Chapter 36: The shopkeeper said, "You didn't sleep well last night, did you?"

  The entire city of Beijing was suddenly shrouded in darkness, with countless powerful figures, including the Emperor and his **, seeking to find fault with Chen Yi and plot against him.

  And unknowingly, um, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, Chen Yi was still unaware that countless spies were rushing to this small shop, and would take the opportunity to kill Chen Yi directly...

  A new day has arrived, and Chen Yi reopened the shop door, casually picking up the teapot on the counter that had been left overnight to pour himself a mouthful.

  Wow~~~ A new day has begun, but there are very few people in the store today. Moreover, this store is usually popular among middle-aged men, so why are women paying attention to it today?

  Looking at the uncle who had already passed by the entrance of Chen Yi's store three times, Chen Yi immediately understood...

  What are you guys afraid of? Zhenyi looked at the other side, where a large number of women were scrambling to buy chicken feather dusters and wooden keyboards. Zhenyi suddenly understood, forget it, no big deal, I won't do this kind of thing in the future.

  But yesterday, Yakumo Yuko probably, seemingly, somehow took one too? What's she going to use that thing for? For the fox? Or...

  Chen Yi's whole body shook, oh heavens! How could I have such a terrible thought...

  After the feather duster and wooden keyboard were sold out, a group of women reluctantly left Chenyi's store. Chenyi casually threw the earned money into the drawer of the counter and lay on the counter to start daydreaming.

  Later, more and more people came into the store, and when it was crowded, an uncle came up to Chen Yi's side.

  Chen Yi looked at the big uncle in front of him. This big uncle remembered! Wasn't he the one who had been lingering in front of his store three times?

  "Boss, can we talk business?"

  Chen Yi looked at the uncle in front of him with a puzzled expression, although to others Chen Yi's eyes were covered with black cloth like a blind man, but this uncle still gave Chen Yi the feeling that he was staring back.

  "Can you stop doing that kind of thing in the future? Yesterday when I got home, my wife made me kneel on it, and now my knees are all bruised..."

  "Alright! Emotions are a strict wife. Chen Yi nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I'll only do that once and won't do it again."

  "That's great! That's great!" The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, afraid that Chen Yi would not agree. "Then thank you, boss."

  Don't be afraid! My knees are still bruised now, and that thing kneeling is more ruthless than a washboard.

  "Look! The boss's wife has come out!"

  I don't know who shouted, but the old master of the shop suddenly cast his eyes on the back door of the shop. Yakumo Yukari and Youmu Konpaku sauntered up to the counter, squeezing Tenshi out of the way. One nonchalantly started brewing tea, while the other directly lay down on the counter and fell asleep.

  Damn it, why did you come again!!

  A group of old men's eyes kept wandering over Yatsumaki and Yuuyu, finally fixing on Tsubasa with hostile gazes.

  Tatsuya was getting uneasy being stared at, so he pulled on the sleeping Yotsuba Kusakabe who was lying on the counter and said in a low voice: "How did you come here again? Do you know how much trouble you two have brought me? I'm almost becoming public enemy number one!"

  Youyouzi, who was drinking tea, said: "Chen Yi didn't notice that since we came, there are more people in the store, so Zi and I came to help... Hmm, what fragrant tea leaves."

  That's for looking at beautiful women, and also to see how many people are shopping...

  "Let the shopkeeper let me sleep a bit longer, I didn't sleep well last night... zzz..." The voice was soft, but just loud enough for everyone in the store to hear.

  Chen Yi's face immediately turned green, while the other masters' faces immediately turned black. At the same time, Youyouzi, who was drinking tea, seemed to be rubbing his eyes with a "sleepy" expression and took another sip of tea as if to "refresh himself". Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was self-evident.

  Chen Yi's already green face turned black, and you two are playing with me like this. The other big guys' faces have already turned black with anger, their eyes red with rage.

  Damn it! Didn't sleep well last night! The three words "didn't sleep well" kept swirling in the minds of many big brothers, admiring, envying and hating!!!

  Take him down! Many big brothers exchanged a knowing glance, determined to take him down!!

  Chen Yi, who was already being watched closely, felt a sudden tension in his body as he looked at the many eyes gleaming with malice among the old men. After a moment's thought, he placed one hand behind the counter and pulled out the giant sword Guo Shang from the goods rack. Amidst the shocked gazes of the old men, Chen Yi casually placed the large blade on the wooden chair beside him.

  The wooden chair suddenly let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the weight. The faces of the old masters who were planning to kill and silence, originally black with soot, immediately turned white as snow. Goodness gracious, how heavy is this thing? Don't even mention chopping people, just pressing down on someone would be a light task, wouldn't it?

  Looking at Chen Yi effortlessly picking up such a large knife with one hand, the big masters once again had a new understanding of Chen Yi's martial value. What kind of person is this? This is obviously abnormal! No wonder he can make the two boss ladies sleep poorly, as for Bayun Lan, they unanimously believed that she hadn't even gotten out of bed yet...

