However, Xiao Wu knew that Zhuqing had come all the way from the Star Luo Empire to find a man, who might even be her boyfriend. Realizing this, she was slightly relieved.
Ding! Congratulations, Host! The Speed God has developed a slight fondness and curiosity towards you, triggering a critical reward: the Xuan Yuan Sword Sheath, and your first spirit ring's age has increased by five thousand years.
Xiao Tian: ???
Xiao Tian, who was cultivating in another tent, suddenly received a system reward and was full of questions. He hadn't done anything to Zhu Zhuqing, yet she already had a good impression of him?
It felt like someone was sitting at home and trouble came knocking.
But he liked it!
He didn't know if Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had said something to make Zhu Zhuqing curious about him.
He could only say that it was a great assist!
But what was the use of this Xuan Yuan Sword Sheath?
Xiao Tian was full of doubts. Could it be just for protecting the sword blade?
As his Spirit, Fifteen didn't need maintenance or protection, right?
Moreover, Fifteen usually didn't come out, so he couldn't even use this Xuan Yuan Sword Sheath.
Helpless, Xiao Tian could only temporarily let the Xuan Yuan Sword Sheath gather dust in his spirit tool.
Perhaps, it would be useful when his Fifteen evolved into the Xuanyuan Sword later on?
By noon the next day, Xiao Tian and his group finally arrived at Soto City.
"Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and then explore the city. How does that sound?"
Xiao Wu said excitedly.
Soto City was considered a big city, incomparable to Nuoding City. She had traveled for so long and really wanted to explore.
Everyone nodded, indicating they had no objections.
Originally, Xiao Tian and Tang San had suggested finding a small hotel to stay in since it was only for one night.
However, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both said there was no need to save money. The former was a noble with a wealthy family and didn't lack money.
The latter wanted to see what a big city's grand hotel was like.
So, coincidentally, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both chose the largest hotel in Soto City.
Rose Hotel.
Xiao Tian silently mourned for Dai Mubai for a second. It couldn't be that he happened to walk in with twin beauties, could it?
Xiao Tian couldn't quite remember when Dai Mubai walked in. These were minor details and not important.
When they arrived at the front desk, the receptionist saw Xiao Tian and his group of five and acted completely normal, lazily asking, "How many rooms do you plan to book?"
"Two double rooms, one standard single room."
Xiao Tian said calmly.
It seemed Dai Mubai wouldn't be coming over at this time, right?
In the original work, the receptionist said there was only one room left and gave it to Tang San and Xiao Wu. Who knew that Dai Mubai would then walk in with a pair of twins, and upon seeing it, realized it was the room he had originally booked, a mistake by the receptionist, which then led to the subsequent conflict.
Xiao Tian paid the deposit, handed the other two room cards to Xiao Wu and Tang San, and was about to go to the room when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Receptionist, where is my reserved room?"
At the entrance, Dai Mubai walked in, embracing a pair of twins, with one arm around each, and kissed both beauties on their pretty faces.
The receptionist saw the person and showed a fawning smile: "Young Master Dai, rest assured, your room has already been reserved for you, and we've even prepared many small items inside for you. The entire room has been arranged according to your requirements."
Xiao Tian shook his head helplessly. Dai Mubai, oh Dai Mubai, you really know how to pick your timing.
However, in the original work, Zhu Zhuqing also saw Dai Mubai and the twins doing that kind of thing. One could only say.
If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it.
Good luck to him!
"Good, good, good, well done! This silver coin is your tip."
Dai Mubai casually tossed a silver coin into the receptionist's hand.
The receptionist also smiled cheerily. His monthly salary was only three silver coins. Young Master Dai was truly Young Master Dai; a single tip was one-third of his salary.
He really had to say, Spirit Masters were great; they never lacked money. He was truly envious.
If he were a Spirit Master, he wouldn't be a receptionist.
Immediately, Dai Mubai's gaze turned to Xiao Tian and the others who had already turned around. To be precise, three-tenths of his gaze was on Xiao Wu, and seven-tenths was on Zhu Zhuqing.
From the very beginning, he had felt a resonance from his Spirit. When he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, he didn't know why, but there was always a sense of familiarity. (The two had never met before)
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's face had turned terrifyingly cold, her eyes fixed on the very distinctive pair of eyes on Dai Mubai's face.
This was a characteristic brought by the Star Luo Dai family's Spirit, the Evil Eyes White Tiger: heterochromatic pupils.
Coupled with the unusual movement of her own Spirit, she immediately knew that the person in front of her should be Dai Mubai, the Third Prince of Star Luo, who had been betrothed to her since childhood!
Ever since she learned that Dai Mubai had fled the Star Luo Empire three years ago, she felt as if her world had collapsed.
Dai Mubai was a coward!
Leaving her, a woman, in the Star Luo Empire to face Dai Weisi and her own older sister.
It was also for this reason that she had cultivated so desperately for the past three years.
But even so, she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that perhaps Dai Mubai was avoiding the royal family's gaze, secretly improving his strength.
She wanted to defy fate, or to put it more clearly, she didn't want to die! She didn't want her cultivation to be crippled!
Although she hated this kind of arranged marriage, to avoid death, she could try to participate in the royal family's competitive assessment with Dai Mubai.
She hadn't thought about escaping the Zhu family and the Empire after her strength increased, but she knew that the possibility of escaping the Empire's pursuit was not high.
Just her journey from the Star Luo Empire to here, she didn't know how many waves of pursuit she had experienced along the way. It was just her good luck, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Empire.
After Yu Xiaogang's words yesterday, that glimmer of hope in her heart immediately increased from one to five or six points.
But now, looking at Dai Mubai's expression of debauchery.
She knew her hope was shattered!
Xiao Tian: Naive Zhuqing, do you think it's possible that your sister deliberately let you leave to find Dai Mubai? Otherwise, with you being a Spirit Grandmaster and having no practical combat experience, no matter how lucky you are, it would be impossible to escape the Empire's pursuit!
And Xiao Wu and the others standing beside Zhu Zhuqing could clearly feel the icy coldness emanating from Zhu Zhuqing.
Everyone's expressions were different.
Yu Xiaogang: Oh no, could this be Dai Mubai?
Tang San looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Wu frowned slightly: Could this be the person Zhuqing came all the way from the Star Luo Empire to find, just to pick up girls?
Xiao Tian: Just wait to die.
