Chapter 277: Chapter 277: What a Cold-Blooded Woman!

”Not normal, where is it not normal?”

Qin Tian looked at Mu Yunxi with a chuckle.

”It’s like a den of thieves,” Mu Yunxi said.

”Heh, a den of thieves? When night falls, aren’t all places shrouded in darkness?” Qin Tian said, munching on a ham sausage he had taken from the cart. Mu Yunxi, seeing this, shook her head silently.

Indeed, Qin Tian had sensed something was off the moment they entered the inn.

However, in such a remote place, all he needed to do was stay alert. Qin Tian didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention.

His mission was to kill Du Tianxie, and that was all he needed to do. Once he returned, he had to consider the reconstruction of Dragon Soul; he didn’t want any complications.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunxi also seemed to have noticed something odd about this desolate mountain inn.

”Hmph, you noticed it long ago, didn’t you?” Mu Yunxi said, her gaze sharply fixed on Qin Tian.

”Do you think you’re a worm in my stomach, knowing everything I think?” Qin Tian laughed.

Before Mu Yunxi could speak, Qin Tian quickly stepped in front of her and asked, ”Then tell me, what am I thinking right now?”

”You’re thinking about trash!”

”Ouch, my thoughts are actually about you, and you’re calling yourself trash?”

”...”

”Don’t get violent!”

Seeing that Mu Yunxi was about to resort to violence after losing the verbal spat, Qin Tian promptly dodged to the side and said, ”Gentlemen use their words, not their fists. Although you’re a woman, I must say, I really don’t see you as one.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

This time, Mu Yunxi was so infuriated she couldn’t hold back. She swung her fists at Qin Tian, who quickly dodged, but Mu Yunxi pressed on relentlessly, seemingly angered enough to give Qin Tian a thorough trouncing.

Just as the two were caught up in their scuffle and unable to stop, there was a knock on the door from outside the room.

”Are the two of you there? Dinner is ready. Will you be coming down to the dining hall, or shall we bring it up to you?” A man’s voice inquired.

Hearing the voice from outside, Qin Tian and Mu Yunxi simultaneously ceased their actions.

Mu Yunxi looked toward Qin Tian, who said, ”Bring it up here, we’ll eat in the room.”

Soon after, the man knocked on the door. As Qin Tian opened it, he saw another man holding a platter, with the food all on it, entering in single file and placing the items on the small table inside the room.

”Please enjoy your meal. Let me know when you’re finished, and I’ll come to clear the dishes.”

The man with small eyes gave Mu Yunxi a sly glance, smiled, and then left with the other man, closing the door behind them.

After the two men had left the room, Mu Yunxi immediately locked the door from inside, then walked over to Qin Tian and whispered, ”I don’t trust this food. Don’t eat it.”

Qin Tian, on the other hand, laughed heartily and exclaimed loudly, ”Wow, this looks delicious! Let’s eat quickly. Who would have thought that there would be such tasty food in this wilderness? Ha-ha, I’m starving, let’s dig in!”

As he spoke, Qin Tian picked up the chopsticks beside the bowl and lightly tapped the rim of the bowl. Then he pretended to eat ravenously but in reality, he was dumping the food on the table into a plastic bag.

Mu Yunxi looked at Tian Qi’s actions, first frowning, and then, feeling a slight commotion outside the room, she instantly understood.

Qin Tian acted as if he were eating and drinking heartily, which was a show for the people outside in the inn!

This scoundrel had known all along that this inn was out of the ordinary, he just had never made a sound about it!

Remembering how he had even pretended in front of her that he knew nothing, Mu Yunxi couldn’t help but frown, thinking to herself that this scoundrel was quite cunning.

While pretending to eat his meal heartily, Qin Tian was actually carelessly dumping the food into a bag.

Outside the room, the two men who had brought in the meal heard the sounds of Qin Tian enjoying his food and looked at each other with a smile, then turned and left downstairs.

Mu Yunxi and Qin Tian both had strong Sensing Power; as soon as the two men left, Mu Yunxi said, ”All right, they’re gone, you can stop pretending now.”

Qin Tian sealed the plastic bag and then walked to the window, where he abruptly threw the plastic bag filled with food into the forest behind.

Mu Yunxi watched Qin Tian’s actions and said coldly, ”These people are nothing but criminals, what’s the use of your acting? You might as well just kill them outright to be done with it!”

Qin Tian clicked his tongue, thinking, This lady really considers killing people as easy as slaughtering pigs, huh? So simple?

”We first need to figure out who they are and what they want. There’s an inn in such a remote place, and I don’t think it’s just a common den of thieves. Ordinary dens of thieves just steal things or rob people of their possessions, but this one, they’re drugging the food, they must have some unusual purpose.”

In fact, as soon as Qin Tian had smelled the food, he had sensed that there was something amiss with it, and furthermore, the power of the drug was strong, seemingly intending to completely subdue both him and Mu Yunxi!

”Our purpose is not to deal with them; why bother with these detours? If the well water does not disturb the river water, they would hardly dare to provoke us,” Mu Yunxi said confidently.

Indeed, whether it was Mu Yunxi’s martial skills or Qin Tian’s, if ordinary petty thieves dared to provoke them, it would simply be suicidal.

”Didn’t you see that there are more than a dozen backpackers staying in this inn? The people here wouldn’t have acted only against us; they must have also targeted that group.”

Qin Tian said, ”Since we’ve discovered it, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”

”What does their death have to do with me?” Mu Yunxi said disdainfully.

”You really are a cold-hearted woman, aren’t you? The lives of others are still lives. If we’ve come across this and we have the power to save them, why shouldn’t we help? In the future, there might also be times when you need someone else’s help.”

Hearing what Mu Yunxi had said, Qin Tian was speechless. Didn’t this woman have any intention of promoting the Chinese tradition of ’acting bravely for a just cause’?

”Hmph, if you want to save them, then save them. I, Mu Yunxi, neither need anyone to save me nor will I save anyone else’s life. Even if they died before my eyes, it would be their own fault! Survival of the fittest, the weak, only have oppression in store for them!”

”Hiss...”

Mu Yunxi’s stance gave Qin Tian quite a shock; he wanted to say something, but then he suddenly remembered that Mu Yunxi was a former top-level Assassin!

It was not surprising then. Assassins were often trained from a young age in various skills, especially to be emotionally detached, and Mu Yunxi exemplified an Assassin’s callousness to perfection.

”Fine, very well!”

Qin Tian nodded, ”You don’t want to save them, so you don’t save them. I will! Later tonight, you just stay in the room, don’t worry about anything. I’ll take care of it, alright?”

The two ended their conversation on somewhat bad terms, and Qin Tian went out to call the two men to come up and clean up the food and take it downstairs.

The two men saw that Qin Tian and Mu Yunxi had nearly finished their meal and smiled at each other. In their eyes, a connivingly successful plot emerged simultaneously.
