263: This lady boss has a big problem!
Before he could speak, Rose had already taken the lead and walked in.
"Landlady! Are there any rooms left? Give us the most luxurious one!"
Rose's bold voice echoed in the dim tree hollow, even overpowering the faint whispers and clinking of glasses coming from inside.
Su Mo helplessly glanced at Shen Yufu, who merely snorted expressionlessly but followed closely behind him.
Su Mo smiled bitterly to himself. These two young ladies truly carried their own background music wherever they went, as if afraid others wouldn't know they had arrived.
As Rose's voice faded, a voice of a mature woman, full of "charm" and "allure," emerged from the depths of the dark tree hollow.
"Oh, honored guests, please come in."
Before she finished speaking, Su Mo heard a "rustling" friction, like some hard limbs moving on the ground.
He looked up and saw a beautiful woman, nearly two meters tall with a voluptuous and full figure, swaying her plump, barrel-like waist as she slowly emerged from the darkness.
Her upper body was no different from a human female.
She wore a tight-fitting bellyband(dùdōu, a traditional Chinese bodice) woven from black spider silk.
Her face, which wasn't breathtakingly beautiful but full of mature charm, was heavily made up, and her obsidian-like eyes sparkled with shrewd yet seductive light.
A rich fragrance permeated her, mixed with a sweet, decaying scent that made one feel a slight discomfort.
However, when Su Mo's gaze fell on her lower body, his eyelid couldn't help but twitch violently.
Because her lower body wasn't human legs at all!
Instead, it was eight terrifying spider legs, covered in black fur and gleaming with a metallic sheen!
Holy crap! She really is a spider demon!
The spider-legged landlady, taking those eight somewhat "creepy" spider legs, walked up to Su Mo and his group.
Her obsidian-like eyes first swept over Shen Yufu and Rose, and when they landed on Su Mo, they noticeably brightened.
"Oh, this young man, you're truly handsome."
Beside Su Mo, Rose's and Shen Yufu's arms tightened almost simultaneously, like a silent warning.
"Landlady, we'd like to stay here."
Su Mo didn't want to get entangled with this seemingly troublesome spider demon and spoke directly to the point.
"Stay here? No problem, no problem."
The spider-legged landlady's smile became even more alluring.
Her eight spider legs moved with elegant steps, and she twisted her voluptuous body, approaching Su Mo step by step.
"Young man, seeing as you're so handsome, I'll give you a discount today."
"Our most luxurious 'Heavenly Number One' room is only… 9,998 game coins for one night."
"However…" She changed her tone, a more "benevolent" smile appearing on her face, her obsidian-like eyes fixed on Su Mo:
"As long as you're willing to stay and have a good 'chat about life' with me."
"Not only can I waive the room fee entirely for you."
"I can also give you a few jars of our unique thousand-year-old fine wine from the Spider Demon race as a bonus."
As she spoke, she even winked at Su Mo, her body language and gaze exuding blatant seduction.
Su Mo: "…"
Holy hell! This City of Depravity is too damn open, isn't it?!
Even staying at an inn requires being 'taken advantage of' by the landlady?!
Also, this Appearance(yánzhí, attractiveness index) really can be used to get free meals!
Su Mo looked at the spider landlady in front of him, who was frantically flirting with him, her eight hairy long legs restlessly scraping the ground, and a chill ran down his spine.
Although the landlady's upper body was indeed still charming and her figure definitely heavy-duty, the thought of her eight legs on her lower body made Su Mo feel his kidneys, which had just been drained by the Elf Elder, starting to ache faintly again.
This taste is too heavy!
Though Su Mo wasn't picky, he had his limits!
"Thank you for the landlady's kind offer, I appreciate it."
Su Mo wore an "upright" smile, subtly stepping back half a pace to create a safe distance from this dangerous woman.
"We'd still prefer to pay."
"Oh, young man, is this… you're looking down on me?"
The spider-legged landlady's eight compound eyes blinked in unison, and she put on a "heartbroken" expression, her voluptuous body even trembling dramatically.
"Damn it, don't talk nonsense!"
Su Mo cursed in his heart, but his smile remained on his face.
"The landlady is exceptionally beautiful and charming. This junior is merely short on money and fears he cannot afford the landlady's 'service fee.'"
"Hehehe…"
"Young man, you really know how to talk." After she had her laugh, she looked deeply at Su Mo with her obsidian-like eyes, a hint of playfulness flashing in their depths.
"Alright, since you're so 'shy,' young man, I won't force you."
As she spoke, she pulled out a rustic key strung together with black spider silk from her exaggerated chest.
"The Heavenly Number One room is free for you all tonight."
"Just consider it making a friend with you, young man."
She handed the key to Su Mo, her fingertips, painted with black nail polish, deliberately lightly tracing his palm.
Su Mo felt as if a cold venomous snake had licked him, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He suppressed his discomfort and snatched the key from her hand.
"Then… thank you, landlady."
Su Mo politely said, then pulled the two equally "vigilant" women behind him and walked upstairs without looking back.
"Damn it, Su Mo, you're something else!"
As soon as they entered the room, Rose couldn't help but blurt out a curse, "How long have you been in the City of Depravity, and even a spider demon wants to hit on you?"
"If you had agreed just now, would you have experienced what it's like to be in a 'Pan Si Dong' (Spiderweb Cave) tonight?"
She winked mischievously, her tone clearly teasing.
"Get out of here!"
Su Mo glared at her exasperatedly, pushing her away, "Do you think I'm like you two, who'll eat anything?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Shen Yufu also chimed in, standing elegantly beside Su Mo, her words carrying a sharp edge.
"I saw your eyes almost glued to the landlady's chest just now."
"That was… that was because I was scared!" Su Mo adamantly denied, shamelessly arguing without blushing or his heart racing.
"Tsk ~" Both women simultaneously gave him a look full of "contempt."
Su Mo was too lazy to bicker with them further. He walked to the window and looked at the dark city outside, which was filled with an aura of "chaos" and "evil." A thoughtful gleam flashed in his eyes, which glowed with an eerie red light.
This spider landlady is a bit off.
Logically speaking, although the City of Depravity is chaotic, it still adheres to the most basic law of the jungle.
Someone like her, who can run such a large inn here, is definitely not a good Samaritan and is unlikely to suffer losses easily.
So why was she so "enthusiastic" towards him?
Was it really just because he was handsome?
Holy crap, can you really get by on looks alone in this place?
I should have sculpted a few more faces if I had known.
Su Mo silently grumbled in his heart, but his vigilance remained undiminished.
He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
This free room might come at a much heavier price than an exorbitantly priced one.
