Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Precautions

The owner gave 7 keys to Bai Xiang. He gave one key to her daughter and her son. He took one key to himself. He gave the other keys to Xiao Li asking her to divide to the remaining rooms.

Xiao Li remembered the third prince. So, she gave one to Hou Tingguang first for the third prince. Xiao Li and Hu Meifeng decided to share one room. Yu Xiaohui and Yu Xiaoqing shared a room. Yu Nianzu was supposed to share a room with Hou Tingguang. However, he never saw him for a whole night.

Liu Longwei wanted to stay in the room beside Bai Xifeng. However, both of them had been occupied by Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng. So, Liu Longwei just needed to grit his teeth and stay in the room that had been provided to him.

Bai Xiang asked the owner to prepare food for them. The owner was happy that he would get much more money from this group.

They went down to have some dinner. Turned out this inn was also a restaurant during the night. However, it was slightly different compared to the restaurant. It was like a bar or tavern. They could see some men sitting around and drinking wine.

Then, Bai Xifeng’s group came down, those men were watching them. Well, that was because they had seen Bai Xifeng’s group before. Some of them, their eyes were shining when they saw women in the group.

Yu Xiaoqing grabbed Yu Xiaohui’s hand because she was feeling uncomfortable being stared at by those men like that. Yu Nianzu noticed it and also stood by her sister.

Bai Xiang thought his daughter would be scared. He seemed to forget that his daughter had been staying in the military camp with other men as well. So, he attempted to stay by her side. However, Bai Xifeng walked in front of the men bravely.

"Owner, where is our food?" Bai Xifeng shouted as she sat at the table.

"Okay, I will serve you like away." The owner shouted back.

Bai Xifeng was used to seeing this situation. Well, she travelled a lot. Of course, she used to be around men like this. Well, it was like going to a bar. The only difference was there was no music here and women seemed not to be allowed to be at this kind of restaurant unless she was the worker here.

The owner served the food. "I hope you don’t mind a bit noisy here."

"It is okay. I will call you if we need anything." Bai Xiang said.

"Father, do you mind if I do something?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Xiang asked.

Bai Xifeng took out the rune. She activated the rune. Out of a sudden, the noise around disappeared. People in the Bai Xifeng group were surprised.

"Xixi, what did you do?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"I use a barrier rune. It barricades our surroundings and also cancels the noise. So, we can enjoy our dinner in peace." Bai Xifeng said. She turned to Yu Xiaoqing. "You don’t have to worry anymore. They can not enter her even if they want."

Yu Xiaoqing felt happy when her master noticed that she was scared of the men around her. "Thank you, Master."

Everyone in Bai Xifeng’s group smiled when they watched the scene. They started to eat.

People who were outside the barrier noticed something was off. They saw those people were talking and laughing but they seemed did not hear anything at all. It was like they were talking without sound.

One of the men stood up and pretended that he wanted to go to where the owner was. He walked to get closer to Bai Xifeng’s group. However, he collided with the invisible wall. That was hurt.

Bai Xifeng noticed that. She looked at the man. Since she looked at the man, everyone in her group also looked at the man. The man shivered when he saw everyone in that group was staring at him. He immediately walked away from there.

"Why do you come back?" One of the men asked.

"I hit something before I get closer to them." The man said.

"What? Hit something? Are you serious?"

"I think he is just scared because they looked at him."

"Then, look at them. Do you feel weird? You see their mouths are moving but we can not hear anything. It is like they are in different spaces." The man shouted.

Everyone went silent when they heard the man’s theory. Then, the men were smiling. They knew. They were going to be rich tonight. They also could play with some girls. They could imagine that their night would be amazing with those women. As for the men, they could only sell them to slaves or male brothels.

Only one man felt something was off. He felt that those people in the group were people that he should not mess around with. Thinking about this, he decided he would not be joining the men tonight. He did not need money at this moment.

Bai Xiang paid the owner for the food. The owner was happy to see the money. They went upstairs to their rooms. They saw that the men were still enjoying their drink.

Bai Xiang glanced at the men. He hoped the night would go by without anything happened. Well, not like he was worried about anything.
