At this moment, everyone in the Liu family was in a panic, because their eldest son had been injured by villains yesterday, and before the Liu family could take revenge, the eldest son was killed again this morning.
"Get away! Don't touch me! Get a servant!" Liu Wei was so angry that he smashed the room into a mess. He woke up this morning to find that he felt pain all over his body whenever he touched a woman, as if he were being pricked with needles.
More than the physical pain, Liu Wei felt a greater sense of panic. Would he never be able to touch a woman again? What joy would he have left in this life?
Madam Liu was so angry that she slapped the maid, and said with heartache, "My child, don't worry, I will definitely find a miracle doctor to cure your illness. Also, I will never let that vile woman who bullied you yesterday get away with it."
Thinking of yesterday's ordeal, Liu Wei's mind cleared up for once. "No, no, Mother, I may have made a terrible mistake." Those two people were no ordinary people. He had suffered after offending them. Who else but that person could have such divine power?
"Wei'er, don't be afraid. Our Liu family is not to be trifled with. Anyone who dares to offend us in Huaixi City will not have a good outcome."
"Bang!" The door was kicked open, and Master Liu, his face full of anger, shouted, "You unfilial son! You've got some nerve, daring to make a fairy your concubine!"
When he learned that his good-for-nothing son had flirted with a celestial being, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. His father was still at the Celestial Inn; even if the celestial being was magnanimous and didn't hold it against him, he knew his father's character well. It seemed this rebellious son couldn't be allowed to live.
The Liu family was in a panic. The eldest branch of the family, which was originally in charge, suddenly became low-key for some reason, and the eldest son of the Liu family was nowhere to be seen.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
The return journey was long, and it was going to snow again today. An Ge was worried that Wu Ziyue and the others wouldn't be able to withstand it, so he bought several more carriages, and the group headed towards Cangshan in a grand procession.
An Gege held the thermos, still breathing out a breath of cold air, "I wonder if the Liu family's matter is being handled in time, otherwise more women will suffer."
Hu Jiu's expression faltered for a moment. He had secretly taught Liu Wei a lesson yesterday, and presumably that man wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble. "Don't worry, Huai Xi City is guarded by the army. The powerful families can't cause any trouble."
"It's snowing! Hu Jiu, it's snowing!" An Ge exclaimed happily; this was the first time she had ever seen snow.
"You didn't eat much at noon, and there's still a distance to go back. Eat something first." The food had been in the space all along, and it was still warm when taken out.
"I'm starving. Oh? This is Chef Wei's cooking! I've been craving it. Hu Jiu, you're so thoughtful."
Hu Jiu curled the corners of his mouth and quickened his pace to catch the carriage.
The group finally returned to the inn before sunset. An Ge felt the warmth of the lobby and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Ziyue and the others were extremely nervous, not daring to look around, only staring at the floor where their reflections were visible. Seeing their restraint, An Ge reassured them, "The staff dormitory at the inn is full. You can rest in a nearby village. I'll have someone put in a word with the village chief. We'll talk about the rest after you've settled in."
Everyone agreed, and after hearing a few more instructions from An Ge, they all left.
Once they stepped out of the inn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although An Ge was very kind, they still didn't dare to act presumptuously.
"As expected of a land of immortals, did you notice that door just now? It can actually rotate, and it's transparent."
"The floor is even clearer than a mirror."
"I just peeked up and saw such a huge luminous pearl and a huge water curtain. It's amazing."
"You're too bold, I don't even dare to look up."
"Me too, me too. Will we really be able to perform here in the future? The manager said that people who make a living through their talents are not inferior to others, but I'm still a little scared."
"What's there to be afraid of? The store manager has already said so, why should we care about what other people think?"
As Wu Ziyue listened to everyone's chatter, she turned around and glanced at the inn, a relaxed smile appearing on her face.
That's wonderful!
Inside the inn, An Ge was about to say goodbye to Hu Jiu when she heard Lu Yan's cheeky voice: "Yo, you two finally decided to come back! How was it? Did you have fun? Why don't you take me with you next time?"
Hu Jiu looked at Lu Yan with a dangerous gaze.
Lu Yan swallowed nervously, continuing his reckless behavior despite Hu Jiu's pressure: "It was my oversight. What would I do if you two, a young couple, went together?"
An Ge sneered and spoke before Hu Jiu could say anything: "Don't worry, it's fine if you come along as a third wheel. My man and I don't need to hide anything, and it's not us who'll be embarrassed. As long as you're not afraid of being seen as a couple, it's fine. Judging from your expression, are you in heat? Do demons go into heat too?"
Seeing Lu Yan pointing at his trembling hand, An Ge pressed on, "Hu Jiu, you should take care of your good brother. If you find someone suitable, don't forget to introduce him to someone. Look how anxious the kid is, his face is all red."
After saying that, An Ge shook her head with a look of pity, and without waiting for the two people's reactions, turned and left.
You little brat, you want to see her make a fool of herself?
Lu Yan looked at Hu Jiu with suspicion and said, "This... she doesn't act like a woman at all. Hu Jiu, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Hu Jiu was still savoring An Ge's words about "my man" when he heard Lu Yan's question. He glared at him and said, "I like my woman no matter what she's like. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tie you up and take you to General Hu's mansion to be his son-in-law when we get back to the demon clan."
Thinking of An Ge's words, Hu Jiu grinned like a lecherous fool, a grin that gave Lu Yan goosebumps. It was terrifying; he still preferred Hu Jiu's cunning smile. If he continued down this pathetic path, Hu Jiu would definitely keep his word, and he didn't want to be that tigress's man.
Lu Yan didn't know what "dog food" meant, but seeing the two of them like this, he seemed to understand what it meant, and then he became even more depressed.
Back in her room, An Ge lay down on the sofa and let out a comfortable sigh of relief.
"777, when will the reputation shop be updated?" Since the last exchange, the reputation shop hasn't had any new items. An Ge couldn't help but ask, looking at the large amount of reputation points.
"The new items should be available around the next time the inn is upgraded. Keep up the good work, host. At this rate, we should be able to upgrade this month."
An Ge suddenly remembered what Rong Zhuo had said, narrowed her eyes and asked, "Will the appearance of the inn bring any changes to the spiritual energy of this plane?"
"I don't know the specifics very well either. Normally, this is just a low-level plane. It would be extremely difficult to upgrade to a mid-level plane. But it's not absolute. If the host has a great influence on this world, it's possible to change the plane's level."
"So, does this mean there will be cultivators here in the future?"
"Of course not. Dimensional upgrades take at least thousands of years. Right now, at most, the spiritual energy will change somewhat, but perhaps the changes will be more noticeable during the next upgrade."
An Ge understood; as long as the changes she had brought to the world weren't bad, that was good. Rong Zhuo had been gone for several days; she wondered how he was doing now.
