Boom—
In the midst of the battle.
The tavern collapsed.
Turning into ruins once again.
"Everyone!"
Xiao Chen's expression was extremely unsightly.
"Everyone, this is a misunderstanding! Please, everyone, calm down."
"Misunderstanding?"
Xiao Chen explained, "Everyone, this must be a setup. Think about it, our family runs a tavern. How could we smash our own signboard? Besides, it's broad daylight, and I have no grievances or animosity with any of you. Why would I poison you all?"
"What you say makes sense, but the poison did come from your tavern. We've all been poisoned. Although it's not fatal, you need to give us an explanation."
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth: "Alright, I, this young master, will give you an explanation and offer compensation. Please, everyone, show mercy."
Damn it!
Crap, crap, crap!
What's going on?
How could this happen?
Why were they all poisoned?
Could it really be Xu Fengqiu's Lone Star of Calamity?
Then how come he and the people around him have been fine all these years?
Why is it only happening to me, Xiao Chen?
Subsequently, Xiao Chen gave them antidote pills to detoxify them, and then handed over almost all of his spiritual weapons, Yuan Spirit Crystals, pills, and natural treasures, which finally quelled their anger and they left.
After all, Xiao Chen didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
The Heavenly Passage City is now full of strong individuals from all corners of the world.
Looking at the tavern that had once again turned into ruins before him.
Xiao Chen's mouth twitched.
"My tavern."
Xiao Dashan's tears streamed down his face.
Decades of hard work, the tavern, the inn, all gone.
Soon, the city lord arrived with people.
"You're the owner of this tavern, right?"
The city lord asked Xiao Dashan.
"Yes..."
"Regardless of the reason, dozens of martial artists were poisoned in your inn. They are martial artists, so they are fine. If they were ordinary people, wouldn't there have been fatalities? According to the Holy Yao Law, a fine of thirty thousand taels of silver is imposed as punishment. Can you pay it in full today?"
Xiao Dashan's head went dark, and he almost fainted.
Thirty thousand taels...
All his savings over the years only amounted to ten thousand taels.
He would have to sell all his properties in Heavenly Passage City.
"I can..."
Xiao Dashan said in despair.
"Come with this city lord to pay the fine."
"Yes..."
Xiao Chen stood there, clenching his fists.
At this moment, Xu Fengqiu sighed and left.
Ka, ka, ka—
Xiao Chen clenched his fists, looking at Xu Fengqiu walking away!
Was it him?
Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence?
Once is an accident, but what about twice?
Could he really be the Lone Star of Calamity?
Xiao Chen admitted that he was a little apprehensive.
If Xu Fengqiu was really the Lone Star of Calamity.
Then his life in this world might very well be ruined by Xu Fengqiu.
No!
He doesn't believe it!
He, Xiao Chen, doesn't believe in this evil!
...
Another day passed.
A small, two-story tavern with a small area in Heavenly Passage City.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Dashan sat on the first floor.
There were not many customers.
Because this shop was too small.
Xiao Dashan seemed to have aged twenty years overnight.
"Chen'er, is this Xu Fengqiu really the Lone Star of Calamity! Everything was fine for so many years. How come these kinds of things have happened for two consecutive days since we met him?"
Xiao Dashan was just a businessman with no talent in martial arts.
He didn't quite understand these things about martial arts.
But through his own personal experience, the experiences of these years.
He felt that something was wrong.
Everything was fine for decades. How could these kinds of things happen for two consecutive days since we happened to meet him?
If you were to tell him that he wasn't the Lone Star of Calamity.
He really wouldn't believe it.
Xiao Chen clenched his fists.
Was Xu Fengqiu the Lone Star of Calamity?
In fact, after these two incidents, he was somewhat suspicious in his heart.
Compared to losing these shops.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he, a dignified Rebirth Emperor.
Why could he be tainted by Xu Fengqiu's Lone Star of Calamity?
He was very unwilling, very upset!
He was the Child of Destiny!
He had already been reborn.
Could he still have his luck severed by this Xu Fengqiu?
Everything he had on him that wasn't absolutely necessary had been compensated to others.
Damn it!
Xiao Dashan said: "Hey, in these two days, two shops are gone. In order to pay the fine, the family property in Heavenly Passage City has already been sold. Only this small tavern is left, and there's not much business."
Then he continued: "Many years ago, I also started from this small tavern. The tavern's business is not good, but fortunately, I secretly do some romantic business on the second floor. Although the business is small, it can still earn some money."
The first floor was for selling wine.
