It was at the right saltiness level and was very fragrant.
Baili Jiajue knew that the woman in his arms liked to eat Cantonese food the most, but today, she didn't touch the chicken feet and noodles, but ate the dishes that he had made. Her stomach was bulging from eating and even asked him if there was anymore.
"I'll make it for you tomorrow. " Baili Jiajue helped Helian Weiwei rub her stomach with a moderate amount of strength. He wasn't even aware of how lovingly he was looking at her.
However, he still had to settle the score.
"My respected master, although we are together in life and death, but if you dare to mention separating again in the future, I will definitely break your legs and shatter your claws." Baili Jiajue's words were said close to Helian Weiwei's ear and his voice was very deep and low. He did not seem like he was joking at all.
Helian Weiwei also knew that this time, she had misunderstood him. But she still asked, "Is there any use for me to drink divine water now?" She had to grow up eventually.
"My master." Baili Jiajue reached out and pulled Helian Weiwei's hand over, then looked down and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. "You are a Buddhist Phoenix. No matter in the past or now, you are relying on your undefeatable merit, aren't you?"
Helian Weiwei smiled handsomely. "You are right. This way, we can still earn more money. Recently, my Taobao shop's rating has also gone up. If I take in another evil spirit, my merit will be fulfilled. Later, I will go check my inbox and see if there are any requests to accept."
As soon as Helian Weiwei finished saying this, someone knocked on the door of the house.
This villa was very big and it was located in the forest. Under normal circ.u.mstances, no one would come.
The Butler would often come in, but he could only do that with Baili Jiajue's permission.
Ever since Helian Weiwei had moved into the villa, she had never heard the sound of a doorbell like this.
The villa was divided into two levels. The two of them were sitting in the living room downstairs, which happened to be not far from the door.
The person outside leaned against the wooden door and listened. When he saw that no one answered the door, he raised his hand and knocked a few times.
"How strange, that's the address clearly written here." That person held the envelope in his hand and looked at the villa in front of him. He furrowed his brows puzzledly. "Could it be that they all went out? They shouldn't be working at this time, right? And it can't be that there's not even a servant in such a large villa, right?"
As he was muttering, the wooden door in front of him opened, and a ridiculously handsome face appeared before him. For a few moments, he wondered if he had just seen some huge celebrity.
"Hello, this is your registered letter!" said the postal clerk loudly, and handed the letter in his hand to the owner of the villa.
Baili Jiajue had been in the modern world for so long, yet he had never received a letter. This kind of thing that only appeared in ancient times. He didn't expect that in the 21st century, when information was so developed, there would still be such a thing.
"What's wrong?" Helian Weiwei held a steamed bun in her mouth and put her arm on Baili Jiajue's shoulder. She looked at the registered letter in his hand and then frowned.
After all, in this era, very few people would use a registered letter, unless there was some secret that they did not want people to know.
Helian Weiwei took the registered letter and tore it from the side. There was only a piece of paper inside. That piece of paper was completely black, and there was a line of words written in red regular script on it.
"First of all, thank you for reading this letter. My master is very interested in the business that you are engaged in. Recently, my house has been restless, please come and meet me."
Other than this sentence, there was an address.
Helian Weiwei was very familiar with that address. It was one of the eight alleys in the capital. It was hidden very deeply and not many people knew about it.
Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully. "Interesting."
The fact that this person could locate her like this showed that the other party wasn't simple.
Helian Weiwei liked a client who did not lack money!
Returning to the villa, Helian Weiwei casually tidied herself up. She matched a simple black t-shirt with a pair of denim shorts. She threw on an all white windbreaker that was the same one that G-Dragon had. It reached all the way to her knees and made her look really cool.
Helian Weiwei did not let Baili Jiajue drive the car. The most convenient way of getting to these old alleys was by motorbike.
Her long legs crossed over her BMW S1000RR and let Baili Jiajue ride pillion.
He actually liked sitting like that very much. He stretched out his hand and hugged Helian Weiwei's waist.
The villa wasn't very far from the alley.
The BMW S1000RR's rate of turning heads was still very high.
Helian Weiwei crossed the alleyway and with a beautiful swing of her bike's tail, she parked the bike in front of a wooden door with a stone lion.
It was a very large courtyard house. It was built with ancient blue tils and used dark-colored sandalwood for the door.
To be able to afford such a large house in a place like the capital, one not only had to be rich, but also had power.
So Helian Weiwei suspected that the person who invited them this time was very likely to be linked to the military or they were government officials.
It was just that the current situation was a bit strange.
Because outside the door, besides Helian Weiwei and Baili Jiajue, there seemed to be other people who were here for the same reason as them.
One of them wore a monk's robe and did not have a beard. He looked about forty years old and had a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. Behind him was a group of people who looked like bodyguards.
Those who didn't know better would think that they were here to fight.
