Chapter 1623: Strange Inn

She counted the time that had passed and estimated that her little uncle would be nearly three years old.

As she thought of this, she smiled: “Mother, Grandfather’s and Grandmother’s child is only this small.” She indicated using her fingers and continued speaking: “I was the one who delivered the baby too! He was so chubby and fair-skinned. He should be almost three years old now. After we return home, Mother, will you and Father have another brother or sister for me to play with?”

When Shangguan Wanrong heard this, she tapped the tip of her nose gently and said: “You child, are full of nonsense, you dare to say anything.”

“I’m being serious! I really like children, especially chubby and fair-skinned children, they are so cute. Little Uncle has an advantage over me, he is so young and I have to call him Little Uncle because of his seniority.”

Though she pouted, she was unable to hide the smile in her eyes: “When we return home this time, he should be able to speak. I will hoax him with some candy and ask him to call me Auntie.”

“Don’t fool around.” Shangguan Wanrong couldn’t help but laughed. As she looked at her, she was unable to hide the smile from her face: “What Aunty? Nonsense, that is his seniority in the family, even I have to call him Uncle.” When she finished speaking, she realised how weird that sounded too.

It was strange to call a little child Uncle.

“If that doesn’t work then he can call me elder sister, no matter what, I will make sure he calls me something. Think about it, how strange would it sound if the words little niece came out of his little mouth!”

As she said this, Feng Jiu rubbed the palms of her hands together and a cold shiver ran down her spine. Generation seniority was not fun.

As she listened to the conversation between the two of them, Leng Shuang also smiled. The warmth that flowed between her Master and Madam getting along so warmly was enviable,

On the other side, Feng Xiao who was on his way had arrived at an inn along the mountain path, there was a lantern outside the door swaying in the wind. At first, he had intended to rest at the inn, however, when he saw the unusual peacefulness of the inn, he decided to continue on his journey and rest at the next point.

Just as he had turned around and was about to leave, he heard a hoarse voice coming from behind him and the door of the inn opened at the same time.

“Since guest is here, why don’t you stay the night?”

When he turned around and looked, he saw a hunched-back old man. He used the opportunity to look through the open door and found that there was no one else inside.

“No need.” Feng Xiao said, a hint of alertness flashed across his eyes. There was no village nor shops in this place, only the inn, it was indeed strange.

Moreover, the cultivation strength of the hunched-back old man was not weak, yet he was here alone manning the inn. He felt that it would be better if he left quickly.

“Ha ha ha.” The old man laughed, his hoarse voice was unpleasant. He looked at the man outside and said: “Sir must be from out of town! That’s why you don’t know what type of place this is. Anyone who knows this path will not walk on it. Only people who are from out of town will choose to walk on this path accidentally.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiao looked at him and asked: “What happens then?”

“You need not worry Sir, old me has no malice against you.” The old man smiled and said: “Although this road is a shortcut, it is extremely dangerous. As it is dark now, I advise Sir to stay the night here and leave early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it is quite possible that you will get lost in the dark.”
