After leaving Tianjiazhuang, Yunyan deliberately concealed his whereabouts because he didn't want to create more complications.
Of course, when he passed other villages and forces along the way, he deliberately investigated the local situation.
On the one hand, he did this to verify the information he had obtained about the mission, and on the other hand, he also wanted to grasp the changing patterns of celestial phenomena on the Night Continent as soon as possible, because these were very important to whether he could cooperate with Jackal to successfully complete the mission.
After three days of travel, Yunyan has entered the Holy Fire Territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Holy Fire Sect.
He found that this place was obviously much more prosperous than remote places, and most cities were brightly lit all night long.
However, distinguishing between day and night is of little significance in the Night Continent, because people have become accustomed to darkness.
Through observing Yunyan, we found that people on this continent always choose more straightforward methods when dealing with problems.
For example, when two people have a quarrel, they generally will not try their best to resolve the conflict, but will directly choose to duel in the dark.
It seems that the dark environment invisibly amplifies the evil in human nature. Therefore, since it is a duel, it must be divided into life and death. Otherwise, it can only be called a fight.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yunyan tried to keep a low profile.
However, even so, he was unlucky enough to run into some inexplicable troubles.
"Boy, where are you from?"
Yun Yan looked up and found a fat man standing in front of him. To say he was fat was a polite way of saying it, because this fat man looked like he could hold up three or four adults.
Yun Yan didn't know where she offended him, and why the fat man glared at him as soon as he came up, as if he had teased his mother.
However, this fat man just didn't like Yunyan.
Because from the moment he entered this inn, to the time he ordered wine and food, and then ate slowly in front of the window, everything seemed like he was deliberately seducing his wife.
That's right, there was a woman beside the fat man, but because the fat man was too fat, if he didn't pay enough attention, he would really think that his wife was one of the fat man's arms.
Seeing that Yun Yan didn't dare to say anything for a while, the fat man raised his arm as thick as a thigh and slapped it on the dining table.
Suddenly, the two plates of side dishes and a jug of wine in front of Yun Yan flew into the sky at the same time. Fortunately, he had quick eyes and quick hands and caught both the food and the jug in his arms.
"I'm from out of town, Fat...Uncle, have I offended you in any way? If so, I apologize to you. We each have our own food. The food in this inn is pretty good, right? .”
When the fat man saw Yun Yan's playful smile, he pointed at the woman beside him and said angrily to Yun Yan.
"My wife hasn't blinked since you walked in the door, and you know that I'm about to explode, but you're still here staring at two plates of food. I think you just want to seduce my little baby!"
"Baby? Uh...I'm sorry, sir, I thought she was your mother."
Yun Yan saw that the woman next to the fat man was short in stature, with a wrinkled face and yellow complexion. Although she was not ugly, she must be at least thirty or forty years old.
How could he associate this unflattering old woman with the word "little baby"?
This is obviously forcing someone to do something difficult.
Yun Yan tried his best to remain polite, because he could hardly hold it in any longer.
But when Fatty saw Yun Yan wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, he became even more annoyed.
"Are you tired of living? How dare you humiliate my little baby in front of me? Do you know that my little baby is already angry now, so I want to make you a meat pie and give it to me. My little baby will have extra food in the evening."
Hearing this, the few people in the inn also ran away quickly, because they didn't want to wait until the cook took action and took them along to make meat patties.
It turns out that this fat man is a frightened cook, but his reputation is too much for Yun Yan, who has just arrived here.
It has no deterrent effect at all.
Because just now Yun Yan thought the woman next to him was the mother of a cook.
However, at this moment, the woman next to the cook spoke.
"How can I be angry? Also, Fatty, when did we get married? Please stop talking nonsense."
Hearing this woman's voice, Yun Yan was stunned on the spot.
Then, with a "bang" sound, the wine bottle in Yun Yan's hand fell to the ground, but she saw him smiling awkwardly.
"Yeah...sorry, my hand slipped."
"Hey, little brother, you are so cute. Are you so surprised by my charming appearance that you are speechless?"
"Charm? Well, you lunatic really makes me speechless."
Yun Yan never dreamed that this old woman was born with such a beautiful voice. If she closed her eyes and listened only to the voice, she would definitely think that she must be a young girl in her 28s.
This really corresponds to the saying, God accidentally closed a window for you, but it helped you tear down the entire wall.
"Hehe, let me tell you, little brother must be the most tasteful. Although you look a little weak, from the first time I saw you, I..."
"I just want to make you into a meatloaf!"
The chef finally couldn't stand listening anymore. He couldn't just watch Yun Yan put a hat on him that was not the right color.
