Comprehensive film and television: Qingli

Chapter 494: Return from the Dream (31)

The fact was just as Shen Qingli had guessed. Due to the special nature of his true self, it was impossible for people in this small world to see what his true self was.

However, this world mostly identifies the races of shapeshifting demons by their abilities, and the abilities she has currently demonstrated are indeed somewhat similar to Cheng Huang's, so it is not surprising that Cheng Huang would mistake her for her.

However, Cheng Huang is a ten-thousand-year-old demon. As long as he is willing, the energy he can collect is far beyond what she, a "little Cheng Huang" who has only opened a shop for a few years, can compare to. He doesn't need to worry about the little things she has in her hands, and he is even willing to exchange his own collection of many years for it.

unless......

The wish he needs to fulfill requires a lot of energy, so much that even after Cheng Huang collected it for so many years, it is still not enough. Moreover, there is a time limit for fulfilling that wish, and he doesn’t have enough time...

Shen Qingli suddenly became curious. What kind of wish could make him persist for such a long time and remain true to his original intention?

Is it really because of love for the first generation Bai Ze Goddess as the legend says?

"So... what's your wish? We at the Soul Pawn Shop can grant any wish as long as you can pay the price!"

Cheng Huang was obviously speechless when he heard Shen Qingli's answer, but he was not angry. After all, he was like this in the past and felt that he could do anything.

Because he knew his past self, he knew very well that if he didn't try, Boss Shen in front of him would not easily admit his powerlessness.

In addition, he has persisted for so many years, relying entirely on those meager hopes. Sometimes, he even thinks that everything in the past was just a dream.

At this time, he really needs a demon who will not stop him and listen to his and her past...

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Huang accepted Shen Qingli's invitation, sat on the ultra-small chair specially prepared for him at the table, and began to tell the story of himself and the first generation of Bai Ze Goddess...

A somewhat poignant love story?

Maybe. Shen Qingli did not intend to make a judgment, but she did guess Cheng Huang's wish through this story. It was nothing more than to resurrect the first generation of Bai Ze Goddess, or to reverse time and space and go back to the past to prevent everything from happening.

However, I don’t know which one he will choose.

"So, do you want to resurrect your lover or go back in time and prevent her from coming into contact with Fei and contracting the plague?"

"Oh, you kid..."

Cheng Huang was about to sigh, but suddenly realized something and stopped. From what Boss Shen said, it seemed that she really had a solution?

Although he knew it was unlikely, he still had a backup plan anyway, so he thought it wouldn't hurt to listen. He said, "What if I say I want to go back in time and stop her from contacting Fei?"

In fact, Cheng Huang knew in his heart that even if she was resurrected, what would it matter? They had already gotten into that situation, and she asked for death. Even if she came back to life, he might not be able to keep an eye on someone who was determined to die.

But he still wasn't willing to give up...

"I want to see if the ending would be different if I had made a different choice."

After saying that, Cheng Huang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such words to come out of the mouth of a monster like him. So this is what he thought?

"You did it?"

Cheng Huang also realized something was wrong at this time. Under normal circumstances, how could he say such a thing? And all this was most likely because of the woman sitting opposite him!

Seeing that Cheng Huang seemed to have discovered a little secret of the pawnshop and his attitude towards her changed instantly, Shen Qingli smiled instead, "Since you have already guessed it, why are you still asking me?"

Cheng Huang had said something nice before, like exchanging his thousand-year-old treasure for her energy. Although it sounded good, in fact, he didn't give her the right to choose at all.

Because in his heart, the relationship between them was unequal, so he told her what happened in the past, but now it is different, Cheng Huang has changed his attitude towards her.

This means that in his mind, her position has changed. She has gone from a harmless junior to a big demon that may pose a threat to him.

"Heroes emerge young. Now, I believe you can fulfill my wish. Tell me, what price do I need to pay?"

Although Cheng Huang had made a mistake, he was not in a bad mood. After all, he was technically dead. Seeing that the younger generation of the clan was so outstanding, he had no other thoughts, but was somewhat relieved that their Cheng Huang clan had successors.

However, although Cheng Huang seemed to believe in Shen Qingli, and she did have the ability to fulfill her wish, she had not thought about the price.

Shen Qingli thought about some of the things she had mentioned since Cheng Huang appeared in the pawnshop. After a moment's contemplation, she finally made a decision. "Well, since we are so destined to be together, I don't ask for much. All I want is your treasures and the energy you have collected over the past ten thousand years!"

Seeing that Cheng Huang's face turned dark when he heard this, although she didn't know how she could tell this from the face of a puppet, Shen Qingli still said a few words to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I'm doing legitimate business. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is guaranteed! And don't you think about it? That's reversing time and space. How can you just do it if you say so?"

"I have to take a big risk by doing this, and I don't need this business deal. If we weren't destined to be together, I might not be willing to do this!"

She was implying that Cheng Huang had taken advantage of her, so under the influence of the formation, he was obviously tempted. "How can I trust you?"

Isn’t it easy to gain Yu Chenghuang’s trust?

Not to mention that the pawnshop has the ability to connect to various worlds, the entire world is now under her control. Although it is somewhat difficult to truly reverse time and space, it is still easy to find the parallel world that has been separated from the very beginning.

When the time comes, she can just throw the monster over. She won't need to do anything else. The Cheng Huang from that world will naturally merge with the current him.

How is this not a reversal of time and space?

Moreover, this is different from the real reversal of time and space. This is a real no-cost business. As long as Cheng Huang agrees, she will make a lot of money!

So for the sake of this rare "high-quality leek", Shen Qingli took out a mirror from the space in a good mood, used it to locate a small world that met Cheng Huang's requirements, and then handed the mirror to him.

"We can sign a contract. Besides, this can be considered as a kind of proof. It's up to you whether you are willing to do it or not. It won't be a big deal for me anyway."

No way, we lost a valuable customer.

Shen Qingli stopped talking, and Cheng Huang also fell into the world in the mirror. This was the time when their relationship was at its best. There were no later disagreements, and no separation of life and death.

He seemed to be bewitched by something. When he came to his senses again, he had already signed the contract and returned to his nest with the mirror.

Just when Cheng Huang was doubting his life, Shen Qingli, who had just made a lot of money, was in a good mood and turned her attention to the soul she had drawn out before, which looked not in good condition.
