Chapter 8 - Inn News

"My kidneys are fine."

His footsteps were weak and his face was pale. If he had dark circles under her eyes, he would definitely look like he had kidney deficiency.

If his kidneys could speak, they would probably be waving the flag and shouting.

Xu Bai sat on the chair and waited for the weakness to disappear.

His Genuine Qi was slowly repairing the deficiency of his kidneys. After an hour, his face gradually turned rosy.

"Phew… This feeling… I'm a grade nine martial artist, but I actually experienced a kidney deficiency."

Xu Bai let out a long breath. His body finally returned to normal. He stood up and stretched his body.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with my kidney. It's mainly because of the Kidney Massage Technique."

He felt that he was energetic and could finish five bowls of rice. It was the complete opposite from how weak he had felt just now.

Xu Bai pondered. The Kidney Massage Technique seemed like it could be used on someone else too.

The Kidney Massage Technique was a special technique. When it struck the kidney, it stimulated the contents of the Genuine Qi.

If it was used on someone else…

If he used it to punch someone else, the reputation for kidney deficiency would probably accompany them like the wind.

The scene was too beautiful.

"Speaking of eating, I'm really hungry." Xu Bai thought for a while and rubbed his stomach.

Ever since he returned from the Raging Tiger Bandits, he had hunted a few wild animals on the way.

Now that he suddenly relaxed, his stomach immediately started to grumble.

He was a martial arts practitioner, not a deity. It was impossible for him not to eat anything.

He glanced around and temporarily gave up on cooking.

If he wanted to cook, he had to go out to buy groceries. When he came back, he had to cook by himself. After he was done, he had to clean up.

Impossible!

Cook?

Even dogs would shake their heads after hearing this.

Xu Bai took out a set of casual clothes from the wardrobe in the room and changed out of the bodyguard uniform. Holding the Ghost Head Saber at his waist, he walked to the street outside.

The street outside was bustling with activity.

Xu Bai thought that since he had money and time, he might as well find a place to eat and drink.

Men had to treat themselves better.

They shouldn't mistreat themselves.

"I wonder where the brothel is…"

As he walked, his thoughts began to run wild.

Xu Bai had once thought about where he wanted to go the most if he really transmigrated.

The answer was a brothel.

He was a decent man. He had always been sure of that.

He mainly wanted to go out of curiosity.

It was said that in ancient times, prostitutes were worlds apart from modern women.

Putting aside zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, at least they wouldn't call him big brother so rudely.

They would call him Young Master. It sounded exciting.

If only he could experience it…

Unknowingly, Xu Bai had misunderstood.

At this moment, a fragrance came over and made him come back to his senses.

Looking in the direction of the fragrance, there was a two-story building at the corner of the street. The fragrance came from the building.

After this ordeal, it was already afternoon.

Coupled with the fragrance, he was too lazy to find another place to eat.

"Let's eat here."

When he got closer, he realized that it was an inn. A plaque was hung high up with the words 'Welcome Inn' written on it.

There were quite a lot of people in the inn. The customers were discussing too much or communicating in low voices.

Xu Bai found a seat by the window. Just as he sat down, the waiter walked over quickly with a cloth on his shoulder.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter asked with a smile as he poured a cup of tea for Xu Bai.

"Which dish is the best?" Xu Bai took a sip and smacked his lips.

The tea was ordinary, but it could quench his thirst.

In this day and age, free food was very ordinary. It was already not bad that it could be eaten.

"Sir, our restaurant has a lot of specialties, but the most famous ones are roasted chicken and braised beef. It's also one of the best in Sheng County. Also, the yellow wine is also top-notch," the waiter began to introduce.

"One roasted chicken, half a catty of braised beef, and a pot of yellow wine," Xu Bai ordered after some thought.

"Alright, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded and bowed before quickly informing the kitchen.

Since he had nothing to do during the meal, Xu Bai began to size up his surroundings.

Ever since he had the golden finger, he had developed this habit.

Every time he arrived at a place, he would first observe his surroundings to see if there was anything that triggered the golden finger.

However, after looking around for a long time, he still found nothing.

The dishes were served.

The roasted chicken, braised beef, and a pot of wine was placed on Xu Bai's table.

"Enjoy your meal," the waiter said and turned to leave.

Xu Bai picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. His eyes lit up.

The waiter was not lying. The dish was indeed one of the best. At least, he felt that it was delicious.

His stomach was empty, and with the temptation of delicious food, Xu Bai couldn't care less. He poured a cup of yellow wine and started eating.

In the beginning, he ate quickly, but when his stomach was slightly full, Xu Bai slowed down and enjoyed the taste of delicious food.

In Sheng County, the Welcome Inn was considered a big inn. Many people came here to eat.

With so many people coming and going, Xu Bai was enjoying his meal. He couldn't help but glance at the entrance of the inn and put down his wine cup.

A few people walked in from the entrance of the inn. They were all dressed differently and carried weapons.

After these people entered the inn, they started to make a lot of noises.

"Waiter, waiter!"

"Coming…"

When the waiter heard the voice, he hurried over and welcomed them to their seats.

Coincidentally, these people happened to be sitting at the table beside Xu Bai.

A middle-aged man frowned when he saw Xu Bai carrying a Ghost Head Saber at his waist.

However, he only sized Xu Bai up for a moment before immediately turning around and sitting in his seat.

"Waiter, bring out all of your signature dishes." After the middle-aged man sat down, he immediately ordered the waiter next to him.

When the waiter heard this, his eyes lit up. It was rare to see generous customers, but there were many generous and silly customers.

He didn't say anything else and quickly went to the kitchen.

When the middle-aged man saw the waiter leave, he turned around and started chatting with his companion.

Xu Bai ignored them and continued to eat and drink.

Judging from their attire, they were most likely people from the martial world.

Although Sheng County was small, there were many people in the martial world.

No matter how small a place was, there would always be people from the martial world.

Wasn't there a saying that wherever there were people, there would be a martial world?

Therefore, the surrounding people were used to it and did not look over.

At this moment, a sound came from the table beside him.

"Hey, have you guys heard? It hasn't been peaceful recently."

"What happened?"

"I heard that last night, at Blind Mountain, Golden Swordsman Zhao Chen died. I don't know who caused it, but it became strange at night."

"Golden Swordsman Zhao Chen? I've heard of this person. He's a grade eight martial artist…"

"It's probably related to the Jisheng Cult…"

Xu Bai had been eating and treating the conversation as an entertainment for the wine. Halfway through, he turned his gaze over.

Jisheng Cult?

Those bastards again?

The incident with the Raging Tiger Bandits was done by the Jisheng Cult.

There was even a female corpse in red. Thinking about it now, he still felt disgusted.

He felt that no matter what, they had to make it look better. At least it could look good.

Her red clothes and the sticky corpse oil were too disgusting.

"Listen."

Xu Bai thought for a while, then leaned to the side and continued to listen.

At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes over and placed them on the table.

Xu Bai took a look and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
