"Aiya, Lady Boss, why do you need to go through so much trouble? We'll just feed him a few packs of sweating medicine and let him sleep even deeper than a dead pig. Once he's naked, he'll belong to us!" The chef said with a savage look on his face.

"Bulls.h.i.+t, you all have pig's brains, how many times have I told you this? There are people from outside the mountains, and if you want to make money in our business, you have to be careful of the s.h.i.+ps that sail for ten thousand years. If you don't have a clear idea of the customer's background, don't mess with them, or else if you provoke a 'True G.o.d', you won't even know how you died."

"What's there to be afraid of? Cook and I are both Four Nebula martial pract.i.tioners. This kid is still young, but he's still a fledgling. How could his cultivation be high?"

"Pah!"

Just as the waiter was about to say something, he received a heavy slap to the head. He saw the Lady Boss puffing out her big chest and staring at him with her long, shapely eyebrows.

"Speak, why didn't you say anything else? Didn't you say you were full of spirit?"

"Aiya, Lady Boss, what are you saying? You're the shop's boss! What we're saying is nonsense! Please don't take offense!"

Seeing this, Yuniang said with satisfaction, "All of you be more obedient today. Tonight, when I find out more about this kid, if he is really a fat sheep, we will kill him no matter what!"

As she spoke, her gaze turned to the pair of large, azure-colored mute men. "Azure-masked Tiger, Azureface Leopard, bring some fresh meat over. Tonight, this old lady will entertain this small guest well."

The green masked man immediately nodded in agreement. The two of them turned around to look at the three crying men on the ground. They were frightened to the point that the three of them seemed to have been struck by lightning.

However, the two men with green faces walked up to the three of them. They sized them up before reaching out their hands to feel their skin and flesh, as if they were picking livestock.

In the end, the two of them chose the pale-skinned young man dressed as a scholar. One of them grabbed onto the young man's legs, the other grabbed onto the young man's arms, and lifted him up to leave!

Madam Jade slapped her nose and glared at the young scholar. Then, she instructed the two green-faced men.

"When you're about to swing down, be more gentle and quick. Let this kid enjoy himself a little longer. It's best if he can see that half of his body is gone."

As soon as Madam Jade finished her sentence, the young scholar, who had fainted due to fright, woke up once again. He struggled madly but to no avail.

With a smile plastered on her face, she turned and walked out of the woodshed!

The chef and the waiter repeatedly agreed as they raised their heads to stare at the boss's twisted waist and b.u.t.t. The two of them could not help but gulp.

After Madam Yu had walked away, the waiter rolled his eyes and poked the dazed chef with his arm. "Hey, cook, tell me, the boss isn't willing to let us do anything to that kid. Does she want to have a taste of that kid's beauty?"

The chef nodded in agreement. His eyes were full of envy.

Seeing that, the waitress scoffed, "Don't f * cking drool anymore, have you forgotten what martial arts the boss is training in? If this brat is really l.u.s.tful, I'm afraid he will be squeezed to the point where not even his bones will remain! "

The chef's face changed as he heard the words. He was terrified and didn't dare to have any more immoral thoughts …

That night, Xiang Yun was in a guest room. An oil lamp was lit on the table, silent and serene. Xiang Yun was sitting cross-legged on his bed, meditating when the door was lightly knocked.

"Sir, sir!" The owner of the inn called from outside.

However, just as her ear touched the crack in the door, the door suddenly opened without any warning!

"Lady Boss, what's the matter?"

Mistress Jade was startled by the sudden appearance of the man in front of her. She smiled and said, "Dear guest, I've brought you food and wine."

"Oh," Xiang Yun's expression was indifferent as he asked, "I don't seem to have called for wine or food."

Xiang Yun lowered his head to look at the lunchbox in Mistress Jade's hands, but he did not stop her. Instead, he opened the door and said, "Then, many thanks for the hospitality, Lady Boss!"

