Luoshui Town.
The clouds, carrying their shadows, rested here.
They actually brought eleven divine guards with them: Yunying was one, along with two female divine guards and eight male divine guards.
Oh, no, we also have to add that shameless coachman outside, who claims to be her protector.
She thought about it for several days but couldn't figure out whose side he was on. Eventually, she simply stopped thinking about it, as long as he wouldn't harm her.
Besides, if we encounter danger, having more people who aren't on our side to help us out means we won't feel bad if they die. Isn't that great?
The carriage stopped.
"Madam, shall we stay here tonight?" Yunying glanced at the inn's sign and turned to Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo gave a soft "hmm," and then the curtain was lifted, and Yun Qingluo was helped down from the carriage by Yun Ying.
"Innkeeper, hurry! Bring me a serving of the best wine and dishes, quick! I'm starving!" A man claiming to be nameless swaggered into the inn and shouted to the innkeeper.
"Here you are, gentlemen. Are you looking for a place to stay?" The waiter immediately ran over, but was pushed aside by the sharp-eyed innkeeper, who greeted Yun Qingluo and her group with a smile.
Those who followed in were only Yun Qingluo, Yun Ying, Wuming, and two goddess guards named Qiushui and Qiuyue. The other goddess guards remained hidden in the shadows.
"Yes, bring four superior rooms, and a table of fine wine and food, hurry up!" Wuming said loudly.
"Alright, sir, it'll be right there, right away." After saying that, the shopkeeper immediately called the shop's staff to the kitchen to make the arrangements.
He likes such extravagant guests, so of course he'll choose the most expensive and delicious dishes.
In the lobby on the first floor, several tables of guests were still sitting, all talking about a strange thing.
"Poor old man Mo, he raised his daughter all by himself with great difficulty, and now this has happened. What a tragedy."
"Hey, don't say that. You should keep an eye on your own daughter. I heard that man specifically targets women."
"It's really strange. Our town has always been peaceful. How could such a strange thing happen now?"
"I think it's a flower thief who has settled in our town. Oh, by the way, you distinguished guests over there, you should finish your meal and leave tonight. You are all women, so please be careful."
The nameless man who went to get the wine returned. "Hey, it's getting late, and it's raining outside. Of course we'll spend the night here. If one comes, we'll take it down; if two come, I'll kill them both. What's there to be afraid of?"
“Alas, young master, you don’t know, even the government can’t do anything about it. How can you, all by yourself, protect so many people?” an old man sighed.
Wuming glanced at the women at their table, scoffed, and thought, "Come on, they don't need my protection at all."
That pregnant woman with limited mobility might need some assistance.
"Uncle, what's going on? Have a lot of women gone missing in town?" Yun Qingluo asked, bored out of her mind.
Just then, the waiter came over to pour tea and gossiped, "I know, this is really strange. A month ago, women started disappearing one after another in town. Two women disappeared every night, and they were all young women. Everyone is saying that it was the work of a womanizer."
"That's right. So far today, no women have been harmed. Madam and the young ladies, you must be careful," an older woman said with concern.
Yun Qingluo's expression turned slightly cold. Two people every day?
In other words, more than seventy people have been murdered so far?
"The authorities haven't found any clues?" Wuming was somewhat angry.
"Sigh, the government sends people out every day, but they find no clues. The women who are supposed to disappear in the town are still disappearing. What a mess this is."
"The bodies of those women haven't been found either?" Yun Qingluo asked.
In such a small town, the disappearance of more than seventy women is no small number, especially since there are no other towns around.
If he had truly been murdered, it's impossible that his body wouldn't have been found.
"That's right, so it might not necessarily be the work of a flower thief. Maybe it's some kind of mountain ghost that eats women's flesh and blood," one person exclaimed.
"Nonsense! Where do ghosts and demons come from in this world? They're just an excuse for evil people to do evil." Yunying sneered.
"That's true, but with so many women missing from our town, and no clues found, this..."
"This is nothing but the government's incompetence; where do all these excuses come from?" Wuming said coldly.
Just then, the waiter served the dishes, and Yun Qingluo said in a low voice, "Alright, let's eat first."
Wuming stared at Yun Qingluo in shock, then leaned closer and whispered, "Aren't you going to get involved in this?"
Yun Qingluo glanced at him. "Why should I care?"
She was never a good person, nor was she a person with a heart for the world, much less a saint.
She had only one purpose for this trip: to find the strongest team for her Ah Chen.
The nameless man's eyes held a strange look. "You...you're that kind of person? No, how could you be that kind of person? He..."
Yun Qingluo turned her head. "Him? Who is he?"
Wuming froze. Oh no, he'd let something slip.
"What 'him'? You must have misheard me. You must have misheard me. No, I'm starving. I need to eat, I'm starving." Wuming dodged the question and immediately picked up his bowl to eat.
Seeing that he was determined not to speak, Yun Qingluo stopped talking and lowered her head to eat.
Seeing that Yun Qingluo and the others had no intention of leaving, and with the rain outside getting heavier, it was indeed inconvenient to travel at this time.
After finishing their meal, the group went up to the top-tier guest room on the third floor.
A moment later, Qiu Shui Qiu Yue carried hot water into Yun Qing Luo's room.
"Madam, the hot water is ready. Please wash up before you rest," Qiu Shui said.
Yun Qingluo nodded, and Yun Ying said, "Madam, about what the servants said, you..."
"If you're interested, go ahead and look it up," Yun Qingluo said wearily, leaning lazily against the headboard.
After Yun Qingluo finished speaking, she lay down on the bed, feeling a little tired. Yun Ying immediately helped her lie down.
"Then you should rest well, Madam. I'll be right back. Qiu Shui and Qiu Yue, please take good care of Madam," Yun Ying said calmly.
Yun Qinglu muttered, "Oh dear, hurry up and go, I need to sleep, come back soon."
Yun Qingluo didn't say anything else to her. After all, this small Luoshui Town wasn't a big problem for Yun Ying.
Yun Qingluo whispered, "Don't be careless either. You'll soon realize there's always someone better than you."
Yunying responded softly, "Yes, Madam, please rest well."
Yun Qingluo lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and the scene of Mo Beichen massaging her legs echoed in her mind.
Sigh, it seems she's becoming more and more dependent on A-Chen.
It's not that there aren't people serving him, but none of them seem as attentive as Mo Beichen.
Right now, her calves are a little swollen and stinging; usually, it would be Mo Beichen massaging them for her.
