Chapter 241 The Inn of Conscience

Jiang Xi quickly gave a friendly smile.

"Yes, of all the places I've stayed at, your place still has the most reasonable prices."

Riley: "Oh?"

"Really?"

Jiang Xi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her dark, bright eyes wide open behind her face mask, looking incredibly sincere.

Worried that the prices of the large honeybee Dobing and the young owner might not be the same, she quickly confirmed them again.

"New shop renovation, 50 coins a night, right?"

Riley glanced at Dobin, who was rubbing his six legs together, his bee-like head expressionless, and a strange sense of anticipation crept in.

"Hmm, 50 coins."

Riley's gaze swept over the twin snakes.

There is still only one person who has a marriage contract.

How many rooms?

Jiang Xi raised one finger.

"One room."

With the 33 coins Nakan gave me, I now have 193 coins left in my pocket.

With these 193 coins, I need to be careful with the money for hotels and meals.

Although Jiang Xi also wanted to stay in two rooms, she was too short of money and could only squeeze in with others.

Anyway, during the time we were heading to the glacier, we all slept huddled together in a cave.

Nakan blushed slightly upon hearing her words.

“One room…” Riley’s tone was meaningful.

Jiang Xi pretended not to understand what he was saying.

"Uh-huh."

Riley bent down and took out a wooden sign.

"Room number one, please. It'll be perfect for you to test whether you can withstand the fourth level."

Jiang Xi: "..."

Pretending not to understand "a second chance at love".

She counted out 50 coins from her pocket and was about to hand them over when Riley spoke again.

"Want to eat?"

Jiang Xi's dark eyes lit up.

"Does 10 coins include three meals a day?"

Riley gave a forced smile. "What do you think?"

Jiang Xi said awkwardly, "Haha, I think it's unlikely. It's the royal court, so prices are bound to be a little higher."

Riley: "Since you're loyal customers, here's 20 coins, which will cover your three meals."

Jiang Xi nodded quickly and deftly counted out another 20 coins.

What's the difference between this and giving it away?

When I entered the city just now, there were people selling fruit at the entrance, 3 coins each!

Jiang Xi was delighted.

Nakan hesitated, realizing the orc's shell-coin offensive.

Nafi glanced at him and, through a mental connection, told him to be quiet.

Jiang Xi picked up the wooden sign and was about to leave when Riley's voice rang out again.

"Actually, our shop is hiring. If you don't have enough shell coins, you can have your beastman waiter. They're good-looking and should get a good amount of tips."

Jiang Xi blinked. Was it what she thought it meant?

Riley added, "Don't worry, we're a legitimate business. We have many married orcs working here to earn a living."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a corner.

There, a young man with deer antlers on his head was blushing as he bent down to serve food to several females. One of the females touched the young man's antlers and then stuffed three shell coins into his clothes.

Jiang Xi: "..."

She turned her head and looked at Riley.

You call this legitimate?

Riley coughed.

"This is the personal behavior of the orcs and females, and has nothing to do with our store."

Jiang Xi snorted, "We have money! We don't need to work!"

She pulled Nafiel along, dragged Nakan along too, and walked inside.

Dobin flapped its wings and led the way.

Riley stood behind the stake and touched his nose.

At this moment, several young and handsome orcs surrounded him, propping their elbows on the wooden stakes and looking at him with grins.

"Look what we've seen!"

"Room number one: 50 coins, 20 coins for three meals a day?"

"If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a little beastman relief center."

"Riley, tell me the truth, are you after that woman and desperate to get married?"

"Is that female pretty? She actually managed to make you, a tree that's been barren for millennia, bloom?"

"I didn't see the female's face, but her two twin snake beast husbands, wow, they're top-notch. If I could look like that, I wouldn't have to worry about marrying into the royal family."

"But she looks a bit poor, Riley. If you marry her, you'll have to support her penniless beast husbands. How miserable is that?"

"A marriage contract is a lifelong commitment; it can't be taken lightly."

"If you ask me, Her Highness is better. Although she's not a favored female, she's young and beautiful..."

The orc paused, then looked at Riley with a mischievous grin.

"The important thing is that Her Highness the Princess has declared that she will definitely marry you."

Riley raised his hand and waved.

"Go away, go away. If you're here to eat and drink, sit down. If you're here to go crazy, go back to where you came from."

The young orcs made a couple of jeers.

"Drink, drink! Bring out all your best wines."

Led by Duobin, Jiang Xi and the other two crossed the plank road and arrived at a house with a great view on the cliff.

Dobin rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"It's quieter here than the other rooms. Don't worry, no matter how loud the noise is, no one outside can hear it."

Jiang Xi: "..."

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.

She waved her hand.

"knew."

Nafair added, "We'll eat now."

Dobin flapped its wings, circled twice, and then flew away.

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, finally calming down.

Balance in pocket: 123 coins.

She pushed open the door to the room, which contained only a bed, but the room was spacious.

Nakan stood to the side, feeling somewhat awkward, unsure of where to put his feet.

His gaze fell on the large bed, and his face flushed again.

Nafi glanced at him and thought he had too many things on his mind.

Jiang Xi turned around and looked at Nakan.

"We have a limited number of Shell Coins, so let's just use them up for now. Once we get in touch with Lu Liufeng and Yang, we won't have to worry about Shell Coins anymore."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Nakan's eyes.

Is it just about squeezing in?

Jiang Xi invited them to sit by the window and poured three cups of water from a pot, the contents of which were unknown.

"Now, let's think together about how to contact Yang and Lu Liufeng!"

The three of them discussed it for a while.

The final decision was that Nakan should take the wooden plaque given to him by Yang and go to the royal court to find him.

After all, Nafiel's marriage contract is obvious, and Jiang Xi's contractual bond is even more so; neither of them is suitable to appear in the royal court.

If we run into sea creatures, it will be terrible.

Nakan is the most suitable candidate.

After all, the sea people had never seen him before, and he had no trace of his birthmark; he was completely clean.

Nakan's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

"No problem, I'll go to the royal court after dinner."

He was happy that he could be of help.

Dinner was similar to what I had before.

After Nakan finished eating, he took the wooden sign and left.

Jiang Xi sat by the window, no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

A gentle breeze blew from the cliff, ruffling her hair.

Nafi walked over and touched her long hair.

"The female master should take a bath first."

Jiang Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's take a shower!"

Sitting idly by isn't a good idea.

Because Nakan would be back soon, Nafiel did not bathe with the female master, but only went into the house to take a quick shower after the female master finished bathing.
