Qiao Jin opened the car door. “Feifei, you go back first, and I’ll go shopping at the mall.”
Qiao Fei got a burst of energy as soon as she heard this. She couldn’t do much else, but she was good at shopping. “What do you want to buy, Xiao Jin? Mom will buy it all for you! Mom has good taste.”
Qiao Jin said, “No, there is such an age gap between us. You are already a middle-aged woman.”
Qiao Fei was speechless.
She felt like she had just been stabbed hard in the heart by her daughter, and she could do nothing but watch Qiao Jin get out of the car and leave.
Qiao Jin entered the mall.
Her eyes were locked on a man in front. Of course, because they were quite far apart, nobody would notice her looking at him, nor would anyone notice the excitement beginning to appear in her eyes.
Her intuition wasn’t wrong. In this modern world, there were still remnants of the past.
Right now, for instance, she felt the presence of demon energy.
Demon energy was only a Symbolic Energy, different from death energy and grey energy. It was colorless and tasteless, and it could only be conjured by a Spiritualist.
When a human being had the power of a Spiritualist, they would be endowed with unparalleled ability by the heavens. free webnovel.com
But if they were to use this power for wicked purposes, they would develop demon energy on their body.
It was equivalent to embarking on a dark, immoral path. That is to say, this was a force that wasn’t recognized by the rules of magic, so a corresponding price must be paid.
This kind of Spiritualist’s power would become tied to the conjuration of demon energy. Also known as monsters, they would never be upgraded or evolved.
Fundamentally speaking, they had gone against the conventions of Spiritualists.
Among the monsters, wizards were the most common, while magic circle practitioners and spellcasters were relatively rare. Wizards usually made the most abnormal monsters.
But this, for Qiao Jin, was an excellent thing.
She followed the man into the mall. He walked all the way towards the innermost area of the mall, and she felt more and more excited.
His ultimate goal was a jewelry store.
This jewelry store was located in the central part of the first floor of the shopping mall. Next to it was an emergency exit, and across the hall from the left side of the store was an elevator.
The space wasn’t too wide or narrow–most shopping malls were like that, after all.
Although he was dressed in disheveled clothes, when the man walked into the jewelry store, the store assistant was well-mannered, and she smiled politely. “Hello sir, how can I help you?”
The man’s eyes casually glanced around the luxurious jewelry store, and he pointed directly at a gold necklace in the outermost counter.
The store assistant didn’t think that there was any problem, so she took out the gold necklace for him. “Do you want to see this one?”
However, as soon as she took it out, the man snatched it from her roughly, then put it directly into his coat pocket and walked out of the store.
The store assistant was dumbfounded. “Sir, you didn’t pay for it yet. You…”
Another female store assistant at the door responded quickly and grabbed the man’s arm. “Sir, you didn’t pay—”
Before she finished speaking, the man turned his head furiously, then groaned. With a bang, a large sheet of glass next to the elevator shattered in a great explosion.
“Ah!!!!”
This immediately frightened other passersby in the mall. As for the few people who were on the elevator, they felt their legs grow weak right on the spot.
Screams erupted, and the jewelry store staff, also shocked by this sudden crisis, froze in panic.
