Ning Rongrong was still clutching a bunch of spare keys in her hand;
Xiao Wu was holding a carrot-shaped pillow in her arms;
Dugu Yan, who had just arrived in Soto City on her first day and was clearly jealous and ready to assert her dominance, was in a position as if she was about to turn the doorknob.
Three girls, each harboring their own secrets, stared at each other in the dimly lit corridor, an eerie and dangerous silence hanging in the air...
"Gudong..."
Someone swallowed hard in the darkness, seemingly with great difficulty.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Ning Rongrong, the quickest-witted and most resourceful "little witch" in the Tiandou Self-Improvement Association, was the first to succumb.
She gave a stiff, dry laugh, subtly concealing the gleaming spare key behind her back, and then chuckled awkwardly.
"Oh dear... why is the hotel corridor so dark in the middle of the night? I think... I've gone into the wrong room! Yes, wrong room, this isn't my door at all, hahaha..."
After spouting this lame excuse that no one would believe, Ning Rongrong turned and ran towards her room with small, quick steps.
However, although she ran back to her room, she did not go in to rest. Instead, she clung to the door frame with both hands, poked out half of her furry head, and stared intently at Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu, who were still standing there.
They were acting as if to say, "If I can't get in, none of you can have it all to yourself."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's guarded behavior, Xiao Wu, who was hugging a carrot pillow, bit her lower lip, and her long rabbit ears drooped down in distress.
She took a deep breath, really wanting to stand tall and shout at Dugu Yan with a clear conscience, "It's clearly my turn to work tonight!"
but……
Looking at Dugu Yan's beautiful face, which appeared extremely cold and oppressive because her "good time" had been interrupted, Xiao Wu's keen intuition, like that of a small animal, told her that if she dared to utter this "rebellious" declaration of vying for favor, a terrifying battle of soul masters would definitely break out in this corridor tonight, and the scene would definitely get out of control!
"I...I went to the wrong place too! I was sleepwalking!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Wu finally followed Ning Rongrong's example and ran back to her room in a flash.
Then, an extremely bizarre and symmetrical scene unfolded in the corridor:
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, one on each side, clung to their respective doorframes, their eyes like searchlights, both fixed on Dugu Yan in front of Xuan Hao's door.
"..."
Looking at these two girls who "had the desire to steal but not the courage" and wanted to stay behind as supervisors even after escaping, Dugu Yan rolled her eyes inwardly, utterly speechless.
Wrong room? Sleepwalking?
You're kidding me!
However, Dugu Yan did not flee in panic like the others.
She raised her snow-white chin and gave a haughty snort.
Who is Dugu Yan? She's the granddaughter of Poison Douluo and the top dog at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! She's no naive little girl who's never seen the world.
What's wrong with sneaking into your man's room in the middle of the night? It's not unacceptable at all; on the contrary, it's a feat that greatly demonstrates her status as the "official wife"!
Now that she's here, even if she's under the watchful eyes of those two young girls, she'll still push open this door and walk in with dignity!
Chapter 186 Ye Lingling, the Rat Stealing Oil
……
Having made up her mind, Dugu Yan even deliberately gave the two heads peeking out in the distance a provocative look, then confidently reached out, grabbed the doorknob of Xuan Hao's room, and twisted it downwards with force.
"Click".
The doorknob made a very crisp striking sound.
however.
The door was closed.
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then, not believing it, twisted it twice more and even pushed it in a little further.
"Click, click..."
It remained completely still!
The door was locked from the inside by that bastard Xuan Hao!
Dugu Yan, who had been so imposing, froze instantly.
In an instant, the two gazes in the corridor that were originally full of hostility turned into extremely subtle "gloating".
Even without hearing the laughter, Dugu Yan could sense that Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were definitely laughing at her in their hearts.
"That damn bastard..."
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth in anger, cursing silently in her heart.
What should we do now?
Break down the door? With her Soul King strength, kicking open this ordinary wooden door would be a piece of cake.
But that would be too much noise, not only waking up everyone in the hotel, but also making her look like an extremely rude shrew, which would be a disgrace to her status as Miss Dugu.
Should we knock on the door?
Regardless of whether Xuan Hao would open the door, even if he did, knocking on the man's door under the intense gazes of these two young girls would completely change the nature of what was originally an extremely ambiguous and romantic "night raid," turning it into something as awkward as a routine room check.
