Mo Lang's changes, though not as great as Xiao Wu's, were still quite significant compared to Tang San's.
Being a year and a half older than Tang San, Mo Lang had now reached a height of 1.82 meters. He stood half a head taller than Xiao Wu and more than half a head taller than Tang San.
Five years had turned his once-childish face resolute. With sharp brows, bright eyes, and a head of short, tousled hair, he looked valiant and striking.
Especially after five years of blacksmithing at the Blacksmith Shop, his physique had become even more robust. His chest and back had filled out considerably, and his upright posture gave him an added air of masculinity.
The only thing that had not changed was the wicked smile on his handsome face, one glance enough to make it unforgettable.
Tang San, meanwhile, was only around 1.7 meters tall. He wore a fitted blue outfit, with Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night, the Soul Guiding Device Yu Xiaogang had given him, fastened around his waist. Unlike Mo Lang, there was always a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
"Who cares what's so special about it? Since we're here, we might as well settle in. I'm sick of staying in Notting City anyway. It'll be nice to get out and take a look around. The world is so big—I want to see it." Mo Lang pretended not to know.
Inside, however, he was roaring with excitement. He was finally about to begin his fifth sign-in. He had waited a full six years for this!
Heaven knew how he had survived those six years!
If Xiao Wu had not kept him company through countless lonely nights, he truly could not have imagined it. In novels, six years passed in the blink of an eye, but he had endured those six years bit by bit!
Fortunately, his current strength was still quite satisfying. He was now only one step away from becoming a Soul King!
That was right—Mo Lang was already a level 49 Soul Ancestor!
"My lord, we've arrived. Heaven on Earth is Suotuo City's most luxurious hotel, with the finest food. Its most famous dish is Heaven on Earth's signature Fallen Fairy."
Before long, the carriage stopped again, and the coachman's respectful voice came from outside.
"Alright, you've worked hard. Here are five Gold Soul Coins. Take them."
Mo Lang lifted the carriage curtain. With a flick of his right hand, the Void Ring on his middle finger flashed, and five Gold Soul Coins suddenly appeared in his palm. He handed them to the coachman.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Seeing that it was five times the one Gold Soul Coin he had quoted, the coachman immediately looked delighted. He respectfully accepted them, carefully tucked them into his clothes, and thanked him repeatedly.
Over the past few years, Mo Lang had relied on the system's hundredfold critical-hit rebates to amass a fortune of hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins. He did not care about such a mere five coins.
He could have given ten Gold Soul Coins, but he feared the man might not dare accept them. After all, Suotuo City was not some small place like Notting City. All sorts of people gathered here, and having too much money was not necessarily a good thing.
"This Heaven on Earth looks pretty grand. No wonder it dares use such a name. I wonder whether the food is really as delicious as the rumors say."
Looking at the nine-story hotel before him, lavishly decorated in gold and jade, Mo Lang could not help recalling the Heaven on Earth from his previous life.
That had been quite a place too.
Suotuo City was far larger than Notting City, and its streets bustled with life. Heaven on Earth stood on Suotuo City's central street, where there were even more people and patrol soldiers could be seen everywhere.
"How many guests, sir? Would you like a private room, or—"
The moment Mo Lang stepped down from the carriage, a curvaceous, scantily clad woman emerged from Heaven on Earth and asked in a seductive voice.
"Three people. A private room!"
Just as Mo Lang was about to speak, Xiao Wu stepped between him and the woman and answered with an unfriendly expression.
"Certainly. Please follow me."
The woman did not mind. Instead, she was somewhat amazed by Xiao Wu's figure and appearance. Seeing how much Xiao Wu cared about Mo Lang, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, making Xiao Wu feel a little embarrassed.
"Haha, Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Mo Lang knowingly asked with a teasing expression.
"You still have the nerve to ask!" Xiao Wu shot Mo Lang a glare and said fiercely, "Today, I'm going to eat you bankrupt for staring at other women!"
"I didn't."
"Really? Then was the rose on her chest pretty?"
"Wasn't it a butterfly?"
"And you still say you weren't looking!"
"..."
Tang San had long grown accustomed to Lang-ge and Xiao Wu bickering like this.
What he could not understand was why those two spent most of their time eating, drinking, and having fun, yet progressed faster than he did in cultivation.
Could it really be because of dual cultivation?
Mo Lang had lied to Tang San about dual cultivation in order to keep him from foolishly doing nothing but cultivate. He wanted Tang San to date more while he was young.
Yet Tang San had no intention of finding a girlfriend at all, so Mo Lang had no choice but to tell him there was a dual cultivation technique.
As for dual cultivation, Tang San had only vaguely heard of it in his previous life. After all, he had been a genuine virgin in his past life. He knew everything there was to know about Hidden Weapons, but when it came to women, he knew nothing at all.
"Move aside! A good dog doesn't block the road. You're in this young master's way."
Just as Tang San was wondering whether he should find a girl to date, an extremely arrogant voice sounded behind him.
Mo Lang and Xiao Wu stopped as well, frowned, and turned around.
The moment he saw the man, Mo Lang was surprised. He knew him—it was none other than Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, with a pair of twins in his arms!
He had never expected to encounter Dai Mubai before even going to the Rose Hotel to rent a room.
Judging by Dai Mubai's appearance, he had likely brought the twins here for a meal and had merely run into them by coincidence.
"Who are you calling a little dog? You don't look like a good person yourself. You dare bully Xiao San? Did you ask me first?" The moment Xiao Wu saw Dai Mubai embracing two beauties, she immediately stepped forward and spoke.
Tang San had a rather mild temperament, while Mo Lang was even more easygoing. Only Xiao Wu had a fiery personality—otherwise, she would not have wanted to become Notting College's big sister.
"Heh, it's been a long time since anyone dared speak to me like that. You all have Soul Power fluctuations too, so you must be soul masters. Then the three of you can come at me together. If you can beat me, I'll bark like a dog. If you can't, then you'll perform a dog bark for me."
Dai Mubai sneered. His demonic double pupils swept coldly over Mo Lang and the others, his tone frivolous as though he did not regard any of them as worthy of notice.
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who?"
Seeing how arrogant he was, Xiao Wu could not help charging forward, but Mo Lang grabbed her and held her back.
"Let's talk this out, let's talk this out! Gentlemen, let's talk this out!"
At that moment, Heaven on Earth's owner hurried out and spoke to Mo Lang and the others.
Of course he recognized Dai Mubai, a regular and honored guest of Heaven on Earth!
As for the other three, their clothing and bearing were clearly not ordinary either. Especially that black-clad youth with a smile at the corner of his lips and an air of wickedness around him—his clear eyes were fixed on the owner with an unfathomable look. It seemed that if the owner said anything that displeased him, the consequences might be even worse than offending Young Master Dai. For a moment, he did not know whose side to take.
