"Two?" Lu Ye was shocked. "Outside, one tael of silver can rent an entire inn. But you only have enough to pay for two rooms here. You're a complete scam!"
"What kind of shady shop is this? Scarcity makes things valuable. Don't you see, in the entire Undead City, besides this, is there another inn?"
The boss slowly walked to the counter and glanced at Luye with disdain.
"You poor bastard, get out of here if you don't have money. Don't stand here and interfere with my business!"
Having said that, the boss withdrew his gaze and was too lazy to say a word to Shikano.
After all, Lu Ye is a member of the Lu family, a famous wealthy family in Huacheng.
It was the first time someone called me a poor guy, and I was so angry.
"Who on earth is poor?" Luye pulled out two ingots of silver from his pocket, a total of twenty taels. "Is that enough to rent your inn now?"
Hearing this, the boss turned and looked at him.
Seeing him put two silver ingots on the counter, he raised his eyebrows and reached out to take them.
"Waiter, take them to their room. Use the kitchen and prepare a few dishes for them."
The man deliberately raised the voice of the word "whatever".
Luye had never been treated like this before. He was so angry that he wanted to rush up and have a good fight with the man.
But just as he rolled up his sleeves, Su Xiaoxiao's voice slowly reached his ears.
"Everyone is tired, let's go upstairs and rest. It's different here than outside, so less trouble is worse than more."
The latter sentence was clearly a reminder to Shikano not to act impulsively.
They all knew what the Undead City was.
Luye gritted his teeth unwillingly and followed the waiter upstairs.
The waiter pushed the door open and moved aside to make way for him.
The whole movement was very mechanical, like a wooden man without a soul.
Seeing that he was about to close the door and leave, Shikano quickly raised his hand to block the door.
"Hey, why is your inn the only one in your Undead City?"
The waiter glanced at him and didn't answer.
Luye frowned and continued to ask, "Why don't you speak? Are you mute?"
The waiter lowered his eyes, bowed to him, turned and ran away.
Luye: "..."
Could it be that what he said was right, and the waiter was really a mute?
At dusk, the group went downstairs to eat.
Just as the man said, the kitchen really did prepare a few dishes casually.
At first glance, it was all green vegetables, not even a piece of minced meat.
"What the hell is this? I gave you twenty taels of silver, and you only give me this to eat?"
"Eat if you want, otherwise go back to your room. It's only twenty taels of silver, and I'm already doing well enough to prepare these for you. What else are you dreaming about? Humph!"
The man leaned lazily against the counter, his eyes full of disdain.
Luye was so angry that he slammed the table and just as he stood up, Su Xiaoxiao pulled him back to sit.
When he turned around, he saw Su Xiaoxiao shaking her head.
He knew that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and he also knew that Su Xiaoxiao wanted him to be patient and not act recklessly on other people's territory.
But this man was obviously trying to make him angry on purpose. How could he tolerate this?
"Xiao Xiao, don't stop me. I must teach him a lesson today!"
Luye rolled up his sleeves, intending to fight to the death with the opponent.
Seeing him like this, Su Xiaoxiao sighed softly: "Who said I wanted to stop you?"
"ah?"
Luye was a little confused.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled him, wasn't she trying to stop him from acting impulsively?
"Let's eat first. After we're full, we'll go for a walk around the city and find out what's going on here!"
Luye frowned slightly, not understanding what Su Xiaoxiao was planning.
He thought about it and nodded: "Okay!"
After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao asked the hunters to stay and rest.
She and Mu Yansong and others left the inn and prepared to go to the Undead City to inquire about the situation.
The Undead City at night is completely different from the deserted city during the day.
The market was so bustling that it seemed like two different cities from the Undead City during the day.
The dignitaries dressed in gorgeous clothes and paraded through the city with a large group of servants.
A man accidentally bumped into an old man selling candied haws when passing by him.
The old man lost his balance and fell to the ground.
All the candied haws in his hand fell on the man.
"Damn it! Who is that blind person who dares to bump into me?"
"I'm...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
The old man quickly got up from the ground and apologized to the man.
The man glared at him and kicked him in the chest.
The old man was kicked and sat on the ground, holding his chest tightly.
Luye hurried over and tried to help the old man up.
"Uncle, this isn't your fault. He was the one who hit you, so he should be the one apologizing to you."
"Oh, stop talking, young master. This is clearly my fault. I should be the one to apologize to this young master."
As the old man said this, he got up from the ground again.
"Sir, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you just now, so you bumped into me. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!"
"Forgive you?"
The man glanced at him and then looked down at his shoes.
Seeing that his shoes were also stained with sugar, he frowned and took a small step forward.
"Kneel down and lick my shoes clean. If I'm in a better mood, I might consider letting you go!"
“Hey!”
The old man responded and knelt down in front of the man without hesitation.
Seeing that he was really going to lick the man's shoes, Shikano was shocked and quickly stopped him.
"No licking!"
"Where did you come from, you rascal?" The man looked at Lu Ye angrily. "This is a matter between me and him. If you lose, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
As he spoke, the man waved to the followers behind him.
The followers drew their swords and looked at Luye blankly.
On the surface, they looked completely ferocious.
But their movements looked as mechanical as those of the inn's waiters.
They are completely different from those servants in Huacheng who are relying on the power of others to bully others.
Su Xiaoxiao and others discovered this strange phenomenon.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the old man kneeling on the ground suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Luye's clothes.
"Young Master, please stop meddling in other people's business. This is my fault, and I just need to admit it. If you interfere, you'll be harming me!"
"I'm saving you!"
Luye frowned, obviously unhappy.
He was clearly saving someone, but in the mind of the person being saved, it seemed as if he was deliberately harming him.
Su Xiaoxiao listened to the conversation between the two people.
She turned her eyes and looked at Zhao Zixu.
"Zhao Zixu, go back and call our people out!"
