Desire Restaurant [Complete] - 5

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Teasing

"Yanxuan, what are you thinking about!" Su Ying asked.

Yanxuan's body jolted, and he quickly replied, "Miss Su Ying, I was just wondering if anything unusual happened last night."

"Don't worry about it, that's not your business! Just make sure the restaurant is running smoothly while we're away. Yingwu will be a waitress in a bit, so you can stay at the bar and take notes. Yingwu hasn't been here long, so you're more familiar with note-taking." Su Ying casually instructed.

Upon hearing this, Yanxuan's face flushed red, and he forced a smile, saying, "Miss Su Ying, I..."

"What?" Su Ying asked, looking at him.

"I... I can't read, I don't know how to take notes," Yanxuan said softly.

Su Ying and Tang Jing laughed together. Su Ying said, "I forgot about that. Then Yingwu will take the notes. You can continue with yours! When you're taking notes, just tell Yingwu which notebook to write down what. You should know that, right?"

Yan Xuan nodded quickly, pointing to several notebooks hanging on the bar wall, "I know that. Drinks are recorded in the red notebook, and food is recorded in the black notebook..."

Before he could finish, Tang Jing gave him a hard thud on the forehead, making him see stars.

"Useless! You've got it backwards!" Tang Jing said angrily.

Yan Xuan nodded quickly, covering his head with his hand, his eyes secretly glancing at Tang Jing's ample breasts. In that instant, he had already leered at this woman countless times.

After Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi left the Desire Restaurant, Yingwu walked out of the back door laughing loudly, repeatedly saying, "Serves you right! Serves you right! Why didn't I smash your stupid head in?"

Yanxuan rubbed his head and said, "If I had been smashed in, what would you have done? Then no one would have let you have such a comfortable time..." As he spoke, his eyes darted back and forth over Yingwu's chest.

Yingwu blushed, spat at Yanxuan, and went to the bar, her face grim as she flipped through the two notebooks.

Business was the same for all restaurants; in the morning, apart from the overnight guests, customers who needed drinks and food wouldn't arrive until noon. Since the circus members who had stayed overnight had already left, the Desire Restaurant was quite deserted at this time, with no customers coming in.

Bored, Yanxuan wandered around the lobby for a while, then ran to the door and looked into the distance. Since Tang Jing and the others weren't there, no one would scold him for what he did.

After a while, bored, Yanxuan shamelessly walked to the outside of the bar and smiled at Yingwu, "Yingwu, still angry?"

"Get lost! Stay away from me! You fatso!" Yingwu didn't even look up before cursing viciously.

Yanxuan said, "Why are you so rude? You're not like a princess at all!"

Yingwu's expression changed. She looked around to make sure no one could hear Yanxuan, then glared at him and said, "Do you really want me to ignore you from now on?"

Yanxuan grinned mischievously, "How could I? If you ignore me, what's the point of my life?"

"Then go die!" Yingwu's words almost made Yanxuan choke.

After a moment of silence, Yanxuan said, "Yingwu, don't you realize how good I am to you?"

"You're good to me? You scoundrel, how dare you say that?" Yingwu said.

Yan Xuan clicked his tongue twice and said, "Sigh, it seems that people who do good deeds anonymously are definitely fools!"

Ying Wu looked at Yan Xuan in surprise and said, "What do you mean? Have you ever done a good deed?"

Yan Xuan said, "You heard that too, didn't you? Miss Su Ying initially arranged for me to take notes. Your job was to run up and down the stairs. Think about it, if I had followed Miss Su Ying's instructions, wouldn't you have been exhausted by now?"

Ying Wu stared at Yan Xuan for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Are all half-elves this shameless?" "Is it thick? I'm starting to doubt it. Your face is so chubby, is it all skin and bones?"

Then, Yingwu continued, "You can't read yourself, and you expect me to feel like I've received some great favor from you? Don't you know how shameless you are!"

Yanxuan blurted out, "Who can't read!"

Yingwu slammed the notebook down in front of him and said, "Can you read? Fine, then read it to me."

Looking at the crooked characters in the notebook, Yanxuan suddenly felt a headache coming on, secretly cursing himself for exaggerating so much.

Suddenly, Yanxuan's eyes lit up.

Damn it, he had been in this world for so long and hadn't even noticed that there was one thing around him that was the same as in his previous life: numbers. The numbers in this world were also Arabic numerals, 1, 2... just like in his previous life. It was just that the way the numbers were written in this world was a bit strange.

"Who said I can't read!" Yan Xuan's confidence surged after this discovery. "I'll read it to you right now!"

With that, Yan Xuan pointed to the notebook with his finger, reading "3, 2," and then several more numbers in succession, much to Ying Wu's astonishment.

Ying Wu looked at Yan Xuan in utter surprise and said, "You actually know how to read? What's this?" Ying Wu pointed to a string of characters.

Oh no! He was

about to be exposed!

Yan Xuan forced a smile and said, "This? This is easy..."

"What's it?!" Ying Wu pressed.

"Uh... haha, Ying Wu, isn't it a bit childish of you to ask me such a simple question?" Yan Xuan chuckled awkwardly.

"Tell me!" Ying Wu pointed heavily at the notebook with her finger.

Just then, an old voice suddenly came from outside.

"The tables and chairs have arrived, the tables and chairs for the Desire Restaurant..."

Yan Xuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Ying Wu as if he had been granted a pardon, saying, "I'll read them to you later. Now, something's up!" He then called out loudly, "Coming..."

Backstage at the Wonderful Circus.

The female magician Xu Jing sat in a chair, her brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

The performance on stage was in full swing, and the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience prevented Xu Jing from continuing her serious contemplation.

Suddenly, she stood up, slowly walked to the gap in the tent to look outside, then returned to her chair. Her lips moved slightly, and a golden light emanated from her body, enveloping her like a sealed sphere.

This magical barrier could block out all external sounds, making it the best way for magicians to meditate or contemplate.

Suddenly, a tall, slender figure walked to the gap in the tent, saw the scene inside, and quietly stood guard outside.

After a moment, the golden light around Xu Jing's body vanished, and the magical barrier disappeared.

"Come in," Xu Jing said softly.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mysterious Organization

The tall, thin figure entered the backstage area and stood bowing before Xu Jing. He was a half-elf man, possessing the features of a half-elf: an ordinary face, a thin frame, and pointed ears hidden in his messy gray hair.

"Boss, you're finally back," the half-elf said, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation, his thin body trembling slightly with extreme joy.

"Xiulens, your body is even weaker now," Xu Jing said calmly.

The half-elf Xiuluns chuckled and said, "Boss, I've always been like this. However, until I've repaid your kindness, Xiuluns will live well."

Xu Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "I hope so."

Xiuluns said, "Boss, may I give you a breakdown of the accounts now?"

Xu Jing nodded and said, "As quickly as possible; I'll be going on stage soon."

Xiuluns didn't say much more, saying, "For the past few years, we've been providing the largest merchant guild among the four major human empires with commercial intelligence about the Elf Empire. Similarly, we've also provided the Elf Empire's commercial organizations with commercial intelligence about the human empire..." "Intelligence. Now, we have an excellent reputation and no longer simply collect commissions. Instead, we can obtain half a percent of the shares in addition to the commissions. Half of the profits they get based on our shares belong to us."

Xu Jing gazed at Xiu Lunsi and said, "Xiu Lunsi, buying you in the slave market was definitely the most successful transaction of my life. I am truly satisfied with your abilities."

Xiu Lunsi looked up at Xu Jing, his eyes filled with immense gratitude: "Boss, if it weren't for you, those slave owners would have executed me, this worthless piece of trash who couldn't be sold. You gave me my life." "

Xiu Lunsi, tell me about the situation in Yharnam City. I don't have a complete picture from the intelligence reports," Xu Jing said.

"In the entire Yharnam City, 40% of the merchants have joined our organization, using their trade opportunities to obtain valuable business intelligence. I think that's why you established the organization's base in Yharnam City in the first place, right? The favorable geographical environment allows us to obtain business intelligence from both humans and elves, as well as information on the goods they need, in the shortest possible time," Xiu Lunsi said respectfully.

Xu Jing said calmly, "You're wrong. I didn't establish the business intelligence organization. Ha, Mr. Xiuluns, do I look that old? The founder of this organization is my father."

"Your father?" Xiuluns said in surprise.

"Yes, my father." Xu Jing nodded and said, "Moreover, my father is in Yanan City."

"Ah? Your father is in..."

"Alright, Xiuluns, these are questions you shouldn't ask. I've already told you a lot. Do me a favor. I need you to give me a file on all the suspicious people in Yanan City as quickly as possible." Xu Jing said.

"Boss..." Xiuluns said with difficulty, "Didn't you tell me not to provoke those mysterious figures in Yanan City? You said they might be reclusive masters living here. If we investigate them, won't they find out and cause trouble for the organization?"

Xu Jing said, "I'm glad you still remember my words, but now there's a very troublesome matter."

"Boss, can Xiuluns help you with this?" Xiuluns said in a low voice.

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "You should know that not long ago, many adventurers gathered in Yanan City to search for treasure, right? It's said that even the Queen of the Gara Empire came here."

Xiu Lunsi said, "I remember, I reported this to you at the time, but you didn't let me get involved."

Xu Jing said, "Our current strength is only in the intelligence network, so naturally we don't have the ability to participate in the treasure hunt. You know, it's a huge gamble; the chance of success is slim, but the losses will definitely be huge."

Xiu Lunsi nodded, secretly wondering why Xu Jing suddenly brought this up. As a subordinate, it was very important to know the master's wishes at all times.

Xu Jing glanced at Xiu Lunsi and said, "You should know about the situation in the Jialuo Empire, right? Queen Qing controls the court, and the eldest prince, Yin Ying, is unwilling to have his throne usurped. They each have their own ministers supporting them, and their infighting is quite fierce. Last time, Queen Qing failed in her treasure hunt, truly losing face..."

Xiu Lunsi listened carefully to Xu Jing's words, his mind racing. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that Prince Yin Ying is going to search for treasure again?"

Xu Jing looked at Xiu Lunsi with admiration and said, "Xiu Lunsi, you're even smarter than I thought. You're right." "The Silver Eagle Prince of the Garo Empire has secretly issued a bounty to all underground organizations for the treasure!"

Xiu Lunsi wanted to speak, but Xu Jing waved her hand to stop him. Xu Jing continued, "I have carefully studied the information you gave me describing the situation at that time. After the treasure incident, there has been no further news about the treasure, and there is no information about it in any place. Now it seems that the treasure has not left Yanan City and may have been obtained by someone in Yanan City."

Xiu Lunsi followed Xu Jing's words, thinking carefully, and nodded.

After a moment, Xiuluns said worriedly, "Boss, you mean the Silver Eagle Prince is offering a bounty? Doesn't that mean many underground organizations are involved? This will cause a huge mess."

Xu Jing sighed and said, "How could I not think of that? However, if you knew the conditions of the Silver Eagle Prince's bounty, you would probably be as tempted as I am. The reward alone is the sum of our intelligence organization's profits for three years, and the Silver Eagle Prince has also promised to allow the successful candidate to participate in the research of the treasure."

Xiuluns' eyes lit up slightly when he heard these bounty conditions, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Xu Jing continued, "Fortunately, the Silver Eagle Prince stipulates that only organizations with more than fifty years of experience and a good reputation can accept the mission. So, including us, there won't be more than four organizations qualified for this mission. Heh, speaking of which, I have to thank my father for this."

"Boss, since you've decided this way, please tell me what I need to do?" Xiuluns said, bowing his head.

Xu Jing smiled and said, "You don't need to worry too much. After accepting the mission, the other organizations focused their efforts on finding those treasure hunters, trying to find clues on them. But after my analysis, I focused directly on Yanan City. This means we have the advantage in terms of time."

Then she added, "Give me a list of all the mysterious residents within three days."

Xiu Lunsi bowed and nodded.

Xu Jing suddenly asked, "Xiulens, you mentioned in your intelligence reports that this Desire Tavern is no ordinary establishment, right? What's the reason?"

Xiuluns

replied, "I think you've already met the three female owners of the Desire Tavern. Let's not even mention the fact that they spent a fortune building it when they appeared in Yanan City; I've also heard that one of the owners, Tang Jing, is a martial arts master capable of using battle qi."

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Actually, all three female owners are hidden masters, especially owner Su Ying. Her powerful magical elemental fluctuations are even stronger than mine. If I didn't have a magical item to conceal my magic power, she probably would have discovered me." "

Xiulens, let me tell you, I once used mental magic to search for the half-elf servant at the Desire Tavern."

"Ah? Boss, what did you find?" Xiuluns asked hurriedly.

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, then said, "That half-elf servant was quite something; he possessed strange yet powerful energy. My full-force mental magic was almost destroyed by him. If it weren't for me..." Xu Jing blushed. She was too embarrassed to admit that she had only succeeded in searching by using that seductive method to lull Yan Xuan into a false sense of security.

"I only found some strange words..." Xu Jing mumbled, then looked up at Xiu Lunsi and asked, "Xiu Lunsi, what does 'car' mean? 'airplane'..."

Xiuluns shook his head in surprise and said, "I've never heard of any of this." Then, Xiuluns' face lit up with excitement, and he asked, "Boss, is what you're saying true? That chubby half-elf actually has powerful energy? Oh my god! You know, we half-elves can't learn magic and martial arts at all because of our physical condition."

"Not only does he have powerful strength, he has completely overturned my understanding of half-elves! He..." Xu Jing blurted out, but when she was about to mention the steamy scene she had witnessed between Yanxuan and Yingwu last night, and the lewd fragments she had gleaned from Yanxuan's memories, her face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she couldn't continue speaking.

"What's wrong with him?" Xiuluns asked urgently. He was incredibly excited that a half-elf of the same race could possess such power. You see, the main reason why half-elves were treated as slaves and considered the lowest race was because of their useless and incompetent physical condition.

Xu Jing suddenly let out a muffled groan, and Xiu Lunsi quickly lowered his head, the excitement on his face gradually fading.

"Xiu Lunsi, focus all your energy on what I've instructed you to do. My investigation will begin at the Desire Tavern. It's said that all the treasure hunters, even the Queen of Love, waited there for the treasure to be unearthed, is that right?"

Xiu Lunsi nodded repeatedly.