On the second floor, there were actually a few small rooms.
It was the kind of "massage" place.
The fees were definitely not expensive.
The quality of the girls was definitely not very high either.
But after all, it was cheap.
But even if it was cheap, the earnings were still okay.
Xiao Chen said: "Let's not talk about this Xu Fengqiu for now. Father, when I return from the ruins, just selling some spiritual weapons and other items will be tens of thousands of taels of silver. When that time comes, I'll open a big shop for you again."
Xiao Dashan shook his head: "The tavern poisoning incident has already made it impossible for Father to open a shop. This shop was also secretly opened before. Just make a living, Chen'er. Stay away from that Xu Fengqiu. Father is afraid that he will sever your luck. My Xiao family has been extremely mediocre for generations. It's enough that you're a genius. It's enough if you can be well."
Xiao Chen clenched his fists!
Xu Fengqiu!
Ah, ah, ah!
Ka—
Just then.
The door was pushed open.
Xu Fengqiu walked in.
He just planned to come over and buy a pot of wine.
He didn't even know why he walked into this small tavern.
It was just a ghostly impulse. He just felt that it was on the way, so he came in to take a look.
Then he saw Xiao Dashan and Xiao Chen sitting there.
Okay.
It was them again.
It seemed that the effect of the Calamity Card continued to work.
No wonder he had a ghostly impulse to walk in.
Xiao Dashan was just about to say welcome.
Suddenly seeing Xu Fengqiu walking in, he lost his balance and fell to the ground in fright.
Seeing Xu Fengqiu, Xiao Chen's heart also suddenly "thumped".
No.
Why was it him again?
Damn it, was he doing it on purpose?
There were so many places in the entire Heavenly Passage City. Why was it that he always came into his shop?
"I'll leave."
Xu Fengqiu deliberately said this again.
Hearing this, Xiao Dashan breathed a sigh of relief.
Please leave quickly.
But Xiao Chen stood up: "Young Master Xu, please stay!"
Xiao Dashan's body trembled.
Xu Fengqiu looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said: "It's still the same sentence. Since you're here, you're a guest. Young Master Xu, are you buying wine?"
Xu Fengqiu nodded: "Yes."
"Selling! Immortal's Intoxication, right? Coincidentally, I still have some stored here. I'll go get you some wine."
Xiao Chen didn't believe it!
Bullshit Lone Star of Calamity!
Bullshit!
Even if it's true!
He is Xiao Chen!
He is the Rebirth Emperor!
Don't even think about affecting me!
Moreover, today, this poison must be successfully administered!
Damn it!
My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!
Even less in your hands, Xu Fengqiu!
"I'll leave immediately after you get it."
Xu Fengqiu said.
"Very soon."
Xiao Chen went to the back room to get wine and poison Xu Fengqiu.
But at this moment...
Dong, dong, dong—
Hurried footsteps came from upstairs.
Then a man ran down in distress.
"Esteemed customer, what's wrong?"
Xiao Dashan looked at the man in confusion.
His lips were black, and they had turned into sausage lips.
"Poison! There's poison! That woman is poisonous!"
The man roared angrily.
Xiao Dashan: ???
"Black shop! I'm going to smash your black shop!"
Rumble—
A thunderclap.
The small shop once again turned into ruins.
"No!!"
Xiao Dashan knelt on the roadside, watching his last small shop with tears streaming down his face.
Xiao Chen stood there, trembling all over.
Defeated!
He was completely defeated!
Lone Star of Calamity!
This Xu Fengqiu is definitely the Lone Star of Calamity!
Three times. Once is a coincidence, twice could also be said to be a coincidence, but three times, could it still be a coincidence?
Being with him will lead to misfortune!
Including the time at the black market, his mentality collapsed!
It was also Xu Fengqiu!
He is the Lone Star of Calamity!
As for why his family and the Xu family are fine, and he himself is fine.
Then it can only be said that perhaps his Lone Star of Calamity is special.
It has no effect on relatives!
But for others, they will suffer countless hardships!
He believed it!
He completely believed it!
Meeting Xu Fengqiu several times.
His luck had been severed.
No way!
Although he wants to kill this Xu Fengqiu.
But it's best that he doesn't have a conflict with him himself.
He has to think of other ways!
Damn it!
"My condolences."
Xu Fengqiu patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, and then walked away.
"This time at the ruins, I definitely can't walk with him, otherwise, not to mention creating a law or the Heavenly Soul Totem, I'm afraid my life will be left in the ruins!"
Xiao Chen murmured in shock.
