The Innkeeper

Chapter 1293  Casual

Their arrival inside the Inn clearly stopped her attacks on him, which was good. As he exited the building, he arrived in a nice little society, filled with unusual looking houses and countless people in suits.

The Inn staff had been given their own realm which they had developed nicely over the past few years, but Lex had also demarcated a certain plot of land within the Inn for them as well, and placed the entrance to their own realm there. This area was where a small society was formed, housing the Inn workers. After all, everyone could not return to the Minor realm every time they got off work or took a break.

There were also countless staff members who preferred to remain in the Midnight realm, and so they took residence here. Compared to having a home with no physical access that they needed to teleport to, the original arrangement for the staff Lex had set so long ago, having a small society was much better.

This place was also entirely designed by the staff, and the planning division would only pass the design plans to Luthor, who submitted them to the Innkeeper to arrange.

Moon was also resting in a Recovery Pod in this society, which was one of the main reasons Lex brought Liz here. Of course, he had plotted a few coincidental encounters here as well, to attract Liz\'s attention.

They walked over a bridge with a lazy river flowing underneath, within which a school of Magikarpet was swimming. They were no longer the feeble, mundane fish they had once been. After being baptized by the Inn time and time again, they had shed their former weakness, and become extraordinary.

Liz\'s jaw dropped as she looked at the red fish, casually swimming past some of the staff members lazing in plastic doughnuts floating in the lazy river.

She pointed, but she had no words. She didn\'t know the species of the fish, but they had already surpassed the basic minimum quality she required of a Beast before beginning her Beast Master cultivation. Of course, she could have begun with any random beast, but the strength of her partner greatly influenced how strong she could become, which is why she had never started her cultivation.

Yet here, now, in front of her was an entire school of fish with more potential than any beast she had ever seen. Before her brain could adapt to the sight, and filled her with a desire to grab the fish, she saw something flit through the air from the corner of her eye.

When she looked up, she saw peacocks flying through the air, their wings a manifestation of breathtaking art! The vibrant colors mixed with the air, leaving behind a shimmering trails of rainbow glitter that seemed to vanish after a few moments.

More importantly, though they were not pure blooded mythic beings, they gave off a similar aura anyway.

"Wipe the drool off your face," Lex said as he threw a towel at her. She was actually drooling!

"What… what is this place?" she asked in a whisper, as if raising her voice would wake her from this dream.

"This is my home, and the Midnight Inn," Lex said as he squatted down to pet one of the bunnies hopping by.

"How… how can there be so many powerful beasts here? How come no one hunts them down?"

It was an unfortunate reality that beasts with strong bloodlines served as extremely potent ingredients for many treasures, potions and pills not to mention that many rich and powerful beings liked to have them as pets. Unless in certain Beast empires, it was rare to find such powerful beasts just roaming around.

"Like I keep saying, this is the Midnight Inn. Of course no one is going to go around hunting animals randomly - not unless they want to die. Not to mention, the animals here aren\'t so easy to kill either. I\'ll introduce you to Fenrir later, he\'s the pack leader of this place, and all these beasts have joined his pack. He does not take well to people hunting his pack members."

Since Lex had become an immortal now, Fenrir too was able to break into the immortal realm. But unlike Lex, he could not zoom through his levels, nor could he adapt so easily, which is why he was still recovering from his tribulation - not that he had been hurt much by it. Instead, it was the growth of his body which he was taking time getting used to.

Lex acted completely nonchalantly, as he continued to lead Liz, and silently sent a message to Pel Jr. The amount he could move was extremely limited, so he continued to serve as Lex\'s cultivation mat most days. Now though…

The ground suddenly trembled, and Liz turned to look in the direction of the disturbance when her jaw fell for the second time in a minute.

A… a dragon… a MASSIVE dragon wearing a suit was casually walking around, though each of his steps caused a minor quake - as if he wasn\'t used to walking with such a heavy body yet.

"Hey Lex," Pel Jr. said, waving one of its massive claws as he passed them by.

"Hey Jr. I\'ll see you later, I\'m busy right now." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As if their conversation was completely normal, no one else around them so much as raised their head, carrying on with their activities as normal.

A fly flew into Liz\'s open mouth.