Just then, an announcement came from the front desk; it was almost Xu Jing's turn to perform her magic.

Xu Jing stood up, straightened her clothes, picked up a prop box, and walked towards the front desk.

After Xu Jing left, Xiu Lunsi muttered to himself, "A half-elf, a powerful half-elf..."

As he looked up and walked out from backstage, the excitement he had previously concealed shone even brighter...

Inside the Desire Tavern.

The old man from the carpenter's shop sat in a chair, sipping a small cup of "Beauty Fragrance" that Yan Xuan had poured for him.

Yanxuan was busy moving about, painstakingly placing tables and chairs in the empty spaces, carefully adjusting their positions. He had no choice; if he wasn't careful now, Tang Jing would likely find fault again when she returned.

After a while, Yanxuan beckoned to Yingwu.

Yingwu walked to Yanxuan's side, puzzled. Yanxuan pointed to the newly arranged tables and chairs and said, "Help me check, is it neat?"

Yingwu glared at Yanxuan. She couldn't understand why Yanxuan seemed so content with his current life as a slave, and why his fear of those three women far exceeded her expectations. Whenever she thought of Yanxuan bowing and scraping before those three women while constantly bullying her, she felt a pang of resentment.

"I don't know!" Yingwu said coldly, turning back behind the bar to flip through the notebook, refusing to look at Yanxuan again.

The old man sitting in the chair chuckled at this scene.

Yan Xuan shrugged at him, smiled, and walked over to his side. He pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "Could you wait a little longer? A new circus has arrived in Yanan City. The performance is fantastic. Our boss went to see it, as you can see. Right now, there are only two waiters in the Desire Restaurant, her and me. We'll have to pay for the table and chairs when our boss returns."

The old man took a small sip of his wine, then chuckled, "It's alright, I can wait a little longer. Being able to sit here with such fragrant wine, I wouldn't mind waiting all day."

Yan Xuan's fondness for the old man grew even stronger. The old man not only didn't look down on him for being a half-elf, but was also very kind. The smile on his wrinkled face warmed Yan Xuan's heart. He knew this was the first time he'd felt this warmth since transmigrating to this world.

"You can drink more. If it's not enough, I can get you some more. Don't worry, it's free," Yan Xuan said warmly.

"Hehe, thank you, young man. I'm getting old, and I can't stand the feeling of drinking so heartily when I was young anymore," the old man said with a smile.

Yan Xuan smiled awkwardly. He thought that this free service would make the kind old man happy.

Seeing the disappointment in Yan Xuan's eyes, the old man suddenly asked, "But, is this really free?"

A sly smile appeared on Yan Xuan's face, and he whispered, "Our boss isn't here, and you certainly won't tell him, right?"

The old man laughed, gently patted Yan Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Of course I won't tell him, provided... you give me a lot."

The old man's almost playful way of speaking made Yan Xuan feel very happy. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll go get you some more. But I can’t stay with you any longer. It’s almost noon, and there will be more guests. Also, I don’t know if the circus girls will come back to eat here. I need to start preparing now so as not to be caught off guard and upset the guests.”

“What? The circus members are coming back to eat here?” the old man asked suspiciously, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

Chapter 80 Special Guest

Yan Xuan didn’t notice the subtle change in the old man’s eyes at all, and smiled and said, “It’s not clear yet, maybe. After all, those girls have been performing for half a day, they’ll be tired. You know, they’re staying at our Desire Restaurant, hehe. According to them, our restaurant is quite famous outside of Yanan City.”

“They’re all staying here?” the old man asked again.

Yanxuan shook his head and said, "It's just the ladies. As for the male members, they'll probably be guarding the miscellaneous items in the tents. You know, in this nomadic life, girls are always a bit weaker than men." Then, Yanxuan looked at the old man and said, "Have you heard of that circus? Yes, it's called the Wonderful Circus. It's said to be very famous in the human territory. Hehe, but their tickets are too expensive. However, if you want to see them, you can come to our restaurant in the evening. I'll secretly bring you in so you can have a glimpse. Hmm, maybe you'll see them in a little while, of course, if they come back for dinner."

The old man suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you for the wine. Hehe, I have to leave now."

Yanxuan looked at the old man suspiciously and said, "Aren't you going to wait for our boss? They'll be back soon. Besides, why are you in such a hurry? Isn't there an elf watching the carpenter's shop?"

"I have to go back now. I'll come back to get the money tomorrow morning. I trust you." The old man declined and started to walk out.

Yan Xuan smiled and said, "You're right to go back. That elf's attitude was terrible. If you hadn't gone back, he might have offended countless customers."

"Ah, yes, yes," the old man nodded repeatedly, turning and walking out of the Desire Restaurant.

Yan Xuan watched the old man's retreating figure until he disappeared around the corner before turning back to the main hall.

"Ying Wu, keep an eye on things. I'll go to the back and prepare. The guests should be arriving soon," Yan Xuan said casually before heading towards the back courtyard.

Ying Wu snorted coldly, not even looking up.

By the time Yan Xuan finished his hurried preparations, the sounds of customers ordering food could be heard from the front. He rushed into the main hall, where several tables were already occupied.

Yan Xuan quickly asked each customer what they needed and then ran back and forth to deliver their orders before finally catching his breath.

Previously, asking about guests' needs was mostly something Tang Jing did incidentally while flirting, but now Yan Xuan was handling it all, so the workload was naturally much greater than usual.

Just as Yan Xuan stood at the entrance, wiping the sweat from his brow, a peculiar guest entered the Desire Tavern.

A half-elf?

Yan Xuan couldn't help but exclaim inwardly. He had encountered half-elves in taverns before, but all of them were servants accompanying their masters.

This was the first time he'd seen one dressed so neatly, swaggering into the tavern so openly.

Out of professional ethics, Yan Xuan didn't show his suspicion on his face, but greeted him as everyone else.

"Welcome to the Desire Tavern," Yan Xuan said respectfully.

Normally, he would have added "Honorable Sir" before his address, but he didn't do that with this half-elf, because subconsciously he still assumed the half-elf was someone else's servant, and must have come to reserve a seat for his master first.

The half-elf gave Yan Xuan a strange look, nodded slightly, and went upstairs to choose a seat by the window.

Yan Xuan followed, smiling, and said, "This must be your first time at our restaurant. I've never seen you before."

"Yes, it's my first time. I've heard that Desire Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Yarnan City. Hehe, I've come here to see for myself." The half-elf said politely, "What are your most famous dishes and drinks? Could you tell me about them?"

"Of course." Yan Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "Our most famous drink is 'Beauty's Fragrance,' absolutely fragrant and delicious, and it doesn't give you a headache! As for food, we have fresh cheese, freshly baked bread, and fragrant barbecue..."

"Really?" the half-elf said with a smile, "Then bring me a pot of 'Beauty's Fragrance' first. As for food, just get me some barbecue that you like."

"You want some now?" Yan Xuan asked doubtfully. In his view, this half-elf, as someone else's servant, should wait for his master's arrival; how could he dare to eat first?

Yan Xuan kindly approached the half-elf and whispered, "I think you should wait a while. Otherwise, if your master sees you eating first, who knows how he'll punish you."

The half-elf stared at Yan Xuan, his eyes gradually turning sorrowful: "Half-elves, ha, the lowest race, born to be slaves? Yes, my poor compatriots, compared to you, I'm lucky. But don't you ever try to change this situation?"

Yan Xuan paused, looking at the half-elf with confusion, unable to understand what the half-elf meant. The

half-elf sighed softly, patted Yan Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Thank you for reminding me. Please bring me what I ordered. By the way, we're acquainted now. You can call me Xiulunsi from now on."

Yan Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "You can call me Yan Xuan." With a belly full of questions, he turned to go to the back to prepare food and drink for Xiulunsi.

Throughout the entire lunch break, Yan Xuan, busy with his work, constantly felt Xiu Lunsi's scrutinizing gaze, which sent chills down his spine.

Damn it, this half-elf seemed strange from the start; could he be a pervert with a peculiar sexual orientation like Lin Jiayi...?

Finally, when Xiu Lunsi came downstairs to pay the bill at the counter, Yan Xuan's agonizing feeling subsided.

But then, as Xiu Lunsi reached the door, he suddenly beckoned to Yan Xuan.

Despite his reluctance, Yan Xuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and go over.

Chapter 81: The Power of a Beautiful Woman is Immense!

"Welcome back next time," Yan Xuan said politely.

"I will come again, but I'd like to ask if you could spare some time this evening? I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately," Xiu Lunsi said softly, glancing around.

Damn it!

This guy's true colors have finally been revealed!

Yan Xuan's heart sank, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, you know, we slaves spend all our time with our masters."

Xiu Lunsi looked Yan Xuan up and down with a strange expression and said, "Are you like that too?"

Yan Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiu Lunsi, you should know the situation of us half-elves. Among all half-elves, you must be the luckiest. We are not like you, we don't have freedom."

Xiu Lunsi shook his head and said, "Yan Xuan, don't you want freedom?"

Yan Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Xiu Lunsi, secretly pondering the meaning of his words.

After a moment, Yan Xuan laughed, "I'm very satisfied with my current situation. My masters treat me quite well, I'm content."

Xiu Lunsi laughed, patted Yan Xuan's shoulder, and said, "We'll meet again in the future. Goodbye for now. Oh, by the way, the food you recommended was delicious."

Yan Xuan smiled but didn't speak.

Xiu Lunsi turned and walked out of the Desire Tavern.

Yan Xuan stood at the doorway, watching Xiu Lunsi's slender back, pondering the half-elf's intentions. He seemed quite interested in him. After their recent encounter, Yan Xuan no longer thought of him as some kind of monster, for he saw wisdom and the flames of ambition in Xiu Lunsi's eyes.

With memories of his past life, his thinking was far more open than that of the people of this world. All the experiences from his past life's books told Yan Xuan that Xiu Lunsi was no ordinary person. However, Yan Xuan was now puzzled as to why Xiu Lunsi had specifically sought him out. Was it simply because he was also a half-elf?

Of course, Yan Xuan was unaware that Xiu Lunsi had already learned some things about him from Xu Jing, and these were precisely the things that had piqued Xiu Lunsi's interest.

"Yan Xuan, what are you standing there for!"

Tang Jing's voice drifted from afar, interrupting Yan Xuan's thoughts.

Not far away, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi walked over, chatting and laughing. The sight of these three stunningly beautiful women walking and laughing together became the most beautiful scene on the entire street, drawing stares from passersby and causing several comical incidents of people bumping into each other and even crashing into walls.

Clearly, the power of beauty is immense!

As they approached, Yan Xuan hurriedly said, "Miss Tang Jing, I was just trying to attract customers. I've already provided all the food and drinks the guests inside need. There are no other requests at the moment."

Tang Jing glared at Yan Xuan and said, "Ha, you're standing at the door attracting customers? Is that you? Do you think you're more likely to attract customers or scare them away like that?"

Tang Jing's words were as sharp as ever. Yan Xuan cursed inwardly, but showed no displeasure.

"Yes, yes, Miss Tang Jing is right," Yan Xuan said repeatedly, returning to the stairs of the restaurant, standing ready to receive any further requests from the guests.

The simultaneous entry of Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi caused quite a stir in the restaurant.

Tang Jing, who usually flaunted her charms the most, had far more "fans" than Su Ying and Lin Jiayi.

Tang Jing seemed quite pleased with the scene, a hint of pride appearing on her face, her eyes instantly becoming incredibly alluring, every smile and every movement exuding captivating charm…

"Miss Tang Jing, come have a drink here…"

"Miss Tang Jing, why don't you come with us…"

"…"

"…"

Similar invitations arose one after another. Tang Jing smiled slightly, her body swaying like a butterfly fluttering up and down the stairs, offering a drink to every guest who was invited.

Su Ying looked at Tang Jing and chuckled softly, "Sister Tang Jing is so popular, like a big star..."

Lin Jiayi didn't echo Su Ying's words. Her eyes flashed with intense jealousy, her gaze sharp as a knife as she scrutinized the guests who were flirting with Tang Jing.

Then, Lin Jiayi simply decided to ignore it and told Su Ying, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a bit," before turning and heading up the stairs.

Su Ying looked at Lin Jiayi with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why Lin Jiayi, who had been so cheerful just moments before, suddenly seemed so unhappy.

However, she didn't think much of it. Instead, she walked behind the bar and said to Yingwu, "Yingwu, let me see your work."

She took the notebook from Yingwu, glanced at it, and then stared at her with wide eyes, exclaiming, "Wow, Yingwu, I never knew you could remember things so well! The accounts are clear, and your handwriting is much better than mine!"

Yingwu blushed and said, "Miss Su Ying, you flatter me too much. I was afraid I might have made a mistake."

"How could you? You remember very well, hehe. Discovering your talent means I can be lazy from now on!" Su Ying giggled.

Compared to Tang Jing's fiery temper and Lin Jiayi's coldness, Su Ying was undoubtedly the most amiable. Furthermore, Su Ying usually liked Yingwu very much, so there was no mistress-servant barrier between them.

Yingwu smiled and said, "Miss Su Ying, was the circus performance good?"

Su Ying said, "It was great, very exciting, especially Xu Jing's magic show, it was simply amazing! I never imagined Xu Jing could incorporate spatial magic so cleverly into her magic." Then, she leaned close to Yingwu's ear and whispered, "Yingwu, I want to see it again. Can I secretly take you to see it later?"

Yingwu nodded, excitedly saying, "Okay, okay! I've never seen a circus performance before."

"What are you talking about?" Tang Jing, having finished her drinking session, walked to the bar.

"I'm telling Yingwu about today's performance," Su Ying said with a smile.

With Tang Jing's arrival, Yingwu's expression became noticeably more reserved. She said, "Miss Tang Jing, Miss Su Ying, the carpenter's shop delivered the tables today."

Tang Jing glanced back and said, "Yes, I saw them. Where are the people from the carpenter's shop? I paid them; they must have been waiting for a long time, right?"

"They've left," Yingwu said.

Chapter 82 A Woman Who Seizes the Initiative

"Gone? Left without even collecting payment?" Tang Jing asked in surprise. She knew that all merchants in Yanan City had an unwritten rule: never extend credit; all goods were sold on a cash-on-delivery basis.

"It was an old human who brought it. He said he'd come back to collect payment tomorrow because he trusts Yan Xuan," Ying Wu whispered.

