Film and Television: Living in an Apartment, Part-Time Soul Ferryman

Page 102

Huanhuan and Lanlan are two Qing Dynasty princesses. Zhao Li met them while recuperating at the Dongtianfudi Scenic Area. Two days ago, he invited them to perform a play at the convenience store.

Xia Dongqing kindly advised, "Zhao Li, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're always a hundred times unwilling to let those poor ghosts stay in the shop a little longer."

"Now look at you, indulging in debauchery and violating the rules there. You deserve to be punished!"

Zhao Li was furious, even a little exasperated, and pointed at Xia Dongqing's nose, "What did you say?"

You know perfectly well what I'm saying!

Wang Xiaoya, who was standing to the side, tried to mediate the fight, but was rebuked by Zhao Li.

You are not welcome here!

Xia Dongqing was furious. "Zhao Li, how can you talk like that? When you got into trouble last time, Xiao Ya even went to save you!"

Zhao Li scoffed, "Heh, save me? With my abilities, do I need your help?"

"Just kidding, you guys actually took it seriously!"

Xia Dongqing, unable to bear it any longer, cursed, "Did you get your head stuck in a door?!"

Zhao Li snorted coldly, "Insulting the boss? You're out of pay this month!"

Xia Dongqing threw her apron on the ground and looked at Zhao Li with disappointment, "I'm not doing this anymore! The salary you're paying me is barely enough to feed a beggar!"

After saying that, he walked away!

After Xia Dongqing left, Zhao Li walked up to the pot of oden, smelled it, and wrinkled his nose.

"Damn it, the Fifth Young Master is pulling this stunt again!"

Wang Xiaoya asked curiously, "Why are you so disgusted? It tastes so good! This is the best oden I've ever had!"

"No, it's the most delicious food I've ever eaten in my life!"

Zhao Li glanced at her and asked, "Why are you still here? Aren't you going to chase after Xia Dongqing?"

Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes. "Why should I chase after him? He's your partner and your employee. You've driven him away; you should be the one chasing after him!"

Li Yang walked into the convenience store, and Wang Xiaoya greeted him excitedly.

"General Yang, you're a little late. Zhao Li has angered Dong Qing and driven him away!"

Li Yang smiled slightly, "I've been watching from outside the whole time. It's alright, Dongqing can't have gone very far!"

Zhao Li turned around and glanced out the window with a smile.

"How's it going? Has that silly boy Dongqing gotten in yet? 々?"

Li Yang nodded, "He went in, and was personally welcomed in by the Fifth Young Master!"

Wang Xiaoya's gaze shifted back and forth between Li Yang and Zhao Li. Although she was a bit eccentric, she wasn't stupid.

"Are you plotting something?"

"Zhao Li, you deliberately drove Dong Qing away, didn't you?"

Zhao Li smiled smugly, "How was my acting just now? Pretty good, right? Can I get an Oscar instead?"

Wang Xiaoya was so curious that she kept pestering Li Yang to tell her what fun things were going on, because she wanted to add one too!

But Zhao Li was preparing to throw away the pot used to cook oden, along with the entire pot of broth.

Wang Xiaoya exclaimed anxiously, "Zhao Li, why did you throw away such a delicious broth? You could have used it to make oden and attracted more customers to the convenience store!"

A strange expression appeared on Zhao Li's face, and he asked with a gloating smile:

"Little girl, you just said you've eaten oden cooked in this broth, right?"

Wang Xiaoya nodded hesitantly. She could tell from Zhao Li's expression that there must be something strange about the soup base!

Is it...

"No way, could there be some kind of banned plant in this soup base? I heard that if you add that stuff, it's addictive!"

Zhao Li chuckled, "The ingredients in this soup base are even more disgusting than prohibited plants. I just ate it a few days ago, and I ate it for several days in a row!"

vomit~

Recalling his experience a few days ago, and smelling that familiar aroma from the pot, Zhao Li almost vomited.

Wang Xiaoya's eyes widened instantly.

"You ate this a few days ago... Oh my god, could it be corpse oil?"

vomit~

Wang Xiaoya covered her mouth and rushed outside the convenience store to vomit violently.

Zhao Li glanced at the broth in the pot and curled his lip. "Back then, the Taotie used this method to incite humans to kill each other and then eat each other. It called humans 'two-legged sheep'!"

Li Yang looked out the window at the sign on the fifth floor.

"Dongqing has been inside for a while now. Do you think that Fifth Young Master plans to eat him today, or wait until tomorrow?"

Zhao Li sneered, "It's definitely today!"

"The gluttonous beast is a symbol of greed and gluttony; it certainly can't wait to devour Holly's eyes as soon as possible!"

Li Yang nodded. "Then let's stick to the plan and pull off a big heist!"

The two arrived at the door on the fifth floor and knocked.

A woman in a cheongsam came out and saw Zhao Li first.

"May I ask who you are looking for? If you are here for a meal, I'm sorry, but we do not accept walk-in customers!"

