Hello, There's Only One Room Left
Heaven Dou Empire.
Heaven Dou City.
Su Mu and Zhu Zhuqing walked together along the streets of Heaven Dou City at night.
Su Mu had already sneaked a look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well earlier. There had been no problems.
"Hey, what exactly did we come here for?"
Walking beside Su Mu, Zhu Zhuqing spoke with a cold expression.
Su Mu glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.
He didn't know why, but ever since they entered the city and there were more people around,
Zhu Zhuqing's demeanor had grown somewhat cold.
She was nothing like she had been out in the wild.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"How many times have I told you?"
"Call me Brother Mu!"
Su Mu raised a hand to the back of Zhu Zhuqing's head and smacked it once for each "hey."
Zhu Zhuqing paid no attention to what Su Mu was doing. She neither dodged nor changed her expression.
What a tsundere.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Su Mu grumbled inwardly.
"Let's find a hotel and settle in first."
"Someone will come looking for me later."
Su Mu didn't know exactly where Golden Crocodile Douluo had gone, either.
He could only wait for Golden Crocodile Douluo to find him.
Su Mu led Zhu Zhuqing around the streets for a while.
They spotted a hotel.
So he led Zhu Zhuqing inside.
When the receptionist saw the two of them, even though she was a woman herself, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing's figure.
"How many rooms do you have left?"
Su Mu asked when he reached the front desk.
This was experience talking. Asking for either two rooms or one room wasn't particularly appropriate.
"Hello, there's only one room left."
The receptionist replied with a smile.
Su Mu looked at the receptionist with appreciation.
He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and saw that she still wore a cold expression, showing no sign of refusal.
Su Mu promptly paid and obtained the key to the room.
When he paid, Su Mu also gave the receptionist a little extra.
After entering the room, Su Mu locked the door behind him.
The cold look vanished from Zhu Zhuqing's face, replaced by a puffed-up, indignant expression.
She put her little hand behind her head and kept rubbing the back of it.
"You actually hit me just now," Zhu Zhuqing said, glaring at Su Mu.
With one hand behind her head, the part of Zhu Zhuqing that already stood out prominently stood out even more.
Su Mu looked her up and down.
He couldn't help clicking his tongue.
Seeing Su Mu's expression, Zhu Zhuqing thought of what had happened earlier again.
"I'm going to take a bath."
With that, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and ran off.
Looking at the graceful figure reflected through the frosted glass, constantly twisting and turning, and at the room's large bed,
Su Mu's mind wandered into fantasies, and he grew a little excited.
Just as Su Mu was wondering whether being too direct later would hurt this little wildcat,
or whether not taking the initiative would make him seem less manly,
a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Kid, come out."
Hearing that familiar voice,
Su Mu felt ten thousand grass mud horses galloping wildly through his heart.
Su Mu had intended to ignore it and pretend he hadn't heard a thing.
"Hurry up. It's urgent."
The voice rang out again.
Su Mu frowned.
He opened the door and walked out of the hotel, his face blazing with anger.
There had better be something important, or I'll make a belt out of crocodile skin.
After leaving the hotel, Su Mu spotted Golden Crocodile Douluo not far away, wearing a mischievous grin.
"Old man, what did you call me out here for?!"
Su Mu stormed up to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
He demanded an answer.
"Let's go. We're just waiting for you."
Golden Crocodile Douluo grinned mischievously, ignoring Su Mu's question.
"What couldn't wait until tomorrow?!"
"You really deserve to die."
The more Su Mu thought about it, the angrier he grew.
"Just follow me."
With that, Golden Crocodile Douluo headed off in one direction.
Helpless, Su Mu could only follow.
After turning a few corners,
Su Mu saw a luxurious carriage.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was now standing beside the carriage. He said something to the person inside, then beckoned Su Mu over.
Seeing this,
Su Mu had a rough guess in mind.
As for someone Golden Crocodile Douluo would treat like this,
not even Xue Ye, emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, would qualify.
That left only one possibility.
Xue Qinghe, or rather, Qian Renxue.
With that thought, Su Mu walked over to the carriage.
Golden Crocodile Douluo motioned for Su Mu to enter.
Su Mu shot Golden Crocodile Douluo a glare.
He was about to climb aboard when,
a gloved hand reached out from inside the carriage.
Su Mu froze for a moment, then understood.
He grasped the hand and used it for leverage to jump onto the carriage.
Although the hand was gloved,
the glove was very thin.
It was as if there were no glove at all; Su Mu could clearly feel how soft that little hand was.
After Su Mu entered, a somewhat handsome blond man met his eyes, elegant in bearing and composed in expression.
But Su Mu recognized at a glance that this was Xue Qinghe as described in the original story.
Qian Renxue should be in her twenties by now, right?
Her Soul Bone is quite amazing too. I just wonder whether her chest is soft or hard.
At that thought, Su Mu couldn't help remembering that when he had used his disguise skill to turn into a woman, she hadn't felt very nice to the touch.
I wonder if the Soul Bones of the Angel Set are any different.
Qian Renxue first gave Su Mu a faint smile.
Immediately afterward, Golden Crocodile Douluo entered the carriage as well.
"Hello, I'm Xue Qinghe, crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Once everyone was present, Xue Qinghe introduced himself.
As he spoke, he extended his right hand.
"Su Mu."
Su Mu gave his name, took Qian Renxue's hand, and shook it again.
Qian Renxue's gaze turned strange. She kept feeling that there was something off about the way Su Mu looked at her, and it made her somewhat uncomfortable.
She cast Golden Crocodile Douluo a questioning glance.
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head at the sight.
But he was also very puzzled.
Why was his young disciple looking at Qian Renxue like that when she had the appearance of a man?
Could it be?? Does my young disciple like more than just women??
At that thought, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression grew strange.
Only when Qian Renxue began pulling her hand back
did Su Mu let go, as if reluctant to part with it.
Su Mu studied the strange looks on their faces.
He thought to himself,
I'm really angry right now.
I was just about to undergo the transformation from boy to man.
And then I got called over here.
Anyway, there's tofu to be eaten, so why pass it up?
They don't know that I know the truth, either.
And so Su Mu stared fixedly at Qian Renxue, who looked like Xue Qinghe,
sizing her up and down.
He thought, I'll gross you two out to death.
Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile Douluo exchanged a glance.
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat awkward.
"Ahem, ahem."
"Su Mu, can you try disguising yourself as the person in front of you?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to break the awkward silence, coughing twice.
Su Mu was somewhat puzzled.
Why do they want me to turn into Xue Qinghe??
Could it be that Qian Renxue wants to leave??
