Chapter 192 Mission 017

Xiao Ying looked at the endless stream of people coming and going in Baiyun Bookstore, and suddenly stood up with an A4 paper in his hand. He walked to the door and pasted the A4 paper on the door, then quietly returned to the cashier to continue reading.

Many customers were curious about his actions and gathered around to look at the A4 paper at the door.

The few lines of words on the white paper were not completely dry, and it was obvious that they had just been written: [From tomorrow, the store will be closed for a week because the owner has something to go out...] There was also today's date and time in the lower right corner of the white paper.

Those customers who originally came for the beautiful owner were very disappointed - they couldn't eat if they couldn't see the owner's beauty for a week! They surrounded Xiao Ying and hoped that he would not close the store.

Xiao Ying was very calm and turned a deaf ear to him and became a quiet handsome man.

Fortunately, these customers were of good quality, and they just complained a few times and stopped pestering.

The next day, Xiao Ying was on time... but didn't open the store. He went alone to the famous mountains and rivers in various parts of this world.

In order to fulfill the male supporting role's wish to become the Fox King, he must have a group of little fox spirits working for him. At least his bookstore is in short supply of staff now, and he urgently needs to catch a few little fox spirits to deal with the emergency.

Although the conditions for repairing chains in modern cities are not good and the pollution is serious, there are still some deep mountains and primeval forests that modern people have never set foot on. Xiao Yan went to these places specifically and was very lucky to find a lot of intelligent fairies. Even though there are fewer foxes and more monkeys, it is worth the trip.

Under such difficult conditions, Xiao Yan didn't pick anything. No matter whether it was a monkey, fox or any other kind of fairy, all those worth cultivating were subdued by him and brought back to Baiyun Bookstore.

Xiao Yan gave these fairies the simplified version of illusion that he had figured out. Although they did not have the ability to transform into human form, it was still no problem to use illusion to transform into human form to deceive ordinary people with mortal eyes.

So the daily life of Baiyun Bookstore became that the big vixen shop owner sat at the cashier at the door and read books, and there was a monkey salesperson standing in front of the bookshelf or a snake salesperson perched on the bookshelf... The customers who came here smiled and talked or stood side by side with these non-humans, which was simply terrifying for those ordinary people who could see through illusions.

However, there are too few ordinary people who are born with the talent to see through ordinary illusions. At least Xiao Ying has not encountered such people in such a long time since he opened the store. Those who come to the bookstore and can see through illusions are basically cultivators.

The news that the third floor of Baiyun Bookstore sells various exercises and spells was spread from the mouth of an ordinary casual cultivator. After these strong human cultivators tried to find Xiao Ying's unfathomable strength, they determined that it was impossible to take Baiyun Bookstore for themselves, so they came to buy it honestly with spirit stones. Although these monks hated goblins, none of them dared to say anything about exorcism when they saw the goblins raised by Xiao Ying in Baiyun Bookstore. After all, Xiao Ying's terrifying strength was there.

However, no one thought that Xiao Ying, who raised so many goblins, was also a goblin. It was probably because Xiao Ying hid his demonic aura very well, and the skills sold on the third floor were all human skills, so the monks mistakenly thought that Xiao Ying was a human monk who was good at controlling beasts.

******

The days passed like this. Xiao Ying was very patient with loneliness after practicing Taoism, and he didn't think it was boring to guard a bookstore every day, but he still went out for a walk every once in a while to pick up a few goblins to work with.

On this day, when Xiao Ying was wandering in a scenic spot where foxes were said to roam, he encountered a python that had become a spirit chasing and teasing a couple. Seeing that the couple had no sins and some merits, Xiao Ying killed the snake spirit with a palm and saved the couple.

The couple was very shocked by Xiao Ying's strength, but they were very tactful and didn't ask anything. They just thanked him sincerely and introduced themselves.

It turned out that the couple surnamed Qin came to this famous scenic spot to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Unexpectedly, they encountered a man-eating python in the scenic spot. The people who were originally with them were eaten by the python. Only the couple escaped for so long because the python wanted to tease them. If they hadn't been lucky enough to meet Xiao Ying, they would have died.

The couple surnamed Qin invited Xiao Ying to dinner with great gratitude. Xiao Ying, who had been wandering around the scenic spot for two days without seeing a fox hair, thought about it and nodded and agreed. He was just ready to try the famous specialties here.

The Qin couple are both wealthy, and the place where they are hosting dinner is a very high-end and classy hotel. Let’s not talk about the dishes first, the price is definitely worthy of the hotel decoration.

When Xiao Ying sat down, he glanced at the young man next to the Qin couple. The couple immediately took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Bai, this is my son Qin Jiayu, and I am here to thank you."

Qin Jiayu? When Xiao Ying heard this name, his eyebrows raised, and his pair of peach blossom eyes looked at the young man sitting opposite him with a dignified appearance. Is this the male protagonist Qin Jiayu?

The original book only said that the male protagonist’s parents died unexpectedly, and the male protagonist inherited all the property of the Qin family, which caused his greedy uncle to plot and die, and later became a resentful ghost... but it did not say how the male protagonist’s parents died.

Today’s experience made Xiao Ying feel that the cause of death of the male protagonist’s parents was probably buried in the belly of a snake. So did he change the male protagonist’s future destiny by saving the male protagonist’s parents today?

If the male protagonist's parents were alive, then the male protagonist's uncle would not have the intention to kill. If the male protagonist did not die, he would not become a resentful ghost, and he would not have the opportunity to meet and fall in love with the female protagonist as in the plot...

"But this seems a bit bad?" Xiao Ying thought to himself. The male protagonist and the female protagonist in this world could not be together. Even if he did not break up the male and female protagonists, they would still be separated. So if he changed the male protagonist's dead situation, it might help the male and female protagonist to be together, because there would be no species gap between him and the female protagonist if the male protagonist did not die. But he thought again, the male protagonist is so old and the female protagonist is not born yet. If the male protagonist did not die, the age difference between him and the female protagonist would also be a big obstacle.

After all, Xiao Ying has experienced many time-travel missions. While he was thinking in his heart whether the male and female protagonists would care about such a large age difference, he calmly dealt with the warm and polite Qin's father and mother.

The male protagonist Qin Jiayu seemed to be a little lonely and indifferent. Except for being forced by his father to call him "Mr. Bai" at the beginning, he was silent afterwards.
