Jiuxi lazily nestled in Mingye's arms and said weakly, "Then... let's stay here first."
Mingye nodded, stroking the cloak that she had kicked aside with both hands, and wrapped her whole body with the cloak like a servant, and then picked her up very gently. Jiuxi's hands were around his neck, and he was as lazy as a cat. He bent his body and jumped out of the carriage. It was really cold outside, and the ground was covered with silver. The snow was about a foot deep, even reaching the calves. Snow like goose feathers floated down from the sky, but did not fall on the two of them. A light blue barrier isolated the cold snowflakes.
There was an inn just ahead, so the three of them quickly headed over there. Through the crack in the door, they could even see a warm glow inside. Li Zang went forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Is anyone there?"
It was just after midnight, so it was not surprising that no one was around. Perhaps the lamp was used to deter thieves.
Li Zang's voice was too quiet, so Jiu Xi yelled, "Open the door! There's business!"
The three of them could see that the entire inn seemed to be shaking. This sound was indeed quite demonic.
There were faint sounds from inside, followed by footsteps. A middle-aged man came over and opened the door. The oil lamp illuminated the man's face, making it look a little strange. The man yawned repeatedly and said, "Sir, please come in!"
The man felt strange. It was snowing so heavily outside, but not only were there no snow on the clothes of these three people, they didn't even have an umbrella. Only some snow flakes were on their boots.
Forget it. There are so many strange people coming to this inn anyway. As long as they don’t cause trouble, it’s fine.
Jiuxi buried her head deeply in Mingye's neck. The sleepiness came over her like a tide, but she was also very hungry. She whispered, "I'm hungry and sleepy."
Mingye patted her back and soothed her, "I'll grill some raw meat for you later."
The man pretended not to know, looked at the paper in his hand again, and said in embarrassment, "Sir, there are still two rooms available."
Li Zang threw down two ingots of silver and, looking at the greed in the shopkeeper's eyes, said, "Bring up some hot water. Do you have any raw meat in your shop?"
The man's hands trembled as he took the silver. He asked fearfully, "Sir... why do you want raw meat?"
These three people are dressed so elegantly, they look like... they shouldn't be monsters!
Li Zang stuffed the silver into the boss's hand and explained, "Our wife likes to eat barbecue."
After a while of hesitating, the man led the way, and Mingye carried the drowsy Jiuxi up the stairs, while Li Zang went to get some water to wash the cold pork, feeling extremely depressed, and complained about something while washing.
The room upstairs was relatively clean. After Mingye put Jiuxi on the bed, he carefully closed the windows in the room. She was already very sleepy, and she fell asleep as soon as she leaned on the pillow.
Mingye tucked the corners of the quilt for her, stroked her hair, and said, "Why are you so sleepy?"
Only the sound of steady breathing responded to him.
She fell into a deeper sleep. This time, what she saw was not as bloody as last time. She saw the very clear water of the Divine River, and a man in a white robe was standing by the river. He closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the green grass. His face was exactly the same as Mingye's. Jiuxi remembered that this man was the ever-victorious general Yueli Shenjun.
She said helplessly, "Five Elements Spiritual Pearl, are you looking for trouble?"
She naturally knew that she was so sleepy because of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, but every time she had this kind of dream, she would feel even sleepier when she woke up.
Hearing her voice, the man standing by the river opened his eyes, looked at her with slightly evil eyes, and said, "You're here."
