"Hello..." He nodded and greeted the hotel owner who had opened the door for you.

The innkeeper glanced cautiously outside, then waved twice and said, "Come on in."

This is a hotel with a European pastoral style, decorated with some retro-style ornaments everywhere.

The hotel owner walked to the front desk and took out a thick notebook to register your information.

"Would you two like one room or two rooms?"

"One room." You all said almost in unison.

The boss's gaze swept over you both: "Is it now fashionable for couples to go on adventures together?"

"Yeah, to deepen our understanding, right?" You glanced up and gave Qin Che a flirtatious wink.

After Qin Che caught your gaze, he gave you a faint, helpless smile.

After the hotel owner completes the registration, he will put the room key in your hand.

Seeing that he was about to leave, you thought you could take this opportunity to ask the boss for some information.

So you pretended to be curious and asked, "Boss, how many times has the dragon appeared in this town?"

After thinking for a moment, the hotel owner replied, "Including tonight, this is the second time this week!"

"When was the first time?" you pressed.

"Five days ago! Everyone was terrified and dared not go out to do business. Everyone stayed home cautiously for several days, and the evil dragon didn't appear again." The innkeeper swallowed and continued, "Just tonight, we were thinking of returning to normal life, but as soon as it got dark and the lights came on, the evil dragon appeared again!"

After hearing this, you thoughtfully asked, "So what do you sell at the market?"

The boss smiled mysteriously and pulled out a deck of cards from behind his back.

"I also have a side job as an astrologist, predicting people's fortunes... Here, draw a card."

Just as you were getting excited about picking up the cards, Qin Che said, "Is now the time to do this?"

The hotel owner said sheepishly, "It's included with the room, no charge."

You quickly tugged at him: "Hey, it's just for fun, it won't take up much time."

After you finished speaking, you drew a card and held it up in front of the boss. The card depicted a knight holding a scepter, riding a horse with his head held high.

The innkeeper was overjoyed: "[Knight of Wands], this is a card of action, meaning that you, Miss, are a very energetic and proactive woman. Great, a good omen! You're sure to succeed in slaying the dragon this time!"

The boss put away the card, reshuffled the deck, and turned to Qin Che.

You nudged Qin Che's waist: "You should draw one too! Maybe it'll bring double happiness, a double blessing!"

Qin Che glanced at you, then cooperated by drawing a card and holding it up to the boss.

The innkeeper peered at it closely for a long time without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Are you having bad luck with the cards?" You were starting to feel anxious because of your boss's attitude.

The innkeeper quickly waved his hand, then glanced casually at Qin Che's face: "Good, excellent. I believe you two can work together seamlessly and slay the dragon!"

The shopkeeper turned the cards over. On the cards, a man and a woman stood under a lush, leafy tree.

"A meeting of minds..." Qin Che seemed pleased by these words, his mood improving. He chuckled softly, "That's to be expected. But... did the evil dragon appear during the day?"

After recalling for a moment, the hotel owner said, "No, it's not like that, but it's like a sword hanging over our heads. We can't live a normal day without removing it."
