This morning, the Lady Boss of this inn was at the counter counting accounts. She seemed to be in good spirits and had slept very well last night. Shui Qinan and Zhu Er stood at the staircase of the second floor and swept their eyes across the place. They felt that the people in this inn were all in good spirits, as though the beast's cry last night was just an illusion.

"Lady Boss, it's so early." She walked towards the Lady Boss, and saw a flicker of astonishment in the eyes of the Lady Boss. Shui Qinan calmly said: "For the business of this huge inn to be so popular, it must be hard on you, Lady Boss."

The woman chuckled, it was not that she loathed it, but she did not want to interact with Shui Qinan. Her slender fingers quickly calculated, and her tone of voice suddenly sounded more like a merchant, "As a woman, it is already difficult for me to manage an inn this big. "If you don't work hard, my family's employees will all be drinking in the northwest wind."

Zhu Er heard that the Lady Boss's tone did not sound good, she was naturally unhappy, too. Her master was kind when he was talking to her, but she was in a weird mood, she was really despicable.

"Lady Boss, you're in really good spirits. What? Did you sleep well last night?" Zhu Er casually asked as she placed her hand on the counter and accidentally pressed on the account book in the Lady Boss's hand. The young Lady Boss then unhappily took out the account book.

Her clothes had not been changed, and even the hairpin on her head had been stuck in the exact same spot as yesterday. If not for the fact that her hair was still unflustered, Shui Qinan would have suspected that she had not slept for the entire night.

"What did you say, little girl? Naturally, I slept very well. " Following which, the Lady Boss used her red fingernails to lightly scratch the account book. The sound of her nails and the account book touching gave off a unique kind of tension in this quiet morning.

Zhu Er was startled, but just as she was about to retort, Shui Qinan used her hand to stop her, signalling her not to speak anymore. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that this Lady Boss didn't really like them. It seemed as if she had some sort of prejudice.

After a long time, the Lady Boss slowly walked towards the meticulously carved staircase. There were two large pieces of blue and white porcelain glowing beside the staircase. It seemed that the sky outside was really bright.

She took two steps in the direction of the second floor, then stopped again. She turned around, her exquisite face revealing her red lips. The sharpness in her eyes made people feel that she was not to be underestimated.

"Here's a word of advice for all of you. This place is not something you can afford to stay in. "Let's go back and forth from where we came from."

After the Lady Boss had finished speaking, she turned around, and Shui Qinan tried to get more information from her, but she only saw her waving her hand at them as she walked. It was as if she didn't want to continue. Shui Qinan was a little stunned, but she naturally did not want to stay for too long either.

Shui Qinan deeply knew what her objective for this trip was. She had come here to find the Shenlong Island, and even though this place was strange, there were no signs of a divine dragon here.

Shui Qinan didn't really have the heart to explore about the secrets here. She only wanted to find the Shenlong Island quickly so she could go back and save the Hui Jin.

"Master, it's already dawn. Why don't we go. "There's nothing much going on here." Zhu Er used her left hand to poke her right hand. She looked at Shui Qinan and said, "This Lady Boss is too serious."

Shui Qinan nodded her head. No matter what, hearing the voice of the demonic beasts last night was true, and there was no one injured in the town. Since it was the same as usual, there was no need for her to stay here any longer.

Finished speaking, Shui Qinan brought Zhu Er out of the inn after tidying up. All along the way, Shui Qinan discovered that the people in the town were abnormally meek. In the daytime, they would even speak softly, and even the hawkers that were shouting by the side of the road would speak in a hushed tone.

Faintly, he had the aura of someone making a huge ruckus.

"Master, do you think we can find the place we're looking for?" Zhu Er was a little discouraged, but she thought that as long as she followed Shui Qinan, she would be able to go anywhere. Where there was an owner, there was hope.

Zhu Er did not say that out of nowhere. Rather, Shui Qinan and Zhu Er had already left the street. However, no matter how she walked, east, south, west and north were useless. The exit of this road was still this small town.

Originally, Shui Qinan did not discover it, but since she had walked in four different directions, she could not help but believe in this evil.

"Master, it can't be that we can't leave this place, right?" Zhu Er's face dripped with sweat. They had left the inn very early in the morning, but the sun was almost up and they hadn't left yet.

Shui Qinan shook hshe head, she did not believe that there was something wrong with this evil thing. Could it be that there really was something wrong with this place? How can I not go in and out? It looked like the sun was about to set. If she didn't enter the city, he would definitely sleep in the wilderness.

"There must be something wrong with this place. Do we have to return to that place?" Shui Qinan paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of the demonic beast's cry from last night. After all, there weren't just one or two magical beasts, but one piece. The screams were too terrifying.

Zhu Er frowned, thinking back to the appearance of the inn's owner, who suddenly did not really want to enter the city anymore. But if she didn't enter the city, perhaps the magical beast's cry from last night came from outside? If they really came from outside the city, then that would explain why the people inside the city were still safe and sound.

"Master." If we don't go into the city, we might run into danger here. "Why don't we go back to the inn we stayed in last night?" Zhu Er pursed her lips and heaved a sigh of relief: "No matter what, the boss did not cause any trouble for us, and she even reminded us in good faith."

Shui Qinan paused, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and she let out a light sigh. The sky had gradually turned dark, and staying here was obviously not the wisest decision.

"Since I can't leave, I shall return and think of another way. We can't stay here forever. " Shui Qinan frowned slightly. After thinking about it, she felt that it would be safer to return to the inn. In addition, that Lady Boss seemed to know a lot of things.
