Chapter 49: Peerless Little Bride 2
The young wife looked at the giant golden ingot in front of her and at the couplet written on the door.
She instinctively muttered softly, "You can run a tab here without deceiving the young or old, pay back in time or watch me beat you to death, not a shady shop."
After reciting it, the young wife turned around wanting to run away.
This must be a shady shop, the couplet at the door is just a cover-up.
"Guest, where are you going? It’s raining so heavily outside, come in and have a cup of hot tea." Suddenly, a woman’s voice found its way to the young wife’s ears.
The young wife was taken aback and only then realized she had walked up to this shop, and the rain around her seemed to have lessened significantly. When she looked up in the direction of the voice, she saw a very beautiful woman leaning against the door, raising an eyebrow at her.
How strange!
Must be a Mountain Spirit Monster!
The young wife turned and ran without a second thought.
Kong Hou’s mouth twitched, come on! So disrespectful! This foolish human! Why is the mission target such a person this time? Do you believe she can drown this dumb human with a gulp of water!
"Get back here!" Kong Hou yelled, instantly teleporting forward, grabbing the young wife in her hand.
Then the young wife straightforwardly fainted.
Dong Xiao, seeing this, twitched his mouth corner, then said grumpily, "Look at what you’ve done. Humans are inherently timid."
Kong Hou dumbly looked at the fainted human in her hand. She could never have imagined that this human would faint like this. This was the first time encountering such a timid guest.
What to do now?
Will the master pull her tail and swing it mid-air? No, no, it’ll be so dizzy.
"Bring her in." Tianmiao’s voice softly came through.
Kong Hou hurriedly carried the young wife into the shop, hesitated at the doorway, looked down at the completely soaked young wife with a look of disdain, cast a spell to make her fresh and clean, then carried her in.
...
The young wife woke up to the aroma of tea.
As soon as she woke up, she met a pair of kind eyes.
"Miss, I’m really sorry, my assistant scared you." Tianmiao smiled at the young wife, with a gentle voice.
Listening to Tianmiao, the young wife felt completely relaxed. The person before her didn’t seem very old, yet gave her a warm, kind feeling, like that of a mother. A mother from distant and blurred memory.
"Ah, it’s alright." The young wife sat up embarrassedly.
"Coming to this shop means you are a fated person. I am the boss of this store, my surname is Tian. Miss, would you like to buy something? Here you can buy anything you desire, including your wishes." Tianmiao still smiled, voice unhurried, as if spring breeze gently brushing against the young wife’s heart.
"I’m already married, not a miss." The young wife corrected seriously, then hesitantly asked, "Can wishes be bought too?"
"Of course, as long as you pay a certain price." Tianmiao’s voice, at this moment, was full of allure, letting the young wife unwittingly fall into it.
"But, is it expensive? I don’t have much money, can’t afford overly expensive things." The young wife murmured to herself.
"Not expensive, very cheap, you can afford this price." Tianmiao guided gently.
"Then, I wish for my husband to return safely, with the family reunited." The young wife voiced her deepest wish from the bottom of her heart.
"Alright." Tianmiao’s smile became ethereal, "Then... as you wish."
