The Pretty Stewardess

"Please take care, distinguished guest." Zhou Xinran's gentle and soothing voice rang out from the Chongming Small Pavilion her guest.

The pretty young woman escorted the customer to the door, and only after the customer's figure disappeared from sight did she walk back behind the counter and skillfully record the accounts on the Jade Slip.

"Phew, a big customer has arrived! We've sold three and a half bottles of Qi Condensation Pill. We can earn a bit more this month." A moment later, Zhou Xinran closed the ledger, a smile on her face carrying the unique clarity of a young girl.

This is her third month working as a steward at the Chongming Small Pavilion. She was only asked to temporarily look after the place for a few days because the elders in the clan were all unavailable.

Unexpectedly, since she came to the Chongming Small Pavilion, the business there has become increasingly prosperous, which is probably because so many shops have hired beautiful female stewards.

Moreover, Zhou Xinran indeed have some talent in the business of commerce, having inherited some of her father's cunning.

"Sister Zhou," the curtain rustled, and a scantily clad, strikingly beautiful female cultivator entered the shop.

Upon Zhou Xinran frowned almost imperceptibly for a moment, then smiled and said warmly, "Sister, what brings you here today? You didn't even give me a heads-up. I didn't even prepare any fruit or snacks."

Upon hearing this, the Lady Chong's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

She smiled outwardly, but inwardly she thought, "Your family runs a restaurant, how come you don't even have some fruit or snacks? You really learn from the good people; everyone in the Chongming Sect is so stingy."

Fortunately, she wasn't there for those few plates of cheap snacks this time. She said warmly, "Sister, is your Uncle Yuan healed yet? Has my Law Artifact been repaired?"

"Oh, it's fixed. Uncle Yuan was worried that you'd be anxious waiting, so he had my junior brother deliver it to you a few days ago. Please take a look, sister." Zhou Xinran said, taking out a red silk magic Law Artifact from a brocade box and handing it to Lady Chong.

The latter took it somewhat hastily, examined it carefully, and then smiled, saying, "Master Yuan truly lives up to his reputation as a renowned artifact craftsman in our area. My Law Artifact doesn't look like it's been severely damaged at all; it's probably even better than before."

Zhou Xinran smiled at the praise from the Lady Chong. She knew that Yuan Jin's skill in weapon crafting was not worthy of such high praise. It was all just empty flattery; she could only listen to such nice words and not take them seriously.

After paying with Spirit Stone and putting away the magical Law Artifact, the Lady Chong asked mysteriously, "Sister Zhou, is your sect leader still injured?"

"What brings you to this, sister?" Zhou Xinran was visibly taken aback when she heard the Lady Chong's question before replying, "Our sect leader has already fully recovered. With Martial Uncle Jiang guarding our territory, no matter how badly our sect leader is injured, it's enough to deter any villains. There's no need for our sect leader to resort to any deceptive tactics."

"That's true," Lady Chong nodded. Her good brother from Zi Maple Valley had previously said that Jiang Qing was a formidable figure.

To receive such high praise from True Disciple of Foundation Establishment sect, Jiang Qing must be someone of importance in Pingrong County.

"What a pity. One of my close sisters from the Mandarin Duck Hall has returned from her travels. She is very skilled in dual cultivation, and I was originally planning to introduce her to Sect Leader Kang for healing. Many of our ancestors in the Grass Witch Cult have left behind experience, all saying that dual cultivation for healing is the most effective way to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Lady Chong sighed. She was shameless by nature and could talk about such things without batting an eye, Zhou Xinran were not yet of marriageable age.

No matter how experienced Zhou Xinran just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. Hearing such words, she found it hard to believe, and two pretty blushes immediately appeared on her face.

"Sister Zhou, I went to see the spirit fish that the Kuai Household caught and sold today. They weren't very fat, and they hadn't reached the next level, so I didn't buy any. But there were a pair of old turtles..." The young man who entered saw the Lady Chong in the hall, and his smile suddenly froze, "Lady Chong, greetings."

