Chapter 60: A Pastry That Triggered a Bloodbath!

  Leng Ruoxue raised her eyes to size up the tall and luxurious inn in front of her, on which was written "Guanyuelou" in three golden characters. The gilded font shone with a beautiful luster under the sunlight, and at the lower right corner of the signboard was a small crescent moon, which was precisely the emblem of the Guanyue family!

  "Xue Er, it seems this is a guest house belonging to the Guan Yue family!" said Leng Ruo Han, also sizing up the guest house.

  "Hmm, brother, demon, let's go in and see if there are any more rooms!" Leng Ruoxue suggested, then pulled the demon and walked into the hotel first.

  It was already afternoon, and the dining time had passed, so there weren't many people in the first-floor dining hall of the guest shop. However, when Cold Snow, Demoniac, Cold Frost, and others walked in, they still attracted the attention and astonishment of the people inside!

  Leng Ruo Xue and others walked in as if no one was around, and came directly to the front desk. The shopkeeper was counting money inside the counter, feeling that someone had blocked the sunlight in front of him. The shopkeeper raised his head with a hint of displeasure, ready to scold, but froze after seeing the person in front of him...

  "Miss, are you here to dine or lodge?" The shopkeeper's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at the breathtakingly beautiful young girl before him, his heart filled with inexplicable shock. Which family's daughter was this? She was so lovely that it was difficult to describe her beauty with words. He had been managing the inn for many years and had seen many daughters of prominent families come to stay, but none could be compared to the one standing in front of him!

  "Accommodation!" Cold as snow, she said lightly, her beautiful eyes slightly sizing up the person in front of her. The shopkeeper looked to be around 40 years old, with a very ordinary appearance, but his small eyes were extremely sharp, and he was also a Xuan Shi (Mystic Master), although his strength was only that of an entry-level Xuan Shi. However, being able to manage such a large inn, he must have some extraordinary abilities!

  "Miss, I'm really sorry. Because there are more people coming to Guan Yue City recently, the rooms in our hotel are very tight. Now we only have one luxury suite left, and I'm afraid it won't be enough for all of you." The shopkeeper said with a apologetic face.

  "It doesn't matter, let's just open a room then!" Leng Ruo Xue said nonchalantly, for them, having one room was enough.

  "Miss, there are only three rooms in the suite, what about the others?" asked the shopkeeper.

  "Three rooms are enough, my subordinates can find a place to stay casually, so as not to trouble the shopkeeper." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly, thinking that this shopkeeper was being too nosy.

  "Ah, well then, please follow me!" The shopkeeper left the front desk and led Rong Ruoxue and the others up the stairs to the third floor. Then, pointing to a room at the far end of the third floor, he said: "It's this one."

  "Thank you, shopkeeper. If it's nothing important, please don't disturb us." said Leng Ruo Xue to the shopkeeper.

  "Alright, if you'd like to have a meal, you can go to the first floor hall or call me anytime, there's an intercom in the room." The shopkeeper reminded them, then bowed politely and went downstairs.

  After the shopkeeper left, Leng Ruo Xue pushed open the door of the suite and walked straight in, with others naturally following closely behind.

  Her eyes, as cold as snow, scanned the luxurious suite. This was still the best room they had stayed in since coming to the Continent of Dawn. The entire room was mainly white, looking quite elegant and unique, giving people a very comfortable feeling!

  "Hey, miss, this place is not bad, it's even more luxurious than the Xiangyang Building we used to live in." Zheng En said with some excitement, his eyes scanning around.

  "Cut, it's not even comparable to Xiangyao Building here." Ice Qian, who was pretending to sleep in Leng Ruo Xue's arms, heard Zheng En's words and opened his icy blue eyes with a displeased expression, saying disdainfully.

  "Ah!" Zheng En was speechless, how did he manage to provoke this little ancestor! Don't bite him!

  "Ah, young one, Xiao Bing said it right! The Carefree Pavilion is indeed the number one inn on the Vast Heaven Continent, and throughout the entire continent, only the Carefree Pavilion can be mentioned in the same breath as the inns owned by the three great super families." The old man hastily explained, sighing. He was also afraid that his obedient disciple would get bitten by the dog! After all, this little dog bites people without any mercy!