"Trusts Yan Xuan?" Su Ying asked in surprise, then burst into laughter: "I never expected Yan Xuan to have such influence, haha..."

"What's so funny? If Yan Xuan weren't from our Desire Restaurant, who would even glance at him?" Tang Jing said dismissively.

Today, the Desire Restaurant was even busier than usual.

Customers came and went in a constant stream; often, before one group had even left, another was already waiting below.

Many customers were residents of nearby cities who had come to watch the performance after hearing that the Wonderful Circus had arrived in Yanan City.

Yan Xuan was utterly exhausted; he hadn't had a chance to sit down and catch his breath all day.

It wasn't until evening that the guests gradually left, and the restaurant slowly quieted down.

Just as Yan Xuan was about to sit down and rest after seeing off one group of guests, the female magician Xu Jing entered the restaurant with her circus troupe.

Su Ying greeted them, saying, "Xu Jing, is your performance over?"

Xu Jing nodded and smiled, "There were more audience members than we expected. We performed three shows in a row; we're exhausted."

Su Ying said, "That's because your performance was so wonderful. I expect there will be even more audience members tomorrow. One show seems like not enough; I plan to watch another one tomorrow."

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Hehe, Miss Su Ying, if it's really as you say, that would be great. We could earn more money. We were quite anxious when we came to Yanan City because the residents here are of diverse races, and we were worried that apart from humans, other races wouldn't enjoy the circus performance."

“You must be overthinking it. You know, people of all races enjoy watching exciting performances, just like the drinks at our Desire Restaurant – everyone loves them.” Su Ying boasted a little, then added, “You’ve all had a long day. Sit down and rest. I’ll have Yan Xuan prepare some food for you.”

Yan Xuan overheard this and reluctantly walked over, asking, “Beautiful ladies, what would you like?”

Xu Jing gave Yan Xuan a meaningful look and casually said, “Just grab something to eat. We’re really hungry.”

The food in the kitchen had been purchased in advance. Yan Xuan quickly retrieved the food from the storeroom and placed it on the circus members’ tables. Then he went downstairs to the lobby and waited quietly to see if they needed anything else.

Before long, the circus girls finished their meal and walked upstairs, chatting and laughing. Before going up, they even instructed Yan Xuan to prepare a sauna.

Yan Xuan nodded hurriedly, turned, and went to the backyard to prepare charcoal and water for them.

A moment later, the circus girls came down with changes of clothes. Unlike yesterday, today's sauna group included the female magician, Xu Jing.

Yan Xuan stood respectfully at the entrance of the makeshift sauna "pool." As the other girls entered, chatting and laughing, Xu Jing, who was at the back, suddenly stopped beside Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan looked at Xu Jing with suspicion and said, "Do you have any other instructions?"

Xu Jing didn't speak, silently gazing at Yan Xuan. After a moment, she suddenly uttered something that almost made Yan Xuan faint.

"Airplane? Car?"

Yan Xuan stared at Xu Jing in shock, his mind filled with doubt.

Airplane, car!

Aren't these things unique to his previous world? How did this woman know these things?

Could it be that she, like him, had transmigrated from his previous world?

But even so, why would she say those two words to him? Did she know his origins?

Countless questions flooded Yan Xuan's mind, this sudden change catching him completely off guard.

"What exactly is your origin? Are you really a half-elf?" Xu Jing was quite pleased with the confusion she had caused Yan Xuan and pressed on.

If she hadn't said those words, things would have been fine. But now that they were out, Yan Xuan felt much more at ease. Putting aside how this woman had mentioned "car" and "airplane," it was certain that she didn't know his origins from his past.

"Your Excellency, what are you saying?" After a brief moment of thought, Yan Xuan decided to play dumb and see what this woman meant.

A cold smile appeared on Xu Jing's face as she whispered in Yan Xuan's ear, "You were really badly beaten that day..."

Yan Xuan's body trembled. This woman actually knew his transformed identity.

Xu Jing continued, "You made quite a commotion last night, daring to do that kind of thing in the hall. If it weren't for me, everyone would have been woken up. Shouldn't you thank me?"

At this point, Yan Xuan knew there was no need to play dumb anymore. He could only blame himself for being too careless in his passion last night, allowing this woman to discover him.

"What do you want me to say?" Yan Xuan looked up to meet Xu Jing's gaze.

"I just want to know a few things. You don't need to tell me now; I'll ask you later," Xu Jing said with a smile.

After speaking, Xu Jing entered the makeshift "bathtub" and tightly closed the wooden door.

Yan Xuan was incredibly anxious, his mind a chaotic mess. Come to think of it, since arriving in this world, everything seemed easy; few things required real thought. Due to his experience in his previous life, he could guess people's character through conversation and deduce their motives from a single incident.

In other words, he usually understood Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi's characters and their motives for certain actions. Otherwise, do you think men would get nosebleeds so easily when they see women? The reason Yan Xuan repeatedly experienced nosebleeds from temptation was because he knew that the three women's purpose in tempting him was to find excitement in making him bleed.

However, now Yan Xuan was facing a mysterious woman, a woman who seemed to have the upper hand in every situation. In

Chapter 83

, "Questioning," Xu Jing presented no flaws to Yan Xuan, as if she had been secretly and meticulously setting up a large net, and by the time he realized it, he was already trapped.

Since arriving in this world, he had been surrounded by people with simple minds, leading him to believe that the people in this world were not particularly cunning. But now, Yan Xuan realized what a ridiculous mistake he had made. In this vast, unknown world, everything was not as simple as he had imagined.

Yan Xuan stood blankly in the backyard for a long time, his thoughts interrupted by the female group members who had just finished their sauna and emerged from the makeshift "bathroom."

"Sister Xu Jing, we weren't lying to you, were we? Wasn't it comfortable?" one of the female members asked excitedly.

Xu Jing smiled and nodded, then left the backyard surrounded by the female members.

Yan Xuan quickly washed himself in the makeshift "bathroom" and returned to his small room.

Lying in bed, Yan Xuan tossed and turned, but unfortunately, thinking about his headache, he couldn't find a solution.

"Damn it! I might as well stop thinking about it. What's meant to be will be! Time to sleep!"

Yan Xuan gritted his teeth, pulled the blanket over his head, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Autumn was approaching, and the evening wind grew stronger. The rustling of leaves in the wind constantly reached Yanxuan's ears. Already preoccupied, after counting 3,754 sheep, he abruptly sat up, throwing off the covers.

"Ah!"

Yanxuan screamed in fright at the sudden appearance of a figure in the room.

Immediately, a fragrant breeze wafted over him, and a soft, delicate hand covered his mouth, silencing his second scream.

Having acquired the Nine Yang Energy, Yanxuan's eyesight was much sharper than before. Now, at such close range, he clearly saw that the person who had silently appeared in the room was none other than the female magician, Xu Jing.

Xu Jing's grey eyes gleamed with an eerie silver light in the moonlight. These shimmering eyes were fixed on Yan Xuan, and she raised her other hand, gently shaking her index finger twice, clearly indicating that Yan Xuan was forbidden to speak. Yan Xuan

nodded.

Xu Jing removed her hand from his mouth, straightened up, and after a slight movement of her lips, the golden magical barrier that could block out sound reappeared, enveloping both of them.

"Now you can speak," Xu Jing said calmly.

"Damn it! You'll scare someone to death!"

Since this woman seemed to know a lot, there was no need to pretend in front of her anymore, and Yan Xuan immediately swore.

Xu Jing frowned and said, "Now can you tell me what I want to know?"

Yan Xuan smiled and said, "What do you want to know?"

"Your true origins and those of your three bosses!" Xu Jing said in a deep voice.

"Uh... I come from the slave market. As for my three bosses, I don't know," Yan Xuan said casually.

Xu Jing's expression changed, and she lightly swept her hand down.

Yan Xuan felt his body tighten, as if he were being tightly bound by an invisible bag. The intense feeling of suffocation made it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. He struggled violently, his face turning purplish-red.

Xu Jing snorted coldly and said, "Will you be honest with me?"

In the extreme suffocation, Yan Xuan, whose mind was somewhat confused, hurriedly nodded. Honesty didn't matter for now; he just needed to get through this ordeal.

Xu Jing's arm jerked, and Yan Xuan's body suddenly relaxed. He gagged a few times and then gasped for breath.

A moment later, Yan Xuan lay limply on the bed, looking at Xu Jing with terrified eyes.

Damn it, this woman is too powerful! What does she want to do! Yan Xuan guessed in horror. Having died once, he cherished life more than others, and the feeling of being on the verge of death again filled him with immense fear.

"What is your background and that of your three masters? What is your purpose in coming to Yanan City?" Xu Jing asked coldly.

Yan Xuan hurriedly said, "I really don't know their background, let alone their purpose in coming to Yanan City. I'm just a slave they bought at the slave market. Please, I'm not lying to you!"

In fact, Xu Jing, who had used magic to search Yan Xuan's memories, obtained memories that were exactly the same as what Yan Xuan was saying. The reason she was still coercing Yan Xuan like this was because she knew that some specially trained people could hide their most precious memories deep in their minds. Such people could not be stolen by mental magic, and Yan Xuan was very likely one of them.

Xu Jing raised her arm high and sneered, "You think I can't kill you? Your lies are too clumsy. Don't tell me you really are a slave bought from the slave market. Can an ordinary slave transform from a half-elf into an elf?"

Yan Xuan's mind raced, and he said in a mournful voice, "Noble lady, why would I lie to you? Do you think I'm not afraid of death? I don't know how I acquired the ability to transform. It seems like overnight, I could become an elf. Please, spare me."

Yan Xuan's voice was incredibly sorrowful, profoundly expressing the fear and despair of a coward on the verge of death. As he spoke, he moved to the floor and knelt down in front of Xu Jing.

"Then what's with that strange red energy in your body?" Xu Jing asked.

"Red energy?" Yan Xuan looked up at Xu Jing in confusion, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Xu Jing said coldly, "I'm warning you, don't try to gain my pity with any act! If you keep pretending to be confused in front of me, it will only lead to your death. Let me tell you, I used magic to enter your memories last night. I know a lot about you, so you'd better be honest."

Yan Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood why Xu Jing knew about airplanes and cars. However, what puzzled him was that since Xu Jing had gained his memories, why didn't she know the origin of the Nine Yang Energy? Did she not have any memories of the Nine Yang Scripture in her mind?

Yan Xuan didn't know that the Nine Yang Scripture was created by the being who left behind the scripture using Nine Yang Energy. It entered Yan Xuan's mind in the form of a pure energy entity, which was why he had been unable to explain the Nine Yang Scripture to Yan Na. This special energy form was far beyond Xu Jing's comprehension. Even when she used magic to search Yan Xuan's memories, she couldn't decipher the special energy-formed memories of the Nine Yang Scripture.

To Xu Jing, Yan Xuan's contemplation was merely a delaying tactic.

Chapter 84: The threatening

hand of Xu Jing slowly descended, and the suffocating feeling of being enveloped by an invisible bag once again made Yan Xuan feel the crisis of death.

However, this time Xu Jing seemed to have only given Yan Xuan a slight lesson; the suffocating feeling disappeared automatically after a moment.

Yan Xuan looked at Xu Jing with lingering fear, repeatedly saying, "I really didn't lie to you..." While cursing inwardly, he was thinking of a way to escape.

Xu Jing suddenly laughed, a bright smile blooming on her cold face, even infecting her icy silver eyes with a hint of coldness.

However, her smile at this moment made Yan Xuan feel dangerous. A proverb from his past life quickly surfaced in his mind: "A weasel paying respects to a chicken—it's all bad news!"

Xu Jing said, "Actually, I know you didn't lie to me. Your memories tell me that transformation is your secret, right? I was just testing your attitude!"

Oh my god!

This damned, perverted woman almost killed me, just to test my attitude? Damn it, she's just trying to intimidate me first!

Yan Xuan desperately wanted to pin this woman to the ground, rape her, then kill her, then rape her again…

But these were just fantasies to vent his anger; Xu Jing's bizarre abilities had terrified him.

Xu Jing was pleased with Yan Xuan's fearful expression and said, "How about we cooperate? I'll keep your secret and ensure your survival. You just need to do a few things for me."

"What things?" Yan Xuan asked instinctively, his heart leaping into his throat before settling back down. He understood that Xu Jing's words meant he was temporarily out of danger.

"Investigate your boss's secrets," Xu Jing said succinctly.

Yan Xuan looked at Xu Jing with difficulty and said, "You already know, our bosses are all very capable. Me investigate? Wouldn't I just die?"

Xu Jing said, "It's actually very simple. You just need to pay more attention to your bosses' whereabouts and eavesdrop on their conversations. I'll organize the information from their conversations. From now on, you must report to me everything they do and say each day, otherwise, I'll kill you at any time!"

Yan Xuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that this matter didn't seem too difficult. Never mind, he'd agree first and get out of the current danger.

"Is it that simple?" Yan Xuan asked doubtfully.

Xu Jing nodded and said, "Do you remember the treasure hunt not long ago?"

Yan Xuan nodded subconsciously.

"Think back, what were your three bosses doing during the treasure hunt? Was there anything unusual?" Xu Jing said.

"That happened a long time ago, I can't remember clearly," Yan Xuan replied evasively, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, it seems this woman is after that treasure. If she knows I've already obtained it, I'm in even more danger.

" "Nonsense! If you could remember clearly, wouldn't I have found it in your memory? Think carefully! Recall carefully! If you don't want to die!" Xu Jing said angrily.

Yan Xuan quickly feigned fear, nodding repeatedly in agreement. He just wanted this perverted woman to leave his room; as long as she was there, his danger wouldn't be over.

Xu Jing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Report to me every night! I'm warning you, don't try anything funny, or I can kill you at any time!"

With that, the golden magic barrier vanished, and Xu Jing stepped out, disappearing as if into the darkness.

As the magic barrier disappeared, the coughing of the guests and the sound of wind rustling through the leaves outside the window could be heard.

Recalling the terrifying suffocation he had just experienced, Yan Xuan felt as if he had been reborn, a cold sweat instantly soaking his entire body…

This was the first time since arriving in this world that he had felt genuine fear from the bottom of his heart!

