347 Charging for Spirit Pets
Dong Xi looked at the guard in confusion. The guard pointed at the snake on Dong Xi’s shoulder and said, “We also charge for spirit pets. Same price.”
Dong Xi, “…”
The snake had given Dong Xi a lot of spirit stones before, so she could not just leave the snake behind just to save 20 low-grade spirit stones.
Of course, she could not just give the spirit stones to the guards. After all, she did not want to expose her wealth.
Dong Xi frowned and began to bargain with the guard. When the guard became impatient and wanted to chase Dong Xi away, she unwillingly rummaged through her entire body and took out 20 low-grade spirit stones and gave them to the guard.
The sky was especially gloomy, as if it was going to rain heavily.
As more and more people entered the city, Dong Xi also quickened her pace. With so many people entering the city, it would be a problem to find a place to stay at night.
Many years ago, this place was still a small border city. Now, because there were more people coming here to catch demon beasts, it became prosperous.
As they entered the city, they were greeted by a clamor.
The cultivators here basically lived a life of bloodshed, and their personalities were more violent.
Fighting was forbidden in the city, but flag duels were allowed.
There was a large arena in the center of the city, which was specially used to settle grudges between the cultivators in the city.
The city was divided into eight areas. It was said that when it was built, the people of Destiny Valley came to take a look. If they built it according to this blueprint, they would have the strength to fight against the demons in the future.
Dong Xi searched for half a day, but all the inns were already packed.
Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Dong Xi thought that she had to have a place to hide from the rain. She looked at the tavern opposite and walked in.
The tavern was filled with burly men dressed in animal skins. As soon as Dong Xi entered, a pungent smell assaulted her nose.
The smell of sweat was mixed with the smell of alcohol. Dong Xi frowned and raised her hand to cast a cleaning spell. The smelly house was immediately cleaned up, and the smell of sweat on the burly man’s body was also gone.
When the waiter saw this situation, he was stunned and looked at Dong Xi who had just entered.
The waiter was very puzzled. This Fairy looked young and did not look like a rich person. She most likely wanted to hide here from the rain.
“Hmm, do you have any good wine?” Dong Xi nodded.
He was a guest, and a cultivator at that.
The waiter led Dong Xi to the side and pointed at the sign on the wall. The waiter said, “An ordinary turbid wine, a slightly spicy Blazing Flame Wine, and a relatively fresh Green Bamboo Wine There’s also the Golden Cicada Wine, which is much more expensive.”
Dong Xi took out 10 low-grade spirit stones and said, “A pot of turbid wine.”
When the waiter heard Dong Xi’s words, he was not surprised. The waiter said, “Little Fairy, please wait a moment.”
Dong Xi found a seat by the window and sat down. Not far away, a few strong men who were drinking and playing dice shouted, “Little girl.”
Dong Xi looked over. Two of them walked over with wine jugs in their hands. One of them said, “Little girl, you drink too?”
Dong Xi nodded. It had already started to rain outside. The raindrops fell on the green stone bricks, splashing patterns.
The two of them sat opposite Dong Xi. Because of their burly figures, it looked a little crowded when they sat together.
“Are you here to hide from the rain?” asked one of them.
Dong Xi did not pay attention to them. She just looked at the two of them warily, wondering what they were trying to do.
Another person said, “It’s obvious that you just came. You can’t afford to stay in an inn. Business is especially good on rainy days.”
“Why?” Dong Xi immediately asked. “Is there anything wrong with the rain?”
“It’s fine if it rains,” said the person who had spoken earlier. “But its a different story when there is thunder. Once there is lightning and thunder, the demon beasts in the forest will come out.”
Dong Xi looked at the thick dark clouds outside and felt that the situation was not good.
The man continued, “You just got here. Do you want to join our team? When the weather is clear, we’ll go to the forest to catch demon beasts. If we catch high-level demon beasts, let alone an inn, we can even buy a house.”
Dong Xi could tell at a glance that one of them was at the 7th level Qi Refinement stage, while the other was at the 5th level. With their cultivation, they actually wanted to capture a high-level demonic beast?
Dong Xi pretended to be flustered. She whispered, “I… I’m afraid that won’t do. My cultivation level is too low, so I might drag you all down.”
“It’s nothing. Our Boss can teach you how to cultivate,” said another person.
She pretended to be a noob to gain their sympathy.
The two of them did not know what kind of dirty ideas she had. She went along with them and said, “Really?”
“Of course,” the brawny man immediately said. “I’ll bring you to meet our Boss later. Our Boss is especially good to newcomers. You’ll know when you go.”
At this moment, the waiter brought out the turbid wine from the kitchen. He walked quickly to Dong Xi’s table and placed the wine in front of Dong Xi.
