Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 171 - 144: If You Don’t Want to Live, Just Tell Me
A few mornings later, Mu Yunchu and Li Shang went out to purchase goods, leaving Ye Zhixia alone at home to dispatch orders.
Although this wasn’t particularly complicated work, there were simply too many orders.
Days passed, and not only did the excitement not wane, but it even slowly increased. He dared not open the stock too widely.
Many people were also inquiring every day, some even fanatically asking if they would consider selling Mu Yunchu’s merch.
Ye Zhixia: "..."
Are these people planning to use the boss’s things for exorcism?
But, maintaining a professional demeanor as a staff member should, he patiently responded to every absurd question.
After eliminating the last ’red dot’, he continued his shipping tasks.
Wearing the special gloves given by Mu Yunchu, he was printing out flyers to stick on the packaged items, waiting for the courier to arrive.
These days, Mu Yunchu just rushed out a batch of Five Emperors Coins.
Even the pre-orders from the first day were not completely dispatched.
Ye Zhixia could only ship according to the order of time.
However, after packing a few items, his actions gradually slowed down. His eyes seemed glued to the Five Emperors Coin, glancing towards it every couple of seconds.
He was filled with strong curiosity:
Is it really that effective?
This was something he was extremely curious about since day one of setting up the online store.
Clearly, it’s so expensive, yet so many people still rushed to buy it.
Curiosity gradually took over his mind, and he even forgot Mu Yunchu’s instructions before leaving.
An uncontrollable hand reached out towards that string of Five Emperors Coin.
Before touching it, he even took off the special gloves he was wearing.
However, when he was less than five centimeters away from the item, his fingertips felt a strong burning sensation.
As if it was about to scorch his entire right arm.
"Ahhhh!"
At this moment, Mu Yunchu and Li Shang rushed in, witnessing the scene and having no time to speak.
Li Shang immediately swung her hand at Ye Zhixia’s chest.
The latter let out a muffled groan and uncontrollably fell back off his chair.
But because of this, he distanced himself considerably from the Five Emperors Coin.
The burning sensation gradually faded away.
Instead, his chest hurt a lot, and he watched Li Shang with a mix of anger and helplessness, looking somewhat like a ’wounded puppy’ by the roadside.
"Don’t look at me with that face."
After injuring Ye Zhixia, Li Shang showed no sign of apology.
Instead, she stood with one hand on her hip, exuding an air of ’I just saved your life’.
Ye Zhixia looked up at Li Shang approaching.
She suddenly said to him, "If you’re looking for death, don’t use such a method!"
Li Shang glanced at the Five Emperors Coin exposed on the table, a hint of fear in her eyes. She instinctively took a wider detour around it.
She hadn’t forgotten how powerful the Five Emperors Coin was when she first met Mu Yunchu.
A Spiritual Artifact she couldn’t even handle; a little ghost like Ye Zhixia would probably be dusted away by just a touch.
However, she seemed to think of something, raising her eyebrows, sizing up the ghost half-reclining on the floor.
Half-jokingly, she said, "Actually, if you don’t want to live, you can just tell me."
"Let me devour you."
While saying this, Li Shang’s eyes glinted with excitement.
She didn’t look like she was joking.
This frightened Ye Zhixia, forcing him to take a step back.
Behind, Mu Yunchu glanced at Li Shang.
In the next second, she suddenly stood up.
Clapping her hands, "Tch, do you think you’re that tasty?"
"Hurry up and thank me. If it weren’t for me, you would’ve been killed by the Five Emperors Coin long ago."
"You even dared to touch what Little Chuchu made; truly, you don’t know how you’d die."
...
She spoke several sentences in a row without displaying that strange demeanor again.
Which made Mu Yunchu, who had been silently watching, breathe a sigh of relief.
He regarded her previous reaction as a side effect after absorbing too much yin energy, but he remained watchful in case Li Shang showed any other reactions.
After the incident just now, Ye Zhixia was so scared that he didn’t dare have any thoughts about the things Mu Yunchu made anymore.
He completely believed Li Shang’s words that she saved his life.
If he had really touched the Five Emperors Coin, he estimated his soul would’ve scattered by now.
So after recovering from the scare, he quickly stood up to thank Li Shang.
And then... he was swindled out of a meal.
When he heard this result, his expression became subtle.
Knowing that Li Shang was an ancient ghost, he curiously asked, "Did this kind of thing exist in your time?"
Only to receive a sideways glance from her.
He dared not say anything more.
"Please, I must treat you."
"I’ll go out and get some delicious food later."
"No, don’t." Li Shang denied his idea and instead suggested, "Why don’t we go to the mall?"
She blinked at Ye Zhixia and then quickly shifted her gaze to Mu Yunchu.
Though it was Ye Zhixia who was treating, Mu Yunchu was the real ’decision maker.’
Mu Yunchu thought for a moment.
Nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, I promised to take you shopping for clothes previously. Also, we can get you a phone."
This way, if Mu Yunchu isn’t around, it’s easier to contact him if anything happens at the store.
Ye Zhixia opened his mouth.
"But..." These things haven’t even been sold yet.
He thought Mu Yunchu was making money solely through what was on the online store.
Although many buyers had placed their orders and paid, the money wouldn’t be directly transferred to their account; it was temporarily held by the platform.
It wasn’t until the buyers signed for the goods and confirmed receipt that the money would genuinely be in their hands.
Therefore, Ye Zhixia figured that Mu Yunchu might not have much money now.
Instinctively, he wanted to refuse.
However, he was forcibly ’escorted’ to the mall by the two.
Li Shang let go of his arm, elegantly tidying up her dress, "Don’t think about skipping this treat."
Ye Zhixia tried to explain, but he didn’t even get the chance.
In this daze, he was brought to the first floor of the mall, where they sold phones.
What he was about to say was swallowed back upon seeing the latest Redfruit phone.
It’s not that he was a fan of foreign brands; a phone doesn’t rise to that level.
He simply liked a new feature introduced by Redfruit this year and wanted to try it, but he didn’t have the money to buy it when he was alive.
As he looked longingly, Li Shang forcefully placed a domestic phone into his hand.
Ye Zhixia: ???
"This..."
"Shh..." Li Shang stopped him from speaking.
Ye Zhixia forced a smile, "You’re not going to tell me to be patriotic, are you?"
Li Shang looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"What are you thinking."
"I just want you to try taking my portrait to see how the camera works."
...
Ye Zhixia felt a little awkward.
Then he lowered his head to start taking photos, pretending to be busy the whole time.
There weren’t too many people in the mall, yet the three of them were too eye-catching in appearance and demeanor.
That’s why when Xu Qiu and his girlfriend Zhu Yue walked in, they immediately saw them.
Xu Qiu’s eyes seemed glued to Mu Yunchu, unable to look away.
