She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement by Emperor's Song

1070 Five Lake Street, The Shabby Tavern

One of them looked reserved and taciturn, but it was difficult to hide his arrogance. The other was gorgeously

dressed, handsome, and noble.

Their temperament and dressing were out of place on this street.

This street was called Five Lake Street. The people living on this street were all illegals and paupers from all over

the world.

Most of the local residents here were dressed in a slovenly manner and were all wearing black down jackets. Even if

they took off their down jackets, the sweaters inside were still black. This was because they were illegals who were

engaged in the dirtiest and lowest job, so the warm and dirt-resistant black down jacket became their best choice.

Donor’s noble and gorgeous clothes betrayed their identity as ‘outsiders’.

Besides, as a person with wings on his back, he was an elf.

The elves of the Cang Lang Continent had long gone extinct thousands of years ago, so this elf who suddenly

appeared here was most likely an ascender who had transmigrated from another world.

If he was an ascender, then he was a Beast Tamer.

It was even more unbelievable that a Beast Tamer would come to Five Lakes Street.

The group of people who were doing the lowest level of hard work looked at the elegant Sheng Xiao and Donor with

baffled and envious expressions.

While they were sizing up Donor and Sheng Xiao, Donor was also sizing up the tavern. The tavern was very old and

colorful lights decorated the colorful old walls. It looked shabby and backward.

This formed a strong contrast with the prosperous Central Continent.

So there were also poor people on the Cang Lang Continent.

Seeing this, Donor suddenly felt confident.

Sheng Xiao brought Donor to the front desk and asked the man who was both the owner and the bartender, “Hello,

how can we get to Ice River Hotel?”

The owner had a full beard and was wearing a black down jacket. His bright black eyes were like sunlight that

suddenly shone on a coal mine that had been hidden underground for tens of thousands of years.

The owner pointed at the table under him and said, “This is it.”

Sheng Xiao was shocked.

This was Ice River Hotel?

Before entering the tavern, Sheng Xiao had seen the name of the tavern, so he said, “When I was outside the door

just now, I saw that the name of this tavern is Ice Rock… Hotel.” Then, Sheng Xiao smiled and said, “Sir, the

signboard of your shop is missing a few corners. Aren’t you going to make another signboard?”

Hearing this, the owner stared at Sheng Xiao seriously.

After a long while, the owner laughed and said, “Everyone who lives on this land knows my shop. People with noble

statuses like you guys usually won’t set foot on Five Lake Street at all.” The owner pointed at the customers who

were partying and drinking in the tavern as he said, “Our customers are usually people like them.”

So whether this signboard was hung up or not made no difference.

Sheng Xiao nodded in understanding.

He asked the owner, “Is there another room?”

The owner took out a pile of keys from the drawer and said to Sheng Xiao, “If you really want to stay here, I can

show you.”

“Thank you.”

“Come on.”

When the owner walked out from behind the bar, Sheng Xiao realized that there was a pair of metal prosthetics

under his long down jacket.

When the owner noticed Sheng Xiao and Donor’s gazes, he patted his leg with a smile and said, “It was cut off.”

Sheng Xiao wasn’t interested in other people’s privacy, so he nodded and followed the owner in silence. He thought

that the hotel room was upstairs, but the owner pushed open a door at the back of the tavern and brought them in.

Sheng Xiao realized that it was a courtyard surrounded by low houses. The houses were flat and the walls were

painted with all kinds of murals.

There were stairs leading up to the roof.

“This is my courtyard.” The owner stood under the pear blossom tree in the middle of the courtyard as he said,

“There are a total of six rooms here. My daughter and I each stay in one. There are still four rooms left. How many

rooms do you need?”

Sheng Xiao pondered for a moment and said, “Exactly four rooms.”

“That’s quite a coincidence.” The owner opened the first room on the west side of the courtyard with the key.

Unexpectedly, although the room wasn’t big and the interior furnishings were very simple, it was very clean and

had a faint perfume smell. On the big bed in the room, there were light yellow dandelion sheets.

This place didn’t look like a hotel, but more like a personal room.

To Donor, who was used to staying in star-rated hotels, this room was too shabby and simple, but at least the

environment was clean.

They had just entered a foreign land and were penniless, so they were lucky to find a clean hotel. Donor had no

objections and didn’t dare to either. Donor said to Sheng Xiao, “Not bad.”

After Sheng Xiao looked around the other rooms, he was satisfied and asked the owner, “How much is the room

rate?”

The owner said, “It depends on how long you want to stay. The longer you stay, the more cost-effective it will be.

The fee for a room here is 200 continental coins per night. If you want to stay here for the month, the monthly rent

is 4,000 continental coins. The annual rent is 40,000 continental coins.”

Continent coins.

Sheng Xiao didn’t know what the conversion rate for continental coins was, but since Xiao Ya said that this was the

cheapest hotel in the entire Central Continent, the boss must have offered the best price.

And they, who were short of money, really didn’t have the conditions to live in a better place.

They were new here, so they might not be able to buy a house successfully. Renting for a month was the most cost-

effective way. “We’ll rent for a month.”

The owner grinned and shouted, “Naris, we have guests. Prepare dinner!”

“Okay!”

A young female voice came from the house on the north side of the small courtyard and gave off a feeling of

vivacity.

Sheng Xiao frowned when he heard the woman’s voice and a hint of confusion flashed across his eyes.

The owner noticed that Sheng Xiao was looking at the room in the middle. He said, “That’s my daughter, Naris.

She’s an outstanding perfumer. She made the perfume you guys smell.” The owner’s eyes lit up at the mention of

his daughter. He couldn’t hide his pride.

Sheng Xiao nodded. “Sorry to disturb you for the next month.”

The money was with Yu Huang, so Sheng Xiao asked Donor to bring Yu Huang and the others over.

After seeing the owner and finding out that the monthly rent for each room was 4,000 continent coins, Yu Huang

gave Yin Rong, who was the most eloquent one, a hinting look.

After receiving Yu Huang’s hint, Yin Rong walked out and asked the owner with a gentle smile, “Sir, how many

continent coins is a spirit stone worth?” If the owner wanted to scam them, who were outsiders, this was the best

time.

The owner said, “One spirit stone is equivalent to a thousand continent coins.”

Yin Rong looked at Yu Huang with a questioning gaze.

Yu Huang nodded at her.

Long before she entered the tavern, Yu Huang had asked Xiao Ya about the conversion rate between the spirit

stones and currencies of the Cang Lang Continent.

One spirit stone was indeed equivalent to a thousand continent coins.

This boss was quite an honest person.
