Millennium Tension

Chapter 43: Cozy Inn



'So where are we going now?' Ana asked in her mind after entering the city called Spring Root City, the name of the city that was written in the archway shortly after they left the examination room.

Aizen checks his surroundings and uses a system to further examine the state of the city. The city is currently quite crowded because many cultivators from various places are waiting for tomorrow with a lot of preparation.

'The city looks crowded, we better find the inn first.'

Aizen, Ana. and Axel went to an area near the suburbs to look for lodging. They do not like the crowds of people who now make the city center feel crowded.

Their journey to the outskirts of the city received a lot of attention from pedestrians, but none of them dared to block the path of Aizen and his two girls who were dressed as if they had very high status.

At the moment the three of them are in front of the inn called 'Cozy Inn', a medium-sized place that looks like it has a simple building with two floors.

'Are we going to stay here?'

Ana already knew that Aizen did not like crowded places in the center of the city, and it was likely that the luxury lodgings there were full. But she couldn't help asking after seeing Aizen who looked at the inn's signboard with a strange look.

'Yeah, we're gonna stay here. I just feel weird after updating my language, now I can see Aqonica, the common language in Zavier as English. Let's go in.'

Aizen actually detected the inn as a whole and found it strange because there were only 12 rooms, a kitchen, a lobby and a dining area. Not to mention the inhabitants at this time there were only two people who were in [Rank 3] and the other one was still in [Rank 0].

The three of them entered into the 'Cozy Inn' which has an interior that is no less simple with the appearance of the building from the outside. They seemed to deliberately make this inn feel like a house.

"Welcome to our inn, how can I help you?"

A middle-aged woman dressed in green greeted them from a simple reception desk with stacks of paper and ink pens on it.

"Um. We want to book a room for today's stay, is it available?" Aizen approaches the reception desk and goes straight to their destination point.

The middle-aged woman smiled, pleased with her first guest. The city will now have many cultivators staying overnight, but this inn still doesn't have any guests until now.

"Thank you for choosing 'Cozy Inn' as your choice of lodging. You can call me Mrs. Han. Next, how many rooms will be booked and how long will you stay?" Ms. Han still with a friendly smile.

"We will rent three rooms for one night." Aizen answered lightly.

"Wha more than that... What, how could you do that, Brother Aizen." Ana looked surprised, even Axel also looked at him with question eyes. The three of them always slept together and shared warmth, but this time he wanted to make them sleep in each separate room?

Aizen turned his head to look at Ana who looked surprised, even Axel too.

'What's wrong with that, we need to keep the two rooms next to our rooms empty just in case.' Aizen calms them down through their connected minds, Ana and Axel don't seem to realize where the actions Aizen is taking.

Hearing Aizen's answer seemed to make Ana and Axel feel relieved. The two of them seemed to have a mutual agreement to follow all Aizen's decisions as long as they always did it together.

Aizen looked back at Ms. Han who has a wider smile than before.

"Hehe. It's good to be young. Three rooms, right? You can choose the room you want. You are the first guest at our inn right now. Do you want to have dinner and breakfast here too?"

Ms. Han giggled a little as she was watching a young man and his two girls who seemed to have high status only because of their dress code and high profile aura, even though they were wearing half-face masks and veils.

"Yes, we will take 3 rooms on the 2nd floor with a complete package."

"Then everything becomes 6 low tier spirit coins for 3 rooms and stay overnight with dinner and breakfast. On whose behalf will I write?" Ms. Han understood what Aizen meant, and immediately made a visitor note. She actually gives a discount to her first guest and only asks for half of the original price.

"Aizen." Aizen lightly mentioned his name while giving the coin in question from [Space Storage], while Ms. Han thinks of it as a pseudonym and ignores it because she only needs a name to refer to her visitors.

"Little Xiao! Can you take our guest to rooms 7,8 and 9 on the second floor?" After receiving payment, Ms. Han spoke rather loudly towards the kitchen, right behind her.

"Yes, mom!"

An adorable little girl's voice came from the kitchen, she immediately trotting to her mother with her tiny feet. A 12-year-old girl came to help her mother.

"Here's the key. Please take our guest to their room, ok?" Ms. Han warmly stroked her young daughter's hair while giving the key.

"Um!" Little Xiao was excited and excited to help.

Previously, she in the kitchen was looking at her father who was cooking and tasting some of his dishes while helping some things that could be helped if needed, sometimes the kitchen could be a dangerous place for her if her father was focusing on cooking.

"Woah! Big Brother, Big Sisters. You are so amazing and so beautiful, you must be great cultivators, right? One day I want to be like you to maintain the peace of the city!" Little Xiao was excited to greet Aizen, Ana, and Axel. She has aspirations to become a strong cultivator to protect her beloved family and her peaceful city.

"Hehe. Is that so? Then you need to practice seriously and work hard for it. Accept this, just think of it as a gift from us. It's just that, if you've become a great cultivator, make sure you don't stray from your path. Just stay in the path you've always believed in."

Aizen who saw the cheerful smile of the girl called little Xiao seemed to remember Ana's childhood who had said something similar that she wanted to be like him. He also gave 5 low tier spirit coins and advice that sounded quite deep even to Ms. Han who was watching from the side.

Little Xiao accepted the coins with her small hand. "Thank you Big Brother, may you always be blessed... Now follow me, I will take you to the room." She then walked to the second floor and was followed by the three guests who had booked a room.

Ms. Han who was also rather surprised to see Aizen who generously gave 5 low tier spirit coins without hesitation just because he heard a short greeting from her daughter could only pray that grace and kindness always come to Aizen and his group.

Most cultivators are selfish people, and generous people are very rare.

"Big Brother, Big Sisters. This is your room! Dinner will be served at 6 o'clock in the dining room. Or do you want to be delivered to the room?" Little Xiao didn't forget to offer after dropping into their room.

"Um. Thank you, Little Xiao. We will come to the dining room." This time Axel answered.

"Then see you later. I'll help dad cook in the kitchen." Little Xiao waved his hand and trotting away, she was so diligent.

Aizen is happy right now, based on Axel's previous data on Zavier, almost all cities have the law and order to maintain the city.

While almost every city strictly forbids commotion and violence in the city, and that's why the smile of the younger generation is maintained and protected in the city.

Unfortunately, it's only limited within the city that applies it, no more than that, and not to mention the outside world...

'Let's go to the room. We need to discuss a few things and dig up some information.'

Aizen murmured lightly in his mind before entering room number eight in the middle with the array key given by Little Xiao while keeping the other two rooms empty, Ana and Axel just following him to the same room.
