"Hehe, madam has quite the sense of humor!" The proprietress was not a fool; she recognized a threat when she heard one.
"Weâve reserved the entire second floor. No one is allowed upstairs." Yang Chuxia added, "Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The sudden murderous intent almost made the bossâs legs give out.
The two were about to head downstairs when a hellish cold voice came again.
"Go and get the town doctor for me."
"Yes, yes!"
Downstairs, the proprietress wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Oh my! That was terrifying." Yesterday she was all smiles, such a kind lady, how did she turn into a female executioner today.
"Wife, you were right. Lucky we didnât take action last night. Otherwise, weâd definitely be reporting to the Hall of Hell by now."
The boss thought carefully about the aura of that woman earlier; she was clearly not someone they should provoke. He was still thinking of selling her, but in the end, who would sell whom was not certain.
Though greedy and not a good person, he had a sense of self-awareness. He knew who couldnât be offended and who could be sold without causing trouble. He had a measure in his heart.
"By the way, honey, these people are not ordinary. Shouldnât we report this?"
"Youâre right." The boss rubbed his chin. "Do you think theyâre after our town?"
"What if they really are after our town, what should we do?" The proprietress was scared.
The boss thought for a moment and said, "Hereâs the plan, you go get the doctor first, then go find out how long they intend to stay. If theyâre leaving tomorrow, we wonât report. If they have no specific plans, weâll report while gathering the whole town to take them down. Though they seem formidable, we have the numbers."
"Alright, Iâll listen to you." The proprietress straightened her sleeves. "Iâll fetch the barefoot doctor now."
After the proprietress and the boss left, Ye Liu appeared where they stood.
He went upstairs and relayed the conversation to Yang Chuxia.
"Madam, it seems we need to leave as soon as possible and not alert the enemy."
"Alright, go prepare the carriage first. Once the doctor arrives, weâll see what he says. If thereâs no issue, weâll leave this afternoon."
"Yes!"
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed like a poorly clad monk arrived under the proprietressâs lead.
"Madam, the doctor is here!"
Hearing this, the barefoot doctor raised his head, immediately grinning foolishly, his eyes almost glued to Yang Chuxia.
Oh my, where did this beauty come from?
Thinking this, he reached out to touch Yang Chuxiaâs wrist.
However, "Ah... it hurts, it hurts..."
"What are you trying to do?" Ye Liu had grabbed the barefoot doctorâs hand.
"Taking the pulse. Didnât you call me to see a patient? Let go of me, doctor, let go!"
As a man, how could the barefoot doctor mistake that gaze? Kicking at the doctorâs knee, "Who told you the patient is my lady? The patient is inside! Behave and diagnose, or Iâll slit your throat."
Saying this, he placed the knife on the doctorâs shoulder.
"Yes, yes!"
Seeing these people, each like the king of hell, the barefoot doctor dared not act recklessly and obediently went in to take the pulse.
Meanwhile, the proprietress took the opportunity to ask Yang Chuxia how long she planned to stay.
"What, are you afraid this lady canât afford your room charge?"
"Oh, no, madam, youâre quite the jokester." Yang Chuxiaâs gaze was so sharp; it seemed to see through her thoughts, making the proprietress feel awkward.
