The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix-Chapter 368 - Staring At Xiyue!

The lady shopkeeper looked at the little girl holding the account book. "Girl, how about you stay away from here for a few days and go to live in Heavenly Wind City?"

"Ah..." Xu Xiyue froze. She frowned, looking a little disappointed, and asked, "Is it because I didn't do it well or..."

"It's not that..." The lady shopkeeper patted her shoulder. "There have been rumors about the pervert thief recently. This White Moon Town is a remote place. I am worried that something will happen to you."

"But I'm not worried, so why should you be?"

"Your sister is busy with official duties and rarely comes back. There are no powerful cultivators in this town. What if the pervert thief comes here?"

"It's okay..."

---"Boss! Another pot of wine over here!"

When the shout came, Xu Xiyue pursed her lips and waved her hand in response. "Coming!"

Then, she put the account book on the counter and went to the backyard to tell the chef the names of the dishes.

The lady shopkeeper watched her helplessly. This girl had a sister who was the leader of the Snow Guard, but she had to come to her place to serve dishes and earn spirit stones to buy Gathering Spirit pills for cultivation.

She didn't know whether her sister was too stingy or she was prone to work and didn't want to rely on her.

Anyway, that pervert thief was really sick, actually targeting girls as young as twelve or thirteen.

The point was that he not only attacked but also kidnapped the girls. In the past few months, she heard from the drinkers that at least twenty little girls had been killed.

What were the Snow Guards of Heavenly Wind City doing? They couldn't even catch a stinky kidnapper.

"Sigh..."

The lady shopkeeper shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. Looking down, she started to count the bills again.

Tap tap---

Unfamiliar footsteps came from the door of the restaurant. The lady shopkeeper's ears twitched, and she was a little confused for a moment.

Because White Moon Town was a small town in the mountains and didn't have many specialties, it was rare for foreign cultivators to come over. Those who came to her place were basically familiar customers.

"Are you here to visit or to stay?"

As she greeted them, the lady shopkeeper looked up at the two people who entered the room, seeing a young man in white with a sword on his back and a girl wearing a bamboo hat with a red bird on her shoulder.

Ye Anping took a look at the interior decoration of the restaurant. It was exactly the same as the "Traveler's Pavilion" in his memory, even the wooden boxes piled in the corner and the names of the drinks matched.

However...

He didn't see Xu Xiyue in the store and was a little disappointed. After a pause, he walked to the counter and took out a small bag of spirit stones.

"We're staying at the inn. Two rooms."

The lady shopkeeper looked at the smile on his face that seemed like he had returned home and was a little confused. She glanced at the bag of spirit stones, then pretended to take a look in the account book from the side before shaking her head. "I'm sorry, sir... We're full. How about I recommend another inn?"

Ye Anping quickly said, "Then, can I pay extra and find some people staying at the inn to exchange for two rooms?"

"No, the rule of this inn is first come first served."

Ye Anping rarely had requirements for the place to stay, but...

After a pause, he lowered his head to look at the jade pendant on his waist, put it back into the storage bag, and took out another small bag of spirit stones.

"Boss, is this okay?"

As the jade pendant was placed into the storage bag, Ye Anping's Core Formation spiritual power instantly flowed out of his body, causing all the cultivators sitting on the first floor to close their mouths and stare quietly toward him.

Li Longling was also quite confused.

After they came out of the Commander's Mansion in Heavenly Wind City, Li Longling thought that Ye Anping would take her to stay somewhere in the city.

However, Ye Anping took the divine boat and brought her to this small town in the mountains. That was still fine, but now, he even took off the jade talisman that he'd been using to hide his cultivation level in order to stay at this inn.

What's so special about this place?

Could it be...

Li Longling quickly reached out and turned the head of the Fire Phoenix to stare at the lady shopkeeper...

She had heavy makeup and a curvaceous figure, and although she was not ugly, she had a smoky odor on her body. There was also a long-handled pipe hanging on her waist, which looked like a magic weapon...

Was she Xiyue?

Li Longling frowned and turned the Fire Phoenix's head back.

The lady shopkeeper was also shocked. She had the shop running for nearly forty years. Apart from Xu Xiyue's sister who would come to visit from time to time, the highest-level guest in her restaurant was only in the middle stage of Foundation Building.

Now that a Core Formation stage cultivator had come, she didn't even know how to receive him. "Master... this inn doesn't have proper conditions. I'm afraid you won't get used to living here."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not here for comfort. You have something that other places don't have."

Ye Anping smiled, glanced at the first floor again, and made an excuse. "I heard that your secret roasted chicken recipe is delicious, so I came here to try it."

Do Core Formation stage cultivators still need to eat?

The lady shopkeeper no longer dared to snub them. She hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and wanted to lead them to the private room on the third floor.

"Then, please, follow me. There are private rooms on the third floor..."

However, Ye Anping shook his head. "It's fine. We'll just sit on the first floor."

With that, he led Li Longling to an empty table on the first floor and sat down. When they saw him, the two cultivators at the second and third levels of Qi Refining sitting at the next table quickly moved their butts to pay the bill and leave.

After sitting down, Ye Anping took out the jade pendant again and hung it on his waist. "Boss, two roasted chickens and a pot of Wangchun wine."

Li Longling pouted, seeming dissatisfied that Ye Anping had brought her along when he came to see Xiyue and declined. "Master Ye, I don't want to eat."
