Chapter 2589: Found!

“Young Master, you may only go upstairs after you have paid half of the room fees.” With a smile, the Innkeeper said to Feng Jiu.

“How much?”

The Innkeeper smiled and waved as Feng Jiu took out gold coins. “Not gold coins, but rock crystals. Only rock crystals can be used here. Gold coins can only be utilised outside of Peng Lai Immortal Island. Here, only rock crystals are accepted.”

Rock crystals were considerably more valuable than gold coins. In addition, they carried spirit energy breath to aid in cultivation. She was surprised that everything required rock crystals and no one wanted gold coins.

She smiled, retrieved some rock crystals, and handed them to the Innkeeper. “Are these enough?”

“Hehe, that’s enough, Young Master, please follow me.” The Innkeeper, who was also an Immortal Sacred cultivator, personally took Feng Jiu to the second floor.

As she walked upstairs, Feng Jiu noticed that all of the people on the first floor of the inn were Celestials and Immortal Sacred cultivators. When she recalled the written account of this place, she understood that these people had relied on mutant fruits and medicine to reach this level of strength, and they would be unable to advance further for the rest of their lives.

“This is your room, Young Master. You can call the waiter if you require anything.” The Innkeeper stated. After giving a salute, he retreated.

After entering the room, Feng Jiu closed and locked the door before retiring to the bed in the inner room. She had spent the past three days reading in the library of the City Lord Manor without a wink of sleep, and all she wanted was a decent night’s rest.

However, knowing that someone was watching her from outside, she summoned Cloud Devouring Beast from the s.p.a.ce in order to rest comfortably.

“Cloud Devouring Beast, just lie down by the bed and watch. I’ll get some rest to recharge my spirits.” She said while stroking Cloud Devouring Beast’s head.

“Mm, please be at ease, Master! You may sleep while I stand guard.” Cloud Devouring Beast responded by reclining beside the bed and observing the bustle outside.

Feng Jiu gradually relaxed, grew drowsy, and fell asleep as she lay in bed. She slept soundly because she was relieved to have Cloud Devouring Beast here.

She had no idea that after hearing his father’s words, Ling Tianyu’s head was pounding and he was filled with disbelief.

“A woman? Feng Jiu was actually a woman?”

He murmured, suddenly humiliated and perplexed by the news. He was the City Lord Manor’s Young City Lord. It was fine to lose to that kid, but he was now informed that the kid was actually a woman. He was defeated by a woman?

His strength returned. He had promised his father that he would not leave the Manor, but now he felt compelled to go outside and see where Feng Jiu had gone.

So, he took his confidant Zuo Yi with him and left the Manor.

He went from inn to inn, but he couldn’t find where Feng Jiu was staying. He couldn’t help but wonder, “Would she have left by now?” But after some consideration, it appeared impossible, so he told Zuo Yi, “Go ahead and inquire at the inn in front. I’ll have a cup of tea first.”

He motioned to Zuo Yi to go to the inn in front of him and inquire about Feng Jiu’s whereabouts, while he sat at the roadside stall and requested that the old stall owner bring him a cup of tea.

He sipped tea while his mind wandered. How could someone so unrestrained and free be a woman? Such a handsome person with a devilish charm should have been a man. How could he possibly be a woman?

“Master, I’ve found it!”
