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

Cang Yue Kingdom——Inn beside the official road

Listening to what the other guests were saying, the proprietress stood up and looked at everyone: "Excuse me, I have a condition for accompanying you for drinks, and it happens that none of you meet the conditions."

"What are the conditions?" someone asked.

"Look at the face. I think you all know what you look like, right?" said the proprietress with a smile.

"How do you talk?"

"That's what I say. You can stay here or not." The proprietress finished her scolding and immediately changed her expression: "Two gentlemen, come, let's drink."

After the three of them clinked their glasses, the proprietress looked at Ye Ling and said, "Sir, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"

"I stayed in your store once a few months ago," Ye Ling said without changing his expression.

"Hey! I was wondering why you looked so familiar!" The proprietress practically stuck to Ye Ling: "Come on, since we're acquaintances, let's have another drink."

Ye Ling smiled slightly, clinked glasses, and drank it all in one gulp: "We've been traveling all day and we're hungry."

"The food will be here soon." The proprietress has already started to make moves, looking extremely hungry.

"Boss, don't you care about your wife?" a customer started to make trouble.

Ye Ling could only move a little. Yelu Liangzhu was speechless: "Boss, we are just here to eat, please serve the food quickly!"

"Okay, I'll go and urge you guys right away." The proprietress got up and left reluctantly.

Yelu Liangzhu whispered, "Jiuyou, look at her. She's so fickle. She dares to flirt with other men in front of her own husband. There are actually such women in the world."

"Last time we stayed here, she hooked up with several men," Ye Ling said, looking at the boss behind the counter. "Actually, I don't quite understand. How can a man not care if his woman is so promiscuous? She's a complete jerk!"

"The food is here," the waiter trotted over, "Sorry for the long wait, my dear guests. Please enjoy your meal."

"That's great, Jiuyou, let's eat quickly and then go to sleep so that we can travel tomorrow," Yelu Liangzhu said as he was about to pick up his chopsticks.

“Master, Master,” Mengmeng shouted, “Don’t eat it, that’s the problem.”

"Wait." Ye Ling stopped Yelu Liangzhu, shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to eat, and then asked in his heart: Is it poisoned?

"No, it's an aphrodisiac!"

Yelu Liangzhu whispered: "What's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with the food. It was drugged with... aphrodisiac." Ye Ling was speechless.

"Master, we have checked. All meat dishes are inedible, but all vegetarian dishes are safe," said Mengmeng.

"Boss," Ye Ling said in a cold voice.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" The boss came over.

"Do you like to add aphrodisiacs to the dishes you serve to your customers?" Ye Ling raised his voice and asked, "Why is the boss lady so horny?"

"Sir, please don't say such things! What do you mean by adding aphrodisiac?" The boss obviously did not admit it.

"No medicine, that's good. Come on, boss, sit down and let's eat together. Do you dare?" Yelu Liangzhu said.

"Why not?" The boss sat down immediately.

Ye Ling picked up a few pieces of meat for him one by one and said, "Please..."

The boss picked up the meat and started eating, while everyone on the first floor was waiting to watch the show.

The proprietress came out of the kitchen and was shocked: "Old man, what are you doing?"

"So nervous?" Ye Ling smiled. "I told you guys you added aphrodisiacs to your meat dishes, but your man didn't believe me. So, I'm testing the poison. Why don't you take a piece? It'll prove your innocence. Otherwise, I'll report you to the authorities and accuse you of poisoning people."

"Aphrodisiacs are also considered poison?" The proprietress was furious. She pulled the boss up and slapped him in the face. "You and this useless thing, eat, eat, eat. What's the point of eating more?"

The boss was shaking with anger and glared at the boss's wife angrily.

The boss lady continued to curse: "Why are you looking at me? You are a eunuch, not a man. You can't do anything except spit on me."

In an instant, the inn was in an uproar, and all the guests were laughing:

"No wonder the boss lady is so lonely, it's because her husband is not good enough!"

"Haha...that's right."

Under the laughter of the crowd, the boss's aphrodisiac gradually took effect. He began to grab things and muttered, "Hot, I'm so hot."

"Drag him down and throw him into the water," the proprietress said angrily.

Two men came up immediately and took the boss away.

"Looks like there really is an aphrodisiac!" Ye Ling didn't care about the eunuchs: "Boss lady, how are you going to explain this?"

"I told you, aphrodisiacs aren't poisonous. At most..." The proprietress said, hooking her hand around Ye Ling's belt. "At most, it's just something to add to the fun. I'll serve you well tonight as compensation. Is that okay?"

"No," Ye Ling slapped the proprietress's hand down. "I'm not interested in you. You should think about how to accompany me. I'm still hungry."

"Hehe..." A swordsman beside him said with a smile: "Boss lady, how about we spend the night together tonight? I don't need to drug you."

"Get lost!" the lady boss cursed, then shouted, "Serve them another table."

"Is that the end?" Ye Ling asked.

"Sir, don't be ungrateful. I have seen all kinds of men. I drugged you because I like you." The proprietress was not afraid.

