151: Heavenly being? Not even worthy of carrying shoes

Ye Fan walked up to the proprietress, who was already terrified and desperate, and looked down at her.

"I'll give you a chance to live."

His voice was as gentle as if he were reminiscing with an old friend.

But this gentle tone, in the proprietress's ears, was no less than a demonic sound from the depths of the Nine Hells.

"Senior... Senior, please speak! As long as this servant can do it, I will not hesitate to die ten thousand times!"

"It's very simple." Ye Fan's smile grew even brighter, "Contact the 'Adult' behind you and tell him that you've caught an unprecedented big fish, and have him send someone to receive it."

Upon hearing this, the proprietress shivered all over!

She wasn't stupid; she instantly understood Ye Fan's intention.

This... this was to follow the vine to find the melon, to uproot the Adult behind her!

"Senior... Senior, you... you want to..." Her voice trembled, her face filled with terror.

"That's right." Ye Fan admitted frankly, "I want to see what kind of thing can raise a group of man-eating beasts like you."

"No! Absolutely not!"

The proprietress shook her head like a rattle-drum, the expression on her face, distorted by fear, was even more exaggerated than if she had seen a ghost.

"Senior, you don't know the methods of that Adult!"

"If you do this, this servant will die! I will die a more miserable death than anyone!"

She seemed to recall something extremely terrifying; her already pale face now showed not a trace of blood.

"The one who was in charge of this inn before was not this servant."

"It was... it was the previous Manager Wang."

"He just didn't want to continue doing such immoral deeds and tried to secretly escape with the savings he had accumulated for half his life, but he was caught and brought back by the people sent by that Adult!"

At this point, the proprietress's teeth were chattering, and her peachy eyes, which usually carried a hint of charm, were now filled with endless fear.

"This servant saw it with my own eyes..."

"He was flayed alive and hung on a crooked neck tree at the entrance of the town, wailing for three days and three nights!"

"Then, those people also drilled a hole in his skull, and poured... poured dense swarms of man-eating ants into it."

"He watched helplessly as his body was devoured bit by bit by those ants!"

"Senior! Manager Wang was a genuine Heavenly Human Realm expert! Even he couldn't resist. You... how can you expect us ordinary mortals, who haven't even reached Innate, to fight that Adult?!"

Before she could continue.

"Heavenly Human Realm?"

A disdainful sneer came from the side.

One of the three silent old men behind Yang Yi slowly opened his old eyes and spoke with disdain.

"Is that even worthy of being called an expert?"

"Such trash isn't even qualified to shine my shoes."

How arrogant! How domineering!

The proprietress was instantly stunned, her head buzzing, a complete blank.

She never expected them to be so arrogant!

They didn't even put a Heavenly Human Realm expert in their eyes.

Who... who exactly are they?!

...

Ultimately, under the terrifying pressure inadvertently leaked by the three Martial Emperor old men.

The proprietress completely caved.

"Senior! This servant... this servant will do as you say! This servant will listen to everything you say!"

"As long as you spare this lowly life of mine, you can make this servant do anything!"

She finally understood now.

The group of people in front of her were not existences she could afford to provoke.

"Wouldn't it have been simpler to do this earlier?" Ye Fan smiled, and in her eyes, that smile was more terrifying than a devil's.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, I won't kill you."

The proprietress felt as if she had received a great pardon, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

She had no idea that Ye Fan had silently added a sentence in his heart.

"I won't kill you."

"But that doesn't mean others won't kill you."

...

Half an hour later.

A carrier pigeon soared from the inn into the sky, disappearing into the depths of the night.

Tied to the pigeon's leg was a secret letter written in code.

The content of the letter was very simple.

Only four words—

"Big fish, hooked."

...

After all this was done, the inn returned to peace.

The proprietress's subordinates were temporarily sealed of their Internal Energy by Ye Fan's special technique and locked in the woodshed.

Waiting is the most grueling part.

Yang Yi was already yawning incessantly out of boredom.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged, consolidating his cultivation, which had just Broken through to Purple Mansion Second Layer.

Only Nanny seemed to have sensed something.

She looked at the aura on Ye Fan, which was even stronger than before, and pouted her small mouth.

"Hmph! Senior Brother has become so powerful, Nanny can't be lazy either!"

The little girl was full of fighting spirit.

She scurried back to her room and poured out all the Millennium Spirit Medicine that Lin Fan had extorted... oh no, 'compensated' her for earlier.

Without caring whether the medicinal properties clashed, she directly popped them into her mouth one by one.

...

The next day, at noon.

A carrier pigeon landed on the eaves of the inn.

The proprietress was pulled by Ye Fan to retrieve the reply.

The content of the letter was equally simple.

"People have arrived, wait quietly."

Another day passed.

"They're here."

Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing and disappearing.

His Divine Sense had already captured three powerful auras a dozen miles away, and these three auras were rapidly shooting towards Yingping Town.

Void Realm.

Three of them.

"Brother Yang, Nanny, time to get to work."

Ye Fan's voice entered the other two rooms.

"Alright!" Yang Yi instantly became energized.

Nanny also ended her cultivation.

At this moment, she was only a thin layer of window paper away from Purple Mansion Third Layer!

Ye Fan walked up to the proprietress.

"Remember, later, you should know what to say and what not to say."

"If you dare to play any tricks..."

"Die."

A single, understated word made the proprietress tremble all over, then nod frantically.

"Senior, don't worry! This servant will definitely cooperate!"

"Very good."

Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction.

He exchanged glances with Yang Yi and Nanny, and all three saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes, as if watching a good show unfold.

Without another word, the three went into the secret room, tied themselves up, then lay directly on the ground, holding their breath, suppressing all their auras, and began to feign unconsciousness.

The three Martial Emperor old men, on the other hand, melted into the surrounding shadows.

In less than five minutes.

Three figures dressed in black appeared in the inn's main hall.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with an empty expression.

He pulled out a token carved with a blood-red skull from hisIn arms and shook it at the proprietress, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Inspect the goods."
