The tiger descending the mountain was agitated, but still tried his best to explain, "My lord, I really didn't know. If I had known, I would have run away with the dragon crossing the river long ago."

Why would anyone be so foolish as to bring people to meet the adults?

My mind raced, and I quickly tried to distance myself from being a "cross-river dragon"... I knew he definitely wanted to take it all for himself.

"You've made me a scapegoat! Please, sir, let me go! I really didn't know!"

No amount of wealth, honor, or promotions is as important as being alive.

The leader of the men in black listened and looked around the room but found no clues.

He then coldly ordered, "Take everyone back and report to the master! Set this place on fire!"

Tiger looked at the man in black in fear and was about to say something when he was knocked unconscious and taken away by one of them!

The fire raged across the empty Dragon Tiger Village, the raging flames like a ferocious beast, instantly engulfing everything in their path.

The wind fanned the flames, crackling sounds echoed through the mountains, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The former bandit stronghold's houses and fences gradually turned to ashes in the fire, leaving only a charred ruin.

After expressing their gratitude to the aunt who had seen them off, Han Zixuan and Ji Xiao finally stepped into the Yuntian Mansion.

It took them two days to enter Yuntian Prefecture, a place that should have taken only one day.

Yuntianfu was bustling with activity. The bluestone-paved road meandered along the sides, lined with shops whose signs and banners fluttered in the wind.

The silk and cloth shops are filled with shimmering silks and satins, and the jewelry stores are dazzling with brilliance.

The teahouse was packed with customers, their laughter and shouts filling the air. The food stalls were filled with enticing aromas, and the vendors enthusiastically beckoned customers.

Street performers showcased their skills, attracting crowds of onlookers and cheers, creating a vibrant atmosphere everywhere.

This was Han Zixuan's second or third visit to Yuntian Mansion.

Even excluding last night's events, the atmosphere was still lively, and Ji Xiao's previously listless eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing the bustling and prosperous city, I couldn't help but look around!

He's completely recovered from being terrified!

"Oh, this is Yuntian Prefecture. It looks much more interesting than Mingxi County!"

I couldn't help but stop and look at the strange and unusual things being sold at the street stalls.

Before I even touched the merchandise, the shop owner rejected me and drove me away.

"Go away, go away! You beggar, I haven't even opened for business yet! Get as far away as you can."

Ji Xiao looked at the vendor in shock, pointing at himself.

"What? A beggar? How do I look like a beggar!"

Even if Yuntian Prefecture is relatively prosperous, I still can't be considered a beggar!

He quickly came to his senses and looked himself up and down.

The original brocade embroidered long dress was now covered in mud and had several holes in it.

The embroidered shoes were no longer recognizable, and the sleeves were covered in mud and black spots.

His face was covered in mud, and his hair was covered in bits of grass.

Ji Xiao then realized that she had just gone on the run.

His disheveled appearance was entirely due to running away from Longhu Village.

I do look quite like a beggar, and Han Zixuan and A-Da are no less so.

Han Zixuan suddenly walked over and patted Ji Xiao on the shoulder.

"I don't have time to go shopping now, it would be best to find an inn to settle down first!" She really couldn't hold on any longer!

Ji Xiao hesitated and tugged at her clothes. "Sister Zixuan, it seems we're out of money."

Those bandits have looted everything! There's no money left!

Now the three of them are probably going to end up homeless!

Han Zixuan, thinking it was something else, directly took out a hundred-tael silver note from her bosom.

"Can you leave now?"

She has no shortage of money right now, and Ji Xiao's eyes immediately lit up.

He happily accepted the banknote and proudly waved it past the vendor!

"Hmph, this young lady wants to stay at the best inn!"

The vendor, left dumbfounded, slapped himself in the face, thinking, "Serves you right for being so talkative and looking down on people!"

Xiangyun Inn is the largest inn in Yuntian Prefecture. Located in the most prosperous part of Yuntian Prefecture, Xiangyun Inn boasts carved beams and painted rafters, and is magnificent in appearance.

The lobby is spacious and bright, with tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner, and many guests come and go. The rooms are elegant and fully equipped.

The young ladies moved among them, greeting everyone warmly. When they saw Han Zixuan and her two companions enter, they first went up to ask them what was going on.

Their attitude was fairly polite and they didn't judge people by their appearance. "Are you three here for a meal or to stay the night?"

Ji Xiao nodded slowly. "What kinds of rooms are there?"

Although the group's clothes were not very nice, their aura was quite extraordinary, so the second young lady did not dare to underestimate them.

"Hehe, sir, our rooms are divided into three sections: Heaven, Earth, and Man."

The best room is the top-tier room, which is fully equipped and the most luxurious room in the hotel.

The accommodation is spacious, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped. It includes three meals a day and daily water for washing and personal hygiene. The accommodation fee is 800 coins per day.

The "Earth" class rooms are slightly inferior to the "Heaven" class rooms; the room size is moderate, the decoration is ordinary, and the price is moderate.

The accommodation fee is 600 coins per day, which includes only two meals and a bucket of hot water.

The "Human-shaped" room is small and simply furnished. It's cheap, but doesn't include meals or hot water; the daily rate is 400 cash!

The waitress quickly described the room types in the inn.

Ji Xiao secretly compared the prices and realized they really weren't cheap!

Before she could speak, Han Zixuan had already spoken.

"Three top-class rooms!"

Ji Xiao immediately tensed up and grabbed Han Zixuan's arm.

"Sister Zixuan, how much money do you have left? We're staying for a long time, so I'm afraid it won't be enough for the top-tier room."

Why not choose a property with a good land code? That would be nice and save you some money!

We don't have much money right now, so we can't be extravagant.

Han Zixuan was exhausted and didn't want to waste her energy in this room.

He then pulled out another five hundred taels from his pocket.

"Don't worry, I'm not short of money!" Can I rest for a bit first?

Ji Xiao immediately perked up, "Sister Zixuan, you're like my own sister!"

"Little Sister, three top-class rooms." The previous predicament was completely gone.

Ah Da quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Your Majesty, I'll just stay in the dormitory-style room!"

A dormitory-style room is the lowest-class accommodation where a dozen or twenty people live in one room.

Ah Da felt that she was just a coachman, how could she possibly share a room with the mistress, the lady of the house?

She earns 800 coins a day, which means she only makes two taels of silver a month.

Ji Xiao waved her hand, "Alright, everything's booked. Do you think I'd shortchange you on your accommodation?"

Alright, the most important thing now is to tidy up properly.

"Have a good meal, then you'll need to go out and buy a new carriage!"

Ah Da nodded blankly, "Okay...okay, Your Majesty, Ah Da understands!"

The second young lady was overjoyed when she saw the silver coins that Ji Xiao had slapped on the table.

"There are three top-tier rooms. Stay for a month. Use these to buy us some suitable clothes!"

The rest is your reward!

He was so arrogant that he immediately forgot about how he had been stingy with two hundred coins.

The second maid responded enthusiastically, "Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely arrange everything properly for you!"

I thought he was a beggar, but he turned out to be a wealthy man who kept a low profile.

Finally, she lay down in the bathtub, surrounded by steam, with only her head sticking out as she rested against the edge of the tub.

My shattered mind relaxed for a moment.

He took two drops of spiritual spring water from his spatial storage to accelerate his body's recovery!
