This morning, the Lady Boss of this inn was at the counter counting accounts. She seemed to be in good spirits and had slept very well last night. Shui Qinan and Zhu Er stood at the staircase of the second floor and swept their eyes across the place. They felt that the people in this inn were all in good spirits, as though the beast's cry last night was just an illusion.

”Lady Boss, it's so early.” She walked towards the Lady Boss, and saw a flicker of astonishment in the eyes of the Lady Boss. Shui Qinan calmly said: ”For the business of this huge inn to be so popular, it must be hard on you, Lady Boss.”

The woman chuckled, it was not that she loathed it, but she did not want to interact with Shui Qinan. Her slender fingers quickly calculated, and her tone of voice suddenly sounded more like a merchant, ”As a woman, it is already difficult for me to manage an inn this big. ”If you don't work hard, my family's employees will all be drinking in the northwest wind.”

Zhu Er heard that the Lady Boss's tone did not sound good, she was naturally unhappy, too. Her master was kind when he was talking to her, but she was in a weird mood, she was really despicable.

”Lady Boss, you're in really good spirits. What? Did you sleep well last night?” Zhu Er casually asked as she placed her hand on the counter and accidentally pressed on the account book in the Lady Boss's hand. The young Lady Boss then unhappily took out the account book.

Her clothes had not been changed, and even the hairpin on her head had been stuck in the exact same spot as yesterday. If not for the fact that her hair was still unflustered, Shui Qinan would have suspected that she had not slept for the entire night.

”What did you say, little girl? Naturally, I slept very well. ” Following which, the Lady Boss used her red fingernails to lightly scratch the account book. The sound of her nails and the account book touching gave off a unique kind of tension in this quiet morning.

Zhu Er was startled, but just as she was about to retort, Shui Qinan used her hand to stop her, signalling her not to speak anymore. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that this Lady Boss didn't really like them. It seemed as if she had some sort of prejudice.

After a long time, the Lady Boss slowly walked towards the meticulously carved staircase. There were two large pieces of blue and white porcelain glowing beside the staircase. It seemed that the sky outside was really bright.

She took two steps in the direction of the second floor, then stopped again. She turned around, her exquisite face revealing her red lips. The sharpness in her eyes made people feel that she was not to be underestimated.

”Here's a word of advice for all of you. This place is not something you can afford to stay in. ”Let's go back and forth from where we came from.”

After the Lady Boss had finished speaking, she turned around, and Shui Qinan tried to get more information from her, but she only saw her waving her hand at them as she walked. It was as if she didn't want to continue. Shui Qinan was a little stunned, but she naturally did not want to stay for too long either.

Shui Qinan deeply knew what her objective for this trip was. She had come here to find the Shenlong Island, and even though this place was strange, there were no signs of a divine dragon here.

Shui Qinan didn't really have the heart to explore about the secrets here. She only wanted to find the Shenlong Island quickly so she could go back and save the Hui Jin.
