Slay the God: Late Night Bookstore

Chapter 149 Leaving Cangnan

Li Mingxuan took a long shower in the bathroom, letting the hot water splash on his face. After a long time, he slowly turned off the switch and took a dry towel to wipe his wet hair.

Haoran was already lying on the bed and sleeping, his even breathing sounds slowly coming from him, and he was obviously fast asleep. Li Mingxuan smiled upon seeing this, then dried his hair and looked out the train window.

The night view outside the window is like a flowing painting slowly unfolding. In the distance, dotted lights are twinkling, as if the stars in the sky have fallen to the earth, or like endless fireflies dancing in the darkness.

As the train moves forward, the lights gradually converge into a line, winding and twisting, like a brilliant galaxy across the sky.

The shadows of the trees were looming in the night, and they quickly retreated, as if to make way for the train. A breeze blew by, and the branches swayed, and their shadows jumped on the window, forming a dynamic picture.

The train travels through the night with a slight roar, like a low symphony.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and all worries and fatigue were washed away by the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Li Mingxuan just looked out the window quietly with a smile on his face.

Ordinary life, extraordinary life.

After a long time, Li Mingxuan withdrew his gaze and lay quietly on the bed, with Haoran sleeping beside him. As he silently closed his eyes, he fell asleep like a carefree boy.

Li Mingxuan slept very comfortably and did not wake up until noon the next day when the train was about to arrive in Cangnan.

To be more precise, he was woken up by Haoran, who pulled off the quilt and woke him up forcefully.

Although he had broken through to the Klein peak and could go without sleep for a few days, it did not prevent him from enjoying the happiness that sleep brought him.

Soon the two got off the train and walked back hand in hand.

On the way, Li Mingxuan's eyes fell on this strange yet familiar street.

After the war of gods, many buildings in Cangnan City have disappeared. Although the new buildings are brand new, they give Li Mingxuan a strange feeling.

Maybe he is a little nostalgic...

Miss the past, but face the present.

The two of them quickly returned to the bookstore. It was more like an open space than a bookstore, as he stood abruptly between the two buildings.

However, it seemed that there was some kind of barrier, and no one noticed this scene until they left for a few days.

It was not until Haoran summoned his scepter and placed it in the middle of the open space that the scepter slowly began to rotate and transformed into a library.

Who would have thought that Haoran's Taishan Mansion Lord Staff was actually the Late Night Book House. This also explains why a 'guest' who was mysteriously killed would be directed to the Late Night Book House.

Li Mingxuan simply packed his luggage. Since the entire library was filled with Haoran's scepter, there was basically no need to pack much.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the study room late at night, covering the place that is about to be bid farewell with a layer of golden gauze.

The buildings on both sides of the library have stood over the years, and every brick and tile seems to be telling stories of the past.

Fortunately, these two buildings were built after the war of gods thirteen years ago, so they were also fortunate enough not to disappear along with Cangnan City.

"That's strange, where did Haoran go?"

Li Mingxuan stood outside the study with some doubt in his eyes.

While he was packing his luggage, Haoran disappeared somewhere. He said he was going to get something, but he didn't say what it was.

I'm afraid this is why Haoran wants to return to Cangnan City.

Li Mingxuan thought so.

After all, the Late Night Bookstore is Haoran’s scepter, and Haoran brought his scepter with him when he went to Fengdu.

Li Mingxuan was curious at first why they didn't go directly to Beijing, but Haoran said that he had something in Cangnan City and needed to pick it up.

Li Mingxuan said he could go and get it, but was rejected by Haoran.

Just when Li Mingxuan was still wondering what Haoran was going to get, Haoran's figure appeared in front of him.

"I'm back, Haoran."

Li Mingxuan saw Haoran finally appear, so he said, "Is there anything else you want to bring? If not, let's go."

"I have a few more books on the counter. I'll go get them."

Haoran spoke and then walked towards the study. Li Mingxuan naturally had no intention of going in. After all, he had already packed his luggage and could just wait for Haoran to come out before setting off.

Haoran walked into the study and glanced at Li Mingxuan outside the study. Seeing that Li Mingxuan was looking somewhere else, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Haoran stealthily took out a few things from his clothes, one of which was a white chess piece, which was given to him by fate. In order to avoid being discovered by Li Mingxuan, he secretly hid it before going to Fengdu.

There was also a white Buddhist bead, which was given to him by Master Jinchan when he replied to the letter. He also hid it.

The last thing was the Huitian Pill that Yang Jin had asked for in Kunlun before.

These things are all related to the future, so Haoran is quite careful and even doesn't want Li Mingxuan to find out.

The last two things don’t really matter. The main thing is the white chess piece given by fate. I just happened to have gotten rid of the suspicion last time.

If I were seen again, I might be suspected again.

If Li Mingxuan really knew about this, he would definitely be angry.

"Are you done, Haoran?"

Li Mingxuan looked at Haoran who was still cleaning up things in the study and urged him softly.

"coming!"

Haoran silently put the book in his hand into his backpack, and he hid the three things in the book respectively.

Soon Haoran walked out of the study with a small bag on his back. As Haoran walked out of the study, the Late Night Study began to fold and turn into the shape of a scepter.

As Haoran snapped his fingers lightly, the scepter appeared in his hand and kept getting smaller, finally disappearing in front of Li Mingxuan.

"Let's go."

Haoran spoke.

"Ok!"

Li Mingxuan also nodded, and the two walked together on the way to the train station.

There was a faint sense of sadness in the air, and all that was left behind the two people was an empty piece of land.

Occasionally a few cars passed by, breaking the silence.

The lights in the block gradually dimmed and night began to fall. This street once had a bookstore that was only open late at night, but it has now bid farewell to this area.

Li Mingxuan took a last look back at this city, the city where he had been since he traveled to this world. Now it was time to say goodbye.

I am more or less reluctant to leave this kind of city. I wonder how long it will take for me to return to Cangnan after I go to Shangjing City this time...

Li Mingxuan smiled, put aside all distracting thoughts, walked into the train station with a determined look, and left the city where he had lived for more than ten years.