When he transmigrated to this world and found himself in the slave market, he was disheartened and had no attachment to this world, wishing he could be executed by the slave owners immediately, perhaps giving him another chance to transmigrate.

When Tang Jing threatened to kill him countless times in her anger, or send him back to the slave market, he wasn't afraid, because he understood Tang Jing's temper and knew that the fiery woman's angry words were unreliable.

However, now that he had the female slave Yana and possessed Yingwu, he was incredibly satisfied with his erotic transmigrated life. This satisfaction made him feel attached to this world. At this moment, he began to fear death; he began to fear leaving this world…

And just when he feared death, Xu Jing appeared.

"Kill her!" Yan Xuan's face twisted almost into a grotesque grimace, and the scenes of murder and cover-ups he had seen in his previous life quickly filled his mind.

"It's a pity I can't beat her..." Yan Xuan slumped weakly onto the bed, rejecting the idea. He figured he'd be killed by that perverted woman before she could even finish her job.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Xuan slammed his hand on the bed and said, "Damn it, I'll just have to take it one step at a time!"

He then fell asleep. In this situation, he could only let things take their course, first dealing with Xu Jingxu and the fake snake, slowly looking for an opportunity to change things...

Yan Xuan was awakened by the noise outside.

The circus girls, through years of performing, had developed excellent sleep habits.

Of course, "excellent" only applied to the girls themselves; for others, it was an inconvenience. Normally, at this time, Yan Xuan would still be dreaming of the beauties, but now, that opportunity was gone.

Yan Xuan frowned, listening to the girls' noisy wake-up calls and washing sounds, muttering under his breath, and reluctantly got up to get dressed.

As a waiter in a restaurant, there was no reason for him to stand behind the guests.

A moment later, Yanxuan came out of the room, bowed, and said, "Honorable guests, your diligence truly makes me ashamed. Would you like breakfast? Or is there anything else you require?"

A female member of the troupe smiled and said, "If we could have a hot breakfast, we'd have more energy for our performance today."

Yanxuan smiled and nodded, secretly regretting his actions. Damn it, he should have stayed in the room a little longer. He had only intended to be polite, but they took it seriously…

Oh well, the words were already spoken, and he couldn't back out now.

Yanxuan quickly went to the backyard, took out some bread from the storeroom, warmed it slightly on the stove, and then cooked a large pot of vegetable soup.

That damned goatee not only didn't help, but also muttered curses at Yanxuan, saying he had disturbed his sweet dreams.

So, when Yanxuan was carrying the vegetable soup away, he accidentally spilled some, which unfortunately landed on the feet of the man with the goatee.

A scream rang out, and another day began at the Desire Restaurant.

Chapter 85: What a damn hypocrite!

While the circus members were having breakfast upstairs, Yanxuan stood quietly to the side, waiting for their instructions.

Xu Jing said with a smile, "It seems our choice to stay here was really right. It feels like it's been a long time since we've had such a pleasant, hot breakfast."

"Yes, yes..." the other female members echoed, praising Yanxuan's vegetable soup.

Xu Jing waved to Yanxuan.

Yanxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he reluctantly walked over.

Xu Jing looked at Yan Xuan and smiled meaningfully, "You're very capable. I hope you'll satisfy me even more in the future."

Yan Xuan chuckled dryly, his eyes brazenly scanning Xu Jing's sexy body beneath her tight-fitting gentleman's costume, mentally giving her a malicious look. *

Damn it, this woman needs me anyway!* Since she won't kill me, I can be a little excessive, right? Otherwise, just thinking about being threatened is just too awful!

Yan Xuan's unrestrained gaze made Xu Jing's expression change, but she casually suppressed it and forcefully waved him away.

Seeing Xu Jing's pretty face turn green with anger, Yan Xuan finally regained some psychological balance.

After Xu Jing led the circus members away, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi finally came downstairs.

After glancing at the messy table, Tang Jing angrily said, "Yanxuan, are you kidding me! They're all gone, why aren't you cleaning up?!"

Yanxuan hurriedly nodded and quickly cleared the dishes, wiping the table clean.

Sitting down to wait for the customers, Yanxuan recalled what Xu Jing had told him last night. It seemed there was no way to avoid it. Usually, teasing Xu Jing with words and glances might give him some psychological comfort, but he still had to do what she had arranged, otherwise, his life would be in real danger.

Having made his decision, Yanxuan reluctantly went to the bar, eavesdropping on Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi's conversation.

He didn't care if he overheard anything useful; he just wanted to hear something to report back to Xu Jing that night.

Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi clearly didn't notice Yan Xuan's unusual behavior today. In fact, Yan Xuan's disguise was quite convincing. When customers arrived, he would greet them warmly as usual, and after fulfilling their requests, he would pretend to sit down on a chair at the bar, acting as if he were ready to be instructed by the boss at any time.

Under these circumstances, Yan Xuan overheard many conversations, but apart from some jokes, they were mostly about trivial matters concerning women...

For example, Su Ying would say to Tang Jing, "Oh, Sister Tang Jing, your skin has really improved lately. Is it really the effect of the sauna? But I go to the sauna every day, so why don't I see this change?"

Then, Tang Jing would proudly share some skincare tips with Su Ying.

Or, Tang Jing would say enviously to Lin Jiayi, "Sister Lin Jiayi, I think your legs are more and more beautiful, so long and shapely..." As she spoke, she would secretly touch them a couple of times.

Then Lin Jiayi would flirt with Tang Jing for a bit, her eyes sparkling, taking the opportunity to grope her a few times.

Often at these moments, Yan Xuan would steal glances at Lin Jiayi, cursing inwardly that this perverted woman, usually so cold and aloof to others, was even more lewd than him when facing Tang Jing and Su Ying! Damn it!

After most of the day had passed, Yan Xuan was thoroughly enjoying himself.

He finally realized that agreeing to Xu Jing's conditions wasn't so bad after all. How come he hadn't discovered that eavesdropping on Tang Jing and Su Ying's conversations was such a fun thing?

Sigh…

it's just a pity that guests come and go so frequently, that Yan Xuan had very few opportunities to eavesdrop.

If only he had a tape recorder…

Yan Xuan began to reminisce about the high-tech gadgets of his previous life.

Thinking of this, Yan Xuan went even further, thinking, "Damn it, wouldn't it be even better if I had a video recorder? Damn it, then I could secretly put it in the makeshift 'bathtub,' and then I'd have plenty to watch later."

After thinking for a while, Yanxuan silently spat twice, laughing self-deprecatingly at his own wild ideas.

It was nearing evening.

The old carpenter walked into the Desire Restaurant.

Yanxuan had a good impression of this kind old man and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"You've arrived," Yanxuan said with a bow and a smile.

The old man laughed heartily, patted Yanxuan's shoulder, and said, "We meet again." Then, he whispered in Yanxuan's ear, "Thank you for the wine last time. Next time, give me just a little bit more, okay?" Yanxuan turned

to look at Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi who were approaching, smiled awkwardly, and whispered, "If I have the chance, I'll definitely save some for you."

The old man nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Su Ying and the others had already arrived.

Su Ying smiled and said, "Grandpa, it's been so long! You're still so healthy!"

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, it really has been a long time. The three young ladies have become more and more beautiful."

Tang Jing said, "Grandpa, you can visit our restaurant more often. But we haven't been here since you made the tables and chairs for us. That was several years ago."

The old man said with a bitter face, "A restaurant of this caliber is beyond my means. Miss Tang Jing, you really impress me. I often hear about Desire Restaurant from others. Desire Restaurant is now the most famous restaurant in the entire Yanan City."

Su Ying said, "Grandpa, you're too kind. When we first came here, we didn't know anything about the utensils needed for a restaurant. You made them all for us. Look, the tables, chairs, and decorations still look brand new. Your craftsmanship is superb. We would never ask for money if we came here. We've always wanted to thank you."

The old man laughed heartily.

Yan Xuan watched from the sidelines, thinking to himself, "Hypocritical! So damn hypocritical!

I never expected Su Ying to be so good with words!

Damn it, if she really wanted to thank him, she would have done so in person already. Saying all this now is so fake!"

Despite his thoughts, Yan Xuan still admired Su Ying's interpersonal skills. It seemed he had underestimated everyone around him, his past life's experiences having made him unknowingly look down on everyone. Thinking

this, Yan Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He realized he needed to be more careful in everything he did from now on, or he wouldn't even know how he died! After

exchanging pleasantries with Su Ying and Tang Jing, Lin Jiayi took out the money she owed for the tables and chairs. The old man accepted the money and left the Desire Restaurant without further ado.

"Su Ying, your memory is really good. You even remember him?" Tang Jing said with a smile.

Su Ying covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "It's just politeness. To be honest, if he hadn't come today, I would have completely forgotten about him."

"Ha, you're so hypocritical," Tang Jing laughed.

Su Ying turned and hugged Lin Jiayi's arm, saying, "Sister Lin Jiayi told me that in business, you can't do without being a little hypocritical, right, Sister Lin Jiayi?"

Lin

Jiayi smiled and nodded, taking Su Ying's small hand and gently stroking it.

The look in her eyes sent another chill down Yan Xuan's spine…

In the evening,

Xu Jing led the girl group members into the Desire Restaurant, bathed in the golden light of the sunset.

Watching this group of women in beautiful performance costumes in such a setting was definitely a pleasure.

However, when Yan Xuan recalled Xu Jing's terrifying appearance, he couldn't enjoy it at all. In his eyes, Xu Jing at this moment was undoubtedly like a demon in disguise from a legend of his past life; beneath her beautiful exterior lay a true face even more sinister than a demon.

"Miss Xu Jing, you're back. Did the performance go well today?" "Su Ying stepped forward and said.

Xu Jing smiled and said, "It went very smoothly, but it was too tiring. There were even more audience members today than yesterday, so we had to add two more shows."

Su Ying said, "That's a good thing. It seems you're going to make a fortune in Yanan City this time."

Then, Su Ying instructed Yan Xuan, "Yan Xuan, quickly prepare food for Miss Xu Jing and the others." Yan

Xuan nodded in agreement and carried the prepared food to the hall from the back.

Xu Jing didn't glance at Yan Xuan once throughout. After quickly finishing her meal, she chatted and laughed with Su Ying for a bit before leading the group members upstairs to rest.

Night fell.

As usual, the female members went to the backyard for a group sauna. They were very enthusiastic about this novel experience. Their performances were scheduled, but this sauna was only available at the Desire Restaurant; each sauna session was a bonus, and they wouldn't have another chance like this.

Yan Xuan sat in the hall, wondering why Xu Jing hadn't come to him. Just then,

Xu Jing appeared in the hall.

Yan Xuan chuckled inwardly; it seemed Xu... Jing's curiosity about Tang Jing and the others was even more intense than he had imagined.

Xu Jing slowly walked towards Yan Xuan, her lips slightly moving. A faint black halo appeared around her body and gradually expanded.

When she reached Yan Xuan's side, the black halo also enveloped him.

Yan Xuan was secretly puzzled about what this black halo was, and at the same time, he was extremely uneasy, fearing that this perverted woman would change her mind and attack him again.

To Yan Xuan's relief, he did not feel any discomfort when his body was enveloped in the black halo.

Xu Jing stared at Yan Xuan and said, "Tell me about what you found today."

Yan Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't find anything. They were doing what they always do, recording things at the bar and serving customers."

Xu Jing wasn't surprised by Yan Xuan's report. If Tang Jing and the others truly had some hidden identity, as she suspected, they would naturally be very cautious. It would be strange if Yan Xuan discovered anything unusual so easily. "

Did they say anything?" Xu Jing asked.

"Yes, they said quite a lot." "Yanxuan said.

Xu Jing's eyes lit up, gesturing for Yanxuan to tell her.

Yanxuan said, "Miss Su Ying envies Miss Tang Jing's good skin, Miss Tang Jing envies Miss Lin Jiayi's long and shapely legs..."

Yanxuan rattled off a lot of things like a rhyme, but the content was extremely complicated and all trivial matters, making Xu Jing's arms tremble with anger, wishing she could strangle this noisy fat man immediately!

At this moment, the sound of the girl group members laughing and opening the door came from the makeshift "bathroom" in the backyard, it seemed they had finished their sauna and were heading back to their rooms.

Moreover, Yingwu's voice was mixed in with their conversation, which made Yanxuan anxious. If Yingwu saw the current situation, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

However, Xu Jing didn't seem worried at all . Her heart was set on leaving, and she showed no intention of doing so.

To Yan Xuan's utter astonishment, the female group members entered the hall as if they hadn't seen Xu Jing or him at all. Even Ying Wu glanced around the hall in surprise, probably intending to speak with Yan Xuan. Seeing that he wasn't waiting in the hall as usual, she initially considered going to his room. However, as she followed the female group members up the stairs, she immediately changed her mind.

It seemed best not to go to Yan Xuan's room; it was like a wolf's den, utterly unsafe, and who knew what kind of torment that guy might inflict upon her.

Ying Wu thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the backyard. As she passed Yan Xuan, he clearly heard her mutter under her breath: "Fatty!" "You pervert..."

Xu Jing glanced at Ying Wu with disdain, then turned and looked at Yan Xuan with contempt. The contempt in her eyes made Yan Xuan very uncomfortable. While cursing inwardly, he glared at Xu Jing countless times.

After Ying Wu left the hall, Xu Jing said, "You still need to report to me at this time tomorrow, or you know what will happen!" "After saying that, the black halo gradually dimmed and contracted, enveloping Xu Jing. Then, like a soap bubble, it burst, and Xu Jing disappeared into the hall.

After Xu Jing left, Yan Xuan sat weakly in a chair, thought aimlessly for a while, then got up and went to the backyard to clean the makeshift "bathtub."

The circus girls were playing wildly in the makeshift "bathtub."

The water stains all over the floor made Yan Xuan almost slip and fall when he entered.

After a helpless glance, Yan Xuan began to clean diligently. If he didn't want to be scolded by Tang Jing, he had to do his job well.

After a while, Yan Xuan rubbed his sore back, straightened up, and looked at the result of the cleaning with satisfaction. Then, he turned off the light in the makeshift "bathtub" and prepared to leave.

As soon as Yan Xuan opened the wooden door a little... " During a brief moment of distraction, Yan Xuan suddenly saw two figures flash past in the distance and enter the storage room located in a corner of the backyard.

To Yan Xuan's surprise, one of the figures was none other than Lin Jiayi.

