Volume 5: The Great Plains Chapter 124: The Inn

  "Xī lù, are you sure this is the inn?" Looking at this unremarkable shop in front of me, I was extremely puzzled. With Aiyue's innate pursuit of pleasure, how could he possibly stay in such an ordinary inn?

  Xi Lu rolled up her own beautiful hair, carefully measured this hotel, nodded and said: "It's here, no mistake, I dare to confirm it's here."

  "I asked in doubt: 'Would Evan stay at such a hotel? Siluo, do you think it's possible?'"

  "Why don't you just go in and take a look? What's the point of guessing here?" Xi Lu said, then walked ahead into the room, I had no choice but to follow behind her.

  As I walked into the inn, behind the counter stood a very beautiful woman, who looked to be around thirty years old, but had an air of maturity about her. Her long brown hair was casually tied back, her eyebrows were thin and long, her eyes were large, and her lips were slightly protruding, making her entire face look sensual and alluring. The two huge earrings hanging from either side only added to her wild beauty. This woman's skin wasn't pale, but had a wheat-like color, with a subtle yellow undertone, looking healthy and radiant. Her figure was extremely well-proportioned, with curves in all the right places.

  As we walked into the inn, the woman had already seen us. She gave us a sweet smile, revealing two big dimples and a row of snow-white teeth. From afar, she greeted: "Hello to you two guests, are you planning to stay at our inn?"

  Before I could even open my mouth, Xilu asked first: "We're here to find someone. Is there a young man living here who is always smiling, looks decent, and is good at flattering women?"

  When I heard Xilu's words, I almost fell over. Is there such a description of one's own brother? Will Evan hear it and fall down from the stairs? I looked at the woman in dismay, and she, upon hearing Xilu's words, shouted up to the floor above without hesitation: "Dear Evan, I think your sister has come to see you."

  All I heard was a lazy response from upstairs, and after half a beat, Evan slowly came down from upstairs. Seeing the two of us, Evan greeted me before sighing and asking his sister: "Xilu, have you been maliciously injuring me again?" The woman walked over to hug Evan's neck and kissed him, saying: "Your sister said you're lecherous, I think that description fits you perfectly."

  Ivan reached out and touched the woman's face, then complained to Xilu: "Xilu, when can you be nicer to me? Fortunately, Erika is not an outsider. If she were to hurt me like this every day, your poor brother would have no chance with girls in the future."

  Xi Lu sat down at a table with a huff, muttering to herself: "All day long you just know how to flirt with girls, when have you ever cared about me?"

  Ivan smiled and sat down behind his sister, saying to the woman named Erika: "Erika, would you mind helping us prepare lunch? Thank you." Then Ivan turned to Siluo and said: "Dear little sister, how come I haven't been taking care of you? Look at you, going out with that scoundrel Alick, you've lost weight. Has he been bullying you?"

  Xī Lù snorted and said: "Yà lì kè would never bully me, only you spend all day flirting with these women who are not even decent, and have never seriously cared about me. You're not like my brother at all, you treat other women better than me."

  Evan smiled awkwardly, gestured for me to sit down, then changed the subject and asked me, "Alec, how was it this time? Her Majesty the Queen should be safe now, right?"

  I sneered and said, "Your country's information is well-informed, you must have already known the outcome of the matter, why bother asking me?"

  Evan was taken aback and said with a wronged tone: "What's wrong with you all today? Who did I provoke?"

  I said with some indignation, "You knew about this in advance, why didn't you directly inform Sulina so she could be prepared? Why wait until I had to rush over and end up using magic to kill countless people just to put an end to it? If Sulina had known a little earlier, would so many people have died?"

  Evan heard my words and immediately shouted injustice: "You see, good intentions are not rewarded! I also received the news just one day before you arrived, okay? I immediately informed you, isn't that enough for a brother? Have you ever thought that if you solve this matter yourself, not only can you resolve the crisis, but also establish your own status in Sulina's kingdom? Think about it, if you do it like this, who will dare to have any ulterior motives towards her and your son in the future? Alas, I am using my heart for good!"

  I hummed twice and finally accepted Evan's statement. Actually, I'm not that I don't understand the truth, Evan has indeed fulfilled his responsibility, it's just that I made a fuss about this, I'm afraid he'll use this excuse to pull me into helping him steal something again, I really can't do anything about him.

  Xilu was still angry on the side, Evan had to carefully accompany her with a smile, said countless sweet words, and promised that he would take good care of her in the future, no matter what she asked for, he would satisfy her fully, only then did his beloved little sister's face look better. However, Evan's next sentence immediately annoyed his beloved little sister again. He said with a serious tone: "I say, Xilu, don't you think you're at the age where you should get married? Having someone to take care of you would be such a happy thing, alas, unfortunately, apart from Alick, it seems like there's no one else you look up to. What can we do about this?"

  As soon as Evan's words fell, he was immediately attacked by both me and Xilu. My sister's angry fists made Evan absolutely dare not dodge, and soon he began to beg for mercy until Xilu had vented her anger and the war stopped. At this time, the dishes were already served, and Erica carefully applied some ointment to Evan's bruises, making him so moved that his eyes almost welled up with tears, only lacking in hiding in Erica's arms to complain about my sister's violence.

  "Ayven, how was your meeting with the Elf Tribe's Holy Maiden this time?" I forked up a piece of roasted meat and put it in my mouth.

  As for this matter, Evan's face suddenly turned somewhat strange, and he said vaguely: "The Holy Maiden? Oh, I've seen her already. Tomorrow we'll meet with her thirty miles outside the city, then head straight to the grasslands."

  I looked at Evan and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong, is there a problem?"

  Aivan glanced at me and asked, "Uh... Ayrick, do you know what the name of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan is?"

  I nodded and said: "I know, surprisingly named Freya. I've been thinking in my heart, isn't it a coincidence? It's also called Freya?"

  Aivan sighed, nodded and said: "Not only is her name Furei, but I also saw her from afar in the palace of the Elf tribe. Her appearance is very similar to hers too... I suspect..."

  My heart skipped a beat as I hesitated and said, "You suspect that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Tribe is actually the deceased Freya?"

  Evan's face was slightly solemn, and he nodded, saying: "Tomorrow you'll know when you see her yourself. If it's really her, why would she lie to you that she's already dead?"
