712 There Is No Friendship Between Women (2/2)
Thus, they came to Ru Family Inn.
Over the past thirty years, many things have changed in Spirit Creek Town, but this inn remained the same. The two wooden doors were half-open, a little bleak and dilapidated. Wang Lu pushed the door open and saw the Lady Boss dozing off on the counter. The soft snoring was particularly clear in the quiet shop.
In a flash, Wang Lu was in a trance. In his eyes there was another scene, the inn was full of imperial relatives from all over the Nine Regions. They were competing with each other in the Immortal Gathering. And the bright girl behind the counter was thrilled by this rare traffic...
After taking a breath and converging his thought, Wang Lu took a few steps and came to the counter. He then put down a large piece of silver while saying, ”Girl, get up, you have a guest here.”
The next moment, the girl woke up from her sleep. But when she was coming to her senses, unexpectedly, a fist was coming straight at her face. It was Wang Lu who was sending his fist while laughing out loud. The result was, with a loud thump came a muffled sound. The entire person was sent flying back ten meters away and then landed on the ground after one backflip.
After shaking his sore wrist, Wang Lu sighed. ”Sure enough, it's easy to forget things. Unexpectedly, I didn't remember that your iron fist can break ten thousand skills.”
”Hey, hold up your face and come here, let me make you profoundly remember it… By the way, what are you doing here?”
The Lady Boss obviously woke up with a vengeance on the rare visitor. However, when she saw the girl next to Wang Lu, she suddenly put up her welcoming a guest smile. ”Ma'am, are you coming to eat or stay at the inn?”
Wang Lu sighed. ”Changing your face like that in front of a guest, don't you have any shame? We come here to eat, so bring out your special dishes.”
The Lady Boss responded with an enthusiastic 'right away' and immediately went to the kitchen. After a while, she said, ”There are cooked rice, salt and well water left in the kitchen. How about I cook you rice soaked in salt?”
”... The Inn that has an average daily turnover of one million is operated to you like this. It is also a matter of course.
”Hmph, I'm happy with that!”
While the two of them were arguing, suddenly Senior Gem Emperor looked at the Lady Boss and said, ”Nine-tailed Fox?”
The Lady Boss sighed. ”You can see it? You have a good eyesight. For many years, no one has ever seen the little guy in my body at a glance. But, don't be afraid, the seal is tight and it won't break.”
However, instead of paying attention to her, Senior Gem Emperor turned to Wang Lu and asked, ”Why would Spirit Sword Sect offer the Nine-Tailed Fox a shelter very close to it? It's an untamable evil beast, a source of disaster.”
Wang Lu said, ”In any case, it is now sealed in her body. It doesn't matter as long as the disaster does not happen. Moreover, look at this seal carrier.” With that, he reached out to Lady Boss. ”Look at how beautiful she is? She's young, pretty, versatile, and an iron fist that can break ten thousand skills.”
Being praised as young and beautiful, Lady Boss obviously blushed. However, she tried to put on an unhappy look and snorted. ”Boring.” She then paused and said, ”I'll go buy some ingredients for me to cook for you two.”
Wang Lu smiled and said, ”Okay, I haven't tasted your craft for a long time.”
However, Senior Gem Emperor's cold voice came, ”No, I don't have the habit of mingling with the Nine-tailed fox at the same table.”
Hearing this, the Lady Boss was dumbfounded, and her expression became a bit complicated, more bewildered than irritated.
As the seal carrier of the Nine-tailed fox, she had encountered some strange eyes over the years. However, such blatant discrimination and exclusion were really rare.
Even the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect who were most hurt by the Nine-tailed fox were polite to her. In fact, as the seal carrier, she bore the risk of the break out of the Nine-tailed Fox. Moreover, she also bore the side effect of not being able to cultivate. In short, she should be the one that deserved sympathy. So, what reason was there for her to be discriminated against?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the restaurant had quickly turned awkward, Wang Lu sighed and said toward Senior Gem Emperor, ”You want me to take you to visit Spirit Sword Sect? No problem. But please show the proper gesture of a visitor. When you should not talk, close your mouth.”
For this unapologetic reprimand, Senior Gem Emperor did not take it seriously. Slightly arching her mouth, she said, ”Your sect's affair is certainly not my business, but the Nine-tailed fox is always a bad omen since the Age of Desolation, good luck with that.”
After that, she got up and left, heading for Spirit Sword Mountain. Wang Lu apologized to Lady Boss, but he could not help but keep up.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
It was just that, after some time she hastily left. Wang Lu didn't notice the indescribable faint haze that appeared on Senior Gem Emperor's face.
