After busying himself for a long time, he still couldn’t find the Proprietress, and even Old Bai was nowhere to be seen. Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling curious, so he ran to the counter and asked, “Where are the Proprietress and Old Bai?”
The accountant raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes flashing, “Something came up and they left.”
Yang Kai nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
At the same time, on the second floor of a teahouse opposite an inn in the Star City, Old Bai was sitting by the window, a pot of tea and a few fruit platters on his table, drinking tea and eating fruit while staring at the inn opposite him.
He had been keeping an eye on this place for several days now. After all, this was an order from the Proprietress, so how could he dare to neglect it?
At a certain moment, three people suddenly walked out from the inn. One was a young man, the other a middle-aged man, and one was an old man. At this moment, the old man was leading the way while the middle-aged man supported the young man. The young man’s face was pale as if he had suffered some kind of serious injury, and there were faint traces of blood on his back. It wasn’t just the young man, but the middle-aged man and the old man as well.
Looking around, the three of them soared into the sky and flew towards the Void Harbor.
Old Bai stared in the direction they had left, a look of struggle appearing on his face. After a long time, he sighed heavily, took out a Message Bead, and sent out a message.
At the same time, outside the Spirit Province where the Star City was located, somewhere in the void, a beautiful woman suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with a cold light that seemed capable of freezing even space itself.
Who else could this woman be but the First Inn’s Proprietress?
Time passed by slowly, and in the time it took to boil a cup of tea, a large ship appeared in front of the Proprietress's eyes. The direction the ship was flying towards was where she stood.
Seeing this, the Proprietress clenched her fists and a series of explosions rang out.
When the ship was close enough, the Proprietress suddenly threw a punch forward. It was impossible to describe the brilliance of this punch; the entire world seemed to lose its color.
With a single punch, the ship’s hull began to emit cracking sounds from several thousand meters away before exploding.
From the broken ship, three figures rushed out, their faces covered in dust as an old voice shouted, “Who goes there!”
When they saw who it was that had destroyed their ship, the middle-aged man and the old man’s eyes narrowed. The young man, on the other hand, didn’t seem to understand what was happening as he cried out, “This young master is in so much pain, what’s wrong with you two trash!”
Yang Kai had received two Dragon Fang Whips in front of the Great Chief Commander mansion, so as the instigators, the punishment he had to endure was naturally heavier. Each of them received five lashes, but Young Master Hai's strength was insufficient, so he had only received one. The remaining four lashes had been received by two of his followers, but even so, that single blow had taken half his life.
These past few days, he had been hiding in an inn to heal his injuries and had consumed a large number of pills and medicines. Now that he had managed to survive, he didn’t dare to stay in the Star City any longer and was about to leave in a hurry, but who would have thought that after leaving the Star City, his flying artifact would suddenly explode, causing him to suffer from severe injuries.
After cursing, Young Master Hai discovered that his two followers were staring in front of him in horror. Looking over, Young Master Hai's eyes couldn’t help lighting up, “Which family’s little girl is this? She’s quite pretty!”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man and the half-grown old man’s expressions changed drastically as they silently cursed this pig-like thing in their hearts. This time, they were going to be killed!
Although they didn’t know who this peerless beauty in front of them was, her aura was as deep as the ocean and was not something they could compare with.
This was definitely a Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage!
How could such an expert be so easily humiliated?
However, Young Master Hai still didn’t know what was good for him. The more he looked at this woman, the more he liked her. Even the wound on his back didn’t hurt as much as before, so he smiled happily and said, “Quickly, quickly take her down, this Young Master must love her dearly.”
The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he shouted, “Young Master, watch your words!”
The old man’s body flashed as he stood in front of his Young Master and cupped his fists, “This old master greets Senior, may I ask why this Senior blocked our way and why she ruined our flight artifact?”
The Proprietress smiled lightly, “When you were making things difficult for my shop assistant, didn’t you ask who was behind him?”
“Your shop assistant?” The old man frowned before suddenly remembering something and asking, “First inn, Madam Lan?”
The Proprietress coldly snorted, “This old thing isn’t too stupid!”
The old man couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva as a bitter taste filled his mouth. Looking around, he discovered that he was in the depths of the void, unable to advance or retreat. Being trapped here, how could there be any good consequences? Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he cupped his fists and said, “So it’s Madam Lan. This old master’s eyesight is poor, please forgive me, Madam Lan.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “We come from the Unthinking Heaven, my Young Master is the direct grandson of Unthinking Heaven Elder Hai.”
The Proprietress said lightly, “I know!”
“You know?” The old man’s face was filled with horror. Since she knew, why did she dare to block his path and even destroy his flying artifact? Was this woman crazy?
“This Queen is here waiting for you!” The Proprietress coldly snorted and raised her slender jade hand. Her palm was as white as white jade, but when she lifted it, it gave the old man a great sense of crisis, as if the entire world was falling over.
