Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Oh, it's like this. My master is new to Qingshan and wants to experience the local customs and culture, so he brought me here for a few days," Xu Ruwen said unhurriedly. "I wonder what brings Elder Yin here so late?"

"I came down the mountain on the orders of the sect leader to check if any strangers have entered or left." As he spoke, he was about to push open the door behind Xu Ruwen.

Xu Ruwen reacted quickly, grabbing his hand and saying, "Elder Yin, the person inside is my master."

“What’s wrong with your master?” Yin Qianze glanced at him sideways. “Even if he is your master, he should be subject to questioning.”

“He is a distinguished guest of Sect Leader Miao.” Xu Ruwen stopped him again.

Yin Qianze's face turned ugly, as if he was determined to see it even if you don't want me to. He pushed Xu Ruwen away with force, saying, "She's just a little girl. Only Renfeng would take her seriously."

The implication is that he never considered her a serious woman.

After saying that, he ignored Xu Ruwen's attempts to stop him and forcefully pushed open the door to the room. A soft, coquettish voice came from inside, "Is that you, Wen? Just put the water outside the screen."

When Xu Ruwen, who was standing outside the door, heard the name "Ah Wen," she involuntarily shuddered, thinking to herself, "Does she have to get this into character?"

Yin Qianze entered the room without saying a word. He silently looked around but didn't find anything amiss. In truth, with his strength, he didn't need to enter the rooms at all; he could simply stand outside the door and use his spiritual power to sense the situation inside. But he insisted on checking every single room, as if only by doing so could he feel more at ease.

After checking even the bed, the only thing left to look at was behind the screen from which the sound had come. The screen wasn't completely sealed; through the gaps, one could vaguely see flickering candlelight shining through.

He slowly, step by step, walked towards the screen. As he approached, the sound of water came from behind. Just one step away from seeing the scene behind the screen, a hand reached out and blocked his view.

"Elder Yin, what are you trying to do? Can't you see that the little girl is taking a bath in there?" A booming voice rang out from above his head.

He looked up. Huangfu Aoran's sculpted features, as imposing as mountains, were now staring at him with an expression of disapproval. His imposing presence, though not angry, made Huangfu Aoran feel a sudden, inexplicable unease. But then he remembered that he was investigating a demon, doing something legitimate, so why should he be afraid of him?

Yin Qianze straightened his back and said, "So what if it is? I am here in Qingshan Town on the orders of the sect leader. If the people of Qingshan Town are harmed by demons because of your obstruction, can you bear the responsibility?"

His expression was arrogant, as if he didn't take Huangfu Aoran seriously at all.

"You!" Huangfu Aoran suppressed the urge to beat him up, took a deep breath, and glared at him, saying, "How can an old man like you go in and watch a young lady bathe?! You call yourself the Green Mountain Sect a prestigious and righteous sect, yet you have no regard for the young lady's reputation at all. You are simply disrespectful to your age!"

Yin Qianze pointed at him and stammered, "You...you..." but couldn't utter a single word.

He listened to Huangfu Aoran's accusations, his face turning pale and then flushed. He had no idea who this Huangfu Aoran was, yet he was so arrogant. When he first arrived, he had tried to probe him several times but hadn't been able to find out anything about him. However, his intuition told him that this big guy was not someone to mess with.

"What's going on outside?" Geng Miaowan asked, feigning curiosity.

"It's nothing. Elder Yin from the Green Mountain Sect just wanted to inspect the place, but I stopped him. Don't worry, girl."

Upon hearing this, Geng Miaowan hurriedly replied, "How can that be? Elder Yin is just doing his job. Let him come in and check, so that no one will say we are delaying his business because we are on good terms with Sect Leader Miao."

Geng Miaowan spoke in a gentle and pleasant tone. But to Yin Qianze, it sounded like she was mocking him. However, he didn't care. Seeing that she had said that, he gave Huangfu Aoran a cold snort and went behind the screen.

Huangfu Aoran simply shrugged and didn't stop him.

As soon as Yin Qianze stepped behind the screen, a rich fragrance wafted towards her, mingled with a faint scent of moisture.

Geng Miaowan sat with her back to him in an enormous bathtub. From his vantage point, he could see her bare, fragrant shoulders, so white and flawless, like a piece of fine white jade, gleaming with a warm luster in the soft candlelight. Her dark hair was piled high, revealing the graceful curve of her neck. A few loose strands of hair, wet from the water, clung to her jade-like skin and fell to her chest.

Just seeing her from behind was enough to fill one with fantasies; it was unimaginable what she would look like from the front. Imagining the view of her hair brushing against her chest, he unconsciously swallowed.

Food and sex are human nature. Even though Yin Qianze is already half-buried in the ground, he is still a man after all. When faced with beauty, it's inevitable that he will have some fantasies.

However, he did not forget the purpose of his visit. He straightened his expression, withdrew his gaze, and began to survey his surroundings. He then used his spiritual power to probe the area, but nothing happened.

Yin Qianze found it very strange. He had received a message that the person was in this inn, so why couldn't he find him? Could it be that he had already escaped before him?

Geng Miaowan waited for a long time, but the old man showed no intention of leaving. She said calmly, "Everything here is clearly visible. Does Elder Yin have anything else to check? Should I get up and let you check this bathtub thoroughly as well?"

As she spoke, she made a move to get up, and the water splashed against the bathtub, making a "splashing" sound.

Although her tone remained the same, her words carried a hint of anger. Yin Qianze snapped out of her daze and shook her head repeatedly, "No need, no need. I was being presumptuous, please forgive me, Geng Miaowan."

This time, Yin Qianze no longer suspected anything. Anyone would be angry if they were stared at for so long for no reason, let alone a young woman who was still unmarried.

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly backed away. As soon as she turned around, something hit her on the back of the head.

"Who?" He turned his head in confusion, but saw nothing but Geng Miaowan sitting motionless in the water. (To be continued.)
