Spare Me, Great Lord!

After hearing this, Lu Shu could immediately feel the great importance that Nie Ting had placed on him. Of course, it was best if nothing happened. But if they really faced a hopeless situation that they could not salvage, then it was best to not put his life in danger.

Everyone hoped for things to turn out as expected. Everyone hoped that this trip to the west would proceed safely, and that they would be able to make beneficial allies. But the problem was, reality would not change because of this hope.

Who could guarantee that this group would definitely not run into danger? For sure, no one could guarantee that.

When they could not escape danger and no one else could escape, the most important thing was to ensure that Lu Shu did not die.

Lu Shu was silent for a while. He said, “Please tell Heavenly King Nie that I will do my best to bring all of them back in one piece. I will do everything I can.”

The next day, Lu Shu headed towards the Liu village. He had thought that the inn would take one or two months to complete, but he did not expect to receive a notice from Li Yixiao saying that it was already complete.

Not only was it completed, the Nalan family even managed the inn.

The Nalan family had several big businesses. They even had a chain of hotels. Now, a common business model among hotels was to build the hotel, and then have another party to manage the hotel. For example, InterContinental Hotels have adopted such a model.

When Lu Shu reached the Liu village, he saw Li Yixiao directing people to hang a plaque. The two inns were very close to each other. The inn that belonged to Lu Shu still did not have a name. On the other hand, Li Yixiao’s inn was called…

When Lu Shu saw the plague that was put up, he was confused. A few lines were printed on the plague in small print. “Love Your Wife, Love Your Life, Don’t Hide Your Money, Don’t Quarrel, Don’t Talk Back Inn”.

“This is my first time seeing an inn with such a long name…” Lu Shu sighed.

Nalan Que was already sitting behind the counter as the current lady boss. Lu Shu could not help but sigh. There was always one thing to conquer another. Who would think that Li Yixiao would be so terrified? Who would think that Nalan Que, whose family was very rich, would give up on her family business to open a small inn with Li Yixiao?

Lu Shu suddenly realized that there were only male staff in this inn…

When Nalan Que saw Lu Shu, she immediately beamed with joy and said, “Xiaoshu, come over for lunch!”

Li Yixiao’s expression changed greatly. “We have just opened our inn. Eat more here!”

Nalan Que laughed coldly. “So you do have some personal savings!”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +199!”

Lu Shu smacked his lips. Could they exclude him from their conflict?

“First things first.” Li Yixiao changed the subject. “The manager of this village is so cocky. When he saw that we were building an inn here, he built another two inns beside us. He even roped the villagers in. Although ours is much better than his, I think that he will use his price to compete against us. Nalan and I are discussing ways to make him go bankrupt. Do you have any good ideas?”

When Lu Shu heard this, he was very happy. This was his not his first time dealing with the villagers of the Liu village. The villagers had initially planned to use the strawberries in their greenhouses to earn extra income, but the strawberries had been wiped clean by Lu Shu.

But Lu Shu had a clear conscience. This group of people had taken advantage of Lu Xiaoyu, thinking that she was easily bullied. They had come to steal their Chinese chives. Lu Shu was already showing mercy by not destroying their homes.

“Leave this to me. We will go the high-end way. If they are able to steal our business, it’s my loss,” said Lu Shu with a smile. He had the Seal of Lands in his hands. If he increased the concentration of magical energy in these two inns, the two inns would not only become places for people to fulfill their needs. They would also become sacred training locations. But this way, they would have to reconsider their prices.

Although the Beimang remains had a high concentration of magical energy, but if ten thousand people went there and shared the magical energy, it would only become a slightly magically rich land. It was no match for magically rich lands with very high concentration of magical energy.

The concentration of magical energy was high here because Lu Shu planted Chinese chives. If the concentration continued to increase, the concentration of magical energy here would be higher than that of highly magically rich lands. It could be said that after Lu Shu got his hands on the Seal of Lands, the ones who directly benefited from it were Jiang Shuyi, Liu Li, and Lu Shu himself.

Nie Ting knew that the Seal of Lands was with Lu Shu. Lu Shu was sure that Nie Ting would not respond if he did such a minor move.

As Lu Shu was high-spirited and energetic, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him. A cold voice said to Nalan Que, “Do you have any rooms?”

Lu Shu turned stiff. He knew that voice even without turning back. Puppet Master Cloud Yi!

When Nalan Que saw such a pretty lady, she had wanted to reject her. After all, even the staff in this inn were guys. Li Yixiao was clear on who to reject…

Now, there was a lady who was devastatingly beautiful. With Nalan Que’s temper, she would definitely not let her stay here.

But Lu Shu, who had his back facing Cloud Yi, glanced at Nalan Que. Nalan Que said without any hesitation, “Oh, yes. We have rooms with a double bed and standard rooms. We have just started operations and are offering a 20% discount.”

Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. The Puppet Master was the greatest security threat in the country. He was afraid that if Nalan Que rejected her, she would flatten this place in a matter of minutes…

Although Lu Shu was very sure that since the Puppet Master was hiding her whereabouts and would not make a fuss out of such a minor thing, who could guarantee that it would definitely not happen?

Didn’t she vanish into thin air? Heavenly King Nie, could you really be relied upon?

Lu Shu kept his back towards Cloud Yi the entire time. He did not know why she came here. Did she already know that he was here? That did not make any sense. She would kill him immediately. She would not ask things like whether there was a room or not…

So what was special about the Liu village and Luo City? Lu Shu thought carefully about it. One had a Cultivation College, and the other was the biggest black market in the country. They both attracted many Practitioners.

And this inn… was one of the places with the highest concentration of magical energy…

The Puppet Master had to train too. Thus, she just chose a place with a high concentration of magical energy. There was nothing wrong with that…

It was as if Lu Shu had shot himself in the foot. Lu Shu was considering whether he should earn a little less money to increase the magical energy in the inn. This idea sounded quite reliable.

Lu Shu waited for Cloud Yi to head towards her room before walking out. Once he was a kilometer away, he started to run wildly. As he ran, he called Nie Ting. “Didn’t you say that she had vanished into thin air? The Puppet Master is at the Liu village now! Come encircle and annihilate her!”

Nie Ting was silent. Annihilating a Class A in the middle of a city? Was it worth sacrificing the lives of half the city to do so?

This was why Class A’s were truly experts. They were like atomic bombs. No matter where they exploded, the people in the area would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.

The Heavenly Network could not prevent the Puppet Master from entering their borders. They could only take a soft approach and keep a close watch on her while finding other solutions.
