The two walked towards the gate of the inn's courtyard. Two maids were busy carrying the welcoming potted plants into the courtyard. When they saw them coming, they hurried back to the gate and bowed humbly, revealing a large area of white skin through the hollow fabric on the chest of their dresses: "Please come in, guests."
When the two of them stepped over the threshold, the maid closed the door behind them, just blocking out the heavy bell sound that represented the start of curfew.
It was deserted outside the door, but it was bustling inside.
Before he stepped into the lobby of the inn, Yan Mobai heard the crisp sound of drinkers clinking glasses in the courtyard in front of the door. The lights on the second floor of the inn were even more luxurious. Ambiguous candlelight shone through the window papers of several guest rooms, and the rise and fall of delicate voices leaked from behind the windows from time to time.
There were several women in sexy clothes sitting in front of the main hall. When they saw a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes walking into the inn, they came up to him and started a conversation. The gentle calls of "Young Master" accompanied by the smell of powder surrounded Yan Mobai.
His hands were clenched tighter and Yan Mobai turned his eyes to the side. The girl was glaring at those prostitutes like a kitten guarding its food.
However, she was so pretty and cute that even the most ferocious look could hardly do any harm and only made the girls smile coquettishly.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
Li Yuluo was angry and annoyed. She simply hugged the leader's arm as if to assert her sovereignty. Her light purple eyes widened and said, "My family teacher...my master would not look down on you, just because you are such a mediocre girl!"
Several prostitutes were not ignorant. Seeing that the relationship between her and the boy was closer than they had imagined, they put away the smiles on their faces, apologized in a low voice, and tactfully left.
The short and fat shopkeeper heard the noise outside and pushed the door open and walked out.
"what happened?"
The girls felt that they were in the wrong and huddled aside, not daring to say anything.
"Humph, you're not in the store to accompany customers, and you're causing trouble for me every day!"
The fat shopkeeper took a quick look around and realized what was happening. He snorted coldly and his eyes fell on the two guests.
At first glance, he felt that the two people's appearance and temperament were extraordinary. He had never seen them in Jiuling Town before, so he thought they were young men and women from outside. He quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Are you two here to stay? Please come in!"
Yan Mobai thanked him softly and took the girl into the lobby of the inn.
As soon as I entered the door, it was as if a barrier was broken in my ears, and the noise I heard outside before became clear and loud.
The lobby of the inn is very spacious, with a stage in the middle and many wine tables and tea chairs placed around.
Amid the sound of orchestral music, the singers and dancers on the stage had their sleeves fluttering, showing off their enchanting figures.
The aroma of wine and meat mixed with the incense of powder and powder formed an intoxicating smell. The two of them walked with difficulty between the drunken man and the charming and smiling woman. Yan Mobai held the petite girl in his arms and walked towards the counter past the tables of fine wine and delicacies.
In addition to wine, meat and beauties, gamblers playing dice at the tables can be seen everywhere in the lobby.
The dice are as black as ink jade, and the points carved on them are as red as blood.
The rosewood table was littered with broken pieces of gold and silver, not even a copper coin could be seen. Every time the dice fell, the people sitting around the table stared at it spinning on the table with red eyes. When the dice landed, shouts of joy or anger would immediately burst out from the table.
No matter whether it is Yan Mobai or Li Yulo, it is the first time for them to come to such a place of extravagance and decadence. They are used to the loneliness and desolation of the immortal world, and the hustle and bustle of the mortal world makes them feel a little at a loss.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper came quickly to greet them, dispersed the drunkards around, and cleared out a small space.
The two of them had no money on them, so the girl pondered for a long time and finally picked out the cheapest spirit stone from the brocade bag as payment for the hotel.
Low-level cultivators live together with ordinary people in towns and cities. Spirit stones have special places to be converted into silver, and can also be used as currency.
When he handed it over, the shopkeeper was shocked.
"This... this is..." He rubbed the spirit stone that was as smooth as jade repeatedly, his tiny eyes becoming more and more shocked.
"Please wait here for a moment, I will be back soon." After leaving these words, the shopkeeper hurriedly trotted upstairs.
When he came back, his fat face was full of flattery, "My two immortal masters, I have already asked the Sunlight Tower to vacate a room. I wonder if you want to stay in one room... or two?"
Yan Mobai glanced at the girl; her pretty face could not hide her thoughts at all.
"One room is enough." He thought for a moment and then asked, "Can you prepare some meals for us?"
"Hey, Master, if you want to eat anything, just tell the maid. Even if it's dragon meat from heaven, we'll prepare it and send it to you!"
The spirit stones of the immortals were much more precious than silver. The shopkeeper had obviously made a lot of profit from the spirit stone and happily handed over a jade token.
"Please keep this sign. In Penglai Pavilion, you only need to show this sign, and no matter what kind of wine you want to drink, what kind of food you want to eat, what kind of woman you want..." Seeing the girl glaring at him, he swallowed his words back, "Anyway, I will do whatever I can for you!"
