Chapter 53 Inn
"this is me?"

Lin Yao's voice was frighteningly hoarse.

The woman's fingers tapped gently to the beat of the opera singers on the stage.

"My dear, I'm in so much pain."

The "Vega"'s hands were shaking, but she couldn't lift them up because of the red rope.

Lin Yao's memory stopped at the scene in front of the cowshed.

"Is this scene good?"

The woman spoke softly, and the drowsiness and memory in Lin Yao's mind disappeared.

His eyes gradually regained clarity.

The bride in front of him disappeared, and everything that happened just now seemed to be Lin Yao’s one-man show.

"Just now, what happened?"

Lin Yao had his back to the woman. He knew clearly that everything he had just experienced was the woman's doing.

"Nothing, I just wanted to show you my past life."

The blue blade landed on the woman's shoulder, but the latter didn't feel anything and took a sip of tea.

An eerie silence formed between the two of them.

"Sit down first and watch the show."

The woman put down the teacup.

Lin Yao put away his sword. He no longer had the heart to listen to the opera on the stage.

The memories in his mind made his mind a mess.

If that was really her previous life, then the tragic experience of the Weaver Girl was entirely created by herself.

He frowned, as that memory suddenly came to him, as if it had been hidden deep in his mind.

"At the end of my memory, the pawn ticket in Zhinu's hand was different from the one I saw. What did it mean to exchange my death for her and Xiaoqing's life? Also, why did my body appear in the old yellow cow's stomach?"

Countless doubts swirled in Lin Yao's mind.

He looked at the woman next to him, who was still concentrating on watching the monologue on the stage.

Lin Yao was about to speak when he heard her say.

"Be quiet and finish the show."

Lin Yao had no choice but to continue sitting there, waiting for the opera to end.

The bride in the jar's confession has come to an end.

"It's a pity that when my husband is reborn, he can no longer remember me. That's all, that's all."

After she sang this line, she seemed to have lost all her strength, her head resting on the mouth of the jar, and she made no more sound.

"What do you think of this scene?"

Lin Yao was silent. He thought the woman brought him to watch this show just to evoke memories in his mind.

But the last sentence of the scene made him fall into deep thought.

do not remember?
Just now, when Lin Yao saw Xiaoqing wearing her wedding dress, the inexplicable sense of familiarity that surged in his heart made him a little confused.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Su Su."

The woman stood in front of Lin Yao.

Susu?

Lin Yao suddenly remembered the signature on the pawn ticket.

"Are you the proprietress of the Wangsheng Inn?"

"good."

Lin Yao looked at her blankly.

"Why? Are you surprised?"

Susu chuckled.

"Is this the Rebirth Inn?"

"No."

Su Su's words poured a bucket of cold water on Lin Yao's heart.

"This is the Fengmen Ancient House. I came here to look for something."

"What happened to Simeng?"

"She is the next owner of the Inn of the Rebirth."

Lin Yao sat in the outer courtyard, pondering the truth in Su Su's words.

"Are the things I saw real?"

"Yes."

Susu sighed, reached out to Lin Yao's chest, and pulled out the roll of yellow cowhide.

"I haven't seen this thing for a long time."

"What exactly is this?"

Lin Yao looked at the yellow cowhide in her hand. He had been given this roll of hide since he came to this world, but he had never known its origins. "I don't know either. You were the first mortal to come to the Inn through the Path of Rebirth. When you arrived at the Inn, you were holding this roll of hide."

Lin Yao listened to Su Su's words and suddenly realized something.

"You mean the first time? How many times have you seen me?"

Susu smiled softly.

"From the first time until today, I've lost count, but every time, you pawn the same thing."

"The lives of Zhinu and Xiaoqing?"

Su Su nodded in surprise.

"How did you know?"

"I remember seeing a pawn ticket."

Su Su fell silent and opened the yellow cowhide.

“What is the truth of this world?”

Lin Yao suddenly spoke.

Su Su returned the yellow cowhide to him.

"This world is tainted by an inexplicable filth that even gods and immortals cannot escape, let alone the mortals of this world."

She chuckled softly, with a hint of desolation and sigh in her voice.

"They are nothing more than sacrifices kept in a filthy enclosure."

Lin Yao also fell silent. He had thought about the low status of the human race in this world, but he didn't expect that they had become lambs in a cage.

"What is the relationship between Xiaoqing, Zhinu and me?"

"I'm not sure. The relationship between the two of them in each of your lives was very special. They had feelings for each other, but they never ended up together."

"That's good."

Lin Yao sighed. Although the two women beside him had a strange sense of familiarity, he always felt a special barrier between them.

Perhaps it was because I traveled through time and space and replaced Lin Yao who was originally going to take this path.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"The last question is, who am I?"

The smile on Susu's face froze instantly, and her eyes turned cold as she stared at Lin Yao.

"Aren't you Lin Yao?"

"Susu."

At this time, Lin Yao became extremely confident again.

"You are the proprietress of the Rebirth Inn. You have seen many gods and monsters, but I am just a mortal, yet I can reach the Rebirth Inn after every reincarnation. Don't you find it strange?"

Lin Yao crossed his arms and looked up at Su Su.

"Or, were these words taught to you by Susu?"

After the words fell, Su Su in front of Lin Yao fell silent, with a somewhat unfriendly look on her face.

"How will you explain yourself if you kill me?"

Behind him, the other nightmare arm stopped.

"Now, let's get to know each other again. My name is Lin Yao."

He held out his hand, waiting for the woman's response.

"The shopkeeper is right. You are indeed worth our gamble."

The woman held out her hand.

"Just call me Su Nu."

"What do you mean by taking a gamble?"

Lin Yao frowned, feeling a little surprised by Su Nu's words.

In their conversation, the latter answered fluently, as if he had already guessed what Lin Yao was going to ask.

So, he asked about his identity at the end.

If she could explain it clearly, I would believe her identity as the proprietress of the Wangsheng Inn.

"How did you guess my identity?"

Su Nu asked in some surprise. She didn't reveal any obvious flaws, but the man in front of her was as smart as a demon.

"It's simple. You've been disguising yourself very well, but it's precisely because of this that your disguise is so perfect that it actually strikes me as somewhat odd. You said this was the ancient house of Fengmen, but as the owner of the Wangsheng Inn, it's not normal for you to suddenly appear here. And then, you took the initiative to reveal your identity tonight and perfectly answered my question. At this point, I actually find it a bit strange."

Lin Yao smiled.

"So I asked the final question, which you absolutely cannot answer."

"Wonderful."

After hearing what he said, Su Nu fell silent for a while.

"The Rebirth Inn can no longer hold on."
