Zhao Luo was stunned the moment he saw the woman in front of him….skin like snow, hair as dark as ink, delicate curves and captivating features. This woman was a true beauty!
Compared to the other women Zhao Luo had seen before, not a single one could hold a candle to her.
Moreover, judging by the clothing of the two people in front of him, they didn’t belong to any of the powerful factions that Zhao Luo wouldn’t dare provoke. Which meant they were just rogue cultivators. Mere rogues! For her to catch his eye was her good fortune.
When he heard Chu Feng’s refusal, Zhao Luo wasn’t surprised. He had seen this type of reaction many times before; it was obviously just a man trying to save face in front of a beauty. And face? Zhao Luo understood that.
“Hehe! Here! Take these spirit stones and scram!”
With that, Zhao Luo tossed a pouch of spirit stones in front of Chu Feng. At a glance, there had to be at least several hundred stones.
If it had been any other cultivator, they would’ve been unable to take their eyes off that many spirit stones.
Unfortunately for Zhao Luo, the one he was dealing with was Chu Feng. Chu Feng had little concept of the value of spirit stones. He’d probably be more impressed by a pile of gold.
“Tempting offer… but get lost and dig your own road!”
Chu Feng rejected him outright. What a joke…. just a few hundred spirit stones? That’s basically pocket change.
“???”
Although he couldn’t understand what Chu Feng meant by his last sentence, Zhao Luo could tell from his attitude that it was clearly a rejection.
Seeing that Chu Feng remained unmoved, Zhao Luo laughed and said, “Alright, alright, alright! It’s been a while since I’ve met such a tough nut to crack! Boqi! Go!”
Zhao Luo pointed at Chu Feng, and the demon beast behind him let out a howl before leaping at Chu Feng.
Just as Zhao Luo thought this rogue cultivator would be swallowed in the next moment, Bai Yuyan gently pointed with a slender finger, and a flash of sword qi instantly cleaved the demon beast clean in two.
“!!!”
Shit! I’ve messed with someone tough! Time to run!
Realizing the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Zhao Luo immediately tried to flee. But just as he reached the ground floor, the previously meek innkeeper blocked his path.
“Get out of my way, all of you!”
Zhao Luo unleashed a burst of true energy, but with just a flick of his sleeve, the innkeeper sent Zhao Luo crashing to the floor on his backside.
“A… A sixth-rank cultivator!!!”
Zhao Luo suddenly felt a familiar, terrifying pressure. The same kind he had only ever experienced from one other person.
Then, one after another, the people in the restaurant stood up, releasing their auras. All of them were cultivators, and the weakest among them was at the third rank.
What the hell?! A den of hidden masters!
Chu Feng was startled by the sudden display. What kind of restaurant had he walked into? Every single person here was a big shot!
The next moment, the innkeeper approached Bai Yuyan, bowed slightly, and asked,
“Young lady, how should we deal with this man?”
As the personal disciple of the famed Moonlight Sword Fairy, Bai Yuyan naturally came from a powerful cultivation family. Her father was an eighth-rank cultivator.
However, in her previous life, due to Lin Ruo’s manipulation, the Great Elder’s faction launched a rebellion, seized the position of clan leader, and officially stripped Bai Yuyan of her title as the eldest daughter. He went so far as to declare she no longer existed.
After regressing, the first thing Bai Yuyan did was locate her junior brother. The second was to write a letter to her father, warning him that the Great Elder was a serious threat and had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
“Young lady?!”
Hearing the innkeeper address Senior Sister Yuyan that way, Chu Feng asked,
“Senior Sister Yuyan… this restaurant isn’t… all yours, is it?”
“No!”
Bai Yuyan immediately denied it, then shot a glare at the innkeeper.
The innkeeper instantly realized he had messed up. The plan was to never reveal that everything had been meticulously arranged by the young lady. If the truth got out, her image in the young master’s…no, future son-in-law’s eyes would take a huge hit.
“This restaurant is simply known for its excellent customer service. The innkeeper only stepped in earlier to make sure you two weren’t disturbed. Isn’t that right?”
Bai Yuyan narrowed her eyes slightly and a cold glint flashed through them.
“Y-Yes, young… hero! What the young lady said is absolutely right!”
The innkeeper nodded fervently in agreement.
Huh?
Chu Feng glanced at the innkeeper, who was still smiling obsequiously, then looked again at Senior Sister Yuyan in front of him.
Why did it feel like he had walked right into a trap, like a clueless little lamb?
Bai Yuyan sent a voice transmission to the innkeeper:
– Take this man away.
