Young master! We've reached Jinan City!

A tall, dark red horse carriage stopped in front of an inn. A short girl with black hair and a high ponytail jumped down from the carriage. She was wearing a green shirt, and her skin was the color of healthy wheat.

Young Master, Teacher is really fresh! This Jinan City is different from what I imagined!

The curtains were decorated elegantly, the pendants were lined with rows of straight, light, round beads. A pair of long, thin hands lifted the pendant, and a tall, elegant, black haired, smiling, beautiful man walked out of the carriage.

Chaxianyu could clearly hear the people around him gasp from shock.

Even though there were many people on the street, and there were quite a few guests drinking tea and listening to books in the inn, they were all attracted to the white-robed First Immortal as if they had been informed beforehand.

Chaxianyu quietly looked around, and seeing that she was surrounded, she could not help but shrink her shoulders, and carefully hid behind Shier Hong, muttering timidly, "Young master …" They're all looking at you...

Shier Hong, on the other hand, was accustomed to it, and had a magnanimous face. He was very happy with the girl's initiative to approach him. Very naturally, he grabbed Chaxianyu's hand, gently pulled the small girl out, put his in front of his chest, and rested his chin on his head. His beautiful golden eyes narrowed as he said those words leisurely.

Shier Hong, I hope that you, as the owner of the inn, will have the awareness of doing something urgent first.

With black hair and red eyes, a set of mysterious black clothes from head to toe, and a complicated golden sword carved on his waist, the handsome man with a cold expression suddenly appeared beside the two of them, causing the crowd to cry out in alarm.

Chaxianyu was in a dilemma due to being trapped within the two humans. She struggled to raise her head, her face was filled with disbelief, and she gave a coy smile to Shier Hong who was calm and composed as he embraced her. Financial resources. Yu Er never expected that the inn in Jin An City would have such a large number of people. And it was personally opened by the young master?

Shier Hong nodded his head, before Chaxianyu could say another word, "Our master is really the God of Fortune's possession!" A vulgar lament was immediately interrupted by a bald man who hurriedly ran down from the second floor and knelt on the floor with a thump, kowtowing to him.

My name is Wang Fu, manager of Wanhua Inn, and I pay my respects to Sir Xu!

The loud and clear voice reached the ears of all the people present who were staring at Chaxianyu's group as if they were watching a show with interest, causing quite a commotion once again.

Master Xu? Could it be the Xu of the Four Great Clans?

No wonder, I already said that their appearances are incomparable to ordinary people. So it turns out that they are from the Xu Clan …

Eh, that girl is also from the Xu? He looks very ordinary...

I think it should be a servant girl, right? If it was the young miss of the Xu family, in terms of appearance, it would definitely not be to this extent …

Suddenly, a long sword struck out …! The sword flew straight through the air, straight into the painting hanging on the counter at the front door of the inn. The crowd was taken aback by the sight. With great force, half of the sword pierced through the wall.

The sharp white light that came out from the scabbard, the silver sword was like white snow that was nailed into the wall. The white wall was covered in dust that fluttered in the wind.

Luo Rongji raised his emotionless, bloody eyes and coldly swept the entire inn with his gaze. He slowly spoke in a low voice, and after watching enough of this scene, he closed his mouth. If I hear any more gossip, don't blame me, Luo Rongji, for not leaving anyone alive.

Chaxianyu's face was filled with surprise, she raised her head, seeing the temperature around her plummet by a few degrees, her killing intent causing her to lose focus. She couldn't help but have a strange illusion, [Master, this is …] Protecting herself?

Alright, alright, Master Luo calmed down. Shier Hong still had a bright and gentle smile on his face, he nodded towards the shopkeeper who knelt down, "Wang Fu, help me clean up three rooms, and settle down the carriage and coachman. I want to stay in Jin An City for a few days.

When Wang Fu heard this, he quickly got up from the ground. His two hands nervously wiped his sweating bald head alternately, just like wiping a steaming soy egg. Reply, report to the lord … Coincidentally, the guest room had already been reserved for him …

Shier Hong raised his eyebrows, his tone was filled with surprise, Oh? But how strange was it that he could not spare a single room?

Wang Fu became nervous again when Shier Hong asked him a question. He stuttered as he explained, averted his eyes and replied to the lord … This inn does have the last room that we can leave when we have the time, but …

But what?

Shier Hong's smile faded as he walked up a few steps with sleeves hanging, and steadily stopped in front of the shopkeeper. He was still tall and straight, in a white robe, cold and luxurious, exuding an immense pressure. His pair of golden eyes were expressionless, but it seemed like he could see through everything.

Wang Fu trembled in fear. A trembling voice cried out as he knelt down and hugged his head. This was the last room … It's not that I don't want adults to live here on purpose! It was really … It was really …

It was really too much for him!

