142 And No Refund!

"How is it?" asked Feng Zhong Tian.

"This looked bad..." a doctor said. "I have tried my best, but there's no sign of waking up. Because this is a severe case of a coma, it could take years before the patient could wake up!"

"Ughhh... How could this be?" Feng Zhong Tian gritted his teeth. How could he explain what happened to the others?

Yang Xue Yi and Qian Lu were found unconscious after the explosion.

One soon wake up and still happily eats to replenish energy. While the other was in a coma without any signs of waking up. Furthermore, Feng Ao Xiu and Qian Hui also have gone missing.

"Where's Xue Yi? Where's my daughter?" Yang Wen Jia breaks through the door. "Brother Zhong Tian. You better have an explanation!"

"Please calm down..."

"How could I calm down? Where is my daughter, I heard she's treated here?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt..." the doctor said. "But I have to leave... I will prescribe the medicine one have to take while in a coma. It does not help the patient to wake up, but at least provide the proper nutrition while still asleep."

"What!? A coma!" Yang Wen Jia was shocked by hearing the words of the doctor. "Brother Zhong Tian. What's the meaning of this? My daughter is in a coma!?"

"Wait! Calm down! I'll explain!"

"How could I f*cking calm down? Xue Yi may never open her eyes again!?"

"That's not it!"

"Then what is it!? Depending on your answer, the Yang Clan would not be afraid to go to war with..."

"Ah, Father, you're here!" said Yang Xue Yi.

"Not now Xue Yi, I have to inquire about your condition first," said Yang Wen Jia. "Brother Zhong Tian, what exactly happened... Wait! What..."

Yang Wen Jia rubbed his eyes before he said. "Xue Yi... You're all right?"

"Yes, father, I am fine," said Yang Xue Yi. "Please don't worry too much about me!"

"What happened?"

"I don't remember much. Everything seems so hazy, and I have this uncomfortable feeling towards a certain someone."

The one who's in a coma was Qian Lu. As he was now an Ancient Mortal Realm Expert, he was a great asset to the clan, him being unable to wake up would damage the Feng Clan's influence which. And, with Feng Ao Xiu gone missing as a fake Ancient Sky Realm, it would not help any better.

Feng Zhong Tian sighed as there's no easy way to explain these situations to the elders.

Yang Xue Yi also sighed, "Where is my husband? I hope he's all right."

***

"I can't believe this! Why should I take care of you!? I should go back and tell it to the whole clan."

It's already the Fifth time Jing Wu Chu said those words. It seemed the truth was just too harsh for her. The man she loved and the one she gave all herself to was none other than a lying bastard, worst of all he's not a cultivator.

This was already the numerous times Feng Ao Xiu convinced her not to go back, so he said it casually.

"I said it before, but if you go back now she will kill you!"

And again, Jing Wu Chu stopped in her tracks. Just by remembering "her", her whole body shuddered and fear comes unexpectedly. She squatted down instinctively, trying to get the scary image out of her head.

What Feng Ao Xiu said was right, all this happened because Jing Wu Chu herself provoked Yang Xue Yi. She interrupted the couple nightlife and claimed that she cheated with the husband. This turned the wife into an uncontrollable monster. If the wife found her, there's no doubt the dark monster will appear again.

Would Jing Wu Chu risk her life just so she can go back? Of course not.

"...", Jing Wu Chu turned around again without saying anything. She closely followed Feng Ao Xiu and Qian Hui from behind.

However, the fact that she slept with the lying bastard left a bad taste in her mouth. She frowned, and the disgusted expression on her face could be clearly seen.

"Wu Chu, don't get so angry," said Qian Hui. "Look at the bright side, you get to accompany me. And, if you did your job well, Second Young Master will raise your cultivation level as well."

Qian Hui himself goes along with Feng Ao Xiu's plan. Mainly because he could travel with Jing Wu Chu and have not received his share of techniques and Pure Qi yet.

"As long as you keep it a secret properly, I promise to make you into an Ancient Mortal Realm Cultivator. Isn't this a nice deal?" Feng Ao Xiu said.

While the Second Young Master's proposition seemed to be really good, Jing Wu Chu was a woman who was deeply moved by her emotions. She cared more about her love life than cultivation level or techniques. In the end, she could only stay quiet without changing her expression much.

"Ah... It's the city", said Qian Hui while pointing ahead. "Anyway, what should we do? Should we find an inn and get some rest?"

While Qian Hui's plan was plain to see that he just wants to rest and did not want to move much, Feng Ao Xiu has to agree. First, they should find a place to live before planning ahead.

Feng Ao Xiu and the others entered quite a luxurious inn that was intended for nobles and the wealthy.

Just by glancing at the interior design and the blinding luxurious marbles at the front hall, Jing Wu Chu smiled a little.

[Maybe it's not that bad accompanying the Second Young Master.]

"Three people and three rooms will be 350 silver taels per day. It includes breakfast and dinner. You can also freely use the baths at night. How many days would you like to stay?" the receptionist said with a warm smile.

"One week, please... Ehhh... Wait..." said Feng Ao Xiu as he rummaged through his pocket. Then his face turned pale with a grave expression as he looked at Qian Hui. "I... I left my money at home..."

"Don't look at me!" Qian Hui said, "I also have no money left. They're borrowed by Lu."

Much less Qian Hui who's a guard, Jing Wu Chu was only a lowly with a smaller salary, Feng Ao Xiu could not expect anything from her.

"If you don't have any money, then please leave." said the receptionist. The smile in his face was gone and replaced by a rough and unwelcoming tone.

Feng Ao Xiu had no choice, he just has to use his name. If an Ancient Sky Realm stayed, they would not refuse.

"Psstt... Can I tell a secret!" said Feng Ao Xiu.

"What is it?" The receptionist draws his ear closer.

"I'm actually Feng Ao Xiu..."

"What! Really!?"

"Not so loud, I don't want to be discovered. Just give me the room key, I'll pay you back later!"

"The truth is, I also have a secret."

"What is it?" Feng Ao Xiu draws his ear closer to the receptionist.

"Actually, I'm also Feng Ao Xiu."

Feng Ao Xiu, "..."

"Please leave the building, or I'll call the guards!" said the receptionist.

***

Feng Ao Xiu and the others had no choice but to find a different inn.

"Hmm... One room is 8 bronze taels per day." said the receptionist with his feet up on the desk. He leaned back on his chair while reading a book without even looking. In fact, he treated them like a pain in the ass and wished they would not be here.

"Two days, please..." said Jing Wu Chu.

The one who paid was none other than Jing Wu Chu, as she was the only one that carried money.

The receptionist collected the money, then roughly throw a key at them.

* Thud... *

The key hit Jing Wu Chu's head. She caught that was bounced off her head with an angry look on her eyes.

"Excuse me, but what kind of room is this?"

"It's just like any other room, the only one we got. And, no refund!"

"Umm... How many beds are there? How big is the room?"

"You got no bed, just the room. You can see how big is it for yourself. And, no refund!"

"What about the bathroom and the toilet?"

"We got none of those. If you have to go, take care of your business in the forest nearby. And, no refund!"

"..."

Jing Wu Chu was angry as hot steam was rising over her head. Not only she has to live in this inn because of the limited amount of money. But, she also has to carry two penniless deadweights named Feng Ao Xiu and Qian Hui on her back.
