Chapter 3974 – Good News

After Yang Kai worked for half a day, he realised that both the Proprietress and Bai Qi were nowhere in sight. Curious about where they were, he went to the counter and asked the accountant about it, “Where are Proprietress and Old Bai?”

The accountant took a glance at him and quickly looked away, “There’s something they have to do.”

Yang Kai knit his brow before nodding and going back to work.

Meanwhile, across from a particular inn in the Star City, Bai Qi was seated by the window on the second floor of a teahouse. There was a pot of tea and plates of fruits on the table. As he drank tea and ate fruits, he stared fixedly at the inn that was across the street.

In fact, he had been keeping watch here for a few days now. This was a task assigned to him by the Proprietress, so he wouldn’t dare to slack off.

Right then, three people stepped out of the inn. They were a young man, a middle-aged man, and an elderly man. Presently, the elderly man was leading the way for them while the middle-aged man was supporting the young man’s weight. The young man’s pale face suggested that he had been severely injured, and there was a trace of blood on his back. Besides him, the middle-aged man and the elderly man seemed to be injured as well.

After looking around, they shot into the air and headed to the Star City’s dock.

Bai Qi stared in the direction they left with a conflicted gaze and only a long time later did he let out a long sigh and fished out a Communication Artifact. Upon pushing his Divine Sense, he sent out a message.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the void outside the Spirit Province where the Star City was located, an alluring woman abruptly opened her eyes. Her gaze appeared so cold that it was as though it could even freeze space itself.

This woman was none other than the First Inn Proprietress.

Time seemed to tick by slowly, but just a moment later, a ship artifact flew over and came into her sight. The ship was moving in the direction she was standing.

Seeing that, the Proprietress clenched her fists as her knuckles cracked.

When the ship was close enough, she suddenly pushed out a fist, whereupon a dazzling light expanded and made the world turn pale.

Following her attack, the ship, which was still several dozen kilometres away from her, cracked and exploded.

Three battered figures emerged from the broken ship and an old voice was heard bellowing, “Who dares!”
