My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

"But what Chen said is right! Steaming for too long is indeed unbearable."

Old Zhu muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

"Ugh! Let's go to the sauna!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Everyone opened their eyes and looked towards the door.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man was turning around and smiling at his friend behind him.

"Old Wang, I told you there wouldn't be many people around at this time, it's perfect for a quiet time..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, and he stopped abruptly at the doorway, no longer moving forward.

The man felt several sharp gazes fixed on him. He turned his head, and his body stiffened abruptly.

There were only five or six people sitting in the small sauna room.

The people were sitting in different postures.

Some leaned casually, yet their posture exuded a sense of control.

Some of them have straight backs, like evergreen pines.

Some had their arms resting on their knees, their fingers tapping unconsciously.

Of course, what truly makes men stop is not their actions, but their eyes.

The one closest to the door had a resolute face and sharp, piercing eyes.

A little further away, the man was handsome and imposing, with an air of domineering arrogance between his brows. Just a glance from him made his heart skip a beat.

In the corner stood a man with a gentle demeanor, yet his gaze was as deep as the sea, as if he could see through people's hearts.

There was another man with slightly dark skin, who looked like an old farmer from the countryside, but whose eyes held a rugged, untamed spirit and a shrewd scrutiny.

The other, younger one, had sharp eyes and a fierce, battlefield-like aura.

No one spoke.

The only sound in the sauna room was the faint hissing of the sauna stone stove.

And the man's own breathing suddenly became heavy.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The man swallowed hard, feeling his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The people inside didn't look like ordinary people; they didn't look like people to be trifled with.

Especially that old farmer, who clearly looked like just an old country man, but whose sharp eyes frightened him.

The man's throat went dry. He wanted to say, "Sorry, I went to the wrong place," but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

Those imposing figures remained silent, simply watching him intently, their scrutinizing gazes undiminished.

The gaze of the Fivefold King.

The man took a deep breath and stammered out a few words.

"I'm sorry! We went the wrong way!"

After saying that, without waiting for any response from inside, he slammed the door shut and fled.

Silence returned to the sauna.

After a few seconds, Zhu Yuanzhang broke the silence with a sneer.

"Hmph, coward."

Liu Che commented indifferently: "Disturbing the peace and quiet."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes, as if nothing had just happened.

"interesting."

Zhu Di then stretched his shoulders.

Chen Mo, Zhu Biao, and Fu Su looked at the group, their faces showing a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Before long, the group had finished steaming, took a shower, and changed into bathrobes.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Zhu Di felt a little thirsty and looked at Chen Mo.

"Manager Chen, do you have any water here?"

"water?"

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

"How about we have a drink?"

"drink wine!"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment.

"It's not impossible!"

Then, he looked at the crowd.

What do you all think?

"Can!"

"good!"

……

Chen Mo smiled and walked towards the counter.

After a while, Chen Mo came over carrying several wine bottles.

"Come on! One ice-cold beer each!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a bottle of beer and paused slightly.

"What is this thing? I've never seen it before!"

"Aren't there plenty of things you haven't seen yet?"

Liu Che chuckled, picked up a bottle of beer but looked at it for a long time without knowing how to open it, so he looked at Chen Mo.

"Manager Chen, how do I open this thing?"

Chen Mo demonstrated with the bottle opener in his hand, and then placed the bottle opener on the table.

"Actually, it would be better to pour it into a bottle, but let's not be so elegant and just drink it straight from the bottle."

After saying that, Chen Mo picked up the bottle and started chugging it down.

After downing more than half a bottle of beer, he suddenly wiped his mouth.

"Cool!"

Liu Che and the others glanced at his appearance, their eyes flickering.

He followed his example, opened a beer, and then gulped it down.

"Cough cough cough~!"

At first, Li Shimin was not used to the bubbles inside. He coughed a few times and then wiped his mouth to savor the taste.

"That was really awesome!"

"It's more than just great!"

Zhu Di put down the bottle he was almost finished drinking from.

"Drinking this after a sauna or bath is incredibly refreshing!"

He wiped his mouth and sighed.

"Compared to that, what a miserable life I endured during my Northern Expedition!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng hurriedly took the bottle opener from Zhu Di, opened the beer, and took a big gulp.

"That was really awesome!"

After saying that, he threw the bottle opener on the table.

Seeing that everyone else was drinking straight from the bottle, Liu Che didn't want to be left behind, so he opened his beer and started drinking straight from the bottle as well.

The icy liquor, like a refreshing spring, instantly quenched the burning throat and cleansed the boiling internal organs.

The powerful bubbles burst in my mouth, bringing a slight stinging sensation, which contrasted sharply with the lingering heat inside my body.

The aroma and unique bitterness of malt become incredibly clear and enticing at this moment.

An indescribable, pervasive sense of comfort surged from the top of my head to the soles of my feet!

"That felt great! Absolutely great!"

Liu Che put down the half-empty wine bottle, wiped the foam from his lips, and looked delighted.

Then, he looked at Zhu Biao and Fusu, who were sipping their wine, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

"We're all men! Why are you dawdling over a drink!"

"Let's do it!"

After saying this, Liu Che raised the wine bottle.

Zhu Biao and Fusu exchanged a glance and then raised their wine bottles as well.

"Let's do it!"

Seeing that the three of them—Li Shimin, Ying Zheng, Zhu Di, and Chen Mo—had all raised their wine bottles, they simply raised theirs as well.

"Let's do it!"

All the bottles clinked together loudly.

Then everyone simultaneously downed all the remaining beer in one gulp.

"Whew! That felt great!"

Zhu Di slammed the beer down on the table.

Luckily, the beer bottle was quite sturdy, otherwise it would have been smashed open.

Liu Che nodded in agreement.

"This is how a man should drink!"

"Manager Chen! One more... No!!!"

Old Zhu paused for a moment.

"Three more bottles, please!!! Let's drink to our hearts' content today!"

Seeing his appearance, Liu Che, Li Shimin, and others naturally did not want to be outdone.

"Give me three bottles too!"

"Me too!"

"I want three bottles too!"

Seeing that everyone wanted so much, Chen Mo simply called on Fusu and Zhu Biao as well.

When the three returned, Old Zhu noticed what Chen Mo was holding and asked curiously.

"What is this?"

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

"Playing cards, come on! I'll teach you how to play Dou Dizhu!"

"What?"

"Dou Dizhu?"
