BXBX NOVEL Chapter 849 - Shallow Moon Inn
Chapter 849: Shallow Moon Inn
The streets of Dragon City were busy and lively. On the pavement, there were actually stalls set up, with food, drinks, games and various other items. The stalls were obviously well ordered. They were all within their planned booths. Although there were many, they did not seem disorganized.
“Selling candied fruit!”
A long cry sounded amongst the hustle and bustle in the street.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen’s eyelid twitched. There was someone selling candied fruit in Dragon City, and it was actually an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner. Mo Wen even saw people actually going to buy them from him.
“There’s nothing strange about having this in Dragon City. As long as there is a demand, there will be people carrying out such business. Also... there is even a red light district in Dragon City,” Tang Zhizhi said with her face slightly red.
Dragon City indeed had a red light district. After all, in every city, food, drink, and entertainment were always the most sought after businesses. The people who could open a brothel in Dragon City were not ordinary people and would have extraordinary backgrounds with lots of support behind them.
Dragon City had eight districts. The Shallow Moon Inn was next to Yunxi Lake in the South District. Its surroundings were beautiful, and it was a very famous inn. Mo Wen had entered the city by the Southern Dragon Gate, so he was not far from the Shallow Moon Inn.
After walking for a while, they could see Yunxi Lake in the distance.
Yunxi Lake was the largest lake in the South District. It was surrounded by lush trees. Willows fluttered in the wind. Dragon City did not have four seasons and enjoyed the most comfortable weather at all times of the year.
The surroundings of Yunxi Lake were so beautiful. Naturally, it was a good spot to set up inns and restaurants. The edge of Yunxi Lake seemed to be covered with inns and restaurants.
Although the Shallow Moon Inn was not the most famous inn around Yunxi Lake, it was well-known. That was because the Shallow Moon Inn was the only inn with low-grade rooms with pricing that was comparatively cheaper. After all, with such a prime geographical location on the Yunxi Lake, the inns and restaurants here all took the high-end route. Aside from the Shallow Moon Inn, the cheapest rooms of the other inns were medium-grade rooms.
The famous Moon Clasping Inn had rooms that were top-grade and above. Ordinary customers could not afford to lodge there even if they considered it expensive.
Although Mo Wen could afford to stay in the Moon Clasping Inn, he had no reason to spend his money so lavishly. Although he had many spiritual stones, he had great plans for them. Wasting them would be a shame.
“I am sorry, sir. The low-grade rooms of our Shallow Moon Inn have all been rented out. We are only left with top-grade rooms as well as a few medium-grade rooms. Do you still wish to check in?” a beautiful young receptionist asked with a polite smile. If one did not book the Shallow Moon Inn’s low-grade rooms, it was usually hard to get one unless that a room had coincidentally just become available.
“How much are your medium-grade rooms per day?” Ling Feng said as he frowned slightly. He suddenly realized that they had come to Dragon City two days later than everyone else and also that the Shallow Moon Inn’s rooms were probably all booked far in advance.
“Two spiritual stones a day. This is already an honest price. You will certainly not find any medium-grade rooms around Yunxi Lake that are cheaper than our Shallow Moon Inn’s,” the beautiful receptionist said with a smile. The medium-grade rooms in Moon Clasping Inn cost at least three spiritual stones. Comparatively, the Shallow Moon Inn’s price was indeed not very high. Of course, this price was also the standard in Dragon City and was not lower than everywhere else.
The Moon Clasping Inn was the only inn around Yunxi Lake that had heaven-grade rooms. Many people were attracted by its fame, hence its prices were also comparatively higher.
However, for accommodation fees to be as high as two spiritual stones was almost ridiculously high.
“If you can’t afford to stay here, then don’t stay. If you are so poor, why did you come to find rooms around Yunxi Lake? You originally stayed in nooks and crannies, so why did you run all the way here to Yunxi Lake to embarrass yourself?”
Ling Feng had not yet spoken when a small muttering voice came from behind.
It was a young woman. She was in her twenties and she had a few people around her. They were all older than her and seemed to be older members of her family. They stood behind Mo Wen’s group, having arrived after them and were preparing to check in.
When the young maiden saw Ling Feng talking with the female receptionist and realized that he was delaying their check in, she immediately felt dissatisfied. She could not help but begin to rant and rave.
The people who could come and stay here were mostly ancient martial art practitioners. Although the young woman’s voice was not loud, everyone, including the female receptionist, heard her clearly.
Mo Wen and Tang Zhizhi both frowned. This young woman was very uncultivated. From her appearance, she seemed to be a person who had been spoiled all her life. Also, the older family members around her actually did not show any response when this young woman acted so presumptuously. They obviously looked down on Mo Wen and the others, clearly silently acknowledging this young woman’s behavior.
However, everyone in the inn could tell that if the group could bring a young woman along to Dragon City, the faction behind them must certainly be extraordinary. After all, Dragon City Talismans were still very precious. In a sect like the Five Tigers Sect, even sect grand elders would not necessarily be given a Dragon City Talisman, let alone a young disciple.
“Hey, you poor things better hurry up. Can you afford to delay me?”
When this young woman saw that her elders did not object to her behaving in such a way, she immediately became even more arrogant. It seemed as though she felt that she was in the right.
Mo Wen’s figure moved slightly, and he prepared to walk up to the young maiden. Mo Wen was not a person with a kind temperament.
Tang Zhizhi hurriedly held him back. In a low voice, she said, “You cannot simply cause trouble in Dragon City, otherwise you will be severely punished. Some people who did not know the laws of Dragon City ended up being bankrupted by the Huatian Palace’s fine.
Ling Feng was the calmest among them. From the very start, his expression did not change. He did not even glance at the young woman. At his age, he had seen many things. He had long since been impervious to desires and passions. The words of an unruly woman were no different from air to him.
“Sir, will you be checking in? You probably can find better rooms elsewhere.”
The female receptionist gave Ling Feng an apologetic smile. She had also not expected that such an incident would happen. However, from the looks of Mo Wen’s group, they indeed did not scream wealth. Also, the prices in Dragon City were very high. Even if the people who came to Dragon City were not ordinary people and were powerful figures outside, once they came to Dragon City, it was likely that fewer than one-thousandth of them could truly afford to stay in the inns around Yunxi Lake.
Many people stayed in more rural areas. Transportation was inconvenient and also five to six people shared a room. It was indeed cheap and most people could afford to stay there, but the conditions were very poor.
“Can they afford to stay in the Shallow Moon Inn? One can tell that they are fated to stay in capsule inns.” The young woman felt that she could act superiorly in front of Mo Wen’s group. She immediately became swollen with arrogance.
“I will cover their accommodation fees. Please give them two world-grade rooms.”
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the inn. Everyone was drawn to the voice. It was so domineering! Two world-grade rooms in one swoop. The highest grade rooms in the Shallow Moon Inn were world-grade rooms, and there were only five of them. Usually, very few people would check in to them.
At the entrance stood a woman, a most unusual and quite individual beauty.
