Chapter 1944: Chapter 1944: Is it a den of bandits and robbers?

Thinking of this, he decided to return to the Yue Clan first.

Even if he didn’t want to see Luo Mianyi’s stomach-turning face at all, he didn’t want to miss Sister Sangsang and Brother Molian.

...

The Eastern barren land.

After flying on their mounts for several days,

finally, Zimo and Lin Caisang’s group emerged from the lifeless Eastern barren land.

"Finally, we’re out,"

Lin Caisang said with a sigh, looking at the scenery in front of her.

"Master, Mistress, up ahead is Zhen Dian. Shall we rest there for the night before we continue our journey?" Zhe Jue asked, looking at the town not far ahead.

Lin Caisang glanced at Zimo, and then Zimo nodded to Zhe Jue.

"Go arrange it."

"Yes."

Zhe Jue, followed by Zhen Wu, quickly made their way ahead.

However...

When they arrived in the town and saw the inn in front of them, the two were dumbfounded.

"You can’t use silver to pay for lodging; what should we use?" Zhen Wu asked.

"Yuan stones, of course," the waiter said, looking at them as if they were idiots.

"Yuan stones?"

Zhen Wu murmured the two words softly and then turned to raise an eyebrow at Zhe Jue.

"What about for food? What should we use?" Zhe Jue asked.

"That’s also with yuan stones, what else could it be?" the waiter said matter-of-factly.

The two of them: "..."

They didn’t have any yuan stones on them at all.

Not to mention them, even the master and mistress probably didn’t have any yuan stones, right?

"So, is there a place around here where we can exchange silver for yuan stones?" Zhe Jue thought for a moment and asked the waiter.

"Yes, but it’s ten taels of silver for one yuan stone, and for an inn like ours, one night in one room needs a hundred yuan stones," the waiter replied.

The two of them: "!!!"

This wasn’t an inn; was it a den of bandits and robbers?

Ten taels of silver for one yuan stone, so for a hundred yuan stones that would be a thousand taels of silver?

And that was just for one room!

For the ten of them, even if two shared a room, it would be five thousand taels of silver for one night, and that wasn’t even including food!

"Let’s first ask the master and mistress," Zhen Wu said.

If they spent money at this rate, their silver would soon be used up. No matter how much they had, it wouldn’t be enough.

...

"It’s that expensive?"

Lin Caisang was surprised upon hearing what Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu said.

On the Illusion Continent, one night’s expenses was more than enough for their entire family to live on for over a year. It was simply outrageous.

"Brother Molian, it seems we can’t afford to stay at this inn," she said, glancing over at Zimo.

Arriving here, it was like starting over, wasn’t it?

The silver and gold they carried were worthless, barely lasting a moment before it would drain them dry.

"Exchange for yuan stones, let’s stay for one night,"

Zimo thought for a moment and then ordered Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu.

"Yes, Master," Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu responded and went off to exchange for yuan stones in order to prepare for their stay at the inn.

"Sangsang, I have some impure crystals and pure crystals that Mother gave me; maybe we could..."

Lin Changhong, looking at them who were once extravagant, now finding themselves in financial distress upon reaching the Illusion Continent, intended to take out what his mother had given him for their use.

Only, Zimo and Lin Caisang didn’t give him that chance.

"You’re not allowed to use them!"

They both said at the same time to him.
