Considerate Hotel Management

The terrifying pressure of a Titled Douluo swept through the entire hall, forcing the nobles watching the show and the reckless servants to the ground, where they sprawled like dogs.

Terror filled their eyes. Their bodies, clad in luxurious clothing, trembled uncontrollably, their faces full of disbelief.

Eight ten-thousand-year soul rings—how could such a soul ring configuration exist?!

Gu Shenggo held Hu Yun and Bai Yujie in his arms as he looked at the servant kneeling before him, already scared senseless and wetting himself. His eyes were filled with disgust as he spoke coldly, his voice laced with revulsion.

"Give me the best room you have. Is that a problem?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a round, obese figure came tumbling down the stairs, shouting as he ran, terrified of being even a moment too late.

"No problem! No problem!"

Gu Shenggo turned to look and withdrew his pressure. However, the eight black soul rings continued to slowly revolve around him, deep and terrifying, inspiring awe.

The fat man, Kax, swallowed hard at the sight of those eight ten-thousand-year soul rings. His plump, round face was full of reverence and lingering fear.

Seeing Gu Shenggo withdraw his pressure, he immediately put on a fawning, ingratiating smile and ran over like a giant meatball. He spoke respectfully and humbly.

"Honored Soul Douluo, the room you requested will be prepared immediately. Please calm your anger."

"Lead the way."

Gu Shenggo gave Kax a sideways glance and withdrew his soul rings into his body. He spoke indifferently and did not continue venting his anger on the servant.

Because he knew the servant was finished. There was no need to dirty his hands any further.

When Gu Shenggo withdrew his soul rings, Kax secretly rejoiced that he had arrived early. Otherwise, this man would surely have torn the hotel apart, and Kax would not have known how to explain it to His Highness the Crown Prince.

He hurriedly invited Gu Shenggo and the others upstairs. Before leaving, he turned and shot the servant a vicious glare. That idiot had nearly gotten him killed!

Unfortunately, Kax's cultivation was insufficient. Otherwise, his glare alone would have killed the servant countless times over.

However, the servant seemed to have been frightened senseless. Urine covered the floor as she continued muttering, "Impossible," and "It must be fake."

The nobles in the hall climbed to their feet, their expressions somewhat ugly. They were high-born nobles, yet they had been forced to kneel on the ground. Rage filled their hearts.

But they did not dare take it out on Gu Shenggo, nor did they dare complain.

After all, an eight-ring Soul Douluo with eight ten-thousand-year soul rings, and so young besides, was bound to become a Titled Douluo in the future. He was not someone they could afford to offend.

The gazes of the many nobles fell upon the terrified servant, their eyes filled with malice. Today's humiliation was all because of that reckless servant. One after another, they began plotting how to torment her.

"My lord, what do you think of this room?"

Inside an incomparably luxurious room on the fourth floor, Kax respectfully and humbly asked Gu Shenggo.

Gu Shenggo released Hu Yun and Bai Yujie, then turned to survey the surroundings. The decorations were elegant and exquisite, brilliant with gold and jade. The walls were carved with lifelike swan patterns, while the carpet was made from the finest cloud silk. Delicate, high-class vases were filled with all manner of precious flowers, whose fragrance permeated the entire room. It was even more luxurious than the room Gu Shenggo had stayed in at the Shui Family.

"Not bad. How many gold coins?"

What satisfied Gu Shenggo most about this room was not its decor. Through the window, he could see Moonlight Pavilion directly across from it.

Hearing this, Kax hurriedly shook his large head and said fawningly.

"My lord, how could I dare charge you? Please consider this an apology. I hope you can forget the unpleasantness from earlier."

Hearing that it was free, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Gu Shenggo's face. He knew how to behave.

"Mm. You may leave."

Kax was a shrewd fat man. Looking at the pair of "sisters" who had come with Gu Shenggo, he knew what Gu Shenggo intended to do. Without saying another word, he obediently left the room.

The first thing to do after entering a room was inspect the bathroom.

Gu Shenggo turned to look at the transparent bathroom. Inside was a massive bathing pool that could accommodate several people, adorned with exquisite relief carvings and some special arrangements.

It had to be said that this hotel truly understood people.

It knew that bathrooms could be used for more than just bathing.

After spending so long in the carriage, Gu Shenggo had barely had a proper bath. He was covered in Hu Yun and Bai Yujie's scent, rich and decadent. It was time to wash himself properly.

"Accompany me while I bathe."

Gu Shenggo ordered Hu Yun and Bai Yujie. Bathing alone was far too boring. Naturally, it was more interesting with company.

Hu Yun and Bai Yujie understood at once. With seductive smiles, they entered the bathroom together and attended to Gu Shenggo's bath.

News that an eight-ring Soul Douluo with eight ten-thousand-year soul rings had appeared in Heaven Dou Imperial City soon spread throughout the entire city.

The nobles and soul masters who heard the news were all stunned.

After all, Douluo Continent had never seen a soul master with eight ten-thousand-year soul rings before.

Quite a few great nobles began thinking of ways to recruit that Soul Douluo. Even Spirit Hall was no exception.

Within Moonlight Pavilion, in an elegant private room filled with orchids and permeated by a delicate fragrance.

Kax was respectfully reporting what had happened at the hotel to a refined young man with handsome features and luxurious attire.

After hearing his report, the refined young man's expression changed. There was surprise, astonishment, and above all, solemnity.

"I understand. You may leave. Remember, keep a close watch on that Titled Douluo's movements."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Kax nodded respectfully, his fat body slowly retreating.

The refined young man was none other than Xue Qinghe, who had recently inherited the position of Heaven Dou Crown Prince.

"An eight-ring Soul Douluo, all ten-thousand-year soul rings. Besides Grandfather and that woman, there is actually someone else with such a soul ring configuration. Just who could he be?"

Xue Qinghe murmured to himself. Someone who possessed eight ten-thousand-year soul rings was even more terrifying than a Titled Douluo. He needed to find an opportunity to make contact with him.

Gu Shenggo's appearance threw Heaven Dou Imperial City into turmoil. Hidden currents surged as everyone considered how to approach and recruit him.

Duke Luo Ya Estate

As one of the Heaven Dou Empire's eight great dukes, Duke Luo Ya's residence was incomparably luxurious. It occupied a vast area, with crowds of attendants and servants and strict defenses. Silver-armored soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere.

The soldiers' gazes were sharp and carried a faint chill. They gripped long spears wreathed in dense killing intent, while powerful soul masters stood guard in the shadows, protecting the estate.

"Hmm? You didn't see wrong?"

Inside the estate's main hall, Duke Luo Ya, though over seventy years old, was still vigorous and strong. Holding two young, beautiful women in his arms, he looked somewhat surprised as he listened to the report from the minor noble before him.

The minor noble was the very man who had recognized Hu Yun at the hotel earlier. He hurriedly nodded, confirming that he had not seen wrong.

Seeing the minor noble's certainty, Duke Luo Ya's expression changed drastically, becoming incomparably gloomy. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he shoved the two women in his arms aside and spoke coldly.

"That bitch actually dared return to Heaven Dou City. She's courting death!"

(Let's go!)
