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

Nighttime, South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.

Medusa walked to the back hall, her fingertips gently tracing the forbidden objects, her heart filled with trepidation.

These are all relics left behind by those once powerful figures—

Now, it's all hers?

Her gaze fell on a piece of paper pasted on the shelf.

[Rules of Zero Antique Shop]

Rule 1: The shop owner may use items that violate the laws of nature and are considered taboo to trade with customers.

Rule Two: Each month, the manager must sacrifice a certain amount of soul power (lifespan) to the most terrifying forbidden sculpture in the basement.

Rule 3: Upon the death of a buyer, the owner must retrieve the lost forbidden item or acquire a new forbidden item to fill the vacancy.

Note: Violating the above three points will result in being cursed by the antique shop.

Rule Four: The owner's soul is protected by Antique Shop Zero, making him immortal.

Rule 5: After a store is transferred, the memory of the previous owner will be erased.

Medusa stared at the paper, her brow furrowed slightly. There seemed to be a sixth rule...where did it go?

Could it be that the sixth rule was tailor-made for Dusk?

She pulled herself together and re-examined the first five rules.

A curse... There are currently twelve forbidden items lost outside.

She sensed it carefully—

One of them, in the United States, is the Ghost Glove;

The other eleven items are in the direction of the capital.

She pondered for a moment.

Satan took the eleven forbidden items during the day, but he could not take them back to Hell.

Therefore, those things should be in the hands of the man who helped him get out of trouble.

I vaguely remember that the man's name was Cao Ye.

"Cao Ye..."

She murmured the name, and then recalled the iron birds in the sky that could breathe fire.

"It should be a creation of humankind in this era."

Medusa murmured to herself, sighing with heartfelt emotion:

"Humans are really... getting smarter and smarter."

Those iron birds possessed immense power, more than enough to deal with ordinary supernatural beings.

What she didn't know was that the thing was called the Anti-Anomaly Second Generation Fighter Jet, and there was only one in the entire Xia Kingdom. Its cost was astronomical.

"I should learn more about human history, and the history of this antique shop."

She walked towards the lobby, stepped behind the counter, and began rummaging through the drawers.

"The manager's notes?"

Medusa turned the yellowed pages of the book.

The document is filled with detailed records of the deeds of the previous managers in accumulating forbidden items, as well as the details of each transaction.

Those forbidden items were relics of the powerful beings from the Age of Gods and the Age of Gods' Fall—

Many of them are very famous figures.

She read on, secretly marveling at the experience.

"Truly worthy of being called the Emperor of Ten Thousand Generations."

Even the divine palace left behind after the Emperor's death possesses such power.

A cool, clear voice rang out from the lobby:

"Who are you?"

Medusa lowered her head, picked up the purple gauze ribbon to cover her eyes, and then raised her head to "look" at the person who had come.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly:

"Madam, my name is Medusa."

She paused, then added:

"I've heard of you—Daji, the beauty of the human peak, and the lover of Emperor Xin."

She lowered her head again, her slender fingers sliding across the note, stopping at a line of text:

"Your records are also here."

Nine-tailed fox demon pill.

The person who arrived was none other than Daji.

She sensed that Jiang Chaosheng had left the antique shop, leaving behind even his personal Dragon Ball, Death Scythe, Fiery Lancet, and Forgotten Ring.

She knew that something had happened to her husband.

Although her husband had told her to stay in her room and never come out until he returned—

But how could Daji do nothing?

She wanted to see who had taken the antique shop and whether she could eliminate them.

Daji moved gracefully to Medusa's side, glanced down at the journal, and spoke indifferently:

"Western barbarians, you can even read the Xia script?"

These words were utterly insulting, but Medusa remained unperturbed, smiling as she replied:

"You've lost your memory, or perhaps you've already forgotten—"

The Xia script was the common language among the gods.

I can not only read and speak, but also write.

In the past, many deities considered it the most elegant thing to imitate the calligraphy of the folk calligraphy masters of the Xia Kingdom.

And I am the best calligrapher on Mount Olympus.

Daji frowned.

She did lose her memory, but it is slowly returning.

Medusa exclaimed:

"The first thing the emperor did after unifying the six kingdoms was to standardize the written language."

Although these characters are different from those used back then, I can still understand their meaning.

Daji has recently read many history books about the Xia Kingdom.

She knew that the First Emperor had swept across the six kingdoms and unified the Xia Dynasty.

The "six states" as commonly known refer only to the six states outside of Qin, which is too narrow a definition.

The true six directions are up, down, east, south, west, and north.

"Shang" represents the Eastern Heaven, the Western Heaven, the Pure Land of Buddha, Mount Olympus, and Asgard;

"Down" represents the Avici Hell, the Netherworld, the Land of the Dead, and the Underworld.

Medusa smiled:

"I didn't expect you to have forgotten even this."

Daji remained expressionless.

"I don't need to remember anyone except my husband."

Medusa's face showed surprise:

"It seems you really have amnesia."

I even forgot your legendary three wonders—

It is precisely because of these three unique qualities that you are called "Human Peak".

Even your husband, Emperor Xin, and even the unifying emperor who ruled the world for ten thousand generations, could not compare to him.

Daji frowned: "The Three Absolutes?"

Medusa's eyes gleamed with envy: "That's what all women envy."

She held up one finger:

"Daji's beauty was unparalleled in the three realms."

As she said this, she secretly used her spiritual power to observe Daji—beautiful, flawless beauty.

She was clearly a seductive fox, yet she was as pure and innocent as an angel.

Medusa extended her second finger:

"Daji's knowledge of magic was unparalleled in the mortal world."

She didn't need to say more—Lucifer had also commented on this:

Daji may not be the strongest magician, but she is certainly the most knowledgeable in magic.

If she can unlock the divine aperture, she must be a powerful deity no less than Satan or Hades.

Medusa's lips curled into a cryptic smile:

"Daji's karma is unique in the world."

The Last Human Emperor and the Emperor of Ten Thousand Generations—these two were the most terrifying emperors in thousands of years.

One defeated the heavens and the underworld, freeing humanity from the slavery of the gods and laying the foundation for the unification of the three realms;

Another hero who swept across the land was the only one in history to unify the realms of the gods and the underworld.

And you—Daji, the Human Peak—are the wife of the last Human Emperor, and the Emperor of Ten Thousand Generations is also your suitor.

This karmic connection is greater than anyone else's in the Three Realms.

Daji's face darkened.

If it were an ordinary woman, she might have been complacent about this glory that is irreplaceable in the three realms.

But Daji only felt disgusted.

She loved only her Di Xin—any other man's covetousness towards her only disgusted her.

Even if that person is an emperor who rules the three realms for all eternity.

Medusa looked Daji up and down again and laughed:

"Truly worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in history."

You see, even the cold-hearted nature of dusk couldn't bear to erase you.

Daji's eyes flashed with a cold light, and talismans floated up behind her.

Medusa frowned and asked, puzzled:

"You're going to attack me?"

Is it only for you that you show tenderness towards the twilight?

"Clearly, I'm a manager now too."

Daji formed a hand seal with one hand, unleashing a powerful aura, and coldly said:

"Twilight is my husband!"

Medusa's brows furrowed deeper and deeper:

"Your husband?"

Isn't he the last emperor?

Rumor has it that you were steadfastly loyal to the last emperor, but I never expected you to fall for another man.

Suddenly, Medusa realized something and cried out:

"Twilight is that Human Emperor?!"

Daji didn't reply; she had already shot out two talismans.
