Zhulin Town was a typical fishing village that had been redeveloped.
For generations, the people here had made a living from the sea. Only in recent years had some infrastructure been built.
The town was known for its simple and honest folk. Usually, only the market was bustling, and even then, few people strolled around.
Therefore, such a luxurious bar appearing here suddenly was exceptionally jarring.
Zhu Tianqi remarked, "That monster must be an idiot. A bar like this, which should be in a metropolis, is placed on such a run-down street. How could it not attract attention?"
Qin Yexuan nodded. "Precisely because of this, it's strange. We need to figure out why the monster is in such a hurry to act in Zhulin Town."
Zhu Tianqi shook her head. "Even if those monsters have come out of the mountains and want to cause trouble in the human world, they shouldn't be so ostentatious with a bar. I think this bar was built to attract a certain type of people! Like those foolish youngsters?"
Qin Yexuan glanced at her. "Not bad. You've improved a lot compared to before."
Zhu Tianqi chuckled. "You're just old. Don't think that just because you have a young body now, you can act young."
The two exchanged taunts and pushed the door open.
"Please wait!" Two handsome men standing at the entrance suddenly stopped them.
Imperceptibly, these two impossibly good-looking men subtly sniffed the scent of the two individuals.
"You can go in, he cannot!" the handsome guard pointed at Qin Yexuan. "He's underage."
Huh?
Zhu Tianqi almost burst out laughing.
But looking at Qin Yexuan's current appearance, with his fair skin and delicate features, as handsome as a woman, he indeed looked like a green youngster.
Qin Yexuan's eyes flickered. "I have identification!"
He then presented his identification.
The guard smiled and refused. "Identification can be faked. We have rules here, please leave!"
*Swish!*
A white light flashed, and the faces of the two handsome guards turned horrified as they slowly collapsed to the ground.
A sharp Buddha bone flickered in Qin Yexuan's finger and then disappeared. He quickly dragged the fallen guards up. "Zhu Tianqi, hurry and help!" Su Dan Novel Network
Zhu Tianqi was stunned and quickly pulled up the other one.
"Are you crazy? There are people everywhere, and you just kill them to silence them?"
"Idiot, these two are not human!"
Reaching the alley entrance, Zhu Tianqi looked down and felt a chill run down her spine.
What she was dragging were not living people, but paper effigies stuffed with sand from the seaside.
She threw down the paper figures. With a sword in hand and a powerful spiritual force, she struck, causing the paper figures to turn into ashes.
Two demonic energies then rose into the air, only to be dispelled into the night sky by Qin Yexuan's casual wave.
"Why did they stop you?" Zhu Tianqi frowned, unable to understand.
Qin Yexuan smiled faintly. "Because I only recently reshaped my body, and I don't have the human scent."
Zhu Tianqi was speechless. "Can you stop making that overly serious and old-fashioned expression? It's very strange."
Qin Yexuan shrugged. "Then I'll have to gradually learn the expressions, actions, and hobbies of today's young people. In a few days, I'm going to college in Chaoge."
*Pfft!*
Zhu Tianqi burst out laughing again.
She couldn't imagine this fossil of an old man going to college.
The two re-entered the bar. There were many people inside, but it was very quiet.
Elegant music, simple drinks, unlike other bars that were wild and boisterous.
However, the second floor was full of small private rooms, dimly lit, with faint sounds of laughter.
Qin Yexuan pointed to the largest private room on the second floor. "Manto, take him with you and find a way to get into that room. The bar owner is inside. I'll handle attracting their attention on the first floor!"
Zhu Tianqi nodded, picked up Manto, and with a flash of her body, she was under the curtains on the first floor.
She pressed herself against the wall and climbed to the second floor like a gecko.
There were still patrolling handsome men here. They were clearly paper figures in disguise, but their movements were sluggish, and their eyes vacant, not as agile as the ones at the entrance.
Qin Yexuan went to the bar counter and looked at the bartender.
The bartender was a short-haired woman, both handsome and beautiful. She smiled and said, "What would you like to drink..."
*Bang!*
Qin Yexuan suddenly reached out, grabbed her short hair, and slammed her head into the bar counter.
The bartender fainted without a sound. Her body twitched, drool dripped from her mouth, and then a black beetle slowly crawled out.
Qin Yexuan stepped on and crushed the beetle, then grabbed the bartender and threw her into the middle of the dance floor.
The bartender slowly woke up, regained her senses, and let out a piercing scream.
All the "people" stood up and looked at the bartender.
Then their eyes changed, and they all fixed on Qin Yexuan.
Qin Yexuan grabbed a towel from the bar. A piece of "special white phosphorus" fell from his sleeve and was mixed with the towel.
*Crack!*
He smashed another wine bottle, took a swig, and poured the strong liquor onto the towel with white phosphorus.
*Click.* He lit a lighter and looked coldly at the approaching monsters before flicking the towel away.
Flames carrying the scent of white phosphorus erupted fiercely.
The white phosphorus, with its extremely low ignition point and a strange garlicky smell, produced green flames in the dim environment.
And this special piece of white phosphorus also contained "monster bombs" that Qin Yexuan had personally developed.
They were materials composed of willow branches, loess, Buddha bones, and Taoist talismans.
As the green flames, tinged with white Buddha light, swept across, a violent explosion erupted on the scene.
When the explosion ended, the ground was covered in paper ash, leaving only the bartender girl, whose entire body was blackened.
She was scared stiff.
Qin Yexuan walked over. "You can escape now. It's best not to talk too much when you get back. Remember one thing: stay away from this small town!"
The girl ran out as if her life depended on it. All the private rooms on the second floor opened, and handsome young men and beautiful women emerged.
They were all expressionless, each with a purplish-black mark on their foreheads.
Qin Yexuan knew without looking that each young person here harbored a demonic armor beetle.
This bar was built to lure nearby young people. The old monster must have been desperately in need of kidnapping a group of young handsome men and beautiful women, hence this desperate measure.
At this moment, the door of the largest private room on the second floor exploded open. Zhu Tianqi flipped backward and quickly retreated to Qin Yexuan's side, her face terrifyingly pale.
Qin Yexuan frowned. "With your cultivation, are you still afraid of a monster?"
Zhu Tianqi turned and almost vomited. "Damn it, it's not fear, it's disgust!"
In the largest private room, a burly man in a black trench coat was on the ground, uncontrollably eating steamed buns.
The steamed buns smeared with raw pork liver had gone rotten and fishy from being kept, but to him, they were the finest delicacy.
He knew the origin of these buns was unknown, yet he couldn't control his primal urges.
A strange screeching sound came out as the man's black trench coat was torn open on his back, revealing a shell-like carapace that extended outwards, a black shell that was extremely disgusting.
"It's a big bug!" Zhu Tianqi's face turned even paler. She was most disgusted by such things.
Qin Yexuan scanned the scene and smiled. "You're wrong. It's not a bug, it's an old turtle!"
