Less than half an incense stick of time later, food and drink appeared before Li Qingyuan. Having gone so long without a proper meal, she was deeply moved at the sight. The last time she had eaten real food was at a previous waystation; if not for the Immortal who had provided for her then, she would have long since starved to death.
Looking at this meal, which she had earned with her own life, Li Qingyuan saw nothing wrong with the current state of the world. As she ate, she even felt that this era was far better than the one that came before. Selling one's life was the same, after all. This way was more direct, and it didn't cause one to age. Considering how helpless one felt when growing old, trading those years away while still in one's youth was actually a pretty good deal. She didn't know if her thoughts might change later, but for now, this was how she felt.
After she had eaten her fill, Li Qingyuan looked at the Innkeeper sitting across from her. "Innkeeper, thank you so much for coming up to the second floor to answer my questions. I am truly grateful!"
