Di Anyu was still watching Mu Tiantian's back when he saw that she reacted to the voice of the flower fairy in the gourd, and he understood.
Seeing his senior brother still spinning the gourd, Wan Mingyu asked curiously, "Senior brother, why are you still shaking the gourd?"
Upon hearing the sound, Di Anyu turned around twice more, ignoring the flower demon's cursing, and put it away.
Wan Mingyu glanced at Mu Tiantian and said to him, "Senior brother, why don't we redeem her? If I find out these women are..."
He lowered his voice, "Those who do that kind of business, I absolutely refused to bring her here last night. No wonder the waiter had red lanterns hanging up last night, and those women dressed provocatively went to the third floor, so that's why..."
He didn't continue the conversation but asked, "Senior brother, do you know Miss Mu Mu?"
"Want to know?" Di Anyu asked casually.
Wan Mingyu nodded.
Di Anyu gestured with his chin toward Mu Tiantian and said, "Then go ask her, and see if she's willing to let you redeem her."
Upon hearing this, Wan Mingyu immediately walked towards Mu Tiantian's direction.
At this moment, Fang Ru came over to pour tea for Di Anyu, gave him a flirtatious wink, and said sweetly, "Please have some tea, young master."
Di Anyu didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, a stark contrast to his attitude towards Mu Tiantian earlier.
Fang Ru felt even more jealous and resentful towards Mu Tiantian.
She glared in Mu Tiantian's direction.
A handsome young man was standing in front of Mu Tiantian, saying something.
She walked angrily to other tables, and Zhao Yun'er came over and said to Fang Ru with an envious look, "Miss Mu Mu is really smart, skillful, dances well, and is so pretty. I guess Miss Mu Mu will be the lead dancer next time. Sister Ru, do you think she will steal our customers?"
After asking that question, Zhao Yun'er smiled and left.
Fang Ru stood there, recalling what she had said.
No, she couldn't let her customer be taken away.
At that moment, Mu Tiantian heard Fang Ru and Zhao Yun'er talking in the noisy environment.
Zhao Yun'er's words were clearly meant to provoke Fang Ru.
Mu Tiantian thought she was a kind-hearted and good-tempered woman, but she never expected her to have such thoughts.
Wan Mingyu whispered the situation of the restaurant to Mu Tiantian, saying that he wanted to take her away and asked if she was willing.
He thought that she must be willing, desperately trying to escape the fate of being sold into a brothel, so how could she possibly survive in this restaurant?
Mu Tiantian had no choice but to pretend not to believe what he said.
Wan Tong noticed the situation and quickly came over to send Wan Mingyu away so she could go about her business.
Wan Mingyu opened his mouth to call out to Mu Tiantian, but Wan Tong stopped him, saying, "Young master, if you want Miss Mu to dance for you, it will cost ten taels of silver."
"I want to redeem her."
Wan Tong chuckled and said directly, "If you want to redeem her, you can either pay ten thousand taels of gold or wait ten or eight years before coming back."
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the authorities for doing this kind of business?" Wan Mingyu said indignantly, feeling increasingly regretful and guilty.
“Of course you can go, young master.” Wan Tong was naturally not afraid.
Seeing how confident she was, Wan Mingyu felt a little uneasy.
He returned to his seat, holding back his anger, and whispered to Di Anyu, "Senior brother, how about we... senior brother?"
Seeing that Di Anyu was ignoring him, he followed his gaze and saw that the young lady Mu Mu was pouring tea for other guests.
Wan Mingyu had never seen his senior brother so interested in a woman before.
He inadvertently glanced at Mu Tiantian's fair nape and discovered that the Buddhist prayer beads around her neck were gone.
It seems that her Buddhist prayer beads disappeared last night when she went upstairs with the shopkeeper. No wonder he felt something was wrong with her.
After Mu Tiantian finished pouring the tea, she noticed that Fang Ru had added a new pot of tea and was following behind her, her eyes filled with malice.
She noticed that Fang Ru had raised the kettle in her hand a little higher.
Fang Ru definitely wanted to throw boiling water on her.
She was ready to dodge.
The next moment, Fang Ru slipped, and the scalding kettle in her hand slipped out of her grasp.
However, Mu Tiantian did not hide.
Fang Ru didn't lunge forward, but instead leaned back and fell to the ground.
Splash—
"ah!"
A scream rang out the moment the boiling water was poured.
Fang Ru covered her face and lay on the ground in agony.
Di Anyu frowned slightly upon seeing this.
He had just noticed that the woman was trying to fake a fall and spill the teapot on Mu Tiantian, so he wanted to use his magic to make her suffer the consequences.
Unexpectedly, someone beat him to it.
He looked around; most of the people there were just there to watch the spectacle.
Meanwhile, outside one of the guest rooms on the second floor.
Juechen stood in the corridor, his eyes extremely sinister, looking at Fang Ru who was screaming in agony. His slightly moving lips closed, and then he stared at her bewitching profile with makeup on.
Mu Tiantian felt a strong gaze and turned around to look up.
He saw Juechen's bewitching eyes staring at him, and his heart suddenly raced.
Mu Tiantian: [Seventh Commander, Juechen's hatred value hasn't increased, has it?]
Seven Unifications: [No increase. An automatic announcement will be made if the hatred value changes.]
Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, but Juechen seemed to often stare at her with that penetrating gaze, which made her feel uneasy.
Qi Tong: [I've found out the general information about those two demon hunters. The younger one looks like he's named Wan Mingyu, one of the many sons of a wealthy merchant. His family doesn't really care about him, but he wanted to become a demon hunter, so he went out to pursue his dreams.]
Seven Commands: [Di Anyu is a wolf demon. Because he has eaten a lot of immortal herbs, he has a strong aura of immortality, and basically no one can discover his true identity.]
Mu Tiantian: [The wolf demon...could it be that annoying big black wolf from Immortal Herb Valley?]
Seven Unifications: [It should be, but I haven't been able to find any more detailed information at the moment.]
Mu Tiantian: [That explains why he asked me that; he recognized me.]
Juechen gazed into Mu Tiantian's beautiful eyes, his heart filled with turmoil.
Even with a veil on, he could recognize her at a glance.
He dared not look any longer, turned and went inside, leaned against the door, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and murmured, "Amitabha..."
He recited scriptures, trying his best not to think about her.
Wan Tong sent someone to take Fang Ru to receive medical treatment and to comfort the guests. Di Anyu went up to her, said a few words, and then returned to his seat.
Wan Tong pulled Mu Tian Tian away.
Wan Mingyu asked, "Senior brother, what did you say to the shopkeeper just now?"
Di Anyu's lips curved into a handsome smile. "Didn't you want to save her? Let's do it tonight."
