Soaring the Heavens

Main Text Chapter 510 Four in One Nest

(Thanks to Mr. Ziyang for the first red reward on 9.12, here is an extra chapter! They are all so fierce, they are all untied, I only found out after looking at the backstage records at night!)

I can't count how many houses there are here, and I can't see the end at a glance. Most of them are small in size, and almost all of them are shabby. You don't know until you see them. You can tell at a glance that the scale of Fengyun Inn is definitely luxurious here. There is no house close to each other, at least they are kept a distance of dozens of meters, and the orientation of the houses is not uniform. The gates are opened in whichever direction they want. The only common point is that they all avoid low-lying areas.

It can be described as a poor and messy city. There are no roads in the city. All the houses are built in the desert. It can also be said that the places between the houses are roads.

Occasionally, you can see dragon horses running around, and pedestrians on the road walk silently. It is rare to see people walking in groups of three or two. The whole city is very quiet, and the thin clouds and mist are floating about ten feet above the ground, making this area seem peaceful and ethereal.

Miao Yi found it hard to believe that such a quiet and peaceful place was a well-known dangerous place that made the monks of the six countries afraid of it.

How could the Netherworld Dragon Boat appear in such a place? Where should he go to inquire? Where is the branch of the Fairyland Chamber of Commerce here? Before coming here, he had been told by his superiors that he would go to the Fairyland Chamber of Commerce to contact people as soon as he had news.

He didn't know whether he should go out for a walk. Not to mention whether he could keep his promise that the "swarm of bees" would not touch him, but there must be people who wanted to kill him. As long as he walked out of the Fengyun Inn, he would be in danger.

After thinking about it, he decided to wait until the decree from the Water Palace arrived before making a decision. It would take ten days for the news to arrive. Although the price of living here is a bit ridiculous, it is still no problem to live here for a few years with his own financial resources.

Miao Yi looked around and his eyes were on the "third floor" of the inn, a small house that stood alone on the roof of the second floor. He didn't know who lived there. Was it the proprietress?

Miao Yi didn't know. He had no intention to find out. If the proprietress was really the owner of this place, then the superiors might not take him seriously. He turned over and jumped to the corridor facing the courtyard on the second floor, opened the door and entered his room, and returned to the bed to practice cross-legged.

Not long after he returned to the room, a waiter brought two large wooden barrels. They were filled with warm water. He stepped on the circular wooden ladder and went to the outside of the small house on the roof. He put down a wooden barrel, knocked on the door with one free hand, and said, "Madam Boss!"

There was a lazy "hmm" from inside. There was a click, the sound of the bolt opening. The waiter pushed the door open and came out empty-handed in a moment, closing the door.

The sound of water splashing soon came from the small house, as if someone was bathing and getting water.

About half an hour later, the windows that were tightly closed on all sides were pushed open one by one. A bright and charming woman stood in front of the window, her black hair loosely tied behind her head, a strand of black hair hanging down from her ears to her shoulders, without any decoration, her face was like lotus, her eyebrows were like willows.

She took two wooden wedges from the windowsill with her slender hands and wedged them under the windows that opened on the left and right to prevent them from being blown shut by the wind.

The room suddenly became bright. The woman sat in front of the dressing table, took a comb, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and then opened the door. A pair of exquisite yellow embroidered shoes with cloud patterns stepped over the threshold, walked out slowly, and strolled on the roof of the second floor. Bright eyes looked around.

She wore a slightly transparent red vest on her upper body, and the high-rise bra was faintly visible inside. The soft and exposed shoulders were covered with a light blue gauze, which fluttered gently in the breeze. Thin green gauze lining. Under the short vest, the willow waist is so soft that people can't help but want to hug it. The navel sunken in the smooth abdomen is faintly visible in the green gauze, which makes people unable to extricate their eyes.

The perky buttocks are wrapped in a green pleated gauze skirt. The edges of the skirt are uneven, and small golden beads are hanging on it. They flicker in the firelight. The slight weight pulls the edge of the skirt, making her buttocks more perky when she walks, and the outline of her thighs is also reflected when she walks.

The serpentine curves of the front and back are not a trace of fat where it should be thin, and the plump places make people's heart beat. The skin is smooth and delicate, but it is that kind of wheat color. The bold and revealing clothes are strong and clear in color. The charm is full of unrestrained wildness, and a strong exotic style.

It is not someone else, but the proprietress that Miao Yi met in Miaofa Temple. The style is still the same, standing in this windy and sandy place adds a touch of brightness.

The waiter who delivered water came up again soon, went into the house and carried two buckets of bathing water downstairs.

The proprietress stood quietly in the breeze for a while, until the sun jumped out of the golden edge, then turned back and walked down the stairs. She first walked around the doors of the guest rooms in the corridor on the second floor, then walked around the first floor and the courtyard below, and then went into the kitchen to check.

This is her daily routine. As long as she is here, she has nothing to do, day after day, and has never changed.

Several young cooks are busy in the kitchen, and the chef is nowhere to be seen. The proprietress asked calmly: "Where are the cooks?"

"In the front hall." A young cook replied respectfully.

The proprietress glanced around, turned around and left, and went straight through the courtyard to the front hall with tables.

