By nine in the morning, when Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, dressed up and serpentine in figure, seductive in gaze, walked out from her room, even Shen Qiang, who had long been sleeping with her, was still stunned.
Because it seemed to be in her nature, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was not only beautiful, but she also carried this inherent enchantment in every gesture and movement which wasn't concealed by her dignified and alluring red dress.
It wasn't diminished by her pinned-up hair, or the playful curl that hung down at her temples.
In fact, it seemed that living with Shen Qiang had only intensified it.
And this peculiar charm was entirely different from sensuality.
If it had been any other woman with a graceful figure and a stunning face, Shen Qiang would have felt a primal impulse.
But the extreme enchantment emanating from Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing invoked admiration and a desire to worship her.
She was more beautiful than a heavenly immortal.
Even though she had slept with Shen Qiang, she still exuded a regal aura like that of a goddess, and her figure was more devilish, her face more angelic; yet in that moment he saw her, he felt not the slightest indecency in his heart.
"You are really beautiful," Shen Qiang said earnestly.
A smile playing on her lips, Lovely Demon Fox Chu Qing gently linked her arm with Shen Qiang's, saying, "If you keep praising me like this, we might miss the opening ceremony."
Shen Qiang laughed, escorting Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing downstairs.
Following behind the pair, Xiu Ju was dressed in jeans, a printed white T-shirt, white sneakers, and carrying a casual bag, looking like an ordinary woman out shopping. Yet, when she saw Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, adorned in the red dress swaying her voluptuous hips and slender waist with each step, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and whistle softly.
Soon, Shen Qiang, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, and Xiu Ju arrived in Antique Street in two different cars.
After parking the car, Xiu Ju quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Originally worried about a poor turnout which would be embarrassing, Shen Qiang felt somewhat helpless in managing the spectacle on his own.
However, fortunately, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was stunningly beautiful, from the moment she exited the car, she nearly became the focal point of the entire Antique Street, drawing unwavering attention from men and women of all ages.
Accustomed to being the center of attention, Shen Qiang felt a bit disappointed, but fortunately, as Chu Qing smiled and linked arms with him, it meant that Shen Qiang was the true centerpiece.
Thus, the passersby couldn't help but size up Shen Qiang.
And then they invariably had the expression: a flower stuck in cow dung.
But Shen Qiang enjoyed it.
After all, what they thought didn't matter; Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing was his, and no one could take her away.
Walking towards their shop with Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing.
Before even getting closer, Shen Qiang was shocked to see that the front of the new shop was jam-packed with people.
Not only that, but amusingly, Bianyi was standing on a table at the shop's entrance, shouting through a megaphone, "Please do not crowd, today is our Xiduobao's opening day, but it's only a formality, a walkthrough. Today we are selling one item worth one hundred thousand yuan for just one yuan. We will not be selling other treasures."
"So, please don't continue to force your way into the shop since there truly isn't enough space inside for everyone to look around. If you are genuinely interested in the thirty-six treasures of our store and must see them, please step aside, pay a ticket price of 188 yuan, and follow the staff's arrangement to enter in an orderly manner for a fifteen-minute timed visit."
With his arm clasped by Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, Shen Qiang felt a tightness in his chest and was somewhat liver-ached with anger upon hearing this.
Bianyi was really desperate for money.
Damn it, today was the first day of business for Xiduobao, and I feared it wouldn't be bustling enough.
This guy actually bans customers from entering, and he charges a 188 yuan entry fee!
Why doesn't he just rob people?
In Provincial City, scenic spots charge just 40 yuan, but Xiduobao charges 188? And limits it to 15 minutes? This guy is way too much!
Isn't this just chasing customers away?
Just as Shen Qiang frowned and was about to march over, pull him down from that desk, and give him a scolding, Shen Qiang was shocked to see that really, many people were actually buying tickets at the door, and it was quite crowded.
At that moment, exactly two young men, eyes brimming with excitement, walked out of the shop, passing by Shen Qiang and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, chatting animatedly.
"The ticket is too expensive, but seeing the thirty-six treasures of Xiduobao is worth it, they are all exquisite, just awesome. After seeing the treasures of Xiduobao, the junk in other shops just makes me laugh. I'd really rather spend the money to enter Xiduobao than sit in those crappy shops drinking tea."
"Exactly, Xiduobao is truly incredible, especially those Honeycomb Beads, they're so beautiful they make me tremble. If Xiduobao let me touch them for a few minutes, I'd pay 1888."
"Pff, keep dreaming. Those Honeycomb Beads are worth 108 million yuan, you think you can touch them for less than two thousand? Maybe in your next life."
The two men walked past Shen Qiang and Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing, eyes wide with shock, and Shen Qiang's eyes immediately lit up.
Natural Honeycomb Beads?
Aren't those the ones Shen Qiang got from Bianyi's safe?
They are genuine.
They are quite old.
There's a story behind them. Shen Qiang even knew the scene of its creation, but he never realized those beads were so valuable.
This was a bit awkward.
In fact, aside from being quite sure that the vase bought in Shanghai was probably worth seventy to eighty million yuan, as the owner, Shen Qiang only vaguely knew he had genuine items in his shop and how much they were worth; he had no real concept of the figures.
He really just knew that those treasures were very antique, but as for how much, because he had not shown them to Sun Kaiping and Boss Ma before, so Shen Qiang really had no idea.
Pondering this.
Shen Qiang suddenly saw, Boss Ma was being carried out of the shop by a tall security guard.
Shen Qiang quickly stepped forward, coughed to Bianyi, and said, "Bianyi, what are you doing? How can you let the security treat Mr. Ma like this?"
Bianyi was startled, then laughed heartily, "Ah, Boss, so you really know him. I thought he was just some guy trying to dodge the entry fee, so I just followed the rules. Since he's your friend, let him in then."
As if nothing had happened.
Boss Ma, furious, grabbed Shen Qiang and said through gritted teeth, "Qiang, where did you hire such a scumbag? Shamelessly disgraceful to the extreme, 188 yuan for 15 minutes, nothing changes his mind, if you don't pay, he won't let you in, he's practically made my lungs explode. Since this morning, I've given him all the cash I had, and just as time was up, he called the security to haul me out, and he wouldn't even let me reload my money."
Shen Qiang's eyes curved with a smile, "Actually, you could have just called me, or maybe waited for me outside."
Hearing this, Boss Ma, suddenly realizing, turned around into the shop and said, "What are you joking about? With so many treasures, how could I have time to call you? Move aside! I can't wait a minute! I need to see those treasures!"
