Places like women's wellness clubs generally did not open until noon. Once the drowsy midday hours had passed, the technicians would freshen up, freshen their breath, dress themselves up alluringly, and only then perk up enough to officially receive customers.
This place, however, was no ordinary wellness club. The technicians inside were especially energetic. They had only closed their doors that morning to go along with the crowd; banging on the door might startle them, but it would not truly disturb their rest.
So Liu Chang'an began banging on the door. Since he was not disturbing anyone, it did not count as poor manners.
Shangguan Dandan stood beside him, kicking the door in rhythm with him.
"Who is it?!"
A gruff voice answered from inside. Slippered footsteps approached, the inner door opened, and the rolling shutter was pulled up, revealing the tall, upright Zhuru.
The moment he saw Liu Chang'an and Shangguan Dandan standing at the entrance, Zhuru felt his legs begin to shake.
Liu Chang'an alone was already frightening enough to make someone piss themselves while reverting to their original form and fleeing. Add this mysterious little girl to the mix, and the double pressure made Zhuru feel that even the terror of meteors falling from the heavens in ancient times was nothing compared to this.
God Clan... God Clan... No, were us strange beasts about to be exterminated again today?
Remembering how people often said his breath stank, Zhuru hurriedly pulled out a breath freshener from his pocket and sprayed it into his mouth several times.
Only then did he force a smile and ask, "You two... you two have honored us with your presence. May I ask what brings you here?"
He controlled every muscle in his body, refusing to let himself collapse into a limp heap.
