I open a bookstore in the human world

Zhang Fan shook his head and chuckled, put down the teacup, and the bottom of the cup touched the table lightly, making a crisp sound.He squinted his eyes halfway, as if he was thinking about something: "What should I say? This is a very complicated matter, and there are many things that you cannot know."

Song Lan: "..." Saying this is tantamount to not saying it, but this also indirectly admits that Zhang Fan's background is indeed not simple.

"Although there are many things that I can't tell you yet, I assure you that I am on your side and will never do anything harmful to you. I can help you when necessary, like today's The situation." Zhang Fan said.

Song Lan frowned: "Like today's situation?" He thought of the scene where Zhang Fan imprisoned him.

"Why, you haven't realized it yet?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, "You seem to be a little stupider than I imagined. I said, boss, you didn't think I wanted to hurt you so you didn't let you move on purpose, did you?"

Song Lan didn't speak, obviously he really thought so.

Zhang Fan couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to analyze it carefully with Song Lan: "Under the circumstances at that time, Taoist Yu already had suspicions about you, so he deliberately used this sword to test you. If you act rashly, I'm afraid his sword will Just got stabbed."

Song Lan suddenly realized: No wonder Taoist priest Yu deliberately stabbed himself with a sword just now. Could it be that it was really like what Zhang Fan said, he was testing himself?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he had to admit that what Zhang Fan said was right.If Zhang Fan hadn't been there just now, I might have really wanted to fight with Taoist Priest Yu on the spot.

From this point of view, at least one thing Zhang Fan said was true: he didn't want to harm himself.

Seeing Song Lan's thoughtful expression, Zhang Fan added: "His sword is a treasure, if it really stabs you, I'm afraid even you will have to go back to see your boss early."

Song Lan's boss is naturally King Yama of the underworld.

Song Lan's pupils contracted, and she blurted out: "How do you know—" How did he know his identity?

Zhang Fan said calmly: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I know your identity and what you want to do in the human world. Don't worry, I won't say anything, and I don't want to stop you. On the contrary, I I still want to help you."

"Help me?" Song Lan asked with a strange expression, "Help me what?"

"Naturally, it's to help you do business." Zhang Fan put his arms around his chest, as if taking it for granted, and asked, "Don't you want to?"

"No..." Song Lan's face changed again and again, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "But, what are you planning?"

Zhang Fan is obviously not an ordinary person, and his strength is also strong. He suddenly said that he would help Song Lan realize his wish. How stupid would it be to believe it?

"Just treat me as a good person and good deed." Zhang Fan smiled, but obviously didn't want to say more. "In short, I'm not bad for you."

Song Lan frowned and thought for a long time, then asked: "Okay, since you helped me once, I will trust you for now. However, our bookstore does not accept people with unknown backgrounds. If you don't tell me your background , then I have no choice but to ask you to go. I don't think this should be too much?"

The corner of Zhang Fan's mouth twitched, and he let out a long sigh: "Why are you still holding on to this... Forget it, instead of making you guess, I'd better tell you the truth."

"I come from the heaven." Zhang Fan suddenly became serious, so serious that he looked completely different from the previous appearance. "In terms of technical terms from the human world, I am a fairy."

"Immortal?" Song Lan was startled, he really didn't expect to hear such an answer from Zhang Fan.After all, whether he is a man or a ghost, gods are a distant and lofty existence to him. He never expected to see gods in this situation, or this guy with a hippie smile in front of him.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.It is certain that Zhang Fan is not an ordinary mortal, and Song Lan is also sure that he is not a ghost, so there are only two options left, either a strange person who cultivates Taoism and Buddhism, or a group of more powerful immortals in the sky.Even ghosts like Song Lan can appear in the human world, so why can't gods?

"That's right, I'm an immortal." The corners of Zhang Fan's mouth curled up, his face full of pride, "If you don't believe me, I'll make you an immortal..."

"All right, all right, can't I believe it?" Song Lan hurriedly stopped him, for fear that this seemingly unreliable fairy suddenly became interested and caused a thunderstorm, then he would really go back to the underworld to see King Yama .

Zhang Fan smiled brightly: "You just believe it, now I can stay in the bookstore, right?"

"Although I don't know exactly what you are here for, as long as you don't harm the bookstore's interests, I don't care." After sorting out the current situation, Song Lan regained her composure, "If you want to stay, you can stay. I won't drive you away, but you have to promise not to cause trouble for me, otherwise..."

As a ghost envoy, Song Lan naturally didn't want to be an enemy of the people in the heavens.No matter what Zhang Fan's specific identity is, even if he is just a small soldier and general, he is much more powerful than Song Lan, a junior ghost envoy.

In other words, with Zhang Fan around, he can avoid many troubles, and things like today will never happen again.

"Otherwise what?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"Otherwise, I have no choice but to report back to the underworld, saying that I met a fairy who claimed to be from heaven, he..." Song Lan said slowly.

"Stop, stop!" Zhang Fan's face changed, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will never cause you any trouble!"

The corner of Song Lan's mouth curled up: It seems that he guessed right. It is indeed strange that Zhang Fan suddenly appeared in the human world. Maybe he came down to earth privately.Because of this, he came to Song Lan - Song Lan came to the human world with a serious mission, even if the heaven knew about it, he wouldn't care.Hiding here with him is much safer than hiding in other places.

However, if Zhang Fan really descended to the earth privately, if Heaven found out, he might be charged with "harboring".From this point of view, Song Lan still has to bear some risks.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing Song Lan's serious face again, Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat and he asked cautiously.

"I'm asking you, you answer me honestly, you probably ran out from the heavens privately, right?" Song Lan looked at Zhang Fan seriously.

