After Waking Up, I Inherited a Bookstore 72

Chapter 72: Major Murder Incident

“We can be like that too,” Li Hanyan said, looking at Liu Chuxia with expectant eyes.

Liu Chuxia turned her face away. “I won’t. I can’t carry you, and I don’t want you to carry me. It won’t do if you counterattack me. I haven’t had enough of being on top yet.”

With that, she quickly walked into the room.

Li Hanyan also quickly followed, closed the door, picked up the person, and went to the bed.

“Ah! Li Hanyan! Put me down! No, we can’t do it again.” Liu Chuxia struggled, trying to break free from her grip, but her little bit of strength was no match for Li Hanyan, who had been killing ghosts outside for years.

After being put down on the bed, she looked at the person pressing down on her with pitiful eyes. “Hanyan, let’s not, okay? We have to be moderate, right? My waist is still sore.”

How could Li Hanyan be fooled by her tricks? She pressed the person tightly under her and said with a wicked smile, “Hah, who was it that did it all night, making me unable to get out of bed for a whole day? Begging for mercy was useless. Tonight, I have to let you enjoy this taste too.”

Then, a series of delicate moans came from the room. The combination of the two voices added a beautiful song to the moonlight of the night.

For the next few days, Xiao Xu opened the channel for taking orders. At first, there were a few more orders, but later, it averaged out to about five a day. The four humans and two ghosts split them up and solved them.

Besides solving the orders, the emergencies were all low-level ghosts and monsters, which Liu Chuxia could complete on her own. She was almost on a killing spree with that iron sword, and she had become a little famous in the ordinary ghost and monster circle. Some low-level ghosts and monsters would run the moment they saw her.

During this time, Liu Chuxia had a scabbard custom-made for the iron sword. It looked very beautiful and cool.

—

Early in the morning, Liu Chuxia heard someone knocking on the door. She frowned slightly, turned over, and patted Li Hanyan beside her. She said lazily, “Go and see who it is.”

Li Hanyan opened her drowsy eyes, not really wanting to get up. She reached out, pulled Liu Chuxia into her arms, and then didn’t move.

Liu Chuxia was so disturbed by the knocking that she couldn’t sleep. She lightly kicked Li Hanyan and said with a hint of anger, “Li Hanyan, go and open the door!”

They had been up too late yesterday, and neither of them was really awake. Li Hanyan pouted, squinted her eyes, got up, simply put on some clothes, and went to open the door.

If it wasn’t something very urgent, she would have beaten up the person who had disturbed her sweet dreams. She hadn’t had enough of hugging A Xia yet. That silky feeling was too comfortable. Who would want to get up?

She opened the door with a bit of anger in her heart.

Seeing the door finally open, Xiao Xu said hurriedly, “Sister Hanyan, come down quickly. Godmother is back and said she has something important to say. You and sister hurry up. Godmother seems to be in a hurry.”

With that, she quickly ran to Jiang Jiajia’s side to knock on her door.

Li Hanyan was instantly awake. After closing the door, she immediately ran to Liu Chuxia’s side, pulled her up, let her lean against the head of the bed, then went to the wardrobe to get her a set of clothes. As she was helping her put them on, she said, “A Xia, wake up quickly. Master is back and said she has something important to say. She’s downstairs right now. Wake up quickly.”

Liu Chuxia opened her dazed eyes. “Mom is back?”

“Yes. Are you awake?”

After helping her put on her underwear, Li Hanyan then helped her put on her clothes and pants, then put on a pair of slippers for her, and then carried the person into the bathroom.

After gently putting the person down and seeing her still a little wobbly on her feet, she supported her from behind, filled a cup with water for her, and then squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush.

“A Xia, are you awake? Brush your teeth quickly.”

Liu Chuxia looked at the cup and toothbrush in front of her and nodded, but her eyes were still fighting to stay open. She was still not fully awake.

Who in their right mind would sleep at four and wake up at past six, and be disturbed for so long? If not for the improvement in Liu Chuxia’s physical fitness, her whole body would probably still be weak now. How could she stand up?

Seeing her like this, Li Hanyan didn’t dare to leave and just supported her from behind, rubbing her lower back with her right hand.

After the two of them had finished getting ready and went out, Liu Chuxia stretched and was finally fully awake. She yawned and followed behind Li Hanyan, quickly walking into the elevator.

When they got to the first floor, they found that they were the only ones missing. The two of them quickly ran over.

After calming her breathing, Liu Chuxia looked at Liu Chu and asked, “Mom, what’s the urgent matter? To wake us up so early.”

“Baby, come to Mom. Let me see you.” The fatigue on Liu Chu’s face was obvious, but she still forced herself to sit up.

Liu Chuxia sat down beside her, took her hand, and said with concern, “Mom, you look very tired. Why don’t you rest for a while? Nothing is as important as you.”

Li Hanyan found a random place to sit down. Hearing what Liu Chuxia said, she also chimed in, “That’s right, Master. Looking at you, you must have come back overnight, right? Why don’t you rest first?”

Hearing this, Liu Chu felt very warm, but she still shook her head with a slight smile and said, “This matter is very urgent. I’ll go to sleep after I’m done. You have to listen carefully to what I’m about to say, understand?” After speaking, she looked at them.

The four humans and two ghosts all nodded seriously.

Only then did Liu Chu speak, “A major murder incident has occurred in Yangjia Village. Five people died in one night. The villagers immediately reported it, but when the law enforcers went over, they didn’t find any wounds on the deceased. They thought they were poisoned, but no toxic substances were found in their bodies.

The five people were examined from head to toe, but no results were found. When they asked the local villagers, they all said they hadn’t seen these five people the day before.”

“Master, do you want us to investigate?” Li Hanyan suddenly said.

Liu Chu shook her head. “No. This kind of thing will naturally be completed by other organizations. What I want to say is that you have to go and help. After a series of investigations, and with the help of a technical consultant, the law enforcers have locked the culprit on those Heart Bewitching Ghosts.

And there are two Heart Bewitching Ghosts in that area. They thought that since they were all ghosts, they would just kill them all. But they sent many Spirit Masters over, and they either suddenly lost contact, or their bodies rolled down from the mountain. Many people died this time, so the danger level is very high.

And those people above want us, the family heads, to come forward and solve it. But we still have very important things to do, so we refused. And that Xiao Ze actually suggested that you guys go, and even guaranteed to those people above that you could complete this mission.

I wanted to refuse, but those people wouldn’t listen to any explanation. I had no choice but to rush back to tell you.”

“That old man Xiao?” Xiao Xu said angrily.

Liu Chu was stunned for a moment, then laughed. “Yes, it’s that old man Xiao. At that time, Patriarch Jiang, Patriarch Zhang, and I were all explaining that you couldn’t go, but that old man Xiao insisted on bringing up Hanyan and saying how powerful she was.

The moment those people above heard that, of course they wouldn’t let it go. After all, if it’s really solved, they can report it as completed. If they die, they just have to give some money.”

Liu Chuxia stood up in anger. “With their attitude, we can completely ignore it!”

Liu Chu took her hand and comforted her, “We can indeed ignore it, but ghosts are harming people. As Spirit Masters, we must solve it. This is our duty. So, after you get to Yangjia Village, don’t listen to the orders of those law enforcers. Those people don’t know anything and are just giving blind commands, which is why so many Spirit Masters have died or been injured.

Han Yu will be there to meet you. You can listen to her opinions more after you get there.”
