Chapter 2592: Swapping ident.i.ties
He didn’t send them? Who sent them, then?
She mused in her heart and a suspect came to mind. The one who came for the Blue Lotus? However, didn’t Peng Lai Immortal Island only appear in that sea once every two weeks? If it were them, how did they get here? Or did they come from this area?
After drinking two gla.s.ses of water, she opened the door and said, “Waiter, please come up!”
“Alright!” The waiter downstairs responded and hurried to Feng Jiu’s room. “What is your order, Young Master?”
“Prepare a meal for me. If you see any famous foods around here, please buy some for me.” She handed him some rock crystals as she spoke.
“Yes, I’ll get right on it.” The waiter smiled as he went downstairs after receiving the rock crystals. He notified the shopkeeper, asked the kitchen staff to prepare some food, and then went outside to purchase those items.
After the kitchen sent several dishes to the second floor, the waiter who had gone shopping returned as well. As he approached the table upon entering the room, he smiled broadly. “Young Master, here are the barbecued suckling pig and roasted chicken from Hundred Flavours Inn, as well as rainbow cakes from the Fragrant Cloud Inn and fried radish cakes from East End Alley…”
He laid out everything he bought from the s.p.a.ce ring on the table and presented it to Feng Jiu until the table was full, then said, “Young Master, there are still two rock crystals left.” He returned them to Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu smiled as he saw this. “Those are your rewards. You can leave now. Don’t come up without my order.”
“Yes. Thank you very much, Young Master.” The waiter responded with a smile, then exited and shut the door.
Looking at the items on the table, she took what she could and left something to eat. She had had enough to drink and eat when she opened a small crack in the back window and noticed that someone was watching her, so she summoned the waiter once more.
“What else can I do for you, Young Master?”
Feng Jiu smiled and said to the waiter in front of her, “Nothing, I only need to borrow your clothing.”
Then she touched his acupuncture points with her finger. In front of the shocked and terrified waiter, she removed his clothing and donned them. After a short process, she told the petrified waiter, “I placed the remainder of the room’s fare on the table. Later, give them to the innkeeper. In four hours, the acupuncture points on your body will be untied.”
The waiter stood there, unable to move or open his mouth. Watching the young master in red put on his clothes and leave, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, only his clothes were taken. He thought this man wanted to kill him or rob him of his belongings.
When the waiter walked out of the room four hours later with a depressed expression on his face, the cultivators outside suddenly stood up.
Several men strode over, one grabbed the waiter, and another went upstairs to check.
“Hey, what are you doing? Let go, let go!” The waiter panicked and yelled, “Innkeeper, Innkeeper, help me!”
“Shut up!” The cultivator who had grabbed the waiter’s lapel shouted gloomily. “Where is the man in the room?” he asked, pulling the waiter’s lapel and lifting him off the ground.
The waiter’s face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. “He took my clothes and fled.”
