306: Chapter 191 Really a Demon_8 306: Chapter 191 Really a Demon_8 Those escort masters had traveled north and south and had seen plenty of beauties, but they had never seen anyone as beautiful as these two.
For a moment, nearly everyone was spellbound.
When Sun Wukong and his companions looked for a table to sit down at, they found that all the tables were already full.
It was then that a young man came to his senses.
Dressed in tight-fitting clothing, he had an imposing air to him, not like that of an ordinary escort.
Indeed, the young man came over, and with a slight bow, he said with a smile, “I’m Li Chang’an from the Chang’an Escort Agency, junior escort head.
I’ve seen the three of you before.”
Sun Wukong also bowed and said, “You’re too kind.”
He didn’t reveal his own name, and Li Chang’an didn’t ask.
The three of them didn’t seem like ordinary people, not to mention their luxurious clothing, and they also had an air about them that he couldn’t see through.
Li Chang’an was well aware that such people were usually remarkable individuals, and they could even possibly be the legendary Sword Immortals.
“Brothers, get up and give these three a place to sit.”
He tapped a few brothers on the shoulder at one of the tables.
The escort masters didn’t mind, and they chuckled as they squeezed together at other tables.
Li Chang’an personally cleared the table and invited the three to sit down.
Sun Wukong looked at him with some surprise, nodded, and said, “You’re not bad.”
For some reason, Li Chang’an felt flattered by such simple praise, as if he were being honored.
What he didn’t know was that beings like Sun Wukong, who are sacred between heaven and earth, if they deigned to compliment someone, could change that person’s fate, making their life different.
In the future, Li Chang’an would become extremely outstanding, a true dragon among men.
“Thank you for the compliment, sir.”
Li Chang’an personally fetched the tea, and then asked the innkeeper to serve some food.
At the same time, he took out some dried rations and meat from his own package and handed them to Sun Wukong and his companions.
“Sir, madams, please eat these for now, rest assured, they’re all clean,” he said as he offered up the food.
Li Chang’an served the items.
This made the escort masters very curious.
The junior escort head was indeed approachable, but to be so hospitable to strangers like he was today was something they had never seen before.
They looked at Sun Wukong and his two companions strangely, wondering if there was something different about them.
Sun Wukong said with a smile, “You’re a decent person, it wasn’t in vain that I stopped to save your life.”
Li Chang’an was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
“The tea is poisoned,” Sun Wukong said.
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone’s face changed.
Li Chang’an said in disbelief, “How could that be?
I’ve already tested it with a silver needle; there was no poison.”
Nu Ba sneered and said, “Silver needles can indeed detect poison, but what if a Demon did the poisoning?”
Li Chang’an’s face went pale.
At that moment, the inn’s waiters and the innkeeper all had a dark look in their eyes.
The innkeeper, an old man, grinned threateningly, looking at Sun Wukong and his companions, “I never expected two cultivators to show up.
You could see the poison I used at a glance.
Seems like you’re quite powerful.
If I devour the three of you cultivators today, it may indeed help my Demon Skills progress even further.”
“Boss, leave those mortals to me.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full meal,” said the waiter excitedly.
The old man replied with a smile, “No problem, these three cultivators are mine, and all the mortals are yours.
I’m only interested in improving my power.”
Mortals could enhance one’s power, but they had limited spiritual energy.
For a Demon who feeds on blood, the flesh of cultivators, filled with powerful spiritual energy, was far more nourishing.
“They really are Demons,” Li Chang’an said shakily, realizing that he had actually encountered Demons.
