Due to the increased number of people swamped the town, the majority of the inns and hotels are thoroughly occupied with no extra room available.
It wasn't until they looked and asked around the town for almost two hours did Mu Suyin managed to find a decent place for them to stay for the night.
Black Cat Inn.
As Mu Suyin slowly pushed the wooden door open, a small bell attached to the top of the door jingle to signal the arrival of a new customer.
While standing behind the inn counter, a weathered woman smoothly lifting through a thick book soon greeted her with a warm smile,
"Welcome to Black Cat Inn. I'm the innkeeper here. How can I help you?"
"Is there any vacancy?" Mu Suyin inquired, her pitch-black eyes indifferently glancing around the crowded dining hall.
The place glowed in a warm brightness but is also reek of heavy alcohol.
Mu Suyin could see many Adventurers eating and drinking around the place. And nearly all the dining tables are occupied except the few empty seats in the corner.
It was a typical scene, and almost all the inns and hotels are like this.
A few of the men were even daring enough to whistle and called out to her while in their drunken state, not perceiving the slight but suffocating pressure surrounding her body.
The innkeeper quickly answered, "We only have three rooms left available, two standard rooms and one high-class room.
"A standard room will cost 20 silver coins for a night, while the high-class room will cost 2 Gold coins for a night, and we will also take care of your War Soul if required."
After deliberating for a moment, the innkeeper then briefly explained the situation, "Because there been a significant shortage of accommodation recently, the price of all the rooms has risen. So, which room do you want?"
Clud!
"I will take the high-class room for two days." Without any hesitation, Mu Suyin casually placed four gold coins onto the counter and said plainly.
Although the money she had left at the moment was inadequate, there wasn't a need to degrade their living standards just for this little bit of money.
After putting away the gold coins, the innkeeper placed a silver key with card number 7 onto the counter and said, "If your War Soul needs a place to rest, please feel free to use the barn is at the back of the Inn.
"Take this key number and show it to the staff there, and they will make the necessary arrangement. You can rest assured that our service won't leave you disappointed."
"Alright. Just prepared a few of your specialty dishes and delivered them to the room. I will be back shortly." Saying so, Mu Suyin turned around and left the Inn.

"Grandma, did you get a room for us?" While sitting obediently on the horse cart, Myah briskly asked.
They have been looking around for a long time, and he feels somewhat tired.
All he could do was play with Caramel to pass the time. It wasn't fascinating as he had thought. Undoubtedly, their small village was much more fun. There, he could play with Pickle, Lena, and the others.
But not here...
As Myah wasn't familiar with the town's layout, he couldn't go anywhere.
"I have rented a room for us, and we will be staying here for the night." Mu Suyin smiled and put Myah on the ground.
After contemplating for a moment, she removed an exquisite ankle bracelet and wore it onto Myah's left ankle.
The ankle bracelet is made of an unknown high-grade silver alloy and is decorated elegantly with a small bell and moon charm design. If one looks carefully, one could notice that it faintly glowed in a mystical blue light.
Witnessing that the bracelet automatically adjusted itself to fit Myah's ankle better, Mu Suyin nodded in satisfaction. 'It sure complements his looks perfectly! Perhaps I should have given it to him sooner.'
"Grandma, what did you put on my ankle?" The little guy tilted his head and asked curiously.
"It's a beast storage tool." Mu Suyin revealed.
"With this bracelet on your ankle, you can channel your spirit energy through it and store Bumpkin and Caramel inside. It's a popular and convenient tool. However, it doesn't restrict their freedom as they could get out anytime they want with just a thought.
"As we will rest inside the Inn tonight, it's not safe to leave Bumpkin outside alone. Your War Soul is extremely important to you, and we cannot be careless in case any possible accident might happen."
"By the way, the tool is precious, so don't go and flex to anyone, get it?" She patted Myah's head and reminded him with a knowing look.
"Oh...okay! Trust me. I won't show it to anyone!"
Initially, Mu Suyin didn't plan on giving the Moon Shrine Bracelet to Myah just yet since it was rather precious as a Rank 3 treasure and not just a regular beast storage tool.
A Rank 3 treasure!
It could easily incur the greed of others if someone knowledgeable were to recognize its actual values, especially in a place like the Mobius kingdom, a Third-tier power.
Not to mention a Rank 3 treasure, even an ordinary Rank 1 beast storage tool with limited space would usually cost over 2000 low-grade Spirit Stone.
Moreover, after every increment in rank, the value would soar exponentially.
Compared to the typical storage tool, a beast storage tool was much more expensive since it could store living beasts inside.
Furthermore, it's common sense that one's War Soul was equal to their own life. For that reason, a beast storage tool was convenient and particularly important in various situations.
After they get some help from the Inn's staff and put away the horse cart, Mu Suyin suggested, "Let's see...why don't you try it out first hand? Try and store Bumpkin inside."
"Ah, okay, I will try."
Following his grandma's guidance, Myah immediately infused a strand of the spirit energy into the Moon Shrine Bracelet.
It was easy to use and didn't cost must spirit energy.
A faint transparent light quickly shined and gradually suffused Bumpkin's entire body.
Then, Bumpkin transmuted into a white light stream with no resistance before disappearing into the bracelet on his left ankle. Soon, the same goes for Caramel as Myah tried again.
Through their spiritual connection, Myah could feel Bumpkin's comfortably resting inside what seems to be ample starry space.
It's just that Bumpkin doesn't want to stay inside the bracelet for too long and prefers to be outside instead.
Upon seeing that Myah has grasped the primary utility of the Moon Shrine Bracelet, Mu Suyin then continued to explain further.
"This bracelet is considered unique.
"Aside from the function of storing Spirit Beasts and War Soul, it has another ability named
"You can activate the Moon Shrine Bracelet's ability
"Upon activation, not only could it tranquilize your state of mind, but it could also ward off the weak demons, ghosts, and vengeful spirits..."
However, this time, Mu Suyin's last sentence was pressing, and her tone sounded somewhat severe, with eyes gradually locking into a dark alley in the distance.
