Villain: Take A Concubine To Become Stronger, Marry The Protagonist's Mother At The Beginning

"Are the two of you here to stay at the inn?"

Finally, someone paid attention to them. Su Qingyang quickly stepped forward to greet.

"Yes, innkeeper, please give us two of the best rooms."

The innkeeper looked puzzled but didn't say much. Su Qingyang now felt a bit embarrassed. It was strange for a man and a woman to stay in an inn and ask for two separate rooms. Anyone would find it odd.

The innkeeper led Su Qingyang and Tang Qingyue to their respective rooms and spoke.

"It seems that the two of you are from out of town and don't understand the rules here. Once it's nighttime, no matter what sounds you hear, do not open the door. The gates of the underworld open wide at night, and all sorts of monsters and ghosts come out."

This was exactly what Zhao Weiming had said. Tang Qingyue spoke up.

"Innkeeper, you are truly a good person. We just heard the same thing from a man named Zhao at the market."

Upon hearing Tang Qingyue mention a man named Zhao, the innkeeper quickly asked.

"Are you talking about Zhao Weiming?"

Su Qingyang nodded and replied.

"Yes, it's that man named Zhao. He even sold me a token for Tongcheng, but it was so expensive. It cost me a lot of silver, almost like being robbed."

The innkeeper smiled slightly and answered.

"He's just a swindler from the Jianghu, and this Tongcheng Token is not that expensive. If you really need it, I can even give you two pieces. However, there are only two types of people who can travel freely at night: monsters and demons, or highly skilled practitioners. Judging from your appearances, it's obvious that neither of you belong to these two categories. So, giving you the Tongcheng Token would be equivalent to endangering your lives. My old lady would never do such a despicable thing.

Upon hearing the innkeeper's words, the two individuals clearly felt deceived by Zhao Weiming. No wonder he didn't seem like a good person at first glance.

The two closed the door and sat down on chairs. Tang Qing looked puzzled and asked,

"I say, Qingyang, this place is really strange. It seems like we shouldn't go out at night. It's just too unsafe."

However, Su Qingyang didn't think the same way and said to Tang Qingyue,

"Don't forget our purpose for coming here. We're here to find the Fire Spirit Pearl. If we stay in this inn every day, how can we possibly find any clues about the Fire Spirit Pearl?"

One has to admit that Tang Qingyue agreed with Su Qingyang's statement. They came here to obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl, and such a thing definitely wouldn't appear during the day. As the saying goes, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch its cubs?' It seems that the two of them really need to take a risk.

"You rest for a while. I'll go out and take a look around, and I'll bring back some food for you."

As a man, it's only natural for Su Qingyang to dote on Tang Qingyue.

"Then go quickly and come back quickly. I'm a little scared being alone."

Su Qingyang nodded without saying a word, turned around, and opened the door to the room. The inn seemed deserted because besides the two of them, Su Qingyang had only seen the innkeeper. He didn't even know where the kitchen was. Fortunately, the innkeeper slowly walked over.

"Innkeeper, we haven't eaten all day. Can you prepare some food for us?"

Su Qingyang showed great respect for the innkeeper, feeling it from the moment they first met.

"I'll go prepare it then. There are some vegetarian dishes in the kitchen."
