Leng Ren saw that the innkeeper didn't dare to take money from this little overlord, so he stepped forward and took out his money bag to pay. They were not familiar with each other, and their King and His Majesty were not short of money, so there was no reason to let others pay for their lodging.
Qi, the little overlord, noticed Leng Ren's actions, reached out to stop the money bag he was taking out, and then looked at the innkeeper with dissatisfaction.
What else could they do at the inn if not stay? Or did he suspect his silver was fake? This person couldn't be slow, could he? The little overlord was not only annoyed by the innkeeper's gaze, but also felt a bit of a loss of face because of Leng Ren's action of taking out money.
He impatiently tapped the table with a silver ingot, so hard that he left an imprint on the wooden counter. "What are you looking at? Don't you understand that I said I want to stay? Do you want this inn to stay open or not?"
"And you! I said I want to treat you to a stay, and I will! Put your money bag back. If you don't give me this face, I'll be very angry!" The little overlord yelled at the innkeeper, then stared at Leng Ren with displeasure, pressing his money bag tightly to prevent him from taking out money.
Leng Ren did not refuse or resist, but turned to look at Huo Qiyuan. The latter nodded slightly, and he put the money bag back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Young Master Qi, please forgive me and apologize to all the honored guests. Please come this way, this way..."
The little overlord's angry roar brought the innkeeper back to his senses. He took the heavy silver ingots, waved away the approaching waiter, and personally led them to several superior rooms on the second floor with obsequious nods.
Holding the ten taels of silver in his palm, the innkeeper was still very uncertain. He didn't expect these people to actually come to stay. But could he really accept this money? Wouldn't that second-generation ancestor want it back later?
Thinking that the money might be taken back, the innkeeper's smile became a bit bitter. If only that customer had paid, maybe the money wouldn't have been taken back...
The best rooms in this inn were all on the second floor. This place was sunny but not directly exposed to the sun. In such hot weather, it was much cooler than other rooms.
Huo Qiyuan and Su Muqing directly requested a suite at the innermost end of the corridor. After they opened the door and went in, the little overlord still wanted to go in and chat with them about the food, but Huo Qiyuan closed the door without mercy, clearly indicating that he wanted them to leave.
After the two returned to their rooms, there were only three empty rooms left. Leng Ren and the others also took two rooms each, occupying all the remaining three. They would rest a bit at noon and then go to the restaurant early in the afternoon to make preparations.
For a time, the rooms closest to Su Muqing and Huo Qiyuan were all occupied. The remaining superior rooms were on the other side of the inn.
The little overlord pouted, looking at the tightly closed doors around him. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only walk to the other side. However, his mind began to wander again.
Clearly, those two were the masters, so why did they have to share one room? Instead, their subordinates, who spoke the most offensively, were made to live alone. Was it that he, Young Master Qi, was short of a room fee?
However, he never made things difficult for himself. If he couldn't figure something out, he would just pretend it didn't happen. He was originally going downstairs, but after taking only two steps, he felt too tired, so he simply took another room for himself. He would sleep here at noon, and after waking up in the afternoon, he would go to the restaurant with them.
As soon as Huo Qiyuan entered the room, he looked at Su Muqing with a dangerous gaze. The latter swallowed and her expression was a little timid. She opened her mouth as if to bargain again.
But Huo Qiyuan didn't give her a chance. He pressed his fingers on Su Muqing's lips. "Let's go into the space! Although this room isn't very hot, once we start moving..."
Huo Qiyuan spoke as his fingers moved away from her lips, and his hands started to wander over her body.
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Su Muqing trembled all over from his hands. She closed her eyes, made up her mind, and brought him into the space.
She originally wanted to procrastinate and say some nice words, perhaps Huo Qiyuan would let her off, but she didn't expect him to make a move in the room.
Leng Ren and the others' rooms were next door. With such a wooden structure, the soundproofing effect was definitely not good. If there was any noise later and they heard it, wouldn't it be embarrassing!
The temperature in the space was always constant, and coupled with the spiritual energy in the air, it made people feel very happy both physically and mentally, even breathing was an enjoyment.
Huo Qiyuan found the nourishing soup stewed by Mama Zhou and casually opened a can. Several days had passed, and the nourishing soup was still as if it had just been stewed, and even its temperature had not changed much.
"Brother Huo! You... you shouldn't drink it! It's so hot, drinking too much tonic will cause a nosebleed! Besides, your stamina is so good, you don't need these things at all..." Su Muqing was so scared when she saw Huo Qiyuan about to drink the soup that her words were a little incoherent.
"Oh? You think my stamina is very good?" Huo Qiyuan held the nourishing soup and looked at Su Muqing playfully.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's really good! I think drinking these things will affect your true strength, so let's not drink them..." Su Muqing nodded her head quickly, then snatched the nourishing soup from Huo Qiyuan's hand. Her mind shifted, and she transferred all the nourishing soup to another place.
Huo Qiyuan looked at his empty hands and the more than ten cans in front of him, which had also disappeared. He sighed, then stood up, untied the bandages on his body, and walked step by step towards Su Muqing.
"Since you are so sure of my abilities, I will definitely perform better today."
Su Muqing looked at the approaching person with a bitter smile, and decided to strike first. After Huo Qiyuan took off his coat, she leaped into his arms. "Brother Huo, you haven't held me like this for a long time. Hold me properly today!"
Although he knew that this bad girl was making excuses to stall for time, Huo Qiyuan still obeyed her command and hugged her tightly.
The two embraced for a long time. Huo Qiyuan picked her up and threw her onto the bed. Su Muqing still couldn't escape the consequence of being devoured. The long battle of three full hours, coupled with the few positions she had personally agreed to, finally left her completely limp on the bed, unable to even lift a finger.
Fortunately, time in the space was five times faster than outside. After the two finished, Su Muqing slept soundly in the space.
Su Muqing slept for more than five hours. When she opened her eyes, Huo Qiyuan had already cooked porridge and made her a few small dishes that suited her taste.
At noon, due to Qi, the little overlord's eating habits and appetite, neither of them had eaten much. So Su Muqing was woken up by the hunger in her stomach, otherwise, she could have slept for a few more hours.
