Castle in the Sky: Husband of the Castle Master 2
Chu Li sighed, and the shop owner in the house opened the wooden door of the Three Lines Inn and slightly stepped aside to let them in.
She took a look, then reached out to support You Chengze, waved to the furry thing at her feet, and walked closer.
As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Chu Li felt a golden light piercing her eyes, and she could not help but raise her hand to cover her eyes.
After getting used to it a little, he opened his eyes and looked.
The furnishings inside these three-line inns are in stark contrast to the bleak and dilapidated exterior.
The sandalwood tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the finest glass cups are placed on the table, and the aroma of long-brewed wine wafts in the air.
Chu Li couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then sighed in his heart at the strength of the wine.
Not far away, in the center, a wall was covered in murals, primarily gold, with red and black accents. It depicted a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, and a phoenix with flapping wings. Under the natural light, the golden light reflected throughout the room, making it appear even more luxurious.
"Please follow me, distinguished guest." The inn owner did not explain the painting, nor did he explain why the inn was so luxurious. He curled his lips slightly towards Chu Li, then led the people straight upstairs.
If the downstairs is breathtaking, the upstairs is even more difficult to describe.
Each room is carved in gold, and the twelve zodiac animals are placed between the beams and pillars.
Interestingly, Chu Li thought it was fake at first, until he reached out and touched it when the man wasn't paying attention, and then he found that the lion head was actually made of real gold.
The changes between indoors and outdoors are so great that it is hard not to arouse suspicion!
"How about these two rooms?"
Chu Li came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Sure, you can arrange it."
The shop owner nodded slightly in response.
After a while, Chu Li felt a little hungry, so he called out to the shop owner who was about to go downstairs: "Could you please bring some of our signature dishes to the room on the left? I'm really tired from traveling so I'd like to have a good meal and rest."
"Of course, please wait a moment, distinguished guests." After saying that, he went downstairs.
As soon as the shop owner left, Chu Li opened the door, supported You Chengze, and slowly sat down at the sandalwood table.
Chu Li poured a glass of water with familiarity, first taking a sip for himself and then quenching the thirst of a few furry creatures. After a while, when the patient You Chengze realized what was happening, Chu Li slowly poured another glass and moved it in front of him.
"How are you?"
“…Nothing.”
Chu Li was skeptical: "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me and I'll let the little puppet treat you again."
"Um."
You Chengze was a quiet person, and Chu Li couldn't exchange many words with him. If it were when they first met, she might have kept her mouth shut, but now, having experienced several life-or-death situations, she rarely found a touch of leisure and ease in such a cold and aloof man.
She took off her bag and sat down on a nearby chair without much ceremony, saying to herself, "Did you see the mural when you came in just now?"
"Golden Dragon and Phoenix Picture." The man said concisely.
"It seems this inn is quite wealthy." Chu Li smiled, then his expression suddenly became sharp. "But isn't the difference a bit too big? There are few people outside, but it's luxurious inside. What's more problematic is, how can such a good hotel be opened in such a remote place? This is a pure loss-making business."
After Chu Li finished speaking, the man in front of him stood up.
Just as she was wondering, she saw You Chengze walking towards the window. He stretched out his hand to open the window, and the next moment, a burst of shouting came from outside the hotel.
Chu Li frowned and followed the man. She took a look and saw that the doors that had not been answered when she knocked for a long time were now all open, and there were even more people on the street.
"Magic tricks?!"
Chu Li sighed, and You Chengze beside him made a slightly disgusted sound.
"You Chengze, you are laughing at me!"
Chu Li gave him an angry look.
Unexpectedly, the man didn't give any further explanation. He closed the window, turned his back and sat back in his seat.
Chu Li stared at the man's back for a long time, then continued, "After all, I am the one who helped you and Mao Rongrong collect so many seals. How dare you laugh at me? Don't forget, you are my little brother now. Without me, you will die!"
As soon as the words fell, the air fell into a brief silence.
You Chengze looked at Chu Li with a half-smile. The moment their eyes met, Chu Li thought that this man would definitely try every possible way to fight back, or remain silent as usual.
But she never expected that the next moment, the man pinched the water she had just handed over, took a sip, and then curved his thin lips slightly and said, "Well, Boss, I'm hungry. Can you go down and see what lunch is for me?"
Tsk.
You Chengze! Where's your backbone?
Where's the backbone you had to fight me before? How could you lose it just because of eating?
Chu Li glared at him, then turned around and went downstairs to find the shop owner.
It must be said that if the man hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have known that she was so hungry at the moment.