Standing outside the door, hesitating for a full half minute, Dugu Yan's cold and beautiful face turned pale and then red.
Ultimately, considering both her pride and embarrassment, Dugu Yan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to kick the door down.
She turned her head and glared fiercely at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, her eyes seeming to say, "You two little brats are lucky today." Then she snorted coldly, turned around with extreme resentment and helplessness, and strode back to her room.
"boom!"
As Dugu Yan's door slammed shut, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then withdrew their heads and closed the door tightly.
……
Inside the room separated by a wall.
Lying on the bed, Xuan Hao used his mental power to take in the "silent battle" outside the door.
Seeing the three girls eventually return to their respective rooms, the terrifying crisis that had been giving him the creeps was finally over.
"call……"
Xuan Hao let out a long breath and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead with great relief.
Thankfully, I was extra careful before going to bed tonight and locked the door from the inside.
Otherwise, a fight might break out in this room tonight!
……
The next morning.
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was just right.
Xuan Hao was able to sleep soundly because he wisely locked the door last night.
He finished washing up early and, feeling refreshed, knocked on each of the girls' doors, calling them downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
However, as everyone gradually took their seats at the dining table, Xuan Hao was stunned when he looked at the people in front of him.
Aside from the obedient and hardworking Na'er and the still aloof Zhu Zhuqing, whose eyes were somewhat evasive.
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and even Dugu Yan, these three people were in extremely poor condition!
They all had very obvious dark circles under their eyes, pale faces, and unfocused eyes, and every now and then they would cover their mouths and yawn loudly.
His listless appearance made him look as if some monster had been draining his life force all night, and he might fall headfirst into the congee with preserved egg and lean pork in front of him at any moment.
"no……"
Xuan Hao's hand, holding chopsticks, froze in mid-air. He looked at the three women with utter confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you all? Did you go to Soto City to steal in the middle of the night?"
"No...no!"
Ning Rongrong's hand holding the bowl trembled violently, and she avoided Xuan Hao's gaze with extreme guilt. She gave a dry laugh and forced out an excuse: "I...I just had a sudden burst of inspiration last night, so I've been diligently practicing in my room, and before I knew it...I forgot to sleep. Yes, I forgot to sleep!"
"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Upon hearing this excuse, Xiao Wu immediately nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice, even her rabbit ears drooping listlessly. "Me too! I'm also training hard!"
"..."
Listening to their extremely perfunctory excuses, Xuan Hao felt that his intelligence had been severely insulted.
Cultivation? Forgot to sleep?
Are you kidding me?!
In the world of Soul Masters, there are indeed many extremely diligent Soul Masters who have the habit of "replacing sleep with meditation".
Because deep meditation can also put the body into an extremely relaxed dormant state, thereby achieving the effect of restoring physical strength.
While using meditation to replace sleep for extended periods can indeed accumulate some mental stress, it at most makes one feel mentally tense and creates a sense of "mental fatigue."
For the physical body, meditation is definitely a form of rest!
And what about these girls in front of me?
Sunken eyes, unsteady gait, constant yawning... This isn't just mental fatigue; it's clearly the physical aftereffects of pulling an all-nighter without sleep!
However, with a little thought, Xuan Hao quickly guessed the trickery involved.
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan.
He could see the whole chaotic scene of those three girls' "night raid" in the corridor last night with his mental power.
Clearly, after returning to their respective rooms, none of the three were satisfied with the other, and each was afraid that someone else would sneak into their room and "steal the tower" the moment they fell asleep.
So, the three girls, each with their own ulterior motives, decided to stay up all night and all crouched down by the door to act as "door gods," guarding and watching each other, enduring the entire night!
Although this behavior was extremely bizarre and childish, Xuan Hao could barely understand it.
but……
Xuan Hao's gaze suddenly passed over the three of them and landed on Ye Lingling, who was sitting in the corner, sipping hot milk with her head down.
“Lingling”.
Xuan Hao frowned slightly, looking at Ye Lingling's eyes, which were hidden under a black veil and were equally exhausted, even more haggard than Ning Rongrong and the others. He asked with some concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell because you've just arrived in Soto City and are experiencing some discomfort due to the change in environment?"
"what?!"
