The golden-haired lady did not even look at Ji Hyun-woon as she walked past him and entered the inn.
The black dust was getting thicker and thicker. It was fine around the inn as there was a wall blocking one side, but the other side was almost completely invaded. One could not see more than three feet away from the inn.
Fu Shi did not even look at Yan Li. To her, humans were simply pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep.
"Thank you, old monk, for saving my life." Ji Hyun-woon cupped his fists solemnly. "If there's a need in the future, Xiao Wang will do his best!"
"Lord of Immeasurable Longevity." The old monk put his palms together and returned the gesture with a smile. "Repaying kindness is also an act of kindness. This old monk has already received the best repayment."
Ji Hyun-woon thought for a moment and suddenly felt a deep sense of respect. He bowed again. "Venerable One, please."
"Good people, please too."
…
The moment Fu Shi stepped into the inn, she attracted countless gazes.
Her long blonde hair was not stained by the wind and sand. Compared to ordinary women, her figure was taller and her clothes were thinner, making her look irresistible.
However, her cold eyes were filled with disdain, as if she was looking at pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep.
Almost everyone who was swept by her gaze unconsciously averted their eyes.
Yan Li suddenly realized that Ku Daoshi, who was supposed to be feasting on the rare opportunity, was nowhere to be seen.
The waiter greeted Fu Shi with a smile. "Miss, are you looking for a place to stay? Our inn is full. If you don't mind, you can find a female hero to share a room with."
Among the rooms that Ji Hyun-woon had booked, there were actually more than ten empty rooms.
"Get lost!" Fu Shi said in the common language. Her eyes were sharp, but she did not look at the waiter. "Ku Daoshi, get out here!"
She went up to the second floor and searched every room as if there was no one else around.
"Innkeeper …" The waiter's expression darkened as he looked at Jin Xiangyin.
Jin Xiangyin flipped through the account book. "It's fine. With the old monk here, she won't dare to make a scene."
At this moment, Ji Hyun-woon and the old monk walked in.
Jin Xiangyin put down the account book and walked out of the counter. He cupped his fists and smiled. "How have you been, Venerable One? The room is reserved for you, the best one. "
The old monk returned the greeting and said warmly, "Thank you, benefactor."
"Little Zhi, bring the sorcerer to rest," Jin Xiangyin said.
The waiter immediately led the monk there.
Ji Hyun-woon returned to his seat and looked around. "Where's Yan Li?"
"Didn't he go out with you?" Bai Yuge asked. "How did you lose him?"
"He's a grown man, where else can he go?"
Ji Hyun-woon suddenly stood up and went to Ji Zhiyuan's table.
Her table happened to be full.
Yuchi Zhenjin saw him coming and smiled, "What's the matter, Crown Prince?"
Compared to the mess at the other tables, this table looked as if they hadn't even touched their chopsticks at all. The four of them only had a light taste of the food.
When Yue 'er saw him, she immediately became alert.
"I want to talk to Sister Zhi Yuan." Ji Hyun-woon rolled his eyes. "Sister Zhi Yuan, can we talk in private?"
"Sure." Ji Zhiyuan's eyes were smiling.
"Oh no!" Yue 'er grabbed her hand. "Master, don't go with him. He must be up to no good! If you must go, Yue 'er has to be by your side to prevent him from bullying you! "
"Go, go, go. The adults are talking, the children should stay at the side." Ji Hyun-woon did not allow any explanation and pried her hand away.
Yue 'er was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Ji Zhiyuan comforted her. "It's okay, I have something to talk to the Crown Prince too."
Yue 'er could only suppress her anger.
Ji Hyun-woon was like a victorious rooster. He glanced disdainfully at Yue 'er and brought Ji Zhiyuan up to the room on the second floor.
After entering the room, Ji Xuanyun smiled lightly and said, "Big Sister's servant girl is really sticking to you like a stick. She follows you wherever you go, as if she's afraid of losing you."
There were two beds facing each other in the room. In the middle was a bedside table with an oil lamp.
Everything that was lit up was reserved by Ji Hyun-woon and could be used at will.
"There's nothing wrong with being clingy." Ji Hyun-woon's face flickered under the flickering oil lamp. "But there's a problem with harming people. I didn't say it before because I'm not familiar with Sister and I'm afraid of talking too much. Now that we've been through thick and thin together, there are some things that need to be said! "
She said with a smile that wasn't a smile. "I don't know what relationship that pig head Yan Li has with Sister, but I know how much he loves you. He loves you so much that he swallowed unbearable suffering without saying a word."
"To me," Ji Zhiyuan sat down opposite her, "Yue 'er is very important to me. But to her, I'm her everything."
"So Sister is well aware." Ji Hyun-woon said.
"I don't blame her." Ji Zhiyuan said faintly, "Only when a person has experienced true misery, will he use his own misery to create another's misery."
"Since Sister understands, Xiao Wang doesn't want to say more." Ji Hyun-woon rolled his eyes and said smilingly, "But what does Sister plan to do next?"
"I plan to return to Giant Deer Territory directly after the Black Dragon King. I'll have to trouble Crown Prince to send the seed of the strange vine." Ji Zhiyuan said.
Ji Hyun-woon said, "Sister, you want to avoid Yan Li, right?"
Ji Zhiyuan turned his head to the closed window. "To me, he not only destroyed the things I've been guarding, but also our future."
"I see." Ji Hyun-woon said thoughtfully, "The pig head told me about the ruins of Lihen Heaven. He probably guessed my thoughts, so he wants to keep you and spend more time with you."
Ji Zhiyuan's delicate body trembled. She closed her eyes in pain and shook her head.
…
Ku Daoshi hid beside the stove in the kitchen of the inn to keep himself warm. He proudly scolded the little Taoist boy, "See? Your uncle is your uncle. I've long smelled the breath of that crazy woman. With her intelligence, she would never think that there's a kitchen in the inn."
The little Taoist boy shrank his body. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong behind him. He turned his head and saw a man standing on the stove, looking at them.
"Hey, what are you looking at? What are you looking at? Don't tell me that crazy woman will find this place?" The Ascetic Daoist turned his head to look.
It was not Fu Shi who was squatting on the stove, but Yan Li.
"It's you, boy. Why are you squatting behind me and scaring me?" Ku Daoshi said angrily, "Do you know that scaring people can scare people to death? Since we're so close, I'll just give you a hundred taels as compensation for mental damage. "
He said and stretched out his hand to Yan Li.
"You really dare to ask for it." Yan Li sneered, "Of course a hundred taels is not a problem. But there are some questions you have to answer honestly."
"It depends on my mood," Ku Daoshi said arrogantly.
Yan Li smiled faintly and said, "It seems that I'll have to talk to the beauty Fu Shi about the compensation."
"No, no, no," Ku Daoshi immediately put on a bitter face, "I'll answer you, okay? I'll answer honestly. Just hurry up and ask."
Yan Li said, "Why does Fu Shi want to kill you?"
"Do you really want to know?" Ku Daoshi's expression suddenly became indescribably mysterious.
"Say it," Yan Li said.
