You Should Get Some Rest Too / Looking for Customers at the Bookshop

High-risk mission?

It seems this company is indeed not a good one.

She called to Luo Xiyan that they were ready to eat. Even if she had many doubts, she could only suppress them for now. Anyway, there were still six days left, which meant that the two boys had not yet fallen into a trap. She could find out more about them through her phone later, and she would also give them advice.

Pre-order Option A now!

"Ping-ge, how's it going? Have you asked Feng-ge yet? He's definitely the one among us who's most interested in superpowers, so he shouldn't refuse, right?"

Fanghua City

Zhao Lei rested one arm on the dining table, watching the restaurant owner bustling about, and asked without hesitation.

Zhao Ping was operating his phone, editing a message.

In fact, he also felt that Ling Feng would not refuse the temptation of such power. The group had grown up together, and Ling Feng had read more fantasy and supernatural light novels than all of them combined, not to mention the many "classics" in the magical and martial arts genres.

The problem is that we don't know where they are now, and we can't even see them normally. They don't answer the phone, so we can only communicate through their mobile phones.

Zhao Ping waited for a while, and seeing that there was no response from his phone, he was about to put it away when, coincidentally, the other party had already replied.

"Here he comes! He said he'll check again when the time comes!"

"What did Brother Feng say? Is it the day the 'superpower' training started?" Zhao Lei asked, a look of confusion on his face.

"I don't know, let's just wait and see."

Finally, after all the dishes were served, Zhao Lei removed his hand from his stomach.

He was busy preparing this morning, afraid that he might miss the "superpower" awakening plan, so he left in a hurry and didn't eat breakfast. Now he's starving.

While plating the dishes, the owner chuckled as he introduced them to the menu, "Here you go~ 'Dragon Crossing the Sea'! 'The Feeling of Heartache'! 'One Country, Two Systems'! And a 'Master Niu's Ramen'!"

Zhao Lei stared at a bowl of clear soup with a scallion floating on top, his face twitching slightly. He pointed with his index finger and asked, "Uncle, is this... 'The Dragon Crossing the Sea'?"

"Eat with confidence, they were just picked and are very fresh."

Looking at the boss's kind smile, without a trace of malice, Zhao Lei was stunned. He picked up the cup of "Heartache Feeling" plain water worth 99 yuan, took a sip, and the next moment, he truly felt heartache!

Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at a black and white plate. It was actually quite easy to understand. "One Country, Two Systems" was just fried peanuts and boiled peanuts.

"And... sir, why isn't there any beef in my noodles? I ordered the extra-large portion..."

Zhao Lei picked up his chopsticks and stirred the noodles, turning them over inside out, but he couldn't see any minced meat!

My surname is Niu (牛).

"..." "Uncle, aren't you thinking about the long-term business?"

The shopkeeper's brow furrowed. "Young man, have you ever been to Mount Tai?"

Zhao Lei was taken aback, then nodded somewhat uncertainly.

"That's right, so would you like to go again?"

"?!"

Zhao Lei was speechless. Actually, this was his first time eating here. He had only said those things to put Zhao Ping at ease. After all, he was traveling and didn't know anyone, so it would be good to give him some reassurance. He never expected to encounter such a situation.

Speaking of Zhao Ping, he suddenly felt a little puzzled. Why hadn't he said anything? He couldn't help but look over and saw the latter with his brows furrowed.

At this moment, Zhao Ping was holding chopsticks, constantly poking at a patch of crimson on his plate, his brows furrowing even deeper. "Why is there only tomato? Where are the Tomato?"

Zhao Lei: "..."

Seeing his serious expression, Zhao Lei was speechless again, unsure how to respond, since he was the one who had caused the mess.

"The tomatoes are in there too, so eat slowly, you'll be able to taste them all," the owner said with a serious smile.

Zhao Ping nodded meaningfully upon hearing this. After understanding the principle, he looked up and smiled, "Thank you, boss."

Zhao Ping: "..."

Boss. "..."

Linzhou City

Central Garden Community

After quickly finishing lunch in the kitchen, Ling Mengxue suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Xi Yan, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You seem to have changed a lot. Is something on your mind?"

Luo Xiyan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently and said softly, "Well... I feel a little disappointed that I can't be with you all the time."

What are you saying?

