Jiang Yuetong only realized after her rebirth that she was in a book world.
Recalling her fate as a cannon fodder villainess in her previous life, she felt unwilling to accept it.
She, ...
The speed was so fast that the shopkeeper covered his face in astonishment.
How dare you!
The shopkeeper glared at Jiang Yuetong, whose face was as cold as ice. He gathered spiritual power in his palm and was about to strike when he saw her calmly take out a black card from her bosom and place it on the table.
Upon recognizing the black card, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in astonishment, and his fierce expression instantly softened into a kind one.
He smiled, his face crinkling with wrinkles, and said in a fawning tone, "So it's Lord Lu's friend who's here. It's all my fault for being so rude and offending you distinguished guests unintentionally. I apologize to you."
After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped himself a few more times.
"To show our esteemed guests my sincerity, how about we offer them a 20% discount tonight?"
"In addition, I'll offer you a few extra services to ensure you have a comfortable stay these next two days and won't want to leave." The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow at them meaningfully.
Jiang Yuetong: "..."
She didn't want any services; she just wanted to know how many spirit stones Lu Shi'an had spent when he opened the black card at this inn.
Li Qingrong: "..."
Money really does make you king!
Upon seeing this black card, their attitude changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
"No need for service, here are the discounted spirit stones." Jiang Yuetong took out a storage bag from her spatial storage and placed it on the table, saying calmly, "Lead the way."
"Alright, alright." The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand.
A tall, thin man approached, bowed, and said in a very respectful tone, "Distinguished guests, please follow me."
Jiang Yuetong took back the black card and led Li Qingrong upstairs. Lu Jingliang watched their figures disappear around the corner without following them.
The shopkeeper asked with some confusion, "Distinguished guest, what brings you here...?"
Lu Jingliang remained silent, took out a purple-gold card, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it across with two fingers.
The shopkeeper's expression changed instantly.
"Master..." Before he could finish speaking, the shopkeeper immediately shut his mouth after catching a glimpse of Lü Jingliang's indifferent gaze.
He asked cautiously, "What can I do for you?"
Lu Jingliang reached out and took back the gold card, saying casually, "There are only two rooms left in this inn."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly understood.
Just then, Jiang Yuetong had barely sat down in her chair when there was a knock on the door.
Upon catching sight of a tall figure, Jiang Yuetong knew without guessing that it was Lü Jingliang. Her eyes flickered slightly: "I need to cultivate later, so don't disturb me."
Lu Jingliang, standing outside the door, glanced at the shopkeeper beside him.
The innkeeper chuckled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Um... my most honored guest, I'm really sorry, but the inn only has two rooms left today. I've come to return the extra spirit stones to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong got up to open the door.
Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, her tone carrying a warning: "That's not what you said just now."
The shopkeeper lowered his head somewhat guiltily, swallowed hard, and said, "I didn't look carefully just now and thought there were three more number plates."
Jiang Yuetong walked out silently.
He scanned the entire inn with his divine sense and found that all the rooms had numbered signs. His eyes darkened slightly: "Bring me the spirit stones."
The shopkeeper immediately handed over the storage bag in his hand.
Jiang Yuetong waved her hand and put the item into her spatial storage. Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper next to her turned around and ran downstairs without even looking up, moving so fast that he thought there were some demons or monsters behind him.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Without turning her head, Jiang Yuetong asked coldly, "Did you do this?"
How could Lü Jingliang dare to admit it?