Another lady was a girl from Taipei. She looked very sweet, but she was wearing a black gauze skirt and a black rose on her head. She looked like she was in her twenties. She was holding a crystal ball in her hand. Apparently she was from a line of witches, was psychic and had been on many variety shows. She had become very popular, and recently, she started a live broadcast on the internet. She only received one guest every week and read her guest's fortune.
Now, she had become the most popular person in the circle. Regardless of whether one believed in divination or not, they would faithfully watch her live broadcast every Tuesday night.
There were another two more besides these. One of them was a youth who looked like he had just graduated from high school. There was no emotion on his smooth and fair face.
Chapter 1095 - Charismatic Weiwei
When they heard the sound of the BMW S1000RR's engine, everyone turned to look at Helian Weiwei.
The mysterious man put down his hand that was still calculating something, and he made a face. "Another one is here."
It turned out that everyone here had received that black invitation.
"Someone has called all of us here but doesn't even come out at all." The man was obviously already somewhat unhappy and he kept his eyes on the wooden door. "This house is also strange."
The rest of the people didn't speak. It was clear that these people had met before in the fengshui circles and didn't want to give in to each other at all.
Except for Helian Weiwei...
The man looked in her direction again. "Miss, which school did you learn from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I'm self-taught." Helian Weiwei smiled lightly and gave him this simple reply before taking a step forward. She basically understood the situation in front of her. Someone had led them to this courtyard house and let them all meet first, so that they would know that the customer had not decided exactly who would get this business deal.
When the man
heard Helian Weiwei's words, he did not hide his laughter. "Then you have to be careful. Don't cry when you meet a ghost."
"I won't cry." Helian Weiwei turned her head and smiled. "I'm afraid that you will be the one who cries."
"You! " The man didn't expect Helian Weiwei to be so sharp-tongued. He was originally looking for an easy target to bully. He knew the other people were all more famous than him. It was rare to finally find someone less famous, but this girl wasn't grateful for his attention at all!
How could Helian Weiwei not see through his thoughts? She casually curved her thin lips upwards.
That kind of attitude made him very angry!
The man looked at her as he grit his teeth and sneered, "Nowadays, the younger generation is becoming more and more disrespectful to their teachers. They don't have much ability, but they are quite boastful."
"Master Zhang." The other girl opened her mouth to interrupt the man's words and her eyes were like amber, "What we need to do now is to find out who called us here, not fight among ourselves."
Master Zhang's attitude changed and he laughed. "Miss Li Ya is still the one who understands reason. However, this door can't be pushed open. How are we going to get in?"
The girl hugged the crystal ball in her hand. Her willow-like eyebrows slightly furrowed as she fell into deep thought.
Helian Weiwei never bothered to do anything that wasted time like this. She glanced at Baili Jiajue and strode towards the dark sandalwood door.
"Someone is not only impolite, she also doesn't understand what others are saying," Master Zhang sneered.
Helian Weiwei didn't have the time to pay attention to him. She couldn't be bothered to be distracted when she was at work. Once she was done here, she was going to show this Master Zhang how 'polite' she was.
She used her strength, but the wooden door didn't have the slightest intention of moving.
Master Zhang looked at Helian Weiwei from behind and gave another disdainful smile.
The wooden door refused to open, but a recording started playing.
"Everyone, welcome to pawnshop number eight. If you want to pawn something, please come inside."
That monk also frowned. "What the hell, it's this again?"
In other words, before she came, everyone heard this recording when they pushed the door open.
Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows and once again looked at the wooden door in front of her.
Since it couldn't be pushed open, then it was controlled by other things.
A mechanism?
Master Zhang felt that it was too hot and found a shady place to stand. From time to time, he would talk to that witch called Li Ya.
After seeing Helian Weiwei's action, he made a face again. "Someone with an abnormal brain came. It's really worrying."
Helian Weiwei didn't hear this sentence.
But Baili Jiajue heard it. He turned his head and slowly raised his black gloved hand. He then used his hand to make a shooting action at Master Zhang like his hand was a gun.
"Hur."
This low laughter was one that a demon would let out only when he met the most detestable human.
However, Master Zhang did not know that. He only opened his mouth and let out an angry scoff. "Where did these two people come from? They are so arrogant."
"Amitabha." The monk raised one hand. "Don't lower yourself to the level of the younger generation. I reckon that they don't have much ability. They're just here to share the spoils."
Master Zhang sneered. "Later, when they encounter something, I want to see how they will continue to act cool. They are standing at the door and touching it all over. Is there something wrong with their brains?"
"Forget it, is there any contact information written on your letter?" The monk lowered his eyes. "It's still important to first find out who called you and me here."
Master Zhang and the monk usually didn't see eye to eye, but that was when they were competing against each other. However, it was different now. There were other people here today as well, and they didn't want to give such a lucrative business to the other few.
"Other than a sentence on the letter, this is the address. There's nothing else. The problem is that this door doesn't open and I can't tell if there's anyone inside or not!"
