"Hehe, our restaurant is doing well, but it's not always this popular." The manager patiently explained, "It's mainly because we've been preparing for the Tangyuan Festival these past few days. The Tangyuan Festival in Fantasy City is a grand event every year."
Whether they are ordinary mortals, wealthy merchants, or cultivators like yourselves, many have arrived early. The flow of people to and from Fantasy City has been endless these past two days, and our place was fully booked early this morning.”
The innkeeper paused for a moment and then said, "These two top-class rooms are expensive, but quite a few people have inquired about them. In fact, we reserved them specifically for... distinguished guests like you."
Huang Quan and his group possessed extraordinary bearing; the fact that Huang Quan alone carried the token of a high-level disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect was enough for the shopkeeper to take seriously.
Moreover, since making a living by reading people's faces outside, how could this shopkeeper ruin his own reputation? What a waste of his keen eye that he has honed to be able to see the special qualities of these people?
Of course, most importantly, after making a rough guess about the identities of the people, the shopkeeper naturally didn't mind doing them a favor. It didn't matter if he did it to the wrong people, since the top-tier rooms were going to be given away anyway, so he wouldn't lose money no matter what.
Then, as if sensing Jiang Wanyu's melancholy, the innkeeper continued, "Don't even think about looking for rooms at the restaurants next door... We're all full here. The situation at the other restaurants isn't much better. I can't even count the number of people who came to us this afternoon asking for rooms."
"But you don't need to worry. Our top-tier rooms are a bit pricey, but there's a reason for the higher price. It's not a problem for two or three people to stay in one room. In fact, we happen to have a double room and a single room left. It's quite convenient for four people to squeeze in."
After the innkeeper finished speaking, Jiang Wanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard that there were no rooms available, the girl thought she would have to make several trips around.
However, Jiang Wanyu hesitated before looking at Huang Quan, then suddenly froze. She saw that Liu Xiyao and Long Yuan had retreated behind Huang Quan at some point, their faces smiling as they looked at each other. But the atmosphere... made Jiang Wanyu shiver involuntarily, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.
Jiang Wanyu: ? ? ?
Seemingly not wanting Huang Quan to notice, the two tacitly retreated to the back.
Long Yuan's cold face held a faint smile, and the girl's exquisite face exuded a chilling beauty.
"Sister Wanyu~" Liu Xiyao also had a slight smile on her face. The girl had her hands behind her back and blinked her eyes innocently, as if she was completely unaware of the cold aura around Liu Xiyao.
“I’ve been thinking about it. I’m rather small, so a single room shouldn’t be too crowded. Sister Wanyu, you’ve been in the secret realm for so long, you must be very tired. That big room is just right for you to get some rest.”
"No, no, no, I don't feel tired at all. In fact, if anyone is tired, it's you. You've come all this way to see me. How could I let you squeeze into one room?" Jiang Wanyu said earnestly.
Neither of them uttered any threats or offensive words; instead, they seemed to be concerned for each other.
But listening to their conversation, Long Yuan couldn't help but hug her arm, feeling increasingly cold.
"Are all humans like this?" Upon seeing this, Long Yuan suddenly realized a very serious question. Immediately afterwards, she shuddered again, trembling and unable to speak.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiyao and Jiang Wanyu were both eyeing the room with Huang Quan, neither willing to give in easily.
However, one of them did it because of that reason, while the other simply wanted to eat more delicious food; their motivations were completely different.
Just as the two were glaring at each other with hatred, Huang Quan had already found the innkeeper, paid the spirit stones, and received the number plates for two top-tier rooms.
As a senior student, when we go out to book a hotel... well, how can I let a girl pay the bill when we're just staying at a regular restaurant?
"Tsk."
"But this restaurant is really expensive." After paying the spirit stones, Huang Quan felt a little uncomfortable; it wasn't even enough for him to stay here for two nights.
Liu Xiyao shook his sleeve.
"Meal tickets, quick, take me to see our room."
"I'm going to check out the room. I wonder if there's anything good to eat there," Liu Xiyao said expectantly.
"Oh." Huang Quan glanced at the girl indifferently, without thinking much about it. He subconsciously handed the larger room number to Jiang Wanyu, then took another room and left. Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to remind the others: "You can have the larger room. I'll stay alone. Remember to get up early tomorrow."
The boy finished speaking.
The remaining three exchanged glances and fell into deep thought. "????????????????"