  "Zheng En, we were staying in ordinary rooms at the Xiangyao Building, but this one is luxurious." said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile.

  "Heh heh, miss, I forgot!" Zheng En said with a somewhat embarrassed scratch of his head.

  "Which of you wants to live here?" Leng Ruoxue's beautiful eyes scanned Feng Da and the others as she asked.

  "Miss, I won't stay." Feng Da said first, hum! This place is not as good as Miss's space, and he still wants to go in and cultivate!

  "I'm not staying either!"

  "I'm not staying either!"

  Hayashibara and others expressed their opinions, no one wants to live in this luxurious guest room.

  "Brother?" Cold Ruo Xue shifted her gaze onto Cold Ruo Han's body and asked.

  "Xue Er, I won't stay here either." Leng Ruo Han said. Xue Er was already a mysterious king, he couldn't fall behind his own sister by too much! So, he and Feng Da's thoughts were the same, they also wanted to enter the space to cultivate!

  "Grandfather Du, what about you?" Leng Ruoxue asked the old man again, looking at him. After leaving Wanshan City, she had already taken the old man into space, and the old man's reaction to entering space for the first time was similar to Zheng En's - seeing those familiar or unfamiliar precious herbs, he simply didn't want to come out.

  "Girl, I definitely won't be staying here! I'm going to enter the space and guard those lovely herbs!" The old man said with a hint of excitement, now his body may be outside, but his heart is still with those herbs.

  "Alright, you all go in then! I, You Yao and Wu will stay outside." Leng Ruo Xue said with some helplessness. Alas, Feng Da and the others' cultivation enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high at this moment, while Old Man and Zheng En were herb enthusiasts. It seemed that except for these three people, no one was willing to stay in this luxurious suite!

  "Xue Er, I don't want to..." was cut off by Xue's cold tone as he looked at her with a hint of grievance.

  "That room will be empty, I'll share one with Yaoni, you'll have one, and Bingxi will have one, it's settled." said Leng Ruxue, not allowing any questioning.

  "Xiaoxue, I'm going back to space to sleep." Bing Qi lightly raised an eyebrow and protested.

  "Xiao Bing, you're just sleeping, it's all the same wherever you sleep, don't object." said Leng Ruoxue with an overbearing tone.

  "Xiaoxue Xue, you don't respect animal rights! Wuu... I'm going to report you!" Bing Qilü's eyes were filled with tears as she accused.

  "Where do you want to go?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with a mixture of laughter and tears.

  "I...I..." Bing Qi was stunned for a moment, Ah, where can it be reported?

  "Haha, you stay outside obediently, and I'll let you eat silver snow fish tomorrow, how about that?" Cold Snow tempted, she believed that the temptation of silver snow fish would be unbearable for Little Ice!

  "Alright, I'll have one by myself!" Bing Qi said, still haggling over the price. As soon as he heard "Silver Snow Fish", his mouth began to water!

  "Can you eat it?" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat speechlessly, this foodie, a silver snow fish weighing several tens of kilograms, he actually thought he could finish it by himself, wasn't he afraid of getting bloated?

  "Of course I can eat, my appetite is huge, before it was just half full." Bing Qi said with great grievance, her icy blue beautiful eyes gazed pitifully at Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Are you saying I'm abusing you, not letting you eat your fill?" Cold Snow's forehead involuntarily dripped with two drops of cold sweat, and she said helplessly. Every time Bing Ji ate, his little belly would bulge out, and he couldn't even walk without being carried. Yet he still dared to say he was only half full!

  "Nothing! Nothing! Xiaoxue is the best, how could she bully me?" Bing Qi hurriedly said with a flattering face, huh... She just wanted to pretend to be pitiful and get some benefits for herself, but couldn't let Xiaoxue misunderstand!

  "Is this true?" asked Leng Ruoxue, raising her icy gaze to meet his own.

  "Yes, absolutely yes! Xiaoxue is the best!" Bing Qi said with a flattering face, her two front paws gently holding onto Leng Ruo Xue's arm, her little head constantly rubbing against her wrist.

