Chapter 434 The Innkeeper

Chapter 434 The Innkeeper

After leaving the Lingyun Canyon, Li Ye and the others walked about 10 kilometers to the north along a wide road. Then, they saw an inn, which was a small courtyard. A broken wine flag was inserted on the doorframe, fluttering in the wind.

The wine shop was built at the foot of the mountain. There was a narrow plain washed out by the Lingyun River in front of it, and there was a mountain with 2,000 years old behind it. In addition to this wine shop, there were no demons in a radius of dozens of kilometers.

Li Ye and the others walked toward this old, aging wine shop, which might collapse at any time.

This inn, which had the function of a wine shop, was named very casually, “There is an inn.” Because it was next to the Lingyun Canyon and on the roadside, it became the first choice after mortals entered the territory of the demon clan.

Approaching the door, Li Ye heard thumping sounds from the courtyard one after another. The sounds were sometimes heavy and sometimes light, without rules. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Squatting on the ground, a demon wolf in his true figure was cutting bones. A newly peeled goat was hanging on the shelf in front of him. From time to time, the blood dripped on the ground from the headless goat. There was a large pool of blood on the loess. The outside was dry, but the middle was still thick and fresh.

When Li Ye and the others entered the door, the demon wolf, whose hands were stained with blood, looked up at them with indifferent eyes, as if he had seen some stones. He didn’t intend to get up and welcome them.

A skinny demon jackal was cleaning wild vegetables in the corridor under the eaves in numbness. He didn’t even raise his head.

Under the shed in the courtyard stood a table and three benches. They were clean but empty. There was no kettle or tea bowl on the table.

As the wind blew, the tattered window paper whistled, and a piece of tile fell from the roof, shattering on the ground.

The demon wolf and the demon jackal ignored them and continued to do their own things, as if that were all and nothing else mattered.

The inn was filled with a cold, indefinable smell. The black broad-backed ax in the demon wolf’s hand fell on the goat’s head successively, adding a bit of terror.

Before Li Ye could speak, You Daxiao said with dissatisfaction, “You don’t have eyes, do you? Since guests are coming, why don’t you welcome us? Is the inn still open?”

With a thud, the ax in the demon wolf’s hand split the goat’s head into two halves, and the ax was deeply embedded in the wooden case. He suddenly looked up at You Daxiao with gloomy eyes.

You Daxiao took a step back.

The breath of cultivation from the demon wolf told people that he was at the Immortal Realm!

The Lingyun Canyon was the only way between the territory of the demon clan and the human world, and there was only one inn near it, so the inn must have a strong background.

You Daxiao became angry because of embarrassment. “What are you looking at? I’m the Son of God of Roc Demon Mountain! Stop looking at me, or I’ll twist off your head and kick it!”

The demon wolf did not speak but stood up and walked toward You Daxiao step by step. His cold eyes were shining with breathtaking murderous intents, and his body was exuding a fierce air. He didn’t care about You Daxiao’s identity at all.

Li Ye frowned slightly.

Although he had expected that You Daxiao’s identity was nothing in the demon clan, he didn’t expect that it would be so useless.

But when he thought it over, he thought that it was normal. Lots of wicked men ignored the powerful in the human world. After killing and robbing others, they ran away immediately. People were afraid of them. However, compared with the demons without the restraint of etiquette and laws, they were still far behind.

The demon clan was generally fierce and advocated freedom. They were poorly organized and had little fear of power. Strength alone was the measure of all things. You Daxiao was just in the Spiritual Master Realm, and even Red Boy couldn’t let the one who had higher cultivation respect him.

For those who killed the strong, the worst-case scenario was to conceal their identities and slip into the forest... It was nothing to the demon clan.

Seeing the demon wolf reaching You Daniao’s face, nose to nose, eye to eye, Li Ye became serious. Even Wu You was ready to fight.

“Oh! It has been a long time without a human being coming to my inn, but there are two today. It’s really a good day. No wonder I heard the magpie in the morning! Dude, why are you staring at them? Look at you! Go and get ready to cook!”

The sound was beautiful and sweet. Even though they didn’t see her, they could imagine that she was enchanting and charming.

Li Ye and the others shifted to look in the direction of the sound. At the entrance of the lobby came out an enchanting woman with gorgeous makeup. She had a good figure. She swayed as she walked. Even though she didn’t walk fast, her breasts heaved.

“Don’t stand there. Please have a seat. Although our inn is small, we have everything from wine to food. You’ll be satisfied, as long as you... can afford the price.”

The woman had a kettle and tea bowls in her hands. While greeting Li Ye and the others, she put the tea bowls on the table and poured tea for everyone.

Her eyes flitted past You Daxiao without stopping, as if You Daxiao, as a demon, couldn’t attract her special attention. Finally, her eyes lingered back and forth on Li Ye and Wu You. Somehow, her smile became brighter.

The demon wolf, who was eager to eat You Daxiao just now, turned around and went back to cut the goat’s leg without the slightest hesitation when hearing her words.

Li Ye sat down at the table. When the other side looked at him, he was also looking at her. The other side didn’t hide her movements, nor did he. “According to what you’ve said, your food and wine are very expensive?”