"Lun-ge'er is still so distant," Lady Chong's voice became a little cloying, her eyes slightly upturned, as if she had seen an interesting toy.

She tossed two strands of black hair that hung down in front of her back, revealing a glimpse of her full, white breasts. She exaggeratedly swayed her firm, plump buttocks as she moved towards Jin Shilun. "Speaking so seriously hurts my feelings the most."

"Ha, Sister Zhou, I'm going to the kitchen now. Just call me if you need anything." Jin Shilun shouted in fright, then fled into the kitchen as fast as he could.

After he entered the Daoist path, the situation became less tense, so Kang Dabao asked Han Yundao and Duan Anle to accompany him to the village of Gust of Wind.

Even when faced with hundreds or thousands of bandits rushing towards him, the young hero remained unfazed.

Surrounded by bandits, the three men worked together to kill the bandit leader. They then cut off the big toes of the remaining henchmen and took them back to Chongming City, where Kang Dahou sold them to wealthy families to serve as servants and stewards.

Jin Shilun arrived at the Chongming Small Pavilion half a month ago to fill in for the cook who had taken a few days off. He was genuinely shocked by the unconventional behavior of the Lady Chong.

This woman is anything but ordinary; if she gets into a conversation with you, she might just start touching your crotch without warning, which is sure to scare you.

"Sister, don't tease him anymore." Even Zhou Xinran was secretly astonished by the sight of the mature Lady Chong's body, and inexplicably felt her mouth go dry.

"Heh, little sister, you still think of him as a child? Let me tell you, young people this age have nothing but filthy thoughts in their heads, you just don't know it," the Lady Chong chuckled again.

"Sister, please stop talking about these things." Seeing that Zhou Xinran was really struggling to keep up, Lady Chong found it amusing and was about to say something even more risqué when a customer came down from the second floor to pay the bill, interrupting her. Zhou Xinran breathe a sigh of relief and extricate herself from the situation.

After finally seeing Lady Chong off, Zhou Xinran stood at the door and let out a sigh of relief. "It's just as the sect leader said; it's really not easy for a woman to do business well."

A short figure pushed a boy in a wheelchair past the door. Zhou Xinran greeted them happily, "Fellow Daoist Ye, Sister Ling'er."

Ye Pinglin returned the greeting with clasped hands. "Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Ye Yaoling, standing behind him, smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Zhou."

"How are you feeling today, fellow Daoist?" Zhou Xinran inquired about Ye Pinglin's injuries. Before the latter, who was in a wheelchair, could reply, Ye Yaoling interjected, "Third Brother said he felt a bit better today, so I pushed him out for a walk."

Zhou Xinran hearing Ye Yaoling's words, as she knew how serious Ye Pinglin's injuries were.

When Kang Dabao and his group brought this young family head back four months ago, he was already almost lifeless.

It was only after the elders invited Chen Yu Alchemist in Pingrong County, to help him, and spent a considerable amount of Spirit Stone to recuperate for many days, that he was able to save his life.

Although he survived, Alchemist Chen Yu Yudan had already stated frankly that Ye Pinglin's meridians and internal organs were severely damaged, completely destroying the foundation of his cultivation.

Perhaps with another seven or eight years of dedicated recuperation, he might regain mobility, but there will be no hope for Dao Path.

The elders all felt sorry for the young man and sighed for his good fortune, but human strength is limited and there was nothing they could do but try to make up for it in other ways.

As a result, Ye Pinglin's younger brother Ye Pingshui, was taken in by Yuan Jin as a weapon-refining disciple, and Ye Yaoling was a likable girl who would most likely marry into the Chongming Sect in the future.

"His younger siblings have found someone to rely on, so perhaps he's actually happy inside." Zhou Xinran looked at the pale-faced boy in front of her. He had a faint smile on his face, seemingly unaffected by his fate, revealing a maturity beyond his years.
