The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom——Tangzhou Inn

Ye Ling, who had successfully checked in, was not quite at ease. She pushed open the back window of the room and looked around: "This room is upstairs, but it looks like no one has lived there for a long time. It smells very musty."

"What do you suspect, Miss?" Jiuyou asked.

"The boss said there were no rooms, then said there were. Something's wrong. Be careful tonight." Ye Ling was very alert. "By the way, starting tomorrow, we don't have to hide our identities anymore. From now on, I will use my real name when I venture into the martial arts world. I will work hard to get on the Langya List and gain the card of freedom in life."

"Aren't you afraid of the Lu family anymore?" Qian Qing was a little worried.

"I'll find them sooner or later. I've been hiding these past few days just to get used to the Yin-Yang Blade as quickly as possible. I'm not afraid of them. If one comes, I'll kill them one by one. If two come, I'll kill them both."

"Miss, you have never killed anyone!"

"Everything has a first time." Ye Ling took out a cloth bag and said, "Jiuyou, take your clothes. Go back to your room, take a shower, and change clothes. Let's go downstairs to eat, and then go to the street to see if there are any good things and buy some."

"Yes." Jiuyou obediently took the cloth bag and went to the next room.

"Qianqing, let's change into women's clothes and go out so we can be open and honest."

"Yes." Qian Qing no longer asked where Ye Ling got his things from because she had become numb and accustomed to it.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them walked out of the room together. The innkeeper looked up and was stunned when he saw the people coming down: "Innkeeper... is... is it a woman?"

"Why, you don't allow women to stay in your store?" Qian Qing immediately asked back.

"How could that be? Everyone who comes is a guest!" The shop owner said tactfully, "Please take a seat. The food will be here soon."

"Miss, I have cleaned the stool. Please sit down."

"You two sit down too," Ye Ling said.

"Thank you, Miss," they both said in unison.

At this moment, Xue Jingchuan walked out of the room, wearing a white long gown with tight sleeves and a white rippled cape. Dan Fengfeng also made him uniquely charming. He had a pair of narrow and delicate eyes with slightly upturned corners, like a hermit with a sage-like appearance. He sat down at a table behind Ye Ling and said, "Boss, the best food and wine."

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll be there soon," the boss replied.

Ye Ling glanced at Xue Jingchuan briefly, then turned around and complained in her heart: With a peach blossom face, these ancient men were really handsome, better looking than those modern idols who have plastic surgery and makeup. It is true that the original ecology is beautiful!

"Master, you like this one again? You said Jiuyou was good-looking before, then you said Nangong Chen was good-looking, and now there's another one. What type do you like?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

Ye Ling thought for a moment and continued in her heart: Nangong Chen is good-looking, but he is black-hearted, a typical smiling tiger, hard to control, and the backyard is full of women, too dirty; as for my Jiuyou... he is a little puppy type, obedient and sensible, but only suitable to be a younger brother, not a partner; and the one behind him is obviously a playboy, run away as soon as you see him.

"Ah? So you don't like any of them and just admire them based on their looks?" Mengmeng became even more curious.

Ye Ling smiled and tried to control his expression: Mengmeng, your master is extremely beautiful, has great martial arts skills, and is rich. It is not impossible to select a few more and support them to expand the harem.

"Wow~ Master, you are such a hooligan" Mengmeng couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shut up," Ye Ling blurted out.

"Miss, who's going to shut up?" Qian Qing was a little confused.

"I...it's too noisy here." Ye Ling made up a lame excuse.

"Indeed, why don't we go upstairs to eat? You are the eldest lady, and it is not very appropriate to eat here. Everyone seems to be looking at us," Qian Qing said in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of? I have fair skin and beautiful looks, why would I be afraid of others seeing me?"

"Sir, your dishes are here." Two waiters each brought a plate of food and quickly brought it to the table.

Qian Qing was a little surprised: "Miss, this inn is overdoing it with food, right? Eight dishes, two soups, and dessert."

"Miss, look at the others, there are at most four dishes," Jiuyou also spoke in a low voice.

"Is it poisonous?" Ye Ling moved the plate of chicken in front of him.

"Master, it's non-toxic. Mengmeng can sense any poison. This table of food is non-toxic. You can eat it with confidence."

"You also have this function?" Ye Ling was skeptical.

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Qian Qing was curious again.

"Can you not ask why?" Jiuyou asked. He really didn't like Qianqing, who always asked endless questions regardless of the occasion.

"Okay, let's eat. It's not poisonous. Eat your fill first and see what tricks they play." Ye Ling picked up his chopsticks first.

At this moment, an unsociable voice rang out: "Boss, why are you discriminating about the dishes you serve? I live in the upper room too, so why are there only four dishes for four people, while they have eight for three? Who are you looking down on? Or is your boss being kind to us and giving us more dishes?"

"Haha..." The boss quickly apologized and said, "Sir, our restaurant only serves four dishes, but the guests at this table paid for a few more. If you want more, you'll have to pay extra. Miss, what do you think?"

"Yes," Ye Ling admitted without hesitation.

"Take a look," the boss said, feeling relieved.

"I see! Then forget it," the man gave up.

"No, miss, we..."

"Shut up and eat." Ye Ling quickly stopped Qian Qing and glared at her.