Ling Mengxue frowned slightly, seemingly very dissatisfied with Luo Xiyan's words. She reached out and pulled her into her arms, saying, "You won't be able to shake me off even if you want to. I'll chase you to the ends of the earth, until the very end of the world!"

[img=700,676] Chapter 110 You Should Also Take a Good Rest

Luo Xiyan, her expression revealing something beyond words.

Her understanding of love was actually quite superficial; she had never been in a relationship, and the children around her since childhood were all sons of top-tier wealthy families.

She was brought to the company by her father when she was only ten years old, and she would sit behind him on a small stool to listen. Now, he has forced 10% of the group's shares onto her.

Although there weren't many distant relatives in her family, almost none of them questioned her abilities. While a few members of the company's board of directors disliked her, a girl who wasn't even eighteen years old, taking on such a major responsibility, no one dared to speak out.

After all, it was Luo Xuan who personally made the decision; unless that person doesn't want to eat.

Luo Xiyan didn't like managing company affairs, but she couldn't disobey her parents, and besides, these things would probably fall into her hands in the future anyway.

Almost everyone who came into contact with her in the past had an ulterior motive. Skilled at reading people, she could tell just by looking into their eyes. No matter how well someone hid their intentions, they could not hide them from her.

Therefore, she rarely attends banquets or parties hosted by international celebrities or top wealthy families, and she has never even been to a class reunion.

But none of that matters anymore. She became Magical Girls, joined the Magic Association, made close friends, and found the person she cherished most. She no longer had to worry about anything and could do whatever she wanted.

Of course, there are quite a few trivial matters to deal with these days, but she seems to enjoy them.

"Xiaoxue, leave tonight's case to me... the one your classmate reported to the police."

Luo Xiyan leaned on her fragrant shoulder and spoke softly. Her voice had a strange penetrating power. Her gentle breath brushed against her ear, and half of Ling Mengxue's body went limp, her face turning bright red.

The girl's melodious and ethereal voice, sweet and soft, felt healing to the soul, refreshing and soothing, yet easily arousing the imagination and giving rise to certain wicked thoughts.

Her scent was sweet, carrying a dreamy, ethereal fragrance, and her slender, jade-like hands embraced him tightly.

However, how could Ling Mengxue just abandon her like that? Putting aside the fact that this was a task assigned to her by Ling Xiaoyu, she couldn't slack off. Moreover, it involved some kind of "monster," so naturally she couldn't let Luo Xiyan go on the dangerous mission alone.

After thinking it over, she resolutely refused, "I want to go."

"Actually, it's just an ordinary remnant soul. I'll perform a ritual to release it... uh, to save it. It won't take long," Luo Xiyan said, raising an eyebrow in a slightly strange tone.

"A ritual to deliver the deceased?" Ling Mengxue was stunned.

She had seen Buddhist holy monks and Buddhist language used to pray for the Restless Soul online or in novels, and there were also scenes of protagonists chanting sutras to help the Restless Soul pass away. But she never expected that Luo Xiyan would actually do this...

And there are actually remnant souls in this world? Isn't that just a ghost?

The Age of Magic hasn't even truly become widespread yet, and the Age of Mysteries is already on its way?

This is outrageous!

Luo Xiyan nodded, then realized something was wrong and shook her head sharply. "Performing a Restless Soul of the dead can suppress evil, greed, and desire in people's hearts, purify their minds, and prevent them from becoming vengeful ghosts. Moreover, it's rare to encounter such a ritual; a soul can only remain if it's in a specific magnetic field."

"Okay, I don't think I can really help. Can I go take a look?"

Ling Mengxue thought about it and was still very curious to witness the legendary 'ghost' firsthand, to see what it looked like, and whether it was really like the ones described in novels, capable of flying and disappearing into the earth, and even possessing people.

Whether the existence of a soul can be proven is still unknown, and she is not an expert in this field. She doesn't completely trust science and needs to be rational.

Luo Xiyan nodded. It wasn't a big deal anyway, so she decided to go. "I'll talk to Xiao Xiao later. Rehearsals will have to be suspended for a while, and I think she'll be a little upset."

"Is there something important?" Ling Mengxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Is it some kind of performance or something? Usually when similar activities are planned in Linzhuo, the guys in the class spread rumors faster than anyone else; nothing escapes their ears, and they're constantly spreading gossip.

Logically speaking, if there were any events involving celebrities, anime conventions, or similar activities, she would have known about them long ago, but she hasn't heard of any recently.