Just as Master Zhang was complaining, Helian Weiwei's gaze locked onto the string of red lanterns hanging on the wooden door. Those lanterns looked like ornaments, but there was no wick. Instead, there was a string hanging on one side.
Helian Weiwei's eyes narrowed and pulled the string down.
Kacha!
Master Zhang and the monks heard the sound and paused. They looked at the slowly opening wooden door in front of them and didn't know what just happened.
Helian Weiwei's hand pulled on the string, and with another pull, the wooden door completely opened!
The next thing everyone saw was a very typically Chinese pawnshop within a courtyard house with a lot of roses in bloom. Everything looked rather old fashioned and the pathways were all covered in green tiles. It had probably remained uninhabited for a long time, so there was barely any sunlight inside and it looked rather gloomy.
It was very obvious that the wooden door could be opened because Helian Weiwei had found the right way of opening it.
The youth was the first to walk towards Helian Weiwei. He didn't say much and just said "You're smart."
However, Master Zhang didn't think so. She just happened to spot a string, didn't she? If they had spotted it, they would have opened the door too.
The few of them strolled into the courtyard house. The group of bodyguards that the monk brought didn't come in as well because immediately after the monk walked in, the wooden door behind them slammed shut again!
Master Zhang and the monk immediately turned around and used both of their hands to push hard, but the wooden door didn't budge.
"This is really strange!" He cursed heavily in a low voice, then turned around to look at this very Chinese courtyard and frowned.
Unlike him, Helian Weiwei knew well that normally, this kind of mechanism would have a time limit. Once time was up, the wooden door would close again. Unless they pulled that rope from outside again, they simply couldn't get out anymore!
Chapter 1096 - His Highness in Military Uniform
In reality, the courtyard they were in wasn't big, because it was a house with a house. They could only go inside after they got through this one.
Right in front of them was a room with the word 'pawnshop' written on it.
There wasn't a single person in the room. But once they walked into the next room, a voice started speaking again.
"I know what everyone wants to pawn. Everyone's contracts have already been prepared and placed on the table. Please sign the contract and come to the counter to exchange it. You will know everything you want to know."
Helian Weiwei looked at the copper coins scattered on the wooden table. There was indeed a contract on the table. The item they were supposed to pawn as per the contract were their very lives!
Helian Weiwei, Jing Zifeng, Wu Fan, Li Ya, Zhang Qichao.
Except for a certain highness, everyone's name was written on the contract without any mistake.
It made it seem like they were all going to die here.
Master Zhang's face was livid. "Who is playing this stupid prank on us?!"
"When I received this registered letter, I felt that something was wrong." The monk looked around. "The yin energy in this room is too strong. It's not good for anyone to stay here any longer. Why don't we think of a way to get out as soon as possible? Things won't be so simple when the sky turns dark."
Master Zhang immediately agreed. "Master Wu Fan is right. There's something strange in this room. I can't sense any resentment, but it's very gloomy. It's better to leave as soon as possible."
"Did you forget that the door to enter is blocked?" Jing Zifeng's tone didn't match his age at all and it was awfully cold.
Master Zhang didn't dare to provoke this youth. After all, he was the only one who watched him get out of a military vehicle.
Master Zhang was full of questions, but he didn't say anything.
Li Ya, who was holding the crystal ball, closed her eyes. Her beautiful eyebrows seemed to be in pain for a moment. Then, she opened her eyes and said weakly, "My sixth sense tells me that we must sign this contract in order to have a chance."
"Miss Li Ya, you are really too amazing! " Master Zhang looked at her with eyes that seemed to be full of admiration.
Helian Weiwei gave a low laugh and didn't say anything.
Sixth sense?
The recording had already clearly told them that they had to sign the contract to know everything they wanted to know.
Was there still a need to use sixth sense?
However, as long as it didn't affect her, Helian Weiwei wouldn't do anything that would ruin her reputation.
Besides, the person who sent the registered letter had already aroused her curiosity to a large extent.
"But how do we sign the contract?" Master Zhang seemed to believe in the words of the witch, Li Ya, and that belief in her seemed mixed with some liking towards this woman.
After all, Li Ya's appearance was what most otaku men in their thirties liked. The most important thing was that she was very weak, and made others want to protect her when they saw her.
Li Ya shook her head. "I just used up a little too much spiritual energy. I need to take a good rest and maybe I can find a way."
There was only one room, and on the other side was a counter.
The small door of the counter could not be pushed open.
Helian Weiwei tried it for a while, then raised her eyes to look at the contract drawn on the wooden table.
If she followed this train of thought, then as long as she found a way to sign the contract, this wooden door would open automatically.
Helian Weiwei walked to the wooden table again. Her eyes swept past the red mud at the side. She pressed her thumb on the mud to get a reddish stain on it and pressed it towards the place where the contract was to be signed.
