Chapter 1672: New Sunmoon Force Field

There were some things that one could not escape from even if one tried to hide.

Such as ill-fated relationships.

Just when Rourou and Qin Yu successfully checked into Heaven Code Courtyard, Heaven Fragrance Residence’s concealment spell had been stirred up again. More guests had arrived.

The gorgeously-dressed lady boss was both happy and helpless at the same time. She was not lying just now when she said that Heaven Fragrance Residence had only one last courtyard left.

“Dear guests, I’m so sorry but our residence is full today; I can only ask you to rest elsewhere.”

Bull Bean yelped with an “Ah,” and instantly looked miserable. She had walked for so long before finding a place to rest at, but she was still unable to stay here.

Why is Old Ancestor so unreliable? He said that he had connections with this place and that it would not be a problem for her to stay here. He even said that the chef was good, which fueled her anticipation from the moment she disembarked from the ferry and her saliva had been dripping non-stop.

Now, she could not even go past the door!

After thinking for a while, Bull Bean flipped her hand and a ring appeared on her palm. “Do you recognize this? My Old Ancestor said that this could give me a place here to rest.”

The lady boss looked at the ring and her face changed immediately. Wearing a smile on her face, she said, “An esteemed guest has come but I tried to chase you away; please do not mind my lack of propriety. Please come with me.”

Yuan Qin pulled on Bull Bean’s sleeve and pointed at the ring in her palm. Bull Bean nodded and stored the ring.

Stepping into Heaven Fragrance Residence, they turned left and right before coming to a feminine-looking and quiet courtyard. The density of spiritual energy in the courtyard was comparable to that of Heaven Code Courtyard.

The lady boss waved her hands and the servants that were holding lamps for them retreated. Then, she knelt on the ground and said solemnly, “My name is Hua Xiangrong. Greetings, My Lady.”

Bull Bean frowned and thought for a while, “This business is run by the Bull Family?”

Hua Xiangrong respectfully kowtowed, “I did not know who the powerful figure running Heaven Fragrance Residence was, but I recognize that ring. Since you have it, it means that you are now the master of Heaven Fragrance Residence.”Bull Bean did not have any reaction at all. She was used to coming into contact with many of her family’s businesses, so she did not think much about having another peak-grade inn.

What made her more happy was that she could successfully stay here and enjoy a nice meal prepared by the chef that her Old Ancestor complimented.

Perhaps her Old Ancestor’s words were rather unreliable in other aspects, but when it came to eating and drinking, Bull Bean trusted the Old Ancestor.

Hua Xiangrong felt anxious in her heart and she had an uneasy expression on her face as she knelt down and asked Bull Bean to punish her, “My Lady, I did not know you were coming today. The rooms at the inn are indeed full. How about I get the guests in Heaven Code Courtyard to leave to create some room for you?”

Bull Bean waved her hand, “No need. We must run our businesses properly, this much I know. This room is not bad and there is sufficient spiritual energy here. I’ll just stay here for a few days.

“Oh right, I heard that Heaven Fragrance Residence’s chef has good cooking skills. The three of us are hungry from our journey. Please get him to hurry and make some of his best dishes for us.”

Hua Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed, “My Lady, please wait for a moment, I will make the arrangements immediately.”

This place was actually where she stayed. Now that it was occupied by Bull Bean and there were no complaints, Hua Xiangrong felt rather honored.

Even though Bull Bean’s origins and background were unknown, that ring was enough to make Hua Xiangrong feel like it was hard to breathe.

Furthermore, judging from Bull Bean’s mannerisms and confidence, Hua Xiangrong could tell that she was definitely someone with a terrifyingly powerful background.

The good news was that this lady did not seem very knowledgeable about worldly matters and was not difficult to serve. Hua Xiangrong felt that if she could take this opportunity to create a good relationship with Bull Bean, she would be able to meet with great fortunes in the future.

Heaven Fragrance Residence’s kitchen was now at full-scale operation. The three master chefs who rarely cooked for guests personally were mobilized by Hua Xiangrong to do so tonight.

Delicious plates of food were continuously sent to Hua Xiangrong’s courtyard one after another, and Bull Bean expressed her satisfaction.

……

It was not Qin Yu who had learned to integrate the Sun Moon into his eyes.