Besides the recently concluded parent-teacher conference, there are also those Central News about martial arts, magic, or the supernatural. The school is currently preparing for the school festival's gala...

Speaking of which, she suddenly remembered that the theme of this school festival was "Wilderness and Countryside," and it seemed that after the performance that night, they would be going out for a week of fieldwork.

Shaking her head, Ling Mengxue didn't dwell on it any longer. These were things the school had to arrange, and the student council had to prepare and organize. What was it to her, an ordinary student, worry about? Even the class monitor wasn't worried? It's none of my business, so I'll mind my own business!

Luo Xiyan, however, looked at her with great interest, "Xiao Xiao plans to participate in the new Idol Song-and-Dance Competition at Linzhuo Cinema City. It'll be about a month from now, and then we'll have to rely on her."

"You're really in high spirits." Ling Mengxue was somewhat surprised; she had never thought of this before.

However, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable deep down. After all, she was a model student, and performing a song and dance in front of so many people was incredibly embarrassing. But she was really going all out to help Su Xiaoxiao achieve her dream.

"It's okay, you can just handle the music and I'll sing." Seeing Ling Mengxue's embarrassed look, Luo Xiyan it somewhat amusing.

In her memory, Ling Mengxue was always quite shy.

Although she doesn't perform singing and dancing much herself, that doesn't mean she can't. She has even leveled up this skill to a very high level, which is definitely enough for her needs.

"Is that okay?" A look of confusion appeared on Ling Mengxue's face.

"Okay, stop overthinking. Go get some sleep, I'll wake you up tonight."

Ling Mengxue suddenly paused, "... Going to sleep in the middle of the day? Why don't you play some games first? Read some novels? Then watch some dramas and read some comics?"

"Confucius said: If you don't sleep at noon, you'll collapse in the afternoon. Mencius said: Confucius is right!" Luo Xiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at her in her heart, and secretly cast a sleeping spell to knock the person unconscious.

Before Ling Mengxue could react, her mind went blank, and she instantly fainted. In her dying moments, she felt inexplicably frustrated and wanted to curse, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Luo Xiyan slowly stood up, and a princess carry pulled her into his arms.

Looking at Ling Mengxue's profile, a few strands of snow-white hair fell down her ears, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings.

Luo Xiyan could vaguely sense a hint of resentment in his expression, but she didn't care at all and instead smiled.

"You should get some rest too."

[img=700,393]http://Chapter 111 Seeking a Guest in the Bookstore

After carrying the person back to the room, Luo Xiyan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but felt inexplicably guilty.

Xiaoxue won't blame me...

Probably?

Definitely not!

Luo Xiyan gently shook her head, not wanting to dwell on her thoughts any longer; she still had things to do.

She carefully closed the door and quietly left, like a ghost, without a sound.

Soon, relying on her past memories, she used spatial teleportation to arrive at the commercial street of Blue Garden District. After walking for a while, she found the bookstore "Truth Academy" that was "hidden" in the corner of the street.

As always, upon entering, one can smell the unique scent of ink that is only found in books.

The bookstore was not crowded, except for a few groups of young men and women chatting and drinking, sometimes laughing and joking, sometimes teasing each other, having a great time. However, they were all quite restrained and did not make much noise.

The shopkeeper was still the same old man, the newly published photo album of young women in his hand was already worn out from being read so many times. He was drinking some unknown hot tea, occasionally glancing around with a smile, looking at something with a slightly flustered expression, before continuing to bury himself in his "books".

Seemingly sensing something, the shopkeeper looked up towards the door and saw the young girl standing quietly with her eyes closed. His expression changed slightly, and his somewhat weathered eyes suddenly shone brightly with delight. He exclaimed, "Miss Luo?!"

"Found it..."

At the same time, Luo Xiyan slowly opened her eyes. She had just used her Divine Sense to search and find that familiar aura. Was it deliberately hidden?

Same as before...

At this moment, she also noticed the old shopkeeper's gaze. She paused for a moment, but still gave him a friendly smile. The smile was so sweet and refreshing that it made the person in question blush and exclaim that she couldn't take it.

"Miss Luo, are you here to see someone again? Or are you reading?" The old shopkeeper rubbed his hands, roughened by years of experience, and said with a smile.

While greeting them, he started brewing tea.
