"Wow, these people really dare to think of such things!"

Gan San Niang didn't dare to engage with these older women. She quickly finished cleaning the courtyard and went into the main hall.

After two days, she had already realized that this place might not be a paradise, but rather a rather magical human world.

Just like in those television shadow puppet shows.

So these older women are just ordinary people.

But Gan San Niang didn't think Luo Zhuang was an ordinary person.

She guessed that the immortal might be a god who played among mortals and opened this inn in the human world, which was why he was able to bring all sorts of strange people from different times to the same place.

She, San Niang, is merely a mortal. What right does she have to be associated with immortals?!

However, Gan San Niang was preoccupied with another matter. After cleaning up all the places Luo Zhuang had asked her to clean, she returned to her own room, cleaned it as well, and then went to Hua Heng Yue's room.

"Knock knock knock".

She didn't know how to ring the doorbell, so she knocked on the door.

After Hua Hengyue opened the door, she grinned and said as she entered, "Little sister, how's your kung fu practice going? You should keep practicing while I tidy up the room for you."

Hua Hengyue hurriedly said, "How could I trouble you with this, sister? I can do it myself."

Gan San Niang exclaimed in surprise, "What? You'll do it yourself? This is a task the Immortal Master taught me, don't try to take it from me!"

Hua Hengyue was both amused and exasperated.

Seeing that Gan San Niang came in and helped her tidy up, she hurriedly followed suit.

Fortunately, there wasn't much to tidy up in the room, and the two of them finished in no time.

The two sat down, looked at each other, and smiled. Gan San Niang said, "I must say, after tidying up the house, it feels so clean and refreshing, it makes me feel quite comfortable."

"Um."

Hua Hengyue wiped the slight sweat from her forehead and nodded in response.

Suddenly, Gan San Niang asked, "Sister, since you came here, have you ever gone back?"

Hua Hengyue said, "No, sister, what's wrong?"

Gan San Niang said, "The immortal kept me here, granted me the means to take revenge, and even lent me that medicine pouch to help me cultivate. I said I had no way to repay him, but how could I remain indifferent?"

However, all my belongings have already been given to the Immortal Master as payment for the rent. Now, I have no way to give the Immortal Master anything as a token of my gratitude.

I thought that if I went back, I could find something to give to the immortal.

But I've never been back, and I'm afraid that if I go back, I won't be able to come back. What should I do then?

Hua Hengyue listened to Gan San Niang's words, but the focus was on something else: "You paid the Immortal Master for all your belongings as rent?!"

Gan San Niang said, "Yes, before I came here, I heard a voice from beyond the heavens saying that I could use three things to offset the rent."

But two of those three things weren't in my possession, and the third, the "Zhenyue Zen Kung Fu," I couldn't master myself, so in a fit of pique, I used them all to pay off my rent.

Hua Hengyue said, "So that's how it can be done... I originally thought it was just choosing one out of three..."

"..."

Gan San Niang paused for a moment, then said, "Let's not talk about that for now. You can use the other two items as collateral for the house."

"Girl, tell me... if I leave here for now, will I be able to bring my things back?"

Hua Hengyue said, "I really don't know. Sister, why don't you ask the immortal?"

Gan San Niang asked, "But if the Immortal Master knew beforehand that I wanted to give him something as a token of my gratitude, would he refuse?"

Hua Hengyue said, "You only said you wanted to go back once, don't mention that you were going to find something to give to the immortal."

Gan San Niang slapped her forehead and said, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?" She immediately turned around and walked out.

Hua Hengyue followed behind and said, "Sister, please wait a moment. If I can come back after we go back, I would also like to go back and buy some things to give to the Immortal Master."

……

The courtyard was filled with the clattering sound of mahjong tiles being rubbed, as the aunties enthusiastically shouted out "Red Dragon!" and "East Wind!" while Luo Zhuang continued practicing his skills in the main hall.

He became addicted to practicing his skills, and now that he had the Crimson Pearl Medicine Pouch on his person, he felt no fatigue at all, so he practiced several times in the main hall.

As he practiced, he suddenly discovered another set of treasured items on the front desk.

This treasured set wasn't stored in a box; it was displayed openly, containing porcelain, wood carvings, fine silk, and scrolls—it looked far more exquisite than Gan San Niang's set.

Moreover, there were more porcelain and wood carvings on display than Gan San Niang, which meant that each had a few more actions.

Luo Zhuang's eyes widened in astonishment; his vision had been completely opened. Did his old friends really play these elaborate games?!

However, he immediately realized something was wrong. The aunties were playing mahjong in the yard. Would they have seen them?

He quickly glanced into the courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the women were engrossed in playing mahjong and hadn't noticed him.

Even so, he was still a little uneasy, so he quickly went to pack up the newly appeared treasured items. At the same time, he wondered if there were new customers in the store. But if there were new customers, why didn't the system give a notification?

Also, why does every customer who comes to this shop bring a dowry set to keep in their trunk?

Is this a standard feature of the system?

Before he could even pack up his treasured set, he suddenly heard a cry of "Oh dear!" behind him. Turning around, he saw that it was Gan San Niang and Hua Heng Yue coming downstairs.

"The dowry is kept at the bottom of the trunk?"

Gan San Niang recognized it and exclaimed in amazement, "Tsk tsk, what an exquisite treasure chest!" This woman had obviously seen her dowry and knew what the treasure chest contained was.

Hua Hengyue, standing next to her, blushed instantly. It was Hua Hengyue who had just exclaimed "Oh dear!"

When Luo Zhuang turned around, he saw Hua Hengyue covering her mouth, her face flushed red. She said shyly, "Immortal Master... Immortal Master, please don't misunderstand. This humble woman truly did not know that this was the most treasured item in the box..."

Ok……

Luo Zhuang understood what was going on.

So it turns out that Hua Hengyue used another item of hers to pay for the rent.

The treasure chest can be exchanged for 5 system coins, which means that Hua Hengyue can stay here for another five days.

Why didn't she use those two taels of silver as well?

While thinking to himself, Luo Zhuang replied with a smile, "It's alright. Miss Gan also has a set of these things. They're related to human relations, so there's nothing shameful about them. Besides, these things might be worth a lot of money here, so it's quite good."

Hua Hengyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she didn't completely believe it. She just felt that Luo Zhuang was kind-hearted and was using this excuse to comfort her.

Gan San Niang thought so too, and thought to herself: "The immortal is truly a good person... such a divine being..."

"Master, there is something I would like to ask you."

Gan San Niang asked, "If I leave this inn and return home now, will I be able to come back?"

Luo Zhuang recalled the rules written on the system and replied, "Of course, no problem. You've paid rent for so long, and you still haven't had enough of staying here."

As long as I have a few more days here, I can come back whenever I want after I go back; it's just a matter of a thought.

Furthermore, the count of your hotel stay will stop after you return; it will only resume when you come back.
