Find an inn to stay at

Albeit they could still ask around for more rumors or go to some shop to see if they could find something interesting, the couple decided to first find an inn so they could secure themselves a place to stay as well as a temporary base where they could rest and plan what to do.

Ren was familiar with this village and albeit it had been a few years since he came, he still knew a pretty good inn where they could stay and so led Su Mei towards the Morning Sparrow Inn.
Managed by a window and her daughter, he and his master would usually lodge here when coming down to town and he had become pretty good friends with the owner's daughter Li Nana... she must have grow up to become a beauty, didn't she?

He looked forward to meet that childhood friend of his, but when he did... well, he'd never imagine he'd meet her again that way.

Ren and Mei walked into the inn and he immediately noticed something strange, namely there being a man standing behind the counter instead of Nana or her mother.
His upper body was naked and from his flowery tattoos it was pretty easy to guess he was part of the Peach Flower Society... it looked like he was holding something and there were strange sounds coming from below the counter.

"Ohya? Guests? Come, come, welcome to the Morning Sparrow" the man's tone of voice was quite frivolous and when he set his eyes on Mei his gaze revealed obvious lust, but what really shocked the two of them was the sight of what was happening below the counter...

Ren recognized Nina as the girl on her knees, her breasts in the open and her ponytail firmly grasped by the man as if it was a leash as she kept sucking on his dick despite the presence of guests.
Apparently she had been surprised and didn't want to continue, but the man had pulled her head in and she stopped resisting, instead continuing to service him despite the presence of guests.

The sight was appalling and especially shocking for Ren.
His childhood friend indeed grew up to become a beauty, but said beauty was now sucking a thug off in front of her guests and wasn't even putting up any sort of resistance. Why?
Su Mei had wanted to intervene in the beginning but as Nina didn't show any outward sign of unwillingness all she could do was hold in her rage and stare at the thug with fire in her eyes. Even if he was her man, how could he treat her this way?

Maybe noticing their surprise, he smiled and shrugged off the situation "Are you new around here? Don't mind her too much, i'm just training the staff. Now, let's talk business. A room is 10 coins a night, how long will you be staying?"

Training the staff? So they weren't in a relationship, but he was still treating her like that?
Worse off, for how long did this go on and how much must Nana have gone through to not show any resistance and kept sucking him off in the presence of guests?
Ren felt his gut twists and now knew why Mei wanted to go out in the world to clean out some filth.

However, rage for what happened to Nana aside, there was a more pressing matter to adress "10 coins a night? Last time i came it was 5!"

"And how long was that? This is one of the best inn around, and we charge 10 coins a night. Take it or scram, as you can see i'm busy"
