Tao Yongchun asked, "Niu Er, what are you doing?"
"The Lady Boss's bathwater," Miao Yi replied.
The two were shocked. They realized that this person was really flexible. In their eyes, Miao Yi had always been an amazing person. They didn't expect him to do something that would damage his reputation. He was actually carrying a woman's bathwater!
As they thought about this, they felt that there was nothing in this world that they couldn't endure. A man should be flexible. This was a great encouragement!
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi added, "It can't be helped. I didn't have to do this in the first place. Wasn't it to get you two in here? It's nothing to suffer a little."
The two were speechless. They weren't sure if they were touched. "We'll help you carry it in the future."
"Alright! Then it's a deal. " Miao Yi agreed readily. He turned around and handed the two buckets of water to each of them. "From tomorrow onwards, you two will take turns to carry it."
When he reached upstairs, Miao Yi knocked on the door. "Lady Boss, I've brought them to you."
As the door opened, the Lady Boss's graceful figure appeared behind it. When she saw the two buckets of water in the other two's hands, she raised an eyebrow. An inexplicable anger suddenly ignited in her heart. 'Are you afraid of dirtying your hands by helping me carry the bathwater?'
Bang! As soon as the door closed, a voice came from inside the house. "Change the two buckets of water."
Miao Yi asked in surprise, "Why?"
"The water can only be delivered by hand. What if someone tampered with the water?" The Lady Boss said coldly, "Are you going to change it or not?"
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll change it immediately. " Miao Yi had no choice but to ask for help. He took the buckets of water from the two's terrified hands and flew downstairs.
When he entered the kitchen, he placed the two buckets of water on the side and went into the cooking room. He ran to the cook's side, picked up his chopsticks, and chatted with the cook as he tasted the food. After a while, he turned around and came out from the inner room. He picked up the two buckets of water and was about to send them back.
Suddenly, a mocking sneer came from behind him. "You're done changing the water?"
Miao Yi felt like he was struck by lightning. He froze in place and slowly turned his head around. The Lady Boss had unknowingly appeared in the kitchen, and she was right behind him. She was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, which made his scalp go numb. He cursed in his heart, "This woman is so sinister, actually playing the stalking trick."
"Lady Boss. This water is really clean. There's really no need to change it. It's not easy to use water in this desert. It would be a waste to throw it away. "Miao Yi laughed dryly.
"Oh! It's clean! " The Lady Boss flicked her sleeves and her transcendence energy surged out. Two buckets of water were flipped over and poured over Miao Yi from head to toe.
Miao Yi was drenched on the spot. Even if he wanted to invoke his arts to defend himself, it was useless. His opponent's cultivation was higher than his.
In the inner room, the cook, who had lifted the cloth curtain, laughed out loud. A few of his assistants were also sneaking peeks and giggling.
"It's such an honor to be able to share a bath with the Lady Boss!" Miao Yi chuckled as he wiped his face with both hands. With a shake of the spellcaster's hand, mist burst out of his body, and he dried up again.
"Only a ghost would share the bathwater with you!" The Lady Boss raised her hand, as if she was about to strike again.
"Lady Boss, I was wrong. I'll change it for you right now." Miao Yi picked up the buckets and quickly ran off.
There was a separate room here specifically for the Lady Boss to boil her bathwater. The Lady Boss followed him inside, then glared at the busy Miao Yi and warned, "If you dare to play tricks again, don't blame me for being rude!" She flicked her sleeves and left.
"Take care, Lady Boss!" Miao Yi cursed behind her back as he flattered her. When he turned around, he really wanted to add something to the boiling bathwater. However, with the Lady Boss's unpredictable actions, he felt a little guilty as he looked around. In the end, he touched his storage ring and didn't dare to make a move.
Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun were still standing outside obediently. Miao Yi returned with two buckets of water. The buckets never left his hand. He walked to the closed door and knocked on it with the tip of his foot.
The bolt on the door opened, and Miao Yi entered with the buckets. The Lady Boss followed him out.
"Lady Boss, what do you think of them? They're definitely efficient. "Miao Yi pointed at Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun and praised them.
The Lady Boss circled the two of them twice and sized them up. "You two also came out of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade?"
"Yes, Lady Boss!" The two of them replied respectfully.
The Lady Boss furrowed her brows slightly and looked at Miao Yi again. She felt that he didn't look like one. First of all, she couldn't see the heroic aura that Miao Yi exuded. There was also that reserved calmness. Otherwise, no ordinary person would dare to sit together with her, drinking and chatting so calmly. This meant that Miao Yi was someone who had seen a lot of things.
In other words, Miao Yi didn't look like a waiter even when he was wearing the waiter's clothes. If one wasn't used to it, they would only find it hilarious. However, if these two were to wear the waiter's clothes, they would truly look like a waiter. They didn't look like people who had seen a lot of things.
"Tell us where you came from. This store doesn't hire people with unknown backgrounds. If you try to hide anything, you will bear the consequences when I find out," the Lady Boss said coldly.
The two of them nervously told her where they came from.
When she heard that Pi Junzi's surname was' Pi 'and that he was a rat spirit, the Lady Boss suddenly frowned and said, "I heard that a long time ago, there was a Yao Emperor who was also a rat spirit. His name was Pi Taichong, and he was one of the top experts in the cultivation realm at that time. Are you related to him?"
