Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 457 - 455

Chapter 457: 455

Zhao Yong took the register and was about to write his name.

Then a delicate jade hand pressed onto the paper.

"I advise you to vacate two Sky rooms."

Zhao Yong withdrew the register from under the jade hand, quickly wrote his name, handed it to the innkeeper and left.

He didn’t say another word, or even glance at the young lady.

"You won’t ignore a toast and take a penalty drink!" the lady in red became angry when Zhao Yong directly ignored her.

"Rest assured, whether it’s a toast or a penalty drink, I won’t drink!" Zhao Yong left this remark and went straight upstairs.

"Yu’er, don’t be disrespectful, he’s just a servant! Why bicker with him?" The man in white spoke up.

The woman named Yu’er was called Zhuge Meiyu. Once she understood, she agreed that conversing with a servant was beneath her dignity!

Zhuge Meiyu exhibited her Qinggong, with a swift somersault, landing in front of Xiao’er and her companions.

The people in the inn couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Beautiful!"

"The lady has great skills!"

...

"You all, please vacate two Sky rooms!" Hearing everyone’s compliments, Zhuge Meiyu stared challengingly at Xiao’er, slightly raised her chin and said arrogantly.

Zhuge Meiyu was naturally beautiful, captivating everyone. However, she had one particular trait: she hated women more beautiful than herself.

Xiao’er was looking down at the stairs, hearing these words, she raised her head, her exquisite face appeared in front of Zhuge Meiyu.

The girl’s face had matured over the past year. Under such a beautiful complexion, her charm was absolutely ravishing.

Please? Is this how one asks politely? Xiao’er raised her eyebrows, her voice was as melodious as the song of a nightingale: "And what if we won’t?"

Zhuge Meiyu came to her senses from the shock of Xiao’er’s appearance: "Then my whip will answer you!"

Zhuge Meiyu lifted her long whip and swung it towards Xiao’er’s face.

The fierce wind brought by the whip forced Xiao’er to close her eyes.

Feeling a sting on her face, Xiao’er stretched out her hand, ready to test the fruits of her recent training.

Shangguan Xuanyi’s large palm covered Xiao’er’s small hand. With two fingers, he effortlessly caught the incoming whip, and with the lightest of flicks sent Zhuge Meiyu flying down the stairs.

A white figure swiftly extended a hand to catch her, saving her from tumbling down the street.

The inn went silent, everyone held their breath.

How profound must one’s skills be to effortlessly send a person flying several meters away?

The innkeeper, seeing this, grinned: "Dear guests, you can fight, but don’t forget to compensate for any damage to the property."

Xiao’er looked at the innkeeper: What a smart man!

When Zhuge Meiyu stood up again, her face was flushed. Although she was skilled in martial arts, this was the first time someone had sent her flying with just two fingers.

Just how much superior was his martial arts? She could do nothing but yield at that moment.

She wanted to rush up again, but the man in white shook his head at her, "That man’s skills are unfathomable, Yu’er, don’t provoke him. Otherwise, I can’t ensure that I could protect you this time."

"Brother, let go, I’m not going to cause trouble, I’m going to apologize." Zhuge Meiyu’s face reddened a bit. She had seen the man clearly: poised and graceful, orchid-like elegance, pure as the driven snow... Every complimentary word could be applied to him without exaggeration.

Upon hearing this, surprise flashed across the face of the man in white. His little sister had been wilful, domineering, and capricious throughout her life, never in her past decade had she ever uttered the word ’apology’.

He unconsciously loosened his grip, then, like a sparrow, Zhuge Meiyu flew towards Xiao’er again, landing in front of her.

Xiao’er quietly watched her. Although she was far away, Xiao’er had heard her earlier remarks thanks to her recent martial arts training. Was this a case of picking on the weak?

Seeing that Shangguan Xuanyi tossed her out with only two fingers, she dared not provoke them further?

Zhuge Meiyu felt a twinge of discomfort at the sight of Xiao’er’s beauty. She had never seen a woman more beautiful than herself!

However, she didn’t know what relationship the dignified young man had with her, so she didn’t dare to make a move again.

She withdrew her gaze and smiled at Shangguan Xuanyi: "Young Master, I’m truly sorry for before, we’ve come a long way, could you perhaps offer us one of the Sky rooms?"

"No!" Shangguan Xuanyi said indifferently, then continued to walk ahead, pulling Xiao’er along.

The waiter hastened to lead the way for them.

"It’s just a room, and they are clearly servants. Why can’t one of them stay in an Earth room instead?" Zhuge Meiyu pointed at Zhao Yong and Yang Mei.

As a princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she had never been so humiliated. Her request was rejected outright!

"So what if they’re servants? To me, they are my people!" Shangguan Xuanyi said without a hint of remorse.

The implication being that she wasn’t anything to him.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Meiyu’s face turned every imaginable colour!

Then, a guest sitting downstairs who was astounded by Zhuge Meiyu’s martial arts skills and the handsome young man said, "Miss, I booked an extra room, I can give it to you!"

"Nothing necessary! I’ll offer five times the price to buy it from you!" Zhuge Meiyu proudly said.

She cast a glance at Shangguan Xuanyi, she didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be upset over losing fifty taels of silver because of a servant!

Most people visiting Yunshi Town were traders, and traders valued profit above all.

"The lady indeed is generous, I’m deeply impressed. There’s no need for the silver, it’s fate that we met, consider it a greeting gift from me, Luo Jin."

"No need, I’m not a freeloader!" After saying this, Zhuge Meiyu threw a silver banknote at him.

"The lady is indeed skilled." The man smiled and picked up the silver pieces.

Shangguan Xuanyi continued to lead Xiao’er forward without pausing.

Xiao’er glanced back at Zhuge Meiyu, curiosity intrigued in her heart. In Minze Country, there were indeed few folks surnamed Zhuge.

"Brother Shangguan, next time, don’t help me. I want to test how much I’ve improved."

"Alright."

The Sky room, costing ten taels for a night, was quite nice - clean and comfortable.

Xiao’er could smell the fresh scent of soapberry and sunlight on the quilt.

After a long day’s travel, all Xiao’er wanted to do was take a bath and have a good sleep. But in the bustling inn, she had to be careful when using space resources.

She had the waiter bring her hot water, then stepped into the spatial bathroom for a comfortable bath. After leaving the spatial realm, she manipulated the bathtub’s water to make it appear used, and then had it removed.

After her bath, Xiao’er felt warm. She crawled into bed and soon fell asleep.

It wasn’t until dinnertime when Shangguan Xuanyi knocked at her door, summoning her to dinner, that she woke up.