The innkeeper poured tea and handed it to Li Ye and the others. Then she held the table with her hands and leaned slightly forward, making the scenery of her breasts more attractive. She not only didn’t avoid Li Ye’s gaze but also revealed all her glamor, as if she was afraid that Li Ye couldn’t see it.

She looked at Li Ye with an ambiguous gaze, and her voice was full of charm. “According to your clothes and bearing, I think that you can afford the price. Actually, there are not only food and wine but also some other good things in my inn. As long as you’re willing to pay, it will be sent to your room in the evening. I promise that you will like it very much!”

At this point, the woman slightly opened her red lips and gently breathed out a wisp of hot air to Li Ye. Her small red tongue slipped on her lower lip. With a charming look and seduction on her eyes, she didn’t cover up her temptation at all.

“You demon!” Wu You couldn’t help it anymore. Her small jade-like hand slapped heavily on the table. With a bang, the whole courtyard shook. Her big watery eyes were about to spurt fire at this moment. She glared at the innkeeper, like an angry beast. “If you dare to look at my Elder Brother Ye like this again, I will tear down your house!”

When the courtyard shook, the woman’s expression changed. The demon wolf, who was carrying the goat’s leg and walking to the kitchen, and the demon jackal, who was picking vegetables in the corridor, stopped in shock and looked over there.

Strangely, however, when the whole courtyard was shaking, the wooden table didn’t crack, and there wasn’t even a crack.

Even Li Ye didn’t dare to face Wu You’s current strength.

The woman’s shock was fleeting. She looked at Wu You curiously and soon smiled again, but she no longer showed any seduction.

Covering her mouth, she giggled. “You’re very angry, little girl. It seems that you’re not a child. I’m as blind as a bat. I apologize to you. How about I go to prepare some food and wine for you now?”

She did what she said. Without stopping, she turned around and left.

But before leaving, she winked at Li Ye, which made Wu You so angry that she almost couldn’t help but start a fight.

After the woman left, Wu You looked at Li Ye earnestly. “Elder Brother Ye, don’t be confused by this old woman. She’s a demon! Although she looks beautiful now, in fact, she might be very ugly!”

Seeing Wu You being so serious, Li Ye couldn’t help laughing. But he still promised seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t be seduced by a demon fox.”

You Daxiao asked in surprise, “Your Highness, how did you know she’s a demon fox?”

Li Ye glanced at him. “I don’t know. I just said it casually.”

In all fairness, in terms of appearance and figure, this female demon was beautiful and charming. As she deliberately showed her seduction just now, she had an irresistible charm for the men at Li Ye’s age.

Even though Li Ye didn’t deliberately think about it, he still remembered her slender waist, plump hips, and long straight legs when she left. People couldn’t help but imagine how wonderful her body would be when she twisted it on the bed.

After all, demons and people were different. Li Ye didn’t know what it felt like to sleep with a demon.

Soon, the food and wine were served one by one by the innkeeper.

She was not exaggerating. The wine and food in this inn were really good. The food was rich in variety, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all kinds of vegetables, and they were delicious. The wine was good, too. Compared with the wine in the human world, it had a unique flavor.

After the meal, it was late. The innkeeper took away the dishes, and then, she came with a smile and took Li Ye and the others to the guest rooms.

It seemed that there were only three demons in the inn. The demon wolf and the demon jackal did the chores, and the innkeeper did the cooking and entertaining.

After being dissed by Wu You, the innkeeper no longer brazenly seduced Li Ye, but she didn’t stop talking. When she led them upstairs, she kept talking softly.

Because of the steps, her twisting waist and long legs were right in front of Li Ye. She didn’t deliberately magnify her movements, but she was still charming.

Of course, Li Ye and the others lived separately. Each of them lived in a room. After all, he and Wu You were not married yet.

When the moon rose up high in the sky, Li Ye was sitting in meditation. The door creaked slightly, and then the innkeeper quietly sneaked in, like a cat.

The light in the room was out, and the moon shone through the window. Li Ye opened his eyes and looked ahead.

At this time, the innkeeper wore different clothes and make-up from that in the daytime. Without wearing the thick cloth dress, she changed a piece of thin and nearly transparent gauze. The curves of her plump figure loomed in the light, and all the indescribable details were full of mysterious beauty. As she walked, people couldn’t resist the desire to explore her beauty.

With a light and suitable perfume fragrance, the innkeeper came to Li Ye. Without saying a word, she fell softly in his arms. Looking up at him tenderly, she said in a sweet tone, “Childe, you’re very handsome, just like the jade. If I can sleep with you tonight, I can die with no regrets.”

Li Ye didn’t say anything.

The innkeeper moved her plump body and changed her position. She whispered in Li Ye’s ear, “Don’t worry. Your companions are asleep. I can guarantee that they won’t wake up until dawn.”

As she spoke, she stood up and stepped back to the bed step by step, staring at Li Ye affectionately. She climbed onto his bed.

She gently pulled the quilt over her body. She twisted her body under the quilt like a water snake for a while. It seemed that she was taking off something.

Then, she stretched out her long legs without a cover. Her legs were snow-white and smooth.

Li Ye stood up.
