Chapter 316 The Ninth City, Snakes and Scorpions

After successfully staying at the inn, it was already noon. Li Changxiao went downstairs, found the counter of the inn, and ordered some good wine from the fat shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, asking Li Changxiao to go upstairs first, and he would call the waiter to bring the good wine up later.

Not only that, the shopkeeper also told Li Changxiao that his store had a discount recently. If Li Changxiao ordered one or two more bottles of wine, he would give him an extra portion of soy sauce beef and half a roast duck.

Li Changxiao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took out the silver. Although he was penniless when he came to the inn, he had many ways to make money after he came out.

Being a bodyguard is the easiest and fastest way to make money, and he has made great progress along the way. He is so skilled in martial arts that he doesn't worry about no one wanting him. It can be said that if you master a skill, you will have no worries about money.

Look, at this moment, he is full of dozens of taels of silver.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised. If he had been in Laiqu Inn, he would never have seen so much silver. The stingy proprietress did the least but took the most. She always shouted that she had paid off her debts with her beauty.

Sometimes, if he looked at her a few more times, she would ask for "eye money". It seemed like a forced sale. Li Changxiao would return the favor and take her "dream money".

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Changxiao went upstairs. The shopkeeper smiled and watched him go. It was really a case of harmony making money. The name of this inn is "Snake Chang Inn". The style is different from other inns. The rooms in the inn can be roughly divided into "human room" and "animal room".

Li Changxiao lived in Human Room 307, which means the seventh room on the third floor. After returning to the house, Li Changxiao sat at the window, looking at the scenery outside the window and the bustling flow of people.

After arriving at the Ninth City, he was also confused. After all, the news about the "Soul-Prolonging Liquid" was very vague. However, since he was here, he would make the best of it. If there was any, he would be very happy. If there was none... he was helpless. Even if it was Yu Luosha, he felt that there was no need to make this trip for her.

Li Changxiao would always explain to her that he did not come here specifically for him. He just wanted to take a look. The Soul-Prolonging Liquid was just an opportunity.

Li Changxiao actually had a lot of wine on him. He could not make money by going to the inn, but he had a lot of good wine. In the middle of the night before leaving, Mei Sanniang went to the cellar and brought three jars of the original Spring and Winter Plum Fragrance Wine, and they were the oldest, and just placed them on the table.

There was no need to say more about the intention of this. Li Changxiao put it in the dream space, reluctant to drink it, reluctant to open it.

He did not know that after he left, the proprietress joked that these three jars of wine were older than the age of Little Li.

Li Changxiao has actually been learning from others. He dared to boast that he had at least figured out 40% of Mei Sanniang's winemaking skills. During that time, he also tried to make wine, and the wine he made was recognized by Mei Sanniang and the cook.

However, there was still a huge gap between his skills and Mei Sanniang's. It was because of this that Li Changxiao felt greedy and went downstairs to order two glasses of fine wine.

At the same time.

Mei Sanniang, who came and went in the inn, sneezed, her mouth corners slightly raised, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she said to herself that it seemed that she was not dead yet.

She felt much better, and then her eyebrows frowned again, and she changed her words and cursed: "This dead drunkard, he is thinking about my wine again, and he has never changed his bad habits."

...

Speaking here.

After Li Changxiao ordered a few taels of fine liquor, he returned to the guest room and didn't wait for long before someone knocked on the door. After opening the door, he found that the waiter of the store was a snake man with a human upper body and a snake lower body.

The last time he came to Green Domain, Li Changxiao walked on a desolate road, where it was hard to find human or animal tracks.

So at this moment, it was the first time for him to look at the snake man at such a close distance. The snake man was tall, with wider shoulders than the average man, and his face was generally slender and feminine.

The snake body stood upright, about eight feet tall, with vertical pupils of emerald green. When looking into his eyes, he could feel a hint of chill.

"Your wine and food." The snake man spoke, his two fangs flashing coldly, and his mouth was slightly protruding.

Li Changxiao took the wine and food, looked at it for a few more times, and took out a few copper coins from his pocket, intending to ask some questions about Green Domain.

Unexpectedly, the snake man turned around and left without looking back, his snake tail swinging in a curved shape, and his speed was not slow at all.

An ordinary adult man, even if he ran at full speed, might not be able to catch up with the snake man.

Li Changxiao smiled, took back the copper coins, took the wine and food, and returned to the room to enjoy.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful in his heart.

However, he has never been a person who is easily anxious and sad. After a few sips of good wine and a few bites of small dishes, he felt much happier.

After eating and drinking, he lay down on the bed.

He slept soundly and enjoyed himself.

When he woke up again, it was already evening. He rubbed his eyes and wanted to go out for a walk, but suddenly heard a few faint sounds of breaking wind.

Out of curiosity, he followed the sound and saw that in the backyard, the shopkeeper, who had a kind face, was holding a long iron whip and whipping a snake man hard.

His expression was ferocious and he spared no effort. This whip was enough to beat ordinary people to pieces, but it only left a shallow skin mark on the snake man.

The snake man held his head and dared not resist. The other snake man accomplices stared at the shopkeeper with cold pupils.

The shopkeeper noticed someone behind him, turned around and saw that it was Li Changxiao who had just checked in. The fierceness on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a kind smile.

He walked over and told Li Changxiao that these snake people were becoming less and less obedient to discipline. If they were not dealt with ruthlessly, they would not obey at all.

Li Changxiao looked back and said, "Shopkeeper, I have always heard that the snake people are insidious, cunning and vengeful. Aren't you afraid of their revenge by doing this?"

"Revenge?" The shopkeeper was obviously stunned when he heard this, "I didn't think they would retaliate?"

"This is something within the etiquette and law. Don't look at the iron whip I am holding. In fact, hitting them is like a ruler."

"As a clerk in the store, he doesn't work hard, and he makes mistakes repeatedly. He is becoming more and more disobedient to discipline. As the shopkeeper, I only give him a little punishment. How can I be retaliated?"

Hearing this, Li Changxiao nodded. The shopkeeper was not wrong about one thing.

The iron whip hitting the snake people is like a ruler hitting ordinary people.

If it is only this degree.

It is indeed far away from the word "revenge".

The shopkeeper had a very good first impression of Li Changxiao. This young man who came from afar was from the same tribe as him. He was handsome and although he behaved wildly, he was polite to others. So when he checked into the inn, he quietly gave him a 20% discount.

The two came to the front hall. Li Changxiao happened to have something to ask the shopkeeper, so he sat on the guest seat with him and started chatting.

Just then.

A sturdy scorpion man walked in.

The so-called scorpion man actually looks the same as the human race, but the skin color is dark purple, the body is taller than ordinary people, and there is an extra scorpion tail behind him.

Behind the scorpion man, there is also a little scorpion man. The little scorpion man is still young and has not yet gotten rid of his childishness, but his height is already the same as the innkeeper.

Moreover, the little scorpion man looks extremely arrogant.

The two opened their mouths and wanted to check into the inn. The shopkeeper flipped through the account book and rejected them without hesitation. The "beast room" had been rented out.