As soon as she appeared, the few dining guests in the hall immediately turned back to look at her, and their eyes never left her figure. They are all regular customers here, and they are familiar with the pattern of her appearance. Although they can't eat, it's good to have the opportunity to feast their eyes.

The proprietress was obviously used to this. When she passed a table, she wiped it to see if it was clean. When she looked back, she saw four people crowded behind the counter, all looking at her with strange expressions.

If Miao Yi were here at this time, he would know these four people. They are the Confucian scholar, the cook and the two leg lifters that he met in Miaofa Temple.

The landlady walked to the counter, knocked on the table, and asked strangely: "Why are you four crowded here together?"

The four of them shook their heads together and said in unison: "Nothing was done."

The landlady didn't believe it, so she walked to the entrance on one side, waved her hand and said rudely: "Get out of here!"

The four of them immediately filed out of the restaurant. The proprietress walked into the counter and was rummaging around, trying to find out what was wrong with them.

Little did he know that several people were secretly transmitting messages.

"Will the boy come out?"

"I don't know. It would be fun if I bumped into the boss lady."

"That guy didn't know the identity of the landlady back then. If he knew it now... Do you think the landlady would kill him and silence him if he recognized him?"

"That's not the case. The boss lady wouldn't bear this grudge. What's more, she asked for it back then. She lost her temper after being eaten to pieces. I'm worried that if she bumps into that kid later, she will think it's us who are causing trouble. . ”

"This is quite possible. I thought I would make a joke about it when I came back. My dear, I have been cleaning the inside and outside of the inn for a year."

These four people are crowded here to watch a good show, which is quite boring. But it is indeed boring. Staying here all year round is indeed boring and lonely. When you have fun, it immediately feels like you have encountered a great joy. What's more, it's a rare opportunity to see the boss's wife in trouble! See you once and earn once.

The proprietress who was rummaging around behind the counter didn't notice anything suspicious. She walked around in front of the four of them and sneered: "Tell me the truth, what exactly do you want to do? Don't tell me now, wait until I find out. It will be interesting to you."

The four of them smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to do anything!"

The proprietress raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the shopkeeper's counter. Your cook is not in the kitchen, and you, a mason and a carpenter, are all here to crowd the counter. What's your intention?"

The cook defended: "Yesterday, the Sixth Master of the 'Swarm' was accidentally caught. Cheng Yaowei and his family all rushed here to negotiate with people. We huddled together to discuss this matter."

"Really?" The landlady looked a little suspicious. Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her, she didn't bother to talk to them anymore. She turned around and walked out of the door, then went outside to patrol the inn.

As soon as she left, the four of them huddled together and muttered for a while. With the result, the two figures quickly moved towards the backyard.

The cook got into the kitchen, and the Confucian scholar quickly came to the door of Miao Yi's room and knocked on the door.

When the door opened, Miao Yi saw him and asked, "Shopkeeper, what can I do?"

"Is your stay comfortable, sir?"

"Well enough."

"It's like this. The money paid by the guest officer includes all the expenses for the day. You don't need to spend any more money for food. It's breakfast time now. I saw you weren't here, I'm afraid you don't know. So I'm here to remind you. "

So that’s it! Miao Yi murmured in his heart. It seemed that the ten thousand gold crystals were indeed spent in vain. He nodded and said, "I understand, I'm not hungry. Thank you shopkeeper for your kindness."

He turned back and took the wine pot and plate that the cook had sent last night, pushed them into the Confucian scholar's arms, and stretched out his hand to take them back.

The Confucian scholar looked at the things in his hands and was speechless. Then he raised his head and smiled and said, "Sir, I think you look familiar. Have we met before?"

Miao Yi pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Maybe, if nothing happens..." He stretched out his hand again and made a gesture of invitation.

"Oh! That's it." The Confucian scholar quickly made another excuse, "I wonder if the guest will stay for one day and then leave, or will he stay for a few more days? If you continue to stay, you might as well follow me to the front desk and pay the bill first. It’s better for me to keep the room for you, so as not to accidentally give it to other guests.”

Miao Yi thought for a moment and realized that he still had to wait for a reply from Shui Xing Palace, so he nodded and said, "Stay for a few more days."

"Then please follow me!" The Confucian scholar immediately turned around happily and finally led Miao Yi to the front hall.

The dishes he was holding were thrown directly to a waiter. The Confucian scholar quickly got behind the counter and asked Miao Yi, "How many days will you stay? You can refund more and pay less."

Miao Yi thought for a while, "Ten days!"

Ten days? The landlady was a little embarrassed, and the Confucian scholar immediately smiled and said, "Okay. Two oxen, ten days, and one hundred thousand gold crystals. You can pay for it with something of equal value."

Miao Yi made a pile of gold crystals. The Confucian scholar counted them for a while, swept them away with his sleeves, and collected them.

After confirming that everything was fine, Miao Yi just turned around and wanted to go back, when he happened to bump into a waiter bringing a bowl of noodles. He said to him with a smile: "Sir, this is our restaurant's specialty breakfast. If you haven't eaten this noodles, don't call me." Guofengyun Inn is something that every guest must try when they come here. I was about to ask you to come and taste it, but I didn’t expect you to come down. Sir, this way, please!”

The waiter put his face directly on the table next to the aisle, pulled the white towel from his shoulders to wipe the stool, and extended his hand to invite me.
