The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 28: Xuedong Port City
“In my opinion, this is a political issue that happened in the Jiang Empire. This is something big. Better calm yourself first in that port city.” The Black Spirit descended lower and changed its form into a beautiful woman after Jing Yang jumped to the ground.
On the coast. Jing Yang scrunched his forehead and grabbed his hair, “Teacher, I won't be able to sleep quietly if Grandma and Yueyue still have no clear news. They were both made slaves. This is so outrageous and makes me so angry!”
The Black Spirit stroked Jing Yang's hair and shuffled him, “Then from that, tonight calm yourself down. Tomorrow you decide for yourself. Find your Yueyue first or find Granny Xue Qinghua.”
Jing Yang tightened his teeth until it sounded then let out a long sigh. With an unsettled feeling. Jing Yang walked up the coastal stairs towards the outskirts of Xuedong City.
Before nightfall. Jing Yang looked at the townspeople who were walking together while enjoying the afternoon scenery on the outskirts of Xuedong City. The sunset and the warm light made Jing Yang rush to find an inn.
The gaze of the townspeople on her made Jing Yang feel uneasy. The clothes that Jing Yang was wearing did indeed come from the feathers of the Demon Beast. In addition to attracting attention. No one approached Jing Yang. Everyone kept their distance from him.
“This little kid's clothes look like a wild child.”.
“Is he a Vast Animal disguised as a human?”
“Concerting. We better report to the Red Snow Squad.”
Jing Yang did not pry into the slanted words of the residents who were staring at him. The Spirit of the Black One just kept silent and observed the surroundings while flying floating in the air.
After walking through the crowded city streets. Jing Yang arrived at a large inn. This inn has a wooden board that is gold and says ”Kelapa” Lodge which is written in capital letters.
“Looks like I can rest here..” Jing Yang muttered softly before entering the door of the Coconut Cottage Inn.
There was laughter and some rich people drinking. Jing Yang came in and was confronted by two sweet-looking female servants who looked frightened by five drunken men.
“Sorry, little boy. This is the Coconut Cottage Inn. Where to stay for people who are well off and have money.” The girl with tied hair looked at Jing Yang with a condescending look.
“In addition, look at your clothes that are so shabby like a Vast Animal. Don't come here. This is not where people ask for donations.” The other servant was cynically about to push Jing Yang's body.
“Is this enough?” Jing Yang took one sack of gold pieces from the Ring of Gods. The two maids immediately widened their eyes to see one sack containing the gold piece. The five men who were drunk also directly looked at Jing Yang seriously.
“This is excessive, Young Master..” The girl with tied hair smiled as sweetly as she could to Jing Yang.
“Welcome to Coconut Cottage Lodging. Our inn has thirty rooms. Rooms on the first floor, second floor and third floor have different rental prices. The first floor cost five gold pieces for one room. The second floor costs ten gold pieces and the third floor costs fifteen gold pieces for one room.” The other waiter immediately became friendly and changed his personality seeing Jing Yang.
“Man's basis, severe hais. Real bad. I can't comment anything.” The Black Spirit let out a long sigh looking at the two maids who turned friendly after Jing Yang took out a sack of gold pieces.
“I'll rent one room on the third floor. I'll order the most expensive meal at this inn.” Jing Yang gave thirty pieces of gold to the servant. Then he put the sack of gold back in the Ring of God.
The faces of the two maids were amazed to see the sack containing the gold piece disappear in an instant. Without waiting any longer. They both split the task.
“Young Master. Let me take you to the room you booked.” The girl with tied hair led Jing Yang towards the third floor of the inn.
Jing Yang felt the murderous lust of five drunk men. One of the men with the most luxurious clothes and looks that was like an official child threw two empty glasses towards Jing Yang.
“Jin Hou...” Jing Yang muttered softly. Instantly the Golden Ape King's hand caught the two glasses and threw them at the five drunken men.
The five men broke out in cold sweat as they could clearly see if Jing Yang did nothing.
Jing Yang did not care and simply walked following the girl who was escorting him towards the bedroom. Jing Yang looked at the face of the girl in cold sweat.
“May the facilities in this room suit the taste of Young Master.” The girl bowed and looked at Jing Yang for a moment before helping the other waitress to cook.
Jing Yang closed the door and laid his body on the bed, “Seven years old I did not sleep feeling this pleasure.”
The Black Spirit smiled faintly at Jing Yang's expression. However something was bothering him as the five men who were dealing with Jing Yang looked like they would not let go of Jing Yang so easily.
Right now the Black Spirit was advising Jing Yang to buy an outfit because the clothes Jing Yang was wearing were too conspicuous.
“Clothes?” Jing Yang stood up and stared out the window.
“Buy new clothes. Do I need to accompany you?” The Black Spirit still floated in the air and asked Jing Yang.
“No need, Teacher..” Jing Yang opened the door of the inn room and turned to look at the Spirit of the Black One, “Murids will buy their own clothes. Pupils do not want to trouble Master.”.
The Spirit of the Black One reddened his face and blushed shyly, “Don't be too formal to me, you stupid fool.”
The Black Spirit flew out of the inn room and walked ahead of Jing Yang. In the end the Black Spirit came along to enjoy the night atmosphere in Xuedong City.
‘At last Master joined..” Inner Jing Yang as he looked at the Spirit of the Black One flying beside him.
The night atmosphere in Xuedong City was quite lively. There are many residents who walk with their families to enjoy the beauty of the night in the port city. Along the way there are shops and restaurants. People passed by and greeted each other.
Jing Yang felt alone among those hundreds of passers-by. But the presence of the Black Spirit made Jing Yang calm down.
After walking for a long time. Jing Yang looked at one of the shops selling clothes. Jing Yang walked into the shop and looked at the clothes and robes that were hung.
“Little child. Our store is not a place for people to ask for donations. Sorry, better get out of here if you don't have money.” Just like the reaction of the first two maids in the Coconut Cottage Inn. The middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper also did not welcome Jing Yang well. It was just that Jing Yang saw there was a difference between in the innkeeper and the owner of this shop.
“I bought long-sleeved black shirts, long black pants. That black robe and white cloth.” Jing Yang took out fifty gold pieces and gave them to the middle-aged man, ”Oh, yes. All with black hoods. Is this enough?”
The shop owner's man looked up and immediately behaved kindly to Jing Yang. Her personality changed after receiving Jing Yang's granting money.
‘It turns out this kid is rich. But where did he come from? Fifty pieces of gold. Though all the prices of these clothes amounted to thirty pieces of gold if totaled. In the end a child is just a child.’ Thought the middle-aged man, the owner of the clothing store.
The Black Spirit whispered to Jing Yang. Before long the middle-aged man, the shop owner, led Jing Yang to change into a dressing room.
Jing Yang took off his old clothes and replaced them with new ones. The clothes he was wearing felt comfortable. Jing Yang put his old clothes into the Ring of Gods because he wanted to make his old clothes a memento, so that in the future he would remember his past.
“I go first. Thanks for the welcome.” Jing Yang smiled faintly and walked out of the changing room. Then her footsteps stopped at the exit of the clothing store.
“Sorry that I did not welcome Young Master well. May Young Master pay a visit back to our store.” The middle-aged man bowed and put his hands together.
“I hope you become a person who often gives alms to Uncle. Better give than receive.” Said Jing Yang, walking away leaving the pensive middle-aged man still in that bent position.
The Black Spirit chuckled at the expression of the surprised shopkeeper as well as breaking out in cold sweat. While Jing Yang held onto his hood while staring at the starless night sky.
