Chapter 844: Doomed Love

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The hazy and misty moonlight shined down, accompanied with a caressing warm breeze of the spring blooming of flowers, sending their faint fragrance to the air of Qinglin County. Several house sparrows flew out of buildings’ windows as though they wanted to race with an SUV that was slowly traversing the road ahead.

“What do you think about Wang Tao, Awu?” asked Tang Xiu while sitting in the back seat, smoking. A faint smile hung on his handsome face while he unfocusedly looked outside.

“He’s a shrewd and astute one with a silver tongue,” answered Mo Awu while driving. “He may have tried to restrain his personality when he met us, but his pride and arrogance as a second generation nouveau-riche can occasionally be seen in his speech and manners. His achievements in life will be limited unless he undergoes some tribulations in life.”

“It’s indeed the common problem among the second generation of the rich,” Tang Xiu nodded and smiled. “It’s good to have a unique personality, but if you’re too arrogant and domineering, you’ll need a huge tribulation to temper yourself, else that arrogance will only invite a lot of troubles. Nevermind it for now, though. Let’s not talk about him. Let’s stop by the cigarettes and alcohol store on the way back, I need to buy some cigarettes.”

“Alright,” replied Mo Awu.

Seven-plus minutes later, the SUV was parked near the entrance of a tobacco and alcohol store. Four young men with gaudy attire and boorish complexions were playing mahjong at the entrance of the store. When Tang Xiu waltzed inside with Mo Awu, he found nobody inside and immediately shouted at the door, “Hey, who’s the owner here? I wanna buy some cigarettes.”

“Serve yourself, then take it to the counter and put the money there.”

A youth with blonde bleached hair that was playing cards around the table at the door shouted back without moving his eyes from his mahjong cards at all.

Tang Xiu secretly shook his head. How could this be called doing business? This guy virtually ignored his job and business. After hesitating for a moment, Tang Xiu spoke again, “I want a lot of them, so you’d better come in.”

The yellow-haired youth frowned and looked at the store. He unwillingly came while taking the cards in his hand and swayed back to the store and asked, “How many is a lot? And what cigarette do you wanna buy?”

“I’ll take the Soft China ones, however many you have in the store,” said Tang Xiu.

Soft China?

The yellow-haired youth smiled, yet observed Tang Xiu and lamented, “Soft China is quite an extravagant taste, buddy! I have dozens of packs in my store, do you really wanna take them all?”

“Yup.” Tang Xiu nodded.

The yellow-haired youth smiled and said, “Wait a sec.”

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu and Mo Awu held dozens of Soft China packs and left the cigarette and alcohol store. They threw all of them into the back seat and then quickly left the premise.

The yellow-haired youth walked out of the store and watched the SUV leaving. Then, he returned to the table and grinned, “I just bumped into some county money-bags, guys. He didn’t even ask the price but directly bought all the Soft China in my store.”

A young man with a green snake tattooed on his neck curled his lips and hummed, “Hmph, what a shitty county money-bags, it’s just dozens of Soft China packs. Still, that young master was way too reckless to wander around his grave, though. To think that he spent all of his money to buy hundreds of Soft China, damn it. Anyways, stop spitting out bullshit, will ya? Just get back to your cards and play mahjong!”

Unusual light gleamed in the eyes of the yellow-haired youth as he grinned, “Hehe, you should bring us brothers when you go grave robbing, Huzi Bro! We’ve really wanted to broaden our horizon with you for a long time, you know.”

“No shit!” The tattooed youth rolled his eyes and shouted, “Are you fucking not afraid that Zongzi will tear you apart? Or have the Yang energy in your body swallowed by those ghosts?”

The yellow-haired youth shrunk back but immediately said with a dry smile, “That’s what I mean, Bro Huzi!”

“It’s not impossible if you wanna have more experience by tagging along with me. But let’s have make an agreement first: if any of you were to experience an accident or danger in the tombs, I will have nothing to do with it,” said the tattooed young man casually with a proud smile. “Also, each of you can only take up to 10% of the treasures you’ll get from there.”

“Fine.”

“No problem!”

“Heard you loud and clear, Brother Huzi!”

The three youths immediately looked excited and complied happily.

Senbao 5-star hotel.

When the SUV stopped at the hotel entrance, Tang Xiu spoke to Mo Awu, “Do you still remember the place we just bought the cigarettes at? Go back there and beat that guy with the tattoo on his neck. Remember to break one of his legs and be confined to bedrest for the next few months.”

“Understood!” Mo Awu still respectfully complied despite feeling confused.

Tang Xiu spoke again, “Also, tell that fellow to never deal with the dead or rob tombs again. Else he will not only lose his Yang energy, but also will implicate his family, be it getting sick, disabled, or even death!”
