My wife is a reborn big boss

At 7 PM, in the inn of Shiliu Village.

"Amitabha, why is the rain so heavy!" Jie Se complained, shaking off his soaked sleeves.

The group had been traveling for several hours. Dark clouds were gathering and the sky was getting dark, so the driver discussed with them finding a place to rest for the night before continuing their journey.

Just then, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began. The group had no choice but to find the nearest village and take a break at the only inn at the village entrance.

At this time, in addition to the six of them, there were about ten other guests in the inn.

Wu Qiong chuckled: "Master, summer downpours come without reason, but they come and go quickly, and may stop in a while."

He remained calm and composed, protected by the protective aura formed by the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Not a drop of rain touched his body, and the two women, Su and Li, were also unaffected because of him.

As for Ye Qingxuan, who abstains from sex... who cares about them? They'll get soaked if they have to.

After all, maintaining a protective aura shield for a long time is quite tiring.

Moreover, his protective aura wasn't very large; it was fine for three people to squeeze in, since two of them were pretty girls. As for the Taoist priest and the monk, well...

"Sigh, Brother Wu, it's all your fault." Jie Se wiped the water droplets from Da Bo's bald head. Hmm, shiny!

Wu Qiong curled his lip: "Is it my fault?"

He won't take the blame for this.

"You said it would have been great if it had rained when you were recovering, but the heavens held it back, and it's only raining now!" Jie Se was referring to the lackluster performance of Wu Qiong's recovery.

"Both of you should say less," Ye Qingxuan, the kind-hearted man, advised.

"Gentlemen, would you like a meal or a room?" The perceptive waiter asked with a smile. He glanced discreetly at the two women, whose beauty and temperament were unparalleled, before rationally turning his gaze to Wu Qiong.

Beautiful women are not to be trifled with, Taoist priests are not to be trifled with, monks are still not to be trifled with, and the coachman is ignored by him. Among these people, the only one he can communicate with is the man in the blue robe in front of him.

As a qualified waiter, he was quite shrewd.

"A hotel room," Wu Qiong said with a smile. "Six rooms, how much for one night?"

"One tael of silver," the waiter replied.

"I would like to ask you a question, Brother Er. Is that alright?" Wu Qiong's smile remained unchanged.

"Please speak, sir," the waiter said with a bow and a smile.

"Are you guys running a rip-off inn?" Wu Qiong grabbed the waiter's collar menacingly. "What, you think I'm easy to bully?"

"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!" The waiter hurriedly shifted the blame: "These prices were set by the manager! It has nothing to do with me!"

Wu Qiong released his hand, smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, smiled again, and said softly, "Thank you, waiter. Please call your manager out."

The waiter stared wide-eyed at the young man in front of him whose expression had changed in an instant.

Perhaps of these six people, he's the most troublesome one...

"Which brat dares to cause trouble in my shop!" A somewhat sharp but pleasant female voice rang out.

Wu Qiong raised an eyebrow. Could it be a beautiful female boss?

A slender, delicate hand lifted the curtain, and a graceful figure stepped out.

As expected! Wu Qiong chuckled inwardly.

This isn't a novel; there aren't that many beautiful female bosses in the world!

The woman who emerged was weathered and had a fierce look in her eyes.

If she were only average-looking, calling her a "beautiful boss lady" wouldn't be a problem, but...

Her appearance is still quite different from average.

"May I ask what business you have with me, sir?" The proprietress was about to lash out, but seeing the two elegant and beautiful women present, as well as a Taoist priest of unknown depth and a fierce-looking monk, she chickened out.

Wu Qiong smiled slightly: "Is this a shady business?"

"Sir, you're quite the joker." The proprietress's expression shifted almost imperceptibly before she smiled and said, "Our inn is located between Dingzhou and Jingzhou, and there's no other inn for miles around. Besides, it's pouring rain today, so it's normal for our prices to be a bit higher."

"This isn't just 'a little' more expensive... Fine, let's book six rooms." Wu Qiong took out one tael of silver.

