Xiaobai's Love in Another World

Chapter 439 Staying in the hotel
The sound of banging on the table was deafening, and the boss was startled and opened one of the eyes on his head.

He wasn't tall; when he stood up from his chair, only half of his face could be seen across the 1.5-meter-high counter.

But what does it matter? In an instant, her small and agile body appeared in front of them.

"How many guests are there? Are you staying at the hotel or dining out?"

The one speaking to them was the dark-faced man, who stood in front of them with a grin, only half their height.

"Check in," Bai Lingshan tentatively asked, her eyes filled with caution towards this strange fellow.

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment."

The boss with two heads was otherwise normal, except for having an extra head. He was dressed appropriately in a black and white long robe and spoke in a language she could understand.

Then look at the sleeping white-faced man; the difference between the two lies in their colors. The black-faced man with white hair has his chest down, while the white-faced man with black hair has his back down.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on the white-faced man snoring loudly.

"Ah Tao, someone's checking into the inn."

Seeing that the white-faced man was sleeping soundly, the black-faced man launched a head attack. In the instant his whole body swayed towards the white-faced man, the white-faced man opened his eyes groggily.

But the next second, the pale-faced man pulled them back half a meter, his demeanor furtive: "Ah Ci! They're going to rob us again!"

His face darkened, and he slapped him hard across the face again.

The pale-faced man was completely sober.

"Look carefully, it's for checking into a hotel!"

"Looking for a hotel!"

The pale-faced man chuckled and turned to reach the wooden abacus on the counter. “Stay-in is settled daily. A top-tier room costs 15 magic crystals per day, while a regular room costs 10 magic crystals. Meals cost 3 magic crystals, and drinks cost 1 magic crystal. It’s settled per meal.”

Bai Lingshan remained calm, her gaze shifting from the abacus beads he was fiddling with to the whiteboard dominated by cabbages.

The sharp-eyed dark-faced man immediately chimed in, "That menu features our local specialties, dishes we learned from our cross-border tribe!"

Before he could finish speaking, the abacus in the pale-faced man's hand slammed into his forehead.

"Nonsense! Who likes human food? This guest, we have all kinds of famous dishes here, from snakes, insects and mushrooms to animal meat, skin and bones."

"What's wrong with the food in the human realm! The food in the human realm is unique here!" The dark-faced man was furious, and the place where he had been hit by the abacus was now covered in bumps.

The white-faced man arrogantly raised his head, and the two heads, which were the same size, insisted on comparing their size.

Bai Lingshan and her companions were new to the inn and couldn't do anything for them: "I just need to stay here."

With these words, the contest between the two heads came to an end.

The pale-faced man asked, "What kind of room does the guest plan to stay in?"

The stern-faced man regained his good temper: "The top-tier room is a bit bigger, while the regular rooms are a bit smaller."

But you'll have to see it for yourself to know exactly how big or small it is.

Following this strange fellow, she looked at both types of rooms in turn, and considering the supplies she had brought, she chose the so-called "Top-Tier Room No. 1".

"Then we'll take our time and not disturb you any longer."

After watching her boss leave, Bai Lingshan looked around the room, which was about the size of her bedroom.

A bed, a table, and three stools—simple yet elegant.

Outside the room, a yellow bell hangs on the corner of the sign for Room No. 1, which makes a clear ringing sound when someone passes by.

She walked to the window to check outside. As she opened the window, blue snowflakes blew into the room due to inertia. Bai Lingshan closed the window and opened the oil-paper umbrella where the goods were stored.

Seeing this, the kitten jumped out of the mirror's arms, transformed into human form, and stopped her.

She asked her curiously why, but the kitten said not to rush.

Even if there is no immediate danger upon arrival, one should still be cautious, especially with food and water. Poisoning the food and water provided by someone with malicious intent could cause serious trouble.

The sky here is similar to that of the Jing Kingdom; there is no day or night, only a dark sky with a large, white moon hanging in it. There are no timekeeping devices like the potted plants in the Jing Kingdom to indicate the current time. When bored, she opens the window to look at the snow, and discovers that the snow is not continuous.

When a person's biological clock is regular, even without time reminders, the body will still feel tired when it should be resting.

Bai Lingshan opened the oil-paper umbrella beside her and had Xinghu Xiaomi set up a protective shield, ensuring the safety of the goods piled against the wall.

Entering a dream, then waking up.

I don't know how much time has passed.

She tidied the bedding and went to Jingying, who was watching the snow from the window.

"Master, the snow has changed color."

Bai Lingshan peeked out, and the originally blue snow mixed with red, turning into purple snow.

The purple snow obscured the brightness of the blue snow-covered sky, and the sky darkened as well.

"I noticed that the snow would stop for a while every now and then, and I don't know how many times it stopped, but when it started snowing again, the color of the snow had changed."

Bai Lingshan stared at the snow for a while, then walked to where the instant noodle box was placed: "Close the window, I'm going to eat."

"understood."

With a creak as the window closed, the Book of Falling Feathers appeared in the room.

She poured water into the small pot where the support bracket was placed, and the spell "Flying Fang" changed to "Blazing Inferno".

With a little heat, the water in the small pot boiled quickly.

"The Blazing Inferno is still very useful," unlike in the Kingdom of Jing, where even roasting a sweet potato is difficult...

Indeed, the Jing Kingdom is powered by the power of the Golden Talisman, and fire overcomes metal, so the use of fire should definitely be prohibited.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Mirror's loud voice brought her back to her senses, and she quickly tore open a packet and put it in along the edge of the pot.

"Aren't you going to add any seasoning?"

Mirror Shadow called out again, her hand, which hadn't yet reached for the seasoning packet, stopping abruptly: "Why are you in such a hurry than I am? Do you want some?"

Mirror Image coughed a few times, straightened up, and used her sleeve to cover the lower half of her face: "Why would a spirit like me eat noodles?"

"Oh."

If I remember correctly, there were a few girls in their dorm who loved noodles. When the mirror image became her and went to school in her place, she naturally received a lot of "hospitality" from her enthusiastic and hospitable classmates.

Instant noodles, especially when you're extremely hungry, can be considered a delicacy.

Thinking about it, Bai Lingshan lowered her head in embarrassment. This was the only way she could comfort herself after living on instant noodles for the past six months.

After finishing her meal and washing the dishes, she took out the "umbrella" containing her stockpiled goods and prepared to go downstairs to ask the owner some questions about the time system here, so that she would know when six months here meant.

She had only gone halfway down the stairs when she saw the shop was full of seated customers.

The two-headed boss was calling out to the shop's "waiters" to keep them from slacking off.

Bai Lingshan walked cautiously along the wall, afraid of bumping into the guests and staff.

What can I do for you, sir?

"Business is really good." It wasn't like this when she first arrived.

Black-faced Ah Ci laughed heartily, grabbed her sleeve, and led her to the door.

Outside the door, purple snowflakes fluttered, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

"You're new here, aren't you? Every time the purple snow falls, the people living here love to go out. We're the only inn around here, and you know how it is when you're out and about, you naturally need to eat."