Luo Rongji, who was standing quietly at the side, was suddenly in high spirits. He raised his hand to support his chin, his eyes flashing with a red light of excitement.

Tell me, why can't I stay in this room?

Chaxianyu secretly pulled on Luo Rongji's sleeves. Master...

Wang Fu seemed to be worried about something as he sneaked a glance at Shier Hong from time to time. Luo Rongji bent over and stared straight into the man's dodging eyes with his pair of black python red eyes and said one word.

The bald man seemed to be on the verge of collapse. He no longer cared about the gazes around him as he cried. Tears and snot covered his face. The lord might not know this! Since half a year ago, because of the strange incident in the last room, the Wan Hua Inn had been in a state of panic every day … Lord! That room was haunted! By the end of this month, every month will be the same … Six lives have been lost …

If it wasn't for the fact that I wouldn't want to see an inn opened by you, I would have spent so much money to keep this thing under wraps … The Wanhua Inn had long since closed!

The inn's customers went into an uproar as soon as he said this, but most of them were laughing at him for randomly making things up and spouting nonsense. The lies were especially laughable as they filled the hall with laughter.

After a while, the clamor started to disperse, and everyone's attention shifted to another place. The surrounding crowd became lively, Shier Hong frowned, turned, and walked into the hall, he asked the bald man who was on the ground crying miserably, what was going on? Tell me the details.

Later, Chaxianyu and the other two found out from the shopkeeper that starting from half a year ago, the last room of the Wanhua Inn began to fill with dead people. One murder every month, and it was always a man who died. According to the witness who luckily survived, the waiter claimed that he woke up one night and was about to change shifts when he suddenly heard a rustling sound of clothes. He thought that a thief had entered the inn, so he followed the sound and searched for the source.

Just as he was about to raise the oil lamp and open the closed door to see what was going on, a long, hanging head of hair suddenly appeared in front of his face. The floating black ball of hair was motionless, only a hair away from his nose, dripping with black blood, as if it was alive.

The next day, he crawled up in the courtyard in a daze, thinking that he was dreaming when he saw them last night. In the end, news came from the hall that the inn was dead, a man, his body nowhere to be seen when he was discovered, only finding a bulbous head in the bloody grass... Afterwards, after a thorough search, all the broken limbs were found in the last room. They were bitten to pieces and in a disgusting state, making it difficult for people to look at them.

Shier Hong thought for a while, then raised his head and asked the shopkeeper and waiter who were sitting and reporting to him, whose body was bitten. Wang Fu, why didn't you judge that this was done by the Demonic Beast?

Wang Fu honestly answered. In the beginning, he had indeed suspected that the Demonic Beast was causing trouble, but no matter what, he could not find any trace of the Demonic Beast … Every time something happened, it would be the male guests that stayed in this room, and they would die the same way, and from beginning to end, there wasn't any trace of them. Therefore, they invited people to Jinan City, and the Soul Devourer who had strong soul power stayed there all night long, but didn't find anything, they said that they didn't sense any demonic qi at all …

Shier Hong frowned, he nodded his head and continued.

In the past half year, it had always appeared in that room from time to time. If it wasn't late at night, it was already close to dawn, scaring off all the guests and servants. Not to mention that it still had to kill an innocent man every month … If things continued like this, the paper would not be able to hold up the fire, and things would get out of hand sooner or later. Wang Fu said as he cried. He knelt beside Shier Hong and twitched his nose.

You kept six lives hidden from me, secretly using the money from the inn's business to buy the bailiffs, secretly making connections with the county government to pacify the citizens, and now you still want to continue buying customers despite the sky and sea. Wang Fu, if I didn't settle down here today, I really wouldn't have known that the inn I'm managing would have such a shocking matter. Shier Hong was expressionless. He closed his eyes and lightly tapped his fingertips on his knee. I will slowly calculate your crimes in the future.

Shier Hong brushed off his thin sleeves and stood up, then said to Chaxianyu: Yu Er, help me move my clothes into that haunted room, I'll stay here at the Wanhua Inn tonight. , take Yu Er to find another inn to stay. We'll meet up again tomorrow.

Chaxianyu immediately reacted, she shook her head like a rattle, pulling on Shier Hong's sleeves and resolutely rejected him. Young Master, it's better if I stay, I'm a woman, didn't the owner say that? That ghost only wants to kill men. If I stay here, I will be safer than if you stay with any man in the Master Luo. I'll stay here tonight and turn out the lights, and you two adults can watch in the dark and see if there's anything wrong. If they really met that ghost, it would be easier for them to work together so that they could uncover the real culprit behind the scenes.

Luo Rongji raised his eyebrows, crossing his arms in front of his chest, and spoke with a teasing tone. Chaxianyu, aren't you afraid of ghosts?

Chaxianyu replied without thinking.

She blinked her round black eyes, looked at Shier Hong quickly, and casually added, "But I'm more afraid of losing you and young master."