Pi Junzi cupped his fists and replied, "I won't hide it from you, Lady Boss. I heard from my father that he was my ancestor. However, it was too long ago, and I don't have any proof, so I can't confirm it."
'Oh!' Miao Yi looked at Pi Junzi in surprise. He didn't think that this guy might have a Yao Emperor ancestor.
The Lady Boss nodded and said, "Let's try them out first. If they're suitable, we'll keep them. Niu Er, take them away and let the Innkeeper make the necessary arrangements. "
"Thank you, Lady Boss." The three of them thanked her in unison.
The Lady Boss waved her hand to dismiss them, then went into the room to take a bath!
Miao Yi handed the two of them over to the scholar downstairs. The scholar then sent Pi Junzi to the kitchen to help out, while Tao Yongchun remained in the main hall. After changing into a new set of clothes, the Tempest Tavern now had two more servants.
After settling the two of them down, Miao Yi had done his part as a friend. Not long after he returned to his room, the sound of stomping feet came from above again.
Having done that last night, Miao Yi knew that the one upstairs had finished her bath and was asking him to clean up. Truth be told, even if the one upstairs didn't stomp her feet, Miao Yi would still know that the one upstairs had finished her bath. He could see it from below, so how could he not know?
The fragrant Lady Boss paced outside the room to freshen up the steam on her body. Miao Yi quickly tidied up his room and pricked his ears to listen for the footsteps outside. After confirming that the Lady Boss had moved away a little, he held the bathtub with both hands and suddenly invoked his transcendence energy.
'Crash!' The floor cracked open, and a large part of it collapsed. The items upstairs clattered as they fell into the storeroom below.
The Lady Boss was shocked. She quickly rushed to the door, only to see that her room had already become a trap. Miao Yi had already fallen back into his room, and was looking up at the Lady Boss with a bitter smile.
Such a huge commotion also startled the scholar, the cook, the carpenter, and the stonemason, and they quickly rushed upstairs. Purple lotuses bloomed on their foreheads, and a murderous aura emanated from them as they drew their weapons. Seeing that the Lady Boss was fine, and that she hadn't been ambushed as they had imagined, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
One by one, they entered the room and stood at the part of the building that hadn't completely collapsed. They stared down below and exclaimed, "What's going on?"
The Lady Boss's expression was as cold as ice. She was truly enraged as she glared down below and shouted, "If you don't want to do it, just say so. Why do you have to do this?!"
Miao Yi hurriedly stepped on the edge of the building that hadn't completely collapsed, and begged, "Lady Boss, I really didn't do it on purpose. I just used a little too much force when I was cleaning. I didn't expect the building to collapse." He took out a storage ring and presented it to her. "There are ten million Gold Crystals in here. Consider it my compensation for the Lady Boss's losses."
The daily necessities in the house weren't worth that much anyway. The important items were all in the Lady Boss's own storage ring. If this was really revenge, it would be a little unreasonable to use such a method. Ten million Gold Crystals was enough to refurbish over a thousand sets of the items in the house.
With such sincerity on display, not only did the scholar and the others believe Miao Yi's words, even the Lady Boss's expression softened a little. She reckoned that she might really have wronged this guy.
The Lady Boss scoffed and snatched the storage ring from Miao Yi's hand to examine it. When she realized that it really was ten million Gold Crystals, she didn't say anything else. She turned around and instructed, "Carpenter, hurry up and fix it."
The carpenter acknowledged. He couldn't help but crouch down to examine the cause of the collapse. After examining it, he asked curiously, "Where did the clay in the middle layer go?"
Miao Yi sighed. "Sigh! You should ask the Lady Boss about this. She knows best. "
'What's going on?' They immediately turned to look at the Lady Boss.
The Lady Boss found it hilarious when she thought about Miao Yi's condition when the sand fell like rain. However, she said with a straight face, "How would I know?"
Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He thought he had managed to keep the matter under wraps just like that, but who knew that the carpenter would suddenly ask, "I say, Niu Er. Don't tell me you secretly dug out the things in the compartment to peek at the Lady Boss from below?"
The cook nodded. "This brat isn't a good person. It's very possible. Lady Boss, you have to be careful."
The other two also sheathed their weapons and snickered. "It's possible."
They were just joking around because they didn't know what was going on. Miao Yi quickly stole a glance at the Lady Boss's reaction, feeling a little guilty. In the end, he saw the Lady Boss's expression suddenly change. He groaned inwardly, 'Carpenter, will you die if you don't say anything?!'
On the surface, he shouted, "I say, what nonsense are you guys talking about? It's fine if you guys ruin my reputation, but why do you have to ruin the Lady Boss's?"
Meanwhile, the Lady Boss's eyes flashed as she gritted her teeth.
If it wasn't for the carpenter's reminder, she wouldn't have thought about it at all. She thought that it had collapsed because the stuff in the middle layer was gone. Now that the carpenter mentioned it, she immediately realized that there was something strange about the collapse of the floor. It was very likely that Miao Yi had done it on purpose.
'Why did he want to collapse the floor for no reason? Why did he have to pay double the compensation so readily after he did it on purpose? He was obviously trying to hide something! '
