Dragon Clan: Starting from obtaining Yaki, counterattack against the gods

Chapter 209 The Deeply Buried Secret

The atmosphere in the small and shabby antique shop was stagnant for a moment.

The first person to react was the old man. He scratched his iron-gray hair and smiled kindly on his old face: "Two beautiful girls, do you want to buy anything?"

His voice was so natural, just like when he usually greeted guests, as if the momentary daze just now did not exist at all.

Nuonuo looked around the shabby room. The shop still had old paper-covered windows. The sunlight was dim when it came in. Countless dust particles were suspended in the air. There were large and small tables and wooden boxes in the room, which seemed to be quite old.

Thread-bound books, Tang tri-color pottery, stone inkstones and brush washers and other items are not arranged neatly, and even seem a bit random. It seems that this store sells everything.

At first glance, this place looks like an old house sealed by dust. No one has set foot in for decades. Only the dust elves are dancing in the air. They are the lords here.

A person who lives in such an environment is probably an old antique, even older than he appears. He has lived for a long time and witnessed the ups and downs of the world together with this dilapidated house.

Nuonuo blinked her eyes. She saw an old recliner at the door. A scene appeared in front of her, in which an old man was lying on the recliner, gazing at the bustling world outside the alley.

No matter whether it was the wind and rain beating on the dilapidated eaves, the sun shining on the old man's skinny body, or the snowflakes blowing in the cold wind, the old man just lay there quietly. Time passed in the blink of an eye, but the old man remained the same.

But he was not always here. The dust in the air and the clutter on the shelves showed that he did not live here, and he had not even been back for a long time.

"Girls, why don't you say anything?" The old man was very enthusiastic, promoting his products like any other shopkeeper on the road: "These are all top-quality goods!"

"Are you looking to buy antiques for collection or as gifts?" The old man had a kind face and a sincere smile. "They are absolutely genuine. If they are fake, I will pay you ten times the price."

"Mr. Lin Fenglong." Yuan Zhinv interrupted the old man's sales pitch and said calmly, "I saw your message on the Hunter website. You are selling Dragon King information, right?"

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked Yuan Zhinv up and down: "Are you hunters too? What's your name? Have we contacted each other?"

“No contact.”

"Then how did you find me?" The old man looked very surprised: "Isn't it true that you can't find real information on the Hunter website?"

"Don't worry about how I found it." Yuan Zhinv said briefly: "Want to chat?"

"Well, if I don't accept the invitation from such a beautiful girl, it would seem that I am a little ungrateful."

"Would you like some tea? I have some autumn Tieguanyin tea picked from old tea trees." The old man led Yuan Zhinu and Nuonuo to a corner, where a full set of celadon tea sets were placed on an old tea table made from tree roots.

Three people sat opposite each other, and the old man skillfully boiled water and brewed tea, pouring, steeping, rinsing and washing. The celadon tea set flew up and down in the hands of this European old man, with a beauty that made people dizzy.

A faint scent of tea wafted in the air, and finally two small cups of steaming tea were served to the girls.

"Try my cooking skills." The old man smiled and said, "It is my honor to make tea for a beautiful lady."

Nuonuo looked at the small cup of tea in front of her and suddenly said, "You just used this tea set, right?"

The old man was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"You just welcomed a distinguished guest. You valued him very much and made tea for him. The teacup was wet, obviously it had just been washed."

"You two must have talked for quite some time. It was an important matter. You were very satisfied with your findings, so you were in a good mood... Were you surprised by our arrival?"

Nuo Nuo raised his eyes, his dark red pupils fixed firmly on the old man's eyes, and he spoke word by word: "When you saw me just now, you were obviously stunned for a moment."

"you know me?"

The girl with red hair and red eyes pressed forward step by step. She was extremely aggressive and only such a sudden attack could force someone to reveal his true colors, and she could also read the information she wanted from it.

This is Nono's usual tactic, and it always works.

Almost at the same time as he spoke, Nuonuo stared at the old man's face, not missing any expression on his face, and sure enough, he saw that his expression was subtle for a moment.

"Sure enough, you know me." Without waiting for the old man to answer, Nuo Nuo made a judgment directly and said in a positive tone: "So, how do you know me?"

"Or in other words, through what means? And for what purpose?"

The old man's calm expression finally changed, and the smile on his face from beginning to end also faded.

Yuan Zhinu supported her head with one hand and watched everything calmly. She said nothing, just sat there, but she was the biggest confidence for Nuo Nuo to be so presumptuous.

Before coming here, Nono asked her what to do and whether she needed to adopt a conciliatory policy. Yuan Zhinu only said one sentence:

——Come whatever you want, no matter what happens, I will protect you and you will be fine.

