"Huh? No, no!"
"So what brings you here...?"
Although Yu Ling is now using the original owner's female body, she is more than half a head taller than this young lady. Moreover, she has been catching demons for many years, and the faint aura emanating from her body is very intimidating. She stunned this young lady at first glance, making her forget why she came here.
The young lady's inner thoughts: Although I'm a little scared, this lady is so cool!!!
Realizing their young lady wasn't performing well, it was the coachman behind them who spoke first:
“Miss, excuse me. The truth is... my young lady has never traveled far from home before, and she's quite delicate. Unfortunately, all the top-tier rooms at this inn are full, so she was thinking of switching rooms with you. Please consider it; my young lady will surely reward you handsomely.”
The driver spoke incredibly fast towards the end, showing a hint of rap potential.
"You mean... you want to stay in my room?" Yu Ling asked.
Tsk tsk, look at this girl, fair-skinned and beautiful, petite and charming, holding a bag of money in her hand, she seems to have a good attitude and is not uncommunicative.
So, she........
reject.
I'm not short of money, so why should I give in to her just because she's being delicate?
"I see. But I'm sorry, I'm quite comfortable here, I won't change!" Yu Ling said.
She was about to close the door when the young lady stopped her.
"etc!"
Yu Ling had no choice but to stop again, look at the girl who didn't seem very bright, and ask, "What's wrong?"
"Um, may I ask your name, sister...?"
After saying that, she felt embarrassed and quickly followed up with a self-introduction.
"My name is Qin Yueting, and I have a cousin. Oh, this room is fine for you, sister. I'll cover the room fee. I just wanted to... make friends with you!"
Qin Yueting is wealthy and powerful; her family is in business, and money is never a problem for her! She doesn't care about the second-tier company; she doesn't want to offend such an impressive-looking older sister over such a trivial matter.
[Wow~ Host, this woman actually tried to throw money at you! We have backbone, we won't take it!]
Yu Ling: No, I want it.
Why wouldn't you take money that's free?
"You're paying for the room? Well... we can talk about it. Come on in." Yu Ling stepped aside to let the two of them into the house.
The Class A rooms are all large suites, with private rooms for entertaining guests, dining, washing up, and sleeping. These rooms are all separated, and the beds are larger and softer. There are also small tatami mats outside the bedrooms for people to rest.
Moreover, this world allows daughters to appear in public, just as the original owner's female body could also become a celestial master. The strict separation between men and women is relatively lenient.
Therefore, it is not considered impolite to let the coachman, a foreign man, in, and for the two women and one man to sit together at the outermost table for guests.
"Miss Qin, my name is Du Shuangyu. Judging from my attire, you should be able to guess what I do, so I won't explain further."
Yu Ling was unusually amiable towards this newly minted sucker, and said,
"However, the capital is not a good place at this time. Since you're not staying here long, listen to my advice and you'd better leave as soon as possible."
It's best to give a heads-up to people you've crossed paths with, to avoid being held responsible for any problems that arise. Once this is said, if she stays, it won't be your problem anymore.
"Hello, Sister Du. Actually, I didn't want to come here either. After all, in this huge capital city, I don't know a single person. And, I...blah blah blah...blah blah blah...sigh, thinking about it carefully, I really feel a bit helpless."
And... actually, I came to Beijing to find my brother. He lost contact with me from here three months ago.
Qin Yueting clearly lacked social experience and was quite naive. She kept talking and talking until she revealed all her family's secrets, her chatter was comparable to that of the system.
Yu Ling didn't even have time to say a word; she was listening to the stand-up comedy the whole time.
[Hahahaha, host, I suspect that even if she encountered a human trafficker instead of you, she would run off with them without hesitation.] The system mocked mercilessly, observing the other party's behavior.
Yu Ling: "I feel the same way." This person has grown up without any trouble, and we should thank her for being so lucky that she has never encountered any bad people.
"Ahem, Miss, although this is the Celestial Master, a reliable person, you've really said a bit too much," the coachman whispered in Qin Yueting's ear.
"Ah? Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, Sister Du, I misspoke. You must be very busy, I'm so sorry to have taken up your time." Qin Yueting then realized that Yu Ling seemed to be stunned, and she was so shy that her face turned red.
"It's alright, but you just said... your brother went missing in Beijing?"
Yu Ling was clearly more interested in this statement. She had a feeling that the strangeness the spirit deer mentioned was definitely related to this, but in order to continue probing, she followed the topic and asked further questions.
"That shouldn't be the case. The capital city has the best public security. Or perhaps your brother has made enemies with someone in the capital?"
"How could that be? Sister Du, you don't know this, my brother is also a demon hunter. Everyone respects him, how could he make enemies?"
We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and this time he's been gone for three months without a word. I'm so worried about him..."
Is this girl another love-struck fool? With her brother? Her lover?
"Excuse my bluntness, but are Miss Qin and your brother not related by blood?" Yu Ling asked directly.
"How did you know, sister?" Qin Yueting never expected that her attitude had given her away. Her shocked expression was genuine. She said, "Brother is actually the apprentice of the demon-catching master that my family hired. He was adopted by my father, which is why we call each other brother and sister."
Siblings without blood ties, childhood sweethearts—given the dramatic plot twists, I don't believe there's nothing more to it between you two! Yu Ling immediately shipped the two as a couple.
However, there was something fishy about this matter, and she was considering using it as a way to gain entry into the capital. But they had only just met, so there was no need to rush things. She should spend a couple more days enjoying herself and getting to know them better before making any moves.
(Of course, the main point is to have a couple more days of fun.)
"Miss Qin, please don't worry, your brother will be fine. I wish you a safe trip. Alright, you can stay here, I'll go down and get another room."
As Yu Ling got up, she didn't forget to take the bag of silver that Qin Yueting had given her.