Yan Mobai took the plaque and saw a blazing sun carved on this piece of fine yellow jade. Below the blazing sun, a character "two" was engraved in a flamboyant style.
Chapter 66: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
The guest rooms of Penglai Pavilion Inn are divided into three grades. The 50 guest rooms in Yaoxing Tower are lower rooms, the 20 guest rooms in Yaoyue Tower are middle rooms, and the 10 guest rooms in Yaori Tower are upper rooms.
Each building has five floors. The most luxurious upper rooms have two rooms sharing one floor, the middle rooms have four rooms sharing one floor, and the most rudimentary lower rooms have ten rooms squeezed on the same floor.
But even the narrowest lower room in Yaoxing Tower costs one tael of silver per night, not to mention the upper rooms in Yaori Tower which cost hundreds of taels per night.
It is impossible to spend this heavy sum of one hundred taels of silver only on accommodation.
The Sunrise Tower was filled with musk and lit with charming scarlet lights. As soon as the two of them pushed open the door of Room 2, several pretty ladies in long skirts came up to them. They pressed themselves on Yan Mobai's hands without saying anything. Their eyes were as bright as water, and they whispered in his ears, "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time~"
The sudden warmth, fragrance and softness of her body made Yan Mobai's body stiffen slightly for a moment.
He can handle many things, but he is not good at dealing with women.
Seeing that the young man did not stop him, the beauties' beautiful faces showed understanding and their movements became bolder.
Just as several pairs of delicate hands were about to reach into his clothes, they were simultaneously knocked down by a silk sleeve.
"Go away, all of you, go away!"
Li Yuluo waved her sleeves in anger, chasing away these charming and beautiful maids like mice in a granary, "The Master has me! He doesn't need you to serve him!"
The maids covered their scalding hands, their charming faces were frightened, and some of their makeup had fallen off. They thought the visitor was a rich man, and the girl next to him was just a toy for him to have fun.
But seeing her angry look, she looked like the visitor's beloved wife.
They were both shocked and suspicious. Although the girl in front of them had an exquisite appearance and was a rare beauty in the world, the men who came here to play were all looking for pleasure. Who would bring his wife here?
"What are you doing here? This is the guest room where the young master and I stay!" the girl shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"
The maids looked at Yan Mobai at a loss.
Yan Mobai coughed lightly: "Yu Luo, let's leave one behind."
"Master?"
The girl was stunned, looking up at him in disbelief, "Does the leader want three people..." She clutched the hem of her skirt and lowered her head aggrievedly, "Well, if the leader has such a fetish, it's not impossible for me to satisfy him."
Yan Mobai was quite speechless about her train of thought: "What are you thinking about? If we drive everyone away, who will bring us food?"
Seeing her stunned look, Yan Mobai couldn't help but pinch her soft face hard.
The girl's eyes were filled with tears from the pain. She opened her mouth and tried to bite the hand that was pinching her face. But she couldn't bear to bite it hard. She just held it in her mouth with her little canine teeth, staring at him fiercely with her big eyes.
To the maids, her behavior seemed like she was acting coquettishly to tease her own master.
The couple were so in love that they were afraid that if they stayed any longer they would annoy the guest, so after discussing in low voices, the beauties quietly pushed the door open and left, leaving only the youngest and most immature maid waiting at the door with her head down. Her pretty face with rosy cheeks turned pale and she looked a little helpless.
If you anger the guests who stay over, those who stay will inevitably be blamed. Being left behind to take the blame by others makes you the most unpopular person among your companions.
Li Yuluo's heart softened, and his previous anger disappeared a lot.
After all, we are all helpless...
She did not make things difficult for the maid, but ordered a few meals and fruits she wanted, and then let her go.
It would take quite some time for the meal to be served. The two of them walked around the entire upper room and felt that it was extremely luxurious. Any single decoration would be enough to bankrupt ordinary people.
Yan Mobai carefully searched the decorations in the house, and after confirming that there were no problems, he sat cross-legged on the silk mat and began to meditate.
With the spiritual stone chalcedony sent by Qian Qiuxue, there is no need to worry about draining the surrounding spiritual energy for the time being.
About half an hour later, the clear ringing of silver bells was heard outside the door.
The maid's voice came through the door: "Sir, the meal you requested is ready."
Li Yuluo walked lightly to the door.
Squeak.
The lattice door was pushed open.
The maid outside was replaced by a gentle woman with light makeup. Her temperament was not as gentle as the previous ones. It was obvious that the people in the inn heard about what happened here and specially replaced her.
The meals were placed on a small wooden cart, all served in fine jade porcelain, with steam rising from the edges.
Before opening the lid, the girl could smell the rich aroma of vegetables and meat.
After pushing the cart into the guest room door, the maid bowed weakly, then turned around and walked to the stairs, pushing over a small wooden dining cart.
Seeing the maid ringing the bell at the door opposite, Li Yulo suddenly realized that Room No. 1 in the Sunlight Building, which was opposite their guest room, was also occupied.