Chapter 111 Senior Brother, are you free tomorrow? (4K)
Before he could even notice the petrified expressions on everyone's faces, Huang Quan quickly left.
However, Liu Xiyao was somewhat unwilling and secretly followed behind him.
Taking the ladder to the clouds prepared on the side of the restaurant, Huang Quan quickly found the room indicated by the number. The scenery along the way was also extraordinary, even though he had reached almost the top floor of Tongfu Inn.
Yet, in this "heaven on earth," one can still see small courtyards, winding corridors, and even, as one walks along the corridors, one can see "small bridges and flowing water" amidst the swirling clouds and mist.
Finally, the number plate was used to unlock the door's restriction, revealing a very spacious view. The room was spotless and had a faint sandalwood fragrance that was refreshing. Moreover, a top-grade spirit-nourishing array was prepared inside. For a low-level cultivator, cultivating here for one night was no less effective than consuming some excellent rare and precious treasures.
The interior was also very well furnished. Opening the openwork bamboo window allowed one to overlook the stunning view below. Next to it was an exquisite pear wood table covered with the Four Treasures of the Study. There were also various bookshelves filled with secular books, as well as some jade slips used by cultivators.
"These spirit stones were well spent," Huang Quan murmured. After glancing around and nodding, he went inside to thoroughly inspect the place, mainly to make sure there were no hidden surveillance devices. He was determined to be extremely cautious.
As for Liu Xiyao, her eyes were immediately drawn to the carefully prepared snacks on the table as soon as she entered the room, completely unaware that she had already been exposed.
Not long after Huang Quan and the others entered the room, Jiang Wanyu hurried over.
It was only after Jiang Wanyu came to her senses that she realized what had happened; while she was still hesitating…
Liu Xiyao became the biggest winner.
Jiang Wanyu appeared at the door soon, but just as she opened her mouth to call out to Huang Quan, she suddenly closed her mouth and looked at the tightly closed door.
Some people don't know what to say after calling out "Yellow Springs".
Should I just tell Huang Quan, "I want to share a room with you"?
"Such a thing?" she found herself unable to say it...
Especially for Jiang Wanyu, just thinking about the other party's questioning gaze made the girl feel her face burning.
She could handle everything on her path of cultivation with great efficiency, but the one thing the young girl couldn't resist was relationships between men and women.
Standing frozen at the doorway, staring at what lay before him, his mind raced, the scales of his emotions swaying wildly as he began another internal struggle.
"Sister Wanyu, come here quickly, there's something delicious here, do you want some? What brings you here?" Liu Xiyao seemed to hear footsteps and knew that Jiang Wanyu had arrived.
I was happy to take some pastries from my plate and share them with her.
Let's just assume it was her pastry.
Seeing the innocent smile on Liu Xiyao's face, Jiang Wanyu, who had been wary of her, was speechless for a moment.
The two then looked at each other again.
Jiang Wanyu suppressed his complicated thoughts, intending to swallow the result silently and not make any changes. At the same time, he thought to himself that compared to the naive Liu Xiyao, staying here was at least... better than being alone with Huang Quan and those somewhat strange fellow disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
A similar thought flashed through her mind, and then Jiang Wanyu silently looked away.
"No, I just came to see you. I suddenly realized that my room is right next door."
But halfway through her sentence, the girl glanced at the door next to her, her eyes lit up, and after a moment's thought, she had another idea.
Jiang Wanyu smiled again and said calmly, "I'm a little tired too, so I'll go back and rest first. Huang Quan also needs to rest. You're not going to stay and bother him, are you?"
Jiang Wanyu said, not giving Liu Xiyao any chance to refute, and pulled her away.
Liu Xiyao rolled her eyes angrily, but still didn't say anything. Anyway, she had the food, so she let Jiang Wanyu pull her away.
Liu Xiyao's mouth was stuffed full of pastries, and she looked completely bewildered, feeling that this person was acting strangely.
As they were talking, the door wasn't closed yet, and Jiang Wanyu suddenly froze in the hallway. She heard a loud bang coming from her room.
A few seconds later, Gu Qici's voice rang out again: "Please call the shopkeeper over. I accidentally broke the vase just now, and I'll make up for it."
"Okay...okay," Jiang Wanyu replied weakly.
But then again, was that sound really a vase breaking?
Inside the storage ring, Sword Granny's lips twitched slightly, her face serious: "You really don't intend to reveal your identity?"
"This is too shameful... I don't want to." Jiang Wanyu shook her head frantically, thinking about how she had ridden on top of him without any cover, and then ran downstairs feeling very guilty.
