CHAPTER 788: CHAPTER 788: QUEUING FOR ENTERING

Bai Xifeng and the Fang Siblings arrived at another town after 2 weeks of camping outside. They were dying to sleep on the bed. When they arrived at the town, people were queuing to enter the town. They even had guards to control the gate.

Since they wanted to enter the town, they also queued as everyone else. Fang Daiyu asked the person who was in front of her about the situation.

"Excuse me, Lady." Fang Daiyu tried to get the woman’s attention.

The woman turned around. "Are you calling me?"

"Yes. I would like to inquire about the current situation. What is going on here? Why do we need to queue up like this?" Fang Daiyu immediately asked about the situation.

"Oh... There is an upcoming festival. People who want to set up their businesses need to be inspected. There will also be some fees that need to be paid. If you are just a normal traveller, you only need to pay some fees and enter the town." The woman said.

"So, the reason why this queue is so long because they inspect people’s items?" Fang Daiyu asked again.

"Yeah. I heard yesterday, there were two lines. One was for a normal traveller, and another one was for the business people. I don’t know why they don’t open another line today." The woman sighed.

Bai Xifeng, who listened to the conversation, rolled her eyes. She knew the reason. Other guards probably avoided the work and enjoyed their time somewhere else, even though they were paid to do their job.

The line was moving slowly. Bai Xifeng looked at the queue. In front of them, many carriages were queuing, waiting for the guards to inspect their goods. Bai Xifeng sighed. It would be a long way for their turn.

"Do we need to wait?" Fang Zihao asked.

"Well, we need to buy some supplies." Fang Daiyu said.

"I want to sleep." Bai Xifeng said.

"Xifeng, you can not sleep here. We will need to move forward. Otherwise, people have to skip us." Fang Daiyu said.

"So, we need to move forward constantly?" Bai Xifeng raised her eyebrow.

"Technically, yeah." Fang Daiyu nodded.

"Okay." Bai Xifeng nodded.

She immediately called out Cerberus and jumped onto Cerberus’s back. She did not care anymore and fell asleep instantly.

As for others, everyone was shocked and immediately distanced themselves. Some of them shouted in fear. The Fang Siblings were dumbfounded. The guards who were at the entrance gate were shocked. They rushed to Cerberus while pointing their swords at Cerberus. How could the beast suddenly appear at this place?

"Sir... Sir... Please, don’t attack the beast." Fang Zihao stepped forward.

"Do you know this beast?" The guard asked.

"Yes. It is a contracted beast. It belongs to our friend." Fang Zihao stated.

"Who? Where is your friend?" The guard asked another question.

"My friend is sleeping on the beast." Fang Daiyu stated. She turned to Cerberus. "Can you lower down so that they could see your master on your back?"

Fang Daiyu spoke to Cerberus. She knew that Cerberus could understand human speech. Cerberus lowered down the back. The guards could see Bai Xifeng, who slept on the beast’s back.

"We understand, but we still need to report this matter to our superior first before you can enter the town." The guard stated while glancing at the Cerberus.

"I understand." Fang Daiyu nodded.

The guards rushed over to report the matter to the superior. When the guard came to report this to the superior, the superior was talking to someone else.

"Captain, we have a problem." The guard said.

"What? Can you see I am in the middle of talking with someone here?" The captain scolded the guard.

"But Captain, a beast is here." The guard stated.

The captain rose from his seat. "What beast?"

He thought it was beast tide who would destroy everything in their way.

"I mean, a contracted beast wants to enter the town." The guard stated.

"A contracted beast?" The captain’s eyes flickered.

Someone who had a contracted beast was probably someone who should not be ignored. They probably came from the big sect or a prominent family.

"I think Sir Wu should go and see the person." The person who was talking to the captain stated.

"Thank you for the misunderstanding." The captain nodded.

"Let’s go together. I would also like to see who owned the contracted beast." The person stated.

"Sure." The captain nodded.

So, they followed the guard to the entrance. From the gate, they could immediately spot the mentioned beast. The captain approached the beast carefully. Then, the captain saw two teenagers beside the beast.

Fang Daiyu and Fang Zihao noticed them. These people must be the guard’s superior since the guard who talked to them earlier tagged behind them.

"Is this your beast?" The captain asked.

"No." Fang Zihao shook his head. "It is someone else."

"Where is the owner?" The captain asked.

The guard stepped closer and whispered to the captain. "The owner is sleeping on the beast’s back."

"What?" The captain was dumbfounded.

His eyes turned to the beast’s back. However, he did not dare to stare longer because the beast’s eyes also stared at him. It was so terrifying.

"So, why are you here?" The captain moved to another topic.

"We are travellers. We are planning to stay in the town for one night. We also want to buy some supplies." Fang Zihao explained.
