Chapter 184: Checking into the B&B, Discovering Something Amiss

Red lanterns hung outside, the door was open, and inside were modern amenities like incandescent lights, air conditioning, television, computers, and more, though some furniture was made of wood in a retro style.

"Is anyone here? Is the owner around?"

"Yes! I'll be right there!"

Si Xuekai called out loudly, and someone hurried downstairs from the upper floor.

"I am the owner."

The newcomer was a woman, presumably the innkeeper.

The innkeeper seemed surprised by the number of people, "Are you here to check in?"

"Yes, how much for one night?"

"The price for a king-sized room and a twin room is about the same, ninety yuan each."

"That cheap?"

The innkeeper gave a wry smile, "My place is in a bad location, too remote. Plus, there's something quirky nearby, so tourists don't like staying here. Luckily, it's my own house, so I won't lose money."