In actual fact, before he got his hands on this Sun Moon, he had another pair. It was hidden in his soul space, and it rose in the east and set in the west. It was the Shadow of the Sun and Moon, which revolved around his soul.

Originally, it was really just a shadow. Even though it was incredibly thick, it was still unable to become substantial.

Now, it was different.

The Sun Moon that was absorbed by Qin Yu’s body entered his soul space and merged with the Shadow of the Sun and Moon. It was like forming a new being after a body and soul came into contact with each other, or more accurately, this was the true Sun Moon.

Like before, it rose in the east and set in the west.

The new Sunmoon Force Field put Qin Yu’s soul in a magnificent state. It was like a huge amplifier that strengthened Qin Yu’s soul and gave him a huge boost of power even under normal circumstances.

That was not all. The new Sunmoon Force Field could also help Qin Yu accumulate spiritual energy of the world constantly.

This was also the reason why after Rourou found out about Xu Zhiruo’s Sun Moon Eyes, she had spent a large amount of time creating a scheme so that she could get her hands on them.

The new Sunmoon Force Field could help Qin Yu ascend to the strongest level of the King realm in thirty years!

The reason why they visited Heaven Fragrance Inn and stayed in the best courtyard at all costs was because Qin Yu’s current situation required an abundant amount of world spiritual energy to stabilize the Sunmoon Force Field.

Qin Yu, who knew this clearly, immediately began his closed-door cultivation the day they settled down in the residence.

For three days consecutively, it was calm and peaceful in Heaven Fragrance Inn. Rourou was very patient and did not feel anxious at all. However, when she swept her gaze over a small courtyard that was nearby, she frowned unconsciously and a gloomy expression formed on her face.

We must have a lot of fate to be able to reunite at the same place even after going in opposite directions…although, back then, she was the one who allowed Qin Yu to save Bull Bean. By doing a favor for her, she thought that this might benefit Qin Yu in the future. However, she was slightly frustrated now and perhaps even a bit regretful. She should not have been meddlesome in things that did not concern them.

The only consolation was that after Bull Bean had arrived, she had stayed in her courtyard the whole time. All she did was eat and eat and eat, and she did not step out to do anything.

Otherwise, Rourou would have taken action a long time ago and thrown this little brat outside.

On the fourth day, deep into the night.

Without any warning, a deep and loud noise erupted. In one of Heaven Fragrance Residence’s courtyard, dazzling light suddenly burst out. It was the restrictive array around the residence being activated after an external force came into contact with it. The array was trapping and counteracting that external force to prevent the damage from spreading.

Even though Heaven Fragrance Residence had spent a huge sum of money on this restrictive array in the past, this external force was too strong. The Earth Code Courtyard was almost flattened to the ground.

The other courtyards surrounding it were also affected to some extent. The Light Flow Tiles were shattered into pieces which made people anxious and worried.

Hua Xiangrong, who had gone through much trouble to seek a connection with Bull Bean, turned ashen as she appeared outside Earth Code Courtyard. Her gaze was icy and sharp like knives.

It has been many years since anyone dared to create trouble at Heaven Fragrance Residence, but the moment something happened it was a major incident, and of all times, it had to happen now. She remembered that it was an elder from Golden Toad Palace who was staying here, and he had brought along a black-robed female servant with him.

However, even if they were from Golden Toad Palace, they could forget about getting away with this easily!

“That servant deserves to die!”

An angry bellow rang out and an old woman from Golden Toad Palace flew mid-air. Her eyes burst with light as her gaze swept across Heaven Fragrance Residence.

Hua Xiangrong’s face was dark as she said, “Elder Sun, no matter what your reasons are for making such a ruckus today, you have to give me an explanation.”

Elder Sun’s expression turned uglier and the fury in her heart gave birth to a violent gaze that appeared in her eyes.

However, very quickly, she suppressed these feelings.

She had already heard of Heaven Fragrance Residence’s reputation before. Its background was deep and mysterious, and rumors said that the powerful backer behind it was a peak Ruler that was only one level away from reaching the King realm. If she continued to make trouble, with her cultivation, it would only end up in many casualties and she might even die on the spot.

Even though these rumors were slightly exaggerated, it was widely recognized in Langya Area that Heaven Fragrance Residence was not a party to be provoked.

