3 My Spirit Root is as Big as a Radish (2/2)
Obviously, the elderly man and the Lady Boss were familiar with each other. The elderly man talked with her as he drank his wine. Although the Lady Boss did not look interested in the least bit, she still patiently and quietly listened. The other people in the hall listened carefully for any clues because they have seen Wang Lu's best room ticket and listened to his story on how he got it.
After the elderly man finished drinking his wine, he wiped his lips and prepared to leave. However, the people gathered in the lobby had not found out any information from listening to his prattle.
”Huh?”
As he was about to leave, the elderly man suddenly turned around and sniffed the air. He turned his head towards the second floor. ”This smell... whose idiot kid is that? He actually dares to eat something!”
The Lady Boss also frowned and sniffed the air. ”Spirit Root Development Pills? Strange, could it be him?”
”Huh? Who?”
The proprietress stared at him coldly. ”A guest in the best room.”
”Oh, best room? Which best room?”
The Lady Boss contemptuously responded, ”Do you think I have a lot of best rooms here?” She frowned again, ”No, I need to go and take a look...”
The elderly man was stunned. ”It's not that serious... is it?”
The Lady Boss hesitated for a few moments. ”You're right, if I go up there without any good reason, it would seem like a harassment... In that case, I'll go and offer him some 'Daughter's Red Wine'.”
After saying this, the Lady Boss extended her slim and jade-like fingers as she firmly lifted up an enormous wine jar. Afterwards, she walked up the stairs. The elderly man thought for a moment and followed her.
In the lobby, the people looked at each other, but no one dared to go up the stairs to follow the two.
They would surely die if that enormous wine jar was smashed on their faces.

”For a mortal to become an Immortal Cultivator, there's only one path. However, when did I ever say that I was an ordinary mortal?”
”Young Master, you... have a spirit root?”
Just as the Lady Boss reached the door, she heard Wang Lu and Wang Zhong's conversation. She secretly laughed to herself.
It seemed that she had misunderstood. That remarkable person who had completed those twelve incredibly toilsome tasks to receive the best room ticket definitely wouldn't want to ruin his own future by taking the Spirit Root Development Pills. It was just that she had misunderstood and overreacted.
Thus, it was not necessary for her to go and ”offer” this worth-five-thousand-liang-jar of Daughter Red Wine since it was a misunderstanding on her part... ”Huh, why not sell it to that reserved and shrewd Hai Yunfan downstairs, it would be a shame not to rip him off!”
The Lady Boss turned around and was about to leave, but then she heard the voice in the room continue to speak.
”Young Master, if I may ask, what kind of spirit root... do you have?”
The Lady Boss slowed down her footsteps as her curiosity was aroused.
”Of course it's the Heavenly Spirit Root.”
Her hands trembled, and the jar of wine nearly smashed down onto her foot.
Heavenly Spirit Root?!
Behind her, the elderly man's head abruptly turned around, his face full of surprise. He deeply gazed towards the room, his muddy eyes glittered with lights. He then laughed, ”The quality is indeed impressive, but... Heavenly Spirit Root?”
”Does he think Heavenly Spirit Roots are as common as radishes!?”
