After crossing a few deserted streets, they finally found an open hotel.
But unlike hotels in other cities, this one had almost no staff. Only a middle-aged couple sat by the counter, idly passing the time.
"Excuse me, are you open for guests?" Mei Meimei stepped forward first and asked.
The middle-aged couple started, scrambling to their feet. Their eyes were filled with confusion and fear. "You… you're not from around here?"
"Please, don't be alarmed," Feng Hao said with a disarming smile. "We're from Mu Country, just passing through. We were hoping to stay for the night."
Seeing how polite Feng Hao was, the couple couldn't help but relax. The woman managed a smile. "Please, have a seat, honored guests. The inn isn't in the best shape, so please don't mind its state."
