Cheng Xiao Xiao went into the mountain again. She didn’t haveanything specific in mind but did hope that she could run into something thatcould level up the dimension. She knew it wouldn’t be an easy feat in thisquite well frequented Mount Wanan.
Innkeeper Zhu had been feeling apprehensive the last few days. Hehas been pulling his hair out and looking depressed behind the counter. He keptand eye out and looked in the direction of the front entrance frequently,hoping to see the emergence of familiar faces.
Perhaps his sincerity has touched the lord, or his luck hadfinally changed. After checking several hundred times, he finally spotted thetwo very familiar person. When the ones he had been waiting for finally appearedin front of him, he was shocked beyond words.
He stared at them like he didn’t know them.
Deacon Lin was not pleasedwith his dumbfounded look. Frowning unhappily, he said, “What a brainlessidiot!”
“Deacon Bai, Deacon Lin, you are back?” Innkeeper Zhu wasemotional. He wanted to slap himself in his face to make sure he wasn’tdreaming.
Deacon Bai nodded at him and didn’t say anything. He walkedstraight toward the guest quarters in the back.
Innkeeper Zhu finally came to after the two disappeared behind thedoor curtain. He slapped himself hard on his thigh and the pain was real. Hemuttered to himself, “So this was all real. I wasn’t imaging things. The twodeacons really are back!”
“Aya!”
He shouted out all of a sudden. The server next to him was veryperplexed by his unusual behavior. Innkeeper Zhu couldn’t care less what theserver thought and just told him, “Server, watch the shop, I will be rightback!”
After that, he immediately rushed toward the guest quarter. Hedidn’t find anything, the two deacons were bathing. They have been wanting tobathe since they have been imprisoned for two days.
Innkeeper Zhu went to a different room since he couldn’t local thedeacons and found the man in black whom he had sent and asked him about whathad happened.
The man in black was scared to hold anything back and told himeverything that had happened.
Innkeeper Zoo’s jaw dropped open. After a long while, he said withbewildered eyes, “You meant to tell me that the Cheng maiden imprisoned the twodeacons?”
“Yes!”
“And you said maiden Cheng is a beast tamer?”
“Yes!”
“Oh my G.o.d! Oh my G.o.d! Beast tamer? How is that possible? Is itreal?”
“Of course it’s real! I saw her removing over 100 snakes with myown eyes. How else could she had done it if she wasn’t a beast tamer. Not tomention that she said she’s is one herself!”
“Beast tamer? A beast tamer?” Innkeeper Zhu was shocked beyondwords and muttered to himself. Never in a million years would he had imaginedthat the reserved-looking young maiden was a well-sought after beast tamer.
Innkeeper Zhu could never have imagined that. No wonder even the twoskillful deacons were imprisoned by the maiden Cheng.
Two hours later!
Innkeeper Zhu saw the two deacons again. After bathing and somefood, the two had regained their old arrogant manner and relaxingly drinkingtea in front of a table.
Innkeeper Zhu dare not asked too many questions knowing what wasgoing on. But knowing that they would be going to the Cheng’s tomorrow for thetransaction made him surprised and emotional. The man in black didn’t tell himthis part.
Going from seeming desperation to hopeful. Life was full ofsurprises!
While they were discussing the finer details of the transactiontomorrow, Cheng Xiao Xiao went home at dusk. All the villagers were alreadygone and her parents had finished preparing dinner.