Curiosity prevented the girl from going back immediately.
She stood at the door and listened to the maid softly say, "Miss Yu, the sweet soup you ordered is ready."
Since the maid called him by name, it was obvious that he had lived in this inn for a while. He was still occupying Room No. 1 in the Sunlight Tower. He was probably a cultivator.
In the Yaoguang Sect’s territory, the most common people are of course the Yaoguang Sect’s disciples.
However... Li Yuluo was not worried that the other party would see through her disguise.
The mask on his face could only be worn by elite secret servants. Without the cultivation of spiritual power, there would be absolutely no flaws visible at all.
The supreme elder of the Yaoguang Sect was still in the Western Regions, and the only spiritual cultivator left in the sect was the Sect Master. She didn't believe that the Yaoguang Sect Master would leave the immortal mountain and come to this remote place, and even happen to stay in the same inn with her.
Soon, the door opposite was pushed open from the inside.
The person who leaned out was a girl wearing a fox mask. She was draped in a light white robe, and her long black hair was tied into two exquisite buns on top of her head. The rest of her hair was tied into two long and flowing ponytails that fell behind her waist. Her whole body was wrapped tightly in the robe, leaving only her fair and delicate neck and ears exposed, but her exquisite figure could still be discerned from under the cover of the cloth.
When Li Yulo saw the girl, the other party also saw her.
The amber eyes in the mask's eye sockets flashed with surprise for a moment, but it was quickly concealed.
After sending the maid away, she reached her hand out from her robe and lifted the lid of the top dish of sugar water.
There was also wisp of white mist rising around the porcelain bowls filled with sugar water. It was not hot air, but cold air rising from the ice at the bottom of the bowls.
The lid of the bowl was opened with bare hands, and the elegant fragrance of nectar immediately filled the corridor. The emerald green syrup in the white jade bowl was rippling like a blue lake, with a pile of soft ice smoothie like a snow mountain in the center, just an inch above the water surface, and a bright red cherry dotted on the tip of the ice smoothie.
“It looks delicious…”
Li Yulo's eyes were immediately fixed on the bowl of sugar water, and he couldn't move them away.
Chapter 67: I see
Yi Niaoniao has been in Jiuling Town for four days.
When she first came here, she thoroughly investigated several people in the town who were turned into ashes by lightning.
What kind of work they usually do, what are their parents' names, how many children are born in the family and what are their names...even whether they ate steamed buns or steamed buns on the day they died, all are clearly checked.
Apart from the Ningmai disciple of Yaoguang Sect who died suddenly in front of the city gate, the other seven dead were all ordinary people such as merchants, farmers, and cooks. Their life trajectories were like seven unrelated lines, mixed in the big ball of thread of Jiuling Town. Picking out any one of them would not disturb the other six at all.
However, these seven unrelated mortals were struck into dust one after another by thunder from the sky in just three days.
Yi Niaoniao couldn't find any clues from it.
She knew that there must be some connection between these eight thunders, and she also knew that there must be the shadow of a certain god behind them.
But...why?
Why did they go to so much trouble to bring down eight thunders from the sky? When stacked together, they were even enough to kill a spiritual cultivator, so why did they choose to strike ordinary people?
She couldn't think of a reason.
It has been some time since the last thunder struck, and since then everything has been calm, as if the matter had ended there.
But Yi Niaoniao's intuition told her that the matter was far from over.
The world calls Yaoguang a great immortal sect, but she knows clearly that Yaoguang sect, which only has two spiritual cultivators, is like fish on the chopping board among the major sects. Before doing anything, it has to consider other people's expressions first. If it has any conflict with others, it will only suffer the loss in the end.
Not to mention, the Yaoguang Sect's territory is right next to Yanyuzhou. Once a war breaks out between the immortals and the demons, if the demons want to counterattack the immortal sects, there is a high probability that this is the first place they will target.
The various righteous sects claim to be in alliance with each other, but if they don't get enough benefits, who would take the initiative to sacrifice their own cultivators to rescue the Yaoguang Sect?
Forced by this, Yi Niaoniao chose to lend a helping hand to Yuheng, using the technique of sealing heaven and earth to capture the leader of the Demon Cult, in exchange for Yuheng's protection of Yaoguang for a hundred years.
It was also because of this incident that the Supreme Elder dared to go to Xihezhou to get a share of the pie, leaving Yi Niaoniao alone to guard the sect.
But no matter how much they planned, they never expected that all the Yuheng Immortals had gone to the Western Regions and had no time to care about Yaoguang's safety.
If I can’t be ashamed to ask that sword geek to help me with this conspiracy against the Yaoguang Sect, I can only solve it myself...
As a spiritual cultivator, she naturally possessed spiritual awareness and could faintly feel that the thunderclouds in the sky had not dispersed and that many of the hanging thunders had not yet fallen.
They may not just be hanging in the sky above Jiuling Town. The thunderclouds may be thicker and wider, and the shadow they cast may be able to cover the entire Yaoguang Sect.
