Chapter 1027: Rip-Off
After fortification with a diamond talisman, her hands were as solid as steel, and they directly snapped the two black hawks’ heads with a crack.
“Eldest Crown Prince, Third Crown Prince!!!”
Following this, the two crown princes of the Eastern Ying Kingdom also plummeted towards the ground along with their hawks.
Qiao Mu then patted her small, fair hands as she swept a frigid glance at the plummeting Eastern Ying Kingdom people.
“You have to pay for your loose tongue.”
Little Sixth Zheng twitched his mouth silently.
That’s right. With the crown prince consort’s vengeful temper, that Eldest Crown Prince of the Eastern Ying Kingdom naturally had to lose at least half of his life for obscenely taking liberties with her.
“Reportedly, the Eastern Ying Kingdom previously had a Second Crown Prince. Because his mother was the queen, he had the strongest backing, but he was secretly poisoned to death in a struggle a year ago.”
Qiao Mu merely pursed her lips noncommittally.
She simply wasn’t interested in knowing this.
After steering the war hawk into descent, Qiao Mu examined the surroundings. Seeing that that group of people from the Eastern Ying Kingdom weren’t there to disgust her, her mood turned a bit better.
“Let’s go.” Little Sixth Zheng and the rest had also landed beside her.
After the war hawks rested here for a bit, they would naturally fly back to Northern Mo by themselves as per their training. Hence, they didn’t need to worry about this.
At present, this place where they were located at was one of the two adventurer bases in a 2500-kilometer radius of the Mystic Beast Forest.
The other adventurer base was located several thousand kilometers away on the other end of the Mystic Beast Forest, near the western region. There was definitely no way of getting there at present.
When Qiao Mu and her party walked up to the adventurer base, they could see from afar a file of people patrolling back and forth before the gate.
There were also four to five base guards keeping watch inside the battle towers on the two sides.
Qiao Mu and the rest were courteously stopped at the gate.
“Guests from afar, to enter our adventurer base, you must first check in and pay a certain fee.”
Qiao Mu and the rest nodded in understanding.
Afterall, it was only natural to abide by the local customs. There was nothing to say about it, so they sent out a person to register and pay the fees.
As Fan Qiuming possessed the air of a scholar, everyone sent him to check in and negotiate.
Before long, Fan Qiuming ran over with an awkward expression. He rubbed his hands and informed, “To check in, every person needs to pay one dou of grain.”
“One dou??”
F*ck, what kind of lousy adventurer base was this? They were demanding too exorbitant of a price!
One dou of grain was a full 10 liters. It was sufficient to feed a normal family for a month, okay?
They had to pay so much when they were just entering this adventurer base to rest for at most two nights! This adventurer base was so greedy, simply devouring a man without spitting out the bones!
“Little Sixth, I’ll pay for you!” After saying this, Qiao Mu followed that smiling base guide.
“What kind of good treatment is there?”
“If this miss can pay three dou of grain, you can stay in a luxurious court for free, for three days.”
“Okay.”
“Hey, Miss, over here! You check in here.” Feeling that Qiao Mu had led him astray, the base guide gestured to her with a chuckle.
Yet the next second, a small fist resiliently bashed his chubby face.
This old bloke thought she was a blockhead in money matters? Did she look that easy to fleece?
After a bit of light exercise, the base guide sullenly bore his pain and completed the procedures for a free stay for this little devil.
While holding the tablet to the court, Qiao Mu paced quickly to Little Sixth Zheng. “Little Sixth, let’s go!”
“How about us?”
“Pay yourselves!” Qiao Mu called Little Sixth along and left without turning her head.
