"Huh?" Gu Liyan pointed at himself, looking at her incredulously. "You want me to boil water?"
"Of course! Xiao Lin is in charge of the accounts, and I'm in charge of cleaning up. I'm too busy to handle everything! You're the most idle person in the inn right now, so why don't you lend a hand?" Su Xian'er pulled Gu Liyan up, hung the kettle on his wrist, and urged, "Go quickly, boil the water and then make tea!"
Gu Liyan was speechless. I'm still injured! How could I do this? He was now filled with regret. Why did I have to be so impulsive and kill the waiter?
As Xiao Linzi was paying the bill, he couldn't help but smile as he watched Gu Liyan being bossed around by Su Xian'er: There's always someone better!
When no one came at night, Gu Liyan was finally able to rest. He was immediately sore and weak all over, feeling more tired than if he had been in a battle.
"Haha, Demon King, you've had a hard time!" Xiao Linzi said with a smile when he saw Gu Liyan's disheveled appearance.
Gu Liyan glared at him. "Why did you open an inn? You should have hired more waiters. It's exhausting!"
“Human strength is limitless, how come you can’t last even a day? Look, Miss Su is having a great time!” Xiao Linzi said, gesturing with his lips.
Gu Liyan followed his gaze and saw Su Xian'er's eyes shining brightly as she earns money for the day.
"You actually paid him wages?" Gu Liyan looked at Xiao Linzi in surprise.
"Of course!" Xiao Lin chuckled. "I always thought all rich girls were weak and frail, blushing even when they spoke. Who knew she was so different!"
Gu Liyan glared at him. "That's right! My woman is different!"
Xiao Linzi smiled wryly and patted Gu Liyan on the shoulder, "Then I hope you can protect her well!"
Gu Liyan smiled smugly, "My woman will naturally be protected in the most meticulous way!"
Suddenly, Gu Liyan remembered something. "Hey, you rascal, I almost forgot to ask where my wages are!"
"Huh? Shouldn't you give her her wages?" Xiao Linzi grinned mischievously.
Gu Liyan's lips twitched. This guy! He actually treated him like free labor!
Before Gu Liyan could get angry, Xiao Linzi suddenly stared at Gu Liyan with a surprised look. Gu Liyan was so frightened that she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Linzi licked his lips and said seriously, "Gu Liyan, didn't you feel that you weren't harmed by the Soul Burning Curse in your body all day today?"
Gu Liyan was taken aback. "Right, why didn't I have an attack today?"
Reflecting on his day, he realized he had not only eaten human food but had also served humanity for a day…
Suddenly it dawned on him: "Ah! Does that mean that as long as I act like a human, the Soul Burning Curse won't activate!"
Bo Yikao couldn't help but smile. "That's great! From now on, you can be the shopkeeper's assistant!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan's expression turned cold again: So this is why you kept me here?!
However, it still won't work. If Gu Liyan gives up using his demonic power, he will have no way to protect Su Xian'er!
Gu Liyan frowned as he watched Su Xian'er's retreating figure: It seems it's time to begin cultivating the Nine Dust Technique.
As night fell, Gu Liyan sat alone under a tree in front of the inn, gazing at the ancient tree that had stood for a thousand years, a plan to become stronger forming in his mind!
A slight smile played on his lips; he had made up his mind.