It is a businessman's instinct to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages. Although Zhang Fan can solve some problems that Song Lan can't solve, if Zhang Fan is a big problem, then Song Lan really dare not take the risk to take him in.

Zhang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I said why your expression suddenly changed, so you were worried about this. Don't worry, I'm not a fugitive from the heavens, here, here is my proof."

Zhang Fan took out a piece of golden paper from nowhere and handed it to Song Lan, who curiously took it.

This is a pass, and there is a stamp of Tianting Nantianmen Office on it, which does not seem to be forged.

Song Lan looked at the document, then at Zhang Fan, and said hesitantly, "So, you really didn't escape from Heaven?"

Zhang Fan slapped his chest loudly: "I said, Boss Song, just rest assured. My identity is definitely fine, and I won't cause you any trouble."

Song Lan was dubious, but still accepted Zhang Fan's statement. Seeing that all the tools for doing things outside had been removed, she told Zhang Fan, "These two days are too much for me, so I need to find a place to recuperate. Keep an eye on this side, call me if you need anything."

Zhang Fan said that he promised to complete the task.

"This kid surnamed Song is quite powerful. With him around, the third brother should be able to recover as soon as possible." Zhang Fan stared in the direction of the door in a daze for a while, the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

Looking back, I saw the purple clay teapot on the table, raised my hand to wipe it, and the teapot disappeared instantly.

"The good tea left by the third brother back then is not much left, so I have to save some of it." Zhang Fan said to himself.

"You confessed to him?" A female voice suddenly sounded behind Zhang Fan, startling him and rolling his eyes secretly.

"It's okay not to confess, that kid is smart, so it's not easy to fool him." Zhang Fan turned around helplessly, "Why are you here? With your temper, shouldn't you be sleeping right now?"

Xia Lan raised her eyebrows: "If I have feelings in your heart, I will only be lazy?"

is not that right?After searching all over the underworld, I'm afraid you won't be able to find another ghost who is more lazy than your Secretary Xia.Zhang Fan was slandering, of course, he didn't say these words out of his mouth.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Xia Lan probably guessed what the other party was thinking, but she didn't have the heart to pursue it now. "Since you have stayed, are you going to see him?"

Zhang Fan was silent for a while: "It's still gone. After all, I'm a person from the heavenly realm. Showing up in the human realm is already an adventure. If I'm not careful, it will destroy the balance of heaven and earth. I dare not take this risk."

Xia Lan was speechless: "In this case, why did you descend to earth?" This was what she couldn't figure out the most. Zhang Fan knew what kind of trouble his appearance would bring, and the second prince of the heaven was not a reckless person, so how could he Will suddenly appear in the human world?

"Because of an unexpected situation," Zhang Fan smiled wryly and sighed softly, "Back then, the third brother was reincarnated in the human world and recuperated here as a mortal, but the effect was minimal. We found that after his soul was injured, even his temperament lost Affected, he doesn't care about almost anything in the world. It is difficult for him to collect the power of faith from mortals to restore his soul in just a few decades with his own strength, and it is inconvenient for the heavens to help, so he thought of the underworld. .”

Xia Lan nodded: As Yan Luo's chief secretary, she naturally knew about it. "The heavens and the underworld signed a contract, and the underworld sent people to assist the third prince. The chosen ghost envoy was Song Lan. However, in my opinion, although the Song ghost envoy's level is low, the mission has been completed so far. Well done, what's wrong with that?"

"You're right. That kid Song Lan is indeed capable. In just two years, my third brother has attracted the attention of many mortals. The more mortals appreciate and worship him, the faster the power of faith can repair him. However—” Zhang Fan sighed softly, “However, the original decision was too hasty, and we overlooked a very important thing: Song Lan is a ghost after all, with a negative constitution. Naturally, he is not afraid of this, but now that he is a body of flesh and blood, if he has been in contact with it for a long time, he will inevitably be affected. If things go on like this, we will be afraid of death soon, and then our plan will be greatly compromised."

Xia Lan suddenly asked, "Is this why the second prince came to the human world?"

"It's the main reason," Zhang Fan nodded. "With me by Song Lan's side, it can restrain the gloomy aura in him. Although the third brother is not completely safe, at least it can alleviate a lot."

After a moment of silence, Xia Lan sighed faintly: "For the third prince, the second prince also took great pains."

After such a conversation, she slightly changed her previous view of Zhang Fan.Unexpectedly, the most arrogant, rebellious, and troublesome second prince of heaven in the legend would have such intentions. It seems that she misunderstood him before.

"Of course, there is another less important reason." Before Xia Lan could finish expressing the eloquent brotherhood between the heavenly princes, Zhang Fan changed the subject, stretched his waist, and showed a bit of yearning, "I want to come here!" The crown prince may not have been in the human world for a long time, but this crown prince has been suffocated. The last time he descended to earth was hundreds of years ago, when the emperor was still here. At that time, the crown prince was mainly active in the south of the Yangtze River, and he met many talents There is a woman named Yan'er among the folk women who are both unique, and the crown prince remembers her most clearly. She looks as light as a swallow, and she can dance on the palm of a person..."

"..." With a swipe, Xia Lan's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.The feelings are because she has too much imagination, the second prince's nature has not changed at all, he is still the vile, frivolous and frivolous chief playboy of the heaven in the past!

"Hey, where are you going? How can you just walk away? Do you know that this is not cute?" Before he finished recalling the past, Zhang Fan found that his only audience was slowly disappearing, and he obviously wanted to run away.He was so angry that he yelled, but it didn't seem to be of any use.

Xia Lan, who returned to the Lazy Gold Store, seemed to still be able to hear the sound of footsteps coming from the Shadow Bookstore, she rolled her eyes, snapped her fingers, and the surroundings were immediately silent.Wrap your head in a quilt—

Lights out, sleep!
