Chapter 2214: Lodging
When Duan Ye saw this, he followed immediately with his flying sword. However, the speed of his flying sword was not fast enough even though he was already flying at the fastest speed. He was unable to keep up and fell back quite a distance away.
Upon seeing this, he couldn’t help but sighed: Feng Jiu was always going to be Feng Jiu. Even though her spirit energy was sealed, and only her profound energy was available, he was still not able to keep up with her speed even if he chased after her.
In the evening, the sun on the horizon set gradually in the west and colourful clouds were spread across the sky as nightfall was about to come.
“Feng Jiu, it looks like there is a family over there. Why don’t we try lodging there for the night?” Duan Ye said and pointed to a courtyard in front of him not too far away.
Feng Jiu sat on her rainbow-coloured glazed feather and looked forward. There was no shop or village in this area, only a lone courtyard next to the small stream downhill. That courtyard had three courtyards connected to each other. It was a simple house of an ordinary family. She couldn’t help but feel strange about it.
“There is no one else in this area, just this courtyard by itself, and that courtyard seems a bit weird.” She said with doubt in her heart.
“With both our strength, we don’t have to be afraid of anything strange.” Duan Ye said with self-confidence: “Even if this place is especially for people who loot and murder, we don’t have to fear them.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu couldn’t help but smile. She glanced at him and said with a smile: “Since you’ve said so, then let’s go!” She leapt down gently and stretched out her hand to put away her rainbow-coloured glazed feather.
When he saw this, Duan Ye also put away his flying sword and followed her as she walked toward the downhill courtyard, sizing it up as he approached.
This courtyard looked like a farmer’s courtyard, but the connected structures of the courtyards were not like typical farmers, no wonder Feng Jiu said this place was weird.
When the two of them came to the courtyard, Feng Jiu glanced at Duan Ye and motioned for him to knock on the door,
Upon seeing this, Duan Ye stepped forward and knocked on the door: “Anyone here? We have come to ask if we can lodge here for the night.”
Not long after, they heard footsteps coming from inside, and the courtyard door creaked open. A beautiful plump woman around thirty five years of age appeared in the courtyard.
When the beautiful woman opened the door and saw the two people outside the door, there was a strange colour in her eyes. Her gaze circled Feng Jiu’s outstanding face, and then pa.s.sed through Duan Ye before she smiled: “Are the two of you pa.s.sing by? Do you want to stay at my house?”
Neither Feng Jiu nor Duan Ye had expected such a beautiful woman to live in a place where there was no shop or village nearby in sight. She also didn’t conceal her spirit energy and just stared at them both after she had opened the door.
“Madam, we are just pa.s.sing by. I wondered if it would be convenient for us to stay the night?” Feng Jiu asked as she welcomed the beautiful woman’s gaze.
“Of course you can, please come in!”
She smiled and opened the door to let the two of them go inside. After they had entered, she closed the door and led them inside saying: “There are often cultivators who pa.s.s by and stay here. There is nothing much in my house, but there are many empty rooms. Please come with me and take a seat inside.”
“Mother, are there guests?”
A delicate and soft female voice drifted over. Duan Ye and Feng Jiu stopped and looked toward the direction the voice came from.
Not too far ahead of them, three enchanting and charming girls walked out together…
