Chapter 303: Chapter 298: The Big Man at the Inn

Inside Dragon Origin City, the roads were exceptionally wide, with a straight path leading directly to the city center.

Yan Rufeng, Xu Jiaojiao, and Xiao Fei, on horseback with whips in hand, rode into the breeze straight towards the Dragon Origin Trading House.

The setting sun cast a slanting shadow, and the sky was full of stars. After half a day’s journey, Yan Rufeng and his companions were still nearly seven hundred kilometers away from the Dragon Origin Trading House.

Covering over three hundred kilometers in half a day was nothing for cultivators, but their horses couldn’t withstand such a large expenditure of energy.

"Whoa~"

Xiao Fei pulled on the reins to stop his horse and turned back with a slight smile.

"Brother Yan, Sister Jiaojiao, let’s rest at that inn up ahead for the night. We’ll continue to the Dragon Origin Trading House tomorrow!"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Brother Xiao, do you want to drink again?"

"Haha~"

Xiao Fei laughed heartily, "Brother Yan, I don’t mind at all, but the horses need to eat grass."

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao said sweetly, "Brother Rufeng, let’s go along with Brother Xiao."

"Hyah..."

The three arrived in front of the inn and saw someone running towards them.

"Three guests, are you here to stay or to rest?"

Xiao Fei replied softly, "We need both."

The waiter’s face showed a bit of difficulty, "I’m sorry, but we only have one guest room left. However, you all..."

Yan Rufeng glanced at Xiao Fei, who shook his head.

"Brother Yan, I think we should continue on our way."

Yan Rufeng said indifferently, "Alright, let’s go."

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao giggled, "Brother Rufeng, do you expect me to camp out in the wilderness?"

Yan Rufeng, seeming a bit helpless and troubled, said, "Men and women are different. How do we share one room?"

At this moment, the waiter weakly suggested,

"Sirs, we do have a firewood room left. Would you be willing to settle there?"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "To avoid Sister Jiaojiao sleeping outside, the firewood room is acceptable."

Xiao Fei said, "Brother Yan!"

Yan Rufeng looked at Xiao Fei.

"Brother Xiao, are you unwilling?"

Xiao Fei smiled, "Brother Yan, it doesn’t matter to me, but how can you lower yourself to sleep in the firewood room?"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Brother Xiao, if we delay any longer, even the firewood room will be gone!"

The three dismounted and tied up their horses. Before they even entered the inn’s hall, they heard a commotion.

"My fellow cultivator, have you heard? The Dragon Origin Trading House is auctioning off a top-grade Pseudo Immortal Artifact before the competition!"

"Hehe!"

One person laughed, "So what? Not to mention a top-grade Pseudo Immortal Artifact, even a low-grade Pseudo Immortal Artifact is something we common folk can only look at."

"Huh!"

"Well, at least that’s better than nothing."

Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei heard this clearly and exchanged smiles and headshakes.

"Three guests, please this way!"

Under the waiter’s guidance, Yan Rufeng, Xu Jiaojiao, and Xiao Fei sat down in a corner.

Along the way, those drinking inside the inn cast unusual glances at the gracefully poised Xu Jiaojiao. Some even showed lecherous smiles and wiped their mouths.

"This girl is quite the beauty. She’ll be mine tonight!"

"Tsk, tsk."

"Her soft skin and slender waist truly make her a rare gem in the human world. I’d love to pin her beneath me..."

...

"Three guests, what would you like to eat?"

Yan Rufeng said, "Two jars of fine Red Flower Wine, and you can decide the rest."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

As soon as the two jars of wine were brought, Xiao Fei impatiently opened one and poured Yan Rufeng a bowl.

Seeing this, Xu Jiaojiao raised her pink fist and knocked on the table.

"Brother Xiao, why don’t you pour me some wine?"

Xiao Fei smiled, "Sister Jiaojiao, you want to drink?"

Xu Jiaojiao lifted her chest and scoffed, "What, can’t I drink?"

Yan Rufeng softly said, "Sister Jiaojiao, be mindful of your image. This isn’t Yingxian Tower."

Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Yan Rufeng.

"I guess I can have some juice!"

"Haha..."

In the hall, a big-bearded man laughed heartily, "Little lady, do you want to drink? Come over here; I have some."

Xu Jiaojiao ignored him.

"Yoo-hoo!"

The big-bearded man suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "What, you look down on me?"

"Hehe!"

Xu Jiaojiao chuckled and raised her voice, "Shopkeeper!"

A waiter hurried over.

"Guest, what do you need?"

"There’s a dog barking here. Do you manage it or not?"

The waiter looked around, scratched his head in confusion, and said, "Guest, there is no dog here!"

Xu Jiaojiao turned her gaze to the big-bearded man.

"There!"

"Isn’t that one right there!"

"What?"

The big-bearded man, seeing Xu Jiaojiao pointing at him, instantly flew into a rage.

"Wretched woman, who are you calling a dog?"

Xu Jiaojiao coldly replied, "The one who responds is the dog!"

"Haha..."

The hall burst into laughter.

The big-bearded man, furious and humiliated, roared, "What are you all laughing about!"

"Hmph!"

Someone in the crowd coldly said, "What, taking your anger out on us? Believe it or not, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

The big-bearded man didn’t dare mess with that person. He stared menacingly and strode rapidly towards Xu Jiaojiao.

"You wretched woman, I’ll..."

"Smack!"

A loud slap landed on the big-bearded man’s face.

"Who?"

The big-bearded man was suddenly stunned and roared, "Who dares to hit me?"

Yan Rufeng slowly stood up and said indifferently, "If you take one more step, it won’t just be a slap."

"Hehe!"

The big-bearded man sneered, "Boy, you’re just in the early stage of tribulation crossing, and you dare to meddle? Now I’ll..."

"Smack!"

Another loud slap landed on the big-bearded man’s face.

"Boy, you’re asking for death!"

Fury and a violent killing intent burst from the big-bearded man. His impressive frame shook, emanating a suffocating pressure that swarmed towards Yan Rufeng.

At this moment, a dominant voice echoed in the hall.

"Dammit, if anyone causes trouble in my inn, no one will leave alive."

A mighty man leaped forward and landed in front of everyone. With a wave of his large hand, the big-bearded man’s pressure dissipated completely!

Anyone who could run an inn in Dragon Origin City was no ordinary person. The moment the innkeeper appeared, everyone fell silent.

The big-bearded man seethed with anger and shouted, "Manager Yan, that boy hit me first."

"Hmph!"

Manager Yan snorted coldly.

"Zhu Dabiao, I’ve tolerated your freeloading, but how dare you offend my guests? So what if he slapped you?"

Zhu Dabiao protested.

"But..."

Manager Yan roared, "But what? If there’s nothing else, get lost!"

Zhu Dabiao hung his head low and was about to leave in disgrace.

"Wait!"

Yan Rufeng stood up again.
