60: Spiritual Realm Opening
Zhao Shijie looked at Chu Yunxuan.
He even forgot that the dishes in his hand had fallen to the ground.
Gulp—
He couldn't help but swallow.
He didn't know why.
His back and scalp felt inexplicably tingly.
“Uh—”
Chu Yunxuan rubbed the tip of his nose.
“Should I leave?”
After speaking, he turned around, ready to depart.
“Wait!”
Zhao Shijie called out to Chu Yunxuan.
“Are you here to eat?” Zhao Shijie asked.
“Yes, I’m hungry,” Chu Yunxuan said.
“Come in,” Zhao Shijie said.
He still didn't believe Chu Yunxuan was some heavenly star of solitude!
Bullshit!
How could such a thing exist!
The hotel collapsing was just a coincidence!
Since Chu Yunxuan had delivered himself to his doorstep again, then Zhao Shijie couldn't be blamed.
He would put something in his food later!
Just wait.
Chu Yunxuan smiled inwardly, but on the surface, he deliberately showed some concern and said, “But I’m afraid something else might happen.”
“Bullshit heavenly star of solitude!”
Zhao Shijie roared.
“I'm not an idiot; it was just a coincidence. How could I possibly blame you? All guests are welcome. Since you're here to eat, how could I turn you away? What would you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it. This is also my family’s restaurant, so please don't be shy.”
Chu Yunxuan nodded: “Alright then, I was worried you might think it was my fault.”
Zhao Shijie said: “How could that be!”
Chu Yunxuan walked towards an empty table.
“Ding… Calamity System triggered.”
Chu Yunxuan: “…”
What a sin!
This Zhao Shijie was truly sinful.
Just at this moment…
A man eating nearby clutched his stomach in pain:
“Ah… My stomach! It hurts so much!”
“What’s wrong? What happened to you?” Zhao Shijie quickly asked.
At the same time, many people began clutching their stomachs.
“Ah, my stomach hurts so much.”
“Waiter, waiter, why does my stomach hurt so much? Is there something wrong with your food?”
“It hurts so much! My stomach, quick, quick, send me to the hospital.”
“…”
Zhao Shijie was dumbfounded.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Shijie and his father stood at the entrance of the restaurant.
They watched helplessly as the restaurant was plastered with a sealing notice.
“Are you the owner of this restaurant?”
The person from the relevant department looked at Zhao Shijie’s father, Zhao Dashan.
“Yes, I… I am.”
Staff member: “Damn it, your stuff is quite poisonous. Even Mystic Body Realm Martial Artists got food poisoning.”
“No… It’s not like that… There must be a misunderstanding,” Zhao Dashan said, flustered.
“Forget about any misunderstanding. Can a misunderstanding cause everyone who ate at your restaurant to get food poisoning?”
“Your restaurant is suspected of multiple illegal activities, including food safety risks, hygiene violations, and operating without proper permits, resulting in thirty-two people inside the restaurant being hospitalized for food poisoning. Your restaurant is now permanently closed, subject to the highest possible fines, and other penalties. Just wait for the official decision to be issued.”
After speaking, the staff member walked away.
“What a sin, what a sin! A hotel, a restaurant, my decades of hard work! All gone.”
Chu Yunxuan gently patted the dumbfounded Zhao Shijie on the shoulder, then walked away.
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! My fate is so strong! It’s impossible!”
Zhao Shijie had a blank expression.
…
“It seems that people who harbor ill will towards me are highly likely to trigger the Calamity System.”
Chu Yunxuan seemed to have found this pattern.
But it was hard to say.
Did Song Shuheng also harbor ill will towards him?
“Perhaps it just increases the probability of triggering calamity if someone has ill will towards me. Strangers have a probability, but those with good intentions have no probability at all. This should be reasonable.”
Chu Yunxuan pondered for a moment.
“So, that means this Zhao Shijie truly harbored deep hatred for me!”
Chu Yunxuan, holding onto his thoughts, walked for several hours on the road.
He triggered the Calamity effect more than a dozen times.
They were all passersby.
But the calamities varied in severity.
This also largely confirmed Chu Yunxuan’s idea.
And it was already dark.
Chu Yunxuan was too lazy to find a Miss to spend the night with.
His gaze fell upon a small shop in front of him.
The shop name was “Anywhere’s Good Foot Massage.”
“I’ll go get a massage and just spend the night at the massage parlor, wouldn’t that work?”
