I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 290

Chapter 290 - A Good Black Shop

"I am a member of Dragon City. I heard that the North's Cold City Pa.s.s is grand and magnificent. I came up from the south to see the magnificent scene of the Cold City Pa.s.s. Does Lady Boss know how to proceed to the Cold City Pa.s.s?" Xiang Yun asked, staring at the Lady Boss.

"Dragon City's people!"

Upon hearing the words' Dragon City ', the Lady Boss's eyes lit up and she answered immediately.

"Dear guest, we're going back to Dragon Town, which is the only way to get to the Cold City Pa.s.s. You asked the right person, but a lot of the guests are staying in this shop!"

"Is that so?" Xiang Yun wore a cold smile on his face as he looked around at the walls and railings covered in dust. He then used a scrutinizing gaze to stare into the Lady Boss's eyes, thinking to himself, It's likely that these people won't be able to get out.

The Lady Boss felt rather uncomfortable under Xiang Yun's gaze. She hurriedly covered it up with a smile, and replied immediately, "There are two small paths to the north side of Dragon City. If you follow the right side of the path, you will be able to step onto the official road leading to the Cold City Pa.s.s. You will be able to reach the Cold City Pa.s.s by pa.s.sing along the way."

"However, esteemed guest, if you were to go to the Cold City Pa.s.s alone, it would be way too dangerous!"

"Oh, what's the danger? Are there beasts eating people along the way?" Xiang Yun asked doubtfully.

"Dear guest, you do not know this, but we have pa.s.sed through two mountains on our way back to the main road of Cold City. Normally, there would only be occasional fierce beasts on the mountain, but they can't be considered dangerous."

"However, in the last few months, there has been a group of bandits called 'a swarm of bees' on the mountain. Their activities were rampant as they robbed the travelling merchants. No one would be left alive even if they were to rob the merchants."

"A few days ago, there was a group of twenty to thirty people travelling together. They were intercepted by these thieves and looted all their belongings. They even cut off their heads and hung them on a tree. It was really scary!" The Lady Boss's face revealed a terrified expression.

"Oh, this actually happened. Could it be that the local officials don't care?"

"What the h.e.l.l? The magistrate sent yamen runners and guards to kill bandits in the mountains time and time again, but they never succeeded and they even lost a lot of officials. Now that we mentioned these bandits, everyone was afraid. Otherwise, the store wouldn't be so deserted."

Xiang Yun also wore a look of shock and fear as he asked, "Since that's the case, then wouldn't it be very dangerous if I went to the Cold City Pa.s.s by myself?"

"Of course, one must never walk that path."

"Then what should we do? I've already come this far, can it be that I have to return halfway?" Xiang Yun laughed coldly in his heart, but took the opportunity to ask.

The Lady Boss really gave him a good plan!

"Customer, there's no harm. Why don't you stay in the store for a few days and wait for the big caravan to come to the Cold City Pa.s.s? If you go with them, everything will be fine. No matter how many people there are, you still have a safeguard, no?"

Only then did Xiang Yun come to a realization as he hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists towards the boss, saying, "Thank you for the advice, Lady Boss. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go to the Cold City Pa.s.s!"

"Esteemed customer, you are too polite. Since that's the case, please stay in the store for a few more days. Don't call me Lady Boss anymore. If you want, just call me Lady Jade."

"Thank you, Madam Jade!" Xiang Yun thanked him once again.

At this moment, the dishes were also brought to the table by the waiter. He and the Lady Boss looked at each other in the dark and said 'take your time' before turning around and returning to the back hall.

Xiang Yun looked at the beef and ribs placed on the table, the smell of fresh meat filling his nose. However, he did not touch the chopsticks, but instead said to Madam Jade, "Madam Jade, could you arrange a guest room for me first? I want to drink in a room."

Of course, Madam Jade nodded her head repeatedly as she took Xiang Yun upstairs, finding him an upper room before personally bringing him food and wine.

Entering the room, the dishes and wine were already placed on the table. Xiang Yun could vaguely feel a gaze sweeping back and forth on him.

"Customer, is there anything else that you need me to tell you? How about I help you tidy up a bit more?" Recently, the business in the store has not been good. There are many rooms that have not been tidied up. "

"No need, thank you for your good will, Madam Jade." Xiang Yun immediately shook his head, declining Madam Jade.

"Then I'll leave first. If you need anything, just let me know."

As she spoke, she slowly backed out of the room. As she pa.s.sed by Xiang Yun, her legs gave way on purpose or unintentional, and she slumped towards him!

As Madam Jade fell, she subconsciously grabbed Xiang Yun's palm with one hand, the other brus.h.i.+ng against Xiang Yun's waist as she moved towards him.

At this moment, Xiang Yun's eyes were like lightning as his telepathic thoughts filled the surroundings. He twisted his body slightly, dodging the impending attack from Madam Jade as he withdrew the palm that she had grabbed with her left hand.

