bag, there was actually a huge shell inside. The shell was as big as Yuan Yuanyuan's two hands. She held the big shell and opened it. Inside the big shell were actually many small shells, colorful and full.

"The doctor said you lost too much blood." Sister Lizi said, "Don't worry, the magic bead can be made anytime, one or two days won't make a difference."

Yuan Yuanyuan took a small shell in her hand and looked at it. It was very small. She pried it open along the seam. Inside were two small red beads that gave off a bitter taste.

Is this the medicine for monsters?

Yuan Yuanyuan took a glass of water, took two pills and swallowed them, then threw the shell to the four groups of people aside to play with.

"Hurry up and see if that picture book has been updated." Sister Li Zi has been paying special attention to "Demon Records" since it was featured in Group 4.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the time and decided not to rush, so she sat on a small stool and watched the four groups play with shells.

At twelve o'clock, she opened the dream comic and was not surprised to see that the conversation between her and the masked man in black a few days ago was drawn in the comic.

When she saw herself appearing, Yuan Yuanyuan sighed, and she knew everything that happened next. She threw her phone to Sister Li Zi, and squatted over to play with shells with the four groups.

Sister Li looked at the contents of the comic. The background was a dark night. The masked man in black said coldly, "I thought you were already dead."

[Since you are alive, do you still want to come back? ]

Yuan's expression in the painting looks very calm, even a little cold.

He lowered his head, his bright red eyes were lightly covered by his bangs, and the fluctuations in his eyes could not be seen.

Yuan Yuanyuan was washing shells there, thinking that the comic would definitely not be able to find any flaws in her. She adjusted her expression at that moment, for she was afraid that this scene would be drawn in the comic.

When old friends meet and greet each other, especially when one of them has been missing for many years...how much imagination can be aroused by this.

Yuan Yuanyuan doesn’t have much to add in her mind, far less than what the readers have.

[Oh my god...are you going to tear it apart?]

[It hasn’t been torn yet, but it feels like it’s about to be torn. ]

[Why is Yuan so feminine when she's angry... She's worthy of being Xiao Yuan's mother. 】

[Nonsense, she's clearly quite domineering, it looks like she's showing off the aura of a great monster.]

[The main reason is that he is too thin, and that face... he doesn't look domineering at all. His words seem quite cold, but I feel that he is a bit pitiful... I can't stop thinking about him.]

[Is it pitiful?... He is a great god from the ancient times, don't worry about it. At present, Yuan is still a big fan, and Ji Qiu will not draw him to death, but it is not certain in the future. ]

[No, no, I suddenly felt that Yuan was pitiful in this chapter. I also felt that it was very strange. Normally, such a domineering character should not be pitiful, but Ji Qiu drew him to be a bit pitiful... I don't know why.]

[She has a very strange temperament. Of course, you guys can't see it. Why do I suddenly feel a little distressed... Poor girl, come here for a hug.]

[…I don’t understand you women. He’s a powerful monster. If he knew you said that about him, he would probably vomit blood and die.]

Uh...how can I be so pitiful? Why didn't I, the person involved, see it?

Not to mention the readers, even Yuan Yuanyuan herself couldn't help but make up her mind. She thought that it was probably because of the red jade on her chest that those people mistook her for someone else. As for the different appearance, it was probably that the monster was also good at changing shape.

She waited for Sister Li to finish reading the comic, and then threw the phone back to her. After Sister Li finished reading the comic, she said, "Fortunately, the fourth group only let him draw it once. Whoever wants to mix it up can mix it up. We all stay away from it."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't people often draw this kind of picture book in the past?"

"This time is different." That's all Sister Li said.

Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to get something out of Sister Li Zi, but she refused to say anything, so she stopped talking. She turned around and looked at Si Qun who was still playing with shells, walked over and asked quietly, "Hey, what does your sister mean?"

"She, she was saying that the one named Ji Qiu wasn't a good painter." Siqun raised his head and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan seriously with his big watery eyes.

Yuan Yuanyuan reached out and stroked Siqun's stray hair. Although it was the same as if he hadn't said anything, the child was quite pitiful, so she didn't force him.

When Yuan Yuanyuan returned home, she was still thinking about the words that person said that day. War, death, tombstone, winning a prize, survivor... Putting these words together, it was almost a story about a monster who participated in the war and became the only survivor. His means of becoming a survivor may not be very glorious, so this allowed him to survive successfully.

That's why he was called a traitor and a coward.

Yuan Yuanyuan touched the jade on her chest. If she remembered correctly, Ji Qiu said at that time that she had replaced another tragic male supporting role, so she guessed that the previous owner of the jade was the monster who escaped from the battle.

What exactly does this monster look like...

Yuan Yuanyuan thought that there must be a monster who knew what happened back then, but looking at everyone's state, it was obvious that they all knew but were unwilling to say.

This must be a very big deal. Sister Li must know something, so she said not to get involved.

But what should I do if she has already mixed it in?

Yuan Yuanyuan sat up from the bed. In this situation, doing nothing might be the best option, but the longer she delayed, the greater the risk she would face.

It is better to take the initiative and find out some truth so that you are not so confused.

Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. The next day, she left for work an hour earlier than usual and came to the market at the abandoned bus station alone. As soon as she entered, she scanned the surroundings. There were still crowds of people, but no monster came to pull her like yesterday.

She was transformed today, wearing a randomly bought dust mask on her face and a black jacket on her body.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that ever since she had practiced the Blood Jade Demon Art, she would always have a faint scent of blood on her body after she transformed. Other monsters had a very sensitive sense of smell and naturally would not ignore it.

She walked around and picked out the magic skills from the small stalls. She knew that these skills might not be very good, but there was one very peculiar thing about the magic skills - they usually came with travel notes.

Yuan Yuanyuan just wanted to see if there were any sorcery books related to what happened back then.

After walking around, she inexplicably came to the place where she and Sister Lizi came yesterday. After looking at the black lotus on it, Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and continued to choose.

After she picked up a few books at random and went back, a head suddenly popped out of the black lotus tent. A girl with a lotus on her head leaned half of her body out and looked outside. Her eyes were blue and very penetrating.

The blue-eyed girl sniffed outside and finally her eyes stopped on a small stall.

Strange taste.
