    ‘ It’s all packed.” The shopkeeper returned the box to Ji Jing. He was already very calm. He smiled and said,” I hope your friend will like it.” Sigh, since the family head asked him to disguise himself, he could only disguise himself to the end.


    The shop owner silently shed bitter tears in his heart. He had been honest for so many years, and it was rare for him to lie like this.


    “Thank you for your kind words!” Ji Jing nodded and asked curiously,” But, it’s so good, why isn’t the price very high?” She nced at the prices of the other essories on the counter. Each one was really more expensive than thest.


    What was especially strange was that some of the jade pendants that Ji Jing didn’t think were of good quality were actually priced higher than this one?


    The shopkeeper’s smile was quite meaningful.” The original owner was from the Green Snake n in the south of Scarlet Water. He was suddenly in trouble, so he asked me to help him.” It just so happens that there are not many customersing to choose the jade pendant these few days, so the price will naturally be lower.”


    “The Green Snake n, huh?” Ji Jing finally understood.


    “Yeah, he helped me crack Birch’s prank. I owe him a favor, so I decided to help him.” The shopkeeper cleaned up the table and took out a folding fan. He fanned himself casually and said,” Little Taoist, do you want to sit for a while?


    Please, tea is the best match for a story.”


    The shop owner poured a cup of tea for Ji Jing.


    Ji Jing took a sip of the tea. As expected, the fragrance filled her mouth.


    With Qing Shu apanying her, Bai Li would probably walk around for a while longer. It was good for her to wait for Bai Li here.


    Ji Jing sat down and asked curiously,”ls Birch referring to the monster that eats people’s dreams?” Could it be that his prank stole your dream?”


    ” Not only that,” the shopkeeper snorted.” That Birch has set his eyes on the vige where my family lives. He eats one family’s dream every day. He doesn’t have the same recipe every day. His stomach is round.”


    Ji Jing couldn’t help butugh out loud. Why was this experience so simr to


    Taotie’s? “Birch isn’t a Taotie. Why did he eat it again and again?” asked Ji Jing.


    The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.” I don’t know. No one knows what Birch is thinking.” It would be fine if one person did not dream, but it would be strange if the entire vige suddenly stopped dreaming.


    ” At that time, I often had dreams. When I woke up from my dreams, I couldn’t remember anything,” the shopkeeper recalled.” It was so ufortable! He could only remember a few fragments of the dream, but he could not find theplete dream memory. He could only rely on himself to piece it together. Just like how you never had anything, you naturally wouldn’t be envious or regretful. However, when you have it and lose it again, it seems that the lost thing is especially precious.”


    The shopkeeper sighed softly.” Either you don’t remember it at all, or you remember it all. It doesn’t matter. It just so happened that Birch ate the dream and left behind traces of the dream, which made me depressed. That’s why I happened to bump into the green snake.”


    ‘ Green Snake is really good at dealing with Birch. Thanks to him, I found out that it was a Birch who was squatting at my bed and stealing food every day.” The shop owner was helpless. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?


    “What Birch devoured…lt should be a nightmare, right?” Ji Jing suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have asked this question. Birch, who devoured nightmares, especially liked to devour the owner’s dreams. Didn’t this mean that the owner often had nightmares?


    “Yeah, I have nightmares every day, so he eats a full meal every day.” The shopkeeper nodded frankly and sighed.” If it weren’t for the little green snake, I don’t know how many days I would have had nightmares without dreams.”


    “It seems Birch is fit to treat people who have nightmares,” Ji Jing thought as she held her chin.


    ‘ I’ve thought about it too,” the shopkeeper sighed regretfully.” But Birch’s requirements for the blood of the boarders are too high. Even ordinary people can’t do it.”


    Even the shop owner couldn’t understand. Was his own talent something special? However, Birch still came frequently after he was kicked out, which disturbed his rest.


    “There’s such a reason.” “Birch has to pay attention to bloodline when he devours dreams?” Ji Jing asked curiously. Looks like a picky Birch.”


    “Yes, I am. But don’t worry, most of the Birches are good monsters. It’s not surprising that one or two rebellious kids asionally appear.” The shop owner waved his fan and said.


    “I see…” Ji Jing nodded.


    The shop owner chatted with Ji Jing and told her other beautiful stories.


    ‘ Thank you for your story today!” Ji Jing waited until Bai Li had finally finished shopping and returned to find Ji Jing. She then stood up and said goodbye. “You’re wee. Take care!” The shop owner smiled and waved goodbye..
