Chapter 118 Forgotten

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

The sound of a lighter.

Two lighters,

each with its own rhythm,

continuously sparking,

creating an eerie, flickering glow in the darkness.

In the distance,

two figures, one large and one small, emerged from the shadows.

They seemed to stumble slightly,

pausing briefly to adjust,

finally,

fine-tuning the background music.

Music began,

and the two figures continued clicking their lighters.

"Come forget what's right or wrong,

Come reminisce about the past,

There's always joy in shared hardships..."

The background music echoed through the underground passage.

Lawyer An and the little boy, each wearing sunglasses,

walked forward in unison, clicking their lighters.

Bai Hu watched the scene in shock.

The man beside her wore an amused expression.

Lawyer An removed his sunglasses,

flicked his hair,

his bangs dancing,

and winked at Bai Hu.

"Looks like you're surprised."

Bai Hu nodded,

then pointed at the little boy beside Lawyer An.

"What surprises me is how he can be as childish as you."

The little boy also removed his sunglasses,

his gaze filled with

resignation.

He had no choice but to fill the hole he'd dug, drink the chicken soup he'd cooked.

As Lawyer An had said, as an accessory, he had to act as foolish and idiotic as possible; otherwise, his brilliance would overshadow the main act, stealing the boss’s thunder.

Did he want the boss to strip him of his power over a cup of wine?

"This is my business."

Bai Hu said,

at the same time,

she was nervously scanning her surroundings.

The scent

was still there,

but the person

hadn't appeared.

Fortunately, Boss Zhou didn't know what Bai Hu was thinking; otherwise, she would have died ten thousand times over.

In the novels and martial arts dramas he watched at the bookstore,

other important figures were always preceded by murderous auras,

so why,

was he preceded by a salty aura?

"What's your business, my business? Since you're in the bookstore, it's the bookstore's business. You're a bookstore person yourself, heh."

Lawyer An silently put a cigarette in his mouth,

but when he tried to light it, he embarrassedly discovered that his lighter was out of gas from all the posing.

"How am I a bookstor—"

Bai Hu was about to say that when she stopped.

She keenly sensed the trap Lawyer An was setting for her.

No,

this wasn't a trap,

it was a reminder!

What was going on?

Bai Hu was shocked. If she answered Lawyer An's words directly, she would be saying "she's not one of the bookstore's people."

But what would come next?

The implication was,

since you're not one of the bookstore's people,

then you should just die.

One was a shrewd person, the other an old fox.

A simple conversation

carried so many implications.

Bai Hu slightly raised her head and said:

"Yes, I am a bookstore person. The bookstore is my home."

"Pfft."

Lawyer An laughed. He knew Bai Hu understood his meaning, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless. He raised his hand, signaling her to continue.

Please, continue your performance. Keep licking.

"But this matter is my own private affair. I can handle it myself."

Lawyer An shook his head, no longer laughing, and sighed.

He'd given the necessary hints, but since she was so stubborn, he was sorry.

Perhaps it was a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. He remembered the little loli complaining to him that this Bai Hu was always teaching her how to integrate into the bookstore and freeload, but this time, she couldn't see things clearly.

"I'll take care of the fox. You take care of that face-changing guy."

There was no probing, no more banter.

Bai Hu could smell the boss's arrival,

was he An Buqi blind?

Although he didn't know the specific reason, the boss was very angry this time, and wanted to set some rules, so, everyone should perform well.

"Boom!"

Without a word, the little boy erupted into action. The ground beneath his feet sank, and he shot toward Bai Hu like a cannonball.

Bai Hu first tried to parry with her hands, wanting to neutralize the little boy's impact, but in that initial exchange, she was shocked to discover that he was serious!

"Bang!"

Bai Hu was sent flying.

As her body neared the wall,

her tail instantly enlarged, and furry patches appeared on her body. She swept her tail around, redirecting her momentum, but when she landed, her face was flushed, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Even with that maneuver, she hadn't completely neutralized the blow.

"You're serious?"

Bai Hu asked in astonishment.

The little boy smiled slightly.

"Are you that familiar with me? Do I need to pretend?"

In other words, what are you even worth!

Bai Hu suddenly turned and roared at the man, "Run!"

"Don't worry, none of you are leaving today."

Lawyer An crossed his hands,

and a pair of skeletal hands materialized,

releasing ten streams of pink mist that snaked toward the man.

The man was expressionless.

He took a few steps back,

and then,

his face transformed into that of the woman who looked so similar to Bai Hu.

