My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!
chapter-1565

Another terrestrial whale also slowly extended its eight stubby legs and departed from the boarding gate. Afterwards, it rapidly started moving its legs before disappearing over the horizon in a moment.

Qiao Mu and the trio walked over.

They saw the elder who was directing the terrestrial whales' departures flaring his nostrils as he shooed away the skinny chap blocking his way.

"Go away, you darn brat! You've been bothering me for an hour already! I've said I can't lower the price. Why are you being so annoying?"

"Big Bro, please have a heart. I don't have quite enough for travelling expenses! I still need to hurry back to the academy. Wuwuwu, if I don't hurry back by today, the students will most likely starve to death. They haven't eaten for three days already." The skinny chap pitifully wiped away the nonexistent tears from the corners of his eyes as he peered at the elder.

"You are the academy's buyer for the dining hall? Which academy?" The elder inquired.

"I am the mentor of Apex Academy's water spirit specialty, not the dining hall's buyer, Big Bro." That skinny mentor glanced at the elder in embarrassment.

From the elder's suspicious look, it looked like he had never heard of this whatever Apex Academy. "Going to Wengka City would take two hours, which requires at least 200 spirit currency as fare. This is already the lowest price!"

The short water spirit specialty mentor suddenly lunged over to hug the elder's thigh. "Big Bro, I don't need a seat. You can just randomly give me a place to stand, Big Bro. I only have five spirit currency on me. Can you see if you can take me along."

"Scram!" That elder practically clobbered the short chap flying with a punch on reflex.

Qiao Mu: …

The strangest thing was that the whatever Apex Academy mentioned by that short mentor earlier had sounded a bit familiar. Where had she heard it before eh?

"These young friends, are you thinking of riding our terrestrial whale? Let me tell you, our terrestrial whale is stable and swift. It can even effectively evade thunderbolts! You can admire the beautiful view of the Thunder Plains during the journey. There are only ten seats left, otherwise you'll have to wait until tomorrow! Do you want to try it out, young friends?"

Qiao Mu took out a bulging money pouch and grabbed a fistful of spirit currency from it.

The elder's eyes suddenly started sparkling and stretched out his hands to take it. However, he eventually watched as Qiao Mu counted out 480 spirit currency one by one before throwing the small remaining handful back into the pouch.

The elder: … He got excited for nothing. He thought that this loaded little lady would just toss him the entire lot!

"Miss Qiao, you had better let us pay the fare!" Bai Xia felt ill at ease.

The little lady had given them so much good stuff earlier. They could not let her also pay for their fare.

Qiao Mu waved her hand, not minding it at all. "It's nothing."

Afterwards, she turned and beckoned to the boy guide. She took out fifty spirit currency to give to him. "Keep it well. You can go now."

Meng Mai gaped at her in shock. He wanted to say something but saw the little lady wave her hand at him and repeat, "Go now."

Meng Mai quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Miss," before running off happily.

Qiao Mu put away the money pouch before turning to the elder. "Where do we go."

"Ah, please, come this way." The elder gave the little lady a complicated look. She actually gave a boy who served as her guide a fifty spirit currency tip!

After recovering his wits, the elder smiled as he stretched out his hand, leading the four people towards the boarding gate.