When it comes to eating, everything else has to be put aside. She was too lazy to argue with You Chengze and quickened her pace.
"boss!"
"boss……"
Chu Li shouted several times downstairs, but no one answered.
She was a little puzzled and searched room after room downstairs, but still couldn't find the shop owner who had just led them in.
This damn shop owner, if he leaves his post without permission in modern times, he would have his salary deducted and pay a fine. How could he not understand such a simple principle that consumers are the priority!
Chu Li had just finished complaining when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from upstairs.
The wooden product fell to the ground with a dull sound, shaking the wooden board above Chu Li's head.
Then, there was a furry, panicked voice.
Damn it, something bad happened!
Chu Li felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her, and she instantly woke up. She ran upstairs, until she entered the room on the left, she was completely stunned.
Not far away, a large piece of the wall of the Three Lines Inn was missing, and the window that had been intact just a moment ago was broken by something and was hanging on one side.
No one knew where You Chengze had gone in the house, and only the raven and the little fox were knocked to the ground.
Chu Li's heart paused, and he immediately stepped forward and held the two furry cubs in his arms.
The next moment, the little fox stretched out its claws and tugged at Chu Li's clothes for a while, then pointed to the broken wall.
Chu Li walked forward and saw a huge black bird flapping its wings intermittently in the horizon not far away.
On top of the big bird stood several shirtless men, the sunlight reflecting on their chests making them look particularly strong.
Looking more closely, I saw that the man in the middle had a white scarf around his neck and was carrying a man tied up with hemp ropes on his shoulders.
Facing the light, Chu Li recognized the man as You Chengze, and her pupils narrowed slightly. Looking down, she saw that the fate of her remaining furry friends was being held by these men.
!!
Not only did she steal my man, she also stole my spirit pet. This is outrageous!
Chu Li was very angry. He hugged the two furry animals tightly and quickly went downstairs.
Walking to a relatively open place, Chu Li looked up again.
Several men in the sky seemed to know what was going on over there, and they looked over there. The next moment, Chu Li saw the big bird proudly circling several times out of her reach.
Then, the man standing at the edge stretched out his hands holding the lop-eared rabbit's ears towards her.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!
Chu Li couldn't hold back any longer, so he touched the raven's head and was about to make it grow bigger immediately so that it could catch up with the big bird and the group of provocative men.
Just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, a force suddenly appeared in his hand.
"what are you up to?"
Chu Li was stunned.
She felt a dirty hand on her arm. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a child less than ten years old, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes standing in front of her.
The little beggar's eyes were bright and sparkling, and he stared at Chu Li's face with curiosity.
Chu Li has something important to do at the moment, so he is too distracted to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
She was about to refuse, but the child spoke first and guessed what she was thinking.
"Are you going to chase that big bird?"
"...Yes." Since she already knew his intention, she didn't want to delay her rescue time any longer. She glanced at the big bird that had not gone far away, and made up her mind to break free from the little beggar's hand.
However, what shocked Chu Li was that the more she struggled, the tighter the little beggar's hand gripped her.
What the hell is this? It makes her so anxious. It has to hold her back, but she can't beat or scold this kid!
"Let me go quickly, I have to catch up with them, there is no time to lose!" The good-tempered Chu Li was completely anxious, she wanted to break free and save people.
"Girls, you can't go into the city."
Why can't girls enter the city? Where can they enter and where can they enter from?
Why are all the people in this town so weird?
"What do you mean?" Chu Li frowned. "What do you mean girls can't enter the city? What city is it? The City in the Sky? Do you know its exact location?"
Chu Li said a lot of things in a row. She was waiting for the little beggar's next words with hope in her eyes, but she didn't expect that this child was more patient than You Chengze.
He held Chu Li's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, nor willing to tell Chu Li the relevant information.
"What on earth are you doing? Human life is at stake. Why are you holding me and not letting me go? How can a child be so unreasonable!" Chu Li scolded in a low voice, and struggled a little more.
hiss--
It hurts!
This little brat's grip was too strong. She felt like her wrist was about to be broken.
"Is that person important to you?"
The little beggar finally spoke.
You Chengze? Of course.
Chu Li nodded.
"I can help you save him."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, looked at the little brat for a long time, and asked, "Tell me, what's the method?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the child fell silent again.
He cast several timid glances at Chu Li, his every frown and frown showing his uneasiness.
Chu Li frowned again and said, "Hurry up and tell me, don't delay the opportunity to save people!"
"Before you save him, you have to agree to one condition of mine." The little beggar paused and continued, "As long as you can fill my stomach, I will tell you."
