My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2146: Chapter 2142: Lotus Inn

Hei Ban and Fat Head exchanged a glance; Tang Ming’s words were clearly not a lie, and the two began to hesitate.

After all, at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, he was considered one of the most formidable individuals on the North Coast of the Lost Sea.

Hei Ban stretched out her hand, and a black bead appeared in it.

With a flash, she came beside Tang Ming, clasped his neck, and placed the black bead into his mouth.

"Miss Hei Ban, what do you mean by this?"

Feeling a constant chill emanating from his Dantian, Tang Ming’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Hei Ban and asked.

Hei Ban’s lips curled slightly: "This item is my Dan Pearl; it’s beneficial for your breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. Since you mentioned that without the Golden Core Stage cultivation, it’s difficult to kill Qingfeng Can and Qingfeng Ziyun’s remains, you can only stay here temporarily to gather intelligence for us. Fat Head and I will return to the Lost Sea for reinforcements. With this Dan Pearl present, if you try to escape, I’ll make sure you can’t live or die."

Tang Ming clenched his fist, glaring coldly at Hei Ban and Fat Head. However, Hei Ban and Fat Head ignored his angry expression.

To be precise, for the Demon Clan, human expressions are all the same. They are unwilling to care, and they won’t care.

The demon wind carried a foul stench as Hei Ban and Fat Head disappeared from the courtyard. Tang Ming sat in the small guest room, gazing outside.

A knock sounded outside the courtyard, and Tang Ming took a deep breath: "Come in."

A girl in a light green lotus dress and pink embroidered shoes.

The girl carrying a bamboo basket cheerfully approached Tang Ming: "Guest, where are Sister Hei Ban and Brother Fat Head?"

"They went home. Who are you?"

Tang Ming glanced at the girl; there was no demon energy on her, indicating she had no connection with Hei Ban and Fat Head.

The girl placed the food box aside: "I’m Lian’er. Yesterday, you were seriously injured, and I helped treat your wounds."

Lian’er placed the food box next to Tang Ming.

Upon opening the food box, it contained several exquisite small dishes, which smelled particularly fragrant, perhaps because Tang Ming was genuinely hungry.

"It’s quite tasty."

After tasting a few bites, Tang Ming gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Lian’er smiled brightly: "I made them myself; since you like them, have more. Brother, do you know when Sister Hei Ban and Brother Fat Head will return? They live at my place and haven’t paid yet."

"This isn’t an inn."

Tang Ming glanced around; it didn’t resemble an inn at all.

Lian’er chuckled: "No, this is my family’s courtyard. After my parents died, I opened a homestay. How is it? It’s quite nice, right? You’re my first guest. However, if you don’t pay me Spirit Stones, I won’t be able to host you."

"Take this; you should be able to exchange it for some Spirit Stones."

Take these few Spirit Grasses; I’ll buy this courtyard too. Remember, don’t come back.

"What’s going on? Are you in trouble, brother? When my father hunted demons, he left behind some things that might help you."

Something in Tang Ming’s expression reminded Lian’er of her brother who fell with her father.

Only her brother had looked at her with such caring eyes.

Before Tang Ming could stop her, Lian’er brought a wooden chest beside him.

The chest contained many cluttered items: clothes, a treasure sword, and Tang Ming even discovered a broken Storage Ring.

"These were left by my brother and father. Before they fell, they worked for the Mist Shadow Organization. My brother said he was skilled in Concealing and Disguise, and if you provoked powerful enemies, use them to escape."

Lian’er’s sincere gaze made Tang Ming feel guilty.

Having come to the Taoyuan World, Tang Ming was accustomed to deceit, but Lian’er’s appearance was like a clear spring, illuminating his heart.

"Thank you, Lian’er. I, Tang Ming, promise that one day if I prosper, I will repay you for giving these items to me. I have some Spirit Grass here; sell them. If the Wu Family in Coastal City finds out about your connection with Demon Clan members Hei Ban and Fat Head, you’ll be in danger."

Tang Ming held Lian’er’s hand.

Lian’er was startled: "Brother Tang Ming, you’re not also a demon, are you?"

"Of course not; I’m actually captured by them, but they still find me useful. Quickly leave. The money from these Spiritual Medicines is enough for you to settle somewhere."

Tang Ming gave all his remaining Spiritual Medicine to Lian’er.

After learning that Hei Ban and Fat Head were from the Demon Clan, Lian’er’s demeanor towards Tang Ming became less friendly. She took the Spirit Grass from Tang Ming and hurriedly left.

Surveying this homestay in the courtyard, Tang Ming found it very simple: two bedrooms, a living room, and two side rooms.

As he reached the gate, a patrol team happened to pass by, and Tang Ming was surprised to see they were holding his picture.

"Even here isn’t safe; let’s take a look at the items Lian’er’s brother left behind."

Tang Ming turned around and disappeared on the spot.

While Lian’er was present, Tang Ming hadn’t dared thoroughly examine the items she gave him.

Now, as he reviewed them, Tang Ming was shocked to find several clothes weren’t separate but combined into a single Magic Treasure.

The Magic Treasure’s function was twofold: to Conceal Breath and swiftly change clothes, thus altering the wearer’s appearance. This was indeed crucial for Tang Ming.

But what surprised Tang Ming most were the two Jade Scrolls beneath the clothes.

The two Jade Scrolls recorded two Immortal Techniques: one named Fog Shadow Technique and the other Throat Cutting Technique.

Both Immortal Techniques seemed simple and understandable, yet of high level.

Tang Ming suddenly felt this Lian’er wasn’t simple; among the items she handed him, only the broken Storage Ring seemed useless.

Yet these remaining three objects were far more valuable than the Spiritual Medicine he gave her.

Tang Ming tucked away the Jade Scrolls, then donned the clothing-like Magic Treasure.

Footsteps grew increasingly tricky as Tang Ming reached the doorway, finding his residence surrounded.

"Are you sure the girl said Tang Ming is in this courtyard?"

A hoarse voice came from the entrance as Wu Ying’s eyes dazzled, fixing on the courtyard, and asked.

Standing beside Wu Ying, Wu Hong grinned: "Second brother, how could I deceive you? But this was told to me by that young girl; whether it’s true or not, I’m not certain."
