Chapter 12-Shangguan Yan (2/2)

”It's you that won't get up in time, not me.” Xiao Han suddenly spoke.

With a chuckle, Xiao Chen waved to the counter and said, ”Two jars of wine, please. The strongest wine.”

The Three Princes were talking in a loud voice, which annoyed the others. But nobody dared to let them be quiet. All of a sudden, a bell rang out of nowhere. Then, Prince Zhao shouted, ”Holy smokes! Madame, why is there a spider in your wine?”

Xiao Chen spat out the wine in his mouth. Xiao Han said with a cold voice, ”Drink yours. It's fine.” He then drank another bowl of wine.

The shopkeeper's wife moved to Prince Zhao like wind and asked, ”Kid, what did you say?”

”I said that there's a spider in your...” Prince Zhao did not dare to continue.

The shopkeeper's wife stamped her foot on the bench, and she looked like a gloomy huge mountain. ”Kid, say it again...”

”How... How dare you! I am the prince of the State of Zhao. My ar-army is...”

”Somebody, there's someone who doesn't want to pay.” As her voice fell, two bruisers with kitchen knives came to her out of nowhere.

”Who dare to eat without paying in the Dragon Gate Inn?! You've got balls!”

Prince Zhao swallowed his saliva in fright and said with a forced smile, ”Uhh... I'm sorry. It was just a mistake...”

The shopkeeper's wife then waved and said, ”It's fine now everyone, please continue.” She then walked to the counter.

However, Xiao Chen did not dare to touch the wine jar anymore. Before long, there was another scream. Prince Zhao spat out a big number of spiders to the table, and Prince Yan spat out numerous centipedes to the table. As for Prince Qi, he spat out some unknown bugs.

The crowd was scared and ran away upon seeing this. Xiao Wan'er and Lil Ruo's faces changed. The shopkeeper's wife frowned and said, ”What the hell is going on!”

Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. ”We're done. That Ghoulish Woman really is here. How does that saying go? Being haunted by an imp, who goes from heaven to earth and follows you forever...”

Before he finished his words, a delicate little girl with an angel-like face appeared close to his face on the left side, twinkling. ”Xiao Chen, are you talking about me?”

Xiao Chen turned his head as a faint scent hit his nostrils. He forced a smile and said, ”Hi! Miss Shangguan, long time no see!”

This girl in a yellow shirt was Shangguan Yan, the very daughter of the Shangguan Family. She looked at Xiao Han and said, ”Ice face, you are here too.”

Xiao Han put his bowl on the table and stood up, saying, ”Sorry, I have something else to do. I'm going to the toilet first.” He then walked out.

”Me too. I'll go to the toilet.” Xiao Chen followed him.

Shangguan Yan turned her head and looked at Xiao Wan'er, saying, ”Sister Wan'er, you are...”

”Uhh, I forgot to wash my clothes.” She then rushed upstairs as if she had seen a ghost.

Shangguan Yan finally looked helplessly at Lil Ruo with his pitiful big eyes and asked, ”Sister Lil Ruo, am I really that horrible...”

Lil Ruo nodded blankly.

All of a sudden, the shopkeeper's wife flashed to her and said sullenly, ”Little girl, I know it's you!”

Shangguan Yan's big, pitiful eyes twinkled and then she said, ”Sis, you wronged me...”

The shopkeeper's wife reached out her hand and said, ”Are you still arguing?! Give me the bell!”

Shangguan Yan put her head on her hand and twinkled, saying, ”No... Sister, please. I know I'm wrong, alright?”

”It doesn't help. Give it to me! I'll give it back to you tomorrow!”

”Sis, you see, I've got the bell on me. What if I accidentally shake it when I take it out, and then maybe, this inn would no longer be able to host anyone in a dozen days. This is not good, right? Sis, please, I won't do that anymore...”

”You! You little girl. I concede!”

”Tee-hee, sis, don't get mad at me. I keep the bell for your sake.”

A moment later, Xiao Chen and Xiao Han quietly walked back. They looked at each other and thought, ”Strange. Why did nothing happen to this place?”

Shangguan Yan glared at them and narrowed her eyes, saying, ”What are you two sneaking around? Come greet me now!”

”Aha! Uhh, brother ice, it seems that I've drunk too much. I'm so dizzy right now.”

”Aha! Yeah, I'm so dizzy too. Let's go to our room and take some rest.”
