Chapter 226: They Are Married

Because of Xu Xiang’s ordinary appearance, the innkeeper walked past her without giving her a second look. Xu Xiang looked at the innkeeper’s swaying hips and her well-maintained body thoughtfully.

Along the way, she observed everything there and found that it was very strange. Apart from the bloody smell that Mu Yucheng smelled before, the strangest thing she found so far was the servants. Who cleans the yard at night when there is not even moonlight to brighten the surroundings?

She also found that when the servants walked, there were no footsteps or sounds. Thinking of this, she first had a guess that these servants were all highly skilled martial arts experts. But after observing more, she realized that those servants didn’t have shadows.

When Xu Xiang was observing the surroundings and servants outside, Mu Yucheng and others had already stepped into the inn. Seeing that she didn’t follow, Mu Yucheng turned around and saw her looking around the yard with a slight frown on her face.

"Miss Xu."

Mu Yucheng called her, but Xu Xiang didn’t answer him or look back. Thinking that she might be too preoccupied and didn’t hear him, he called her again.

"Miss Xu."

This time, he called her louder, but she still didn’t hear him. After thinking about it, Mu Yucheng decided to go out and check on her. As soon as he took a step, the innkeeper walked up to him with a seductive smile.

Mu Yucheng gave the innkeeper a cold look, and his eyes signaled her to get out of the way. Seeing his cold eyes, the innkeeper smiled instead of stepping aside. She stretched out her slender fingers with her nail that was painted in red, wanting to touch Mu Yucheng’s arm. Unfortunately, before her fingers touched the corner of his sleeve, Mu Yucheng took a few steps back and distanced himself from the innkeeper.

Seeing him avoiding her with clear disgust in his eyes, the innkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly smiled coquettishly. She raised her hand to cover her sexy red lips, and her wide sleeves slipped off, revealing her white and slender arm. If it were an ordinary man, seeing this scene in front of him, he would be instantly fascinated by the innkeeper. It’s a pity that Mu Yucheng is not an ordinary man.

He frowned slightly, then raised his long legs, and walked past the innkeeper in just two steps.

Seeing that he really wanted to go out, the innkeeper said coquettishly: "Guest, where are you going? We have prepared food and drinks for everyone. Please come and enjoy first."

After finishing speaking, the innkeeper walked to Mu Yucheng and whispered softly beside his ear. "If you want, I can accompany you to your room later. What do you think, Guest?"

When she spoke in a soft voice, she intentionally let out a moan at the end of her speech, and the hot air sprayed into Mu Yucheng’s ear. Then, her watery eyes, filled with sensual invitation, looked at Mu Yucheng’s handsome face. It’s a pity that all of her seductions met with a statue-like Mu Yucheng.

Mu Yucheng ignored her, walked out calmly without even sparing a glance at the innkeeper. There was still no expression on his face, and there was not even a slight change on his cold face. The corner of Huan Yun’s lips curled into a smile, amused by what happened just now.

She shook her head helplessly and said, "Look at that. The innkeeper tried very hard to seduce him, but he didn’t even spare a glance at her. I don’t know why Xu Xiang married him."

Xiao Shao was taken aback when he heard her words. He looked at Huan Yun and asked, "Young Lady, what did you just say?"

Huan Yun turned to look at him, and asked in confusion: "Huh?"

Seeing her puzzled look, Xiao Shao said, "Just now... Can you repeat what you just said?"

Huan Yun was confused for a few seconds before realizing which sentence he was asking, and said, "Ah... You are asking about Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng?"

Xiao Shao nodded, waiting for her to speak. Although he looks calm, he is actually flustered. Huan Yun didn’t notice the anxiety in Xiao Shao’s heart, so she broke off a nut and put it in her mouth leisurely.

She then calmly said, "You heard me right. Xu Xiang and Mu Yucheng are married."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Shao clenched his hands, looked at her with a stiff polite smile with a hint of warning and said, "Young Lady, you shouldn’t casually make a joke about this matter."

Seeing that he didn’t believe her words, Huan Yun just smiled and asked, "Did you see the rings on their fingers?"

Xiao Shao nodded and said calmly: "Those are spatial rings."

Huan Yun shook her head, took a sip of water, and said, "You don’t understand. In our hometown, it is not a small matter for women to accept rings from men."

"Why?" Xiao Shao asked again.

Seeing that he really didn’t know about this custom, Huan Yun decided to do a good deed and explained to him.

Cracked another nut, she said, "There is a custom in our hometown. When a man proposes marriage to a woman, he will give her a ring. If the woman accepts his proposal, then she will accept the ring. When two people wear the exact same ring, it means they are married."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Shao’s face darkened, and he said, "But what Mu Yucheng gave Miss Xu is a spatial ring."

Huan Yun looked at his gloomy face with pity, and said, "But those spatial rings are still identical rings, and the two of them are still wearing those rings. No matter what kind of rings they are, they all represent the same meaning. As outsiders, we don’t know the reason why Mu Yucheng gave the spatial ring to Xu Xiang. We also can’t be sure that those rings are just ordinary spatial rings to them, and those rings didn’t represent any special meaning."
