Ch 176: Seaside Town’s Must-see: Blonde Delinquent Causes Trouble

Bal led everyone to a town near the beach to find a place to stay.

“Let’s stay in a nicer inn. It should be close to the beach, most importantly, it needs to have hot water and good sound insulation, otherwise, we won’t be able to sleep at night.”

Nia walked to Bal’s side and offered her opinion to Bal. Bal thought for a moment, and indeed, she was right.

“There’s a question, where will Philia sleep tonight?”

Phia whispered to Bal’s ear.

“Hmm, let me think.”

Bal glanced at everyone, and realized he could leave Philia with the Maid Sisters. At this time, the Maid Sisters also noticed Bal’s gaze, and Xiaoyue walked to Bal’s side.

“Master, if you don’t mind, let Philia stay with us.”

“Okay, then let Philia sleep with you guys.”

Bal picked up Philia.

“Philia, how about you sleep with Xiaoguang and Xiaoyue tonight?”

“No problem, but Father has to come find Philia in the morning, okay?”

“No problem, my little Princess.”

Bal gently scratched Philia’s nose. After solving the problem of where Philia would sleep, the group started looking for an inn.

“I’ll go check out the Adventurer’s Guild over there.”

Selena said, handing her luggage to Bal, and walked towards the local Adventurer’s Guild.

“I’ll go see if there’s anything I’m interested in nearby.”

Nia put down her luggage, then she pulled Grey and went out.

Now only five people were left standing dumbfounded on the street.

“Hey, Beauty. Want to come play with us?”

Three men, wearing flowery shirts and looking rather ill-behaved, approached Xiaoguang and Xiaoyue. They seemed to be trying to chat them up.

“Sorry, we have to serve our Master.”

The three men then looked at Bal, who was holding Philia and enjoying the scenery. One of them, who looked like the older brother, walked to Bal’s side, patted Bal on the shoulder, and when Bal turned around, Philia’s hand slapped the man’s face.

“Hey, Young Man, pfft …”

“Huh? Did someone call me?”

“Father, I think I hit something.”

Bal looked down, and the man was lying on the ground.

“Pay up! You knocked me down! Pay up! Either give me five hundred silver coins or five jewels, or this isn’t over!”

Hearing the man’s words, the Maid Sisters reached for their waists; they had hidden weapons for self-defense in the bows tied around their waists.

“Oh? You’re injured? I happen to be a Healer, let me take a look.”

Phia signaled the Maid Sisters with her eyes to temporarily not take action, she would handle it. She put her hand in front of the man, and the magic formation on her hand swept across the man’s body.

“Hmm, there’s indeed a problem with your body.”

The man, upon hearing there was a problem, became even more arrogant.

“You all heard it, this Healer Miss said there’s a problem with my body! If you don’t pay up, I’ll drag you to the Guard Unit!”

“Your kidneys aren’t very good, and your liver has some problems too. Most importantly, there’s a big problem with your brain; the inside is smooth without folds, and there’s a lot of fluid buildup. Other places have some problems, too. Do I need to say more?”

The man was stunned by Phia’s diagnostic report; he thought for a while before realizing Phia was insulting him.

“Hey, you stinky woman, are you insulting me?!”

Phia spread her arms.

“Oh my, I didn’t expect a person’s brain could actually grow folds on the spot.”

“You!”

The man was angered by Phia’s insults, and Bal and the Maid Sisters were all covering their mouths and giggling.

“Get him!”

With a command from the angered man, his two underlings pulled out daggers and stabbed at Phia.

“Hmm? Can’t win with words so you resort to violence? Is that what you call being injured?”

Phia dodged and knocked the first man’s dagger away, then grabbed the man’s hand and threw him over her shoulder. The second man tried to attack, but before he could even move, the Maid Sisters pinned him to the ground.

“You!”

The angered man’s eyes turned red; he held a dagger to Bal’s neck, threatening Phia.

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill him!”

Phia was very obedient; she didn’t approach the man, but her expression was hard to maintain.

“Are you sure you want to use this person as a hostage?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Bal also laughed; with a simple low kick, he knocked the angered man to his knees. After putting Philia down, he grabbed the man’s wrist.

“Kid, let’s not talk about the problem with your brain. I’m still holding my daughter, how dare you make a move? If my daughter gets a scratch, are you not afraid I’ll beat you to death?”

Just as Bal was about to knock the man unconscious, Nia arrived with the local Guard Unit. The guards ran over, blowing their whistles; Bal heard the whistle and stopped.

“Good luck, the Guard Unit saved you. Next time you appear in front of us, whether you live or die will depend on fate.”

After giving the man a warning, Bal let him go. The Guard Unit, having been informed beforehand by Nia, arrested the three troublemakers.

“Behave yourselves, it’s you three again.”

One of the men wearing a badge walked to Bal’s side.

“You’re here for tourism? I’m sorry these three rotten people ruined your mood.”

“It’s alright, alright. You came pretty fast, and I wasn’t affected.”

“That’s good. We’ll go now. If anything happens, you can come to the Guard Unit to find me, my name is Daniel.”

“No problem, Officer Daniel. You guys are busy, I’ll keep waiting for the others.”

After Daniel had his subordinates take the three troublemakers away, he left.

“Hmm? What happened?”

Selena came to Bal’s side with a map. Seeing the Guard Unit that had just passed by her, she looked puzzled.

“Nothing, just harassed by some local thugs. Did you ask about the inn?”

“I did. There’s a high-end inn near the beach that meets all our requirements. It’s just the price…”

Upon hearing the issue of money, Bal smiled.

“Did you forget I said not to worry about money? Didn’t I open a ski resort a while ago? I made a lot of money during the summer, and after paying wages and benefits to the Cat Demon Tribe, there’s still a lot left over.”

At this time, Phia also walked to the two of them.

“Don’t forget I also have considerable assets.”

Seeing that the two Masters didn’t care about the price, Selena didn’t mind anything else.

“Okay then, let’s go to the inn.”

Selena and Nia picked up their luggage, and the group followed Selena to a very high-end looking inn.

“Hello, four double-bed rooms, with plenty of sunlight.”

Bal went to the counter, stating his requirements to the cashier. As soon as the cashier heard Bal asking for four rooms, she immediately took out the Room Deeds to check.

“Yes, there are rooms that meet your requirements. How long will you be staying?”

“Seven days.”

The cashier took out an abacus and started calculating. After a series of clicks, the cashier looked up at Bal.

“The total is seventy gold coins.”

Hearing that the price was within the budget, Bal immediately took out his Pouch and paid. After the cashier counted the money, she took out four keys with room numbers.

“Here are the keys. Please sign the Room Deed and keep it.”

Bal signed and took the keys. He distributed the keys to everyone, and the group went upstairs.

“The bed, it’s a big bed!”

As soon as Phia opened the door, she jumped onto the bed, hugging a pillow and rolling around.

“I slept so uncomfortably on the small bed on the ship for the past few days, finally a big bed!”

“Let’s put the luggage down first.”

“Right.”

After saying that, Phia took out several packages from the Extradimensional Space, and they put the packages into the room’s Wardrobe together.

“Should we go to the beach now or after lunch?”

Bal walked to Phia’s side, and rubbed her head.

“I’ll take a nap, let’s go after lunch.”

“Okay, then I’ll sleep with you for a while.”