  "Xiao Bing, this time I'll let it go, but if you're so heartless again next time, I'll spank your butt!" Leng Ruo Xue threatened, her stunning face full of displeasure.

  "Don't hit my butt, it's so humiliating!" Bing Qi pouted her small mouth and said pitifully. She was a renowned beauty of the Qilin tribe, if she were to be spanked by Xiao Xue, how could she face others in the future?

  "As long as you behave, I won't hit you." said Leng Ruoxue with a cold smile.

  "Xiaoxue, when have I ever been disobedient? I've always been obedient!" Bing Qi said with a hint of complaint.

  "I'm talking about later!" said Leng Ruo Xue with a smile.

  "I'll be good!" Bing Qi raised a front paw to promise, alas! It was unforgivable for the Qilin tribe! In front of Little Snow, it had lost all its Qilin majesty.

  "Hmm." Cold-as-snow nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly turned her mind and brought all the people present, including Little Ice, into the ring.

  After entering the courtyard, Leng Ruo Han and others immediately returned to their rooms for cultivation, while Zheng En and Xiao Lao Tou rushed to the medicine field. Leng Ruo Xue and three others sat down on the stone chairs in front of the Purple Bamboo House.

  "Xue Er, let's go for a walk on the streets of Guan Yue City later!" Wu Ti said.

  "Good, right, have you guys found anything out of place?" asked Leng Ruoxue with a hint of puzzlement.

  "Is there? I didn't notice!" Wu said with a faint smile, a hint of understanding flashing in his bright black eyes.

  "I don't either." The demon concurred, in his eyes, as long as it wasn't something that posed a threat to Xue Er, nothing else mattered!

  "Oh, then let's go shopping now!" said Leng Ruo Xue, sighing. Perhaps she was just being paranoid, but she always felt like someone was secretly following them. She didn't know who it was, but they probably didn't have any malicious intentions.

  "Alright!" The two demons nodded and replied.

  Leng Ruo Xue took the two people and one beast out of the room after leaving the courtyard.

  As they passed through the large hall on the first floor, the shopkeeper saw Leng Ruo Xue and others hurry to their front and asked: "Are you all here to dine or leave?"

  "Shopkeeper, we want to go out and take a stroll. Do you have any good places to recommend?" he asked calmly.

  "Haha, you've come to our Moon Watching City at just the right time. Now is the most lively time for us, otherwise, all the inns in the city wouldn't be fully booked." The shopkeeper said with a proud face.

  "Why? Is there something important in Guan Yue City?" she asked curiously.

  "Of course, in a few days it will be our annual Flower Appreciation Conference in Guan Yue City, and many aristocratic families will come to participate." The shopkeeper said happily.

  "What is this flower appreciation meeting?" Leng Ruo Xue asked somewhat puzzled, could it be that the people of this world also enjoy raising flowers?

  "Both famous flowers and beautiful women are considered flowers, if the young lady participates, she will definitely win." The shopkeeper said with great certainty, heh heh, he really has high hopes for this young lady!

  "Can a married woman also participate?" asked Leng Ruoxue indifferently, what kind of flower appreciation meeting is this, I reckon those famous flowers are just accompaniments, the beauties are the most important.

  "Ah! Of course not." The shopkeeper said frankly, the main purpose of the annual flower appreciation meeting in Guan Yue City is to exchange feelings with various big families, in other words, it's actually a matchmaking meeting for various big families. Therefore, married women are naturally not allowed to participate.

  "Then I won't have the chance, I'm already married." Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of regret, humph! She didn't want those lustful men to gossip about her.

  "Huh? Miss is already married? But Miss looks quite young, doesn't she?" The shopkeeper asked with some disbelief and a hint of skepticism.

  "I've been married for many years, and he is my husband!" Leng Ruoxue pointed at the demon, her happiness written all over her face.

  "Oh, congratulations to the young lady then." The shopkeeper said with a hint of regret, "Hmph! Although I had already noticed that their relationship was very close, but still, I didn't expect them to be married already. However, as it turns out, they are indeed a well-matched couple, the woman is stunningly beautiful, and the man is even more handsome than their family's young master, truly a enviable pair of heavenly lovers!"

