"Why is it called the fifth floor?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's inquiry, Zhao Li rolled his eyes angrily: "Mr. Jiang, are you drunk? I am the owner of convenience store No. 444, not the owner of the fifth floor. How do I know why it is there?" Called the fifth floor? If you want to know the answer, you have to ask the boss on the fifth floor."
"Hey, you really don't know why it's called the fifth floor? Unfortunately, I happened to see the boss of the fifth floor today. At that time, I heard someone calling him..."
Having said this, Jiang Chen paused for a moment. Then, with a playful smile on his face, he stared at Official Zhao closely and said word by word: "Fifth Young Master!"
"Fifth Young Master?"
For a moment, the memory in Officer Zhao's mind quickly opened up, as if a boundless stormy sea suddenly arose on the calm sea. Then, he suddenly got agitated, and the drunkenness all over his body dissipated into nothing in an instant. He opened his eyes wide. His eyes were full of disbelief: "Mr. Jiang, if I heard correctly, you just told me that the boss of the fifth floor is the fifth young master?!"
"Yes, that's him."
Jiang Chen looked at Official Zhao with a playful expression on his face: "What's wrong, are you scared?"
"Gulu!"
Subconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhao Li said with a wry smile: "That's the Fifth Young Master. You are always a master of supernatural powers, so of course you are not afraid, but I am just a small ghost, how can you not be afraid?"
On the side, Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing were listening to the conversation between Jiang Chen and Zhao Li. They only understood that there had been a lot of ghosts nearby recently, but they didn't understand anything else. They were confused. Wang Xiaoya then asked: " What fifth master, what kind of riddles are you two playing, why can’t I understand a word you say?”
"I didn't quite understand it either."
Xia Dongqing thought about how frightened Officer Zhao was when he heard Jiang Chen say "Fifth Young Master", and couldn't help but asked with some curiosity: "Who is this Fifth Young Master?"
"This fifth young master..."
Hearing Xia Dongqing's inquiry, Zhao Li couldn't help but take a deep breath. It took him a long time to calm down, and he responded with a bit of annoyance: "He is not a human being at all!"
"ah?!"
At this time, Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya were both dumbfounded. They looked at each other and saw the confusion on each other's faces: Not a human? Could he still be a ghost
But soon, they put aside this idea, because as Zhao Li is the soul ferryman, in a sense, after a person dies, the soul is under his control. Even a powerful existence at the level of a ghost king, when they meet him like this The ghosts and ghosts must be given some face, and they will never frighten him like this.
Their doubts did not last long, because Jiang Chen quickly gave the answer: "That fifth young master is indeed not a human being. To be precise, he is a beast, a mythical beast. His name is' Taotie'."
"Taotie?!"
Hearing this, both Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing couldn't help but change their expressions: "Taotie, one of the legendary nine sons of the dragon?! Can't you be mistaken?"
"Make a mistake? Who do you think Mr. Jiang and I are?"
Zhao Li had a solemn face and said in a deep voice: "According to legend, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each with his own interests. This Taotie is the dragon's fifth son, one of the ancient ferocious beasts. His biggest characteristic is his gluttony. He eats whatever he encounters, and basically nothing is left wherever he passes. This explains why corpse mutilation cases occur nearby, and so many souls disappear, because they are all destroyed by him. Eat it."
"ah?!"
At this time, Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya were really frightened. After all, such a horrific thing as cannibalism was unimaginable to them.
"Do you find it scary?"
Jiang Chen spoke calmly. Seeing Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing nodding in unison, he continued: "Actually, in essence, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, humans also eat animals, because in the food chain, humans stand at the top of the list. On top of animals, but the Taotie is still on top of humans, so if humans can eat animals, the Taotie can naturally eat humans as well.”
"What about you, Mr. Jiang?"
"Of course I can also eat gluttonous food."
Jiang Chen said matter-of-factly: "Let's go. If any of you are interested, come with me to see the legendary Dragon Son beast. This opportunity is rare!"
"this... ... ... ."
While Xia Dongqing was still hesitating, Wang Xiaoya jumped out with her hands raised: "Me! Me! Me!"
"Xiaoya, aren't you scared?"
Xia Dongqing asked in a low voice, as if he wanted to dispel Wang Xiaoya's idea, which seemed unreliable at all. After all, although he was quite confident in his cheap master's cultivation, facing the legendary beast, This confidence began to decline unconsciously.
After all, in his subjective consciousness, he is an ordinary person. Even if he has learned some cultivation spells, he is still a novice at best. His knowledge of practitioners is only mortals, ghosts, gods, etc. Yes, as for the advanced realm of cultivation, he didn't know anything about it, and naturally he didn't know which one was more powerful between Jiang Chen and Taotie.
"What are you afraid of!"
Compared with Xia Dongqing's worry and caution, Wang Xiaoya is obviously more cautious. In her opinion: "Anyway, with Mr. Jiang and Zhao Li here, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"No, don't count me in."
Unexpectedly, just as she spoke, Zhao Li had already put aside herself and said: "This matter concerns Long Zi, it is not a trivial matter. This is beyond my jurisdiction, so I must first go back to the underworld and inform Pluto about Taotie. Pass the message to the three realms, otherwise if something goes wrong, I, a little bastard, cannot bear the responsibility."
Wang Xiaoya was slightly startled, but then she held on and said: "Even if Zhao Li is not here, isn't Mr. Jiang still here? It's just a glutton, and Mr. Jiang may be able to solve it."
"ha!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately responded with a chuckle: "Since the crazy girl has so much confidence in me, I can't be too disappointing. Let's go. If they don't go, I'll take you alone."
"Who said I won't go?"
Seeing this, Xia Dongqing quickly shouted: "I want to go too, I want to protect Xiaoya!"
The four people in the store were now divided into two groups.
Convenience store No. 444 was closed for the rare occasion, and Zhao Li went to the underworld to report the news. Jiang Chen led Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya across the road to the door on the fifth floor opposite.
"I'll knock on the door!"
In order to show her bravery, Xia Dongqing stood up immediately and volunteered to knock on the door. Soon, the door opened, and a young woman wearing a long red cheongsam appeared in the door. She saw three people outside the door. , couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously asked: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Earlier, she had been informed by the fifth son of the boss that there was only one guest tonight, and that guest had already finished bathing and changing clothes, and had started eating.
"We are here to find your boss, Fifth Young Master!"
Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes and thought of a way to deal with it. She immediately narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "He invited us here, just lead us in."
"Sorry, I didn't receive any notification, so please leave."
Hearing this, the woman in red instinctively felt that something was not right. After all, she had been following the Fifth Young Master for some time, and she had some understanding of the Fifth Young Master's habits. Therefore, she dared to believe that what the other party said was not true. It's not true. As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing that the other party was about to close the door, Xia Dongqing quickly stretched out a hand and pressed it against the door. At this time, half of his body had already stepped in and was stuck in the middle of the door: "We are indeed here to find the Fifth Young Master. , please let us in."
Seeing this, the woman in red frowned, and immediately stood in front of Xia Dongqing and said loudly: "You three, I'm really sorry, we are a high-end private club here. You can't enter without a reservation. Please leave. , otherwise, I would have to call the police.”
"Call the police?!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately sneered in response: "If you want to call the police, just call the police. Let's see if the police come, will they arrest us or you?"
"The police are here, of course they arrested..."
Mentioning the police, the woman in red couldn't help but have a look of panic on her face. She was choked in her throat just halfway through her words.
"Step aside!"
