The tavern was not very crowded at the moment, with only three tables occupied by small groups of people. It seemed that not many had the means to indulge in such a place.
Chen Moxuan took a sip of his drink; the flavor was fragrant, and after swallowing, a warmth spread through his stomach. He found the wine quite pleasant. He also sampled some peanuts, which were fried to perfection, and the beef was flavorful as well. He wondered how much vitality these small dishes would cost him.
Seated by the window, he had a good view of most of the street outside. As he sipped his drink, he observed his surroundings but noticed nothing unusual; it appeared to be an ordinary marketplace. However, Chen Moxuan was not in a hurry. If the secrets of this place could be uncovered so easily, it wouldn’t have remained undiscovered for so long, with only one person managing to escape.
He thought that understanding the secrets here would provide the best chance of finding a way out. As he continued to observe, think, and drink, he quickly finished half a jug of wine.
At that moment, a clear and melodious voice rang out. "Waiter, bring me ten jugs of grain wine and one of each signature dish." Accompanying the voice was a girl who appeared refined and tall, exuding an aura of elegance.
Beside her was a maidservant. "Miss, you said you were just going out for a stroll; how can you drink wine? If the master finds out, he will surely scold you!"
"Let him scold me; I don’t care! It’s rare for me to be out like this; I should enjoy myself," she replied confidently. "You wait here and drink with me!"
Wu Shanshan said as she pulled out a chair and sat down at an empty table.
"But Miss, I can't drink! I must keep an eye on you; I can’t let you out of my sight," the maid protested.
"With that level of intelligence, I’m worried for you! Drinking with me means keeping an eye on me; how could I possibly leave your sight?"
"Well, I suppose you have a point," the maid conceded.
"What do you mean 'suppose'? It’s definitely true! Now sit down! There’s no need for all those rules here like there are at home."
It was clear that Wu Shanshan had a bold personality that matched her exquisite looks, making her quite captivating. Soon enough, all four tables in the tavern turned their attention toward her. Even Chen Moxuan glanced over twice before returning to his observation of the street.
However, the other patrons lacked Chen Moxuan's composure and couldn't help but stare at Wu Shanshan. Before long, the waiter brought over the wine along with two dishes.
Some dishes are still being cooked, so please wait a moment while we eat and wait together.
"Hey, weren't you supposed to bring out ten jugs of grain wine? Why is there only one? Are you afraid I won't have the money to pay?" Wu Shanshan said, pulling out a Crystal Bottle from her pocket, which was nearly full.
There must be nearly a hundred strands of Emotional Connection in there, right? I didn't expect this girl to be a little rich girl!
Having observed the street for quite a while, Chen Moxuan knew that possessing a hundred strands of Emotional Connection or vitality meant that this Heartless Valley was definitely wealthy. Even Fu Bo might not be able to produce that much Emotional Connection at once.
In this place, where one has to spend Emotional Connection or vitality every day for living, it’s quite hard to save up.
Several other tables also noticed that Wu Shanshan had a lot of Emotional Connection. At one table sat two young men who were quite good-looking.
Seeing this, one of the boys said, "Yang Wei, that girl is not only pretty but also so wealthy. If you go after her, wouldn't you be able to live a life like a god in the future?"
Yang Wei's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He realized that his friend's suggestion was not bad, but he still remained humble.
"This girl might have an extraordinary background; I can't just go in hard. I should observe her more first," Yang Wei replied.
"You're being too modest. In this Heartless Valley, how many people can have a higher status than yours? Unless she's the daughter of the valley master," his friend urged.
But it’s rumored that the valley master has always been single and couldn't possibly have children. "What are you worried about?" his friend added.
"I'm not worried at all; it's just that there's no rush. Let's continue enjoying ourselves for now," Yang Wei thought similarly but chose not to express it openly. The reason he wasn't in a hurry was that he felt confident and had experience in such matters.
"Alright! You handle it as you see fit! By the way, why do you think the valley master has never married and remains single?" Yang Wei's expression turned serious.
"This isn't something for us to discuss; don't bring it up again! Otherwise, we won't have anything to do with each other!"
"Okay, brother, I understand my mistake and won't mention it again."
After living in Heartless Valley for a long time, everyone knows that the valley master is a woman and remains single. However, no one knows what she looks like—whether she is tall or short, fat or thin.
All they know is that anyone who offends the valley master ends up either dead or completely devoid of emotions, becoming a heartless Puppet.
Yang Wei didn't know what the valley master looked like either, but his elders had warned him seriously: he could offend anyone in Heartless Valley except for the valley master!
The waiter noticed Wu Shanshan pulling out so many strands of Emotional Connection and couldn’t help but show a happy expression on his face.
"I'll get it right away."
Soon, ten jars of liquor were placed on the table.
"Here, have a jar too."
"Miss, do I really have to drink?"
"Of course! You promised me just now, didn't you? Are you going back on your word?"
The maid thought to herself: Where did I promise? It was all you who said it!
But despite her inner reluctance, she could only sit down.
"I'll just have one cup and then stop. That way, I can keep watching over the Miss."
"Come on, drink up! Cheers!"
Wu Shanshan drank with great enthusiasm, showing no signs of hesitation.
This made Yang Wei, who was used to more demure women, feel a strange sensation rise within him.
This woman must have a fiery temperament!
After the maid finished one cup, she didn't want to drink anymore.
But Wu Shanshan urged her to drink again and even piled her plate high with delicious food.
In an instant, she was completely captivated.
When she was in the manor, she could never enjoy such treatment or eat so many tasty dishes.
Before long, one jar of liquor was finished.
The maid had passed out, her head resting on the table.
"Haha, how could such a clever Miss be kept in check by you? I fought hard for this chance to come out!"
"Waiter, get me a top-notch room."
She planned to take the maid to a room and then go off to wander around herself, returning before the maid woke up from her drunkenness.
That way, whatever she did would go unnoticed!
