Which will come first, danger or tomorrow?

After witnessing the fates of those noble young masters, the people in the inn finally came to their senses. They quickly extinguished all the lights. Additionally, with cultivators continuously coming out to besiege the Bone-Winged Foul Birds, the Bone-Winged Foul Birds no longer fixated on the inn. Thus, Lan Zhi lay down at ease to sleep and nourish her spirit. When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. Lan Zhi opened her eyes and saw Jin Yuman sitting by the bed, holding the sword that had been used to slay the Foul Mountain Chickens earlier. She looked exhausted, with disheveled hair and still carrying the stench of the Bone-Winged Foul Birds. Even the bruises from when she had fallen and been pressed on the ground had not been treated. However, compared to the previous day, her expression was evidently much more resolute, as if she had grown up overnight. Lan Zhi was somewhat surprised and asked, "You didn't sleep?" Hearing the voice, Jin Yuman turned her head and saw that she was awake. Her tense expression immediately relaxed a bit, and she said somewhat sheepishly, "I was afraid something would happen to you at night, and also worried that the foul beasts would break in, so I didn't dare to sleep." Lan Zhi listened carefully for a moment and, not hearing any unusual sounds outside, got up and said, "It's okay. Go and rest." Jin Yuman nodded and stood up but did not leave immediately. Instead, she bent down and bowed to Lan Zhi, saying, "Thank you for saving me. I..." She was used to saying she would give money, but it seemed like an insult in this situation, so she changed her words, "I will definitely repay you in the future!" Lan Zhi said indifferently, "No need. Go." By the time Jin Yuman woke up and the two of them washed up and went downstairs, it was already noon. Most of the people sitting in the lobby eating were discussing the night raid by the foul beasts. For example, who had slain how many Bone-Winged Foul Birds, who had been injured, and whose shop roof had collapsed. But the most discussed topic was the cause of this night raid by the foul things. During these three months every year is the peak season for removing filth. Foul things usually migrate in the direction of the Foul Abyss. Without special circumstances, the foul things would not deliberately come out to seek death. It was said that the reason for the abnormal night raid last night was that someone had smashed the eggs of the Bone-Winged Foul Birds and then fled back to the Jiqing Tower Market. The Bone-Winged Foul Birds had chased after the scent to seek revenge. Jin Yuman listened with surprise and indignation, "Why did that person do that? He clearly knew there were so many people here. What if..." Lan Zhi said indifferently, "So what? This is just the thinking of the weak. The strong might even be grateful to him for helping to deliver the mission targets." Having narrowly escaped death last night, Jin Yuman clearly also realized that this was a world full of crises. No one could say for sure which would come first, danger or tomorrow. Most importantly, if one did not have the strength, it would be meaningless even if one hired someone to complete all the missions for the next ten years. —Because she could lose her life overnight! Only being like Lan Zhi, able to defeat a third-level Bone-Winged Foul Bird with one move, was the trump card for survival. Jin Yuman took a deep breath and made up her mind completely, "Lan Zhi, I want to ask you to teach me to do the filth-removing missions. Is that okay? I don't want to be like before. I want to learn to face the enemies by myself." Lan Zhi did not readily agree as she had the day before, "Not now." Jin Yuman anxiously asked, "Why? Is it because the difficulty has increased? Can I pay more?" Lan Zhi shook her head, "It's not about the money. I have to go back and recuperate from my injuries." Jin Yuman immediately remembered the scene of her vomiting blood last night. Looking at her face, which was much paler than the day before, Jin Yuman said awkwardly, "I'm sorry." Lan Zhi didn't think it was a big deal and said, "If you still want to learn after I recover, there should be no problem teaching you."
