Miss Loser is too enchanting

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Qian Pavilion (1)_1

Dugu Qianye simply smiled and did not speak, handing over the jade bottle to Wang Youwei, saying, "I trust you will keep this a secret for the Mo Residence. Additionally, I would like to register as a mercenary, is it possible to do that now?"

In her previous life, there had been set working hours, after all.

"Ninth Miss can register as a mercenary at any time, of course," Wang Youwei said and then personally handled the procedures for her. "Just like mercenary groups, our mercenaries are divided into six grades: a, b, c, d, e, and f, with newly registered members starting at f grade. The difficulty of the missions varies with the grade, and your grade increases with the number of missions completed. However, in special cases, we can directly register members at d grade. We can directly register you as a d-grade mercenary, would that be acceptable?"

Dugu Qianye took the mercenary badge, which somewhat resembled her own Young Master’s insignia, though it was much simpler, with a small ’d’ engraved on it. She threw the mercenary badge into her Spatial Ring and said, "That will do, thank you."

After leaving the Mercenary Guild, Dugu Qianye purchased some daily necessities, bought a carriage, and then left Qifeng City from the north gate, heading north. The carriages here were different from those in ancient times in her previous life; they moved quickly and did not require someone to drive them, moving on their own until encountering a place they could not pass. The roof could also be folded open.

Dugu Qianye lay back in the carriage. The roof opened, letting the lazy sun shine down, Xiaohuo lying in her arms, and the other beasts stayed in their mimicked forms by her side, indescribably comfortable!

The journey was a sprint across the plains. Occasionally, she passed by some small towns and cities. Dugu Qianye would stop to look around if she found something interesting.

In early July, Dugu Qianye arrived at a large city—Baishi City. The entire city’s walls were built with white stones, hence the name Baishi City.

Dugu Qianye looked up at the hundred-meter-tall walls, feeling a surge of admiration. Such a feat would be incredible even in modern times! Passersby who saw Dugu Qianye standing there, staring foolishly, scoffed at her.

The carriage had been put away early into the Refining Demon Pot, and Dugu Qianye, leading Xiaohuo, approached the city gate where the guard stopped her, saying, "One gold coin per person to enter."

Damn! She had never heard of having to pay to enter a city! Xiaohuo was about to blow her top, but Dugu Qianye picked her up and casually tossed two gold coins to the guard, then turned away.

"Sister, why didn’t you let me deal with them?" Xiaohuo asked, puffing up with anger.

"Big cities charge gold coins for entry; just the amount differs, nothing to get angry about. You’re so small, yet you have quite the temper," Dugu Qianye teased her.

"Hmph, I just thought they were amusing," Xiaohuo said, feeling embarrassed. Okay, she admitted, she was a bit frustrated.

Dugu Qianye, pulling along Xiaohuo, wandered around the city. By evening, she saw a decent inn and walked in. Xiao’er, seeing customers coming, greeted them warmly, saying, "Are the two of you looking to dine or to stay the night?"

"To stay," Dugu Qianye said, surveying the surroundings. The environment was elegant, and the decor was appropriate; it was quite nice.

"What price range would you like? Economy rooms are 10 gold coins per day, mid-tier rooms are 30 gold coins per day, and superior rooms are 50 gold coins per day."

Dugu Qianye took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to Xiao’er, saying, "Prepare a superior room for us."

Xiao’er took the money bag, called out loudly, "One superior room," then gave Dugu Qianye the key, saying, "Room 301 on the third floor, this way please."

Just then, a man and a woman walked in from outside and said to Xiao’er, "Two superior rooms."

"Oh, I’m sorry, Miss, these two just took a superior room, and we only have one left now," Xiao’er said apologetically.

"What? Only one superior room left?" the young lady exclaimed. She ran up to Dugu Qianye and said arrogantly, "Hey, I’ll give you 100 gold coins for that room."

Dugu Qianye gave the girl a cold glance and continued upstairs, bypassing her.

"You stop right there!" The girl wanted to follow upstairs but was held back by the man accompanying her.

"Sister, you mustn’t be rude. They were here first after all. How about this, you take the top room, and I’ll take the mid-grade one, it’s just for one night anyway." After finishing, he smiled apologetically at Dugu Qianye, "My younger sister is just a child, I hope the young lady won’t take offense."

Dugu Qianye nodded and turned away.

"Brother, why didn’t you let me take over the room?" the girl asked, unwilling to let it go.

"You’re always like this. It would be awful if you ran into a tough customer one day. We have to hit the road tomorrow. Better to have less trouble than more," the young man said before turning to the Xiao’er, "Take us to our room, please."

When Dugu Qianye arrived in the room, she was greeted with European-style decor, a large suite, and upon lying down on the big, soft bed, she could see the luxurious chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Dugu Qianye took a refreshing bath, crawled into the big bed, and slept beautifully.

The next day, Dugu Qianye was woken up by Xiaohuo.

"Sister, sister, get up! The sun’s shining on your bum," Xiaohuo said while lying on Dugu Qianye, pinching her nose.

"Out with it. What are you up to now?" Dugu Qianye woke up, swatting away the small hand from her nose.

"Sister, let’s go shopping. Let’s see what fun things there are in this Baishi City," said Xiaohuo excitedly.

"Alright then." Dugu Qianye got out of bed reluctantly, freshened up, and went downstairs with Xiaohuo.

When they reached the second floor, they bumped into the young man from the day before. He smiled politely upon seeing Dugu Qianye. She hadn’t paid much attention to him the day before, but seeing him again today, she noticed his neat and tidy short hair and his glamorous swordsman outfit, which gave him a refreshingly clean aura when he smiled.

Dugu Qianye returned the greeting and then went downstairs with Xiaohuo for breakfast.

After breakfast, Dugu Qianye took Xiaohuo out for a stroll and they shopped until noon. The two arrived at a shop called Qian Pavilion.

The Qian Pavilion was somewhat akin to a modern shopping mall: the first floor sold clothes and accessories, the second sold medicinal herbs, the third weaponry, the fourth elixirs, the fifth offered dining, and there was even a small courtyard in the back selling tamed Phantom Beasts. Moreover, it was a national chain! It was said to be the largest building in the Mors Empire.

As Dugu Qianye looked around, she marveled, "Tsk tsk, this is really modern!" She and Xiaohuo made their way to the third floor where a staff member approached, "Hello, how can I help you?"

Dugu Qianye indicated she just wanted to browse around, and the staff member said, "Let us know if you need any assistance," before leaving them to it.

Dugu Qianye and Xiaohuo began browsing the store, where they saw Spiritual Artifacts and Holy Artifacts of every grade. However, every weapon carried a hefty price tag.

"Sister, all this stuff is so expensive. Why don’t you get into Artifact Refining? When we run out of money, we could just sell a weapon; how great would that be!" Xiaohuo said after making a round and coming back to Dugu Qianye. Dugu Qianye thought about it and indeed, it didn’t seem like a bad idea. But then again, wasn’t that the same reason she had started learning Alchemy in the first place?

After looking around, Dugu Qianye spotted a ring in a corner, quite ordinary-looking, but with a hefty price tag. After calling over a staff member to inquire, she learned it was a Phantom Ring, capable of changing one’s gender and concealing the ring on the hand.