Qian Qing still didn't understand. These dishes were clearly given by the boss, so why did he have to pay for them? It was so unreasonable. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She whispered, "Miss, these..."

"Alright," Ye Ling interrupted again, "Qian Qing, I hate stupidity. Could you please watch more, listen more, and talk less? If you keep going like this, I'll be implicated by you sooner or later."

"Miss, please don't be angry. I just don't understand..."

"If you don't understand, you don't have to say anything. It's enough for me to understand. Sometimes I really think you are pretending. Do you know that most of the time a bloody battle will be triggered by a word from you? Then you can say that you didn't mean it, and then it will be over?" Ye Ling was really angry. What she hated most was people like Qian Qing, who didn't know much but loved to talk, hurting others and themselves.

"Miss, I was wrong. I won't ask again in the future." Qian Qing couldn't control her mouth.

"Okay, eat quickly, then we'll go shopping and ignore this place."

"Yes"

The three of them ate their fill quickly, and most of the food was left on the table. In Qianqing's words, they had been eating too well recently, so they couldn't eat anymore.

Night had fallen, but the number of people on the street was still as high as before. Ye Ling began to stock up on supplies. The first place she visited was a clothing store. She bought out everything that looked good and also bought several sets of clothes for Jiuyou and Qianqing. Then she went to the seasoning store. Salt, spicy noodles, peppercorns, etc. were all necessities. Finally, she bought some vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, rice, flour, oil, and various meats.

Meng Meng kept shouting excitedly in the space: "Master, there are so many foods and drinks in the space. Meng Meng is so full. I have never been so satisfied before. We have enough supplies to last for several years."

Ye Ling replied in her heart: That’s an exaggeration!

"That's not an exaggeration at all! Mengmeng doesn't lie."

Ye Ling didn't want to argue with an elf, so he remembered something: "Jiuyou, go and see if there's a blacksmith shop. Shoot me a few more butterfly darts. Qianqing and I will go back first. If there's no blacksmith shop, you can go straight back to the inn."

"Can…"

"It's okay, go ahead, you know what I mean." The reason why Ye Ling asked Jiuyou to leave was to see if he recognized them.

"Yes." Jiuyou understood and left with some uneasiness.

Just as Jiuyou left, an annoying voice rang out: "Hey~ Little beauty, what a coincidence, you are shopping too?"

Several men from the inn blocked their way, and another man said, "Young lady, are you going back to the inn? Come together, so the brothers can protect you."

"What are you doing?" Qian Qing stood in front of Ye Ling again without any reason, looking very nervous.

"What for?" The leading man smiled evilly. "Of course, we're protecting your young lady back to the inn. Tangzhou City has been in chaos these days, and there are too many bad guys."

"We don't want your protection, go away." Qian Qing seemed to have forgotten that Ye Ling knew martial arts.

"Hey~ This little girl is not bad either, she has a bad temper, I like her"

"I like this lady better," the man said as he was about to take action.

Just as Ye Ling was about to take action, the man's arm was blocked by a scabbard.

"Oh! Where did this young man come from, wanting to be a hero and save the beauty?" The man immediately became displeased.

The person who came was Xue Jingchuan. He curled his lips slightly and said, "Get out of here if you want to live."

"Haha..." Several men laughed: "Boy, this is what we should say to you, right?"

"Looking for death!" Xue Jingchuan stopped talking nonsense and attacked immediately. Without even drawing his sword, the four gangsters fell to the ground screaming.

Ye Ling thought to himself: He's a good-looking boy, and his martial arts skills are pretty good too, but it's a pity that he has so many romantic partners.

"Master, you are talking behind my back again. At least he just saved you," Mengmeng couldn't help but complain.

Ye Ling disagreed: "Do I need him to save me? You are meddling in other people's business."

Xue Jingchuan turned around and looked at Ye Ling, smiling slightly: "Miss, I'm sorry to frighten you. I happen to be staying at Tongshun Inn. How about we go back together? It's too messy here. We'd better not wander around anymore."

Ye Ling's expression instantly changed, and he gently knelt down and saluted: "Thank you very much for saving me, sir. May I know your name?"

"My name is Xue Jingchuan, blood of blood"

"And this last name?"

"The surname given by my parents, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Ye Ling smiled: "Okay, then... let's go!"

"Miss, please." Xue Jingchuan was very gentlemanly. He was also used to lying to young girls.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, and then started to walk back. She felt that Xue Jingchuan's arrival was suspicious, so she decided not to expose him first and wait and see what he wanted to do.

"Doesn't the young lady have a guard with her?" Xue Jingchuan asked.

"He went shopping. Prince Xue observed him very carefully!"

"Traveling in the martial arts world, one relies on sharp eyesight. Otherwise, one would have died countless times. We saw it while eating in the lobby of the inn."

"Right"

"There is a treasure hunting competition in Tangzhou recently, and it's very chaotic. Miss, if you have nothing to do, it's better not to run around. Otherwise, there will be many things like what just happened." Xue Jingchuan was sincerely reminding Ye Ling to be careful and not be rash. The reason why he cared so much was entirely because he admired Ye Tingzhan.

"Thank you, Mr. Blood. I'll take note of it. We'll leave tomorrow."

"That's good, let's leave this troubled place as soon as possible."
