"That inn is so eerie. Brother Chenn is going inside. Is that really okay?" Xiao Li, having waited barely two minutes, already had a look of anxiousness climbing her brows.
I was actually quite cautious myself, with a heart hanging in suspense, yet I comforted Xiao Li, "Of course it's okay. After all, it's someone Yu Longting knows, and your Brother Chenn's physique isn't afraid of Corpse Qi." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novęlfire.net
"That's true. My Brother Chenn is a Living Dead, quite formidable indeed." Xiao Li, reassured by my words, immediately stopped worrying.
The inherent inferiority that had seeped into the Beichen family over the years was something Xiao Li took pride in.
She loved him to death and back, even wanting to bear Beichen's children.
As a result, Beichen now seemed to not mind this aspect at all.
So, what can change a man is probably only a woman.
The Corpse-Driving Inn was built on a bustling small-town market, even though very few people stayed at the Corpse-Driving Inn.
Generally, only Corpse Drivers passing through, needing to carry bodies, would stay there.
But the market itself was very lively, selling an array of various items.
"Wanwan, come check this out. These flower umbrellas all look so lovely, they're all handmade oil-paper umbrellas," Xiao Li was immediately attracted by a bustling umbrella stand, the umbrellas' patterns bright and colorful with a gorgeous ethnic flair.
I walked over, took an umbrella from Xiao Li that was adorned with Miao Embroidery peony flowers, "Buy whichever you like. I'll pay for it."
"Will you buy everything I have my eyes on?" Xiao Li's eyes filled with little stars.
I folded away my original umbrella and twirled the floral umbrella Xiao Li had chosen, "Yes, not just oil-paper umbrellas, whatever you like, I'll buy for you."
"I want this one, and that one too." Xiao Li, excited, picked two more flower umbrellas.
I took out my phone and scanned the QR code to pay, "Perfect, three umbrellas, one for each of us."
"Do you want to eat eight-treasure porridge? There's some over there."
"Yes, seems like it's even brewed with medicinal herbs, smells especially good."
"Let's go, let's go and give it a try."
As a result, Xiao Li and I both had two big bowls, our stomachs round from being so full.
When paying, I didn't forget to pack a bowl to leave for Beichen.
"There's Miao Silver over there, let's go buy some handmade accessories," Xiao Li pulled me toward the accessory stall.
But I pulled her to stay beside the porridge stall at a snake charming stall, "Hold on, let's look here first."
"Oh right, you're Snake Granny. These little snakes are being bullied. Aren't you going to stand up for them?" Xiao Li asked me in a hushed voice.
I answered, "These snakes really are quite pitiful, but the three stall owners here are bona fide folk artisans. How could I possibly ruin their livelihoods?"
It was even less likely that I would save these snakes; all had their fangs pulled out and were forced to perform.
Their lifespans are almost never more than half a month, even if I bought them all now, they wouldn't live much longer.
Before these snakes died, they were generally turned into snake wine by the artisans to sell.
That's why there were so many colorful bottles of snake wine displayed in front of these snake baskets and baskets.
"So what are you planning to do? Buy snake wine, or maybe?" Xiao Li was even more puzzled by my lingering, "Your husband is a snake, you can actually drink this?"
My gaze fell on the snake wine, then on the six sealed pitch-black clay pots, I asked the stall owner, "Excuse me, are you selling Ice Silkworm Gu in these clay pots?"
"Woman, are you stirring up trouble with other little insects again?? You're so... fickle..."
Xiao Honghong grumbled dissatisfiedly, angrily trying to peek out from under the collar but I pushed her back.
The three stall owners, hearing my words, all showed shocked expressions.
The one who was playing the flute put down the instrument at his lips, furrowed his brows and said, "Indeed, it is Ice Silkworm Gu, but all six of these pots contain gu insects, and the pots are still sealed! How do you know this pot contains Ice Silkworm Gu?"