How could it be her?

Who was the other one?

Could it be Tang Jing or Su Ying?

Oh my god!

My God!

Could they be…?

An incredibly filthy and lewd scene flashed through Yan Xuan's mind: Tang Jing or Su Ying and Lin Jiayi engaging in some kind of lesbian act. Just imagining it made Yan Xuan's blood boil.

Driven by the urge to spy and intense curiosity, Yan Xuan approached the storage room almost without hesitation. In a corner outside the storage room, there was a small ventilation vent—the perfect spot for spying.

In the dark storage room,

Lin Jiayi stood quietly in front of Su Ji.

"Why are you here again?" "Lin Jiayi asked calmly.

Su Ji's face showed sadness as she whispered, "Su Ji came on orders. There's news that the Silver Eagle Prince of the Garo Empire hasn't given up the search for the treasure and has secretly issued extremely high bounties to established underground organizations. It's estimated that underground organizations accepting the mission will soon appear in Yanan City. His Majesty has instructed you to be careful and not give anything away, otherwise, if the Silver Eagle Prince finds out, it will cause a huge problem."

Lin Jiayi's cold face softened slightly, and she said, "I understand. You can leave now."

Su Ji remained motionless, looking up at Lin Jiayi with a sorrowful expression, and said, "Your Highness, have you truly forgotten our past affection? During our separation, Su Ji has missed you every moment."

Lin Jiayi said indifferently, "Don't say anymore. Didn't I make myself clear to you last time?"

Su Ji suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Su Ji, what are you doing!" Lin Jiayi said sharply.

Su Ji gently moved forward, hugging Lin Jiayi's legs, and said, "Let Su Ji feel Your Highness's body one more time. Perhaps, in countless nights to come, Su Ji will only be able to miss you alone."

Lin Jiayi sighed softly and said, "Su Ji, don't do this."

Su Ji didn't speak, but her hands, already wrapped around Lin Jiayi, quickly slipped inside her dress, touching Lin Jiayi's long, shapely legs without any barrier.

Chapter 87: A Turning Point.

Lin Jiayi's body suddenly trembled, wanting to stop Su Ji's actions, but her body was somewhat weak, and she hesitated to move.

This undoubtedly gave Suji a false sense of hope. It seemed that Her Highness the Princess still craved the feeling of skin-to-skin contact!

Suji grew bolder, her hands roaming over Lin Jiayi's beautiful legs, diligently teasing her with her old techniques.

Suji and Lin Jiayi had maintained this perverse relationship for a long time, and she knew Lin Jiayi's body extremely well. She knew exactly what methods, what pressure, and where to touch to bring Lin Jiayi pleasure and arouse her desire.

"Suji…you…you shouldn't do this…um…"

Lin Jiayi groaned, her hands seemingly trying to push Suji away, but she was powerless.

Suji simply buried her head under Lin Jiayi's skirt, kissing her skin, her hands already touching Lin Jiayi's buttocks, her lips moving upwards…moving…

Lin Jiayi's body gradually went limp, and she sat weakly on the nearby debris, letting out soft moans.

It's important to know that Lin Jiayi was no stranger to this kind of thing. Back in the palace, she and Su Ji did this almost every day. Just like a man who frequently has sex, after a long period without contact with a woman, desire accumulates in his body, and when the body is aroused, it erupts violently.

Yan Xuan, squatting outside, couldn't see the detailed movements of the two in the darkness, but it undoubtedly gave him a huge space for imagination. A series of lewd images filled his mind, coupled with the faint moans emanating from Lin Jiayi, making it incredibly tempting.

Yan Xuan felt his body gradually heating up, his groin erect, almost bursting through his pants, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Lin Jiayi, inside the storage room, used all her strength to push Su Ji away, panting heavily, saying, "No! We can't do this anymore! You should leave!"

Su Ji looked at Lin Jiayi with disappointment; the determination in Lin Jiayi's eyes caused her a pang of pain.

Lin Jiayi breathed heavily, trying to calm herself, and without even looking at Su Ji, she abruptly waved her hand.

Su Ji knew that this was all she could do tonight. After a moment's hesitation, she bowed and said, "Your Highness, I will come again at this time tomorrow to report on the movements of the underground organizations we are monitoring." Without waiting for Lin Jiayi's refusal, she vanished from the storage room.

Yan Xuan was seething with hatred!

Damn it, this perverted woman's willpower was too strong! A perfectly good love scene was ruined just like that!

Just as Yan Xuan was preparing to hide behind a concealed object, waiting for Lin Jiayi to leave before returning to his room,

a soft moan suddenly came from the storage room.

"Hmm...hmm..."

Holy crap! There's something going on!

Yan Xuan was overjoyed and cautiously peered into the storage room from a corner of the vent.

It was late at night, and although the moonlight wasn't very bright, some still managed to seep into the storage room. Because Yan Xuan had a good angle, he wasn't worried that his shadow would be projected into the storage room by the moonlight and thus be discovered by Lin Jiayi.

With the dim moonlight, the storage room became slightly brighter than before. Although he still couldn't see clearly, he could make out some general outlines.

Yan Xuan vaguely saw Lin Jiayi leaning back against the clutter, her neckline open, revealing her fair skin, and even most of her breasts were exposed. Her skirt was rolled up high to her thighs. It must be said, Lin Jiayi's legs were absolutely exquisite works of art—rounded, long, and possessing an indescribable beauty.

At this moment, Lin Jiayi had one hand inside her neckline, covering her left breast. Judging from the movement of her clothes, she was kneading and groping it.

Her other hand was caressing her inner thigh. Judging from the vague movements, Yan Xuan could guess that Lin Jiayi's finger was now deeply inside her...

"Mmm... Oh..."

Although Lin Jiayi kept her lips tightly closed, trying her best not to make a sound, the soft moans that she couldn't suppress still reached Yan Xuan's ears.

Looking at Lin Jiayi's lewd appearance and listening to such alluring moans,

Yan Xuan really wanted to rush into the storage room, shake his erection, and say to Lin Jiayi, "Let me help you..."

Of course, it was just a thought. If he really did that, Yan Xuan could foresee that he would definitely not see the sunrise tomorrow.

Damn it, if only he had a video camera!

Yan Xuan started daydreaming again. If he could really film Lin Jiayi's lewd appearance at this moment, wouldn't he have something on her?

Hmph! Let's see how this woman will be arrogant to him then.

Hehe, maybe I can even threaten this woman and have my way with her a few more times!

In the darkness, a glistening liquid appeared at the corner of Yan Xuan's mouth...

Lin Jiayi ended her "self-touching" activity with a long, soft moan.

Yan Xuan realized that Lin Jiayi was probably about to leave the storage room, so he quickly hid behind a nearby cover, holding his breath and waiting quietly.

A moment later, Lin Jiayi carefully walked out of the storage room, looked around, and then, while straightening her clothes, walked back to the restaurant.

A while later, Yan Xuan dared to emerge from his cover and go upstairs.

After tiptoeing back to his room, Yan Xuan collapsed onto the bed.

After tossing and turning for a while, Yan Xuan simply sat up.

He couldn't help it; as soon as he closed his eyes, the lewd image of Lin Jiayi just now floated into his mind, making him deeply aroused, and his lower body remained tirelessly erect.

A moment later, Yanxuan sighed heavily, jumped out of bed, and opened the window, hoping the cool evening breeze would dispel the burning desire within him.

Unfortunately, the breeze sent shivers down his spine, but the fire in his heart didn't subside; his erection remained high.

Yanxuan began to miss Ya Na, began to miss Ying Wu.

Ah…

if only a woman were by his side right now, he could indulge himself freely.

Yanxuan helplessly lay back on the bed, his mind wandering.

Suddenly, something solidified in Yanxuan's mind!

Lost in his thoughts, he remembered Xue Ran asking him about Ying Wu at the Desire Tavern.

At that time, the scroll Xue Ran held in her hand contained an incredibly realistic image of Ying Wu, definitely not a copy.

Holy crap!

That was clearly a photograph!

How was it put there? Or what tools were used to achieve such an effect?

If he possessed such a thing, wouldn't he be able to achieve his goal? Hehe… Soon he could fully utilize his past life's paparazzi skills in this world, secretly gathering dirt on people, right?

Then, wouldn't he be able to get Lin Jiayi…

Yan Xuan became more and more excited, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt this idea made sense!

Suddenly, Yan Xuan discovered an even bigger problem. The image on the scroll was exceptionally beautiful; the real person must be even more ridiculously beautiful. Ying Wu's current clothing did have some influence, but something was wrong, something was wrong!

Finally, Yan Xuan slammed his hand on the bed, unexpectedly discovering two huge problems today.

"Tomorrow I'll go find Ying Wu and have a serious and earnest talk!"

Chapter 88: A Beating is a Sign of Affection, a Scolding is a Sign of Love.

Yan Xuan sat on the bed, not sleeping a wink all night.

The moment he closed his eyes, all he saw was Louise's shapely legs and alluring cleavage in the dim moonlight. What he couldn't stand was that his imagination had reached an extreme level; some AV scenes he had seen in his past life were involuntarily transformed into Lin Jiayi's image in his mind.

In fact, he hadn't seen what Lin Jiayi's hand was doing with her lower body.

But that was what made it even more torturous. Yan Xuan kept wondering if her fingers had actually entered her.

Early in the morning,

the circus girls got up early again.

Yan Xuan jumped out of bed, tidied himself up, and went out of the room to prepare breakfast for them.

The circus girls were very satisfied with Yan Xuan's conscientious behavior this morning. Some of the teasing girls insisted that Yan Xuan must have his eye on some girl, which was why he was so diligent. The teasing made Yan Xuan curse inwardly while smiling foolishly on the surface.

After finally finishing serving the chattering female members, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi left their room.

After what happened last night, Yan Xuan naturally paid more attention to Lin Jiayi. He noticed a hint of fatigue in her eyes as he secretly observed her.

Damn!

It seems she definitely did more than one "self-pleasure" in the storage room last night. Back in her room…

the filthy, lewd images resurfaced in Yan Xuan's mind.

"Yan Xuan, what are you thinking about!" Tang Jing said angrily. This damned guy was standing stupidly in the middle of the corridor, not even bothering to make way for them.

Yan Xuan's body jolted, and he quickly came to his senses, hurriedly stepping aside to make way: "No, nothing, I was just thinking about what breakfast to prepare for the three ladies."

Su Ying waved her hand and said, "The usual, shall we?"

With that, the three of them swayed past Yan Xuan, leaving a fragrant trail in their wake.

As they passed by, Yanxuan finally had the chance to freely admire Lin Jiayi's retreating figure. Seeing her full, pert buttocks, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and his blood boil.

No way!

He absolutely had to find Yingwu and ask her how that scroll was created. What if it could be used as a camera? Hahaha, it was truly ingenious…

During the day, while the bar was open, Yanxuan had been searching for an opportunity to ask Yingwu about the scroll alone.

Unfortunately, ever since Yingwu said she wouldn't give him another chance to be alone with her, she seemed to have truly taken it to heart. Whenever Yanxuan appeared in front of her, she would either summon her goatee and pretend to say something, or she would sidle up to Su Ying and chat and laugh.

Yanxuan was practically burning with anger, wishing he could immediately pin this little girl down and give her a good "lesson."

After waiting patiently, Yanxuan finally got his chance.

In the afternoon, due to the large number of customers, the drinks prepared at the bar had already been sold out.

At Tang Jing's instruction, Yan Xuan shuttled between the storage room and the main hall, while Ying Wu temporarily took over the task of supplying drinks to the guests in the main hall.

Once enough drinks were stocked at the bar to meet the current guests' needs, Yan Xuan squatted by the back door, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Ying Wu, where did Yan Xuan go?" Tang Jing called out loudly.

Ying Wu wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "He was just moving drinks; he's probably in the back." Inwardly, she cursed that damned fat man; he'd finished moving the drinks but hadn't come to relieve her, leaving her running up and down the stairs, exhausted.

Su Ying noticed the resentment in Ying Wu's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Ying Wu, go and bring Yan Xuan back! That guy dared to slack off!"

Ying Wu immediately agreed and quickly ran to the back.

The lunch rush had passed, and the remaining guests had all ordered and were enjoying their meals; no one was needed to serve them for the time being.

So, although Tang Jing was very unhappy that Yingwu had dropped what she was doing and ran to the backyard, she only frowned and held back, after all, she had to give Su Ying face.

Just as she reached the back door, Yingwu saw Yanxuan squatting there comfortably resting, and couldn't help but kick him hard in a fit of anger.

"You fatso! All you do is slack off!" Yingwu yelled angrily.

Caught off guard, Yanxuan almost fell flat on his face, and turned back to glare at Yingwu, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Yingwu's resentment subsided a little, and she said, "What? You're not happy about it? Want to hit me? Hit me then!"

Yanxuan sighed and chuckled, "You missed me, that's why you came to find me, right? I won't hit you, and if I did, I wouldn't use my hands..." As he finished speaking, his eyes deliberately glanced at Yingwu's lower body, making Yingwu's face turn red with anger, and she reached out to hit Yanxuan on the head.

Yan Xuan grabbed Ying Wu's hand and laughed, "There's a saying in my hometown, 'A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love.' Can I interpret your action as a sign of affection?"

Ying Wu's face turned pale with anger. She kicked out fiercely, but Yan Xuan quickly closed his legs, trapping her legs between them. His large hands quickly and restlessly caressed Ying Wu's long legs, rapidly climbing upwards through her clothes. His fingers gently squeezed, making Ying Wu's body go limp. For a moment, she couldn't muster the strength to break free from Yan Xuan's legs.

"You fatso! Let me go, or I'll scream!" Ying Wu said fiercely, her pretty face flushed red with embarrassment. Her eyes darted around in panic, afraid of being seen.

Yan Xuan paused, realizing Ying Wu was genuinely angry. He secretly regretted his actions; if he really angered her, attracting Tang Jing and the others with his shouting would be secondary. The main problem was that he wouldn't be able to ask Ying Wu about the scroll anymore.

Yan Xuan said with a forced smile, "Okay, Ying Wu, don't be angry. Can I discuss something with you? I was just squatting here thinking about this."

