Jewel was elated as she dragged Darryl along the streets while holding a candy in one hand and cotton candy in the other.
On the other end of the New World.
There was only a mountain road leading to the Palace as two figures walked in silence. It was none other than Justin and Lily.
The sun shone brightly accompanied by a light and comfortable breeze. However, Justin had a depressed look on his face.
Previously, he was almost beaten half to death before being peed on. Thankfully he got the money back, found a hotel, and booked a better room for Lily that night before getting himself a smaller room from the reluctance of spending the money on himself.
After the night, they continued their journey the next day.
Justin had learned his lesson and stuffed the money bag in his clothes in case other thugs wanted to rob him.
They were soon exhausted after walking on the mountainous road for a while. They looked and saw an inn at the foot of the hill from afar.
It was a small inn with a door sign. A tent was set up at the front with some tables and chairs in it.
“Lily, let’s go there and rest! We could have a cup of tea before continuing,” said Justin happily while smiling at Lily.
They were exhausted and thirsty after such a tiring journey. The thought of having a cup of hot tea made them feel better.
“Sure.” Lily gently nodded as she was also tired from the walking and slight sweating.
Justin’s heart was aching as he said, “Lily, there’s still a distance to the inn. Why don’t I carry you, get on then.” He then squatted in front of her.
“No, no… It’s inappropriate.” Lily softly replied.