Madam Jade stepped into the room and closed the door behind her. She came to retrieve the steaming dishes, two meat dishes and one vegetable soup, along with a meatball soup. The fragrance and color was alluring! In addition, there was a jug of wine placed to the side. It was enough to make anyone's appet.i.te rise!

Xiang Yun glanced at her, asking, "Don't you have to go out and do business, Boss?"

She said with a wry smile, "It's not like you haven't seen it. There aren't many families in the town, and there are even less people pa.s.sing by, so of course I don't need to keep watch over the business. Now that there's finally an important guest, I will personally accompany him."

As she spoke, she closed the door to the guest room. She winked at Xiang Yun, her tone also somewhat peculiar and ambiguous.

Xiang Yun's face revealed a trace of awkwardness. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from Mistress Jade, looking a little shy. However, he was laughing in his heart.

d.a.m.n, you even started playing luring me. The brothels that I went to, I've seen more than you guys. Although you're a bit flirtatious these days, I want to see what kind of tricks you can play if you want to tempt me.

"In that case, thank you Lady Boss for your good will."

This was because she had discovered that Xiang Yun had actually only eaten the Stir-Fried Vegetables from start to finish. As for the other three dishes, he had actually not touched a single chopstick.

She picked up the wine jug and poured a cup of wine for Xiang Yun, asking, "Eh, Young n.o.ble, it's not that these dishes don't suit your tastes, but why only eat these bland and tasteless dishes and not try any of the other dishes? These are all dishes personally cooked by the old master of our inn, and they're all extremely tasty."

"Ah!" Madam Jade was stunned.

"What, the Lady Boss doesn't like to eat either?"

"Eh, it's not that young master, you misunderstood. I have a husband who has pa.s.sed away many years ago, and yesterday was his funeral. These three days, I was fasting for my deceased husband, so I can't eat this …"

Of course, Madam Jade knew what kind of ingredients were used in the meat dishes on the table. Even though she was a cruel and merciless person, she really couldn't eat these things.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Afterwards, Xiang Yun drank and ate as if nothing had happened, before casually asking this question.

"Lady Boss, this time, Dragon Town is the only place that leads to the Cold City Pa.s.s. It can be said to be an important road for the country. Logically speaking, even if Dragon Town is not a crowded place, it shouldn't be so deserted."

Mistress Jade answered, "My lord, you may not know this, but the cities in the north are mostly like this now. It's normal for cities to be in ruins due to the lack of human life."

"Oh, why is that?"

"Sigh." Madam Jade sighed and said, "Isn't it because the northern borders are getting more and more tense?"

"This is the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s!" Madam Jade nodded.

"How is this possible?" Xiang Yun's movements grew more and more shocked.

Although this fellow was very annoying, Xiang Yun had no choice but to admit it. He was very powerful and had many tricks up his sleeve, especially in the army. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to have rendered so much military merits by leading troops into battle.

The cold city gate that he was guarding should be impregnable.

The Cold City Pa.s.s was located in the extreme north of the Land of Han-Yang. Ten years ago, the great war between the barbarian race and the Southern invaders had started at the Cold City Pa.s.s.

The barbarian army had broken through the south, heading straight for Dragon City. Xiang Lingtian led the Snow Wolf Cavalry to retreat, chasing them all the way out of Cold City. They even traveled several hundred kilometers to the north to kill the enemy.

In the Tiger City, the merchants of the Wind Cloud Country and the barbarian people were living in harmony and trading goods with each other. There were two countries' soldiers patrolling the town vigilantly to maintain law and order.

After more than a decade of development, the cities and towns that had once been crushed by the barbarian army began to recover. The population had increased, and the merchants had also developed their businesses. They were no longer under the shadow of the smoke of war.

A group of barbarian bandits had suddenly ma.s.sacred a large number of people, including the citizens of the Wind Cloud Country and over a thousand merchants of the thirteen countries. This had caused a great disturbance in the Tiger City and the Cold City Pa.s.s.

At this moment, rumors spread that the barbarian army was going to attack the State of Feng Yun again. The people of the northern region were panic-stricken.