Li Yang stepped out from behind Zhao Li. "Hello, beautiful lady. I'm a food critic. I've heard the food on the fifth floor is delicious, so I'd like to try it. Could you do me a favor?"

The waitress looked at Li Yang, her eyes sparkling, hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head.

"I'm very sorry, this is a high-end club, and all guests must make reservations in advance... I advise you to leave immediately, this is not a place for you!"

Zhao Li rolled his eyes, feeling hurt.

As a shrewd person who has lived for thousands of years, he could easily tell that the waitress was advising Li Yang to stay away from the troublesome place on the fifth floor.

Depend on!

Treat them differently, right?

Just because he's handsome?

"Why waste so much breath on her? Just knock her out. If you can't bring yourself to do it, let me do it!"

Zhao Li rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action.

Li Yang raised his hand and gently touched the woman's eyes, a faint orange light merging into them.

“Have a sweet dream!”

The waitress instantly fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Li walked into the hall and found a garbage bag on the ground. He opened it and his brows furrowed instantly.

"Damn it, that damned Fifth Young Master has no manners at all. He just throws away the leftover scraps, and this bastard actually eats souls!"

Zhao Li was furious.

He stole souls on his own turf. If the underworld investigates, he will at least be held responsible for inadequate supervision!

"Get him! We have to get him really badly done!"

Zhao Li glanced at Li Yang and said, "You find a place to hide first. I'll go seduce... oops, seduce... no, I'll go lure the monster!"

Just as Li Yang had hidden himself away, the Fifth Young Master, who was preparing to take advantage of Xia Dongqing, heard a commotion outside and came out to check the situation.

Seeing Zhao Li examining the garbage bags, the Fifth Young Master asked in an icy voice, "Who are you?"

Zhao Li smiled slightly, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that the contents of the garbage bag are evidence of a crime!"

talking.

Zhao Li knelt on one knee before the Fifth Prince, after all, Taotie was the fifth son of the Dragon King, whose status was far higher than that of Zhao Li, the ferryman of souls.

"It's been a long time, Fifth Young Master!"

The Fifth Prince took a closer look and burst into laughter, "Zhao Li!"

When was the last time we met?

Zhao Li stood up and replied, "The Five Barbarian Invasions!"

The Fifth Prince chuckled, his tone mocking, "Oh, over a thousand years ago. I remember you were still a human back then!"

Zhao Li retorted sarcastically, not to be outdone, "Back then you ate a lot of people!"

The Fifth Young Master said nonchalantly, "They're just two-legged sheep!"

"But I don't eat people anymore. I can't eat people nowadays. Their bodies are full of toxins. Not only is it disgusting, but it might also give you diarrhea!"

He added smugly, "Now I have a new way to play: let them eat themselves!"

Zhao Li sneered, "But you eat their souls!"

“That’s right,” the Fifth Young Master admitted without hesitation, “I’m eating this stuff right now!”

After a heated exchange, the two began to talk about Xia Dongqing's peculiar eyes.

The Fifth Young Master said calmly, "I know those eyes aren't his. Hehe, I came here specifically for those eyes!"

"Only by consuming these eyes can I better obtain everything I desire in the future era of great strife!"

"Zhao Li, who do you think you are, to stop me?"

"A ferryman of souls? He's a clown, not even worthy to carry my shoes!"

Seeing Zhao Li's eager look, the Fifth Prince kept sneering.

"You want to fight me? Do you think you can beat me?"

Zhao Li's expression suddenly relaxed. "You're right, I can't beat you, but I've found someone who can... Li Yang, make your move!"

"Taotie, take this!"

A soft shout suddenly rang out.

The Fifth Prince was horrified. He found that his body had involuntarily knelt down and put his hands together above his head!

No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free of the restraints!

[Happiness percentage +1]

"Damn it, who is it? Stop hiding and show yourself!"

Li Yang emerged from the shadows, toying with a gem that shimmered with purple light in his hand.

"who are you?"

The Fifth Young Master stared intently at Li Yang.

Li Yang remained silent, walked up to the Fifth Young Master, and shoved the Demon Spirit Stone into his mouth.

Before the Fifth Young Master could even chew, the Demon Spirit Stone slid into his stomach like jelly.

"What did you give me to eat? It's so cool..."

The Fifth Young Master took a look, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "It seems to be a good-tasting thing, but it's not cooked enough. Do you have any more? Give me another one!"

Li Yang smiled slightly, and a surge of lightning erupted from his palm.

"Then I'll add a little more heat!"

One hundred million volts of discharge!

The surging lightning instantly engulfed the Fifth Prince.

The powerful lightning caused the Fifth Prince to scream in agony.

The air was filled with the smell of burning meat and the aroma of freshly cooked meat!

"Who are you, and why do you possess such powerful lightning abilities?"

"Did Father send you to capture me?"

In the Fifth Prince's understanding, apart from the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, only the strongest members of the Dragon Clan could wield such powerful lightning!

But gradually, he discovered that a seed seemed to be sprouting inside him!
