Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 11 The Phantom Inn Opens

I took the signboard and left! The inn's opening ceremony was at 9:00 AM this morning!

I arrived at the inn early, found a ladder, climbed up, and hung up the signboard. I was admiring my masterpiece.

"Huan Yuechu, so you really were here!" I turned to look at Xu Yan, my face full of confusion. What do you mean, "So you really were here?"

Xu Yan gripped the peach wood sword in his hand tightly and said apologetically, "Didn't you say you had something to discuss with me at the Phantom Inn? But I've been looking for ages and haven't seen this inn. I was just a little excited to see you like this."

I climbed down the ladder, glared at him, and thought, "You didn't have to be so excited to scare me!"

I looked Xu Yan up and down, frowned, and said, "You've recovered well, you're discharged so quickly! Is there something you need from me?" I didn't want my good day to be disturbed.

Seeing my expression, Xu Yan sensed something was wrong. She touched her nose and whispered, "I was discharged from the hospital because nothing happened. I just came to find the Phantom Inn to see if what you said was true." After all, I had never seen this inn before, and I was afraid you were lying to me.

I breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that everything's alright. I pointed to the plaque that had just been hung up. "The Phantom Inn you're looking for is here. Perfect timing. Please light the firecrackers for me at the auspicious time later." Might as well use it.

I don't have many good friends. I'll just hang up a signboard and set off some firecrackers, and that'll be my business opening.

When the auspicious time arrived, I pulled down the red cloth on the signboard with both hands. The four large characters "Phantom Inn" were particularly eye-catching and beautiful, written in a vigorous and elegant style. The old man truly deserves to be called a craftsman. I am very satisfied with this signboard!

Instantly, the crackling sound of firecrackers echoed in the air, spreading the joyful atmosphere.

"Congratulations to Boss Huan Yuechu on your grand opening!" After the firecrackers went off, Xu Yan walked up to me, raised her eyebrows, and congratulated me.

"Thank you! But I prefer you to call me 'Boss's Wife' rather than 'Boss.' 'Boss's Wife' sounds more friendly and pleasant, and it avoids a lot of trouble. This inn is mine, and I won't allow anyone to damage it."

After all, this face is almost exactly the same as my original face. I was quite surprised at the time. She is truly stunningly beautiful, with a curvaceous figure and flawless skin.

This is still because my clothing style is relatively concealing. Society tends to assume that women who dress too revealingly work in nightclubs and have chaotic private lives.

I disagree with this idea, but I can't change it! I can only try to avoid causing trouble for myself.

Xu Yan was taken aback, not expecting me to say that. She probably didn't know we called the boss lady...

Never mind! Today is a joyous day, being happy is the most important thing.

After the opening ceremony, I looked at Xu Yan, feeling a little excited. "Xu Yan, do you need a room? We'll give you a 20% discount for our opening today. How about it? Want to consider it?"

Xu Yan felt a chill run down her spine; it was the first time she had seen Huan Yuechu like this. "P-okay," she stammered, barely able to speak.

"Then come with me! Our inn has a beautiful environment and excellent accommodations. Where else can you find such a good inn? You've hit the jackpot!" I strongly recommended the inn, saying that we might even have repeat customers!

Xu Yan forced a smile. "It's quite good."

I led Xu Yan across the courtyard, and he seemed quite apprehensive. Was I really that scary? After I helped Xu Yan check in, he immediately ran upstairs.

An exclamation mark floated above my head. So impatient? Looks like this store is pretty good.

Looking at my expression, Wu Lai wondered if he might have been scared away by me. But he didn't dare say it out loud, afraid of being humiliated.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Yan packed her things and ran off! I knew it, so I didn't stop her; she had something urgent to attend to.

I bought a rocking chair and tea set online. The customer service said it would be delivered today. Seeing other people rocking with such enjoyment on their faces, I want to experience it too. I'll also go to the supermarket to buy some snacks. Just imagining the scene makes me want to make it happen right away.

I was thinking that other things would have to be delivered, but I had to go to the supermarket. Sigh! I sighed inwardly, realizing that there were too many people around the supermarket to walk through the walls, so I had to walk there! I needed to find a way to get around.

I decided to do it right away. I grabbed my shopping basket and went to the supermarket. After walking for almost ten minutes, I arrived at the entrance of the large supermarket, stored my shopping basket there, grabbed a shopping cart, and started my big shopping spree.

You can't have tea without some melon seeds. I looked at the flavors and saw that they had original, five-spice, caramel, and so on. I'll have a serving of them all.

Potato chips are a must! Oh! Spicy strips are indispensable, sausages, chicken legs, chicken feet, cookies, candy... and soda.

Before I knew it, I had two carts full of snacks and fruit, enough to last me a long time!

Wu Lai stared at the snacks Huan Yuechu had bought, drooling with envy. Seeing Qi Qing doing the same, she immediately said with disdain, "Silly girl, you're drooling!"

Her emotions returned, and she subconsciously wiped away her drool, only to realize she'd been tricked! Her eyes widened as she glared at Wu Lai, furious and embarrassed, "Wu Lai, don't think I won't hit you!"

"With your current abilities, besides being able to control me within the Seven Emotions Bracelet space, what else can you do to me?" Wu Lai made a face at Seven Emotions, displaying an arrogant attitude of "what can you do to me?"

"Wu Lai, you just wait, one day I'll definitely beat you to the ground." Qi Qing could only stomp her feet in place. She couldn't beat him in a fight, so she could only make threats and not lose face.

Ignoring Qi Qing's harsh words, Wu Lai steered the conversation back on track, "Qi Qing, do you want some snacks?"

"I want to, but this was bought by the master, and Qiqing cannot touch the master's things." One second Qiqing loudly said she wanted to, the next second she thought of the master, her tone was low but she was determined not to touch it.

Seeing that Qiqing was not easily fooled, Wulai changed her strategy and coaxed, "Huanyuechu is your master. This is not considered reckless behavior. This is solving a problem for your master. Maybe your master will even praise you."

Upon hearing her master praise her, Qiqing immediately put down her bundle, her mind filled with thoughts of the snacks she had just seen. Still a little uncertain, she looked up at Wulai with her bright eyes and asked again, "Really?"

"Really, but you can't eat it in front of your master. You have to take it to your space to eat, and also help your master dispose of the trash." This little fool is too easy to fool!

Huan Yue paid the bill at the beginning of the month, carrying a shopping basket and a large bag of snacks as she walked out of the supermarket, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction and happiness.

When I got to the entrance of the inn, I saw someone leaning over the door and looking through the crack.

I was curious about what he was looking at, so I asked him that!

"What are you looking at?"

Chongyang, completely unsuspecting, replied naturally, "I'll see if the landlady is here."

"Hey! You're looking for me!" I said, seeing that he was so engrossed in what he was watching that he didn't react.

"The proprietress isn't inside; she went to the supermarket!"
