When Qiao Xixi and her group arrived at the crimson-painted stone house, a bird-like beast-kin dressed in reddish-brown hides, with a circlet of brown feathers on his head, was counting colorless Crystal Stones.
Jin Ling stepped into the house first and asked, "Excuse me, are you Chao Bai?"
Chao Bai looked them up and down, then nodded as he put away the Crystal Stones in his hands.
"You're outsiders, looking to rent a stone house?"
Jin Ling nodded. "Do you have anything suitable?"
"We do. We have all kinds of stone houses here. There are quite a few of you, and I have one that would be a perfect fit. The price isn't cheap, though—it'll be three colorless Crystal Stones a day."
Three colorless Crystal Stones a day was too expensive. Even if Qiao Xixi's group could afford it, they couldn't spend their money so freely. They still didn't know how long they would need to stay.
"Could you give us a better price? We plan on staying for a relatively long time."