Ye Ling was furious. He picked up a chopstick and hit out directly. The chopstick penetrated three thick pillars and finally went deep into the wall and disappeared.

For a moment, the entire inn was silent and everyone was stunned. Even Yelu Liangzhu was shocked. He did not expect that someone he just met would have such high martial arts skills.

The proprietress also knew she had kicked a rock, so she immediately smiled and said, "Sir, calm down. How about this: you two can stay here for free tonight, and I'll pass the money on to you, okay?"

"We just want to have a good sleep tonight, and it would be best if nothing else happens," Ye said coldly.

"Okay, it won't happen again," the proprietress tried to smile.

For a moment, everyone returned to their original silence and began to chat in low voices.

A table of new dishes arrived at Ye Ling's place, and the two of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Yelu Liangzhu ate absentmindedly: "Jiuyou, I never thought you were such a hidden master!"

"Mr. Chu, please forgive me for making fun of you. How can you survive in the martial arts world without any skills? Come eat quickly, and then we can go and rest."

When the two finished their meal, there were only a few tables of people on the first floor. Everyone went upstairs to rest. Ye Ling and Yelu Liangzhu also returned to their rooms.

Ye Ling asked Meng Meng to keep watch and pay close attention to the situation outside. She entered the space herself, wiped Jiu You's face, and then fell asleep with her arms around his arm. This way, she felt particularly at ease.

Perhaps because Ye Ling scared the proprietress, the night was very peaceful.

When it was almost dawn, Mengmeng suddenly flew into Jiuyou's room and shouted, "Master, master, wake up quickly, something seems to have happened outside."

Ye Ling had no choice but to get up. In order not to be exposed, she had to wear men's clothes for the past few days and just found a purple dress with tight sleeves and waist.

As soon as he left the space, he heard Yelu Liangzhu knocking on the door: "Jiuyou? Jiuyou? Wake up, something happened."

Ye Ling opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"They said someone seemed to be dead, the proprietress died," said Yelu Liangzhu.

Ye Ling went out and saw a room on the second floor opposite with a lot of people standing at the door. "How did he die?"

"He died in a guest's bed, and that guest also died," Yelu Liangzhu said with disgust.

"Tsk tsk tsk" Ye Ling shook his head.

At this moment, the people who had seen the scene returned and passed by Ye Ling, talking about:

"This boss is so cruel. He turned both of them into a hornet's nest. There's blood everywhere."

"The boss lady deserves it. If it were me, I would have killed such a coquettish woman long ago."

"That's right! Both of them are naked."

"Shame on you!"

Watching the two people walking away, Ye Ling asked, "Did they report it to the police?"

"Should we report it? The boss seems crazy and is sitting in that room. He killed someone and never left."

"Let's pack up and leave. It will be troublesome if the police come later." After saying that, Ye Ling turned and went into the house to pick up the things. It didn't matter to her how many people died.

The two of them went downstairs with their things, but were stopped by the waiter: "Two guests, you can't leave yet."

"Why?" Yelu Liangzhu asked.

"Our boss lady died"

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Your boss's wife died in another man's bed, and it was your boss who killed her. What does it have to do with us? Why can't we leave?"

"That's right." Two more knights with swords came downstairs together. One of them said, "This young master is right. Why won't you let us go? Look at your flirtatious proprietress. She deserves to die. Women like her deserve to die."

"I'm about to leave, let's see who dares to stop me." Another swordsman came downstairs carrying a big sword and walked out of the door in a swagger.

The others also left one after another, and the waiter didn't dare to stop them.

Ye Ling and Yelu Liangzhu got on their horses and started riding at full speed.

Just after noon, Ye Ling suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Chu, look at the boundary marker."

Yelu Liangzhu looked towards the road and said, "We've reached Zhezhou."

"Yes, at our speed, we will reach the main city of Zhezhou in three days at most."

"That's great!" Yelu Liangzhu couldn't hide his excitement. "Jiuyou, thank you so much this time. The road we took yesterday had so many forks! If you hadn't led the way, I would have definitely lost my way again."

"Just like you said, it's just on the way," Ye Ling replied with a smile and began to walk slowly. Although he had only known Yelu Liangzhu for a few days, he could tell that he was a very righteous person.

"Jiuyou, can you please tell me what you do for a living? You are so good at martial arts."

"As for me, I travel everywhere and do all kinds of work. I can escort people, be a bounty hunter, and hunt for life. As long as I can make money, I will do it."

"I see. With your martial arts skills, you are indeed suitable for doing this kind of work."

"Where is Mr. Chu? What are your plans for the future?"

"I've had a dream since I was a child, and this time I want to try my luck"

"Oh! Can you tell me?"

"Of course, my dream is to enter Langya Pavilion"

"Ah?" Ye Ling was a little surprised: "So... you went to Zhezhou just to go to Langya Pavilion?"

"Yes," Yelu Liangzhu nodded affirmatively, "You don't know Wuxi Mountain in Zhezhou City?"

"I know, I know." Ye Ling smiled and nodded: "Xuanwu Peak!"
