Chapter 350 Living in a Black Shop
"Shopkeeper, wait a moment!"
Xiao Wanwan spoke to stop the brocade robe shopkeeper who was about to turn around and leave.
She stood up and walked quickly to the shopkeeper, raised her head slightly, and said seriously:
"I want to ask you something."
After hearing Xiao Wanwan's words, the brocade robe shopkeeper immediately stopped, turned around, and a warm smile instantly appeared on his face.
He responded gently, "Little girl, please speak up. As long as it's something I know, I will tell you everything I know."
Xiao Wanwan nodded gently and smiled politely.
"Master, do you know how far it is from here to Brahma Academy?"
"Brahma Academy?"
When the brocade robe shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart.
Could it be that this little girl in front of me is from the famous Brahma Academy?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Wanwan again.
From the outside, apart from her outstanding temperament, there is really nothing special about her.
However, considering that she was able to take out the extremely precious fourth-grade breakthrough pill so easily before, everything seemed to make sense.
Although his mind was full of various speculations, the brocade robe shopkeeper still controlled his emotions and expressions well, and did not rashly ask Xiao Wanwan about her specific identity.
He thought for a moment, then replied with a smile.
"Little girl, the Luohua City where we are is more than 8,000 miles away from the Brahma Academy.
If you want to go to Brahma College, just go south from here.
You will pass through many towns and villages along the way, so you won’t feel too lonely along the way.
It's just that the journey is long, so I hope the little girl will be careful."
"Go...south?"
Xiao Wanwan widened her eyes in astonishment, swallowed involuntarily, and wailed in her heart.
Oh my God, what a sin!
It turned out that she ran all day and night with sparks and lightning, and actually went in the opposite direction.
At this moment, Xiao Wanwan felt so sad that she couldn't even cry!
"Yes, go south!"
The brocade-robed shopkeeper looked at Xiao Wanwan with some surprise, and the expression on her face was indescribable.
"Little girl, is there anything wrong?"
"No...no!"
Xiao Wanwan smiled awkwardly and waved her hands repeatedly.
She couldn't tell others that she had traveled for a day and a night and ended up going in the wrong direction.
Doesn't she want to lose face?
"Since everything is alright, I'll go prepare the immortal stones."
The brocade-robed shopkeeper nodded politely to her and turned to go to the backyard.
After all, one hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones is not a small amount, and he cannot take it out easily.
"it is good!"
Xiao Wanwan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the spiritual tea to hide her embarrassment.
Seeing the brocade robe shopkeeper leave, Xiao Wanwan drooped her shoulders and leaned listlessly on the chair.
Now she wanted to slap herself hard a few times.
So stupid!
Thinking that she was still more than 8,000 miles away from Brahma Academy, Xiao Wanwan felt like she had no desire to live.
As for her, it will take a long time to come.
After a while, the shopkeeper in brocade robe came out with a storage bag in his hand.
He placed the storage bag on the small table next to Xiao Wanwan, then said with a smile.
"Little girl, this is one hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones. You can count them."
"No need, I trust the shopkeeper!"
Xiao Wanwan put away the storage bag nonchalantly, then stood up and spoke to the brocade robe shopkeeper.
"I have to hurry, bye!"
"Walk slowly!"
The brocade robe shopkeeper politely escorted Xiao Wanwan to the door and stood at the door watching her walk away.
Xiao Wanwan came out of the Yibao Pavilion and saw that it was already dark.
She thought to herself and decided to find an inn to stay first, and then rush to Brahma College early tomorrow morning.
She wandered alone on the busy street, her eyes constantly searching everywhere.
After a long search, I finally found an antique inn deep in a quiet and remote alley.
Xiao Wanwan raised her foot and strode quickly into the door of the inn.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw an extremely fat woman lying on the counter at the door.
The woman was dozing lazily and was unaware of the new guest.
It was not until Xiao Wanwan came closer that the light footsteps caught the woman's attention.
She only moved her body slightly, not even bothering to raise her head.
She asked in a gruff voice, a tone that seemed a bit impatient: "Want to stay at the hotel?"
Hearing this cold question, Xiao Wanwan was stunned for a moment.
The inn in front of me feels like it doesn't welcome guests at all.
But it was already late, and she had nowhere else to go, so she had to bite the bullet and answer, "Uh... yes."
Seeing that Xiao Wanwan really wanted to stay in the hotel, the woman at the counter still didn't look up.
She slowly stretched out a chubby hand and slammed the doorplate heavily on the counter with a "slap" sound, muttering:
"Room No. 2, Tianzi, go upstairs and turn right! Twenty low-grade immortal stones."
After saying that, he lay back on the counter and continued to doze off.
Seeing the woman's casual and indifferent behavior, Xiao Wanwan was completely stunned.
She never thought that she would encounter such a strange shop owner.
According to common sense, shouldn't people doing business greet guests with a smile and treat them warmly?
But the proprietress did the exact opposite and seemed to be full of resistance to the arrival of the guests.
But now that things have come to this, Xiao Wanwan can't say anything more.
She silently took out twenty low-grade immortal stones and placed them gently on the counter, then picked up the doorplate and turned to walk upstairs.
Xiao Wanwan walked into the guest room and took a casual look around. It was quite clean and tidy.
She had been traveling for a whole day and night and was very tired.
Xiao Wanwan lay directly on the bed and immersed her consciousness into the sea of knowledge.
Seeing that the ancient sword did not move, she withdrew her consciousness and closed her eyes to rest.
Before she knew it, Xiao Wanwan fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Wanwan, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes.
It was already late at night and the guest room was plunged into darkness.
However, Xiao Wanwan could clearly see a figure standing in front of her bed.
"Who are you?"
She turned over in bed and looked at the figure in front of her warily.
"Hahaha... the little girl reacts pretty quickly."
The figure didn't expect Xiao Wanwan to wake up suddenly. Seeing her looking at him vigilantly, he couldn't help but sneer.
Xiao Wanwan stopped talking. She knew with just a little bit of thinking that she had checked into a shady shop.
"Little girl, are you going to follow me obediently, or do you want me to do it myself?"
The figure spoke in a hoarse voice, and looked at Xiao Wanwan as if he were looking at something in his pocket.
"I'll go with you!"
Xiao Wanwan realized that she was no match for the person in front of her, so she could only obey.
She was secretly worried, waiting for the man to let down his guard against her, and then she would look for an opportunity to escape.
"Hahahaha... you're lucky you knew what to do, so you don't have to suffer a beating!"