Seeing Yan Xuan's serious expression, Ying Wu asked curiously, "What is it? What serious things could a lecher like you be thinking about?" Yan Xuan said aggrievedly

, "Even if I am a lecher, it's only towards you. How can you know if it's serious if you don't even listen?" Ying Wu said, "Let me go first!"

Yanxuan, with a pained expression, said, "After you let go, please don't hit me anymore, okay? It really hurts."

Yingwu nodded and said, "Let go."

Yanxuan released Yingwu's fist, quickly rubbed her leg, and then spread his legs to let her go. Before he could even react, Yingwu kicked Yanxuan hard in the shinbone.

Anyone who's been kicked knows what that feels like. Yanxuan bent over, rubbing his head, wincing and tears streaming down his face.

Yingwu finally felt relieved and laughed triumphantly, "Now you tell me. Who told you to always bully me! Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, right?"

Yanxuan looked up at Yingwu with a wry smile, inwardly sighing, "Damn it, who said women and petty people are the hardest to deal with? That's so damn true!"

"What are you looking at? Are you going to talk or not? If you don't, I'm going back to rest. You hurry up and get busy in the hall, otherwise Tang Jing will start yelling again!" Yingwu said, starting to walk towards her room.

Yanxuan quickly grabbed her hand, enduring the pain, and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk..."

Yingwu was even more smug. Since meeting Yanxuan, she had been almost completely under this fat man's thumb. This was the first time she had been able to teach him a lesson so thoroughly.

Yan Xuan straightened up and carefully examined Ying Wu. Suddenly, he whispered, "Ying Wu, are you really a princess of the Giant Tree Elf Empire?"

"Of course," Ying Wu replied, tilting her head back. "Why would I lie to you?"

Yan Xuan continued, "Last time, there was an elven woman in white, right, the Holy Maiden. When she came to you, she took out something that looked like a scroll..."

"Oh, I know, that was the Snow Flame Holy Maiden. She took my image scroll," Ying Wu said. "What are you trying to say! Don't waste time. If Tang Jing gets angry, I'll be in trouble along with you."

Yan Xuan suddenly scrutinized Ying Wu from side to side, his strange gaze making it seem as if Ying Wu wasn't the woman he had been intimate with several times and knew intimately, but a complete stranger.

Yingwu felt extremely uncomfortable under Yanxuan's gaze. She glared at him, slapping him playfully, and said, "What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?!"

Yanxuan clicked his tongue and said, "Yingwu, why do I feel like you're not quite the same as the image on the scroll?"

Yingwu's expression changed slightly. She said, "What's different about me! I am who I am. What are you talking about? Let me go, I want to go back!"

Yanxuan chuckled and said, "The outline is the same, but to be honest, that image looks much prettier than you, especially that aura, really… tsk tsk…"

A barely perceptible glint of joy flashed in Yingwu's eyes, but her expression remained icy. She said angrily, "Are you saying I'm not pretty enough?! Are you trying to kill me?!"

Yanxuan was somewhat surprised, thinking, could it be that the clarity of the so-called magical image isn't very high? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. But then he realized his purpose wasn't to play around with photography, but to find something to use against Lin Jiayi. Therefore, the clarity of the image didn't seem to matter. Just

as Yanxuan was about to question Yingwu further, Lin Jiayi suddenly walked into the backyard. Seeing Yanxuan and Yingwu's current state, she snorted coldly and said angrily, "Come with me!"

Yanxuan quickly released Yingwu, whose pretty face was pale with fright. She glared at Yanxuan fiercely and followed behind Lin Jiayi with her head down.

To Yanxuan's surprise, Lin Jiayi didn't punish them immediately. Instead, she sternly ordered them to quickly carry out the guests' instructions.

Yanxuan knew that Lin Jiayi didn't intend to forgive them. It seemed that when the Desire Restaurant closed, the storm was about to break.

Thinking about the mistake he had just made, Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel uneasy. Heaven knows how that tyrannical Tang Jing would punish him after she found out what he had done.

Especially Su Ying, who was always so kind to Ying Wu, wouldn't she think he had harassed Ying Wu? Damn it, I wonder if castration even exists in this world...

Due to his panic, Yan Xuan worked extra hard. As the sky outside grew darker and the number of customers in the restaurant dwindled, Yan Xuan's heart grew heavier and heavier.

The circus members became the last customers of the Desire Restaurant. After serving them their food, Xu Jing smiled meaningfully at Yan Xuan and led the members upstairs back to their rooms.

"Yan Xuan, close the door!" Lin Jiayi's words were as cold as ice, sending a chill down Yan Xuan's spine.

Damn it, it finally happened!

After Yanxuan obediently closed the shop door and windows, Lin Jiayi coldly sat down on a chair.

Tang Jing and Su Ying curiously sat down next to Lin Jiayi and said, "Sister Lin Jiayi, what's wrong? Is there something you want us to do?"

After speaking, Tang Jing glared at Yanxuan and shouted, "Go back as soon as you're done! Can't you see we have something to discuss?"

Yanxuan was overjoyed and was about to use Tang Jing's words as an excuse to escape when Lin Jiayi shouted sharply, "Stop!"

Yanxuan stopped helplessly, but kept giving Yingwu, who was standing by the back door, a meaningful look, signaling her to leave quickly.

If Yingwu wasn't there, Yanxuan felt that he could make up a story and maybe fool these three women, but with Yingwu there to testify, who knew if this silly girl would confess everything at once.

Unfortunately, even though Yanxuan's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, Yingwu didn't realize his meaning. Completely panicked, Yingwu had lost her usual lively spirit.

Seeing Lin Jiayi stop Yanxuan, Tang Jing looked at Lin Jiayi with suspicion, then at Yanxuan, and shouted, "Yanxuan, did you make Sister Lin Jiayi angry?!"

Su Ying grabbed Lin Jiayi's arm and gently shook it, saying, "Sister Lin Jiayi, what happened? Say something! If Yanxuan really made you angry, just punish him."

Yanxuan cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Just punish me to avoid angering this pervert! Damn it, one day when I get you in bed, I'll make you beg for mercy!"

Su Ying's affectionate words of comfort softened Lin Jiayi's expression slightly. She glanced coldly at Yingwu and said, "Yingwu, come here. Tell me what Yanxuan did to you?" Tang

Jing and Su Ying simultaneously widened their eyes, exclaiming in surprise, "Yingwu? With Yanxuan?" Then, Tang Jing suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, I told you so! Something was bound to happen between Yanxuan and Yingwu! How about that? I guessed right, didn't I? Haha, fun, fun!" She then patted Yanxuan's shoulder and said, "I didn't realize you were so quick to act!" Yanxuan was initially surprised by Tang Jing's reaction, but after thinking about it, he understood. In Tang Jing's mind, not only Yanxuan, but even Yingwu was just a slave. And a slave, besides serving their master, also had the function of being their master's plaything. Living in Yanan City had already made Tang Jing feel utterly bored and listless. They'd already played every game imaginable, and now the sudden appearance of a secret affair between the two slaves was incredibly intriguing to Tang Jing. When Lin Jiayi called out Yingwu's name, Yingwu, whether out of fear or shyness, lowered her head and began to sob softly.

Yingwu's pitiful appearance and occasional sobs made everyone believe she was a victim, while Yanxuan was undoubtedly the pervert who assaulted her.

Tang Jing looked at Yanxuan with surprise and said, "I didn't realize you were so bold..."

Su Ying, her face full of anger, walked to Yingwu's side and whispered comforting words, telling her to tell her what grievances she had suffered, that she would take care of things, and not to worry about Yanxuan retaliating afterwards...

Judging from the fiery look in her eyes as she glanced at Yanxuan, he clearly had murderous intent. Damn it, the person was dead, so naturally there would be no retaliation.

Yanxuan cursed inwardly. If Yingwu kept crying and didn't defend him, it would be difficult for him to make up a reason, and the result would probably be that he couldn't escape his fate either.

Tang Jing chimed in with great interest, "Yingwu, how exactly did Yanxuan bully you? Tell me, be detailed!"

It was clear she just wanted to satisfy Yingwu's intense curiosity. Prying into other people's private lives is a common interest for most women, and it seemed Tang Jing was no exception. Yanxuan couldn't help but curse her inwardly as a busybody!

Before, when no one was comforting her, Yingwu had only sobbed softly. But now that someone was comforting her, she immediately buried her face in Su Ying's arms and burst into tears. "

Oh no, this is really bad," Yanxuan thought, his legs going weak. He started thinking of a way to escape.

"Tell me!" Tang Jing shouted anxiously.

Yingwu's crying stopped abruptly, her pretty face streaked with tears, her eyes filled with panic as she looked at Tang Jing.

Su Ying said, "Sister Tang Jing, don't scare Yingwu. She's already suffered enough."

Tang Jing retorted angrily, "If you're wronged, just say so! Why are you crying? Your crying is annoying me!"

Su Ying looked at Yan Xuan with disgust and said, "It's all that guy's fault! Looks like we can't let him live today!" Then, she turned to Yingwu and said softly, "Yingwu, just tell me, don't cry."

Yan Xuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes darting nervously at Yingwu, afraid that this girl would hold a grudge. Thinking of how he had almost raped Yingwu in the past, he became even more uneasy.

"He didn't bully me..." Yingwu said softly.

Yan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased with himself. They say that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, and whoever said that is so true!

Su Ying and Tang Jing stared wide-eyed at Ying Wu. They expected Ying Wu, now with a powerful backer, to denounce Yan Xuan's misdeeds and beg them to bring him to justice. Instead, the girl, despite her tearful outburst, ended up speaking up for Yan Xuan.

Lin Jiayi's slightly softened expression turned even colder and more somber. She had witnessed the events between Yan Xuan and Ying Wu firsthand, yet Ying Wu now denied everything, a clear insult to her authority.

With a cold rebuke, tiny sparks of electricity crackled in Lin Jiayi's palm, and a chilling killing intent filled the entire Desire Restaurant hall.

It seemed she was now determined to kill, not only Yan Xuan but also Ying Wu.

Su Ying hurriedly stepped in front of Ying Wu, saying, "Sister Lin Jiayi, don't get angry yet. Let's get to the bottom of this first."

Tang Jing, surprisingly, also spoke up for Yan Xuan: "Sister Lin Jiayi, let's get to the bottom of this. Yan Xuan is usually quite hardworking and has made many contributions to the Desire Restaurant. Even if he has made a mistake, we need evidence..."

Yan Xuan was unmoved by Tang Jing's plea. He had long seen through it; Tang Jing was only speaking up for him because she was afraid that after Lin Jiayi killed him, she would lose a plaything, especially now that she had found something even more interesting to do with this plaything.

However, after figuring out Tang Jing's thoughts, he wasn't panicked. Because of Tang Jing's fiery temper, Lin Jiayi had always been quite tolerant of her. Moreover, after learning about Lin Jiayi's unusual sexual orientation, and considering Lin Jiayi's usual intimacy with Tang Jing and Su Ying, Yan Xuan guessed that this perverted woman probably harbored strange feelings for Tang Jing and Su Ying, so he would be even more lenient with Tang Jing.

Su Ying put her arm around Ying Wu's shoulder and said softly, "Ying Wu, don't be afraid. Tell me what's wrong. I'll support you."

Ying Wu looked up at Su Ying and whispered, "Yan Xuan really didn't bully me."

With a loud crash, the table next to Lin Jiayi shattered, and wisps of smoke rose from the scattered pieces of wood, filling the entire hall with a burnt smell.

"Ying Wu! You still won't tell the truth at a time like this! What were you two doing when I saw you, Yan Xuan?!" Lin Jiayi stood up and shouted angrily.

Yingwu hurriedly snuggled closer to Su Ying, saying, "We...we were just joking...he...he really didn't bully me!"

Yingwu's repeated denials caused Yanxuan's opinion of her to change drastically. He hadn't realized this girl was so loyal; she was truly righteous at such a crucial moment.

Especially the fearful look Yingwu displayed, and the apprehensive glances she gave Lin Jiayi, clearly meant to show Su Ying that she was terrified of Lin Jiayi.

Sure enough, Su Ying gently patted Yingwu's shoulder and said to Lin Jiayi, "Sister Lin Jiayi, Yingwu wouldn't lie. I think you might have misunderstood something."

(Chapter 91: The Harassment Scandal)

Lin Jiayi, seeing Su Ying protecting Yingwu, felt a pang of jealousy. Looking at Yingwu, her eyes held not only anger but also a hint of envy.

Seeing Yingwu's stubbornness, Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Yanxuan. Yingwu had Su Ying protecting her, but Yanxuan didn't. Since Yingwu wouldn't speak, she would force Yanxuan to tell the truth!

Seeing Lin Jiayi approach step by step, each step feeling like a blow to Yanxuan's heart, Yanxuan gritted his teeth, secretly cursing this perverted woman, thinking he would make her pay sooner or later!

Lin Jiayi walked up to Yanxuan and asked coldly, "Yanxuan, you should know the consequences of not telling the truth!"

Yanxuan hurriedly bowed, feigning a flustered and apprehensive appearance, saying, "I know, I know..." To emphasize his extreme fear, he deliberately made his voice tremble slightly.

"What were you and Yingwu doing in the backyard just now! If you tell the truth, I'll spare your life, otherwise..." Lin Jiayi said.

Yan Xuan's legs trembled, his face deathly pale. He stammered to Lin Jiayi, "I really didn't do anything. Just like Ying Wu said, we were just joking when you saw it..."

Lin Jiayi, enraged, suddenly waved her hand, a bolt of lightning shooting from her fingertip and striking Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan gritted his teeth, closing his eyes to endure the sudden pain.

Strangely, when the lightning struck him, he only felt a surge of heat within his body; the lightning seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Even so, Yan Xuan still obediently fell to the ground, writhing and screaming in agony, his clothes disheveled. His appearance was utterly pitiful, a truly gruesome sight.

Seeing Yan Xuan being punished by Lin Jiayi, Ying Wu hesitated, unable to utter a sound, her body trembling with fear, tears streaming down her face again.

Lin Jiayi felt a slight sense of relief at Yan Xuan's pained expression. She swung her arms, seemingly addicted, sending bolts of electricity flying at Yan Xuan.

Yan Xuan, displaying a selfless spirit, ignored his own suffering and stubbornly rolled around, refusing to get up. Inwardly, he chuckled to himself, thinking, "Damn pervert, keep going! Keep going! You want to see me like this? Well, I'll let you see enough! I'll get you sooner or later!"

