Yong Shanling was about to take out a few low - grade spirit stones for Wang Liang when Mu Yijie stepped forward with a smile, took out his phone and asked, "Alipay or WeChat?"
The smile on Wang Liang's face vanished instantly. His eyebrows shot up menacingly. He stared at them ferociously and said, "Do you think a cultivator is short of money when you offer them cash?"
Yong Shanling's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to say something, Mu Yijie reached out and tickled her palm, so she obediently shut up. After all, she was clueless about such interpersonal matters.
"Oh, but I see that there are money transactions at those small stalls around. If you insist, how about we ask the urban management?" Mu Yijie looked at the man calmly, with a playful look on his cute face.
"You... Forget it, forget it. I'm just unlucky to meet such stingy people. Ten thousand, no bargaining." A look of panic flashed across Wang Liang's face. He shouted loudly, looking guilty.
Mu Yijie hooked the corner of his mouth and transferred the money.
After getting the money, Wang Liang scurried away like a rat, glaring at them maliciously as he ran.
"Welcome!" A gentle voice rang out.
The group walked in and saw a woman in a light - yellow cheongsam, elegantly reclined on a rocking chair, smiling at them. When she saw Yong Shanling, her eyes lit up.
"Hello. I'd like to ask if you have any vacant rooms." Mu Yijie stood in front of Yong Shanling with a smile. The woman's leering eyes were so disgusting. He had seen such looks countless times.
The woman remained calm and let out a soft laugh. She said to Yong Shanling, "Sir, we still have three single rooms. If you need them, I can take you there right away."
Yong Shanling was overjoyed to see this sister being so enthusiastic towards her. She thought she was really popular. She said with a smile, "Pretty sister, don't you have any suites? There are three of us and we'd like to stay together."
Hearing the person she liked call her "sister", the woman's face froze for a second. Didn't this man know that a woman's age was a taboo?
She immediately grew a bit cold and said softly, "No."
Then she shouted loudly, "Xiaosan, come here. Show these guests to Rooms 9, 10 and 11." After saying that, she left directly.
Yong Shanling was a bit confused. She wondered what had happened. She was so enthusiastic just now! She could only shake her head and sigh: A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea.
This girl had gotten so used to acting like a man that she completely forgot she was a woman.
At night, after Yong Shanling finished washing up, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She casually wrapped a bath towel around her and walked to the door, asking, "Who is it?"
"Sir, I'm the landlady. There seems to be a problem with today's bill. I'm here to ask you about it."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yong Shanling didn't think much and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door and before she could react, she was pushed in forcefully by a pair of delicate hands and pinned against the door.
"S... Sister, if you have something to say, please talk it out. I don't think I've offended you, right?" Yong Shanling looked at the landlady who was smiling strangely and felt extremely panicked.
The landlady cast aside her elegant demeanor from the day and smiled coquettishly. Her hands kept drawing circles on Yong Shanling's body as she said in a soft, tender voice, "My dear, of course you've offended me. How could you call me sister? Do I look that old?"
Yong Shanling looked at the face that was so close and stammered, "But... Your bone age is already over fifty."
The woman's facial expression froze as if by ice. She glared at Yong Shanling ferociously and said, "If it weren't for your good looks, who would like you? You're such a blockhead."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeve and left.
Only then did Yong Shanling suddenly realize that this sister had taken a fancy to her. No, that was wrong. Yong Shanling's face changed. She had taken a fancy to Uncle.
"No way. Uncle belongs to me. How dare she try to snatch Uncle from me? Fortunately, I'm here today." Yong Shanling was a bit upset at first, but then she thought that since she was in Uncle's body, she could help Uncle ward off unwanted romantic entanglements.
Don't ask her why they were unwanted romantic entanglements. Everyone except her was an unwanted entanglement. The little fairy was just that proud.
Yong Shanling tidied up, sent Uncle and Qinghe a good - night message and then went to sleep. After all, they still had things to do.
On the other side, Mu Yijie recalled what had happened today. He was both angry and amused. Although he knew that Yong Shanling would never fall for a woman, he still couldn't stand it when he saw someone looking at her with such covetous eyes.
Suddenly, he thought of the landlady's burning gaze and felt a bit annoyed. So he decided to go and check on Yong Shanling.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear some faint noises. He stopped in his tracks and stood there warily.
"Who? Come out." As soon as he said that, he felt a strong gust of wind blow by. There was a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a familiar figure touch his face.
"Knock, knock, knock - knock, knock, knock - knock, knock, knock, knock!" Yong Shanling knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from Uncle's room. She grew impatient and knocked faster.
Finally, she couldn't hold back and directly kicked the door open.
She pushed open Mu Yijie's door, but the room was empty. She reached into the quilt, and there was not a trace of warmth. Her eyes were instantly filled with fury. She angrily punched the bed hard, and the bed immediately turned to ashes.
"What's going on? Are you having sex in the middle of the night?" Jiang Yun flew into Mu Yijie's room angrily. Just as she was about to question them, she saw Yong Shanling's eyes, and all her words got stuck in her throat.
"Where is the person who lives here?" Yong Shanling stared at the woman with red - rimmed eyes.
Jiang Yun saw that the handsome and sunny man she had a crush on was so worried about that little girl. Thinking that they had come together, she felt extremely sour. She rolled her eyes and said listlessly, "How would I know? His legs are on him. Can I tie him up?"
Yong Shanling sneered, "There's not a trace of warmth in the quilt. It's obvious that he's been gone for over an hour. He would never leave without saying a word. Something must have happened to him. He disappeared in your store. If anything happens to him, I will definitely make you pay the price."
After saying that, she left directly. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Ye Qinghe standing there anxiously, looking around.
When Ye Qinghe saw Yong Shanling, his eyes lit up. He walked up to her and said, "Mr. Mu, has something really happened to Sister Shanling?"
Yong Shanling narrowed her eyes slightly. "I'm afraid he's been kidnapped. What we have to do now is to find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, he may be in danger."
