Wu Shattered Star River

Good Luck Inn.

This was the best inn in Dujia Town, and the Good Luck Casino was right next to it.

“Ha—”

A beautiful girl with a bun hairstyle and a pink pleated skirt yawned as she walked down from the second floor. It was the girl Jiang Han had met in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range riding a white tiger. After descending the mountain, she went straight to Dujia Town, entered the inn, and slept until now.

The first floor of the inn was a restaurant. She found a table and sat down, beckoning to the waiter: “Do you have any flower antelope meat? Bring me two catties. Get me a deep-sea sturgeon, and by the way, bring a pot of top-quality jade-carved wine…”

The girl ordered four or five dishes and a pot of good wine. The waiter was confused and blinked, saying with difficulty: “Esteemed guest, we don’t have any of the dishes you mentioned here. We are just a small place, how could we have the delicacies you speak of?”

The girl said impatiently: “Then bring me the five best-selling dishes and the best wine you have here. Only meat dishes, no vegetables!”

“Alright, esteemed guest, please wait a moment, we will arrange it for you immediately!”

The waiter was very perceptive and could tell at a glance that this young lady was not short of money, so he immediately busied himself with the arrangements.

Soon, the wine and dishes were brought to the table, and the girl grabbed a trotter that was thicker than her arm and began to gnaw on it.

Despite her delicate appearance, the girl's eating manners were not elegant at all. The way she gnawed on the trotter resembled a strong man who had been hungry for days.

Before long, most of the huge trotter had been gnawed away. The girl ate while gulping down wine.

In just a short while, half a kilogram of good wine had gone down her stomach, causing the diners next to her to secretly click their tongues. They all speculated about which family’s young lady she was, to be so bold and unrestrained…

The girl didn't care about the gazes of the surrounding diners, burying her head and eating voraciously, getting oil all over her mouth and hands. After drinking another pot of wine, her fair and delicate face turned red, making her look especially lovely.

“Wow! Something big is happening!”

“This is really incredible…”

At this moment, exclamations came from the Good Luck Casino next door. The diners here heard the commotion and their faces lit up with excitement, quickly leaving the inn and heading straight for the casino.

“So noisy!”

The girl ate for a while longer, but the casino was still noisy. She frowned and called the waiter over, saying: “What's going on over there? Why is it so noisy? It's affecting my meal.”

“Esteemed guest, I’m really sorry, but we can’t control that!”

The waiter nodded and bowed apologetically, explaining: “Next door is the Good Luck Casino. I guess that Jiang Han, the star of slaughter, has caused some big trouble again, that's why those gamblers are so excited…”

“Star of slaughter? What star of slaughter?”

The girl curled her lips, dismissively saying: “In your poor, remote little place, there can even be a star of slaughter? How many people has he killed? Who did he kill, ordinary people?”

“No, no!”

The waiter shook his head, saying seriously: “Esteemed guest, you don’t know, but this person has killed only martial artists, and many of them are experts in the ninth level of the Purple Mansion Realm. More than a hundred people were chasing him, and he killed nineteen experts in one day. It is said that the water in the stream in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range was dyed red…”

“Oh?”

A hint of surprise appeared on the girl's face. She grabbed a trotter, took a sip of wine, and said: “Tell me in detail. If you tell it well, I'll reward you with ten Xuan stones.”

“Ten Xuan stones?!”

The waiter's body trembled, thinking he had misheard. He couldn't earn two Xuan stones in a month of hard work. He swallowed hard, cleared his throat, and quickly began to vividly narrate Jiang Han's story.

People came and went in the inn, making it easy for news to spread. Moreover, there was the Good Luck Casino next door, so they could learn almost any news in the first instance.

This waiter was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of Jiang Han's matter, starting from Jiang Han's killing of Jiang Hu and others. He restored the cause and process in detail, and also exaggerated some parts appropriately, making the story as wonderful as a storytelling performance.

Two incense sticks later, the girl had eaten and drunk her fill. She wiped her hands and said with some doubt: “Jiang Hen Shui's son? Why would he slaughter his own clan? Why?”

The waiter hesitated for a moment, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: “I heard that it seems that the Third Elder of the Jiang family wanted to send Jiang Han’s younger sister to a big shot above as a concubine, and Jiang Han was forced to resist…”

“Above?”

The girl became interested and asked: “Which force’s big shot?”

The waiter showed a hesitant expression and said in a low voice: “This… I dare not say, please don’t ask.”

The girl took out ten Xuan stones from her bosom, threw them on the table, and said: “As long as you tell me, these are all yours.”

The waiter’s eyes lit up when he saw the ten Xuan stones. He quickly looked around, leaned close to the girl again, and said in a low voice: “This matter was spread from Jiangjia Town. It is said to be Lord Han Shiqi of the Cloud Dream Pavilion. I don’t know if it is true, but I heard that Lord Han will come to marry Jiang Han’s younger sister soon…”

“Han Shiqi?”

The girl's eyes flickered a few times. Surprisingly, she didn't ask any more questions this time, pointing to the Xuan stones on the table and saying: “These are all yours. Go find out what just happened and bring me a portrait of Jiang Han.”

“Thank you, Miss!”

The waiter was overjoyed, collected the Xuan stones, and immediately slipped to the casino to inquire about news.

In just a moment, the waiter returned, also bringing back a notice with Jiang Han's image on it, excitedly whispering: “The latest news has just come that Jiang Han raided Jiangjia Town, killing four people and burning down the Jiang family’s Elder Council! This is Jiang Han’s portrait.”

The girl took the portrait and glanced at it, a look of “just as I expected” on her face. She grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth, and muttered to herself: “A little interesting, huh.”

The waiter had received great benefits today, so he was naturally in a very good mood, flattering: “Miss, I know that you have an extraordinary background. Do you think Jiang Han's strange abilities are supernatural powers? I haven't heard of anyone awakening supernatural powers in the Purple Mansion Realm. Could it be… really demonic arts?”

“It’s most likely a supernatural power!”

The girl pondered for a moment and slowly said: “Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The outside world is vast and boundless, and there are all kinds of amazing geniuses emerging endlessly. Not to mention awakening supernatural powers in the Purple Mansion Realm, there are even those who are born with supernatural powers, called innate Dao embryos.”

“Demonic arts, demonic arts my foot! People who practice demonic arts, even the lowest-level martial artists can feel that sinister aura…”

“Since there is a good show to watch, then I, this young lady, will stay a few more days.”

The girl got up, stretched, threw out a few more Xuan stones, turned and walked up to the second floor.

In the room on the second floor, the girl looked out the window, snorted coldly, and murmured: “Han, you old dog, I've long heard that you are doing evil and are full of evil deeds. This time I finally have the opportunity to catch you red-handed. Let's see how you explain it to the Hall of Law Enforcement later?”