When facing danger,

the man decisively pushed out the woman who loved him to the depths of her soul.

The woman's body trembled,

and a black fox tail appeared behind her.

Waves of demonic energy erupted, attempting to break through Lawyer An's blockade.

However,

An Buqi was, after all, An Buqi.

Although he always joked that he seemed to be standing still after coming to the bookstore,

his foundation was undeniably strong.

"The underworld has order, the laws of death are merciless, seal!"

The pink mist transformed into ten seals, locking toward the woman.

The woman's fingertips sharpened into claws, tearing apart seven seals in one breath. Three remained, but in an instant, they merged into one, slamming directly into the woman and forcing her back!

"Come on, let's continue playing."

Lawyer An steadily advanced.

A green light appeared in the woman's eyes,

and a powerful mental shock was released.

Bai Hu, who was not far away, captured this scene and shouted:

"Don't!"

The fox clan was naturally adept at using illusions. Some fox demons, even before they had cultivated into human form, could use illusions to make scholars constantly have wet dreams.

But Bai Hu knew that if she used martial arts against Lawyer An, he might not be so skilled, but if she competed in illusions, wasn't that like throwing a lamb to the slaughter?

A smile appeared on Lawyer An's face,

he coughed,

and snapped his fingers.

"Very good."

In the next moment,

Lawyer An and the woman in front of him both fell into a state of chaos.

Bai Hu planned to rush over and interrupt the process, but the little boy directly stepped in and punched her.

Bai Hu didn't dare to take the blow head-on, so she sidestepped and gently tapped the little boy's arm, trying to jump away.

However,

the little boy opened his mouth,

revealing two zombie fangs.

"Roar!"

"Ah!"

Bai Hu let out a scream,

and her tail slammed hard into the little boy.

The little boy staggered,

and Bai Hu quickly retreated, a bloody wound appearing on her left arm.

"Just give up. This is no longer about your business or her business."

The little boy looked at his clothes with some helplessness. They had just been torn by the fox tail.

The little loli had bought these clothes for him on Taobao.

"Impossible."

Bai Hu said angrily.

"Oh."

The little boy nodded,

looked up at Bai Hu, and in the depths of his eyes, black light flowed, and a stream of baleful aura began to brew, gathering around him.

"Then I'll try to see what it feels like to kill a fox."

The little boy charged forward.

Zombies didn't need to follow any rules when they fought.

They relied on their strong bodies to bully you.

So what?

Bai Hu placed her hands on the ground, her entire body lying prone, her tail growing larger again, three tails spreading out like a peacock's fan. At the same time, a large patch of white fur grew all over her body.

"Roar!"

Bai Hu roared,

and charged towards the little boy.

Zombie versus fox,

they instantly clashed.

For a time,

the surrounding area

was filled with exploding energy, and the underground passage began to shake. The warning sign above, "Please do not urinate here," fell down.

Fast exchanges, fast entanglements,

everything happened quickly.

The little boy obviously didn't understand the benefits of "slow,"

and after a few seconds,

he grabbed one of Bai Hu's legs,

and slammed her hard onto the ground.

Once wasn't enough,

cherishing women,

didn't exist.

Except for the little loli, the little boy had long lost any interest in other women.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After a series of slams,

Bai Hu's body was covered in red,

but she still suddenly opened her mouth,

and a white mist sprayed directly at the little boy.

The little boy frowned slightly, condensing his baleful aura to try to block it, but the white light directly penetrated the aura and enveloped the little boy.

For a time,

the little boy's body was covered in layers of white fur,

as if covered in "ice and snow."

"Thud!"

A muffled sound came out,

and cracks appeared on the white fur.

Obviously, this shackle couldn't really trap the little boy.

But Bai Hu seized this brief moment,

and charged directly towards Lawyer An not far away!

"How touching."

A man's sigh came.

Bai Hu, in the middle of her charge, was startled, but she still gritted her teeth and continued forward.

"Swish!"

Yingying's figure appeared in front of Bai Hu.

Bai Hu's eyes immediately revealed a hint of surprise.

Impossible,

this speed,

how could it be so fast!

"Boss, Bai Hu is doing this for a reason."

Yingying called out in a conflicted, helpless, and sad voice,

and then,

without hesitation, she punched Bai Hu hard, not holding back at all!

"Bang!"

Bai Hu's transformed body was directly shattered by the punch,

and she flew out, crashing to the ground and sliding a long distance.

"Boss, Bai Hu is really pitiful. People really can't bring themselves to do it, sob sob sob."