  "Thank you, shopkeeper. We're going out for a stroll." The demon said with a good mood, then wrapped his arms around Xue Er's slender waist, leaving Wu behind, and the two of them left the inn in big strides...

  "You two are so heartless! How could you leave on your own!" The street outside the inn's entrance was where Wu, who had been ignored, caught up with Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Yu, complaining.

  "You're a light bulb! Get out of the way, don't disturb our sweet husband-and-wife time!" The demoniac in his arms wrapped around Leng Ruoxue, with a face full of disgust towards Wudao.

  "Are you married?" Wu Fan rolled her eyes and asked somewhat speechlessly.

  "Cut it out, didn't you hear Xue Er say that? We've been married for many years already." The demon said with a self-satisfied tone, his handsome face filled with excitement.

  "Xue Er was just trying to appease that shopkeeper, she was just casually saying it, you actually believed her?" reminded kindly.

  "Xue Er, are you just saying that casually?" The demon pouted, asking very discontentedly, with a hint of tears flashing in his dazzling star-like eyes!

  "No." Leng Ruoxue replied simply, her exquisite face filled with helplessness. However, since she had already acknowledged the demon, there was no need to deny it anymore!

  "Look!" The demon's proud and pleased expression, the perfect smile on his handsome face, made the heavens and earth lose their color!

  "Xue'er was just coaxing you." He said with a deliberate tone, Ah! He just couldn't bear to see the demon so pleased with himself! This was clearly meant to provoke this lonely and isolated person!

  "You can't drive a wedge between Snowy and me!" The demon said with great confidence.

  "Are you two done arguing?" Leng Ruo Xue said, exasperated. Alas, these two men wanted to engage in a war of words, but couldn't they find a more suitable place? Two exceptionally handsome men quarreling on the main street would inevitably attract a crowd.

  "We didn't quarrel!" The demon and Wu immediately made up, just like the two men who had been fighting chickens earlier, as if nothing was wrong between them.

  "Hurry up and leave!" Leng Ruo Xue didn't expose them, saying directly, "Alas! Now the three of them have already attracted a lot of strange gazes. She really doesn't want to be surrounded by onlookers!"

  "Oh, let's hurry then!" Wu also felt something was off and urged hastily.

  "Xue Er, which way shall we go?" The demoniac looked at the roads on both sides and asked.

  "Nothing?" Cold as snow, Mei's eyes stared at Wu.

  "Don't look at me, I don't know either. The changes on the mainland are too great now, and many places I'm not familiar with." He shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and sighed... How did it become like this?

  "Let's go right then!" Leng Ruoxue said after a moment of thought, they came from the left to find this inn, and haven't turned around on the right side yet!

  "Hmm." The demon and Wu nodded slightly in agreement.

  After deciding, the three of them walked together towards the street on the right.

  "Xiaoxue, I smell something delicious, go eat quickly!" After walking for a while, Bingji, who was lying in Leng Ruxue's arms, suddenly opened her icy blue beautiful eyes and said somewhat impatiently.

  "You glutton, you just ate at noon and now you want to eat again? Can't you have some self-control?" Leng Ruo Xue said helplessly. Good food was something Bing Ji should have had his fill of, so how could he still be tempted by outside food? She really couldn't understand!

  "I'm starving! Xiaoxue, this smells really good, let's go pay!" Bing Qi pleaded pitifully.

  "Alright!" Looking into Bing Qi's pleading eyes, Leng Ruo Xue couldn't bear to refuse her. Alas! Who made her so helpless against the cute Beastie?

  "Xue Er, the fragrance should be coming from that direction." He pointed to a small, unremarkable path.

  "Hmm, go take a look!" said Leng Ruoxue.

  The demon and Wu nodded, and the three of them followed the fragrance along the small path.

  The road is not long, and after walking to the end, there is only one store. At this time, many people have gathered outside the door of the store, almost everyone stretched their necks, as if waiting for something!

  Leng Ruoxue raised her head to take a look at the signboard, and it turned out that this was a shop specializing in selling dim sum. The crowd outside the door were actually waiting in line to buy dim sum, eh! It's not easy to see people queuing up on the vast continent of Haotian, oh!

