I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1225: The Orange-Selling Lady of Libra Seat

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: The Orange-Selling Lady of Libra Seat

Yuhang City is the place you decided to "hide from the world."

Firstly, you have grown up here since childhood, and you are very familiar with every brick and tile of Yuhang City – this is what they call "geographical advantage."

As for people and connections, the headquarters of the supernatural detective society is in Yuhang; people like Xiao Feng and Yang Kai can be said to be at your beck and call.

However, after undergoing so many tragic reincarnations in the Reincarnation World, you decided to switch to a new way of life.

First of all, you had no intention of continuing the dull campus life at school.

After all, you’ve been studying for over a decade since childhood and never experienced any other form of life, so this time, you’ve managed to secure a new identity for yourself through the Chu Sect.

"Hmm... Li Muyun, male, twenty-six years old, single, master’s degree in Journalism from Jiangzhe University."

Inside the office building of a newspaper called West Lake Daily in Yuhang City, you sit upright dressed in a suit, wearing black-framed glasses, in front of a slightly overweight middle-aged woman.

She is scrutinizing your "resume" closely; after a long moment, she looks up and asks, "I will ask you a few questions, and if you can answer them, you’re hired."

"Okay...okay."

Your hands are clenching your knees tightly, and your whole demeanor displays a slightly nervous attitude.

Good acting!

You couldn’t help but give yourself a thumbs up internally.

"Prior to joining our newspaper, have you engaged in any other journalistic activities?"

"Yes, the student newspaper at Jiangzhe University was something I was responsible for along with a few classmates."

"Student newspaper? Hmph, in our view, that’s just kids playing house." The middle-aged woman adjusts her thick glasses on her nose bridge, "Besides the student newspaper?"

"I, I’ve interned at the Qianjiang Daily for two months."

"Oh? That’s a big newspaper. If you got an internship there, why did you leave? Or should I say, were you kicked out?"

True to a newspaper job, the middle-aged woman’s words were very sharp.

"No no no, that’s not how it was." You hastily defend yourself, and due to nervousness, sweat even starts to bead on your forehead.

I’m damn well Oscar material— you cheer for your acting skills inside.

"In fact, I had originally obtained the position of correspondent journalist in that newspaper, but as you know, they are a state-owned enterprise, with cumbersome rules and regulations, and the topics they cover aren’t my interest."

The middle-aged woman’s glasses seemed to shine with a glint of light as she pushes her glasses and asks, "Then, what kind of topics do you prefer?"

"I heard that your newspaper is planning to introduce a new column, dedicated to publishing civilian supernatural events and also seeking solutions for the general public, which is exactly what I have been interested in. Because at school, I was also a supernatural enthusiast."

"Good, very good! You’re hired!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Grateful and teary-eyed, you walked out of the meeting room,

and as you left the newspaper building, you took out your phone from your pocket, dialed a number, and soon a gentle and warm voice came through.

"Yun."

"Zhao’er, where are you?"

"Still in the school office, a colleague is showing me around."

"Alright, I’ll head over now, and I’ll buy a car on the way."

"Okay."

Compared to you, Zhao’er had a much easier time finding a job.

She applied to an International Language School in Yuhang City, where all the kids are either rich or noble. Zhao’er got hired the very morning she went, and of course, what they valued wasn’t her looks, but her talent.

Speaking of looks, fewer people would probably recognize Zhao’er now except for you and Wu Qiyi.

This time, it was only you and Zhao’er who returned to Yuhang.

Wu Qiyi herself is quite busy, as she is practically one with Xi Yu, frequently traveling between Europe and China; Lin Panxia is still the obedient student at school; there’s no need to mention Xiao Meiyu, who is the current Demon Emperor, aka Little Jingxing. He’s still young, and many affairs of the Demon Clan require Xiao Meiyu’s decisions.

As for Xian Qianling, that crazy woman – with her zeal for criminal cases, it would be a wonder if she followed.

It could be said, right now, you and Zhao’er have obtained a precious opportunity for some solo time.

Thinking of this, you suddenly look forward to the evening’s arrival, and a smile involuntarily appears on your face.

"Hey, young man, you with the sleazy smile."

A middle-aged woman’s voice came from behind you. You glanced left and right, noticed you were alone, and then turned to look at the woman: "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, yes." The woman waved at you, "Come buy some oranges, they are fragrant and sweet."

You smiled and shook your head: "No thanks, I don’t really like sour things."

"Silly boy, even if you don’t eat them, your girlfriend will certainly like them. Don’t you know that women who like sour things are more likely to give birth to boys?"

Wow, this auntie’s got some solid sales talk!

"Um, Auntie, how did you..."

"Auntie what, Auntie who? I’m only a few years older than you, by calling me old you’re asking for a lightning strike, you know?"

Alright, I’ve really met a formidable character here. It seems true talent can be found among the common folk.

You took a careful look at the woman; indeed, she could be your auntie in age, but you were too lazy to argue and simply asked: "So, elder sister, how much for the oranges?"

"Seven yuan per jin, super cheap." As soon as you started to ask, she already pulled out a red plastic bag and started filling it with oranges.

"Hey, hey, I haven’t said I wanted to buy any yet."

"You, a young lad, why act so hesitant and sluggish. That’s not good, you know. As a man, you have to not only be firm and last long but also be quick when it’s time to be quick."

You covered your head, unable to refrain from laughing.

"Laughing? Be serious! What I’m telling you is life wisdom," she said, pulling out a commonly seen steelyard balance and weighing some oranges before adding more to the bag.

"Hey, hey, elder sister, stop adding more, I can’t eat that many."

"Oh dear, you young people buying a few extra oranges, what’s the big deal? Oranges have lots of vitamin C, they can boost your immune system. And me, I’m a Libra, now it weighs seven and a quarter jin. Shall I round it up to eight for you?"

"Come on, isn’t that trick one that Virgos often use?"

Upon hearing your words, the woman couldn’t help but give you a coy glance, "Naughty, now you’re even hitting on your elder sister."

Gosh!!

Dear heavens, can someone deal with this demon!

In the end, sort of helpless and scratching your head – after all, she’s held the initiative from the very beginning – you could only nod in agreement.

You suddenly felt that if you turned and left at this moment, you’d probably be nagged by her so much that you wouldn’t be able to lift your head for the rest of your life.

This isn’t any ordinary woman, this is a deity!

PS: Speaking of which, every auntie at the vegetable market is incredible, every time I go to buy vegetables, they bamboozle me completely. I end up coming home with a pile of veggies, then get a thorough ticking off by the young one; then once, the young one came with me to the market, and then... pfft, haha! Let me laugh first! Because after that day, we had enough vegetables in the fridge to last a whole week!
