59 The Ruins 4

"Doufu Hua ah, where are we going to stay? The inns are all full, don't tell me that we have to stay on the streets" Zi Hua's eyebrows knitted together, disgruntled.

She hadn't taken that into account since she had Heaven-defying artifact as last resort and she usually only gets an inn to lessen the chances of it being found out, but Xue Lian was here and she can't let anyone know about Heaven-defying artifact.

How careless of her...

"Let's continue searching, there will definitely be one with vacant rooms" With so many inns due to the vast number of cultivators travelling regularly, there has to be some vacant rooms left.

However, they had underestimated the greed those powers had towards the ruins.

"Why aren't there any vacant rooms!?" Xue Lian plopped down onto the floor tiredly, they had gone around the entire city with no good results, power level: 10%, low battery.

Zi Hua pondered for a bit, she couldn't intrude on Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect since humans are after all, selfish creatures, she herself not exactly exempted from that fact, they would want some treasures for themselves.

If she stayed with them and she were to be found out that she found anything she would have to give it to Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect, she valued her principles and it would be quite shameless to be so thick-skinned as to intrude on them but not give any treasure.

It would be even worse if it was Deep Sky Dragon Sect.

The previous secretly introverted girl wasn't ready to put on such a shameless act... yet.

She still feels shame (except when it comes to desserts).

"We might as well set out camp then" They had brought some stuff for camp just in case they couldn't find a city to stay during the journey, that had proved to be useful now that they were in such a situation.

"Whaaattt! Noooo~ I want my nice bath" She hadn't bathed since yesterday and had wanted a nice relaxing bath with flower petals, she had specifically brought the flower petals in the city on the way.

"Then what else can we do?" Zi Hua shrugged helplessly.

"I guess I have no choice but to go to him for help" Xue Lian muttered reluctantly.

'Father and mother will get angry if they find out that I stayed at his place though'

"Him?" Zi Hua replied in confusion.

"Let's go to Rarity Dew Auction House" If she remembered correctly, he had left Mauve Merchant City to come here.

Zi Hua nodded and led her horse to follow Xue Lian.

When they arrived, they went in unobstructed, people could tell that such beautiful girls were of extra-ordinary background.

Something as superficial as beauty surprisingly makes good use.

Xue Lian found the branch manager and showed him a tablet, which the manager then courteously led them to the top floor.

"Esteemed personage, please enter" After saying that he left.

They opened the door to find a beautiful 'woman' with long silky black hair and the hair near his face neck length languidly laying on a couch.

"What brings you here?" The beautiful 'woman' asked.

"Qian Yang, I wouldn't come here if I didn't have a place to stay and I need some more money too" Well, she still had quite a bit of money but having more won't hurt.

"Didn't I already give you some before I left?"

"Hmph, it's almost gone" The 'woman' then casually threw a pouch towards Xue Lian.

"Thanks 'MISS Qian Yang'" Xue Lian stuck her tongue out cheekily.

Upon closer observation the beautiful 'woman' was actually a seductively feminine man.

He was clearly annoyed, so much to the point that veins could be seen on his forehead but as he was already used to it he didn't explode, it would be futile anyways, he's tried making her stop using that form of address multiple times previously but to no avail, so he could only ignore it as if she had never said that, she was technically saying that he's so beautiful that he could pass as a female anyways.

"Yeah, yeah, you can leave now, there's some rooms next to this one, just choose two with your friend, but not No.1, that's mine" His gaze stayed on Zi Hua for a moment before turning away to hide the ripples of emotion in his eyes and ushered them away.

Zi Hua then gave her thanks and left with Xue Lian.
