"Didn't you see the guests have already left?"

"Hurry up and clean up the table."

Mai Su'er spoke in an ordering tone, and the three of them showed no sign of anger. Instead, they nodded and bowed and quickly grabbed rags to clean the table.

The meteor hammer at the skinny man's waist swayed from side to side as he moved.

"Skinny monkey, don't you have any backbone?!"

Following the skinny man's gaze downwards, the skinny monkey stuffed the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, his mouth stretched into an "O" shape.

She was staring at the skinny man who was speaking with those innocent and pitiful eyes.

It is said that the reason why the skinny monkey was underdeveloped was because his family suffered a famine when he was young. The big man who is almost thirty years old looks like a five or six-year-old child.

That's why he's much more agile than the two of them when it comes to fighting.

Because of the hunger I suffered in the past, even though I am well-fed and warmly clothed now, I can't help but wolf down food whenever I see it.

He took a sip of water and swallowed the steamed bun along with the bread: "Waste is shameful!"

As the store grew increasingly crowded, the fat man groaned helplessly, "Where's the boss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's languid voice drifted down from upstairs: "Fatty, you've been itching for a temper again after just a few days."

Looking towards the source of the sound, a woman wearing a red gauze dress adorned with beads was leaning against a pillar on the second floor.

The fiery red gauze dress added a touch of brightness to the vast expanse of yellow earth, hugging her exquisitely curvaceous figure.

Although her face couldn't be seen, her large, bright, expressive eyes alone told that the woman beneath the veil must be quite beautiful.

My original name was Qiu Kui, but in order to hide my identity and escape being hunted down, I became the owner of this Spring Breeze Ten Miles Inn and changed my name to Qiu Niang.

I remember that after parting ways with Aunt Song, we slowly sailed south in our small boat.

"Brother Yu, I didn't know you could row a boat?"

Seeing my admiring praise, Yu Shaoqing smiled smugly: "Of course, when you go out into the world, you naturally need to have some skills to rely on."

Hearing his words, I realized that although I didn't know why I had been transported here, I should accept God's arrangement with equanimity.

It would be nice to treat this as a trip.

Just then, ripples spread across the water, and a strange movement occurred beneath the boat.

Yu Shaoqing gestured to me with his eyes not to move, and I nodded and obediently sat in place.

He pulled a dark object from his pocket, his eyes sharp, and threw it into the water. With a loud "bang!", water splashed several meters high.

With a loud bang and several screams, several men in black jumped from underwater onto the boat.

Once the water calmed down, a corpse was lying not far away.

I was so scared that I quickly covered my mouth. Is it possible to commit murder here without incurring criminal charges?

Yu Shaoqing noticed my panic and fear, and comforted me by wrapping his warm hand around mine, saying, "Don't be afraid, it's alright!"

The fear in her eyes subsided, and she nodded in belief.

The men in black, without explaining their purpose, simply swung their gleaming silver swords at me, uttering a heartless phrase: "Go to hell!"

Yu Shaoqing pulled my hand to the left and kicked the man in black off the boat.

It seems their martial arts skills are not as high as Yu Shaoqing's, but carrying me, this burden, is a bit restrictive.

While they were fighting, I slipped out of his hand and scurried into a corner by myself.

I took out something I had prepared beforehand from the handkerchief, and, judging the wind direction, shouted loudly, "Brother Yu, get out of the way!"

He lightly touched the water's surface with his toes and leaped nimbly.

Taking advantage of the wind, I sprinkled all the powder wrapped in the oil paper onto the man in black.

A scream was heard, and the men in black threw their knives to the ground, knelt down, covered their faces, and rolled around in pain.

Immediately afterwards, two or three voices exclaimed, "I can't see!"

Seeing this, I patted my bottom and sat down on the wooden chair, leisurely resting my chin on my hand, and asked, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

Those men in black were very professional; they would rather die than speak.

I changed my posture and said slowly, "You have been poisoned by my Soul-Severing Technique. Your eyes will sting and itch, and then they will fester and go blind. The poison will slowly spread to your face and even your body."

"This poison won't kill you quickly; it will slowly torment you, eventually causing festering sores and death."

Seemingly due to psychological factors, one of them touched his face and shouted, "Brother, my face is ruined!!!"

The others couldn't see his face, but they were terrified just by hearing his voice.

The man crawled to my feet, his voice trembling as he said, "I have elderly parents and young children to support, please have mercy and let me go!"

I'm not afraid of what he might do to me at this moment, because when people are afraid, they subconsciously forget that they will fight back.

Her red lips parted slightly, and a melodious voice drifted out, carrying a hint of languor and casualness.

"Letting you go is not out of the question!"

After I said that, the others also perked up their ears to listen to what I was about to say.

"Tell me when you started following us?"

“From the moment Ling Ran, the guard, arrived here.”

Upon hearing this name, Yu Shaoqing's heart tightened, as if he were afraid that I would find out.

But a familiar feeling rose in my heart, as if I had known him for a long time.

Ling Ran? His name is Ling Ran, and he's a guard.

"Are you in cahoots with him?"

"no!"

"Then what is your purpose in coming here?"

As the weather gradually warmed up, the men in black trembled uncontrollably, their teeth chattering and chattering as if they were fighting.
