Chapter 23: Seeing Yisanmen Again
When she opened her eyes, a beautiful head was swaying above her.
Seeing her wake up, it jumped up and ran to the corner of the room, shouting, "It wasn't us who made you unconscious, it wasn't us!"
Yue Qiran ignored it and just rubbed his aching forehead. Demonic energy has a harmful effect on ordinary people, and low-level corpse demons cannot control it themselves, so there is no need to worry about it.
The proprietress probably heard the noise and pushed the door open.
When the corpse demon saw her, he hurriedly hid in the water tank. Finding that he could not squat down, he took off his lower body himself.
The proprietress looked at the lower body outside the water tank, quite speechless. She glanced at Yue Qiran apologetically, then walked over and said, "Alright, what's the point of hiding the upper body but not the lower half? Come out quickly."
The corpse demon stuck its head out and said in a rather pitiful voice: "Yu Niang, I didn't mean to come in, don't be angry."
"I've stressed this several times: you guys coming in would make the girl uncomfortable, and what happened? I think you did it knowingly."
"Yu Niang, I was wrong, please don't be angry."
Yue Qiran got goosebumps at the corpse demon's seemingly coquettish voice. Sure enough, as long as one lives long enough, they're bound to encounter anything.
The proprietress seemed to be very impressed by this and said, "Ask the girl. If she's not angry, then I won't be angry either."
The corpse demon's head turned 180 degrees and stared directly at Yue Qiran. If she was a little more timid, she would have fainted by now.
Yue Qiran smiled gently and said, "You are so cute, how could I be angry?"
How horrible! This girl wasn't like this last night!
The corpse demon jumped out of the tank and ran away holding his lower body.
The proprietress smiled helplessly and apologized on their behalf: "I'm really sorry, they hold a grudge, but they have absolutely no intention of harming anyone."
She smiled and said, "No need to apologize. I can see that although they are demons, their behavior is somewhat childish and they do not have the heart of a demon."
The proprietress's expression softened: "Yes, they are children."
If an ordinary person heard this, they would probably think that the proprietress was crazy, treating the corpse demon as a child.
Yue Qiran was different. She had seen too many strange people, and she was more puzzled by the abnormality of these corpse demons than the boss lady's attitude. However, this was obviously the boss lady's secret, so she couldn't ask too much.
Just then, the innkeeper brought in a bowl of soup. The proprietress said, "Miss, this is an exorcist soup. It's good for your health. I didn't think carefully about the passage - I thought you were an immortal cultivator."
Yue Qiran shook her head and said, "What are you talking about, Madam Boss? It's me who has implicated you. Besides, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive. I really don't know how to repay you."
"Miss, you are too kind. With your strength, it would not be difficult for you to escape from the brothel even if you hadn't met me."
The two of them exchanged polite words, and finally got to the point.
"This doesn't look like an inn." Yue Qiran asked hesitantly.
The proprietress replied casually, "This is an inn in another town."
"That?"
"I burned down the inn over there, and now everyone thinks we died in there. As for Miss Honglian, she ran away with her lover."
Yue Qiran looked over in surprise and frowned. The proprietress knew what she was thinking and smiled, "Young lady, don't blame yourself. That inn is a shackle for me, and I just don't have the opportunity to leave. This time, I just went with the flow."
Shackles? Could someone be watching her? Yue Qiran swallowed this question and said seriously: "No matter what, I owe you a favor."
The proprietress laughed heartily, looking like an ordinary woman: "Consider this as my repayment to Mr. Han."
"I have nothing to do with Mr. Han."
She smiled playfully and said, "He'd be happy for you to owe him a favor."
Yue Qiran was speechless. She felt that Han Yueshan would be happy with any pretty girl.
The proprietress's expression turned serious. "By the way, I've already sent someone to inform the Yisan Sect. They'll be arriving here soon. I hope you'll keep it a secret for me. To everyone, including the Yisan Sect, I'm already a dead man."
She was stunned for a moment, but after thinking it over, this seemed to be the best solution. Since she couldn't enter the No Man's Land anymore, she might as well stay at the Yisan Gate for a few days and see if there was any movement at the South Wing Gate. She nodded.
"Thank you, young lady. See you again in the future."
"See you again if we're lucky."
The proprietress immediately took her people away, leaving only an inn waiter to handle the rest of the matter.
Two days later, a group of people from Yisanmen arrived here in a hurry.
Seeing them coming, before Yue Qiran could say a word, the inn waiter rushed over and hugged Han Yueshan, crying: "Master Han, our boss's wife died so tragically! Na He's mother was so cruel!"
...She seemed to know what the corpse demon's temperament was like.
Yue Qiran watched the inn's waiter crying and telling him how He Mama burned the inn in anger, how the proprietress was so determined and unyielding that she lived and died with the inn, and how he tried his best to rescue her from the inn.
Finally, he concluded with one sentence: "I only regret that I don't have the ability to save the boss lady."
Han Yueshan gritted his teeth and said, "This isn't your fault. It's that He Mama who went too far. Not only did she force a decent girl into prostitution, she even dared to set fire to the inn. She's truly lawless!"
Xi Jing sighed and whispered, "There's a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection behind him, what can we do?"
Her senior brother spoke seriously for the first time: "I, Han Yueshan, will one day eliminate Mother He and the people behind her, and avenge Yu Niang!"
Zhao Xue looked around and happened to see Yue Qiran, who was silent with her head down. He sighed and said, "Miss, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. If we had stayed a few more days, perhaps this would not have happened."
She shook her head, her eyes slightly red as she spoke: "No, this is my fault. If it weren't for me, the boss lady wouldn't have lost her life."
Han Yueshan looked at the beautiful woman, who was about to cry, and could not help but take a few steps forward. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and said distressedly, "Girl, don't take the blame for what the bad guys did. It's not worth it."
No matter what, beauty is right!
Yue Qiran looked at the handkerchief and was about to take it when he found that there were words embroidered on it. It seemed to be the word "red"? He also noticed it and hurriedly put the handkerchief back and took out another one. This time it was embroidered with the word "pity".
After several rounds of conversation, everyone remained silent.
Xi Jing came out and said thoughtfully, "Sister, what good is it to use my stinky man's handkerchief?"
"No need."
Yue Qi's eyes were red as she shook her head and refused. She could no longer cry.