  "Come on, Xiao Xue! Let's go line up quickly!" Bing Qi said with some urgency, "Wow... this smell is really too delicious."

  "Xiao Bingbing, it's just a snack, nothing special." Leng Ruoxue said disinterestedly.

  "Hey, do you know what this Fragrant Village is? It's the best pastry shop on our continent of Dawn!" Cold Snow's words immediately triggered dissatisfaction from a fan in line, who scolded with an angry face.

  "Is it really that good?" Leng Ruoxue asked half-believingly, smelling very fragrant, but not knowing if it was worth the reputation when eaten.

  "Of course!" The fan said with a proud face, as if this store was opened by his family.

  "Xiao Bing, let's not buy it, there are too many people!" Leng Ruoxue looked at the crowd that had formed a long line, her head was starting to hurt.

  "Alright!" Bing Qi nodded obediently, then looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a pitiful expression, as if saying, "Xiao Xue Xue, I'm being good, right?"

  "I'll go back and make it for you to eat." Leng Ruoxue let out a soft sigh, saying somewhat helplessly.

  "Mmm." Bing Qi immediately nodded happily, heh heh, it was waiting for this sentence. To be honest, the pastries in this shop aren't necessarily better than Xiaoxue's, but Xiaoxue is too lazy to make them! So, it had to settle for these. Now that Xiaoxue is willing to make them, who needs outside pastries?!

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruoxue turned her head to say to Yao Jiao and Wu Dao.

  "Uh-huh."

  The demon and Wu nodded, the three of them turned around just as they were about to leave, but were stopped by a man who walked out from the shop...

  "Miss, please stay!" The man saw Leng Ruoxue and others were about to leave, so he hurriedly ran in front of them.

  "Is there something?" Leng Ruoxue was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why this middle-aged man who looked like he was in charge wanted to stop them!

  "Miss, this is our Fragrant Village's signature pastry, a gift for you." The middle-aged man said very politely, then handed over the few boxes of pastries he was holding.

  "Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it." Leng Ruoxue said cautiously. As the saying goes, "Eat a man's bread, speak his words", she and this store were not close, so she didn't dare to casually accept their gifts!

  "Miss, this is what our young master asked me to give you as a gift. If you don't want it, I won't be able to explain myself." The middle-aged man said with great difficulty.

  "That's your business, I don't know the young master of your house." Leng Ruo Xue said coldly after hearing the middle-aged man's words. Then, she gave a glance to Yao Jiao and Wu Shi, and the three of them left without looking back...

  After Leng Ruoxue and others left, the middle-aged man looked at the pastries in his hand that he didn't give away, let out a light sigh, then turned around and went back into the store to settle accounts.

  "The young master, the lady refused." The middle-aged man said with a stiff face. Alas! He was very familiar with the young master's temper, and this time he didn't do well with the task entrusted to him by the young master, and he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive!

  In a room in Piaoxiang Village.

  "Alright, you can go now!" The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

  "Yes." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and hastily said, "Oh, Master is not punishing him, it's really unthinkable!" Thinking of this, he hurriedly retreated.

  "It's really rare that you didn't get angry." At this time, another young man in the room couldn't help but speak up and tease.

  The man who was speaking, in his early twenties, had a handsome appearance, elegant and refined, with an extraordinary temperament. His warm and gentle eyes seemed to be able to melt people's hearts. Although he was very young, he was the Dark King, and now he was looking at another man with a subtle smile that was not quite a smile.

  "What's there to be angry about? She would have accepted me if she was willing!" The man who was being teased said nonchalantly, the "her" in his words naturally referring to Leng Ruoxue!

  "Your idea is really unusual! Which man doesn't hope that the woman he has a crush on will like his gift?" The young man said in puzzlement.

  "That's just a few boxes of cookies, it doesn't count as a gift, Luo Fei, your idea is strange!" the man said.

