110: Chapter 110: The Rose Opera House (XI)

Mo Yu shifted her gaze to the incoming Guest.

Watching Qianye's attitude, it seemed related to it.

Qianye happily sent the Guest off, humming a little tune.

After that scene with Qianye, the people behind also began to struggle with whether they should head toward the door.

After all, not everyone had Qianye's fearless personality.

Those "Guests" were all abnormal; it was really a bit hard to handle.

Soon, the next Guest arrived. This Guest looked to be about one and a half meters tall, with a huge mouth—three times the length of a human mouth—and three eyes growing in a row above its nose.

Qianye was still at the counter fiddling with a flower pot, seemingly not seeing that a new Guest had arrived.

Seeing this, Liu Ran looked at the Guest at the door, gritted her teeth, and rushed over.

Her sudden appearance startled the Guest, who whipped its head around to stare at her, its eyes filled with malice.

Only then did Liu Ran see its full appearance clearly. Her scalp went numb instantly, and she averted her gaze when meeting those three eyes.

"Res—respected Guest, welcome. Do, do you have any..."

"Ah..."

Following that,

with an "Awoo..." sound, the Guest suddenly grew agitated, its entire body abruptly surged in height, and it opened its massive mouth, swallowing half of Liu Ran whole.

Even her cry of surprise was swallowed directly.

The players behind widened their eyes and covered their mouths. It—it had actually eaten Liu Ran.

They hadn't even had time to react.

It was too sudden.

She had clearly said almost the same thing as Qianye!

Why?

The urge to step forward vanished instantly.

Once the Guest was full and even let out a satisfied burp, Qianye finally approached gracefully.

She arrived elegantly beside the Guest and first performed a simple courtesy.

"Distinguished Guest, is there anything else you need?"

"I am willing to resolve it for you."

"No... need... anymore..."

"I... was... looking... for... the... dining... hall..."

"Just... so... happened... that... food... walked... right... in..."

"Al...ready... re...solved."

The speed at which the Guest spoke could be imagined like Flash from the anime; every word was like playing at double slow motion.

After it finished speaking, the players behind looked at each other, not expecting this to be the reason.

Liu Ran...

For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Just as Qianye sent the Guest out, "tap, tap," "tap, tap" sounds suddenly came from upstairs.

Sometimes far, sometimes near.

It kept lingering right above their heads.

"What is coming out now?" Hermione subconsciously moved closer to the three male players, trying to find some sense of security.

Qianye's gaze was fixed on the staircase connecting to the second floor, the sound getting closer and closer to the stairs.

"Who is it?"

"Trespassing into this mistress's shop without permission!"

The "tap, tap" sound of high heels, mixed with a furious voice, came from the stairs.

A woman wearing a crimson qipao came down from upstairs; the sound of those high heels felt as if it were stomping on their hearts.

The footsteps matched the frequency of their heartbeats, and suddenly, pressure descended upon them.

Mo Yu clenched her fists, staring at the person who had appeared suddenly, ready at all times.

While they were all highly tense, Qianye suddenly fluttered toward her like a little butterfly.

Then, standing still beside her, she said, "Madam Shopkeeper, I just sent off two happy Guests!"

The NPC before them stared at Qianye with a gloomy expression, her face changing repeatedly as she looked at the cards hanging on Qianye.

Seeing no reaction, Qianye tilted her head, looking innocent. "Won't the Shopkeeper give me any reward?"

The NPC stared at her with a puzzled gaze.

Qianye pointed righteously at the players behind. "Look, these are all Guests I brought in."

After she finished speaking, the NPC swept a sharp gaze around the surroundings, looking at the people in the shop, and her eyes softened slightly.

Seeing her expression soften, Qianye curled the corners of her lips.

"Then Madam Shopkeeper, can I ask for my reward now~"

Madam Shopkeeper's expression immediately returned to gloom, staring fixedly at Qianye.

"From now on, you are fired!"

Qianye blinked, not panicked in the slightest.

"Eh, why?" She wore an utterly innocent expression.

The NPC sneered, "I am the Shopkeeper."

Following that sentence, the clothes throughout the shop suddenly became restless, as if cheering for her.

This scene made the surrounding players' scalps numb; these clothes were actually alive!

Emboldened by the Shopkeeper, those clothes became unscrupulous, dancing wildly among Mo Yu and the others.

Just waiting for the Shopkeeper's order, they could devour the humans before them.

Seeing their movements, Qianye finally restrained her smile, stared at the NPC, and even clapped "pa, pa, pa."

"Hee hee~"

"That sounds so domineering~"

"I like it~"

"Why don't you give your position as Shopkeeper to me~"

As soon as Qianye said this, An Xuan's heart went cold.

Big brother, at a time like this, why are you still provoking it?

Sure enough, the Shopkeeper's expression changed instantly.

"You are truly audacious!"

Following her words, the clothes throughout the shop bared fangs and brandished claws, circling around Qianye.

"Kill her!"

Instantly, all the clothes flew toward Qianye—long or short, wide or narrow, regardless of size, all headed toward her.

Qianye unhurriedly took out her hong ling umbrella while muttering to herself.

"Hmm, if you won't give it, then don't. Sigh, I didn't sign a contract with you, and now I'm suddenly fired like this; there's nowhere to reason with."

"Not good, not good."

As Qianye muttered here,

Mo Yu, seeing the situation, flashed to Qianye's side and gripped her weapon tightly.

The remaining players, seeing this, also came to Qianye's side.

This surprised Qianye; it was a situation she hadn't expected.

Instantly, the battle curtain rose, and both sides were immediately locked in combat.

Qianye carried the hong ling umbrella, weaving through these clothes unhurriedly.

Her hands were in constant motion.

As she approached the Shopkeeper, that NPC also transformed into a giant qipao and attacked Qianye.

On that crimson qipao, a layer of faint black mist lingered.

A moment later

——

Qianye held the card in her hand, staring at the Shopkeeper beneath her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Hee hee... truly now, wouldn't it have been better if you'd just given it to me earlier."

"Look at this, the clothes are all torn; not good, not good..."

Qianye shook her head.

The NPC on the ground struggled but couldn't get up; Qianye sat directly on her.

Qianye stared at the Shopkeeper card in her hand, looking at the NPC beneath her with curved eyes.

"Hmm, I'm not like you, so heartless and cold."

"I'm still going to leave you a way to survive~"

Qianye took out another Maid card and dangled it in front of her.

The NPC appeared exceptionally quiet, not saying a word, with an indifferent expression.

Qianye continued, "Hmm, how could this Maid card suit you?"

"Hmm, found another one!"

The card Qianye pulled out next was her own black card.

This hinted that it would become the most shining existence at the banquet.

She held the card and moved it bit by bit toward the NPC.
