Chapter 897 (Vol 3) – You Just Rest, I’ll Keep Watch!
Yang Jing finally nodded slightly.
"Th-then...could I take a bath first?"
Gathering courage finally, Yang Jing whispered with some anticipation. Her gaze scanned Ling Tian and then the inn owner.
"Of course!" The inn owner nodded and immediately called out, "Dear! I need your help!"
Within seconds, a middle-aged woman came out from the room behind the counter.
"What is it, honey?" The middle-aged woman asked somewhat confused.
"Could you help her take a bath while I prepare dinner? Shes very weak and I think she could use some help..." The inn owner pointed at Yang Jing.
Although Yang Jing was trying to stay strong, her appearance still couldnt hide the tiredness and fatigue on her, especially on her face.
"Oh, my sweet girl!" The middle-aged woman, presumably the wife of the inn owner, exclaimed with concern at the sight of Yang Jing.
"Come with me! Ill take you to the room so you can take a bath!"
"Thank you..."
Yang Jing followed the inn owner wife, taking one last glance at Ling Tian before heading up the stairs.
"How much would the cost of everything be?" Ling Tian looked at the inn owner.
"Ah?" The inn owner was stunned before quickly replying, "Two rooms, plus dinner and use of the room for personal grooming... that would be 20 spirit stones!"
Ling Tian looked at the inn owner for a few seconds, sending shivers down his spine. His spirit sense quickly picked up a small plaque at the entrance, where some prices of the place came.
Ling Tian smiled faintly and raised his hand, placing a small storage bag on the counter.
This place on the first floor looked like a dining room, with several tables and chairs placed around it. The bar was in the middle, with some wines and beers behind the counter, while another spacious room were behind the bar, probably the kitchen and other rooms.
Stairs started from one side of the dining room inside the inn, going up to the second and third floors, where the sleeping rooms were.
"Th-this..." The inn owner looked at the storage bag and his pupils shrunk in fear, not daring to take it.
"Any problem?" Ling Tian asked.
"N-no..." The middle-aged man shook his head in fright before replying, "I-Its just that this is too valuable... I cant accept it!"
A storage bag was too expensive!
Even with thousands of spirit stones it couldnt be easily obtained!
"Alright, take it!"
Ling Tian waved his hand and casually chose one of the chairs to sit on. His spirit sense had more or less grasped the price of the inn, and although copper, silver and gold coins would be used in this kind of place in addition to the spirit stones, the inn owner apparently did not increase the original price to them despite being travelers, he even lowered it a little.
The inn owner was stunned. His hands shook and after struggling for a long time he finally took the small storage bag. His spirit sense scanned the inside out of curiosity and was surprised to see that there were 20 spiritual crystals!
"This..." The inn owner was stunned, not knowing what to do.
There were not 20 spirit stones, but spiritual crystals!
If they were converted, it was practically 200 spirit stones!
The inn owner thought Ling Tian had only paid with the storage bag, which could pay for up to several years of lodging with this!
The inn owner did not know what to do.
Ling Tian closed his eyes, waiting for Yang Jing to finish bathing.
Suddenly, Ling Tian frowned as he realized that Yang Jing didnt have any clean clothes to wear, much less did she have any storage bags or rings.
"Enjoy!"
The inn owner came out of the kitchen and placed several dishes on the table before respectfully retreating.
The food looked delicious and very appetizing, enough to break down Yang Jings defenses and force her to eat without being able to resist.
"Go ahead and eat."
Ling Tian said and immediately grabbed a plate of food, beginning to eat leisurely.
Yang Jing watched him and after a few seconds she took a plate of food.
"Thank you for the food..." Yang Jing whispered.
The food was quickly gobbled up, leaving no leftovers to go to waste.
Yang Jing ate enough dinner, feeling like she was finally regaining some of her missing strength.
"Sir, the bathing room is available if you wish!" The inn owners wife approached Ling Tian and said with a smile.
"Its okay, its not necessary..." Ling Tian shook his head with a small smile.
With his cultivation level, he could cast various spells, from water to wind to clean up himself in mere seconds if necessary.
However, as long as one achieves even higher cultivation, the body becomes purer and therefore, there is no problem in not bathing for a long time. Impurities are removed from the body with each breakthrough, so there is no bad odor or dirt in the body in a short time.
Especially Ling Tian; after refining his body to this point, one step from reaching the peak and trying to build an immortal body, the impurities in his body is much less than ordinary cultivators. Ling Tian could go months and even a few years without taking a bath, and still, there would be no bad odor in his body.
The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures were also influential, keeping his body fresher and cleaner while still absorbing the spiritual aura.
The inn owners wife was surprised, but quickly nodded. She understood that Ling Tian could be a powerful cultivator and the basic needs of the human body were no longer common to him. She also returned the leftover clothes that Yang Jing had not worn to Ling Tian.
"Your rooms are ready, they are the last two on the second floor, at the end of the corridor on the left hand side." The inn owners wife added and finally said goodbye with a respectful smile.
"Thank you."
Ling Tian stood up and thanked the inn owner and his wife as he headed up the stairs with Yang Jing following behind him.
"This is your room, this is mine. You just rest, Ill keep watch."
Ling Tian pointed to the rooms before giving Yang Jing a glance full of reassurance, then entering the room next door.
Yang Jing stood silently, watching Ling Tian enter the side room.
After a few seconds, she finally entered and locked the door.
Yang Jing looked around the room, which was clean and tidy, and finally she sat down on the bed.
Next to the bed was the window, so Yang Jings gaze couldnt help but notice the moon and stars shining in the dark sky. Her gaze lingered for quite a while outside through the window.
"Brother... sister..."
Yang Jing whispered worriedly. What she was most concerned about was not her own life or well-being, but that of her big brother and her new sister, knowing that Xiao Chen and Ziu Momo should be very worried about her.
Yang Jings gaze withdrew from the window, then looked at the wall opposite.
Behind that wall, was Ling Tians room.
Although Yang Jing was unaware of Ling Tians true hidden intentions, she hoped that this separation would not be that long.
Yang Jing stayed watching for a while before going to bed, her mind filled with countless thoughts and questions.
Unknowingly, Yang Jing fell asleep, entering the land of dreams.
