?Lin Li Zi couldn’t help being shocked when she saw Lin Fan lying on the table in front of her.
The beautiful waitress who had walked away couldn’t help looking back with a shocked look.
Even the customers who were at the other tables looked over with shocked looks on their faces.
Not a single person had expected Lin Fan to collapse like this from just a single cup.
He had put on a tough exterior, but it turned out that he couldn’t even drink a single drop of alcohol. He had turned red and had fainted from just a single sip of the wine…
It was no wonder why he only wanted water and no wine in a bar out of all places…
Lin Li Zi just looked at Lin Fan with an awkward look as she didn’t know what to do. She was very conflicted on this matter as she wanted to hurry and get the Blood Lingzhi for her mother, but it wasn’t as if she could force Lin Fan awake now that he had fallen asleep from getting drunk.
As she sat there with a conflicted look on her face, the beautiful waitress came over and said, “How about we bring you up to one of the rooms? It’s my fault that this happened, so I’ll give you one of the rooms for free.”
Lin Li Zi still had that conflicted look on her face as she looked up at the beautiful waitress, but she slowly gave a nod in the end.
After all, there was nothing that she could do at this point.
At the very least, it would be safe if they stayed in one of the rooms at the inn.
She would be able to wait out Lin Fan’s drunken stupor without worrying about being attacked by the beasts in this Roaming Mist Forest.
The beautiful waitress nodded at a few of the men at the bar and they came over to help her lift Lin Fan from the table.
The beautiful waitress could see the conflicted look that was on Lin Li Zi’s face and she misunderstood that as worry for Lin Fan. So she came over and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. I’ll get some water and some medicine for him. At the very least, we have things for hangovers in this bar.”
Lin Li Zi’s expression didn’t really change, but she did give a nod in response to this.
The men came over to Lin Fan leaning over the table and they reached out to grab him…
But before any of them could reach him, Lin Fan suddenly woke up and swept the sword that had appeared out of thin air at them.
All of these men were caught off guard and weren’t able to react in time as the sword cut right across their chest. All of them started to bleed from their chest as they fell back, but Lin Fan didn’t care about them as he pointed the sword at the beautiful waitress beside Lin Li Zi.
Both the beautiful waitress and Lin Li Zi had shocked looks on their faces, but Lin Li Zi quickly said, “Sir Wu Qing, what are you doing? These people were just trying to help us, there’s no need to be acting this way. Please put the sword down.”
She didn’t say ‘before someone got hurt’ because there were already people who had been injured because of Lin Fan.
They were the men who were lying there bleeding out on the ground.
But Lin Fan didn’t put the sword down as he kept pointing it at the beautiful waitress in front of him.
The beautiful waitress saw this and moved closer to Lin Li Zi without saying a word, but the look on her face made it clear that she was cautious of Lin Fan. ᴛʜs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀ s ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ir(e).nt
Lin Fan ignored Lin Li Zi and looked at the beautiful waitress to say, “Is there any point in playing around like this? Just reveal yourselves.”
Lin Li Zi revealed a confused look when she heard this, but this time she didn’t try to mediate.
She could tell that there was something wrong that Lin Fan would do something like this, so she kept silent to see what was happening.
The beautiful waitress also saw that Lin Li Zi wasn’t saying anything, so she gave a sigh and said, “You could have let us take care of you without any pain. Why would you want to drag it out when you’re already caught in our trap?”
Lin Li Zi revealed a look of shock when she heard this, but before she could turn around to look at the beautiful waitress behind her, she saw that there was mist that appeared in the air of this bar.
This mist was just like the mist that covered the entire forest.
But this mist shouldn’t be in here since they were inside of a building…
That was until the building disappeared as well.
Lin Li Zi couldn’t understand what was happening, but the building that they were in turned into mist completely and disappeared in front of her.
It wasn’t everything around them that disappeared.
The building might have been fake, but the furniture that they had been using and the bar itself were all real.
Though they didn’t look as good as they did when they were covered in the mist.
Instead of being polished and fancy furniture, they turned into rough looking furniture that was made of wood. It wasn’t carved wood, it was just wood that was formed into the shape of furniture that was placed on the ground.
But the most shocking thing was the change in the appearance of the beautiful waitress.
She…could no longer be considered beautiful with the change in her appearance.
She went from a beautiful human woman to what seemed to be a woman that was made of wood.
All of her skin turned green, looking like tree bark instead of proper skin. Her hair turned to leaves and even the clothes that she had been wearing turned into leaves that were worn over her bark skin.
She went from a beautiful woman to an ugly one made of wood.
After the mist scattered and revealed the true appearance of this bar, the wood woman no longer had the same attitude as before.
In a cold voice, she asked, “How did you find out?”
Lin Fan couldn’t help giving a chuckle when he heard this before saying, “It seems that you really don’t understand humans that well. I’m sure that you thought that you had everything covered, but there was one important thing that you missed.”
The wood woman knitted her brows when she heard this.
The look on her face made it clear that she didn’t think that she had missed a single thing.
There was nothing wrong and they had fooled many people like this, so how did things change today?
Even Lin Li Zi had been fooled by their illusion…
“You think that with so many people in here, there wouldn’t be a single horse and carriage outside?” Lin Fan said in a calm voice.
The wood woman revealed a confused look, but Lin Li Zi immediately revealed a look of understanding.
She hadn’t thought about this previously, but it seemed that Lin Fan was much sharperthan her.
That’s right, if there were so many people here, where were their forms of transportation?
They were only here temporarily, so it wasn’t as if they would give up anything that they could use to leave this place with. Even if there were some of them that couldn’t afford it, the people that came to this place were generally rich enough that they could easily afford a horse and carriage.
So the fact that there was nothing there was very strange.
The wood woman still didn’t seem to get it, but she didn’t really seem to care in the end.
It seemed that she wasn’t able to understand these simple things that humans had no trouble understanding.
But that wasn’t strange since it was clear that this wood woman wasn’t a human in the first place.
To be fair, this was Lin Fan’s first time seeing or hearing about something like this wood woman, so it wasn’t as if he could really make a judgement here.
In the end, the wood woman cast aside this matter and returned to the matter at hand.
“Drop your weapon and we’ll give you a quick death. If you don’t, we can’t guarantee what will happen to this woman.”
Lin Li Zi had been in a daze from all of this, that she didn’t discover that one of the woman’s hands was at her neck.
This hand wasn’t gripped around her neck, but rather formed a large wooden spike that was placed right up against her neck. Just a single inch forward would drive this wooden spike into her neck and kill her.
Lin Li Zi only felt it now because the wood woman had pressed it up against her neck now.
Lin Li Zi couldn’t help feeling a chill run down her spine, but she chose to face this with grace, “Don’t worry about me! Just go!”
She could tell that these wood creatures around them were not weak.
Or at least, they were stronger than her.
She didn’t know just how strong they were, but she was certain that they wouldn’t be weaker than how strong she thought Lin Fan was.
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a faint smile when he heard this.
But then he said, “Do you really think that’s a threat?”
