Butcher… Tu Kuo!

The moment he heard what the lady boss said, Feng Xia could not help but be stunned.

There was actually someone inside the murderous butcher shop. Not only that, but that person happened to be the husband of the lady boss of the clothing shop!?

You two are really creative…

For a moment, Feng Xia even thought of a bad association.?Could the meat sold in that butcher’s shop have been obtained in this manner?

As this ancient street was buried underground all year round, no outsiders had come here for 700 years. As a result, there was a lack of supply, causing the butcher shop to be empty.

Now…

It was time to replenish the stock!!

Sure enough, there were some things that could not be thought of in a bad light. Otherwise, the more one thought about it, the worse it became…

“The one across the street?”

Even though his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm on the surface. The corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly as he asked with a smile, “Other than this message, does the lady boss have any other requests?”

“I have no other requests.”

The figure behind the screen shook her head. “I’ll have to trouble the two of you.”

Feng Xia nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly asked, “By the way, lady boss, do you know where the teacher from that private school is from?”

“Oh, that teacher.”

The lady boss paused for a moment and replied, “I don’t know where he’s from either. I’ve only heard someone mention that the teacher seemed to be someone who has retired from the battlefield. Apparently, he was injured at the frontline and while recuperating here, he opened a private school. Since then, he has been teaching for many years…”

“I see. Thank you for telling me.”

Feng Xia did not continue asking. He waved at Zhu Youniang and they left the clothing store one after another.

He took out the jade pendant that the lady boss had given him and held it tightly in his palm, but he still felt uneasy. He then grabbed Zhu Youniang’s palm and stuffed the jade pendant into her palm before holding the girl’s hand.

“Are you ready?”

“Yeah.”

“Then we’ll have to do it again.”

The two of them carefully walked towards the butcher shop in the distance again. One step, two steps, three steps…

At a certain moment!!

Kaboom—

The butcher knife in the butcher shop trembled and a terrifying vicious aura erupted. It swept over like a tide!

However, at this moment, the jade pendant in their hands lit up slightly. An imperceptible coldness flowed out and instantly traveled through their bodies.

Whoosh—

The terrifying murderous aura surged through their bodies, but it instantly turned into a breeze, and did not cause any harm to them in the end.

“Fortunately, this jade pendant is useful.”

Seeing this, Feng Xia heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly quickened his pace. When he reached the door of the butcher shop, he raised his voice and shouted, “Boss, are you there? We come from the other side. The lady boss asks us to send a message. She says that your child will be home tonight and asks you to remember to bring a few pieces of meat back!”

However, what he got was a dead silence in the shop.

“Hello? Is someone there?”

“Boss, are you gone? The lady boss asks us to call you home for dinner!”

“Hello, we’re from the property management team. Please open the door!”

Silence.

There was no answer.

At this moment, the butcher knife slowly stopped vibrating. The butcher shop was cold and empty. There was no boss, no meat and no response to Feng Xia’s questions.

“Boss, we’re coming in?”

Feng Xia walked up the stone steps at the door and walked into the butcher shop.

A faint smell of blood drifted over and seeped into his breathing, as if it would never go away.

There was still no one.

“Don’t tell me…”

You see, the wife was bedridden and unable to go out, but the husband often stayed out all night…

Logically speaking, Feng Xia could imagine quite a plot at this moment. If it was written as a short story, it would be at least 350,000 words long.

“Xia, Xia!”

At this moment, Zhu Youniang’s voice suddenly sounded, bringing Feng Xia’s thoughts back. “Look, there seems to be something there!”

“What’s… um, it looks like a letter?”

Feng Xia walked over and picked up a letter from the table. However, his expression immediately darkened. “Damn it, it’s written in words I don’t recognize…”

When he was in that private school, he became literate. When he left, he became illiterate again.

“The fragments of the Heavenly Pattern Divine Fetus Chronicle contain some words from the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom, but because they are only fragments, I can only recognize a few words and can’t sort out the complete semantics for the time being.”

He waited in the shop for a while, but Tu Kuo still did not appear. He could only shake his head helplessly. He took the letter and turned around to return to the clothing store across the street.

“Guests, you’re back?”

The lady boss sounded pleasantly surprised. “How is it? Did you guys meet my husband?”

Feng Xia hesitated but he still answered honestly, “Actually, we didn’t meet your husband. There’s no one in the butcher shop…”

“Didn’t meet him? There’s no one in the butcher shop?” The lady boss’s voice was obviously stunned, but she quickly smiled again. “Then he must have gone to pick up our child. Looking at the time, he should be back soon.”

Feng Xia quickly added, “But we found a letter there…”

As if she did not hear him, the lady boss said in a low voice, “Yes, he should have already picked our child up by now. It looks like I have to get ready.”

Feng Xia could not help but remind her again, “Lady boss, we found a letter at the butcher shop. It might have been left behind by your husband…”

“Oh, right. Guests, your clothes are ready. Why don’t you try them on?”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two sets of clothes flew out from behind the screen and landed in their hands.

The material was rather soft and comfortable. Feng Xia secretly activated a trace of magical power. To his surprise, he discovered that even with his current strength, he could not even tear a small hole in the clothes!

“What terrifying resilience! What kind of material is this silk? A random clothing store on the side of the road can have such precious material. What kind of place is the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom?”

Almost at the same time, a slender and fair arm reached over from the side. An exquisite white dress hung from the crook of that arm.

“Xia…”

“Eh? Alright, alright, I understand. You want me to help you put it on, right? But speaking of which, Youniang, have you been a little… um, unwilling to do things yourself these few days?!”

Feng Xia looked at the young girl who had opened her arms calmly and he sighed for no reason.

“Forget it, it’s up to you…”
