âFreak, Qing Jue said people from the city lordâs mansion are outside. Iâm going out to take a look,â Leng Ruoxue whispered.
âIâll go out with you,â Freak said. He was worried about Xueâer going out alone.
âNo need. Stay here. Iâll be back after taking a look.â Leng Ruoxue flashed out of the bracelet.
As soon as Leng Ruoxue exited the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and entered the guest room, she heard an argument outside the door.
Outside the room, the waiter stopped the steward from the city lordâs mansion who came to search.
The waiter mustered his courage and explained, âIâm sorry, Steward Zhu. Itâs not that I donât want to let you go in, but the guests said that no one is allowed to disturb them since they are in seclusion.â
âSeclusion? Is their seclusion more important, or my young ladyâs whereabouts more important? Canât you tell which is more important?â Steward Zhu said loudly with his head raised arrogantly.
âOf course the whereabouts of the city lordâs daughter is important. But to be honest, Steward Zhu, the guests in this room are not to be trifled with. If you really offend the guests, Iâm afraid⦠even the city lord wonât be able to save you,â the waiter said mysteriously.
âWho is in the room? Where did these big shots come from?â Steward Zhu was a little hesitant when he heard what the waiter said because he was sure that a lowly waiter wouldnât dare to lie to him. After all, he was the city lordâs trusted aide, so he probed.
âHow would this little one dare to ask? Iâm not tired of living. But Steward Zhu, the guests in this room donât have good tempers! Therefore, I advise you not to barge in forcefully. You probably canât bear the consequences if you interrupt the guestsâ seclusion. Steward Zhu, these are my heartfelt words. Iâm doing this for your own good,â the waiter said with a sincere expression.
âBut the city lord will blame me if I donât go in to search.â Steward Zhu hesitated. Should he enter or not? What if the people in the room were really people he couldnât afford to offend? Then he would be the unlucky one. The city lord wouldnât offend these big shots to protect him!
âSteward Zhu, how would the city lord know if you donât tell him?â the waiter whispered.
âBut I brought my subordinates with me,â Steward Zhu said with a troubled expression. What he implied was that he was afraid that someone would betray him.
âSteward Zhu, besides the city lord, you have the most authority in the city lordâs mansion. They definitely wonât dare to betray you,â the waiter said flatteringly.
âThatâs true, but I canât let my brothers return empty-handed!â Steward Zhuâs face was full of difficulties.
âHehe, that makes sense,â the waiter said with a smile. Then he secretly stuffed a purple gold coin into Steward Zhuâs hands, but he couldnât help cursing in his heart,?Vampire!
Steward Zhu looked at the purple gold coin in his hand.?Uh! Itâs a little too little, but itâs still something! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIn that case, we wonât disturb their cultivation for now. Weâll confirm with them again when they come out of seclusion,â Steward Zhu said in a seemingly reasonable manner. After speaking, he led his subordinates and left the second floor of the inn in a grandiose manner.
âPfft! A group of vampires!â The waiter standing there couldnât help cursing after Steward Zhu and his group left.
âYou, come in for a bit,â Leng Ruoxue said from the room.
âYes.â The waiter knocked on the door politely and entered.
âMiss, how may I help you?â the waiter asked respectfully after entering the room.
âWere those people from the city lordâs mansion?â Leng Ruoxue asked even though she already knew.
âYes, the leader is Steward Zhu from the city lordâs mansion,â the waiter explained.
âWhat are they doing here?â Leng Ruoxue pretended to be confused.
âThey said they came here to look for the city lordâs daughter. I heard that the city lordâs daughter chased after a man,â the waiter said honestly.
âThis city lordâs daughter is quite open-minded,â Leng Ruoxue said mockingly. This continent was also a world where the strong were respected, but there were still many restrictions on women. So Zhu Mudanâs behavior was absolutely shocking.
âUh, yes. She often does things that infuriate both humans and gods just because sheâs an artificer,â the waiter said disdainfully.
âThank you for what you did just now. We really donât like being disturbed.â Leng Ruoxue said very politely and handed the waiter a tip of ten purple coins.
âUh, this is too much. I canât take it,â the waiter said quickly, flattered. He had never encountered such a generous guest!
âYou deserve it,â Leng Ruoxue said. She was very satisfied with the waiterâs performance just now.
âThank you for your reward, Miss.â The waiter accepted the purple gold coins and left the room.
Leng Ruoxue returned to the bracelet and saw Freak pouting and staring at her.
âWhatâs the matter?â Leng Ruoxue pretended to be stupid.
âDonât pretend to be stupid. You actually left me alone and went out by yourself. Boohooâ¦â Freak said aggrievedly as his black eyes welled up with tears. The expression on his face was like that of an abandoned puppy, cute and pitiful.
âUh, didnât I only go out for a bit before coming back?â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
âHmph!â Freak snorted and ignored her, but his face clearly said, âWhat do you think you should do? Compensate me.â
âAlas!â Leng Ruoxue sighed. Then she simply hugged Freakâs neck, pulled his head down, and kissed him fiercely on the lips.
âThatâs it?â Freak said, very displeased.
âWhat else?â Leng Ruoxue frowned slightly.
âIt is too short, lacking in quality.â Freak pouted with dissatisfaction.
ââ¦â
âItâs not convenient here,â Leng Ruoxue said uncomfortably.?Damn Freak, shouldnât you take a look at where we are? This is Old Zaoâs artificing workshop!
âOld Zao is busy and has no time to care about us,â Freak said, his face full of expectation.
âThat wonât do either. Iâll owe you first!â Leng Ruoxue said, leaving no room for negotiation.
âYou can owe me, but I am going to charge interest.â Freak smiled very proudly.