  Unfortunately, Chen Yi can't read minds or know thoughts. If he knew what these old bastards were thinking, he'd probably have bloodbathed the grocery store by now.

  Yahiro Mau also didn't want to let Tatsuya stop, she who was 'sleeping soundly' suddenly hugged one of Tatsuya's arms and buried her face in the pillow, still showing a 'happy' expression...

  A fierce glint reappeared in the eyes of a group of old men.

  Bang!

  A metallic clatter, it turned out that the wooden chair finally couldn't withstand the weight and shattered under Chen Yi's massive slash... The weapon fell to the ground with a loud thud, creating a small crater, and Chen Yi also revealed an apologetic smile.

  The ominous atmosphere instantly dissipated, and a group of old men began to engage in pretentious conversations with each other. As for going to see the "boss's wife" again? Don't be kidding! Haven't you seen that the shopkeeper has already made his stance clear? The hole on the ground is real, after all.

  Yatsume Murasaki, who was sleeping on the counter, showed a bored expression after releasing Chen Yitian's arm and fell asleep again with her head resting on her own arm.

  After closing the shop, Chen Yi looked at Ba Yunzi with a bitter face and said, "I'm telling you, don't come again, okay? Let me have two days of peace."

  "Alas? How can Xiao Yiyu say such a thing, when others and Youyouzi have come to help you with your business because they see it's not going well?" Ba Yunzi said with a sorrowful tone, covering half of her face with a fan.

  "Take away that title that sounds so ominous! And I'm sure the part of your face hidden by your fan is smiling, right!" Chen Yi had an expression as if he had seen through her all along.

  "Oh no! How could anyone possibly be laughing? Little Yi must have seen it wrong."

  Cutting the crap, get rid of that little Yiyiy for me! I've lived for thousands of years (with a huge amount of water) anyway!

  "Alright! Alright! You can call me Little Chen from now on."

  Chen Yi's face turned even darker.

  "Shopkeeper?"

  The black one is smoking...

  "Xiao Yi?"

  ……

  Xiao Chen?

  "Can't you just call me by my name?"

  "Then let's just call him Xiao Chenyi!" Yiyunzi put away her fan and completely ignored Chenyi.

  "Alright... whatever. Chen Yi let out a sigh, "By the way, it's getting late already, aren't you guys leaving yet? I still have some things to take care of later."

  "Oh?!" A strange glint flashed in Yakumo Yuko's purple eyes, "Do you need help?"

  "...as long as you don't come again, it's the greatest help to me."

  "Hah!" Yagyuu Mika smiled, "How could we possibly not come? After all, we're also the old masters of this place."

  Yakumo Yukari pulled up the still tea-drinking Youmu Konpaku, "Youmu, let's go first and not disturb our shopkeeper at work."

  "Hmm." Youyouzi carried a large bundle of snacks (which she had asked Chenyi for) in one hand, and pointed to the empty tea box that she had packed up with the other. "This tea is very good, shopkeeper should prepare more, or else I won't help you warm your bed in the future..."

  When Chen Yitian logged in, he immediately knelt down and called out "ORZ"! You're just a useless soul warming up the bed, who needs you to warm their bed anyway?!

  ……

  "Alright! Now let's get started, what a hassle."

  After Yatagarasu and Yuyuko left, Tenshi's ORZ state was lifted.

  What happened in the store today was naturally known to a lazy and greedy official, an emperor with ulterior motives, and the emperor's **. As soon as they learned about what had happened, one by one, they suddenly couldn't remain calm.

  You think you, a mere commoner and owner of a small grocery store who also happens to be a blind martial artist, can lay hands on the woman I have my eyes on? Does she want to die or something?!

  A large group of powerful and idle people didn't even want to send scouts, they directly dispatched a large group of assassins and killers, rushing towards Chen Yi's store...

  Chen Yi swung his neck and twisted his waist, pulled out the national mourning inserted into the ground, and chopped people! Still a big knife with a domineering air, came to the backyard of the store, a large golden knife waiting for the arrival of assassins within Chen Yi's perception range.

  It's also unknown whether there were too many people who came to kill Chen Yi, and before they even reached Chen Yi, some of the assassins they encountered had already started fighting each other.

  For these fugitives, killing is a way to make money. Now their own target has been targeted by others. Isn't this what they call "cutting off someone's financial resources"? Isn't there a saying that goes: "Cutting off someone's financial resources is equivalent to killing one's parents", isn't this unbearable?

  A large group of people hadn't even arrived at Chen Yi's place when they started fighting each other, one with a dagger and the other with a knife stabbing away neatly. In the end, only about a dozen organized and disciplined assassins were left to arrive at Chen Yi's place...

  Looking around at the black-clad men surrounding him, all of whom were injured, Chen Yi watched the whole process unfold before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "You... are all quite capable..."

  ……