Nuonuo is obviously an obedient girl, and she knows the principle of hitting the snake with the stick. Her performance at this time cannot be said to be reckless, but it can be said to be completely unscrupulous. But it is indeed effective.

"How perceptive." He smiled again, still with that kind smile, and the look he gave Nuonuo was like a kind elder looking at a naughty child, full of tolerance.

"Why do you think I know you?" He did not answer Nuonuo's question, but asked directly: "Girl, have you forgotten something?"

Nono frowned: "What?"

"Have you forgotten your promise?" The old man sighed: "To be honest, I'm quite disappointed."

After these words were spoken, Nuo Nuo froze in place, the color on his face quickly faded, and his dark red pupils suddenly dilated.

She suddenly changed from the domineering little witch into a pale and frightened little girl, just like the strike of midnight, the dazzling princess turned back into the vulnerable Cinderella.

"What?" Yuan Zhinv realized something was wrong and asked, "What promise?"

Nuonuo just shook her head. She forced a smile, but it looked uglier than crying: "It's okay."

Yuan Zhinu wanted to ask more, but Nuonuo suddenly grabbed her hand, her knuckles turning white with force: "Liuli, I feel a little uncomfortable, can we go?"

"If you feel uncomfortable, go back and have a good rest." The old man looked concerned, as if he really cared about Nuonuo's health: "I won't keep you here. Come back next time when you have time."

Yuan Zhinv didn't want to leave just like that, but Nono looked like something was really wrong. She frowned, but she eventually turned around and left with the girl. However, the moment she turned around, a flash of gold appeared in her dark eyes.

A few small snakes were left behind quietly to prevent the old thing from running away secretly.

Nuonuo didn't say anything until they left the alley. When Yuan Zhinu asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head.

The girl curled up in the passenger seat, hugging herself tightly, like a frightened timid cub. Yuan Zhinv drove her away, and the red Ferrari raised a cloud of dust on the old street.

She took her to a remote lake, and after the brakes were turned off, Yuan Zhinv asked the same question again: "What happened? What promise? Do you know that person?"

Nuonuo huddled in the passenger seat and gave Yuan Zhinu a smile that was uglier than crying, her voice a little hoarse: "Sister, can you stop asking questions for now?"

"No." Yuan Zhinv interrupted her forcefully: "Who is that person? What secrets are there between you two?"

Nuonuo fell into silence, turning away from Yuan Zhinu, as if she had made up her mind not to speak.

This uncontrollable unknown made Yuan Zhinu feel irritated. She suddenly leaned over, not giving the girl any chance to escape. She supported herself with her arms and directly restrained her in the small space on the passenger seat.

Nuonuo lowered her head in panic and tried to dodge, but a bony hand clamped her chin tightly. Nuonuo struggled frantically, but her strength was as ridiculous as a mayfly trying to shake a tree in front of Yuan Zhinv.

Genji forced her to raise her head without giving her any chance to refuse, and a golden color suddenly ignited in her dark eyes.

Word Spirit·Dream Tapir.

The moment they looked into each other's eyes, Nuonuo stopped struggling and stared blankly at those bright pupils.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did you lose your composure when you heard that? What promise did you make? Who was that person?"

Yuan Zhinu's voice was very cold, and her eyes seemed to contain an eternal iceberg. It was an expression she had never shown in front of a girl before, and it carried an irresistible majesty.

She has always been very indulgent towards Nono. At first, it was because she looked like Eri and she loved her because of her. Later, it was because she knew that this girl was indeed related to her by blood, and that the girl might have suffered a lot in her childhood, so she felt a little more genuine pity for her.

But this doesn't mean that she can be unscrupulous towards Qiao.

But something unexpected happened. Nuonuo didn't answer any questions like the other people controlled by the nightmare tapir. He just stared at her blankly, and tears suddenly flowed from his dark red eyes.

Yuan Zhinu watched with her own eyes as tears gathered in those beautiful dark red eyes, just like ripples suddenly appearing in a calm lake, and warm tears fell on Yuan Zhinu's hands.

"Don't force me, please." Nuo Nuo choked up and said, with sadness like the tide in his eyes: "I really can't say, please don't ask."

Yuan Zhinu was stunned, the bright golden color in her eyes gradually faded, she loosened her hand that was clamped on Nono's chin, and dark red marks were immediately left on her fair skin.

Nuonuo hugged herself and buried her head deeply. Her thin shoulders trembled constantly, but she didn't dare to cry out at all.

Yuan Zhinv looked at the sad girl, her heart filled with shock.

It’s not because Nuonuo’s reaction was so big, but because——

The nightmare tapir that was even powerful enough to affect Lu Mingfei actually had no effect on Nuo Nuo...
