Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Novel

--- Chapter 51 ---

"Young master, are you okay?" Yu Ning'er concernedly said while looking at Yunlong, who is entering the carriage. ​​

"I'm fine. Those bandits aren't even strong enough to make me serious," Yunlong confidently responded while taking a seat in front of his sister.

"Hmph, I bet they don't even have time to react when you attacked them." Qian Renxue coldly stated, which brings out a weak smile on Yunlong's face because it's true.

Xiaoyu silently nodded her head, agreeing to Renxue's word before opening her mouth, and said, "30 seconds."

'Well, I just want to finish quickly.' Yunlong commented while inwardly shaking his head.

Yu Ning'er blinked her eyes in disbelief because she doesn't expect Renxue and Xiaoyu to be so calm.

'Are they not afraid that he might get hurt?' Yu Ning'er thought while thinking about her defeat when fighting Yunlong two years ago.

'Considering his strength and his potential growth, just how strong did he become in these two years.' She added in her heart while staring at Yunlong.

"Hmm? Is there something on my face?" Yunlong asked with a smile on his face, which caught Yu Ning'er off guard.

"Yu Ning'er?" He added while waving his hand in front of her face, but she seems in a daze and not responding.

Yu Ning'er was in a daze for a few seconds and then snapped out of it after Yunlong flicked her forehead, making her feel a little startled.

"Uugh... My forehead," Yu Ning'er whined in pain while covering her forehead.

"Why did you flick me, young master." She asked with teary eyes, which makes Yunlong lightly chuckling at her.

"Well, you are not responding for a few moments, so flick you. I didn't expect it would be so effective, though." Yunlong said in amusement.

"So, is there something on my face?" He once again asked with a playful smile on his face.

"No, there is nothing on your face, young master." Yu Ning'er calmly replied before quickly shifting her gaze away from Yunlong to hide a slight blush on her face.

Yunlong is only shaking his head when seeing his new maid's reaction, and even though her motive is still not clear enough, he knew that she doesn't have any ill intentions for him.

"There is a village a few kilometers away from us. Let's take a rest there." Yunlong instructed the driver, who is nodding his head.

The carriage is moving at a fast pace under the control of the driver. After two hours of traveling, we can see the carriage entering a village with a stone wall around it.

"Azure Mountain Village," Yunlong whispered while looking at the marble plaque on the stone gate.

'The bandit hideout should be close from this village.' Yunlong thought while observing the scenery inside of the village, which is somewhat harmonious.

'Weird, why did I feel something is off in this village.' He added while seeing a black-clothed man, who seems to be a member of the bandit group he met two hours ago.

Yunlong pondered something while tapping his finger on the chair and then said to the driver, "Find the closest inn in this village."

"Mm, okay." The driver nodded.

A few minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of a decent two-story building, the most excellent inn in this village.

"Hmm? We arrived?" Qian Renxue opened her eyes while releasing a soft yawn.

"Nope, we only take a one-night rest in this village," Yunlong replied while opening the carriage.

"Is that so?" Qian Renxue blinked her eyes as yuri suddenly jumped out of her lap toward Yunlong's shoulder.

"Mm, let's go." Yunlong nodded his head while walking out of the carriage, followed by his sister and two maids.

Four of them entered the inn while the driver is parking the carriage to the inn's side, which surprisingly had free space.

"Welcome to the azure inn~. Can I help you?" A woman in a waitress outfit politely said while bowing her body a little at them.

"We want to stay for one night." Yunlong calmly requested while observing the waitress's face, which had a slight smile on it.

"Mhm, one night. We only have one bed in each room. But, I think it should be enough for two people." The waitress stated while looking at them.

"How many rooms do you want to rent? One? Two?" She asked, which brings out a shine on Renxue's eyes.

"We want to rent two rooms!" Qian Renxue suddenly said, which makes Yunlong chuckling because he knew what his sister's plan.

"I see, two rooms." The waitress nodded her head before walking toward a stair, "Follow me."

Following the waitress to the second floor, they were welcomed with a wood corridor with four doors on each side.

The waitress leads them to the last two rooms at the end of the corridor, which doors face each other.

"Here are the rooms, and the fee for one night is 30 coppers, so it was 60 coppers for two rooms." The waitress stated, which Xiaoyu reacted by giving her a pouch of copper coins.

"Okay, call me if you need something." The waitress smiled while giving them two keys and putting the coin's pouch in her pocket.

"Hmm, Is there apart from us who stayed here?" Yunlong asked while staring at the waitress, who is shaking her head.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any customer besides four of you at the moment." The waitress responded with a dejected expression, which makes Yunlong inwardly frowning.

"Well, if you want my help, you can find me on the first floor." The waitress once again reminded before walking away from them.

"Xiaoyu, and Yu Ning'er, both of you take that room." Qian Renxue stated with a smile on her face while pointing her finger at the door on the right side.

"Yunlong and I are going to take the other room." She added while pulling her brother's hand toward the left room.

Qian Renxue instantly opened the door using the key before closing it again with a powerful slam.

Bam!

"Wait, big sister, I-!" Yunlong shouted with a helpless expression on his face because he needs to search for information about the bandit group.

"Uh, what are we gonna do now?" Yu Ning'er asked with a confused expression.

"Hey? Are you listening?" She added while turning her gaze to Xiaoyu, who is already opening the inn room.

"We're going to rest..." Chu Xiaoyu silently responded before walking into the room and leaving Yu Ning'er alone in the corridor.

'This girl!' Yu Ning'er thought with a speechless expression.

Meanwhile, in the left room, we can see Qian Renxue throwing her brother to the bed.

"Big sister, what are you doing?!" Yunlong asked with a frown on his face.

Qian Renxue smiled at him and then took out a maid outfit from her spatial ring, which confused her brother.

"Hmph, because of this mission, you are going to help me, reviewing my ability as a maid!" Qian Renxue brazenly stated.

"Huh!?" Yunlong stared at her in a daze because this is not what he anticipated.