"I said, Er Niang, can we get down to business? I haven't eaten human flesh for several days, and you haven't had such fresh human bones in the furnace for elixirs for a long time. Can't you be more relaxed and ask this kid to come to us quickly? Do you want to go into your stomach?"
Yun Yan finally understood after hearing this. It turned out that this old woman was really the mother of a fat man, so he said with a long face.
"First of all, you want to eat me, but you don't discuss it with me. I haven't agreed yet. You are just dreaming here. I think you should just eat shit.
Secondly, you damn fat man, I still treat you as a human being, but it turns out that you are worse than an animal, because even an animal would not treat its own mother as a baby. "
When the chef heard this, he was furious. Veins appeared on his thick arms. This was really hard for him.
However, the old woman reached out and gently touched the cook's arm, temporarily calming his anger.
"I'm telling you, Fatty, calm down first. It's not too late to take action after I explain it to my little brother."
"Is there anything else to explain? This kid is not a good guy at first glance. Wait until he gets into our stomachs and then you can explain to him slowly."
"How can he still hear it?"
The woman glared at the fat man, but the cook immediately calmed down. It seemed that the fat man was really an obedient and good son.
Then, the woman smiled at Yun Yan again.
"Little brother, don't get me wrong. Although we do want to eat you, it's also because you are too beautiful. Because I have lived for one hundred and forty years and I have never seen someone more beautiful than you. The man who makes my heart flutter."
"snort!"
The chef snorted to express his dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to interrupt the woman.
Yun Yan put the two plates of side dishes in her arms back on the table and smiled.
"Then what?"
The woman replied happily upon seeing this.
"Then, although I, Erniang Ye, am really this fat boy's mother, we are not related by blood because I am the concubine of his damn father.
But God's will is a trick. I, a weak woman, was snatched away by his dead father in an eight-carat sedan more than 120 years ago. Before I could have sex, he himself died.
Think about it, I am a young lady who has been a widow for 120 years, how can I not feel lonely? "
"So, you got together with this fat guy?"
Yun Yan asked seriously.
Ye Erniang was not angry at all. On the contrary, the cook's face turned green with anger, but Ye Erniang pretended not to see anything.
"Yes, little brother, you are still young and cannot understand the hardship of being lonely in a boudoir. It's just that I, Ye Erniang, am born with a character that refuses to admit defeat.
Although I don't have such outstanding cultivation qualifications as Fatty, fortunately, I have an extraordinary talent for alchemy and medicine.
Therefore, over the years, we have accumulated a lot of wealth. You see, this entire inn belongs to me. It is not an easy task to open such an inn outside the Holy Fire Territory. "
After hearing what Ye Erniang said, Yun Yan was still confused. He didn't know what this old woman wanted to do.
But what surprised him was that Ye Erniang, who ran a black shop, didn't seem to intend to duel with him, which saved Yun Yan a lot of trouble.
Because if he kills this fat man, it will definitely cause quite a stir, and this is the outer boundary of the Holy Fire Sect, and he doesn't want to be noticed so soon.
So, Yun Yan slowly sat down, tilted her head and asked.
"so what?"
Seeing Yun Yan's appearance, Ye Erniang immediately beamed with joy, and walked up to Yun Yan and whispered.
"So, little brother, if you don't want to be eaten by Fatty, why not just be like him and be my good son?"
Yun Yan almost fainted when he heard this. He glared at Ye Erniang sideways and said angrily.
"I'd rather be eaten by him!"
Ye Erniang's face changed when she heard this, and she said with a hint of resentment.
"You are so incomprehensible to me. Isn't saving your life more important than obeying me?"
Yun Yan suddenly felt a little sick, so he tried not to look at Ye Erniang's face that was difficult to describe.
"I came to the Holy Fire Territory to do business, and my eldest brother is a guest in the Holy Fire Sect. If you keep entangled like this, I will be angry."
Hearing Yun Yan's words, Ye Erniang and the chef were both stunned. Then they quickly reacted and heard the chef ask sharply.
"Since your eldest brother can be a guest in the sect, he must be a reputable person, so I would like to hear who he is."
Yun Yan thought for a while and said.
"My eldest brother doesn't like publicity, so his whereabouts must be kept secret."
Ye Erniang sneered when she heard this.
"If you want to trick us into sparing your life, you should at least pretend to be so. I see the guilty look on your face, it's obvious that you are talking nonsense.
So, you should stay here with me to make elixirs and make medicines. I promise that as long as you obey me, I will not use you to make elixirs. "
The cook on the side complained somewhat unhappily after hearing this.
"Baby, are you sure you want to do this? We are still halfway to the pregnancy elixir that we will hand over this year. If you let him go, we may have to wait for a few more months."
Hearing the chef mention the pregnancy elixir, Yun Yan suddenly became interested and heard him say to Ye Erniang.
"Okay, I'll stay."
