The Apocalypse Store had actually changed its name. That surprised Jiang Yang somewhat. Myriad Worlds Discount Supermarket—had this thing stopped profiting from war?
"Welcome, esteemed Lord of Death!"
Xiao Lai sat atop the counter, gazing at Jiang Yang with captivating charm. Any other man might have lost control of himself, but Jiang Yang felt nothing at all.
"I found Xiao Qi. What do you have to say for yourself?" Jiang Yang's expression was unfriendly. Xiao Lai had deceived him into entering the Zombie Plane, and he had been gone for three or four years.
"Plans can't keep up with changes. Besides, you had nowhere else to go back then!" Xiao Lai pursed her lips, looking aggrieved. "While you were gone, I handled the affairs of the Forbidden Zone for you all these years. Aren't you going to praise me?"
"Is the Apocalypse Store so short-staffed that it needs me to praise you?"
Jiang Yang's expression was cold. He did not want to waste words with Xiao Lai. After only a few sentences, he took out the Past Stone Slab. "Do you still want this?"
The Past Stone Slab could summon the Wandering Merchant. Jiang Yang did not want to give it to Xiao Lai, but he had promised her. If Xiao Lai truly wanted to return, there was nothing he could do.
"No. I've decided to keep working in customer service." Xiao Lai waved a hand, looking relieved. Jiang Yang looked astonished. "Keep working in customer service? You're not leaving?"
"I'm not leaving. There's nothing good about leaving the Apocalypse Store anyway. Ask Panyu about the specific reason."
"Who is Panyu?"
"The fake you keep talking about."
Him? Jiang Yang's expression sharpened as he recalled that pale-blue little figure—the counterfeit Earth Will.
Xiao Lai's decision to remain in customer service