As the saying went, ‘A strong dragon cannot repress a snake’. Heaven Fragrance Residence was an organization above the law…furthermore, Golden Toad Palace was not a ‘strong dragon’, so it was better to be more cautious.

The old woman took a deep breath and said, “Innkeeper Hua, I will bear all the responsibilities for the damage I’ve caused today after I find that damned servant.”

Hua Xiangrong was expressionless as she replied, “That would be great.”

The old woman took another deep breath, as if she detected something. She laughed evilly, “I’ve found you!”

Whoosh –

Her figure shifted, and she traveled across miles in an instant. She reappeared outside a small courtyard. Before she could do anything, she was stopped by Hua Xiangrong who had followed closely behind her. Her temper was characteristic of Golden Toad Palace cultivators; like what the rumors said, they were rude, unreasonable and arrogant idiots.

“Elder Sun, stop!”

Hua Xiangrong’s face became uglier. “This is Heaven Fragrance Residence’s Heaven Code Courtyard. There are esteemed guests in there right now; do not be impudent.”

Elder Sun frowned and she raised her hand to point at the courtyard, “My servant escaped into that courtyard and she is carrying a rare treasure from my Golden Toad Palace. I have to get it back.”

A cold light appeared in her eyes as she spoke even louder now, “This treasure is related to Golden Toad Palace’s secret cultivation methods. If something happens to it, the consequences will be severe. Since Innkeeper Hua is here, please get them to open the door so that I can take my servant away and prevent any other disturbances from happening.”

These words were meant to put pressure on Hua Xiangrong and also to remind those staying in Heaven Code Courtyard to not meddle in Golden Toad Palace’s affairs.

Even though Golden Toad Palace was not considered to be one of the top sects in the Central Desolate Divine Area, they were still quite reputable. The Sect Leader’s traveling partner was a Half-King cultivator. Otherwise, back then at the Jade Gate, she would not have been qualified to speak out together with the man from Green River.

Hua Xiangrong did not know if Elder Sun was telling the truth or not, but saying those words alone created trouble for her.

Furthermore, Hua Xiangrong’s request was not too unreasonable.

Even though Heaven Fragrance Residence was not afraid of Golden Toad Palace, they were still running a business as an inn that immortals frequented. Now that it was late at night and there were many guests observing her movements, she could not be too stubborn, if not they might choose to leave.

After a long moment of hesitation, Hua Xiangrong nodded her head, “Elder Sun, please calm down. I will knock on their door.”

Outside Heaven Code Courtyard, she reached her hand out to knock on the door.

Once, twice, and then thrice.

There was no response.

Elder Sun’s gaze turned even colder, “Could it be that the guests that are staying here have found out about the treasure that my servant is carrying and decided to keep it for themselves?”

Hua Xiangrong frowned and raised her voice, “Dear guests, please open the door.”

She used some of her cultivation to say these words, and her voice passed through the restrictive array, ringing throughout Heaven Fragrance Residence.

Calmly, this innkeeper had revealed a bit of the cultivation realm she was in. This made the eyes that were looking at her to restrain themselves a bit.

Creak!

The courtyard door opened from the inside. Expressionless, Rourou asked, “What do you all want?”

Seeing that someone had answered the door, Hua Xiangrong’s expression softened. She looked apologetic as she said, “Dear guest, sorry to disrupt your rest. It’s like this – Elder Sun from Golden Toad Palace has a servant. This servant took a treasure and escaped. According to Elder Sun, this servant is hiding in Heaven Code Courtyard, I hope that you can allow us to come inside and take a look.”

After a pause, she continued, “To express my apologies for this matter, Heaven Fragrance Residence is willing to waive your accommodation fees for tonight’s stay. If you intend to stay for a few more days, we are willing to give you a discount on your total bill.”

This was the attitude that a businessman was supposed to have.

Of course, this was also because Hua Xiangrong had already thought about it. All the losses that she suffered tonight were going to be charged to that old woman from Golden Toad Palace.

It was not a small sum, considering that Earth Code Courtyard was destroyed and a few other courtyards had suffered some sort of damages as well. It was worth just a few more nights of staying at Heaven Fragrance Residence, Elder Sun probably would not mind.
