Or perhaps it's something like, "I never imagined the Eastern Initiator would come to a small place like mys; how novel!"
But now you've asked me, "Have you eaten?" How am I supposed to answer that? It's putting me in a really difficult position!!!
Chapter 157 Dongfang Bubai Moves In, New Features Unlocked!
The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Dongfang Bubai was stunned for a moment, and then, as if possessed, replied with a question.
"not yet."
"Would you like something to eat?"
"it is good."
After saying that, Dongfang Bubai actually floated down from the top of the bamboo.
When Li Chengqian handed him the roasted sweet potato, Dongfang Bubai paused for a moment, but didn't mind the black ash on it and took it directly.
Staring at the roasted sweet potato in his hand, Dongfang Bubai remained lost in thought for a long time.
How many years!
It had been so many years since anyone had spoken to me like that.
People who know his identity are either afraid of him or wary of him; no one ever treats him as an ordinary person.
Slender, fair fingers carefully peeled away the charred skin, revealing the golden sweet potato with a delightful aroma.
Take a gentle bite, and the sweet flavor will burst in your mouth.
At that moment, Dongfang Bubai suddenly felt that roasted sweet potatoes were the most delicious thing in the world.
Because at this moment, Dongfang Bubai felt that he was no longer a member of the martial arts world.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment before Dongfang Bubai quickly regained his senses.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Even if you have Jian Jiuhuang protecting you, I am still confident I can kill you."
Faced with Dongfang Bubai's question, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes.
Why would you kill me for no reason?
Dongfang Bubai's lips curled up slightly.
"Since you know who I am, you should know my name even more."
"Does a demon need a reason to kill?"
Li Chengqian threw away the sweet potato peel in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said.
Whether you kill someone or not is none of my business, and how many people you kill is also none of my business.
"For you, I only care about one thing."
Seeing Li Chengqian's nonchalant demeanor only fueled Dongfang Bubai's curiosity.
"what's up?"
"You saw the rent prices at the entrance, right?"
"I wonder what kind of room the Eastern Cult Leader would like to stay in?"
"Hahaha!"
Dongfang Bubai burst into laughter.
"Interesting. I never imagined there was such an interesting person as Mr. Li in this world."
"I'm not really interested in inns, but I wonder if I could stay here?"
Dongfang Bubai pointed with his right hand toward Li Chengqian's private residence.
A small courtyard in a bamboo grove.
Although it is called a bamboo grove courtyard, it is actually not "small" at all.
This courtyard covers a vast area and has more than twenty rooms.
The surrounding lush bamboo forest adds to its tranquility.
"Yes, of course, but you'll need to take care of some things when you check in."
"So, you'll be in charge of sweeping from now on, okay?"
"Also, when the storytelling venue is open, if you want to stay at an inn, the price can be calculated separately."
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's request, Dongfang Bubai looked at him with surprise.
No, shouldn't you treat me with extra courtesy given my status as a guest?
You actually made me sweep the floor for you? What do you take me for? Your maid?
I absolutely will not agree!
However, while one high priest might say no in his heart, he was quite honest in his words.
"no problem!"
"Alright, since the Eastern Cult Leader has agreed, then congratulations to the Eastern Cult Leader for officially becoming the first tenant of the Bamboo Forest Courtyard."
"The rooms are all empty. Master Dongfang can just pick one he likes."
After saying that, Li Chengqian got up and walked towards his room, with Old Huang following his young master eagerly.
Staring at Li Chengqian's retreating figure, Dongfang Bubai remained lost in thought for a long time.
This person has a very peculiar feeling, but he can't quite put his finger on it.
After reading Snowy Mountain, Dongfang Bubai thought Li Chengqian was a learned and talented man skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Or perhaps they were impoverished members of an official family.
But after meeting him, he realized that he hadn't guessed any of his guesses correctly.
He possesses both the carefree spirit of a chivalrous knight-errant and the ethereal grace of a celestial being.
This made Dongfang Bubai feel a sense of comfort about Li Chengqian that was hard to describe.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai's lips curled up.
"Since it's so interesting, we might as well stay a few more days."
Back in his room, Li Chengqian finally couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.
Wow! Is this the kind of income the strong get?
Just as Dongfang Bubai agreed to check in, a series of notification sounds popped up in Li Chengqian's mind.
"Ding! The first martial arts expert to check into the inn has gained 5000 popularity points."
"Ding! The inn has its first long-term tenant. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title of 'Management Expert' and unlocked the inn management function. You will gain 5 popularity points per hour."
Upon seeing these prompts, Li Chengqian almost went out and kissed Dongfang Bubai.
If it weren't for her, I don't know when I would have discovered these features.
After calming himself down, Li Chengqian put aside the trivial matter of 5000 popularity points for the time being.
Then they began to carefully study the situation of long-term tenants.
You get 5 popularity points per hour, which is 120 popularity points per day.
It doesn't look like much at first glance, but this is just one person!
Once the reputation of Ping An Inn spreads, I'll use that as an excuse to recruit more of those weary martial arts masters.
At that time, I can increase my strength even while lying down.
Furthermore, the "inn management function" solved my immediate problem.
Its function is very simple: it is only used when someone breaks the rules of the inn and causes trouble.
At this point, the inn will buff itself, and the buff power will be roughly ten times stronger, which is barely enough.
After figuring out these new features, Li Chengqian happily took a nap.
Li Chengqian: Cultivation? Are you kidding me? In this situation, why aren't you lying down?
From now on, no one will be allowed to speak loudly in front of me!
Under the blazing sun, a large group of people stood on the wide road.
The magnificent inn was just a stone's throw away, but no one dared to take another step forward.
These people were the onlookers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the江湖客 (jianghu people, martial arts practitioners) who were escorting Li Xunhuan.
Taking one more step forward, the group would have entered the territory of the Valley of Villains.
Everyone's attention was focused on Long Xiaoyun.
Although no one spoke, Long Xiaoyun understood everyone's thoughts perfectly.
"You go first, we'll be right behind you!"
Long Xiaoyun:
You bunch of old fogies, I'm truly impressed.
He glanced at Lin Shiyin beside him, then at Li Xunhuan, whose expression remained indifferent.
In order not to be outdone by Li Xunhuan, Long Xiaoyun gritted his teeth and stepped into the territory of the Valley of Villains.
Chapter 158 Little Fish, the Migrant Worker! Li Xunhuan Comes to Visit!
Long Xiaoyun walked ahead, and the group of Jianghu heroes from the Ming Dynasty cautiously followed him into the territory of Evil Man Valley.
We were on high alert throughout the entire process.
Besides the martial arts practitioners, some ordinary people also joined in.
These people are all booksellers from the Ming Dynasty. Last time, the guys from the Song Dynasty got their hands on the latest version of the novel "Snowy Mountain".
They sold out instantly!
Although I had been blindly following the trend, the biggest piece of the pie was ultimately eaten by the Song Dynasty guys.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we can't let it slip away.
