Beautiful, so beautiful!

No, she has to negotiate a higher price with the God, otherwise she'll lose a fortune.

"Young Lady Qi, is this the other young lady you mentioned last night?"

Qi is a surname that Luo Xi made up on the spot.

Luo Xi nodded: "Yes, her surname is Li. She doesn't like to talk. You can ask me if you have any questions."

She winked at Jiu Xian subtly, signaling him to be quiet.

The proprietress asked suspiciously, "This... it can still talk, right?"

If he turns out to be mute, she won't be able to explain it.

"Are you leaving or not?" Jiuxian asked in a low voice, starting to sound impatient.

Good heavens, that voice is awful. The boss finally understands why he said she doesn't like to talk. It's good that she doesn't like to talk.

"Young lady, you'd better speak less, speak less."

It's valuable when it doesn't open its mouth, but its value drops as soon as it does.

Rosie turned her head to the side, concealing the smile on her lips: "Don't worry, we know what's important."

The proprietress then summoned the sedan chair and urged Luo Xi and the others to get on quickly.

The road was quite deserted at first, but the closer we got to Shenxianju, the more people there were, mostly young women, all dressed up in their finest attire, some walking, some riding in sedan chairs, and some in oxcarts.

Judging from their discussion, they must all be going to participate in the selection of some kind of Holy Maiden.

The proprietress glanced at Luo Xi sideways: "I wasn't lying to you, was I? There are plenty of people who want to be the Holy Maiden. If no one recommends you, there will be a lot of trouble."

Luo Xi's expression remained unchanged as he promised, "Don't worry, as long as it works out, you'll get twenty-two taels of silver for both of you, you won't be shortchanged."

The proprietress immediately beamed with joy, showering him with flattery as if it were free.

When they arrived at the selection area, Luo Xi and the others did not queue up like the others. Instead, the proprietress led them through a small door at the back.

Loxi: "..."

Is this how the practice of getting things done through back channels came about?

They were greeted by a shrewd-looking young man who initially only glanced at the proprietress when she entered.

But when Luo Xi and Jiu Xian, who were walking behind the landlady, appeared, he suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Manager Ning from Jixiang Inn? You also have a daughter to recommend to the Divine Lord?"

The proprietress covered her mouth and laughed: "Look at what Manager Yang is saying. I don't have any daughter. These two are relatives from my maternal family. They have long admired the Divine Lord."

She pushed Luo Xi and Jiu Xian forward: "So, they came all this way just to see the God."

Rosie: "??"

How could she not know who she admires? This proprietress is quite the fabricator.
