My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

"Hello, please book two suites for me!"

Liu Ziyan arrived at the hotel front desk full of anticipation, ready to take out her ID card and bank card to check in, but the words of the front desk staff made her mood plummet once again.

"Excuse me, ma'am, our hotel is currently out of suites."

"What about a double room?"

"There aren't any left!"

"What about the presidential suite?"

"No!"

"Even if it costs more, just find us two suites, no, even one will do!"

"Miss, I'm so sorry, but even if you raise the price, there's nothing I can do. All the rooms in our hotel are already occupied."

Well, another fully booked hotel. Liu Ziyan looked at Su Muchen helplessly.

"Let's go. If there's nothing, that's fine. We'll just spend the night in the car."

Su Muchen was also losing patience. They had already searched ten hotels. They couldn't keep searching like this. It was already three in the morning, and it would be dawn by the time they finished.

Liu Ziyan also lost the will to continue searching. Anyway, there were only five or six hours left before the auction started, so it wouldn't hurt to make do in the car.

"Let's go then!"

The two walked toward the hotel entrance in low spirits. Just as they were about to step out, they heard the voice of the front desk staff behind them.

"Sir/Madam, please wait a moment..."

Su Muchen and his companion stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the hotel reception desk, their faces filled with confusion.

"Sir, Madam, could you please come here for a moment? A room is available."

The receptionist's words made Su Muchen and Liu Ziyan's eyes light up at the same time, and the two quickly walked towards the front desk.

"Hello, you just said you had guest rooms available, please open them for us quickly."

Liu Ziyan immediately took out her ID card and bank card, afraid of missing this unexpected surprise.

However, Liu Ziyan's hasty actions seemed awkward to the front desk staff. They thought, "You're a stunning beauty who can charm any man, coming to a hotel with a man and being so proactive. Is that really appropriate?"

"Um, beautiful, we have a room, but there's a problem with this guest room."

The receptionist's words made Liu Ziyan, who was initially excited, frown instantly. Was she going to be disappointed again? Fortunately, the receptionist's next words dispelled her worries.

"Miss, here's the thing. This room is a couple's suite. A client originally booked it and decorated it beautifully as a birthday surprise for his girlfriend. But we just received a call from him saying his girlfriend ran off with someone else and he wants to cancel the reservation. Of course, they haven't checked into the room yet. If you don't mind the special decorations, then..."

The receptionist spoke somewhat hesitantly, as if there was something implied in her words, but she couldn't quite express it.

Now Liu Ziyan hesitated. Although the room was not occupied, who knew how it had been decorated? Moreover, it was a couple's suite, and it was somewhat inappropriate for her and Su Muchen to be alone in a room together.

"Miss Liu, this room will do. We just need a place to rest, it's much better than staying in the car."

Was Su Muchen really thinking that way? Not necessarily. He was overjoyed to be in a room with such a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Okay, then please give us this room. Swipe your card!"

Since Su Muchen had spoken, Liu Ziyan no longer held back. After all, the two of them were only resting for a few hours, so what could possibly happen?

Check-in was completed quickly. When Su Muchen and his companion swiped their room cards to enter the suite and walked into the bedroom, they finally understood why the receptionist had spoken so awkwardly earlier. It turned out that the room's furnishings were appalling.

As soon as the two entered the room, their attention was drawn to the decorations on the bed. In the center of the two-meter-wide bed, a heart shape was made of red roses, which, combined with the warm lighting in the room, made it look especially romantic.

However, what truly captivated them was not the heart-shaped rose, but rather several peculiar objects placed within it.

A whip resembling a horsewhip, a pair of silver handcuffs, a leash resembling a dog collar, and a flawless white fake fox tail.

"What are all these? They're quite interesting!"

Su Muchen, being a complete novice, had never seen anything like this before. He immediately picked up the whip and swung it around a couple of times.

"Oh... How embarrassing, Mr. Su, please put it down quickly, you can't play with these things..."

From the moment she saw these things, Liu Ziyan's face turned red with embarrassment. She hadn't expected that the decorations the receptionist had mentioned would be these things.

Unlike Su Muchen, Liu Ziyan, though inexperienced in such matters, had learned about their uses through her life in this era, which is why she felt so ashamed.

Seeing Su Muchen actually touching and playing with her, Liu Ziyan felt even more ashamed and covered her face with her hands, turning away.

"Uh! Miss Liu, what's going on? What's wrong with these things? Why do you look like that!"

Liu Ziyan's reaction puzzled Su Muchen. Although he had never seen these things before, they were all harmless, so why couldn't he play with them?

"Mr. Su, I don't know how to explain this to you. In short, you can't play with these things. Quickly put them away and throw them in the trash can. Don't let me see them again."

I really don't know how to explain this. I can't very well ask Liu Ziyan to tell Su Muchen the uses of these things one by one. It would be better to have her demonstrate them to Su Muchen herself.

Frustrated, Su Muchen gathered up the items and tossed them into the nearby trash can. Then, with a wave of his hand, all the rose petals on the bed were blown to the corner of the wall.

"Miss Liu, everything is ready. You may turn around now."

Hearing Su Muchen's words, Liu Ziyan turned her head with some doubt, loosened her fingers covering her eyes a crack, and only when she saw that all the decorations on the bed had disappeared did she feel relieved and put her hands down.

"Ms. Liu, why did you react so strongly just now? What are all these things for? The staff said that a previous client set them up to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday. Are these things for a birthday celebration?"

Su Muchen scratched the back of his head in confusion. He really couldn't understand how these things were related to a birthday celebration.

"Mr. Su, let's not talk about this. I don't know how to explain it to you. You'll understand later. There's only one bed in this suite. Why don't you sleep on the bed, Mr. Su, and I'll make do on the sofa for the night?"

Liu Ziyan didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so she quickly changed the subject.

"That won't do. If anyone's going to sleep on the sofa, it should be me. How can I let a girl like you sleep on the sofa? Okay, it's decided then."

This is a gentlemanly act that any normal man would do, so Su Muchen naturally wouldn't let Liu Ziyan sleep on the sofa.

"Well... alright, Mr. Su, then I'm sorry to trouble you tonight. It's getting late, so let's get some rest!"

"Okay, then you should get some rest. I'll go sleep on the sofa in the living room."

Although a man and a woman alone in a room can make the atmosphere in the room more intense, they have only known each other for less than a day, so how could they have any other thoughts so quickly?

After Su Muchen left the bedroom, Liu Ziyan carefully closed the bedroom door, took out a change of clothes from the backpack she had brought, and went into the shower room.

Soon, the sound of dripping water could be heard from the bedroom, while the fragrance of shower gel wafted through the crack in the bedroom door into the living room.

After arriving in the living room, Su Muchen immediately sat cross-legged on the sofa and began meditating. For cultivators like them, cultivation was the best way to dispel fatigue.

"Sniff..."

"Wow, it smells so good..."