  "Maybe! Ah! The young master of the Guan Yue family, sending a gift to a woman for the first time, was actually rejected, heh heh, if those admirers of yours were to find out, I don't know how heartbroken they'd be!" Luo Fei, the man, said with a good-natured tease. Ah! From childhood to adulthood, his spotlight had always been stolen by Guan Yue Xi, today he finally got to see him make a fool of himself! It's really satisfying!

  "I've said it before, that doesn't count as a gift." Guan Yue Xi said in a low, gritted voice, Ugh! Luo Fei finally saw his joke today, how annoying!

  "Zero! Go and find out what's going on with them!" Kagami Hiiro commanded into the void.

  However, no one responded, and the only reply was a gentle breeze...

  After leaving Piaoxiang Village, the three people and one beast arrived at the most prosperous street in Guanyue City. Although it was not evening yet, the street was already crowded with people...

  "Haha, as expected, this is indeed the most prosperous place in Guan Yue City! It's so lively!" Wu couldn't help but exclaim as she watched people coming and going.

  "Hmm, no, let's leave quickly!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat impatiently. There were too many people on the street, and a crowd had already gathered around them, discussing and speculating!

  "Wow, that woman is so beautiful!"

  "Yes, if she participates in the flower appreciation meeting, I will definitely vote for her."

  "Those two men are so handsome! If I could marry one of them, I'd die without regret!" The speaker is obviously a flower idiot.

  "You're not even worthy of holding someone else's shoes." The moment Hua Chi finished speaking, another woman's disdainful voice immediately rang out!

  "Wang Xiaohua, who do you say is not worthy? Am I not worthy, are you worthy? Hmph! You don't even take a mirror to reflect on your own character!" Huazhi immediately shouted loudly like a shrew!

  "At least I'm better looking than you!" The woman known as Wang Xiaohua retorted, unwilling to back down. The two of them started arguing right there on the street, and in an instant, the gazes of passersby shifted from Cold-as-Snow's group to the two women, watching the commotion with great interest.

  The discussions of the pedestrians on the street, as well as the quarrel between the two women, were transmitted to the ears of Leng Ruo Xue and her three companions without exception. The three of them exchanged glances, then tacitly turned around and went back the way they came...

  "Xue Er, let's hurry back to the inn! The people of Guan Yue City are really too terrifying!" Wu said with a terrified face, especially when he thought of that woman who kept saying she wanted to marry him or the demon, the hairs on his body stood up in fright!

  "Haha, men are really troublesome, but that woman can only marry you now." Leng Ruoxue teased with a light smile, hehe, it's rare to see Wu in such an embarrassing state, it's really delightful!

  "Why?" asked silly.

  "Because I'm Snow's!" The scoundrel looked at Wudao with a silly expression, his handsome face full of smugness. A man who has already been claimed by someone is indeed good.

  "Don't be so smug, Xue Er is also a big troublemaker." Wu Ti reminded.

  "What are you talking about? Xue'er is mine, whoever dares to take her from me will be destroyed!" The demoniac yelled furiously.

  "Just now gave Xue Er some pastries, seemed to be a young master or something?" Wu said with nothing better to do, his handsome face full of mischievous delight.

  "What's wrong with that? My Xue'er is so beautiful, it's normal for some sentimental men to have a crush on her." The demon said without jealousy, but in fact, he had already made up his mind. Whoever dares to compete with him for Xue'er, if they can retreat knowing the difficulty, that's fine, but if they persist in their mistake, don't blame him for being ruthless! Hmph! Who will destroy who!

  "Huh, you actually didn't get jealous." Wu said with a surprised expression, as if he had discovered new land, "This is truly too abnormal. Even Snow's beastly husband who eats vinegar normally, when facing an unfamiliar love rival, doesn't show any signs of jealousy at all. This is really too abnormal!"

  "I'd rather eat vinegar from a stranger, if I didn't, wouldn't I have been sour to death by now!" The demon said with full confidence. In fact, the reason he didn't mind eating vinegar from other men was because he knew Xue Er would never easily fall for another man. He had thought of many plans when he first stuck to Xue Er, only to discover that she was most vulnerable to acting pitiful, haha! So, it was all worth it in the end, and he successfully clung onto Xue Er!