The innkeeper who heard his young lady’s transmission and considering how Zhao Luo had interrupted the young lady and the future son-in-law’s “date”, he also sent a voice transmission:
– Young lady, this guy. Shouldn’t we just…
Bai Yuyan understood what he meant, but she didn’t have the time for that right now. She responded,
– Do as you see fit. Just make sure no one else interrupts my meal with my junior brother.
At that, the innkeeper finally understood her intent.
“Hehe, my apologies for the disturbance, both of you. As compensation, today’s meal is completely on the house!”
With that, the innkeeper quickly sent people to clean up the demon beast’s corpse. Then, with a leap, he dragged Zhao Luo out of the restaurant.
Back in the restaurant’s kitchen—
“Senior, please spare me!”
Zhao Luo immediately dropped to his knees. Sure, they say a man’s knees are worth their weight in gold. But to Zhao Luo, gold meant nothing. His life was far more valuable.
“Spare you? Heh.”
The innkeeper sneered. He brushed the dust from his sleeves as he spoke.
“You brat. You interrupted a date between my young lady and our future son-in-law. On top of that, you even dared to make a move on him. If I let you off, the young lady definitely won’t let me off.”
At this point, Zhao Luo was filled with regret. Deep, bitter regret.
“S-Senior, please! You’re the bigger man; don’t stoop to my level! I-I have spirit stones! I can give you spirit stones!”
As he spoke, Zhao Luo hurriedly took out every last spirit stone he had.
“Hmph! Boy, you’re truly foolish. If I kill you, won’t these spirit stones become mine anyway?”
Step by step, the innkeeper approached Zhao Luo, frightening him so badly that his pants instantly grew wet.
“No! Don’t kill me! My father is the governor, and my elder brother holds a high position in the Great Yan court. You can’t kill me!”
Zhao Luo panicked. The once lawless young master now had tears and snot streaming down his face. And, of course, something else warm was streaming below as well.
“Boy, over the years you’ve harmed countless commoners and cultivators. It can be said you deserve to die a hundred times over. As for me, if your elder brother were here, I really wouldn’t dare to kill him. But you… hehe!”
At this moment, the innkeeper appeared like a devil in Zhao Luo’s eyes.
Inside the restaurant, on the second floor, the demon beast’s corpse had already been cleared away.
“Hmm?”
While eating, Chu Feng seemed to hear a scream. He strained his ears to listen again, but the sound never came.
“What’s wrong, junior brother?”
Bai Yuyan picked up a piece of spirit beast meat and placed it in Chu Feng’s bowl. Watching her junior brother eat filled her with satisfaction.
She even began to imagine the future where she would give him a few children, cook meals, and live as a virtuous wife and loving mother. Of course, that was only possible if Lin Ruo died first.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, didn’t you hear a scream just now?”
Chu Feng wondered if he had been hearing things. He clearly heard a scream just now, but now there was nothing.
“Senior Sister didn’t hear anything. Maybe it was just your imagination, junior brother. Besides, this is a restaurant….perhaps it was just the cry of some fowl being slaughtered in the kitchen.”
Of course, Bai Yuyan knew exactly what had happened in the kitchen, and she was very satisfied with how it had been handled.
“Maybe I really was imagining it.”
While Chu Feng was lost in thought for just a moment, his bowl was already piled high. It was filled with the food that Senior Sister Yuyan had served him.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, you don’t need to trouble yourself. I can serve myself.”
Clatter—
At those words, the chopsticks slipped from Bai Yuyan’s hand. Her beautiful eyes slowly turned red, and her voice caught in her throat as she said, “Junior Brother… do you… dislike me?”
Chu Feng could never stand to see a woman cry. Whenever one did, he was completely helpless.
“No! That’s not what I meant at all!”
But Bai Yuyan’s delicate shoulders trembled, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Chu Feng immediately shoved the food into his mouth. “See, Senior Sister Yuyan? There’s nothing like that! I would never dislike you!”
“Then… what if Senior Sister fed you herself?”
“Uh…”
Chu Feng hesitated. That would be far too intimate.
Seeing Chu Feng hesitate, Bai Yuyan quickly wiped away the tears she had just managed to squeeze out, then forced out even more.
The sight of a fairy shedding tears could soften anyone’s heart. No one could possibly resist.
“Alright! I won’t refuse Senior Sister!”
“Junior brother, really?”
“Really!”
“Then… aaah~”
Bai Yuyan picked up some food and held it to Chu Feng’s lips.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, shut his eyes and took a bite.
Success!
Bai Yuyan sighed inwardly. As expected, her junior brother was still far too innocent. If he were left outside, he’d definitely be tricked by some evil woman sooner or later!
Suddenly, a thought sprouted in Bai Yuyan’s heart….perhaps she should just keep her junior brother by her side forever.
