Chapter 43 Winter Fire Hall
Chapter 43 Winter Fire Hall (Seventh Update)
"Hey! Have you heard? There seems to be a mysterious store opened on that street. Many people visit it every day. Should we go take a look?"
"What kind of store is it? It's so mysterious."
"What else could it be? Of course it's that kind of thing. Anyway, you'll know when you go there!"
Recently, there seem to be some rumors outside Donghai College, which seems to be about the opening of a mysterious store.
But the problem is that there are no stores around, which makes many people curious. What exactly happened?
As a resident of Donghai City, Xie Xie was naturally very interested in these mysterious new things, so on an afternoon of a day off, he took Tang Wulin with him and prepared to go outside to see what was going on.
"Xie Xie, what is so mysterious?"
"Of course it's good stuff!" Looking at Tang Wulin's stunned expression, Xie Xie smiled mysteriously, "You must have heard the rumors outside the school, what do you think about it?"
"Um... I don't know." Tang Wulin has been obsessed with cultivation recently and has not learned about the outside world. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, because what he wants to do most now is to cultivate. After all, he is the one who aims to go to Shrek Academy.
But Xie Xie was different. He almost forcibly dragged Tang Wulin out of the dormitory, "Look at you, it's okay for you to practice during school hours, but today is a day off! Do you really want to stay in the dormitory all day? Come out with me for a walk!"
Tang Wulin finally couldn't resist Xie Xie's constant persuasion and left the academy with him, but...
"Where are you going?" However, when they were leaving the school gate, they met Liuying who was coming back from outside.
"This is a secret between men..." Xie Xie obviously didn't intend to say anything, and directly pulled Tang Wulin away from Donghai College.
Seeing the two of them acting sneakily, Liuying had a strange expression on her face. Although they were roommates, they were too close, weren't they? Could it be that because Gu Yue didn't come here, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie got together?
Ever since Na'er discovered that the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest had disappeared, Yao Lan guessed that Gu Yue might have gone somewhere else and would not come to the East China Sea.
Facts have proved that his guess was correct. Gu Yue disappeared, and many interactions between Tang Wulin and Gu Yue in the original work disappeared...but she shouldn't be involved with Xie Xie, right?
Sensing the strange fireflies, I felt that I needed to follow these two strange guys to see what they were planning to do.
So, the three of them left Donghai College stealthily and headed for the mysterious place Xie Xie mentioned. Little did they know that their movements were also seen by an ice-blue figure...
"Xie Xie, is this the place you are talking about?"
"Of course, hide first!"
In a corner, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin poked their heads out and observed the situation in the mysterious shop. Tang Wulin, who had originally been uninterested in it, suddenly became interested at this moment because he discovered a very strange scene.
Although the store looked large, all the doors and windows were closed. The only door that was open was the main door, but it was also covered by a huge black cloth, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
"Look! There's someone coming over there!"
“Why are they all men?”
Just as Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were observing, several figures walked over from a distance. Their faces were all wearing a smile that Tang Wulin did not understand at all? Then they walked straight into the store.
A few minutes later, almost everyone walked out of the store with a satisfied look on their faces, which made Xie Xie and Tang Wulin even more curious.
"What happened to those people's expressions? Why did they change after they came out?"
"And what exactly is sold there?"
A series of questions came to their minds. Since the seeds of curiosity had been planted, it was time for them to take root and sprout. "What is it for sale? Let's go in and take a look. We have to try everything. How can we get the truth if we don't try?" After observing outside for a long time, the two still didn't get any information. Finally, they made up their minds to go in and find out.
So, Xie Xie pulled Tang Wulin and came directly to the door of the store. It was at this time that they could see the small words on the store’s front…
"Winter Fire Hall? What kind of things are sold here?"
Although I know the name, I obviously cannot deduce what this store sells from the name. I still need to practice!
"Wulin, let's go in!"
"go!"
The two of them walked with heavy steps and solemn faces into this mysterious place called Winter Fire Hall.
However, the moment the black cloth was pulled open, pink light shone on their faces. They looked in the direction of the light and their eyes immediately widened.
Because the things sold in this store are actually people?
"Wait! They have no signs of life, they are just simple dolls... I didn't expect they are made so delicately?"
It was Xie Xie who discovered the problem and figured it out immediately, while Tang Wulin stared at the doll on the counter and then looked under the doll. There was a sign with a lot of information written on it, such as usage, cleaning methods, etc.
"Ah? So that's what they sell here?"
After reading the introduction of the doll, their faces immediately turned red. They didn't expect that there was such a way to play. It really opened their eyes.
Is that the adult world?
"Welcome...little kid?" A female receptionist also came over at this time, but after finding out that the customer was a child, her face immediately changed, because children of their age are not allowed here, and if they were discovered by the Federation, there would definitely be big problems!
"Leave quickly, little friend, this is not the place you should be."
After hearing what the receptionist said, Xie Xie apologized immediately because he also understood the seriousness of the matter. If his family knew that he came to such a place, it would definitely be a lifelong shame!
"I'm sorry, we'll leave now. Wulin...Wulin?"
Xie Xie originally planned to take Tang Wulin away with him, but then he discovered something that shocked him.
Tang Wulin!
The crazy cultivator who had been staying in the academy was now staring at a puppet and even touching it?
You are quite capable!
"elder sister!"
As if he had discovered the mystery of the puppet, Tang Wulin's expression immediately became solemn, and he looked at the receptionist very seriously.
"How much is this doll?"
"Huh?" x2
Not only Xie Xie was confused, the receptionist was also confused.
No, are you really going to buy it?
hahahahahahahahahahaha!