The proprietress's expression didn't escape his eyes. Wu Qiong thought to himself, "So this really is a shady business..." But what did it have to do with him? The other party hadn't bothered him.

"Alright." The proprietress took the money and asked, "Would you like to eat?"

"How much does the meal cost?" Wu Qiong asked curiously.

"Vegetarian dishes cost twenty coins, and meat dishes cost forty coins," the proprietress said cautiously.

That's ridiculously expensive!

"Alright." Wu Qiong sighed, "Your specialty dishes here are three meat dishes and four vegetable dishes. Just call us when they're ready."

After saying that, the group went upstairs.

After the group left, a middle-aged man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat laughed and said, "Ninth Sister, you're not usually this polite. What, you've taken a fancy to that pretty boy?"

"Shut up!" Sun Jiuniang's expression was grave as she lowered her voice, "These people are not simple. Everyone, keep your eyes peeled and don't cause me any trouble!"

The middle-aged fisherman asked in surprise, "Even Ninth Sister can't see their true strength? Could they also be at the 'Opening Acupoint Realm'?"

"I feel it's more than that," Sun Jiuniang said, frowning. "I've opened five of my seven orifices, but apart from the coachman who only knows rudimentary skills, I can't discern the true level of the other five."

She glanced at everyone present and said, "Anyway, let's let it go this time. Don't cause me any trouble."

"We understand." The fisherman smiled at an old man sitting down. "The most dangerous people in the martial arts world are monks, Taoists, women, old people, and children who are alone. We encountered three of them at once, and apart from the young man and the coachman, the other four were clearly disciples of major sects. The reason we martial arts enthusiasts are still alive is because of our sharp eyes. We're not stupid."

"Good to know." The proprietress ignored them and called over the waiter: "Xiao Wang, go to the kitchen and tell Lao Zheng not to put any drugs in the food. I want to live a few more years."

"I understand." The waiter nodded and went to the kitchen.

Upstairs in a guest room, Wu Qiong, who had already reached the Innate Realm, heard the whole story. He exclaimed, "The people here are so damn simple and honest... But I like it."

His eyes were deep; he had already made his decision.

He's going to double-cross him!

This shady business seems to have been operating here for quite some time. Rather than letting them continue to harm people, it's better to just wipe them out.

As for money, at least Wu Qiong could use it to do good deeds.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Qiong got up and opened the door. The waiter outside bowed and smiled broadly, "Sir, your meal is ready. The proprietress asked me to call you down to eat. Our Chef Zheng's cooking is superb; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Oh?" Wu Qiong's eyes lit up: "Then I really have to try it. You go and prepare it first, I'll call them."

"Alright! Thank you for your help!" The waiter went downstairs to serve the dishes.

Wu Qiong smiled knowingly, anticipating what surprise the other party might have in store for him.

Even if the other party backs down, he will still find an opportunity to cause trouble.

When the group came downstairs, the food was already prepared. Jie Se exclaimed, "How can we have food without wine! Waiter! Bring out your best wine for Buddha!"

"Here you are! Your wine!" The waiter placed two jars of wine on the table: "Our specialty is 'Drunken Dream'! Sir, this wine will make you drunk after just one cup, so please take it easy."

"Sure, sure!" Jiese slapped open the mud seal and took a big gulp.

"Hmm?" His expression changed, and he gave Wu Qiong a wink.

The wine was laced with drugs.

"..." Wu Qiong was speechless.

He was still trying to find an excuse to cause trouble when the waiter delivered himself to his doorstep.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a playful smile on his face: "Brother, your wine... is truly extraordinary."

"This...this..." The waiter was sweating profusely.

The proprietress only said not to put drugs in the food, but she didn't say not to put drugs in the alcohol!

He instinctively served the drugged wine... What should he do?

Wu Qiong slammed his fist on the table, about to erupt in anger.

Suddenly, a loud bang! The inn's door was smashed open from the outside by something!

Wu Qiong turned his head and saw that it was a person who had rolled in.
