The pub is busy as hell today.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt like she was just a spinning top, the only thing missing was to learn some □□ skills on the spot. If there was enough time now, Sister Li Zi might really ask her to learn.
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons outside had not yet ended, but Yuan Yuanyuan was already busy in the tavern. There were a lot of people in the tavern today, making it the busiest day in a long time.
The monsters were relatively relaxed, the sky outside was densely packed with monsters moving around, and the tavern was already full of guests.
Yuan Yuanyuan opened the window at the beginning, stuck her head out to take a look outside, and then she could only be busy inside the house. She had originally planned well before coming here, that she would sit in front of the window, eat some melon, take a few photos, post them to her Moments, and pretend to be puzzled and ask, "Why are the clouds so thick today?" But after she really got here, she realized that she had thought too much.
All the lanterns in the tavern were lit up, and the sound of people talking could be heard everywhere. Yuan Yuanyuan had complained before that there were too few people in the tavern, but today she really witnessed what the tavern was like when it was at its peak.
I can only say that it is worthy of being the largest monster tavern in the vicinity. Even though it suffered a fatal blow some time ago, important events are still held here, and they seem to be particularly prosperous.
There were beautiful monsters walking everywhere in the corridor. The monsters were really very beautiful. Even though Yuan Yuanyuan was so busy, she sometimes couldn't help but stop to look at the appearance of the monsters around her. A monster girl who happened to pass by even attracted Yuan Yuanyuan's attention. She secretly walked a distance and quietly looked at her face for a while.
Just standing there beautifully is enough to be painted.
There are many monsters here that are so pretty that they can be seen standing in the paintings, both male and female. Yuan Yuanyuan felt like her soul was being sucked away just by taking one look at them. She always suspected that this was due to some kind of witchcraft. She thought she would not be like this normally, but today she saw several people who couldn't take their eyes off them.
She is a half-demon and she is like this. If she were an ordinary human, she might follow her just by taking one look.
A huge table was placed in the lobby below, with many wide chairs placed around it. A monster was sitting on a chair drinking. His head had not transformed successfully and still looked ferocious, but there were still people surrounding him. Many tavern girls that Yuan Yuanyuan knew were pouring wine around him. His wine bowl was particularly large and looked like the same size as the pot in Yuan Yuanyuan's house.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw the girls around her pouring wine for the monster, one jar at a time into the bowl. It took two or three jars of wine to fill a large bowl.
Yuan Yuanyuan shook the wine in her hand, took a breath, and walked downstairs. As she went down, a path gradually opened up below, and someone nearby shouted, "Hongxiu is coming! Make way!"
Yuan Yuanyuan walked up the stairs one step at a time, very slowly. This was what Sister Li Zi had taught her. Her skirt was too long, and if she tripped, she would probably fall directly down the stairs. In addition, she had to hold a jar of wine in her hand, so she had to walk even more slowly.
This staircase is actually very narrow. I don't know when it was built. Under Yuanyuan's long hem, her feet were actually always walking sideways, close to the edge of the stairs. She only dared to take the next step after her feet touched the stairs, for fear of stepping on empty space.
She felt that if she missed her kick, not only would she be disfigured, but the monster below, which looked tough, would also destroy their tavern.
After some hesitation, she finally reached the bottom and tried to straighten the expression on her face. She followed the path vacated by the people around her and slowly walked over to the large chair. She gently lifted the wine jar with her hand and poured the wine in the jar into the monster's empty bowl.
When pouring, your hands should be slightly raised and your movements should be slow, but not too awkward. It should be done in one go and your hands should be steady.
Yuan Yuanyuan poured the entire jar of wine into the cup. She felt her brain go blank for a moment, leaving only Sister Li Zi's constant chatter... all kinds of chatter...
When the wine was poured out and the jar was empty, she put it down and picked up another one handed to her by someone else. Only then did she come to her senses.
Shit, it actually finished pouring out.
A lot of people soon gathered around. Even if Yuan Yuanyuan was blind, she knew that this was a very important person. She quickly took advantage of the empty wine bowl to pour another jar. She forgot about her previous plan to go outside to watch the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
In the bustling building, people come and go, and people passing by each other may not recognize each other, so people from all walks of life mix in here.
There are dark clouds outside and the weather today is extremely abnormal. Many people have stuck their heads out to look at the dark clouds covering the entire city. Some people are even taking photos as souvenirs. People living in the city still don't know what is happening.
"Is Sister Yuanyuan not coming today? Will she be caught in the rain when she comes back?"
"I don't know..." Li Xin looked at the clouds in the sky, "Hurry up and finish your homework. Write until twelve o'clock, just in time to read the update before going to bed."
