Following the guard's direction, Feng Jinghan looked and saw a faint light appearing in the dark forest.
"Go and take a look, and be careful in everything you do," Feng Jinghan instructed.
His beloved elder brother wanted to get rid of him but didn't want to leave any room for gossip, so even in the dense forest he didn't dare to search openly, assuming that the light was not from the pursuers.
Maybe they're bandits?
Feng Jinghan couldn't care less about anything else at this point and headed towards the light. If she lost the gamble, she would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den; if she won, she could escape from a desperate situation.
Given the current situation, we have no choice but to take a gamble.
Inside the Fairy Tale Inn, An Ge yawned, rubbed the tears from the corners of her eyes, rested her chin on the table, and looked utterly dejected.
For seven whole days, the inn has not had a single guest.
In her previous life, she had plenty of entertainment options, so she didn't feel lonely even if she stayed home for seven days. But now, apart from cleaning, she had nothing to do.
That's one thing, but seven days of continuous heavy rain, who can stand that?
"Could it be that I'm playing a post-apocalyptic survival game? Otherwise, how could the weather be so extreme?"
An Ge checked the system time; it was almost 8 PM. In the past, the nightlife would have just begun, but now? Close the shop and go to sleep.
Thanks to the system, she was able to live the regular life of the ancients, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
"Knock knock knock!" A series of urgent knocks on the door startled An Ge.
Finally, someone has arrived!
An Ge quickly ran towards the door, but stopped abruptly just before reaching it.
If a shop owner in a remote mountain village is overly enthusiastic, most people would think it's a scam.
Stay calm, don't act like you've never seen anything like this before.
Clearing her throat, An Ge opened the shop door.
"Welcome to Xianyuan Inn. Is there anything you need, sir?" An Ge shivered from the cold wind, but her expression remained unchanged as she smiled at the guest.
She couldn't appear too eager; it was best to establish herself as a mysterious, reclusive master. Otherwise, even with absolute defense, a woman as defenseless as her would still face considerable trouble.
Alas, it was her coarse cloth clothing that limited her potential.
"When I have money in the future, I'm definitely going to buy, buy, buy!" An Ge thought fiercely.
The visitors were two young men, and judging from their attire, one of them was likely the other's attendant. Both were disheveled, soaked to the bone, and covered in mud, yet they appeared to be wealthy and powerful.
It's good to be rich! The costs in the mall are so high, ordinary people are afraid they can't afford to buy it.
An Ge calmly observed the two of them, while Feng Jinghan and the other person could not hide their shock.
In this desolate mountain forest, there is such a beautiful woman.
The woman looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. Her long hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, and her coarse linen clothes could not conceal her stunning beauty. Feng Jinghan felt that the so-called number one beauty in the capital was a joke in front of this woman.
The surprise was fleeting, quickly followed by increased caution.
It's even more bizarre that a beautiful woman runs an inn deep in the mountains.
Feng Jinghan couldn't help but regret his gambler's mentality, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
An Ge ignored their guarded expressions; if they seemed calm, then she would be the one who was nervous.
"Excuse me, do you have a room? We'd like to stay the night." Feng Jinghan said, while discreetly looking around the room.
The interior furnishings were very simple, even more dilapidated than those of an ordinary inn, but there was a sense of disharmony throughout.
For example, the luminous pearl embedded in the wall was something even he, as a prince, had never seen before, yet the shopkeeper displayed it so openly in the front hall. And those pieces of transparent glass were even used luxuriously as windows.
You should know that even a single piece of glass in the capital can fetch an astronomical price at auction!
An Ge smiled, suppressing her excitement, and said, "We still have rooms available. You two can take a look at the shop rules first." As she spoke, she pointed to the notice standing at the door.
The so-called store rules were set by Ange itself.
Feng Jinghan and the other person stared intently at the black wooden board and saw several rules written on it.
Fairy Inn Rules:
Fighting is prohibited inside the store!
Do not be rude to the shop owner!
Do not damage any items in the store!
No credit!
Check-out and extension procedures are processed at 12:00 noon daily!
Guests are absolutely safe in the store!
All interpretations belong to the shop owner!
Feng Jinghan's eyebrows twitched, and she pointed to one of the signs, asking, "Can you guarantee the absolute safety of our guests?"
"certainly!"
"No matter what the danger?"
"As long as you don't break the shop rules, I guarantee you'll be fine," An Ge assured the two who were both excited and somewhat worried. She roughly guessed that their decision to stay at the shop was out of desperation, and that someone might be after them.
The attendant's hand hadn't left his sword since he came in.
"Then give us a superior room for the two of us." At this point, it was useless for Feng Jinghan to have any doubts. If what the shopkeeper said was true, then that would be perfect.
Otherwise... The two exchanged a glance. The shop owner was no ordinary person to run a shop all by himself, but they wouldn't just surrender.
Upon hearing this, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
She finally opened for business, and she was one step closer to escaping poverty.
"Our shop currently has two rooms, one single room and one double room. Which would you two prefer?"
"A double room." This is not the time to worry about status.
"Okay, a double room costs 400 points per night. You can place valuable items here, and the system will estimate their value and convert it into points stored on your card. All future purchases will be deducted from this card. Please choose your items carefully. We do not give change at this time, but any extra points can be transferred."