After rolling around for a while, Yan Xuan was starting to tire. It seemed rolling on the ground was definitely physically demanding; soon, sweat beaded on his forehead.

To relieve the hardship of his "work," and to make it less tedious, Yan Xuan's eyes darted around, a wicked smile creeping across his lips. He screamed even more loudly, rolling over an even wider area, and unknowingly moved closer to Lin Jiayi.

A moment later, Yan Xuan reached Lin Jiayi's feet, pleading pitifully, "Miss Lin Jiayi, please, forgive me! I really didn't do anything!"

As he spoke, he used his rolling to get closer to under Lin Jiayi's skirt.

The somewhat twisted Lin Jiayi was clearly pleased with the feeling of watching a man beg at her feet. Electric sparks crackled in her hands, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"Ouch, it hurts so much... Please spare me..." Yan Xuan rolled over, then quickly rolled back, thinking to himself, "Damn, this woman is really a slut, she's even wearing red underwear!"

"Ah! Miss Lin Jiayi, please, please spare me..." Yan Xuan continued rolling, chuckling to himself, "Damn it, this perverted woman seems to have a very strong sex drive!"

Just now, while rolling, he peeked out and quickly saw under Lin Jiayi's skirt, and his keen eyes spotted a faint stain deep inside Lin Jiayi's red underwear...

After rolling around for a while, Yan Xuan saw everything inside Lin Jiayi's skirt clearly, and fantasized about having sex with this woman seven hundred and eighty times. Then, Tang Jing stepped forward and said to Lin Jiayi, "Sister Lin Jiayi, I think we should spare him this time..."

As she spoke, she kicked Yan Xuan a long way, almost knocking him unconscious.

In fact, Yan Xuan had already calculated that Tang Jing would plead for him. Just as he had said before, Tang Jing would definitely not let her newly acquired toy disappear like this.

Unfortunately, Yan Xuan still miscalculated two things. One was that he didn't expect Tang Jing to start so late, and the other was that this female tyrant, not only did she plead for him, she also kicked him like that…

“Sister Lin Jiayi, please give Tang Jing some face.” In order to keep this fun toy, Tang Jing even resorted to her uncharacteristically coquettish behavior.

Yan Xuan suddenly shuddered and almost vomited. Damn it, listening to this female tyrant's coquettishness was worse than kicking him a couple more times!

Tang Jing pleaded for their lives, and Lin Jiayi naturally couldn't refuse her. However, her murderous intent towards Yanxuan and Yingwu hadn't diminished in the slightest. After a moment's thought, Lin Jiayi realized that killing them would surely displease Tang Jing and Su Ying. She decided to let them go for now. As the saying goes, "catch a thief red-handed, catch an adulterer in the act," she'd keep an eye on them, and if they committed another offense, she'd catch them red-handed. Then, when it came to punishing them, Tang Jing and Su Ying wouldn't object.

It wasn't worth upsetting Tang Jing and Su Ying for two lowly slaves.

Thinking this through, Lin Jiayi nodded slightly and said, "Let's spare them for today, Tang Jing. If they really make a mistake, you can't plead for them again."

Tang Jing nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course..." As she spoke, she thought to herself, "By then, I probably won't be interested anymore. Kill them if you want."

After saying that, she sternly shouted at Yan Xuan, "Hurry up and thank Miss Lin Jiayi for her forgiveness! If you make the same mistake again, you're dead!"

Yan Xuan hurriedly moved in front of Lin Jiayi, feigning great effort and pain, and said with utmost sincerity and gratitude, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Miss Lin Jiayi. Yan Xuan will definitely behave well." After saying this, Yan Xuan secretly added in his heart, "Behave well, of course, in bed..."

Lin Jiayi snorted coldly, turned around and walked up the stairs. As she passed Ying Wu, the coldness in her eyes made Ying Wu shiver again.

Tang Jing gave Yan Xuan a strange look, and followed Lin Jiayi upstairs. Before leaving, she ignored Su Ying's struggles and forcibly dragged her up the stairs.

When they reached the top of the stairs, Su Ying did not forget to give Yan Xuan a stern warning.

The footsteps of Tang Jing and Su Ying gradually disappeared on the stairs.

Seeing Yan Xuan lying on the ground covered in mud, Ying Wu hesitated for a moment before walking towards him.

(Chapter 92: The Bet)

Yan Xuan quickly gave her a meaningful look. Based on his judgment, Tang Jing's hasty departure and insistence on pulling Su Ying away must have some trick up her sleeve; she was probably just pretending to leave while secretly watching from somewhere on the stairs.

Afraid that Ying Wu would completely ignore his signals like before, Yan Xuan quickly shifted his body slightly, so that Ying Wu's body completely blocked his face, and then began to wink and occasionally glance at the stairs.

Thank goodness, Ying Wu finally seemed to understand; Yan Xuan's efforts hadn't been in vain.

Ying Wu raised an eyebrow, asking with her eyes, and Yan Xuan nodded slightly.

Hesitating for a moment, Yingwu continued walking towards Yanxuan without stopping. When she reached him, she raised her leg high and brought it down suddenly, but the force when it landed on Yanxuan was not great.

"You fatso! It's all your fault for joking with me! You scared me to death!" Yingwu said fiercely.

Damn it!

If anyone says this little panda is stupid again, I'll fight them to the death...

If it weren't for the fear of Tang Jing watching from the shadows, Yanxuan would have loved to pounce on Yingwu and give her a big kiss. Her impromptu acting was simply superb. It's a pity there are no Oscars in this world, otherwise I would have snatched them from her.

"You fatso! Don't talk to me anymore, or I'll tell Miss Lin Jiayi and the others! Then you can just wait to die!" Yingwu continued to curse, her words quite fierce, but when she looked at Yanxuan, she revealed a rather smug expression, as cute as a child who had done a good deed and wanted praise.

"I'll never dare to do it again..." Yan Xuan pleaded with a smile.

Ying Wu snorted coldly, turned around, and strode quickly towards the backyard. Just before reaching the back door, she gave the goatee-bearded man, who was secretly watching the commotion, a hard kick!

To make his performance more realistic, Yan Xuan didn't rush to get up. Instead, he curled up in a corner, his face contorted in pain, uttering intermittent groans. In his mind, he fantasized about Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi, especially Lin Jiayi. Every sexual position and method he could think of was used on Lin Jiayi.

In a corner of the stairs...

Su Ying smiled and held out her hand to Tang Jing, saying, "Sister Tang Jing, you lost! Hehe, I knew it! How could Ying Wu have any affair with Yan Xuan? That half-elf is worthy of him? Ying Wu would never be interested in him!"

Tang Jing straightened up in disappointment, her lips slightly moving, her eyes glaring fiercely at Yan Xuan below, seemingly cursing the guy who made her lose the bet.

"Sister Tang Jing, that magic crystal butterfly is mine." Su Ying smiled triumphantly, her eyes glancing at a black, semi-transparent, exquisitely crafted butterfly ornament on Tang Jing's head.

Tang Jing angrily ripped the magic crystal butterfly off her head, shoved it into Su Ying's hand, and muttered, "You fatso, I'll get you sooner or later! You bastard, you've made me lose so many times!"

Su Ying giggled incessantly, playing with the magic crystal butterfly in her hand with obvious delight.

"Don't get too excited yet. I'll win back everything I've lost sooner or later!" Tang Jing said, then strode up the stairs.

Hearing the sudden sound from the stairs, Yan Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his earlier caution had been correct.

Tang Jing was not only hot-tempered, but also possessed an unwavering stubbornness that wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.

If she had easily witnessed any affair between Yingwu and him, Tang Jing would have quickly become bored and weary. The more confused she was, the more curious she became, and the more curious she became, the safer Yan Xuan's life would be. At least, before she lost interest, Tang Jing would definitely protect him in front of Lin Jiayi and Su Ying.

A smile appeared on Yan Xuan's lips. It seemed that the few psychology lectures he had occasionally watched on television in his previous life had really come in handy. However, the three women in the Desire Restaurant probably hadn't grown up in complicated environments. Although they all seemed fierce on the surface, their personalities were quite simple, and it was easy to see through them if you paid a little attention.

As night fell, Yan Xuan remained curled up in the corner, his legs aching terribly, but he dared not make the slightest movement.

You see, he's currently playing the role of a seriously injured soldier. If someone were to see that he's perfectly fine and normal, then trouble would ensue.

Especially Lin Jiayi. After today's events, Yan Xuan has already sensed Lin Jiayi's intense killing intent. It seems that sooner or later she will find a pretext to kill him.

Yan Xuan kept thinking, increasingly feeling that this was a critical moment concerning his own life. If he didn't act soon, he would have two paths: either escape from the Desire Restaurant, or be killed by Lin Jiayi.

Obviously, neither of these paths was what Yan Xuan wanted to choose. Therefore, he had to forge a third path...

After thinking for a while, Yan Xuan grinned wickedly.

The next day, when the circus members came downstairs, they saw Yan Xuan huddled in a corner, looking very disheveled, and couldn't help but exclaim.

When Lin Jiayi, Tang Jing, and Su Ying were startled and went to the lobby...

Xu Jing stepped forward and asked, "What happened to the waiter at your restaurant?"

The circus girls nearby chimed in, some saying Yan Xuan looked unwell and was probably seriously ill, others saying his clothes were tattered, as if he'd been beaten…

Xu Jing suddenly gasped in alarm, covering her mouth, "Ah, beaten? Could it be that your restaurant has a violent pervert hiding somewhere? Oh my god, that's terrifying! What if we girls encounter someone like that?"

"Yes, yes, that's terrifying…" the girls chimed in noisily.

Tang Jing and Su Ying chuckled inwardly. They knew what had happened, and hearing Xu Jing's words, it was clear she was implying Lin Jiayi was the violent one.

Lin Jiayi cursed Xu Jing's sharp tongue inwardly, but she couldn't show it on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she walked towards Yan Xuan as if she knew nothing and asked insincerely, "Yan Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Xuan cursed inwardly, but could only say with a bitter face, "I, I accidentally fell down the stairs last night..."

Lin Jiayi glanced at Yan Xuan, her eyes clearly saying "You know what's good for you," and then said, "Then why didn't you call for help? Did you just sit here all night?"

Chapter 93 Touching

Grandma Little Panda, so hypocritical! Whether I sat here all night or not, don't you, you perverted woman, know best! I'll f*** you to the power of n!

"Well, Miss Lin Jiayi, I was afraid of disturbing the guests' rest, so I didn't dare to call..." Yan Xuan said softly, bowing his head.

Xu Jing said, "The waiters at your restaurant truly deserve praise. They endured the pain themselves so as not to disturb the guests! Desire Restaurant can't help but be famous now. Miss Lin Jiayi, I really envy you for having such loyal subordinates."

Lin Jiayi gave a stiff smile and nodded noncommittally.

Xu Jing continued, "He deserves the best treatment. We will definitely use our words to spread this touching story and Desire Restaurant's message wherever we go!"

"Thank you so much, Miss Xu Jing..." Su Ying quickly stepped in to defuse the awkward situation when she saw Lin Jiayi's embarrassed expression.

Xu Jing smiled, then turned to look at Yan Xuan and winked slightly, her eyes conveying, "I've helped you, you should appreciate it."

"The waiter at your restaurant had an accident, so we won't be having breakfast this morning."

With that, Xu Jing smiled, beckoned the female members, and turned to leave Desire Restaurant. As

soon as Xu Jing left, Tang Jing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lin Jiayi glanced at Tang Jing with an unpleasant expression. Tang Jing quickly stopped laughing, made a face, stuck out her tongue, and pulled Su Ying aside to whisper among herself.

Thank goodness, Lin Jiayi was probably worried that Yan Xuan's disheveled appearance would frighten the guests. So, despite her intense dislike for Yan Xuan, she hesitated for a moment before calling Su Ying over and using magic to heal Yan Xuan's injuries.

Of course, the so-called injuries were all faked by Yan Xuan. To avoid arousing suspicion, after Su Ying used magic, Yan Xuan pretended to be exhausted and strained with all his might, finally managing to break out in a fine sweat on his forehead.

"Get up! Get back to work!" Lin Jiayi said coldly, looking as if she wanted to work Yan Xuan to death with heavy workload.

Yan Xuan cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to obediently get up.

Su Ying glanced at Yan Xuan and ordered expressionlessly, "Go upstairs and change your clothes. The guests won't have any appetite if they see you like this!"

Yan Xuan hesitated, then turned to Lin Jiayi, showing great respect. It was clear he wouldn't dare act without Lin Jiayi's orders.

Lin Jiayi gave Yan Xuan a disdainful look and snapped, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry out Miss Su Ying's orders!"

Yan Xuan quickly responded and hurried up the stairs. Once he felt he was out of Lin Jiayi's and the others' sight, Yan Xuan secretly crouched in a corner of the stairs, spat fiercely, and muttered under his breath, "Damn perverted woman, you'll get what's coming to you sooner or later! That little panda, she's getting less and less human!"

Since gaining power, Yan Xuan had gradually wanted to rebel, and it wouldn't be long before he turned his complaints into action!

By this time, the other guests upstairs had also gotten up in twos and threes. Although they were curious about Yanxuan's disheveled appearance, few of them went up to ask what was wrong. Firstly, Yanxuan's appearance didn't evoke any sympathy, and secondly, they were all businessmen traveling, and it was better to avoid trouble than to meddle.

This was fine too. Yanxuan had previously worried that if people saw him looking like he'd been robbed, it would cause panic among the guests. If that happened, Lin Jiayi would probably have another reason to cause him trouble.

Back in his room, Yanxuan tightly closed the door, then plopped down on the small bed, groaning comfortably and stretching.

He hadn't thought much of this old, hard wooden bed before, but after spending the night curled up in a corner, this bed was definitely a hundred times more comfortable than the Simmons mattresses he had slept on in his previous life.

After lying down for a while, Yanxuan reluctantly got up. Not daring to waste too much time, he quickly changed his clothes and left the room.

After what had just happened, the businessmen in the hallway had all gone downstairs for breakfast, leaving the hallway empty except for a few open doors to the checked-out rooms.

As he passed room number four, Yanxuan vaguely sensed a voice calling his name.

He listened for a moment, but the voice disappeared.

