Chapter 9: One room

Xiao Yue changed very quickly and when she came out, she was completely different from before.

While she was no longer showing as much skin as before, the way she was dressed made her beauty even more dazzling.

Unlike the tattered dress with holes that showed her natural beauty alone, these clothes worked with her beauty to make her stand out even more.

After catching Lin Fan staring at her, Xiao Yue asked, "Do I look strange?"

Lin Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No, not at all!"

Xiao Yue revealed a smile when she saw this before saying, "Aren't you going to go change?"

Lin Fan then realized that he was staring too much, so he turned away and headed to the carriage as he said, "Alright, I'll go change."

It didn't take Lin Fan long to change and when he came out, this time it was Xiao Yue's turn to be stunned.

She looked at him in a daze for a bit before suddenly turning away when she realized what she was doing.

Luckily for her, Lin Fan was not looking at her, but rather he had gone over to the horse.

After she came back from her daze, she asked, "What do we do about the carriage? Do we take it with us?"

Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, "We'll leave it here."

Xiao Yue was about to say something to refute this when Lin Fan cut her off by saying, "Money is one thing since coins are the same, but a carriage is too unique. It's much more easily recognizable compared to money."

Xiao Yue still was a bit unconvinced, but she knew that Lin Fan was right. Still, she couldn't help saying, "What about the horse? If we have the horse then it'll be easier for us to travel, right?"

Actually, Lin Fan didn't want to leave the horse either since he could tell that it was a good horse, but horses that were good meant that they were also easily recognized. At the very least, they couldn't ride this horse since it meant that they would be recognized when they arrived in town. They would have to wait a bit before they could ride this.

Since that was the case, it was a problem of where to keep the horse until they were able to use it.

Normally this would be a problem, but that only applied for other people. For Lin Fan, he had something that no one else had, the system!

Lin Fan came right up to the horse and without caring that Xiao Yue was beside him, he opened up the portal to the Pet Storage Space. Then he detached the horse from the carriage and led it into the portal by the reins.

As he had expected, he was able to smoothly bring the horse to the other side.

The Pet Storage Space wasn't just used as a place to store his pets, it could also be used as a place to store items and living beings!

This went far beyond a cheat, this was even greater than the Item Box skills that they had in magic worlds! Or the Spatial Storage Artifacts they had in these cultivation worlds!

As soon as the horse came in, the Snow Rabbit that had been resting was alerted.

It looked over with a wary gaze, but seeing that it was Lin Fan who was leading the horse, it happily came over to see what was happening.

It didn't take long before the horse and Snow Rabbit became friends, but the strange thing was the hierarchy between the two of them. As soon as the horse saw the Snow Rabbit, it immediately felt a sense of fear and submitted to the Snow Rabbit.

When Lin Fan left the Pet Storage Space, the Snow Rabbit was already riding atop the horse's head.

When Lin Fan came out of the portal, Xiao Yue who had been stunned by the sudden disappearance of Lin Fan and the horse suddenly came over and pointed at the portal as she asked, "Young master, what is that?"

Lin Fan didn't bother hiding it from Xiao Yue since she was now one of his tamed "pets". In the future, she would be one of his most trusted allies, so keeping secrets now was not a good thing.

Xiao Yue didn't really understand Lin Fan's explanation since she didn't have that much knowledge about cultivators, so in the end, she misunderstood what he meant. She muttered to herself, "So it's a Spatial Storage Artifact."

Lin Fan didn't bother clearing up this misunderstanding, but he was a bit surprised to hear these words from her.

Still, after thinking about it, he realized that it was normal that she would know these words since this was a cultivation world. It was normal that there would be Spatial Storage Artifacts since it was one of the mainstay tropes of a cultivation world.

Lin Fan didn't mind it and started moving the rest of the things into the Pet Storage Space, but it was at this time that Xiao Yue suddenly asked, "Can I go in as well?"

Lin Fan was taken aback by her sudden question, but then he realized something. Since he had tamed her as well, would Xiao Yue receive the same benefits as his other pets in the Pet Storage Space?

So, he brought her into the space.

When she came in, she felt a very pleasant feeling, like being wrapped up in her mother's hug.

Just seeing the look on her face, he realized that his question had been answered.

This reaction was just like the Snow Rabbit's when it first came in and the horse hadn't shown this reaction when it came in, so it must be that only his pets would react this way. That meant that Xiao Yue would receive the same benefits from the Pet Storage Space as his pets!

After thinking about it, he said, "You should stay in this space while I run to the town."

Xiao Yue was surprised by the space at first, but when she heard Lin Fan's voice, she couldn't help saying, "But we have the horse, we can…"

Lin Fan cut her off by saying, "No, it's better if we use the horse for now. Besides, I'm quite fast." As he said this, he revealed a smile.

Xiao Yue still seemed like she had something else to say, but she still said in the end, "Alright."

Lin Fan left her in the space and as soon as he threw everything that they wanted to take into the space, he started running along down the road.

By the time that this carriage was discovered by the next group of travelers, it was simply brought along by them and sold back in the city, but of course that's something that happened much later.

Even with Lin Fan's full speed, by the time that he arrived at the city, it was already night time.

Of course, right before he reached the city, he let Xiao Yue out of the Pet Storage Space so they could enter together. Otherwise, if she were to suddenly appear in the city after they had arrived, it would surely draw questions. Especially since there were guards checking and recording all the travelers that arrived in the city at the gate.

Lin Fan had thought that they would be in trouble since they were people that didn't have any form of identification, but it turned out that the guards that were at the gate were nothing more than a formality.

Well, a formality was the wrong way to describe them since they did play one role.

Their one role was to collect entrance fees from everyone who came into the city. As for who really came into the city, that didn't matter to them at all. The only thing that did matter was how much money they could earn atop the fees that they collected.

It was a good thing that Lin Fan and Xiao Yue had found some cloaks in the carriage which they used to cover themselves, otherwise their appearances surely would have caused some trouble.

It also helped that they made sure to tip the guard that was in charge of letting them in a few extra coins…

Once they were in the city, the first thing that they decided to do was find a place to rest for the night since it was already getting dark. As for what they would do after that, they already had a good idea.

Since they were unfamiliar with this place, with a well placed "tip" to the guard, they received a recommendation to a decent inn.

The place was quite clean, the area it was in was a big street with plenty of guards, and the customers were all outstanding, so it didn't seem like there was a problem in the inn.

The only problem that they had was when they were trying to decide how many rooms to book.

When this question was asked, Lin Fan said, "One room…" But then he realized who he was with and how inappropriate it would be, so he said, "Make that two rooms instead."

But Xiao Yue decisively cut him off by saying, "No, just one room is fine."

Lin Fan looked at her with a surprised look, but seeing how determined she looked, he wasn't able to say anything. However, that didn't stop an excited feeling from appearing in his heart.

Could it be that tonight, he was finally going to…

But of course, he would end up disappointed in the end.
