Chapter 305: Chapter 300 Living in the Woodshed (Fourth Update)

After the incident with Zhu Dabiao, the people outside the inn returned to the hall and no longer dared to look at Xu Jiaojiao. They all kept their heads down, talking softly.

"Daoist, did you see? That woman is not to be trifled with. I never thought she was a Ascension Peak expert. Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover!"

"Heh!"

"It’s a pity about Zhu Dabiao. His cultivation was wasted for nothing."

"Sigh!"

Someone sighed, "Well, that’s still better than dying!"

"Heh!"

Someone laughed, "If I lost my cultivation, I’d rather die..."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall. Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei had already drunk four jars of Red Flower Wine.

At this time, it was late at night. Xu Jiaojiao called the waiter and had him take the drunken Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei to the firewood room.

After settling Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei, Xu Jiaojiao returned to her room at the inn, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly closed her eyes.

The next day, at the break of dawn, the people outside the inn who woke up early started hitching their horses, preparing to head to the center of Dragon Origin City.

"Neigh~"

The sound of a horse’s neighing, someone leaped onto a horse with a smile on their face.

"Daoist, I hope we can stay at the same inn tonight."

"Ha!"

"Daoist, I think that won’t be necessary. Your thunderous snoring is unbearable..."

"Giddyup..."

"Clop, clop, clop!"

The person rode off into the dust.

"Neigh~"

"Daoist..."

More people gathered outside the inn. The sounds of horses and chatter blended into a cacophony.

In the firewood room of the inn, Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei were woken by the noise outside.

"Brother Yan, let’s set off too..."

Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei got up and walked out of the firewood room.

When someone outside the inn saw Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei coming out of the firewood room, they whispered, "Did you see those two arrogant boys from last night coming out of the firewood room?"

"Heh!"

Someone chuckled.

"They probably couldn’t afford a room, so they had to stay in the firewood room."

"Hmm!"

"Who would’ve thought? They were dressed so nicely, but they stayed in a firewood room!"

"Heh heh"

"What’s so surprising about that!"

"Heh!"

Someone mocked, "There’s nothing surprising about it, but what are they doing in Dragon Origin City without any Spirit Stones?"

Someone shook their head and smiled, "Daoist, if they don’t have Spirit Stones, maybe you could give them some."

"Tch!"

"I have plenty of Spirit Stones, but people like them deserve to sleep in a firewood room..."

"Heh!"

Someone sneered, "You’re right. They were so arrogant yesterday. I thought they were from some big family, but they’re just a couple of poor fools..."

"Hmph."

Someone snorted coldly.

"Daoist, whether they are poor or rich, just watch your own pocket. Goodbye..."

"Giddyup~"

"Clop, clop, clop..."

The sound of hooves and swirling dust left the inn’s entrance, leaving only Yan Rufeng, Xiao Fei, and Xu Jiaojiao.

Xiao Fei looked up at the sky, stretched, and yawned.

"Brother Yan, I hope we can reach the Dragon Origin Trading House before sunset."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "What’s the rush? That Mid Grade Pseudo Immortal Artifact at the Dragon Origin Trading House won’t be auctioned so early."

"Heh!"

Xiao Fei laughed.

"Brother Yan, if you don’t want to sleep in the streets or the firewood room, we should get going."

"Haha!"

Xu Jiaojiao said sweetly, "Brother Rufeng, I’ve heard that the Dragon Origin Trading House holds an auction in the evening too. If we move quickly, we might make it."

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "What are we waiting for? Giddyup~"

"Clop, clop, clop~"

Seeing Yan Rufeng riding off, Xiao Fei turned to Xu Jiaojiao and smiled, "Sister Jiaojiao, let’s go too..."

"Giddyup~ Giddyup~"

"Clop, clop, clop~"

The three of them rode swiftly towards the Dragon Origin Trading House, the dust kicked up by their horses annoying the passersby.

"Look at them in such a hurry; they must be racing to be reincarnated."

"Ha ha~"

"Daoist, speaking ill of others behind their backs will rot your mouth."

"Hmph!"

"None of your business..."

At sunset, in the twilight, Yan Rufeng, Xiao Fei, and Xu Jiaojiao finally arrived at the center of Dragon Origin City.

Another gate appeared in front of them.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly and said, "I didn’t expect this to be a city within a city. Interesting."

"Dismount and store your horses before entering," a guard called out to Yan Rufeng and the other two.

The three of them dismounted. Yan Rufeng spread out his Divine Sense and saw the three Purple Crystal Blooded Horses appearing on a large prairie on the planet within his Purple Mansion.

To enter the center of Dragon Origin City, they needed to pay an entry fee again. Having already paid once, Yan Rufeng refused to pay again. Helpless, Xiao Fei handed over fifteen top-grade Spirit Stones to the guard, allowing them to enter the city within a city.

In the twilight, a mountain peak suspended in midair appeared before them. Gloomy yet majestic, shrouded in Spiritual Energy, they could see the palace atop the peak reflecting the afterglow of the sunset. This palace was the main store of Dragon Origin Trading House.

Surrounding the palace were countless exotic flowers and herbs. The gentle breeze swayed their stems and leaves, making them look even more brilliant and splendid under the sunset’s reflection.

In front of the Dragon Origin Trading House, the leaves of two ancient towering trees caught the setting sun’s rays, casting mottled shadows as the sunlight slowly descended from the treetops.

Xiao Fei pointed to the suspended mountain in the distance and smiled, "Brother Yan, do you see that? That’s the Dragon Origin Trading House!"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Brother Xiao, you seem very familiar with this place!"

"Heh!"

Xiao Fei laughed, "I used to come here often when I was an Outer Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but it’s been two hundred years since I last visited."

"Wow!"

Xu Jiaojiao, who had been staring at the Dragon Origin Trading House, exclaimed, "The Dragon Origin Trading House truly lives up to its name as the number one trading house in Dragon Origin. It’s magnificent and beautiful!"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Sister Jiaojiao, stop marveling. For now, let’s find an inn. There are still 28 days until the grand event."

"Haha!"

Xu Jiaojiao said sweetly, "I can’t bear to have you and Brother Xiao sleep in the firewood room for so long. Let’s quickly find a good inn!"

The three of them arrived at an inn called "Dragon Origin Restaurant." Just as they were about to enter, someone called out, "Sorry, dear guests. We’re fully booked. Please forgive us!"

"Pfft..."

Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh, "Rufeng, Xiao Fei, dear brothers, at this rate, even the firewood rooms might be fully booked!"

"Ugh!"

Yan Rufeng and Xiao Fei were speechless.

With a smile, Xu Jiaojiao continued, "Dear brothers, the Dragon Origin Inn is the biggest inn in Dragon Origin City. With the grand event approaching, if they have no rooms, other inns will be equally tight."

Xiao Fei said calmly, "To find an inn quickly, we should split up and search. When we find one, we’ll contact each other through Jade Scrolls."

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng spread his hands helplessly, "I guess that’s our only option..."
