Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

The next day.

Jiang Chaosheng got up and washed up.

He stepped out of the bedroom, where a breakfast had been prepared and covered with an insulated cover on a food cart by the door.

Jin Meiting is no longer here.

She has already gone out to carry out the task assigned by Jiang Chaosheng.

If Jin Meiting is capable enough, she can bring the red-haired youth's sister over tonight.

The second member of the Forbidden Society should then be born.

Jiang Chaosheng has a habit of eating breakfast, but he broke his routine today.

Today is the first day of the lunar month, a day to provide spiritual power to the forbidden sculptures in the basement.

He was somewhat impatient to see if he would encounter that forbidden object.

Jiang Chaosheng went downstairs, picked up the Soul-Sealing Magic Jar from the cabinet shelf, and walked down the steps in the back hall to the basement.

.......

The old-fashioned black wooden door leading to the basement was now open.

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the pitch-black interior, which was as dark as an abyss, and stepped inside.

The moment you enter the basement, all 365 bronze candlesticks placed throughout the vast basement suddenly burst into green flames.

Jiang Chaosheng looked around at the surroundings with surprise.

The green flames had no heat at all; in fact, they felt somewhat cold.

In the very center hung eight bolts of yellow cloth, each ten feet long, covered with esoteric scriptures written in red cinnabar.

Jiang Chaosheng knew that the forbidden sculpture was surrounded by yellow cloth.

He stepped forward, gently lifted the yellow cloth, and saw what was inside.

It was a sculpture in the shape of a white jade skull, draped in a tattered black robe, holding a small black box in its arms, sitting on a golden throne.

The white jade skull's bones made a "crunching" sound.

It sounded like two rusty, unlubricated stones rubbing against each other.

The white jade skull slowly raised its skull head.

Suddenly, the candlelight flickered, the air became thick, and a terrifying pressure came crashing down.

If ordinary people were present, those with strong mental fortitude would be unable to resist kneeling and bowing before it, while those with weak mental fortitude would probably be terrified to death.

Jiang Chaosheng frowned:

"Be quiet."

The previous owner said that the most terrifying thing in the entire antique shop was the forbidden sculptures.

After entering the basement, it is best to perform three kowtows and nine prostrations.

Jiang Chaosheng found it absurd, and he would never kneel before anyone, not even a living god.

At worst, you can deepen the curse on me, and this statue of yours will never gain any more soul power.

Who's afraid of whom?

As soon as he finished speaking, the candlelight stopped flickering, and everything returned to normal.

The white jade skull's empty eye sockets seemed to have eyes, staring intently at the Soul-Sealing Magic Jar in Jiang Chaosheng's hand.

It actually compromised with Jiang Chaosheng, hoping that Jiang Chaosheng would give it the power of his soul.

Jiang Chaosheng opened the Soul-Sealing Magic Jar.

The power of the soul materialized, like streams of milky white air flowing out.

The white jade skull sculpture seemed to begin to breathe.

The soul power is entering the mouth and nose of the white jade skull.

Jiang Chaosheng squinted at the white jade skull on the golden throne.

Number [0-01, Emperor.]

Jiang Chaosheng was slightly surprised.

The first digit of the number is '0', indicating that the forbidden item is related to the gods.

This white jade skull is actually a forbidden object for the gods, and it's placed at the very front!

Jiang Chaosheng suspected that the white jade skull was the remains of a god.

"It seems that there is a significant difference between the gods in mythology and the gods in legends."

After all, he had never heard of any god called "Emperor".

After more than ten minutes, the white jade skeleton mechanically absorbed all the soul power and lowered its head again.

Jiang Chaosheng stared at the white jade skull for a long time, then took the Soul-Sealing Magic Jar and walked out of the basement.

......

Oasis Hospital, Nanhai City Development Zone.

This is a high-end private hospital in Nanhai, commonly known as a "noble hospital".

In a VIP ocean-view ward, a pale-faced, thin woman sat in a wheelchair.

Her name is Xia Li, and she is currently the head of the Xia family in the South China Sea.

If someone hasn't heard of the Xia family, they must have heard of the World Dream Group founded by the Xia family.

World Dream Group is involved in various industries in the South China Sea Development Zone, including catering, medical care, education, tourism, clothing, and automobiles.

It can be said that every resident of the Nanhai Development Zone, before their death, never left the Nanhai World Dream Group.

Of course, this is also because World Dream Group does not intend to enter the funeral industry.

Xia Li, the current head of the Nanhai World Dream Group, is the queen of the development zone.

Unfortunately, even a woman of exceptional talent and strategic vision, far surpassing her predecessors, had to succumb to illness at this moment.

She was very ill.

With ALS and congenital heart disease, even a god would have to watch her walk step by step toward hell.

"Mr. Xia, you'd better sign the contract quickly."

The lawyer urged Xia Li on.

A hint of sadness appeared in Xia Li's eyes.

My body has reached a point of no return.

Lately, I've been having a vague feeling that it's difficult to speak.

The lawyer asked her to sign a will, transferring the group to her younger brother, Xia Qiming.

Xia Li knew what kind of person Xia Qiming was.

He was an expert in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring; he was a notorious playboy in the South China Sea.

If the dream of the world is handed over to him, the world dream, which has been passed down for two hundred years, will not be far from its demise.

Shirley wanted to hand over her world dream to someone else, such as a courageous and resourceful executive in the company.

Bloodline traditions are not important; the inheritance of the World Dream brand is of paramount importance.

Unfortunately, I no longer have the ability to send the information out.

My phone was taken away a few days ago.

I'm the only one living on this floor.

These days, not even nurses or doctors have come.

In other words, he, this sickly man, was now under house arrest.

Seeing Xia Li's hesitation, the lawyer said in a deep voice:

"This is also what the shareholders want."

Shirley chuckled softly.

Once she signed the contract, World Dream Group would be in the hands of her younger brother, Xia Qiming.

He's just a playful kid; the shareholders will probably devour him completely, leaving not even bones.

Xia Li hopes her younger brother can live a happy life as a rich kid, instead of getting involved in this mess.

She looked out the window.

I wonder how my younger brother is doing out there.

Will he also be bullied by other shareholders?

Shareholders probably really want an obedient leader.

The lawyer finally lost his patience, leaned down, and whispered coldly in Shirley's ear:

"Mr. Xia, don't be ungrateful."

Young Master Xia said that as long as you obediently sign the contract, he will let you stay here and wait to die in peace.

If you don't sign the contract, don't blame Young Master Xia for using some tricks on you.

Don't forget, Oasis Hospital is under Young Master Xia's name.

Making you wish you were dead is an easy task.

Shirley's eye twitched, and she looked at the lawyer in disbelief.

I initially thought that the shareholders had used some means to control the hospital.

It turns out I was overthinking things.

The shareholders' betrayal made her feel humiliated.

But the anger stemming from his brother's betrayal surged straight to his head.

Mingming took meticulous care of her younger brother after her mother passed away.

What a heartless... idiot!

The lawyer felt he had achieved his deterrent goal and gave Xia Li a mocking look.

He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction at having these powerful and influential people, who sat high above the clouds, trampled under his feet.

The lawyer smiled with satisfaction:

"Mr. Xia, please think it over. I'll come see you again tonight."

After saying that, the lawyer turned and left the ward.

Shirley's eyes were filled with sorrow.

If only there were a god to save me.

She, who once did not believe in gods, had countless times hoped that a god could save her.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

She is a nurse.

A nurse whose very being exudes charm.