  "Hmm! That makes sense too!" He nodded in disagreement, apparently he didn't know much about this demon.

  "Of course it makes sense! Ah, Xue Er, where else shall we go?" the demon asked with great satisfaction.

  "Let's go back to the hotel! First, let's eat something in the lobby, and then we'll rest in our room!" Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Although the food in the space was incredibly delicious, every time she arrived at a new place, she still wanted to try the local cuisine.

  "Alright, I'm starving anyway." Bing Qi nodded in agreement, tapping her little head.

  "You're just a foodie." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly. Why did Bing Qi either eat or sleep all the time?

  "Heh heh, food is heaven for the people! Sleeping is just for cultivation!" Bing Qi said matter-of-factly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with liking to eat and sleep.

  "Xue Er, let's hurry up!" Wu Dao said, he really didn't dare stay on the street any longer.

  "Hmm, haha!" Cold-as-Snow lightly laughed, nodded her head, and then the three of them directly returned to Guan Yue Lou.

  "How did you guys come back so quickly, Yuan Yue City is quite lively." The shopkeeper raised his head and saw Leng Ruoxue and the other two walking into the guest house, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

  "Hmm, it's a bit too lively, not suitable for us, we prefer to keep a low profile." Leng Ruoxue wiped the two beads of cold sweat on her forehead and sighed, if only they had known that the people of Guan Yue City were so crazy, they wouldn't have come out.

  "Haha, the Hundred Flowers Conference is about to take place, and the emotions of the people are now at their highest! The shopkeeper saw that the three of them had somewhat unnatural expressions, and couldn't help but say with a hint of realization, "Ah! With these three people's appearances, they will definitely be surrounded by onlookers when they go out! He forgot to remind them earlier!"

  "Yes, boss, we want to eat something. What's good to eat, just bring it up." Leng Ruoxue said straightforwardly, then the three of them found a window seat and sat down.

  "Alright, just a moment, everyone." The shopkeeper hastily said, then called over an attendant and whispered some instructions.

  A few minutes later, the dishes were served one after another.

  "These are all our signature dishes, please enjoy your meal!" The shopkeeper said politely and then turned around to leave.

  As soon as Zhanggui left, Bingji hastily jumped onto the dinner table, picked up a large chicken leg and started eating it voraciously.

  Leng Ruo Xue only tasted a few bites of each dish and then stopped using her chopsticks, as did Yao Yu and Wu.

  "Doesn't the dish suit your taste?" The shopkeeper, seeing that Leng Ruoxue and her two companions had only taken a few bites of their food, couldn't help but walk over with a puzzled expression to ask.

  "Not really, none of us are very hungry!" Leng Ruoxue said with some helplessness. Alas! It seems that in the eyes of the shopkeeper, the dishes at Guan Yue Lou were not satisfactory to them except for Bing Ji.

  "Oh!" The shopkeeper responded with a somewhat depressed tone, Alas! It seems that except for the little dog which was starving, everyone else had eaten their fill and wasn't hungry at all!

  At this time, the waiter brought up another exquisite pastry and placed it in front of Cold Snow and others.

  "Three of you, these pastries taste very good, you can try them." The shopkeeper said, looking at Leng Ruo Xue and the others with a hopeful expression.

  "Good!" Under the cashier's hopeful gaze, Leng Ruo Xue steeled herself and took a small piece of white pastry into her mouth...

  "Miss, how is it?" The shopkeeper couldn't help but ask.

  "Not bad at all." Leng Ruoxue praised, although the dishes in Guan Yue Lou were just average to her, but this dessert was really good, with a rich milky flavor and melted instantly when entering the mouth, neither too sweet nor greasy.

  "Haha, as long as the young lady likes it." The shopkeeper said happily.

  "Meng Zhanggui, didn't you say there was no milk powder left? Why does she have some?" Before Leng Ruxue could respond, a spoiled female voice rang out beside their ears.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in red standing at the staircase, who was very beautiful. However, the angry expression on her delicate and pretty face ruined this beauty.

  Alas! Here we go again, Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. She was somewhat perplexed as to why they always seemed to run into troublemakers every time they ate in the inn's main hall.