Yanxuan shook his head with a wry smile. Damn, he guessed he'd been tormented by those women too much lately; he was even experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, that faint, mosquito-like humming sound reached Yan Xuan's ears again.

Curious, Yan Xuan stopped and listened intently. Fortunately, the sound didn't disappear immediately like before, but continued to call out several times.

Following the direction of the sound, Yan Xuan quietly approached the door of room number four.

The dark wooden door was slightly ajar, and the curtains inside were not drawn, making it appear completely dark.

Just as Yan Xuan was about to push the door open, it suddenly opened, and a fair hand quickly grabbed his clothes, forcefully pulling him into the room.

"Don't make a sound, it's me!" Ying Wu's voice reached Yan Xuan's ears. As she spoke close to his ear, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted into Yan Xuan's nose, causing his heart to flutter.

"Fatty, this is medicine, remember to apply it!" Ying Wu whispered, placing a small, cool porcelain bottle in Yan Xuan's hand.

It seemed Yingwu had mustered her courage to run to the guest room specifically to bring Yanxuan medicine. Although he didn't know if Yingwu's actions were genuine or for other reasons, Yanxuan felt a slight surge of emotion for the first time in this strange world.

At this moment, Yanxuan's eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the room. He saw that Yingwu was holding a rope, the other end of which extended out the window. "

Holy crap!

Did she climb up here?!"

Yanxuan stared at Yingwu in surprise, looking at her delicate and petite body; she didn't seem to have the potential to be a thief at all.

Yingwu noticed Yanxuan's astonishment and glared at him, saying, "I wouldn't do anything as sneaky as you. I came up the stairs, hmph, to clean the guest room!"

"And that rope..." Yanxuan asked疑惑地.

As he spoke, the rope in Yingwu's hand trembled slightly.

Yingwu's expression changed, and she hurriedly pushed Yanxuan towards the door, exclaiming, "Miss Su Ying is upstairs! Get out quickly! There's still time!"

With that, she forcefully threw the rope out the window. Outside, a muffled groan came from the man with the goatee. Damn it

, that little panda! It's true what they say, one thing can subdue another! That arrogant goatee was completely under Yingwu's thumb, now acting as a sentry downstairs.

Chapter Ninety-Four: An Opportunity to Slack

Off Normally, Yanxuan would definitely make a few jokes and take advantage of the situation, but this was clearly not the right time. If Su Ying found him in Yingwu's room, it would be like catching them in the act.

Yanxuan didn't say anything more and hurriedly left the room. Before he even reached the stairs, Su Ying was already facing him. Yanxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the goatee had called the police in time, otherwise it would have been truly terrible.

"What are you dawdling for? Why aren't you downstairs yet!" Su Ying snapped, her eyes darting around the stairwell, seemingly searching for Ying Wu.

Just then, the door to room number four opened, and Ying Wu emerged, rubbing her back and carrying cleaning tools. When she looked up and saw Yan Xuan and Su Ying, she feigned surprise. Ying Wu was always quite bold in front of Su Ying. She raised her cleaning tools and angrily said, "You fatso, what are you doing upstairs? Sister Su Ying, is he slacking off?!"

Yan Xuan was once again amazed by Ying Wu's acting skills, while a strange itch stirred within him. Heh heh, how did things between him and Ying Wu look so much like an affair? Exciting, damn exciting!

Su Ying looked at Ying Wu suspiciously, then at the innocent-looking Yan Xuan, and said, "Go down and get to work!" With that, she walked past Yan Xuan and headed towards Ying Wu.

Behind Su Ying, Yan Xuan secretly flicked his middle finger, his eyes lingering on Su Ying's swaying hips as she walked, and he subtly shrugged.

Yingwu saw all of this, but because Su Ying was facing her, she was furious but couldn't say anything.

Yanxuan chuckled, blew a kiss, and quickly went down the stairs.

A few customers had already settled into the Desire Restaurant.

In the lobby, the table that Lin Jiayi had broken the night before was now in disarray.

"Yanxuan, what are you dawdling for! Hurry up and get the things from the storage room!" Tang Jing shouted angrily. Yanxuan

nodded hastily and hurried towards the backyard, intending to bring some of the things from the storage room to the lobby so that customers wouldn't have to go too far if they needed them.

In the backyard, a man with a goatee leaned against the kitchen doorway, a blade of grass dangling from his lips, his eyes constantly scanning the third-floor window.

Yan Xuan chuckled and whispered as he walked past the man with the goatee, "Thanks, you'd be perfect as a lookout."

The man with the goatee's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You and Yingwu?" He had initially thought Yingwu was sneaking around the room trying to steal something from the guests. Having been used to swindling and cheating, he readily agreed to this familiar "job." But now, judging from Yan Xuan's words, was Yingwu's furtive behavior actually a prelude to a rendezvous with Yan Xuan in the room?

The man with the goatee looked at himself, then at the chubby Yan Xuan, feeling a bit resentful! Damn it, compared to this fatso, he was obviously much more handsome...

Yan Xuan ignored him and turned to go to the storage room to get something.

Unexpectedly, the man with the goatee suddenly grabbed him, insisting, "Tell me, did you do something shady?!"

Yan Xuan chuckled twice and said, "What I do is none of your business!" With that, he tried to shake off the man with the goatee's hand.

"No way! If you don't explain yourself today, I'll tell Miss Tang Jing and the others!" The man with the goatee gripped Yan Xuan's clothes tightly, threatening him.

Yan Xuan sneered, "Go ahead, go ahead. Don't forget, even if I did something, you're an accomplice!" The man

with the goatee's face froze, he rolled his eyes and remained silent, but his grip showed no sign of loosening.

Seeing that he was lingering in the backyard for too long and was likely to be scolded by Tang Jing again, Yan Xuan grew impatient. Taking advantage of the man with the goatee's momentary lapse in attention, he suddenly swung his arm.

The thin, bamboo-like man with the goatee was caught off guard and stumbled, falling to the ground with a thud.

Just as he was about to fight Yanxuan, Yingwu suddenly walked into the backyard. Seeing the tense standoff between the goatee and Yanxuan, she immediately whispered, "You damn goatee, what are you doing!"

Yingwu's strength was great, of course, only in front of the goatee. Upon seeing Yingwu's arrival, the goatee immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant!

It was truly baffling what the goatee was thinking, being so wary of Yingwu.

The goatee stopped, glared fiercely at Yanxuan, then helplessly turned and went into the kitchen, slamming the kitchen door shut in anger.

Yingwu glanced at Yanxuan, then went into her room without a word. She dared not entangle with Yanxuan in the backyard again; being caught red-handed by Lin Jiayi last time had already terrified her.

As Yanxuan turned to enter the storage room, he suddenly noticed a tattered booklet among the weeds where the goatee had been sitting. Curious, he walked over, picked it up, but couldn't read the words on the cover.

Yanxuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Illiterate! Why wasn't there a literacy class in this world, so he could at least recognize a few characters?

After a moment's hesitation, Yanxuan stuffed the booklet into his pocket and went into the storage room.

At noon, guests flocked in, and the Desire Restaurant was as bustling as ever.

Yanxuan was busy running around, sweating profusely, but dared not slack off even a little. Behind the bar, Lin Jiayi kept a cold eye on Yanxuan the whole time, clearly looking for a chance to punish him.

After the lunch rush, Yanxuan finally relaxed, but he was exhausted. After

Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi whispered a few words, Tang Jing called out loudly, "Yanxuan!"

Yanxuan trembled and hurriedly went to the bar, bowing and saying, "Miss Tang Jing, what can I do for you?"

Tang Jing said, "Go to the carpenter's shop last time and order another set of tables and chairs. Tell them to deliver them quickly!"

Yanxuan nodded hastily, secretly delighted. Damn it, finally a chance to slack off! He could slack off and stroll around the streets—it was perfect!

Tang Jing casually flipped over a small hourglass on the bar, saying fiercely, "If you're not back by the time all the sand has run out, you're dead!"

Yan Xuan cursed his bad luck, but could only nod in agreement before quickly leaving the Desire Tavern.

Having learned from his previous experience, Yan Xuan felt less novel and excited when he stepped into the market again

. At least he could leisurely look around and head towards the carpenter's shop. "Magic items, magic items! All kinds of new magic items have arrived! Great quality and low prices! Come and choose, come and buy! Big clearance sale! Scrolls, wands, green crystal balls, everything you could want..."

A human shop assistant was loudly hawking his wares at the entrance of a small shop.

Magic items? Scrolls? Yan Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously moved closer.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Magical Photographic Scroll of Another World

The shopkeeper, seeing someone approaching in response to his calls, had initially smiled, assuming it was a customer. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a half-elf, dressed as a slave. Disappointed, he glanced at Yan Xuan and continued his hawking.

Yan Xuan cursed inwardly, "Why are there always such snobbish people in every world? Damn it, do they think I'm broke?"

While cursing, Yan Xuan reached into his robes, rummaged around, and then chuckled, clutching two hard objects in his palm.

"Heh heh, even after my failed attempt to be a hero and getting beaten up like a dog, I didn't come away empty-handed. At least Xu Jing gave me two gold coins for medicine!"

It seems these two gold coins will come in handy today. I wonder if this guy's magic scrolls have any that can create images. If they do… then Lin Jiayi…

A series of incredibly lewd images flashed through Yan Xuan's mind. Imagining Lin Jiayi being caught red-handed and forced to do whatever he wanted, Yan Xuan felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen, and he found himself uncontrollably aroused.

Yan Xuan moved closer to the shopkeeper, carefully examining the magical items displayed behind him.

Various scrolls were bundled together, and each green crystal sphere seemed to be shrouded in mist, emitting a faint glow in the sunlight. Wands, their tips inlaid with various crystals, were neatly inserted into a cylinder.

"Get out of the way! Don't disturb my business!" The shopkeeper, already somewhat irritated from not making any sales, couldn't help but shout angrily when he saw this lowly half-elf getting in his way.

Yan Xuan, his mind preoccupied with magical imaging scrolls, didn't care about the details and smiled, saying, "Excuse me, do you have any magical scrolls that can create images?"

The shopkeeper looked at Yan Xuan suspiciously. Did this half-elf want to buy magical items?

Would anyone trust a slave to buy things?

The shopkeeper was filled with doubt. In fact, his concerns were absolutely valid. As a slave, who wouldn't yearn for freedom? Only a fool would entrust money to a slave and let him go out on his own. Damn, wouldn't that be giving the slave money for escape?

Yan Xuan didn't speak, just chuckled and opened his hand, two gleaming gold coins shining brightly in the sunlight.

Damn, only two gold coins!

The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, but then he thought, better than nothing. This half-elf seemed a bit naive, probably easy to fool. Hmm, he could sell him those unsold scrolls with poor effects.

The shopkeeper smiled warmly and asked, "What did you just say? You want to buy a magic scroll?

" Yanxuan nodded and said, "Do you have those magic scrolls that can project images? You mean, the image of a person will appear on the scroll..."

Yanxuan didn't know anything about magic and could only describe it to the shopkeeper based on his imagination.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You mean a light-based image scroll?"

Yanxuan quickly nodded and said, "It seems so, do you have them?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Our magic item shop has all kinds of magic items, including those low-level scrolls, but they're not cheap!" "These two gold coins..."

Yan Xuan cursed inwardly at the shopkeeper's troubled expression. "Damn it, he's deliberately inflating the price! What's with the pretense? I've encountered plenty of guys like you in my past life!"

After a moment's hesitation, Yan Xuan feigned even more distress, saying, "What can I do? My master only said one gold coin was for the scroll, and the other was for other things. It seems I can't buy the scroll. I'll leave now; I'll have my master buy it himself next time!" The shopkeeper paused

, secretly calculating. A brand-new, effective magic scroll should cost three gold coins, but the ones he had stockpiled were losing magic quickly. If he didn't sell them soon, they'd probably rot in the warehouse. After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth

and said, "Deal! You wait here, I'll go get it for you... Just so you know, discounted items can't be returned or exchanged!"

Yan Xuan was secretly delighted, nodding repeatedly, "Won't it be unusable after I get it home?" "If that happens, my master will beat me to death."

The shopkeeper glared at him and said, "What do you take this shop for? Our reputation is absolutely second to none among all the magic item shops in Yanan City. If it weren't for your pitiful state, would you be able to buy a magic scroll for one gold coin? Go ask around!"

Yanxuan quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I'm just a little worried, hehe." A short while later ,

the shop assistant emerged from the shop, carrying an old scroll. The scroll was noticeably faded, suggesting it had been sitting idle in the warehouse for a long time.

Yan Xuan, of course, knew nothing about magical items, let alone checking if it still worked. He treated buying the scroll like a gamble; if it worked, he'd be rich.

Yan Xuan handed the gold coins to the shop assistant, took the scroll, and went to a secluded corner. He unbuttoned his clothes, concealed the scroll close to his body, and examined it closely. Seeing nothing unusual, he hummed a little tune as he walked towards the carpenter's shop.

As he rounded the street corner, the carpenter's shop came into view . Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and in that fleeting glimpse, Yan Xuan felt a strange sense of déjà vu about the graceful figure…

When Yan Xuan entered the carpenter's shop, the kind old man wasn't in the front hall. Instead, the elf man Yan Xuan disliked was standing between a pile of sawdust, staring blankly at the doorway, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice Yan Xuan until a moment later.

"Damn it, what's with all this posing in broad daylight?" Yan Xuan cursed inwardly. He had absolutely no liking for this elf man; if he weren't worried about being unable to beat him, Yan Xuan would definitely find an excuse to give him a good beating!

"What are you doing here!" The elven man's arrogant expression returned as he coldly glanced at Yan Xuan.

For others, Yan Xuan might have been willing to play the subservient role to avoid trouble, but he wouldn't tolerate this elven man with his irritating face! Anyway, the old man was definitely behind him; even if he angered the elf and he tried to attack Yan Xuan, someone would stop him, right?

"What would I be doing at the carpenter's shop! I'm definitely not here to eat!" Yan Xuan retorted.

The elven man nearly choked on Yan Xuan's words, his face instantly changing, his eyes shooting a sharp glare at Yan Xuan.

"What? You want to hit me?" Yan Xuan shouted provocatively, secretly anxious. Damn it, was that old man deaf? Why hadn't he shown up yet?
