Chapter 502 Blazing Feather Array Star 3
Mingchao Drifter: "Fuck you! You still want to chase Changli, have you forgotten me?"
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Xing: "Humph, I'm not afraid of you. I'm the Galaxy Batman, and I will definitely catch up with Sister Changli."
Mingchao Changli: "Axing, I'm very happy that you like me, but I want to tell you that you are not my type."
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Xing: "No! Don't do that! Sister Changli!"
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Qiong: "Hahahahahahaha, silly sister, you acted like a playboy every day and finally got dumped! No, you weren't dumped, and no one even agreed to you!"
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Star: "You little bastard! How dare you openly laugh at your sister? Wait and see how I deal with you!"
The two pioneers started a big show of sister beating brother. Everyone in the train crew was used to it. They all turned their eyes back to the inventory and were not surprised at all that the two of them were fighting.
The inventory continues.
"Boss Chang Qing of Yanqingzhai has encountered two strange things recently."
“One is the bookstore business.
Longlong is a vast city with abundant resources. The fashion in the city is always changing. In recent years, people no longer value paper books, and the bookstore business has been declining. But in the past few days, the business has miraculously picked up, and there are many more people coming to the store to buy books than usual.
Judging from their attire, most of the customers were officials from the Central Court. Chang Qing was puzzled, so he went to ask the customers in the store, and the answers he got were mostly: "This is a place recommended by the Chief Secretary."
Chief Secretary? He vaguely heard that a new Chief Secretary was appointed to the Central Court recently, but how could a small bookstore owner like him have any connection with this high-ranking official?
“The second is the bookstore’s facade.
Due to the sluggish business, the facade of Yanqingzhai had not been repaired for a long time. Even the owner of the grocery store next door shook his head when he saw it.
"Mr. Chang, your storefront really needs some renovations. If it continues to shabby, people will start to think of it as a rotten warehouse!"
"You are the rotten warehouse. Although the scale is not as large as Mingting's bookstore, my Yanqingzhai has the most complete collection of rare and precious books! Good wine needs no bush, don't you understand?"
Having said that, Chang Qing also had some concerns in his heart, but he was too old to do heavy work, so he might as well take advantage of the recent pick-up in business and hire someone to do the repairs.
Honkai Impact 3rd: Lisa: "It's just a weird thing that happened in the bookstore, why do you have to write it in the inventory?"
Honkai Impact 3rd Cecilia: "What's there to be confused about, Theresa? This must be an incident that leads to the story about Miss Changli!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "That's right, even I can see it, Auntie, why are you so slow to react!"
Honkai Impact 3rd: Lisa: "This, this, of course I saw it! Kiana, I just wanted to test you just now!"
Original God Paimon: "Do you believe what you said?"
Mingchao Abu: "That's right, and there's also Kiana. Didn't you know that after listening to your mother's explanation? Do you really dare to say that you figured it out?"
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Why, why don't you change it? Of course I can see it, it's coming!"
Zero Phaethon Tsutsumi: "You stuttered when you spoke. It seems that Miss Kiana really pretended to understand it after listening to her mother's explanation."
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Nonsense, I didn't!"
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Hey, Kiana, don't quibble. No one will laugh at you."
The inventory continues.
"But when he arrived at the store the next day, he was stunned. The old and dusty storefront had disappeared overnight; the signboard and the main door were brand new, and the three gold-painted characters "Yanqingzhai" sparkled in the sun.
There was a piece of letter in front of the counter, which said that he was grateful for the boss' kindness and repaired the machine without permission as a token of gratitude. The letter was unsigned, but the vermilion fire feather pattern on the page looked familiar. Chang Qing sat down slowly, holding the letter, and fell into memories.
That was more than a decade ago when the bookstore business was booming. Among the customers coming and going, there was always a little girl of eight or nine years old who would sneak into the store and read a book for the entire afternoon. "
"Chang Qing didn't take it seriously at first. It's not uncommon to run a bookstore and encounter customers who only look but don't buy. As long as they don't damage the books and don't affect business, it's fine. However, for a few days in a row, sales plummeted and even the number of customers entering the store decreased significantly.
"It's too hot, too hot, I can't stay here any longer, let's go, let's go to other stores."
It was early autumn, but the house was unusually hot. Chang Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around carefully before he found a thin figure curled up in the shadow of the bookshelf, reading a book intently.
"There was a ball of fire floating in front of her, and the temperature in the room gradually rose as her expression changed as she read. When Chang Qing saw the scene, he felt furious.
"Where did you come from, kid? You want to burn down my store?!"
The flames suddenly went out, and the girl was startled by the roar. Chang Qing watched the page she was holding tightly turn yellow gradually, as if it was about to burn.
““You you you.!”
The girl hurriedly dropped the book in her hand and looked at the burn marks on the pages. An expression of panic and guilt appeared on her young face.
“Yes, sorry…it’s too dark here, I just want to provide some light…”
Seeing his treasured rare book being destroyed, and thinking of the declining accounts in the past few days, Chang Qing picked up the broom beside the bookshelf with a gloomy face and pretended to hit him. Unexpectedly, this kid looked thin but ran faster than a monkey. Chang Qing chased him out the door but only saw the flame-colored hair tail passing through the air. The small figure squeezed into the crowded market in an instant, leaving him standing there, angry and glaring.
"Don't let me see you again!"
Genshin Impact Mavica: "It seems clear from here that this little girl is Miss Changli, but Miss Changli was actually a naughty child when she was little!"
Mingchao Changli: "When I was young, I was ignorant and lit a fire to read in the dark. As a result, I accidentally burned the rare book in the store owner's collection. No wonder the store owner was angry. If it were me, my business sales were declining, and my treasured collection was burned after I lent it out with good intentions, I would also be very angry."
Star Railway Silver Wolf: "Indeed, it's like I worked so hard to get 76 game accounts, but some unethical old woman attacked me from behind, and finally all my accounts were banned. I was very angry!"
Star Dome Railway Big Black Tower: "What's wrong, little wolf? Didn't I just give you 76 game accounts? Look how angry you are. Haven't you got them all back now?"
Star Railway Silver Wolf: "Just because your game account is recovered doesn't mean the matter is over. I will settle accounts with you sooner or later."
The inventory continues.
"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" The owner of the grocery store next door came out with a smile and looked in the direction he was looking. "Hey, isn't that the little doll that can control fire?"
"You know her? She almost burned down my store just now!"
"That's not so exaggerated. She's a good kid. She helped me with a lot of work a few days ago just to get some steamed buns... Oh, she's pitiful. She's so young and alone, and she walked here on her own. I heard that the place she came from was attacked by a tide of elephants, and no one survived. I don't know how she managed to survive..."
“…Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
"You didn't ask! But from the looks of it...she probably doesn't dare to come back."
The frail figure of the little girl had disappeared at the end of the alley. The sound of children from the neighborhood playing and laughing could be heard from the street. Chang Qing looked at the book that had fallen on the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable.