  "This is the last one, it's specially left for Miss Leng." The shopkeeper said frankly, and couldn't help but slightly frown, hiding his disgust.

  "What's with the surname Leng? You think just because you have the same surname as the Leng family, you can associate yourself with them?" The woman in red clothes shouted at Leng Ruoxue with a scornful face, but her eyes betrayed her own jealous thoughts.

  "I've said it before, do I have a relationship with the Leng family? The Leng family is the Leng family, and I am me." Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat displeased. Originally, arguing with such a madwoman would be a loss of dignity, but that woman actually dragged in the Leng family, which was simply unreasonable. What she least wanted was to be associated with the Leng family.

  "Hmph! I think you and the Leng family won't have any relation either." The red-clothed woman said with great satisfaction, then glared fiercely at the shopkeeper and shouted: "Do you know who I am? If anyone is to be left behind, it should be for me. What right does she have?"

  "Miss Wu Qianer, Miss Leng is a distinguished guest of our humble inn. She's staying in the luxury suite." The shopkeeper said with a tone as flat as his eyelids, which didn't even bother to lift.

  "Deluxe suite? I don't believe it, can she afford it?" Wu Qianer didn't believe the shopkeeper's words, in her opinion, the shopkeeper was clearly just making excuses for that woman who had snatched her milk cake!

  "Miss Wu doesn't believe me, and I can't do anything about it." The shopkeeper said indifferently. Humph! Did Wu Qian'er really think that the position of Young Master's wife in the future Guan Yue family was a done deal? One should know that everything is subject to change at any time.

  "What the hell is your attitude?" Wu Qian'er said, extremely angry, and couldn't help but curse in her heart. Humph! He's just a hotel owner, how dare he treat her like this? When she becomes the young mistress of the Guan Yue family, he'll be the first one to be dealt with!

  "Miss Wu, of course I'm using a customer service attitude." The shopkeeper said disapprovingly.

  "Do...do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like a guest!" Wu Qian'er asked again, still fuming with anger.

  "Miss Wu, you are the daughter of the Wu family, a guest at Guan Yue Lou, I know very well." The shopkeeper explained.

  "You..." Wu Qian'er was so angry that she couldn't speak, hum! She is the future young mistress of the Guan Yue family, and this damned shopkeeper actually pretended to be stupid! It's really infuriating her!

  "Damn it, that's my pastry, you can't eat it." Wu Qian'er took a deep breath, calmed down, and was about to defend her future position and argue with the shopkeeper, but found that Leng Ruo Xue had put another piece of milk cake into her mouth, and what's more, right in front of her. This was clearly a provocation by Hong Guo Guo! So, she immediately got angry!

  "Is Miss Wu speaking to me?" Cold as snow, she smiled without smiling at Wu Qianer, her absolutely beautiful face showing no joy or anger. Alas! Why did this woman have to come and provoke her?

  "It's not you, who else? That's my pastry, you're not allowed to eat it!" Wu Qian'er shouted angrily, then pounced on Leng Ruo Xue!

  "Get out!" The demoness looked at the woman who pounced on Xue'er with great disdain, and without any tenderness, directly kicked her flying. Hmph! Anyone who dares to bully Xue'er, regardless of whether they're male or female, will be destroyed!

  Wu Qian'er, who was completely unprepared mentally, was kicked flying by the demon and rolled several times in the hall before tumbling out of the inn's gate under everyone's watchful eyes...

  "Awesome!" Wu Zan exclaimed, he also wanted to take action, but was preempted by this demon. Alas! Unlucky woman, why did she have to touch the soft spot of this wife-protecting madman?!

  "Hmm!" Leng Ruo Xue watched as Wu Qian'er rolled out of the inn with a grey face, in an extremely embarrassing posture. She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Is this a case of murder caused by a pastry? That kick from the demon girl wasn't light! Actually, she didn't take that woman seriously at all, but as for protecting the demon girl, it was still quite enjoyable!"

  The shopkeeper, who was very close to them, naturally saw the demon's kick clearly. He rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving what he had just seen with his own eyes. Wu Qianer had actually rolled out of the inn. This man was really too formidable, an idol!

  By the way
