Tavern's lady boss

Rumble~

Darkness enveloped Maple town as the previously clear sky was slowly occupied by dark clouds. Visible confusion could be seen on the faces of the people as they scurried to find immediate shelter against the impending rain. In an alleyway, Lui Jian had his eyes closed as he maintained a lotus position. Looking closely one could see water vapors emerging from the ground as they formed bubbles that encircled him. Time passed and as Lui Jian opened his eyes the rain already soaked his body wet as even his bamboo hat couldn't stop the water from seeping into them.

Seeing the system prompt, Lui Jian nodded in satisfaction before shifting his focus to the sky. He left the alleyway and walked unhurriedly to the west side of the town. Along the way, Lui Jian came across a tree with visible sword marks on them. Without saying a word, he took out a longsword and swung it on the tree bark. Once, twice, ten times, a hundred, a thousand-

Crack~

The longsword split into two just as Lui Jian delivered his final strike. His eyes were turbid as he maintained his posture of swinging a sword despite the howling of the wind. It didn't take long for Lui Jian's eyes to regain clarity as he noticed a screen with golden borders that appeared in front of him some time ago.

Living beings across the Lower Realm raised their heads at the sky as they observe the ongoing phenomena. Casual players marveled at the scene while the elites and pros hurry along with what they were doing. Organizations, gaming companies, guilds, and other player factions sent their sincere congratulations to each other.

Lui Jian didn't care about the impact of his actions as he was currently sitting in a lotus position. Strands of qi cycled over his body as he felt his defenses improve. However, that didn't cause any negative impact on his skin as they instead become more elastic and white.

Lui Jian patted the nonexistent dust on his butt as he continued towards his destination. At this time, houses on both sides of the streets had their lights turned off as people locked their doors in preparation for sleep. Contrary to that, the West side of the town is still bustling with noise as the sounds of people having the time of their life echo from every establishment. Lui Jian stopped in front of a magnificently built tavern as he watched its patrons come and go.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, Lui Jian observed a figure busying herself with serving the customers. She had tanned skin, yellow eyes with blonde hair. The uniform she wore did nothing to hide her plump figure as the eyes of everyone were on her. Moreover, she also exudes the unique aura of a mature woman that men found irresistible. However, the customers only had respect and adoration for her. Some unruly customers were dealt with by the tavern's patron and the lady boss thanked them with a smile making those tough men giggle like a teenager in love with their hands on the back of their heads as the eyes of other patrons were filled with envy and self-reproach. If only they made a move first! Soon, the tavern's customers left one by one followed by the tavern's other employees. When Lui Jian pushed the doors of the tavern he saw the lady boss behind the counter accounting for today's earnings.

She spoke without raising her head "My apologies, the tavern's already closed"

"Isn't a tavern supposed to have accommodations for travelers?" Lui Jian replied as he shook off the water on his clothes.

The lady boss answered, "Our tavern only serves beverages, dear sir."

"Can I at least stay for the night?" Lui Jian continued with a troubled tone.

The Lady boss shook her head "My apologies but I can't do that either."

"Don't worry I'm okay with sleeping here at the store. I won't disturb you I promise! I just don't want to spend the night outside" Lui Jian hurriedly declared as he raised his right hand to make a promising sign.

Hearing those words, the lady boss gently raises her head as she finally shifted her attention to Lui Jian. She felt that his words were familiar so she couldn't help tilting her head as she smiled "You could have chosen to sleep with a charming lady like me but you choose to be around bottles of alcohol instead?"

Seeing the lady boss smile made Lui Jian's heart skip a beat. Forcefully calming his raging emotions, he shook his head as he waved his hands in a flurry "Y-y-you must be kidding lady boss, even though you are beautiful and you're also my type it doesn't mean that I wanna sleep with you" Lui Jian's shoulders slumped after saying that. By now his hands were on the doorknob as he prepared to leave "After all men must also learn to protect themselves when they are outside."

Rumble~

The expression of the lady boss froze as her glazed eyes reflected light. Many years ago Maple Town was also ravaged by a storm. However, like today the tavern continued its operation as usual. She recalled a stranger asking her for a place to sleep that night, she rejected just like today but she didn't expect the stranger to use the excuse of being afraid of the dark to pester her. In the end, she agreed to the man's request after he said something with an earnest face and righteous tone that made her genuinely laugh.

"Men must also learn to protect themselves when they are outside!!"

She didn't know what had gone to her after that as she remembered sharing a passionate night with a man she barely knew. When she woke up she found a letter on the nightstand stating how sorry the man was and that he already had a companion at that time. However, despite the revelation, she didn't give up on finding the man that took her heart along with her chastity on that passionate night.