The tavern was still very lively, even though the weather in the city was on the hot search today. Many people were wondering why the clouds in the sky were so strange today, and whether there was something wrong with the weather again. Some people were panicked, but the monsters were very happy.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the time and found that it was almost time for the update, but there was obviously no way to find a place to read the comics at this time. She was now carrying a jar of wine to another place. She heard that the people there wanted to ask Hongxiu to go there specifically... Yuan Yuanyuan herself didn't want to go. God knows if they would become hostile if they found out that this Hongxiu was not the same person as the previous one.
She walked slowly towards that place, and when she reached a corner, she suddenly stopped.
A very familiar smell just passed by my nose.
For a moment, Yuan Yuanyuan was a little dazed. She felt that the smell was familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was.
Just as she was in a daze, suddenly a pair of cold hands rested on her neck.
"Don't turn your head, just keep walking forward."
… Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t look back. She glanced at her neck with her peripheral vision and found that there was something shining with silver light on it. It was neither a knife nor a dagger, but something she was very familiar with.
The sword used by Taoists.
The swords used by Taoists are very small, not as big as the swords in martial arts movies. From a distance, they may not be as big as a dagger. You may see this thing in some very old movies.
Yuan Yuanyuan held the wine jar in her left hand and moved slowly following the movements of the person behind her. She felt that this shot was inexplicably similar to a shot in an ancient martial arts film. There were antique decorations all around, and she herself was wearing ancient costume. With a little bit of decoration, it would be a good martial arts film.
She walked slowly, trying to recall whether she had brought a knife with her. Finally, she remembered that she had taken her knife, jeans, and shirt to the kitchen and had not brought them with her.
… So I can only use my bare hands
The man behind her never let Yuan Yuanyuan see his face. Yuan Yuanyuan could feel that it was a man because of the sound of his voice. He was taller than her and very strong. As a Taoist priest, it was amazing for him to have such great strength.
Yuan Yuanyuan followed him and slowly walked to a very remote corner. The man said from behind, "Go open the door in front."
To be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan is still confused. From just now till now, she has imagined several scripts in her mind. She thought to herself, what the hell are you security guards doing? Even a Taoist priest can sneak in. Speaking of which, this Taoist priest is so brave.
But a Taoist priest...
Yuan Yuanyuan has been here for such a long time, and the only Taoist priest she knows who broke into the chaotic city is just one person.
She thought about the smell she had just smelled and inexplicably felt a pain in her kidneys. The pain continued until she opened the door and there was a heavy blow behind her.
Yuan Yuanyuan had many things that she couldn't expose, such as her own red vine... Plus, she was unarmed, so she couldn't beat this man at all.
In those few short seconds, Yuan Yuanyuan clenched her hands inside her sleeves several times, but finally let go and simply fell down pretending to be very weak.
Because according to the comics... the protagonist is very kind to women, and he will be very gentle with girls, even if they are monster girls, he will let them go a little.
I believe if Ji Qiu hadn't drawn this line, Yuan Yuanyuan would have turned around and kicked him in the crotch, fighting to the death...
However, at this moment, she didn't know why she remembered this incident, so she didn't turn around to fight with the man. She was wearing a red dress, and when she fell down, she thought she would hit the ground, but when she was about to touch the floor, she was caught by someone.
That hand is pretty fleshy...
When Yuan Yuanyuan woke up again, she found herself in a room.
The room was very quiet. She was lying on a small wooden bed. No one knew who owned the room. Yuan Yuanyuan struggled to get up and found that all her clothes had been stripped off at some point. She was only wearing her own long underwear and long johns.
That’s right, underneath the red ancient costume are autumn clothes and long johns… There’s nothing she can do, it’s almost winter now, and the temperature generally drops where monsters stay. Today is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, and the temperature has dropped as if winter has arrived, so she purposely wore autumn clothes and long johns.
"No, the protagonist... what's his name, Faning?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked around and saw a note left for her on the table, saying that something happened in the tavern and some bad people came, and told her, a weakling, to stay here and not come out. The disdainful tone showed that it was written by Sister Li Zi, and it was written in traditional Chinese characters.
"What is Faning doing here? These are all monsters. He shouldn't do this to get himself killed." Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a long time, and suddenly picked up her phone to check the signal. There was still no signal at all, and it was still half an hour before the update.
She got out of bed, looked around, and suddenly the protagonist's recent plot in the comics popped into her mind.
… An idea suddenly flashed through Yuan Yuanyuan’s mind, and she was shocked by the idea. She thought to herself, no way, they ruined the place last time, and they dare to come this time.
No, maybe not... She is a helper here and has been at the front recently. If there was, she would definitely know about it. It is impossible that she has not heard anything about it now.
What's more, she has been secretly inquiring about this matter recently.
Yuan Yuanyuan's mind was working quickly. She glanced around casually and happened to see the clothes worn by the workers in the tavern hanging over there. She casually put them on and then secretly followed them downstairs.
The time is getting closer and the clock will soon point to twelve o'clock.
A figure slowly walked out from a dim place. His steps were hurried and his figure could not be seen. Only the sword in his hand could be seen, shining silver light in the dim candlelight.