“Bring Young Master back to the Star City!” The old man exclaimed.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly retreated with Young Master Hai.
“Do you think you can escape?” The Proprietress snorted lightly, “My First Inn's staff, besides this Queen, anyone who dares to beat or scold them, i will fight to the death!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she struck out with her palm, causing the space to shatter.
By the time the Proprietress withdrew her hand, the entire void was silent. Whether it was the old man, the middle-aged man, or Young Master Hai, all of them had disappeared!
Killing three people with a single palm strike, and all of them coming from the Unthinking Heaven, the Proprietress acted as if nothing had happened. Flicking her sleeve, she turned her head towards a certain spot in the void and coldly asked, “Is this a good show?”
In the void, a ripple appeared and a golden-armored general appeared, wearing a cherry helmet and a long sword hanging from his waist.
If Yang Kai was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this Golden Armored General as the General guarding the Void Harbor, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. Compared to the Star City’s Great Chief Commander, Ye Tianxiong, he was only slightly weaker.
The golden-armored general frowned slightly, “What’s the point? It’s one thing to teach them a lesson, but killing them won’t do you any good.”
The Proprietress glanced at him and said, “So what if I kill them? This Queen not only wants to kill them, but I also want to kill Ye Tianxiong right now.”
The golden-armored general was speechless, “He’s just a shop assistant…” Although he was guarding the Void Harbor, it didn’t mean he was completely ignorant of what was happening in the Star City. In addition, the Proprietress had left the Void Harbor two days ago with a murderous look on her face, so he could easily find out what had happened.
“That’s my First Inn's shop assistant!” The Proprietress snorted.
The golden-armored general couldn’t help nodding, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s your First Inn's shop assistant. Your First Inn’s shop assistant is a bit more expensive than others’ shop assistant.” He sighed, “After all, it’s just Unthinking Heaven…”
In other words, it would be fine if she just casually taught them a lesson, but why kill them?
“Send a message to Hai Pingle right now and see if he dares to seek revenge on me!”
The golden-armored general stared deeply at the Proprietress and sighed, “After hibernating for 1,200 years, are you going to make trouble again? This time, you may not be so lucky!”
The Proprietress glanced at him and waved her sleeve, “If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you!”
Finished speaking, the golden-armored general turned around and flew towards the Void Harbor. Staring at her back, he slowly shook his head. Such a woman was even more outstanding than many men, he didn’t know if she would be able to have a good ending.
…
The return of the Proprietress didn’t cause much of a stir, and Yang Kai didn’t even know when she had returned. He only knew that one day he would suddenly see her appear in the main hall and warmly greet the customers.
The days passed by uneventfully and Yang Kai spent all his time refining the Domain Shuttle.
From time to time, he would inquire about the World Tree and Earth Element material, but unfortunately, he didn’t obtain anything.
He had been to the Wind and Cloud Auction House many times before. Although the Proprietress had caused a big ruckus at the Wind and Cloud Auction House because of him and Old Bai, he had 7 Faces, so he could easily change his appearance and enter safely.
He couldn’t find any information about the World Tree in the auction house, and he did see some Earth Element material, but they were all below the Fifth Order, so they were meaningless to him.
Whether it was the Wood Element energy condensed from the Eternal Tree or the Fire Element energy condensed from the Golden Crow True Fire, they were both top-notch forces. Yang Kai didn’t want to waste such a good foundation, so the requirement to condense the Earth Element energy was very high. At the very least, it had to be at the Seventh Grade, otherwise his future achievements would be limited.
However, how could it be so easy to find high-quality Earth Element materials? The Golden Crow True Fire last time was just a coincidence, so it was impossible to obtain such an opportunity again.
This made Yang Kai somewhat anxious.
If he didn’t achieve Open Heaven, he would still be too weak in the Outer Universe. Even the two Third Order Open Heaven Stage beside the Young Master Hai couldn't be resist.
He wanted to ask the Proprietress, but he was too embarrassed to do so. Moreover, if he really asked, he would expose some secrets. Although the Proprietress treated him very well, their relationship was not close enough to share secrets!
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a headache!
On this day, Yang Kai, who was busy in the main hall, suddenly heard the Proprietress call out to him and bid Luo Haiyi to keep an eye for him before heading straight to the inner courtyard.
After knocking on the door and entering, Yang Kai was surprised to find that Old Bai was also there.
Moreover, at this moment, Old Bai actually had a look of excitement on his face, his eyes shining brightly as he clenched his fists tightly.
Yang Kai cupped his fists and greeted the Proprietress before turning to look at Old Bai, “Your face is bright and your forehead is glowing, is there a happy occasion?”
Old Bai chuckled, “There is indeed a happy occasion!”
Yang Kai blinked and asked in confusion, “What happy occasion?”
