You Dare Get on the Bed, I'll Kick You Off!

After Le Ling left, Steward Yao, who had been driving the carriage slowly behind the two of them, got down and quickly walked over to his master.

"My lord, should I apply some medicine?"

When he had seen Miss Le Ling bite his master's arm earlier, while his master endured it without complaint, he could only marvel at how doting he was!

At the mention of medicine, Qian Daoliu shook his head.

Watching Le Ling enter an inn, he said, "We'll stay there tonight. Park the carriage properly. Tomorrow, Ling'er and I will enter the forest. You'll wait for us at the inn."

"Yes, my lord."

Steward Yao turned around, took hold of the reins, and headed toward the inn's rear courtyard, where carriages were kept.

Qian Daoliu also quickly headed into the lobby of the inn Le Ling had chosen.

Inside the inn lobby.

Since this town was the closest resting stop to the Star Dou Great Forest, many people came through it.

In particular, there were even more Soul Masters who had come to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings. Soul Masters tended to be wealthy enough to afford better inns.

It happened to be the peak check-in period, so quite a few people were registering for rooms.

After entering the inn, Qian Daoliu looked around and spotted Le Ling waiting in line to check in. He quickly walked over and joined the line behind her.

Twenty minutes later, it was Le Ling's turn.

Just as she was about to ask the front desk for a single room, Qian Daoliu, standing behind her, beat her to it. He directly placed a stored-value card on the counter and said, "One double room with a large bed."

The receptionist picked up the card and looked at Le Ling.

Qian Daoliu immediately added, "We're together."

Le Ling had not intended to pay him any attention and had merely treated it as him cutting in line, but the moment she heard him say, "We're together," she bristled. "Who's together with you?!"

With that, she took out another stored-value card and placed it on the counter. "I want a single room."

Hu Liena had specifically given her this card yesterday after learning that she would be traveling far today.

The receptionist was put in a difficult position!

It was obvious that the two knew each other and were probably lovers, but they were arguing now.

Qian Daoliu quickly took the stored-value card she had placed on the counter and said to the receptionist again, "Listen to me. One double room with a large bed."

"You..."

Le Ling turned and glared at him furiously.

"Give me back my card!"

She no longer wanted to stay here. She wanted to switch inns and could not be bothered arguing with him!

Qian Daoliu knew that this was probably her only card, so there was even less chance of him returning it.

Knowing she was acting out of spite, and to keep her from running away, the man directly wrapped an arm around her waist from behind. Then he said to the receptionist once more, "One room with a large bed! Hurry!!"

"Let go of me!!!"

Le Ling struggled, trying to pry his hand away, but she simply did not have enough strength!

The sounds of her struggle drew the attention of the surrounding guests, but everyone assumed the two lovers were having an argument, so it seemed perfectly normal.

Still, their good looks made the crowd glance at them a few extra times.

As for the receptionist, she had the attitude of someone staying out of other people's business. She could not interfere in lovers' quarrels; she only needed to handle the guest who paid.

So, she swiftly completed the check-in procedures for a room with a large bed.

Once the paperwork was done, the receptionist put on a professional fake smile and handed the stored-value card and room key to the handsome blond man with both hands.

"Dear guest, your check-in has been completed. We wish you both a pleasant stay!"

Qian Daoliu gave a quiet acknowledgment.

He took the stored-value card and room key, placed them in his Storage Soul Guiding Device, tightened his hold around Le Ling's waist, and picked her up with one arm as he headed for the staircase.

Steward Yao stood at the end of the check-in line.

Watching one forcibly restrain the other while the other struggled like an angry cat, he shook his head and sighed.

Miss Le Ling was hard to coax. Master, take it easy!

During the check-in process just now, Le Ling had kept struggling despite being unable to break free. Even now, as she was being carried away, she was still struggling!

But clearly, a Soul Elder who did not even have a soul ring was no match for a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo!

"Qian Daoliu! Let go of me! You're squeezing my stomach so hard it hurts!!" Le Ling shouted angrily at the man.

The man carrying her down the corridor heard her words and immediately bent over, shifted her position, and carried her in his arms as he continued toward the room.

At the end of the corridor, in front of a room.

Qian Daoliu temporarily put her down, but one large hand still gripped her waist tightly to keep her from running away.

With his other hand, he took the room key from his Storage Soul Guiding Device and opened the door.

The door opened.

He carried Le Ling inside, sat down on the large bed, and naturally settled her sideways across his lap.

The woman glared at him with angry eyes.

The man stroked her cheek with one large hand and asked softly, "Ling'er, why did you leave without saying goodbye back then? Can you tell me?"

Le Ling slapped his hand away and struggled out of his embrace.

"My mother was critically ill then. My father personally came to find me and told me to return immediately."

Mother? Father?

"Ling'er, aren't you from the Douluo Continent?"

This question had troubled Qian Daoliu for a long time.

"After you left back then, apart from the half year when my father kept me under watch in Spirit Hall, before I became the Great Offering, I traveled through nearly every corner of the Douluo Continent to find you, yet I could never find you!

"After I took over as the Great Offering, although I had to remain in the Worship Hall, I still sent people to continue searching for you. Thinking about it now, the only reason we could not find you was because you were not from the Douluo Continent, right?"

He looked at Le Ling gently, hoping for an answer.

Le Ling turned her head away, afraid that she would once again fall into his tenderness.

Walking to the windowsill, she said calmly, "I'm indeed not from the Douluo Continent. I'm from the Five Elements Continent. My father was the Spirit Emperor of the Five Elements Continent."

Mentioning her father made her remember the scene before his death once again. Back then, blood had stained her vision red!

She closed her eyes, her heart aching too much for her to want to remember any further!

Seeing that her complexion was poor, Qian Daoliu rose nervously and walked over. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He reached out, wanting to hold her and comfort her.

But Le Ling refused to let him near and forcefully pushed him away.

"Don't touch me!"

With that, she headed straight for the room door.

Knowing she wanted to leave, Qian Daoliu swiftly grabbed her wrist.

"You sleep in the bed, and I'll sleep on the sofa. I promise I won't touch you. I just want to stay by your side."

Le Ling glanced at him over her shoulder and warned, "If you dare get on the bed, I'll kick you off!"

With that, she shook off his hand, walked to the large bed, removed her outer robe, trousers, shoes, and socks, then climbed into bed.

Qian Daoliu walked over to the bedside and asked, "Aren't you going to eat dinner?"

Le Ling pulled the blanket over her head and ignored him.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Qian Daoliu went to open it and saw Steward Yao outside. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Ling'er doesn't want to go out to eat. Go buy some food and bring it back."

As he spoke, he turned and returned to the room. He picked up paper and a pen from the table, wrote down several dishes Le Ling liked, and handed the note to the steward.

"Yes, my lord."

Steward Yao accepted the note and turned to leave.

Qian Daoliu sat on the sofa beside the bed, cultivating cross-legged as he waited for Steward Yao to return with dinner.

Though he was not sure whether Le Ling would eat, at least she would have something to eat once she got hungry.

Just as he had entered meditation, he suddenly heard the person on the bed, who had quickly fallen asleep, make a pained sound.