"These girls are really energetic." After checking that there were no problems with the room, Huang Quan was in the study reading miscellaneous essays on jade slips to pass the time when he heard the commotion outside. The young man was a little surprised. When he was flying on his sword, they were all drowsy and about to fall on him. How come they were all so energetic after returning here?
However, thinking back to his school days in his previous life, and the way some people behaved during class and after class, Huang Quan felt relieved and shook his head: "As long as they're happy."
He was indeed tired, mainly in terms of energy, after all, he had experienced many battles, and all of them were high-level.
So I'm going to watch some interesting talk shows, grab a bite to eat, and get a good night's rest.
Tomorrow, he should resume his favorite peaceful daily routine of spiritual practice.
Compared to showing off in public, Huang Quan prefers to quietly slack off. This time, he's caused such a big commotion, which should be enough for him to live a long time peacefully, right?
perhaps?
"There shouldn't be anything else happening tonight, right?"
Huang Quan murmured to himself, his mind returning to the jade slip in his hand.
In the room next to Huang Quan's, Gu Qi Ci appeared to be meditating on her bed, but in reality, she was investigating what was wrong with this clone so that she could prevent accidents from happening again.
On the bed to the side were Jiang Wanyu and Liu Xiyao.
To make things easier for Gu Qici, Jiang Wanyu gave her a separate bed, since the two weren't particularly familiar with each other.
For her, sleeping in the same bed with Liu Xiyao was a common occurrence in the past. But who could have imagined that the girl she watched grow up would eventually become her competitor?
At this moment, Gu Qici stood by the bed, her brows furrowed deeply.
Because the bed in front of her was piled with all kinds of clothes, both inner and outer garments, that Liu Xiyao had taken out, and the girl was humming a song softly.
Finally, she picked out what she wanted: "Sister Wanyu, I'm going to take a shower now."
"Could you please help me organize these clothes?"
"Hmph." Gu Qici snorted softly, "You little girl... you're as lazy as ever."
"When you grow up, let's see who will help you clean up."
"Hmm~" Liu Xiyao twisted her body and said coquettishly, "Anyway, Sister Wanyu loves me the most, she will definitely help me, right?"
"This is the last time, go take a bath, don't catch a cold..." Jiang Wanyu said irritably, but as she spoke, her voice lowered. Suddenly, she remembered that this girl had been on the path of cultivation for quite some time and was no longer that weak little girl.
The girl nowadays already shows signs of being exceptionally beautiful. Although her face still has a touch of childishness, her bright and beautiful eyes occasionally reveal a captivating charm that could bewitch a woman. Her delicate, alabaster-like figure, clad in thin clothing, also has a slight curve. Although she is petite, it cannot conceal her innate elegance, making her seem like a naturally born enchanting fairy.
At this moment, looking at Jiang Wanyu's absent-minded gaze and listening to the girl's words, Liu Xiyao's fair face also flushed pink. She was stunned for a moment, but then a slight smile appeared on her pretty face: "Hehe, Sister Wanyu is the best~ But, what are you thinking about, Sister Wanyu? With my special qualities, I won't catch a cold even if I'm left in the snow."
Liu Xiyao muttered to herself, then hopped over to Gu Qici's side, tiptoed, and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. As Gu Qici looked at her with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, Liu Xiyao giggled and ran off to the nearby bathing room.
Gu Qici frowned, watching the disrespectful girl run away. In the end, she said nothing, looked down at the messy clothes on the bed, and silently tidied them up. Liu Xiyao came to the bathtub filled with flower petals and hot water, touched her soft little chest, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I almost softened my heart towards Sister Wanyu."
"Hmm~ But with so many clothes, it'll take Sister Wanyu some time to pack them all. She probably won't have time to find Senior Brother." Thinking this, the girl lifted her fair, delicate foot and gently touched the hot water in the bathtub. After confirming the water temperature, she slowly soaked in and let out a comfortable hum.
As for Gu Qici, while picking up Liu Xiyao's clothes, she also released her senses to confirm that Liu Xiyao was staying obediently in the room. Then, the girl's gaze suddenly fell on the almost transparent talisman in Gu Qici's hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She hadn't expected the girl's move, but pretended not to notice. At the same time, a talisman in Gu Qici's hand quietly rolled to the ground, silently forming an array.
Gu Qici had already communicated with the transmission talisman.
"Senior brother, are you free tomorrow?"
