How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 505 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (8 pages)
Zhu Wen felt as if he had transformed into a gluttonous beast.

There's a bottomless black hole in my stomach. These steaming hot foods fall in and are quickly digested before you even hear a sound.

She ate as she walked, seemingly chewing slowly, but actually eating very quickly; one-fifth of the hundred sesame cakes disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When she reached the entrance of the inn where she was staying, she smelled the aroma of food inside, rubbed her stomach, and stepped inside.

"Shopkeeper, please send a meal to our room!"

Zhu Wen raised his hand in greeting.

The shopkeeper, who had been lounging behind the counter, smiled broadly when he saw that it was her who spoke.

"Alright, sir, what would you like to order? We have fresh Six-Eyed Spirit Fish today, just caught from the Extreme Cold Abyss, with tender flesh and skin."

Zhu Wen smacked his lips:
"Then let's have ten... fifteen."

After two days of staying, the innkeeper had already become familiar with her generous arms, and his smile grew even brighter.

"No problem! I'll have my master pick the best quality ones for you! I guarantee your spiritual power will skyrocket after you eat them!"

This was, of course, just said in a pleasing way.

If the Six-Eyed Spirit Fish were so beneficial, there wouldn't be so many cultivators in the world practicing fasting.

However, Zhu Wen is clearly not following the conventional path of a cultivator. The six-eyed spirit fish is of far greater use to her than to others.

Therefore, even though his pockets were limited, Zhu Wen still had to eat, all for the sake of increasing his strength as quickly as possible.

It's definitely not because I'm greedy.

Absolutely not.

Zhu Wen stepped into the top-floor room.

This is a complete suite, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a study.

The entire building is decorated in a magnificent and opulent style, with various precious antiques visible everywhere, and it occupies a full half-floor.

Moreover, being located in the Central Continent, which has the most cultivators, such a room is worth a fortune even for just one night.

Zhu Wen skillfully opened the storage bag and counted the spirit stones piled up inside, which resembled a small mountain.

Spirit stones and gold and silver are the common currencies of the Five Continents.

However, spirit stones are the only hard currency.

Gold and silver can buy ordinary food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, but they can't buy anything related to cultivators.

The room she was standing in, and the food she had just ordered, all required payment in spirit stones.

Fortunately, Zhu Wen, who came into this world penniless, encountered a whole ship full of "fat sheep".

This greatly alleviated her financial situation; she still had more than a dozen storage bags like these, piled high with spirit stones.

In addition, there were bags containing various magical treasures and spiritual items, but Zhu Wen was worried that people would discover that they came from unknown sources, so he never took them out to use.

However, Zhu Wen considered that the cultivation world was a long time, and who knew when this task would take.

Most importantly, she still hasn't found her child or Quinn's whereabouts.

"Hmm, looks like we need to be more frugal."

She said with feigned distress.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the door behind me.

Zhu Wen happily went to open the door.

Six strong men carried her food onto a table.

The smiling shopkeeper stayed by their side, personally serving her throughout.

Zhu Wen, used to this kind of scene, waved his hand:

"let it go."

The shopkeeper became increasingly convinced that the person in front of him was an unfathomable master.

Even the magical artifact used in the shop to measure strength couldn't detect a trace of it and was almost shattered by the shock.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper lowered his back even further and introduced each dish one by one, exaggerating its merits.

Zhu Wen didn't stop him, finding this explanation more appealing and appetizing. Only after the shopkeeper had finally finished speaking did he prepare to bow and leave.

"...Please feel free to call me if you need anything, esteemed guest."

Zhu Wen nodded in satisfaction:
"Well, let's go."

The shopkeeper and the others had just left.

Immediately afterwards, she opened her appetite and began to eat heartily.

at the same time.

The innkeeper, who had just left Zhu Wen's room and returned to the first floor, heard a commotion coming from the counter—

"...What's going on? Where's your manager? How dare you try to fool me, a mere servant? Do you even know who I am?"

The shopkeeper saw it from afar, smiled with narrowed eyes, and went to greet it:
"Oh my, isn't this Young Master Zhao? It's been a long time!"

A young man dressed in fine clothes turned around angrily and glared at her from not far away.

He was accompanied by a beautiful young woman, as radiant as the moon.

Both of them were exceptionally good-looking, as if they instantly illuminated the inn.

However, once one enters the path of cultivation, one transcends the mortal realm, and a superior physical appearance is the most basic requirement. The entire Five Continents are never short of handsome men and beautiful women.

Even though the young man and woman in front of them were good-looking, they weren't enough to attract much attention, so everyone's gaze only lingered on them briefly before quickly shifting away.

The boy was quite arrogant, raising his chin and ordering as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Manager Wang, it seems you've really gotten too big for your britches, daring to ignore me!"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically:
"How could I dare, Young Master Zhao? I just finished my work and rushed over as soon as I heard you were here."

The boy was very dissatisfied:

"What guest could be more important than me?"

At this age, and being a pampered young master who has been spoiled since childhood, what he cares about most is that he is not the number one object of others' compliments.

This is why teenagers get angry nowadays.

The shopkeeper knew perfectly well what was going on, so he could only offer a fawning apology and casually mention:

"They are guests staying on the top floor."

The boy's expression softened slightly.

Although he was arrogant, he was not incapable of distinguishing between important and unimportant matters.

This inn is the best in town, and the top-floor suites are the most expensive rooms.

Very few people have the financial means to live in a penthouse suite, and the person in question might be someone they would have to respect.

"So that's how it is! Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Self-centered people will never reflect on their mistakes.

He chose to shift the blame onto others.

The shopkeeper, of course, dared not argue with the other party.

The young master Zhao Jingtian before him was the most favored junior of the Zhao family, a prominent clan in the Central Continent, and he dared not neglect him.

Of course, compared to the other guest in the penthouse suite, the manager still preferred Zhu Wen.

Firstly, there's the difference in their attitudes.

Secondly, of course, it's because Zhao Jingtian himself is only at the Golden Core stage, and his strength is no match for the Nascent Soul stage manager. The manager is only being so polite and courteous because of the Zhao family's reputation.

However, the other guest, Zhu Wen, possessed a strength that even the Nascent Soul stage shopkeeper could not fathom.

In the five continents, strength reigns supreme.

The shopkeeper could naturally distinguish between what was more important and what should come first.

Isn't it because this young master Zhao knows this that he skillfully backs down?

The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully before asking:
"Young Master Zhao, are you planning to stay on the top floor again this time?"

Zhao Jingtian shook his head, then nodded:

"It's not me living there, it's my friend."
