Chapter 293 Destruction
As soon as Hu Qing activated the night pearl, dim light instantly filled the room, dispelling the previous darkness.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a clear "splash" sound suddenly came from outside the window, as if something fell into the water.
Gu Yang reacted very quickly. He rushed to the window and pushed it open. The cold wind mixed with the moisture from the river blew in his face.
On the river surface in the distance, only ripples remained, slowly spreading in the moonlight, as if mocking their incompetence.
Gu Yang narrowed his eyes, trying to catch a clue from the darkness, but there was nothing except the gradually calming waves.
"She jumped into the river." Gu Yang whispered, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Hu Qing stood behind him, his brows furrowed, his spiritual sense already spreading out, trying to lock onto the masked woman's breath.
However, the moment she entered the water, her breath seemed to be swallowed up by the river and disappeared completely without a trace.
Hu Qing's expression turned ugly. He withdrew his consciousness and said in a deep voice:
"Something's wrong. Her aura has completely disappeared, not even a trace left."
Gu Yang turned his head and looked at Hu Qing: "Even your spiritual sense can't track her? What on earth is she?"
Hu Qing shook his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "I don't know. Her aura is very strange, neither like a human nor like an ordinary monster.
That deadly aura just now, and the way she escaped, were both eerie."
The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn.
Gu Yang sighed, turned around and looked around, then noticed the tragic situation in the room.
The wall was covered with sword marks, left by the slashing he had just done;
A corner of the luxurious bed was also torn, and the bed curtains hung messily on the ground;
The tables and chairs were tilted to one side and the ground was littered with broken porcelain pieces and sawdust.
"Oh my God……"
Gu Yang covered his forehead with his hands, looking distressed. "How much money will I have to pay for this? This room should be the best on the flower boat, and now it's completely ruined."
Hu Qing ignored his complaints, his eyes fell on an inconspicuous red spot on the table.
He squatted down and gently rubbed the red spot with his fingers, and his fingertips were immediately stained with scarlet.
He put his finger to his nose and sniffed gently, and a strong fishy smell hit him in the face.
"This is blood."
Hu Qing raised his head, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, "The woman is injured."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang immediately came over and said, "Injured? Doesn't that mean we have a chance to find her?"
Hu Qing nodded, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth: "That's right. Since she was injured, there must be traces left.
When it gets light, we'll go look for the wind chime girl.
If she has wounds on her body or smells of blood, then she is the masked woman from before.
Moreover, judging from the masked woman's actions just now, she is very likely a demon beast."
"Okay." Gu Yang nodded, then looked around, holding the storage ring in his hand, his heart still ached.
The two looked at the mess on the ground and shook their heads helplessly.
It would have been fine if I hadn't cleaned it up, but once I did I discovered the problem.
The surrounding furniture and wall decorations were almost all destroyed, and the ground was littered with broken porcelain, broken wood chips, and carpets torn by claws.
The two tried to clean it up, but soon gave up - there were too many broken things and it was impossible to repair them.
"Forget it, let it be." Gu Yang sighed.
The two of them pulled out the two small beds behind the screens on both sides and barely made a place to rest.
They sat on the small bed. Although they were tired, no one wanted to sleep. The mess in the room gave them a headache.
"This room is kind of useless."
Gu Yang sighed and rubbed his temples. "Paying compensation is a small matter. The key is how to explain this mess? You can't say that we had a fight in the middle of the night, right?"
Hu Qing leaned against the headboard, closed his eyes, and said calmly, "What's there to explain? Just pay the money and leave. We don't plan to stay here long anyway."
Gu Yang laughed bitterly: "It's easy for you to say that, but the lady boss who can afford to run this flower boat is not someone you can easily mess with.
If they ask for an exorbitant price and things get out of hand, it will be difficult for us to get out of this situation.
This is still an unfamiliar place, and it’s easier to get ripped off if you’re unfamiliar with the place.”
Hu Qing opened her eyes and glanced at him: "So what are you going to do? Stay and sell yourself? Or build her a house?"
"Don't worry, what else can we do? Take a break and we'll see what happens tomorrow." Gu Yang hit Hu Qing lightly and said casually.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the bed, closed their eyes, and waited for the dawn to come.
The long dark night finally passed, and a hint of dawn appeared in the sky.
The morning in Shenshui Town was a little cool, the mist on the river surface slowly dissipated, and the flower boats gradually came back to life.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure twisted her waist and walked towards Hu Qing and Gu Yang's room.
She held two bowls of steaming seafood porridge in her hands, with a charming smile on her face and a calculating glint in her eyes.
She heard from Xiao Cui last night that these two guests were extremely generous and were obviously distinguished guests from a wealthy city.
As long as you serve them well, you might be able to get a few gold coins.
Thinking of this, the beauty quietly opened her collar a little, revealing a hint of fair skin.
Then she pushed open the door and said in a gentle voice, "Good morning, my two guests! I've specially brought you some fresh seafood porridge. This is a specialty of our Deepwater Town..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was stunned by the scene before her.
The room was in a mess, with claw marks all over the walls, furniture toppled over, bed curtains torn to shreds, and broken porcelain and wood chips scattered on the floor.
The two guests were sitting in the middle with their heads down, without any movement, as if they were dead.
Her hand shook, and two bowls of piping hot seafood porridge fell to the ground with a bang.
The boiling porridge splashed all over the floor, and the hot steam filled the air with the sweet smell of seafood.
Gu Yang and Hu Qing opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes shooting towards the beauty at the door like lightning.
The beauty trembled at their gazes, and forced herself to smile calmly.
"Two, two gentlemen, this...what's going on?"
Gu Yang stood up with a smile on his face:
"Ah, well... we drank too much last night and accidentally got into a small argument, which resulted in the room being messed up like this. I'm so sorry."
The beauty obviously didn't believe his words, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just stepped back quickly, saying as she did so:
"Please wait a moment, my dear guests. I'll call the proprietress to handle it..."
After saying that, she turned and walked away quickly, her steps so hurried that she almost ran.
As she walked, she muttered softly, "Something bad happened to Mom! The guests on the third floor smashed the room!"
Gu Yang and Hu Qing looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
