Chapter 302: Chapter 291: Mysterious Plane 46

On the next day, after purchasing the goods, Yan Mo took them to the city gate.

Under Xia Yue’s questioning gaze, he approached an ox-cart.

Yan Mo negotiated with the person next to the ox-cart for a few minutes. After giving him some money, the man gratefully thanked Yan Mo and left.

"Come on over, we are about to leave." Yan Mo told the group who were still standing where they were.

After exchanging glances, Xia Yue and the others walked over.

"Is this the transportation you were talking about?" Xia Yue looked at the hefty ox and the simple cart, which had two quilts on it to ensure whoever sat on it wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

"This is the best means of transportation available now. I wanted to buy horses, but they’re too expensive. Buying an ox is more cost-effective. If necessary, we can give it to the descendants of the Witch Clan as a goodwill gesture. That might lessen the likelihood of us being ostracized," Yan Mo explained to them.

"Do you know how to drive this cart?" Xia Yue curiously asked, concerned that they might end up in a ditch at any moment.

"I learned yesterday when I bought it, so no problem," Yan Mo confidently beckoned them to climb in.

Xia Xi and the others climbed onto the cart. Yan Mo sat at the front, holding a small stick to guide the ox forward.

At first, he was a bit unfamiliar and the cart moved in fits and starts, making the passengers feel quite seasick.

Thankfully, it didn’t take Yan Mo long to get the hang of it and soon the cart was moving smoothly.

Feeling reassured that everything was under control, Xia Yue and the others finally relaxed and turned their attention to the sights along the road.

Admittedly, the scenery was authentic and quite charming.

Before long, Xia Yue brought out some snacks and drinks.

After a four-hour journey, they took a break by a small river, allowing the ox to drink and graze. They also got out and stretched their legs while grabbing a quick lunch.

After a rest of more than an hour, they ensured the ox was in good shape, and then continued their journey.

Occasionally, they would encounter pedestrians along the way.

Every so often, Yan Mo would ask them for confirmation that they were on the right path.

After two days, they finally arrived at Yan Town, located near Wuling. The town was home to Wu Zhai, Tianlang Zhai, and Moyan Village.

Yan Town was not very large, with muddy paths. Perhaps because it was quite isolated, the sudden arrival of Xia Yue and the others attracted a lot of attention.

Xia Yue and the others didn’t pay attention to the stares and found the only inn in town. The inn wasn’t very big and appeared somewhat dilapidated.

But they were not too concerned with that anymore. After two days in the wilderness, a place to stay and the chance to take a bath were luxuries they deeply appreciated.

The bathwater needed to be heated on a stove and poured into a wooden tub.

Xia Yue felt this was the worst bathing experience she had ever had; she hurriedly washed up and got out of there.

They ordered a table full of food from the innkeeper.

After freshening up, they went to the lobby to eat.

"Innkeeper, can we ask you some questions?" Yan Mo asked, looking towards the boss behind the counter.

"What do you want to know? I’ve lived here all my life and know quite a bit," the innkeeper replied with a smile.

"Do you know anything about the descendants of the Witch Clan?" Yan Mo asked with a smile.

To his surprise, the innkeeper’s expression changed. He cast a suspicious look at them and asked cautiously, "Why are you asking about this? Customers, there are some things better left unexplored. It’s not good for you.",

"Considering how young you are, with your entire life ahead of you, why risk it all for uncertain matters? There’s no need to throw away a good life," he cautioned.