His right hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, while at the same time, his other arm wrapped around her waist, grabbing onto her other wrist. At the same time, his right hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Xiang Yun felt a soft and supple body stick itself onto him, his heart throbbing slightly.

"Hm!"

She shouted and finally stabilized her body.

"Madam Jade, are you alright?" Xiang Yun lowered his head to look at the Jade Mother in his arms as he smiled and replied.

"Ah, it's fine now. It's all my fault that I accidentally sprained my leg when I was walking. Please don't take offense to it."

She hurriedly broke free from Xiang Yun's embrace, bowing to him before turning to leave. The moment she turned her back on Xiang Yun, the smile on her face froze, turning into one of embarra.s.sment and regret.

Looking at the departing back of the Jade Maiden, Xiang Yun's gaze turned cold as he inwardly sneered in his heart.

Who would have thought that they would end up in such a dark shop on their way to the Cold City Pa.s.s. It is your fortune to meet a rich man like me, but unfortunately, you guys have also met me!

He had never eaten pork before, so how could he not have seen a pig run before?!

Xiang Yun's experience in the martial arts world was not considered rich, but it was as the saying went, 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles'. In the wuxia novels, once a chivalrous expert encounters a hoodlum shop, this was a line that would be mentioned in thick ink in many novels.

He had not expected that he would now encounter a hoodlum store. Xiang Yun was an expert with great courage, but he did not fear the methods of these people. Instead, he felt a faint sense of antic.i.p.ation as to what these people were up to, and who would be more skilled when compared to the hoodlums in his previous life.

Xiang Yun closed the door and returned to the dining table, leaving behind this jar of red, fragrant, and fragrant meat. He tossed the two plates of meat out of the window into a small river and returned to the dining table, retrieving some food from his storage ring.

Downstairs, outside a woodshed in the back hall of the tavern, the s.e.xy and seductive Madam Jade was walking across the yard quickly with a twist of her waist, pus.h.i.+ng the door open and entering into the house.

In the woodshed, other than the skinny inn waiter from before, there were also five other people who were as tall as a cow and as big as a horse.

The other three were tied up and thrown onto the ground, their mouths stuffed with cloth. All of them were bruised and swollen, with tears streaming down their faces. They could not make a sound from their mouths but could only whimper and cry incessantly.

The four men were not surprised by the scene. They all cast their gazes at the Jade Maiden, who had pushed open the door, in antic.i.p.ation.

"Lady Boss, how is it? Are the sheep fat?" the fierce-looking chef asked impatiently.

Madam Jade said dejectedly, "I don't know this kid's background. I only know that he is from the south."

"Oh?" Others might not know, but they did not know the ability of the inn's owner. Guests who entered the shop never had the chance to land on the beds in their rooms, and even their parents and the address of their ancestral home were all told to the Lady Boss. Who would have thought that Yu Niang would enter this young man's room without even finding out his exact details?

"Don't tell me that it's a dangerous idea, or did you see through our problem?" The waiter asked in surprise.

She frowned and said, "I don't think so. This kid is young, his skin is fair and delicate, and even though he is wearing a martial manner, he still has a n.o.ble air about him. He must not have come from an ordinary family, probably under the orders of his family's elders, so this kid is very cautious."

"When I entered the house earlier, I wanted to see if he had anything valuable on him. I discovered that he only had a weird looking huge sword and a light and light travel bag."

"Ah, even the luggage is light, but this kid is so poor?" The chef said in a rough voice.

"That's impossible. Didn't you hear from the Lady Boss that this kid is from a big family?" The waiter argued.

Madam Jade also nodded, "That's right, this kid is definitely not a poor guy. Just based on his huge sword, I guess that's something extraordinary. It's impossible for him to walk all the way from the south just to come here. I'm wondering, could this kid possess the legendary item!"

"What, square!"

The martial arts world at the foot of the mountain could not be compared to the mountains, and this time, it was even more so in the area of the Northern Forest County where the Dragon Town belonged. The land was barren, the common people were few, the spiritual energy and cloud power were thin, and the Yun Warriors' cultivation and knowledge were naturally not vast.

It was said that even the martial arts world would rarely use such legendary items like square items. Anyone who heard of them would regard them as treasures that they could only hope to obtain.

"Lady Boss, are you for real? This brat actually has something? " The chef licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.

"If we get the square inch, then we'll be rich. We won't need to open a black shop to earn money anymore, haha!" The waiter was grinning from ear to ear.

As for the two men, their complexions were dark, and the two of them seemed to be mute. They could only hum a few words and laugh along with the cook and the waiter.

Madam Jade laughed coldly, "Look at how foolish you people are. You are already so happy before you even get your hands on the item."

"This is just my guess, and I haven't confirmed it yet. I wanted to feel if this kid has a storage ring, or if he has a storage bag, but I didn't expect him to be so smart that he didn't let me do it. It seems like tonight, I will have to investigate more."
