Strange Actions

“This spot is just right.”

From where Xu Bai was standing, he could see the entire counter.

Feeling the progress bar slowly increase, he was delighted.

Before the dishes were served, he stared straight at it.

Other than the back of Yun Xiang’s hand, he did not care about anything else.

At this moment, people were coming and going in the inn.

The golden progress bar was increasing. Xu Bai did not care about the people around him. He stared without any restraint.

In just a short while, it had increased by a little.

“This thing is better than the Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique.”

He calculated the time. If he kept staring at it, it would take two nights for the progress bar to completely fill up.

In other words, it was more than twice as good as the Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique from last night.

Rank 2?

It was very likely.

He just didn’t know if it was a Mental Cultivation Technique or something else.

If it was a Mental Cultivation Technique, he could directly break through to grade eight.

If it was not a Mental Cultivation Technique, something that was rank 2 shouldn’t be bad.

With this thought in mind, Xu Bai stared at it even more closely.

A voice came from not far away. The waiter came up with the dishes and placed them on the table.

“Please enjoy.”

“Wait, go get me some more vegetables,” Xu Bai said.

He was so busy looking at the boss that he forgot to order vegetable dishes.

Humans could not always eat meat. They would get sick of it.

The waiter nodded again and left quickly.

After a while, a plate of stir-fried vegetables was placed on the table.

Xu Bai was eating and drinking yellow wine. His eyes were fixed on the maple leaf tattoo on the back of Yun Xiang’s hand.

Of course, there were people who noticed this process, such as the diners at the tables beside them.

The diner was also an expert in this field. He revealed a kindred spirit gaze.

Xu Bai didn’t care about this.

He was a serious person.

Even though he wanted to shop at brothels yesterday, he was a serious person because he did not manage to do so.

“I’m here to accumulate progress.” Xu Bai took a sip of wine and thought to himself.

His gaze moved up the back of Yun Xiang’s hand. Not bad.

Time gradually passed in the blink of an eye. The meal lasted for two hours.

Yun Xiang seemed to have some matters to attend to. She left the counter and went to the second floor.

Xu Bai waited for a long time, but Yun Xiang did not come back down, so he hurriedly paid the bill and left the inn.

Better late than never.

Some things could not be rushed. She was here and could not run away.

Xu Bai left the inn.

It was still early. He pondered for a moment and began to stroll around Sheng County again. He would come here for lunch at noon.

There were still other places in Sheng County that he had not finished window shopping at. With his cheat, he could take advantage of this time to see if there was anything he had missed.

Xu Bai walked around but didn’t find anything. It was about time, so he returned to the inn alone.

He had arrived at the right time. There was no one in the inn yet.

When the waiter saw that it was Xu Bai, he wondered if he was addicted to the food.

“The usual,” Xu Bai said.

The waiter hurried to the kitchen.

Not long after, the dishes were placed on the table.

At this moment, there were still not many people in the inn.

The waiter said, “Enjoy,” and left again.

Xu Bai began to eat and drink, glancing at the counter from time to time.

It was empty. Yun Xiang was not here.

Gradually, the number of people increased, and the waiter began to get busy.

The money collected was placed in the box on the counter, but Yun Xiang was still nowhere to be seen.

Xu Bai couldn’t help but look at the second floor.

At this rate, she should have come down.

Would she stay on the second floor all afternoon?

He couldn’t figure it out, but he continued to eat and drink.

It wasn’t until afternoon that Xu Bai finished his meal.

The counter was still empty.

Xu Bai paid the bill and started strolling around again until dinner. He ordered his usual food and continued eating.

Yun Xiang was still nowhere to be seen.

“Could she have disappeared?” He was puzzled.

As the sun slowly set, the number of people in the inn began to decrease.

After the last person left, Xu Bai began to pay the bill.

When the waiter came over to help him pay the bill, Xu Bai paid and pulled the waiter back.

“Sir, this is…” The waiter was puzzled when he saw the additional silver in his palm.

“Keep it well. I just want to ask you something,” Xu Bai said with a smile.

The waiter looked left and right before carefully putting away the silver pieces. He revealed a flattering smile. “Sir, if you have anything to ask, just ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know.”

This was unprecedented. He was just a waiter. When had he ever received such money?

He had long seen that this guest had an extraordinary temperament. It seemed that he hadn’t been wrong.

That was what the waiter thought.

“Why haven’t I seen your boss all day except during the day?” Xu Bai pointed to the second floor and asked.

As soon as he said this, the waiter revealed a look of understanding.

“Sir, if you have designs on the boss, you should give up as soon as possible. Although the boss is not married, a few days ago, a rich businessman from Sheng County came to propose marriage, but she rejected him.”

He mistook Xu Bai for having ideas about Yun Xiang and began to persuade him.

In his opinion, even the rich merchant had been rejected by Yunxiang, let alone the others.

After all, he had accepted the money. He should dissuade him appropriately so that he would not waste his time. Otherwise, he would not be able to collect the money with a clear conscience.

“I wanted to express my sincerity, but your boss hasn’t come down. I don’t have a chance either. Has she always been like this?” Xu Bai didn’t explain and continued.

The waiter turned around and looked at the second floor. He leaned closer and whispered, “I’m not sure either, but ever since the inn was built three months ago, the boss has been like this. I don’t know why, but she has been staying on the second floor all this time. Oh right, speaking of this, I remember that the boss sometimes goes out and usually comes back at night.”

‘Comes back at night?’

Xu Bai stroked his chin.

It seemed that Yun Xiang was no longer on the second floor when he left.

It was a little strange…

Where did this woman go?

She opened the shop, but other than in the morning, she was nowhere to be seen all day. What was she doing?

Normally, Xu Bai wouldn’t think about it, but the key was the maple leaf tattoo at the back of Yun Xiang’s hand.

To be able to activate the progress bar proved that there was something worth comprehending there. In other words, Yun Xiang was not a simple person.

With that thought in mind, he remained silent.

The waiter probed, “Sir, is there anything else?”

Xu Bai came back to his senses and shook his head. He stood up from his seat and planned to go home.

It was already late. He would go back first and come back tomorrow.

“Sir, take care.”

The waiter sent Xu Bai to the door.

Xu Bai turned around and waved his hand, telling him not to send him off. He then turned around and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he saw a very smooth figure approaching from afar.

Xu Bai didn’t leave. He stood where he was.

Her figure gradually became clearer. Yun Xiang had changed her clothes. Although she was still wearing coarse clothes, it was difficult to hide her charm.

“Are you done eating?” Yun Xiang also saw Xu Bai and took a few steps forward to greet him.

Xu Bai’s nose twitched and he said with a smile, “I’ve had enough wine and food. The food here is too good.”

Although his expression did not change, when Yun Xiang spoke just now, he smelled blood.
