Chapter 1578: What? Why Don’t You Go Rob Instead!

She wondered when Senior Brother Situ and them could get to Julu City.
Qiao Mu was sitting inside a restaurant called Deyi Inn and had ordered a meal for one: one bowl of egg noodles, one meat bun, and one portion of egg and veggie soup. Just these cost her five spirit currency.
It really was d*mn freakin’ expensive!
But she didn’t feel distressed spending someone else’s money, so whatever. Three hundred thousand spirit currency could last her awhile!
Reportedly, the cost of living in this city was very high, and there was also a monthly head tax to pay.
Paying one spirit currency upon entering the city did not mean you could set your mind at ease!
At the beginning of each month, you had to head to Babu Plaza of your own initiative to pay the tax for continuing to reside here.
Otherwise, if it was found out that your residence permit had expired, then it was possible that the penalty would cost your entire fortune. Or, you might get directly expelled from Julu City, never allowed to return for life.
Residing here each month cost a spirit currency, and you naturally wouldn’t get refunded if you stayed for less than a month.
When Qiao Mu entered, she didn’t pay any spirit currency, so she naturally wouldn’t have something like a residence permit.
But she was only staying over in the city for several days. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?
She just needed to wait until Senior Brother Situ and them came, and then they could discuss where to go.
*Ding-ding.* The wind chimes outside Deyi Inn were ringing, and its crisp notes resonated in the wind.
Qiao Mu had just picked up some noodles with her chopsticks, and had yet to put them in her mouth, when she saw someone jogging over to her exuberantly. The other party gave her a vigorous pat on the back. “Hey, it’s you!”
Qiao Mu turned around and saw a round pet.i.te face enter her field of view.
Her round face was paired with round eyes. The girl was close to her in age, yet her eyes kept staring at the noodles in her bowl. She even smacked her lips subconsciously.
Qiao Mu twitched her mouth. She recognized this kid as the round faced girl who had ridden the terrestrial whale with her earlier.
“Shopkeeper, another egg noodle here!”
“Alrighty!”
“Sit down and eat with me,” Qiao Mu said while pointing to the seat beside her.
“Ah? No need, no need. I, I had spent three months’ worth of food expenses to ride the terrestrial whale. I, I don’t have money to use on food for these three months.”
Qiao Mu’s hand that was holding her chopsticks paused, and her stoic face remained expressionless as she clarified, “I’m treating you, so sit down.”
“How could I possibly? How about this, after you finish the noodles, it’ll be enough for me to drink your leftover soup.” As the girl spoke, she peered at the snake head that was practically buried in the bowl of veggie soup next to her.
Hearing her speak, the snake raised its head and eyed her with its large watery eyes. Afterwards, it hastily lowered its head and coiled its small body protectively around its soup bowl as it slurped up all the soup.
Qiao Mu: …
The round-faced girl remarked with an awkward laugh, “Ha, ha, this little white snake of yours is very cute!”
Holy sh*t, a cold-blooded snake actually drank soup!
Afterwards, she seemed to have recalled something, and her pet.i.te face instantly froze.
What cute little white snake. At the city gate earlier, she had witnessed how its serpent form had used its tail to smack Fairy Liren into a pancake-face.
How was it cute. It was not cute at all. It was rather a bit brutal and malefic, alright!
“Miss, here is your bowl of egg noodles! It will be three spirit currency. Can Miss please pay for it first.” The shopkeeper personally fetched the bowl of noodles over with a smile.
“What? A bowl of egg noodles cost three spirit currency! Why don’t you go rob instead!”
The shopkeeper’s face immediately turned stern. “Miss, this humble shop has clearly indicated the price!”
