However, the only solution at present is to cultivate spiritual power.

Although the cultivation speed of the natural spiritual body is far ahead of that of ordinary practitioners, Yan Zhiqiao still feels it is too slow.

If only there was a quicker way.

Yan Zhiqiao curled his lips, dispelled some unrealistic thoughts, and continued to lie still.

"Qiao Qiao, are we just going to wait here for your senior brother to come?"

Huaixi's question brought Yan Zhiqiao back to his senses.

If what the boss said before is true, given Huaixi's looks, it is possible that she would be targeted.

If it were just the two of them, given her and Huaixi's current strength, it would be better for them to leave Wunian City as soon as possible.

But Jiang Ciyuan was on his way now, so there was no need to leave in a hurry.

——Well, just stay in the room and try not to go out.

Huaixi nodded and pinched her fingertips in embarrassment.

"I want to get back in the water for a while."

Mermaids can leave the water, but the longest time cannot exceed ten days.

Even though it's only been a day, it's a mermaid's nature to love water.

If circumstances permit, Huaixi would naturally want to stay back in the water.

Yan Zhiqiao frowned slightly.

——There may not be such a big bathtub here, only a small bathtub.

Huaixi is delicate, but never overly picky.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can touch the water."

——Then you should restrain your aura and don’t let anyone discover your identity.

"it is good."

After obtaining Yan Zhiqiao's consent, Huaixi quickly went to find the waiter and brought up a bathtub and cold water.

After the waiter finished his work, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's already late autumn, young master, you're still taking a cold shower, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Huaixi smiled at him.

"Don't worry, taking cold showers is my hobby."

Every cultivator may have quirks, and they are all different.

People come and go in Jingyue Tower every day, and the waiter has seen all kinds of people.

It’s actually not particularly strange for someone like Huaixi to like taking cold showers.

So he didn't ask any more questions.

"Sir, call me if you need to change the water."

"it is good."

As soon as the waiter left, Huaixi couldn't wait to take off his clothes, leaving only a white lining, and then excitedly sat in the bathtub.

"Wow—"

The ice-blue fish tail instantly spread out, splashing water onto the ground.

Due to the limited size of the bathtub, the huge fish tail could not fit in all of it and could only hang outside the bathtub.

"Well…"

Even so, Huaixi was still very happy to touch the water.

In the originally quiet guest room, the sound of splashing water could be heard from time to time.

Yan Zhiqiao lay on the bed, listening to his movements while healing, but he didn't find it noisy.

Time passed little by little.

In a blink of an eye, dusk fell silently, and the noise from the outside world was replaced by silence.

In the pitch-black guest room, Huaixi was still soaking in the bathtub, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

While Yan Zhiqiao was healing, he also had a good rest.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, opened her eyes and looked towards the door.

There was a dim candlelight outside, and a hunched figure was vaguely reflected on the window paper.

Yan Zhiqiao's eyes flickered slightly and he released his spiritual sense.

Outside the door, the waiter who was particularly hospitable during the day was now looking alert.

In his hands he held a candle for lighting and a small, slender bamboo tube.

He looked around and saw that no one else came up, so he leaned against the door and listened carefully.

After making sure there was no movement in the room, he carefully poked a hole in the window paper with a bamboo tube and blew out a puff of white smoke.

Yan Zhiqiao never expected that the gangsters mentioned by Boss Bai Ri would act so quickly.

What was even more unexpected was that Jingyue Tower, which was recognized as the safest building in Wunian City, was actually a shady shop.

But on second thought, Yan Zhiqiao felt that he was still careless.

The boss has already said that the city lord is backing us up.

It's not surprising that this inn would be involved in such corruption.

Yan Zhiqiao felt that he had learned something new, and then he turned his spiritual power into wind and blew away all the smoke before it spread in the room. At the same time, he used his spiritual power to hit Huaixi.

"what--"

Huaixi immediately woke up from his dream.

As soon as he spoke, the waiter outside immediately realized that he might have been exposed.

Surprisingly, instead of fleeing in a hurry, he erected a soundproof barrier, kicked open the locked door from the inside, and walked in swaggeringly.

Huaixi was startled and had no time to retract his huge fish tail, which caused a splash of water.

The sound of water attracted the waiter's attention.

The moment he saw the icy blue fish tail, his originally calm expression instantly revealed his unconcealable greed.

Huaixi subconsciously wanted to question the waiter, how could he break into the guest's room without his permission.

But when he met the waiter's greedy gaze, he instinctively felt disgusted, but he also quickly realized that his identity was exposed.

A light blue light flashed, Huaixi put away his fish tail and quickly came to the bed, picked up the Su Han sword given by Yan Zhiqiao, and looked at the other party with vigilance.

"What do you want to do?"

In this situation, the waiter not only did not show any fear, but also laughed out loud arrogantly.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that the item I liked was actually a mermaid. This time I'm going to make a fortune!"

After saying this, he didn't hesitate.

"Somebody come!"

At a command, three agile cultivators at the early Golden Core stage broke in through the window.

"He's a mermaid. If we catch him and sell him, we can make a fortune."

As soon as the word "mermaid" was uttered, the three accomplices, like the waiter, showed greedy eyes.

A good-looking man like Huaixi is worth a lot of money.

If I were a mermaid again...

The price of selling him alone is enough to cover the price of selling three people!

One of them was a man of action, and he excitedly chopped towards Huaixi with the long knife in his hand.

Seeing this, the other two did not hesitate and rushed forward.

Huaixi is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and his chances of winning in a one-on-one fight with an early stage of the Golden Core are very high.

But facing three people at the same time suddenly became very difficult.

The room, which seemed spacious at first, now seemed cramped because of the fight.

Huaixi did not attack but chose to defend.

He stayed by the bed, not giving them any chance to hurt Yan Zhiqiao.

As a result, he was restricted in the fight and was quickly defeated.

With a "clang" sound, Su Han's sword slipped out of his hand and fell heavily to the ground.

Huaixi was beaten by one of them. He fell backwards on the bed in a mess, spitting out blood.

He put his hand over his bruised chest, but subconsciously looked towards the pillow.

Yan Zhiqiao was lying on the pillow, looking at him very calmly, without any panic.

Yan Zhiqiao's internal injuries were already serious enough, and if he used his demonic energy again, not only would the two days of healing be wasted, but he might even be hurt even more seriously.

So she didn't plan to take any more risks.

The people in front of me are just looking for money.

Even if Huaixi and she were kidnapped now, as long as she was given a few days to recuperate, she would still have a chance to escape.
