I'M Zhen
Chapter 39. Books

Yu Yao who was accompanied by An Mian his servant invited Zhen a way out. They're going to the lantern festival tonight. Interested in his name, Zhen immediately agreed to see what life was like outside the forest.

To the outside of the red lantern where and along the way. It is very beautiful when viewed from the lens of the beauty of normal people. But different again when viewed from Zhen's view, "Has there been a war here?" Zhen asked as he looked around in confusion.

"A what?" Shocked Yu Yao and An Mian together. Of course they were shocked to hear Zhen's unreasonable question. The Tang Empire was indeed at war against the Xiling kingdom. But why was the war held in the capital? That doesn't make any sense. "T ain't happening a what's going on here." Answer Yu Yao.

His answer made Zhen shocked. 'That means my illusion?' Think Zhen. The illusion shows these red lanterns are blood-filled lanterns. That's why he asked like that. "Where are we going then?" Ask Zhen.

"A let's go get some sweets first!?" Invite Yu Yao while pulling Zhen's hand vigorously. He bought three sweets with An Mian. Because An Mian was her childhood friend and servant.

'What is this?' Zhen asked inwardly turning back the harsh tanghulu. Because it continues to be turned back the sweets separated from the handle. And make it dirty because of the soil.

"Ah, j fell? I'll buy it again." Said Yu Yao while wanting to buy again.

"No, no need. I don't like salty food. Let's go somewhere else!?" Said Zhen then asserted by Yu Yao.

'But this is sweets, not pickles.' Think the tanghulu salesman.

They go around shopping for this. The lesson Zhen learned from going around was money. They exchange goods for other goods to get what they want. And money is the intermediary. Ten copper coins equals one silver and one hundred silver equals one gold coin.

"Z Zhen, what if we take a boat to the lake?" Yu Yao asked with blushing cheeks.

"Lake?" Zhen asked answered a nod from Yu Yao. Then he looked at the lake filled with red lanterns. "No, I don't like being in the water. You ride with An Mian alone." He said rejecting this request of Yu Yao. He really doesn't like water. Because it was once drowned by Jiafen in the blue lotus lake. So now he didn't want to deal with the lake, the river, or the sea and the place that could make him drown.

"T but.." Yu Yao wanted to ride in tandem with Zhen on this night lantern.

"I'll wait here." Zhen.

"B alright.." Yu Yao replied uninspiredly. He went with An Mian to get on the boat.

After all Zhen was astonished, how could they satisfy their pleasure just by taking a boat? 'Killing is more fun than a boat.' He likes to like himself. Then his eyes saw a grandmother selling books under a big tree. The book was neatly arranged on a pedestal.

Zhen picked up one of the books who knew it contained a great skill. But when he opened the book, not a visible style but a sweet word full of delusion in it. "Why are you selling useless books like this?" Zhen asked in surprise, his harsh words attracting the attention of some passers-by. A handsome young man said rudely to old grandma? Ck ck ck, very disrespectful. But if they knew Zhen was older than the grandmother they would gawk.

"So you want to buy it or not?" Ask the old granny who was a little chubby with a tompel on her left cheek and toothless right here and there. He was about in his seventies.

"I want to ask before I buy." Said Zhen even though he had no money.

The old granny could only shake her head, "I didn't think there would be a customer as thick as you. Your book is a novel written by a few people. There is no secret technique or technique in it. It's just a story that someone's written." Obviously the old grandma.

"A useless book!? Why would they want to read a useless book like this?" Said Zhen did not understand.

The old granny looked at Zhen inside, "Come, why would they want to read it. But sometimes a person needs a sweet story full of delusion to cover up the harsh reality of their life." Said the old grandmother.

The old grandmother said as if addressed to her who had a bitter life.

"So do you want to buy it?" Ask the grandmother with a smile showing her toothless teeth.

"I don't have any money." Zhen.

The granny's smile faded hearing Zhen had no money. What was he asking but he had no money. "Haah, stop. Just take that book for you!? Let's just say I gave it as a gift." He said after paying attention to Zhen's clothes like a difficult person despite having a handsome face.

Buk buk buk

At the end of the narrow street appeared a man beaten to pieces by three men dressed in red. The man was also wearing the same clothes as them, but it seemed like they were bulldozing him.

"You dare to fight us, huh? You dare?" Snapped one of the men in the middle.

"Let's just kill him!?"

"At the same time trash seems to deserve to die!?"

They kept beating the man until he was dying.

Dukes

Suddenly a book fell right into the head of one of them. "Who's the ke*rat who threw the book at me?" Ask the angry person.

They searched and one of her friends found her, "That's her!? ke*rat it's up!?" Said his friend while pointing at the top of the tree.

They looked up at the tree and saw a red-eyed young man staring at them from above.

"Down you ke*rat!? If you dare to fight us." Arrogant speech.

After that Zhen down the…

Duak!? Duak!? Duak!?

His feet that did not wear anything stepped on the faces of the three people took turns. Then take the book which is an old grandmother's gift. "I accidentally dropped my book, why are you so angry?" He kept the book in his pocket.

"These viligents." They looked furious after being stepped on by Zhen.

"T To long!?" Pinta someone while holding Zhen's leg. When he saw who dared to hold his feet, it was seen that the person they were beating was asking him for help.

"How dare you ignore us. Let's attack him!?" The middle aerial. The three of them were going to use their mainstay techniques, but before being able to attack Zhen stretched out his magical hand there was a black wind shield restraining their movements.

While Zhen was exchanging offers with the requestor. "What can you give me if I help you?" Ask Zhen.

"A whatever you ask." Pasrah.

"All right!?" Said Zhen then made the black wind shield even bigger which then devoured the three of them into bones.

The young man under Zhen was shocked to see Zhen being so great.
