As they spoke, Chun Sanniang, carrying the Glazed Water Glass Beast she had swindled from Lin Qi'er, and Wu Xiang on the back of two large brown horses, sped off towards the north.

Chun Sanniang and Wu Xiang had a cultivation technique to protect their bodies, allowing them to not eat nor drink for a few days. However, this was not good for horses, if they did not find a place to rest and replenish their bodies, the two horses might either die from exhaustion or from thirst.

Chun Sanniang predicted that she wouldn't be able to catch up to him if he was as cold as ice, so she slowed down.

The wind gradually picked up, blowing the black silk of Chun Sanniang into a disorderly state. However, within the disarray, there was an increasing amount of seductive charm to her. Wu Xiang looked at her with infatuation.

"Why are you looking at me?" Chun Sanniang asked as she stroked her messy hair and looked at him out of the corner of her eyes.

Wu Xiang turned his head and looked to the side, but did not say anything.

Chun Sanniang teased Wu Si and smiled. With a teasing tone, she said, "I say, you can't be interested in me now, right?"

Wu Xiang looked into the distance, but he still didn't say anything.

Seeing the situation, Chun Sanniang sighed and said, "Sigh … It's true that you can't poke a fart out of three cones. Forget it, I won't tell you about it, but I have to remind you that it's best if you don't have any thoughts towards me. Otherwise, you will be doomed to never recover."

There was no response. It was so quiet that only he could hear it.

At first it was just a breeze, but gradually, the wind got stronger and stronger. It was running wildly in the open wilderness and the smell of rain hit his nose. When Chun Sanniang looked up, she saw a large black cloud rushing over from the north. The lightning and fire were moving back and forth between the thick clouds like dragons.

"From the looks of it, it might be raining." She muttered in her heart, "I have to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible."

Chun Sanniang treasured her skin the most. She did not want to end up in a sorry state like a drowned chicken.

"Pimi ka ka ~ ~"

A loud sound came from the sky and shook the earth until it seemed as if it was about to shake.

Chun Sanniang looked around and saw nothing but barren land. There was not even a tree in her line of sight.

"What should we do now?" Chun Sanniang looked around anxiously.

At this time, Wu Xiang pointed forward and shouted, "Sanniang, quickly look! There seems to be a family up ahead! "

Chun Sanniang's eyes immediately widened as she looked in the direction of Wu Xiang's finger. At the point where the sky and earth intersected, there seemed to be a small house flickering in and out under the glow of the lightning.

I didn't expect you to look like a dull person," Chun Sanniang said, a hint of a smile finally appearing on her face. Then, he waved his horsewhip. "Let's go take a look!

After riding on their horses for nearly an hour, an inn appeared before them. The inn was not big, and it was only two floors high, with about ten rooms. Some of the windows were crooked, old, and run-down, and some of the windows had already turned yellow and moldy. Some of the rooms even had no windows, just like a large black eye, staring at the two of them strangely.

Chun Sanniang glanced at the plaque which had the words "Dragon Residence Inn" written in large, vermilion lacquer.

"Hmph, what big words. You dare to call yourself a Dragon Residence Inn in such an old and dilapidated inn?" Chun Sanniang mocked.

With regards to this inn in front of her, Chun Sanniang still felt somewhat puzzled. In her memory, when she first went to the Tang Family Harbour, she had passed by this place. However, no inn had appeared here, so why did an inn suddenly appear within a few days?

"Could it be …" Thinking up to here, Chun Sanniang's feet lightly tapped on the horse's back as she leapt to the door of the inn. She gathered true energy in her hands and suddenly smacked the inn's door pillar.

"It doesn't look like an illusion." She thought to herself, "At this point of time, only Wu Xiang can use illusion techniques. How could someone else use such a move? "Looks like I have overthought things."

At this moment, a voice came from the other side of the door, "Who is causing trouble outside?"

The voice sounded weak, as if it was about to swallow a mouthful of air.

After a while, a hunchbacked old man holding a cane slowly came out from the inn. He first looked at the door pillar, then looked at the two of them, and fixed his gaze on Wu Xiang's face, asking in a low and hoarse voice: "Did you break this door pillar?"

Wu Xiang puffed out his chest. Just as he was about to reply, he heard Chun Sanniang say, "Old man, so what if I beat him up?"

"You did it?" The old man looked at her suspiciously. "What a spicy, evil woman. If you want to stay here, then stay here. Why did you break my door?" The old man was so angry that the goatee trembled.

"It's just a doorpost, I'll accompany you. I, Chun Sanniang, am not an impolite person either. Old man, as long as you are not talking nonsense and asking for a sky-high price, you can afford to pay it. " As Chun Sanniang spoke, she extended her hand towards Wu Xiang.

He hurriedly took out a money pouch and handed it over to her.

Humph, there are some things in this world that can be repaid with money, but there are some things that cannot be repaid with money. Although this inn is inconspicuous, it is built from a wooden board by this old one.

This person started nagging when he was old. The more Chun Sanniang heard, the more annoyed she became. She interrupted the old man and said, "Old man, why are you nagging so much? If you want money, just say so. Why do you need to beat around the bush?"

The old man glanced at her and repeated: "Like I said, there are some things in this world that can be repaid with money, but there are some things that cannot be repaid with money …"

At this moment, the wind got stronger. Chun Sanniang held onto the black silk that was blown around by the wind as she raised her eyes to look at the sky. The sky was already covered densely in black clouds. From the looks of it, a heavy rain was about to arrive.

Without much time to think, Chun Sanniang said, "Five liang."

"No matter how rich you are, this old man doesn't want a person like you to stay in my inn. I don't want to dirty my inn …"

"Ten liang."

"You'd better leave, you're not welcome here!"

"Twenty taels!"

The old man ignored her as he turned around and walked into the house.

"Thirty taels!"

At this moment, the old man's body slightly trembled as he resolutely said, "Alright, please follow me."

The old man's sudden change in attitude was beyond Chun Sanniang's expectations. She rolled her eyes and looked at the old man's back with the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, "Hmph, what a cunning old man. I originally thought you were a proud person, but you still couldn't help it. Hmph, that's true, who in this world would go against money? "

Chun Sanniang and Wu Xiang followed behind the old man. "Old man, give us two of the best ones …" At this point, Chun Sanniang changed the topic, "As long as it's a clean room."

That's right, why would such a shabby inn have any good rooms?