Thinking this, Chu Yunxuan walked over.
…
“Xiao Jie.”
Zhao Shijie’s father, Zhao Dashan, seemed to have aged a dozen years.
“The family… is bankrupt.”
Zhao Shijie frowned.
“How could we go bankrupt? We saved quite a bit of money over the years, didn't we?”
Zhao Dashan said: “The hotel is gone, a huge loss. The restaurant’s maximum penalty should be several hundred thousand, and all thirty-two people are hospitalized. Various expenses will be several million at least. If I don't go to jail, I’ll have to pay several million in bail. When you add it all up, there’s not much money left.”
Click, click, click—
Zhao Shijie clenched his fists tightly!
Why did this happen!
“Tell me, that Chu Yunxuan, is he really a heavenly star of solitude?”
“I… I don’t know anymore.”
Zhao Shijie said, lowering his head.
“Sigh, what a sin. Decades of painstaking effort, ruined in a single day,” Zhao Dashan sighed.
Then he looked at his current shop.
“This is our family’s only remaining storefront. Although business isn't that great, we can still earn some money each month. I’ll see if I can pick a batch of prettier girls later. I hope we can make a comeback.”
Zhao Shijie said: “We definitely can!”
Zhao Shijie then sighed.
How did he suddenly go from a rich second-generation to a debt-ridden second-generation?
Click—
Just at this moment, the shop door opened.
Chu Yunxuan walked in and said, “Boss, do you still have technicians? I’d like a massage.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Then Zhao Shijie also turned around and looked over.
At that instant, his pupils constricted violently.
His heart suddenly sank with a “thump.”
And Chu Yunxuan was also startled, asking:
“Uh, are you two also here for a relaxing massage?”
Zhao Shijie swallowed: “This… This is my family’s shop.”
Chu Yunxuan: “…”
“Cough, cough, your family’s business is quite extensive, huh? Then I’ll go to another place,” Chu Yunxuan said.
What a damn sin.
He really didn’t follow Zhao Shijie on purpose.
Why did he happen to enter his family’s shop?
Chu Yunxuan even felt a little pity for this guy.
He almost couldn't bear it, hahaha, damn it.
“Stop!” Zhao Shijie called out to Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan stopped.
“A massage, right? I’ll arrange it for you! We have technicians, I’ll find you the prettiest one,” Zhao Shijie said.
Bullshit heavenly star of solitude!
Bullshit!
Bullshit!
He didn’t believe it!
You, Chu Yunxuan, have run into me a third time.
Then don't blame him, Zhao Shijie, anymore.
Once or twice, you got lucky!
The third time, how will you escape?
“What about the price?”
“How can I charge you? Go upstairs.”
Chu Yunxuan: “One thing at a time, it’s not easy for you either. The money still needs to be paid.”
Just at this moment…
“Ding… Calamity System triggered.”
Thump, thump, thump—
Upstairs, a man ran down in a hurry.
“Poisonous! It’s poisonous! Damn it, it’s poisonous!”
The man ran down, shouting angrily.
“Huh? Big brother, what’s poisonous?” Zhao Shijie looked bewildered.
The man pointed at his swollen lips: “Look at my lips! That woman is poisonous! She poisoned me into this state.”
Zhao Shijie: “…”
“You! You! Black-hearted shop! I’ll smash your shop, damn you!”
The man roared, and his Qi erupted.
One minute later.
Chu Yunxuan stood at the entrance of the foot massage parlor.
The foot massage parlor had already turned into ruins.
“My shop! My last shop!”
Zhao Dashan knelt there, his face full of despair.
Zhao Shijie trembled all over.
He believed it!
He really believed it.
Chu Yunxuan…
Damn plague god incarnate!
“Uh…” Chu Yunxuan rubbed the tip of his nose.
“Go!” Zhao Shijie pointed into the distance and yelled at Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan: “Don’t be too…”
“Go! !”
“I’m going, I’m going.”
Chu Yunxuan then left the place.
What a sin.
“What sin have I, Zhao Shijie, committed!” Zhao Shijie cried out to the sky.
However, just at this moment…
Outside Qingmu County, in the Monster Beast Domain.
Suddenly, a familiar blue light shot up into the sky.
At the same time.
Everyone looked over one after another.
“The Spirit Domain has opened!”
“Quick, quick, quick! The Spirit Domain has opened.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
“…”
Chu Yunxuan raised an eyebrow.
“It finally opened.”
