Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 960 - 877: Qiao Ling’er Gets a Room

All the mountain bandits around were secretly observing Qiao Ling’er and Bai Lianhua with their peripheral vision. Some looked at Qiao Ling’er with admiration, while others were filled with jealousy. Bai Lianhua was a flower of Phoenix Head Mountain, yet an outsider like you dared to have the guts to pick it.

When Qiao Ling’er was learning from Bai Jin, Pickup Art was the subject he excelled in the most. Other martial arts, talisman, and escape skills all served to enhance the show when practicing Pickup Art.

Under Qiao Ling’er’s shameless advances, Bai Lianhua gradually evolved from resistance to calmly accepting.

At this moment, the Demon Clan under Wutian came searching. Although Wutian abandoned Spiritual Mountain, he did not give up on hunting down Tathagata. Overnight, Phoenix Head Mountain turned to scorched earth.

With Golden Lotus’s protection, Qiao Ling’er managed to escape, but Bai Lianhua fell into the hands of the Demon Clan and was taken as a disciple by Ying Yao.

In the ensuing years, Qiao Ling’er and Bai Lianhua loved and fought, then ambiguously involved Bi You. Bai Lianhua and Bi You competed with each other, but later, through Qiao Ling’er’s skillful tactics, Bai Lianhua turned from evil to good, and Bi You willingly devoted herself. In the end, Qiao Ling’er successfully won the heart of both beauties.

...

On a nighttime street, Qiao Ling’er held Bai Lianhua’s hand with one hand and Bi You’s hand with the other. The three walked silently on the street, accompanied by the distant sound of the watchman’s drum.

Qiao Ling’er glanced to the left; Bai Lianhua looked valiant.

He looked to the right; Bi You was gentle and considerate.

With a sigh, he said, "To have the companionship of two ladies in this life is truly Qiao Ling’er’s blessing."

Bi You smiled softly and said, "To know Qiao in this life is our sisters’ fortune."

Bai Lianhua nodded with a smile and said, "Sister is right. If it weren’t for Qiao, I’d still be a bandit on the mountain! Qiao saved me." Her gaze toward Qiao Ling’er was filled with deep affection.

Qiao Ling’er tightened his grip on their hands and sighed, "In such a scene, I want to recite a poem."

Bai Lianhua and Bi You both looked at Qiao Ling’er expectantly.

Qiao Ling’er paused and recited, "Who holds my hand, curbing half a lifetime of madness;

Who kisses my eyes, shielding half a lifetime of wanderings;

Who soothes my face, comforting half a life of sorrow;

Who carries my heart, melting half a life of frost;

...

I hold your jade hand, gathering all your life;

I soothe your graceful neck, shielding you from life’s storms.

To braid your dark hair, to entwine a lifetime of thoughts;

To hold your hand, sharing a lifelong love."

Bai Lianhua and Bi You looked at Qiao Ling’er with admiration.

Bi You said emotionally, "I would hold your hand until my steps falter."

Bai Lianhua also said, "I would hold your hand facing God Demon’s blades."

Qiao Ling’er suddenly brightened and said, "There’s an inn ahead, let’s go stay there!"

Bi You and Bai Lianhua both rolled their eyes; the wonderful atmosphere was instantly ruined by him.

The three of them entered the inn.

The waiter immediately greeted them with a smile and said, "Are you here to dine or stay, esteemed guests?"

Qiao Ling’er smiled and said, "Stay, three top rooms."

The waiter immediately shouted, "Alright~ Three top rooms!"

Qiao Ling’er coughed and said, "Why don’t you check if there are three top rooms available? Don’t worry, money’s no issue!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, unclear of the situation. Of course, I know how many top rooms there are; why check? I suspect you doubt my competence. Hesitatingly, he said, "I remember we have them."

The innkeeper couldn’t bear it anymore and immediately came out, pushing the waiter aside, saying, "Go~ go~, what do you know, go clean up."

"Alright~" the waiter immediately ran off to clean.

The innkeeper smiled and said, "Young master, are you sincerely wanting to stay?"

Qiao Ling’er immediately nodded and said, "Of course sincerely, don’t worry, money’s not an issue."

The innkeeper shook his head, smiling, "Sincerity is good.

Sorry, there’s only one top room left."

Bai Lianhua promptly said dissatisfied, "Your waiter just said there were rooms, how come you say there are none."

"Miss, that waiter is new and may have remembered wrong. There is indeed only one top room."

Bi You gently said, "A lesser room is fine."

The innkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, there really is only one guest room."

"This~"

Qiao Ling’er hesitated, looking at Bi You, said, "Sister Bi You, why don’t we squeeze in? It’s already dark, finding another inn is inconvenient." He patted his chest, promising, "Don’t worry, I’m not up to any funny business."

The innkeeper quickly said, "Three distinguished guests, all the inns in the city are full today."

Bi You hesitated, seeing Qiao Ling’er’s expectant eyes, her face reddened, she nodded.

Qiao Ling’er immediately looked at Bai Lianhua.

Bai Lianhua also nodded.

Qiao Ling’er joyfully exclaimed, "Innkeeper, prepare one top room, bring out the best food and wine."

The innkeeper immediately rejoiced and said, "Alright! One top room is 500 cents a day, food and wine charged separately. May I ask how many days the esteemed guests will be staying?"

Qiao Ling’er stepped forward, handed the innkeeper a money bag, and smiled, "Exactly 500 cents, staying one night. We’ll settle the meal cost when we leave."

"Alright~" the innkeeper replied with delight, immediately calling out, "Little White, bring the three esteemed guests to the best top room."

The little waiter immediately ran over, extending his hand to guide them, respectfully saying, "Esteemed guests, please follow me upstairs."

Qiao Ling’er and the two followed the waiter upstairs.

A moment later, the waiter ran downstairs, going to the innkeeper’s side, puzzled, and said, "Uncle, I don’t understand, we clearly have many top rooms, why say there’s only one?"

The innkeeper calmly said, "In business, you must learn to read people. This guest brought ladies here, and implies in his words he desires only one room, so we say there’s only one room. This often means improper intent toward the ladies."

The waiter exclaimed, "Innkeeper, aren’t we sending the ladies into the wolf’s mouth?"

"Hey~, they didn’t oppose, it’s mutual consent, why should we worry?"

"But, if we could rent out three rooms, now we can only rent one, doesn’t that mean we earn less money?"

The innkeeper glanced at him and said, "Who says we earn less money?"

He took Qiao Ling’er’s money bag, weighed it, and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Count how much is in here."

The waiter poured out the coins, clang~ a small pile of coins appeared, all light-golden Gold Coins of 100 in value.

The waiter counted them and looked up in shock, saying, "Uncle, there are exactly 1,500 cents here."

The innkeeper nodded and smiled, "See now? We provide convenience, he provides us convenience.

The money is the price for three rooms, but we only need to prepare one room, saving two rooms, why wouldn’t I be happy?"
