How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 34: Confess and Be Lenient

As Chen Qi followed the woman deeper into the area, he could hear noises around him from time to time, but he remained unfazed.

Soon, the group arrived at a very luxurious-looking gate.

This is a double door, about one and a half times the height of a person, with reliefs on it depicting various animals, such as snow leopards, lynxes, and wolves...

squeak-

The woman reached out and gently pushed open the door in front of her, gesturing for the three people behind her to enter.

"Please come in."

Shen Nianxu, who didn't look too friendly, stepped inside first.

Qin Bo followed her inside, without making eye contact with the woman.

As Chen Qi brushed past the woman, he glanced into her eyes.

Those eyes were beautiful, like black holes, capable of attracting everything around them.

Noticing that Chen Qi was making eye contact with her, the woman smiled slightly and subconsciously reached out to lift Chen Qi's chin.

The latter only glanced at it, then eagerly followed the two people in front.

The woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Huh? What's going on?"

……

Inside the room was a bedroom that looked enormous.

In the center of the bedroom stood a large bed shaped like a clam shell. Chen Qi had only ever seen clam shell beds in fairy tale illustrations before; this was the first time he had ever seen one in the real world.

The surrounding decor was also very girly, with silk and lights shining everywhere. In the distance, a large number of cosmetics were placed on a dressing table, arranged in a very messy manner.

Chen Qi even saw a box of daily disposable contact lenses.

After closing the door, the woman gestured for the three of them to sit wherever they liked. Shen Nianxu seemed a little uncomfortable with the room and casually found a corner to stand in.

Qin Bo sat down at the dressing table, as if this was the place where he felt most comfortable.

And Chen Qi...

He plopped right down on the other person's bed.

Shen Nianxu rolled her eyes.

"Alright, Miss Shen," the woman removed the hairpin from her long hair, letting her black hair cascade down like a waterfall, "You must have come to our Ten Thousand Demons Club for a reason, right? What do you want to do?"

Shen Nianxu took out the sachet that Wang Shande had given them from her pocket and tossed it directly to the woman, saying, "You should know about this, right?"

The woman took the sachet, glanced at it briefly, and then narrowed her fox-like eyes. "Hmm... I know. This is a token given to special guests by our Ten Thousand Demons Club. As long as you have this token, you can enter the inner area of ​​the basement at any time."

"A few days ago, a man said he was possessed by a ghost," Shen Nianxu said in a slightly cold tone. "Later, he was driven insane and committed suicide by jumping into the river. The authorities found this thing on him."

"Was this something you, the Ten Thousand Demons Guild, were behind?"

The woman remained completely calm, continuing to smile. "Miss Shen, please don't say such things. Our Wan Yao Club has always conducted business honestly and ethically. Moreover, we gave the previous owner the same token back then. How would we know that this was truly found by the authorities?"

"You mean I came here to pick a fight with you because I had nothing better to do?"

The woman waved her hand seductively and sat down next to Chen Qi. "Of course not. I know Miss Shen's personality, but I was just explaining. We've given out so many tokens, but only this one man claims to be possessed by a ghost. How can you be so sure it's our Ten Thousand Demons Guild playing tricks?"

Shen Nianxu said, "There used to be ghostly energy here."

The woman picked up the sachet and examined it again, then chuckled and presented it to Chen Qi. "Take a look, is there any ghostly energy on this? You keep saying it used to exist, but where's the evidence?"

evidence……

Shen Nianxu never expected that after giving this thing to Chen Qi for one night, the ghostly aura would mysteriously disappear. Where was she supposed to find evidence?

This kid ate all the evidence!

Seemingly sensing a sharp gaze, Chen Qi thought he was too close to the woman, so he straightened his expression and took the initiative to distance himself from her.

"Wang Shande also knows about the existence of ghostly energy," Shen Nianxu said, unable to produce any evidence, she could only offer witness testimony. "If you don't believe me, I can call Wang Shande over now and we can confront each other."

Upon hearing that Shen Nianxu was going to call Wang Shande over, the woman's arrogant demeanor immediately diminished. "There's no need to trouble Mr. Wang Shande. We can sort this out between ourselves."

With that, the woman sighed softly, "Just as I said, our Ten Thousand Demons Guild has distributed so many tokens, and one of them malfunctioned. How can you blame us for it? Are you so sure that we would harm others for some purpose?"

Shen Nianxu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did you think I did nothing back then and just followed the previous boss around like a shadow? Do you think I don't know what your Ten Thousand Demons Club did to get started?"

Qin Bo, who was standing to the side, took out his notebook from his pocket, opened a page and answered: "The Ten Thousand Demons Club opened two years ago. Before that, it was located in the area outside the Third Ring Road, making a living by devouring human essence and blood. It was only after being arrested by the previous owner of the bookstore that it opened this Ten Thousand Demons Club."

Although the woman was still smiling, she couldn't help but frown. "Haha... Second Young Master Qin, you truly live up to your reputation. Your control over intelligence is unparalleled..."

Qin Bo closed his laptop, still maintaining a cold demeanor, but he didn't dare to make too much eye contact with the woman. "Thank you for the compliment."

"Although we did this before, weren't we taught a lesson by you and the previous owner of the bookstore?" the woman sighed softly. "We've reformed now, and we only use small monetary transactions to extract some life-threatening energy."

"We don't want to be chased all over the city again, waaaaah..."

"Playing the victim with me won't work," Shen Nianxu said coldly. "Your charm only works on men, don't think I don't know that!"

Seeing that her attempts at feigned grievance and allure were ineffective, the woman's eyes turned cold. "Little girl, back then I let you be as arrogant as you could, out of respect for your previous boss. But now that the previous boss is dead, if you still dare to be so arrogant, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Nianxu immediately let out a cold laugh.

Then he quickly jumped behind Chen Qi, shielding him in front of him.

A burst of spiritual energy suddenly spread out, but before it could reach Chen Qi and Shen Nianxu, it was blocked by an even more terrifying force.

Inside Chen Qi's pocket, a luminous pearl was emitting a faint light, isolating the woman's power and preventing it from affecting the two of them.

"A luminous pearl?" The woman was shocked, completely unprepared for this situation. "How do you have something like this?"

bass!

A throwing knife flew out from behind Chen Qi in an instant. Shen Nianxu held a throwing knife between each of her five delicate, slender fingers, her eyes slightly cold.

"This is your last chance. Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."

"Otherwise, our bookstore will wipe your entire Ten Thousand Demons Club out of Qingcheng today!"
