What do you mean you also want to return to the world?

Chapter 39 What are your fingers doing?

With a "snap," Shi Yan summoned Scarlet, and a faint crimson flame danced at his fingertips.

Then he flicked his finger again, and the flames leaped up like sprites, spreading out before his pupils like fireworks. After that, his vision quickly cleared, and demonic energy, invisible to ordinary people, crept onto his retina.

Shi Yan only learned this little trick the day before yesterday.

With nothing of importance to do this week, Shi Yan simply started practicing his only strength.

Almost every few hours, he would summon Crimson to see what this tiny flame could do. After some research, he actually managed to come up with quite a few results and come up with some clever tricks. Although none of them were related to strength or power, Shi Yan was still very satisfied.

If summoning Scarlet didn't also damage the body (like a self-reward), Yan would have really wanted to play with fire 24/7.

After all, superpowers and fire are just as attractive to boys as soft, sweet girls.

In other words, Scarlet was very disdainful of this, and even somewhat annoyed, believing that Shi Yan was treating her great power as a circus act, which was blasphemy.

However, Shi Yan completely ignored her feelings.

Ah, I seem to have gone off on a tangent.

After the crimson fireworks dissipated, Shi Yan could see the demonic aura seeping out from the small round mirror.

There was indeed a problem.

However... isn't this demonic aura too faint? It doesn't look like there's a demon at all.

Shi Yan observed more carefully and indeed found no trace of the monster.

The monster isn't inside. This is going to be troublesome.

Of the four basic methods of exorcising demons—observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—Shi Yan felt that the first three could be omitted, leaving only the last step.

Unfortunately, the necessary steps still can't be avoided.

Shi Yan sighed softly, but he wasn't too upset, because he had considered this possibility when he came.

At this moment, he turned his head and used the last bit of time remaining in the crimson light to look at Lin Xiaoyue. Sure enough, the latter also exuded demonic energy, but the degree was much lower than that of the people from the archaeological bureau.

After some thought, Shi Yan returned to Lin Xiaoyue's side with the round mirror and handed it back to her: "Alright, check it and see if I switched it."

Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes: "I already said I believe you, so why don't you believe me yourself?"

Of course, she only said that, but she still subtly touched the entire mirror with both hands, and only after confirming that there was no problem did a smile reappear.

"How's it going? What were the test results?"

"No problem. Although its origin cannot be confirmed yet, it is indeed from a hundred years ago." Shi Yan carefully chose his words. "Moreover, based on my deduction, this mirror should be part of a complete set, and this is just one piece, right?"

Hearing Shi Yan say this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, which could be considered as confirming Shi Yan's guess.

"You really can tell?" She nodded. "This was left to me by my grandmother; there really is a complete set."

really.

Shi Yan was secretly delighted.

"So, would you be willing to sell the whole set?" Shi Yan asked. "If it's a complete set, the price would definitely be several times higher."

Upon hearing that the price could increase several times over, Lin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, but it didn't last long.

"Sorry, I don't have the other items." She shrugged. "This is the only one I can offer for sale."

"Is this the only one?" This was something Shi Yan hadn't expected. "Where are the others?"

"The rest are... sigh, don't worry about it."

Shi Yan considered a possibility and asked suspiciously, "You didn't steal this from your house, did you?"

"What are you saying? I'm a scholar!" Lin Xiaoyue's eyes widened. "Would a scholar steal? This was originally mine, my grandmother's dowry she specially left for me, don't you understand?"

"Uh, so you're not getting married now?"

"Seriously, do you even know how to talk?" Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. "Anyway, it's the only one left, so are you going to take it or not?"

"Of course we can take it. But if it's not a complete set, the price won't be as good, so please think about it some more."

"I'm not considering it anymore. Just give me the money now." Lin Xiaoyue made a counting motion with her fingers. "Give me the money, I can give it to you right now."

Shi Yan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Lin Xiaoyue to be in such a hurry. Although he had indeed prepared to buy the mirror today, now that he knew the monster wasn't in the mirror, there was no need for him to rush. Otherwise, it would be difficult to contact Lin Xiaoyue later. So he shook his head: "It's not that simple. Transactions involving antiques like this require a bank's witness. I'm just here today to take a look at the goods."

"It also goes through the bank." Lin Xiaoyue's eyes widened instantly. "Why?"

"Of course we have to pay taxes." Shi Yan didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to react so strongly to the bank. She was increasingly suspicious that Lin Xiaoyue had stolen the mirror from her home, but no one asked her directly. Instead, she said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "We are legitimate business people. We can't evade taxes."

"You're really something... so you don't have any money on you?"

"I brought money for coffee, so you can order another coffee, or a quick cappuccino if you like," Shi Yan replied politely.

"Nonsense." Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes. After learning that Shi Yan couldn't make the deal immediately, she lost all interest in staying. She stuffed the round mirror back into her chest, turned around and left, leaving behind the words, "Then come find me when you have money. Otherwise, don't waste your time. I'm very busy."

Goodness, that's a really fast change of attitude.

Shi Yan shook his head helplessly, then took out his phone to report to Qi Fei.

But at that moment, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly turned back, half of her body pressed against the coffee table, her face less than 10 centimeters away from Shi Yan's, so close that she could almost count his eyelashes.

"What's going on?" Shi Yan asked, puzzled.

"Let's make a deal. If you can pay in cash without going through a bank..." Lin Xiaoyue pulled open her collar, letting Shi Yan see her pair of erect penises, "I'll give you what you want, how about it?"

Everyone in Shiyan was shocked. How did it get so close to the unspoken rules?

And what kind of person do you take him for?

He's not Qi Fei!

Shi Yan then said seriously, "That's impossible, Lin Xiaoyue. This is a legitimate transaction. Although we had a misunderstanding before, I absolutely did not have any such dirty thoughts."

Lin Xiaoyue narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Really not?"

"Really, no."

"What are your fingers doing?"

What are your fingers doing?

Shi Yan was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized something and lowered his head instantly.

Then I saw his uncontrollable left middle finger frantically poking at Lin Xiaoyue's full breasts.

Shi Yan: "???"

Crimson!!!
