Chapter 172 A Surge of Death



I'm at the inn; those who go out will definitely come back.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Meng's eyes; this seemed to be the answer she wanted to know.

"Then I'll take you back to your room."

"Thank you, boss lady." Wei Qinghe didn't refuse. Just as she stood up, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a low voice with an embarrassed look, "By the way, the dishes at noon were very delicious. Could you send us an extra dish for dinner?"

Xiao Meng smiled without hesitation and said, "Of course, as long as the guests like it. As long as they like it."

As the two left their room, they passed through a long corridor and could see the grand scene in the lobby downstairs.

The hall was filled with diners, yet it felt empty and eerie.

The diners had empty, lifeless eyes; at that moment, they looked more like walking corpses who only knew how to eat.

They chewed on the rotting flesh with blank expressions and frantic savagery, the maggots falling off the carcass.

The atmosphere of terror instantly intensified, and an extremely strong aura of death permeated the air.

It's as if this inn has become a place of demons.

What exactly does Qingyu Palace want to do?

Wei Qinghe looked at the true state of their bowls and plates and forcibly suppressed her nausea.

"The food at the inn is really good; look how happily everyone is eating."

Xiao Meng had initially thought that Wei Qinghe had figured something out, but now that she heard what she said, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are the top chefs in Tianhai City, so our culinary skills are naturally exceptional."

Xiao Meng personally escorted Wei Qinghe back to her room. In front of Xiao Meng, Wei Qinghe told Fang Buwei and Qi Lan the location of the clinic and kept a close eye on Qi Lan as she bought some daily necessities.

Although Qi Lan didn't quite agree with Wei Qinghe's decision, she had no choice but to cooperate at this point.

"This Haichao City looks huge, I wonder if we'll be able to find someone in a while."

"It's alright. It's getting late. You can look around first and familiarize yourself with the routes in Haichao City."

Wei Qinghe pretended to take out a Qiankun bag containing a small amount of spirit stones and gave it to Qi Lan, saying, "Keep these spirit stones safe."

"I understand, sister."

Qi Lan readily agreed, "Sister, you should rest first. We'll be back soon."

Fang Buwei, carrying Wan Yunsheng who was wrapped in a cloak and had been specially disguised as a patient, followed Qi Lan out quickly.

With Xiao Meng's consent, the waiter did not object.

Just as Xiao Meng was about to follow, Wei Qinghe suddenly called out to her.

"Boss lady."

Xiao Meng turned around somewhat uneasily, but the smile remained on her face.

"Is there anything else, little sister?"

Wei Qinghe sat down weakly, looking guilty, and said:

"We only know that our relatives live in this Haichao City, but we don't know their exact location or how long we'll be staying here. Could you please help me buy a kitten?"

"Buy a cat?" A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Meng's eyes, probably because she was thinking of the old cat that had died tragically before.

Wei Qinghe took in Xiao Meng's expression and gaze. Her purpose was twofold: first, to stall Xiao Meng, and second, to confirm something.

"My younger brother really loves kittens, and I want to buy one to please him."

"I'll have someone keep an eye out for you later. If you're not feeling well, you should rest for a bit." Xiao Meng's smile seemed a little forced, though she herself didn't seem to realize the situation.

"Thank you very much, boss lady," Wei Qinghe said.

Xiao Meng then went out, but at that moment Fang Buwei and Qi Lan had successfully led Wan Yunsheng away from the inn.

Wei Qinghe immediately activated the formation, releasing only two wisps of divine sense.

Two extremely weak strands of divine sense quickly located Fang Buwei and Wan Yunsheng.

However, two people followed him all the way. Fortunately, Fang Buwei had a good memory and had deliberately memorized the map beforehand.

Wan Yunsheng nestled in Fang Buwei's arms, extremely nervous.

"Don't turn around, someone is following us. We still need to go to the clinic." Fang Buwei thought for a moment and decided to go into the clinic to find another opportunity to avoid being followed.

Wan Yunsheng felt even more ashamed. If it weren't for him, perhaps Wei Qinghe and the others wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

Before they could even figure out what was going on, Wan Liang'an arrived, and the princess of Qingyu Palace was also there.

Wei Qinghe's other wisp of divine consciousness went to search for Qi Lan.

However, Qi Lan was not so lucky.

Once outside the inn, Qi Lan and Fang Buwei went their separate ways.

As a result, the waiter who was following her seemed to have developed lustful thoughts towards her.

He had only been out for a short time when his true nature was revealed.

"What are you going to do?" Qi Lan had been cornered in a dead end, and she stared anxiously at the waiter who was approaching her step by step.

The waiter hadn't even changed his clothes, showing he wasn't afraid of revealing his identity.
