Dai Mubai Got the MVP, While Luo Ye Just Rode the Win

All right.

"You're wasted as a front desk clerk. With your sharp eye for people, you'll be sitting in the manager's chair sooner or later, my friend."

Luo Ye smiled almost imperceptibly, though he frowned on the surface.

"One room?"

The clerk nodded vigorously.

"Yes, only one room is left. But don't worry, our rooms are very spacious and fully equipped. Two people can stay comfortably."

As he finished, the clerk gave Luo Ye a meaningful look.

In his previous life, Luo Ye had often worked together with hotel clerks like this as a ladies' man, so he naturally understood the look with ease.

But Luo Ye ignored it and turned to ask with apparent distress.

"What should we do, Zhu Qing? Should we try another hotel?"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately fell into a dilemma upon hearing that.

According to what Luo Ye had written in the diary, staying at the Rose Hotel would let her see Dai Mubai's true colors firsthand, and that was an opportunity she did not want to miss.

But that meant sharing a room with Luo Ye. Even though the diary's contents had given her a very favorable impression of him, she had never considered sleeping in the same bed as him.

Still, after hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing decided to stay. At worst, she could sleep on the floor and let Luo Ye have the bed. She absolutely could not miss the chance to see Dai Mubai's true face with her own eyes.

Having made her decision, Zhu Zhuqing said directly,

"No need to change hotels. We'll stay here."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing took out Gold Soul Coins from her storage Soul Tool. As the young lady of the Zhu Clan, while she was not as wealthy as Ning Rongrong, she was still quite a little rich girl.

Before she could place the money on the counter, however, a voice came from behind her.

"Hello, we'd like two rooms."

The clerk glanced over and saw another teenage boy-and-girl pair. The girl accompanying him was no less beautiful than Zhu Zhuqing, but the boy was not even worthy of carrying Luo Ye's shoes.

The clerk accepted Zhu Zhuqing's Gold Soul Coins while replying absentmindedly.

"Sorry, the last room has already been booked by these two guests."

Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing turned around at the same time and immediately saw Tang San and Xiao Wu entering through the hotel doors.

After exchanging glances, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu beside him and said somewhat helplessly,

"No choice, Xiao Wu. We can only find another hotel."

Xiao Wu?

Then this guy was the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon Tang San Luo Ye had mentioned?

Zhu Zhuqing silently sized up the utterly ordinary-looking Tang San. At least, she could not see anything special about him.

But according to what Luo Ye had written in the diary, this guy had been pretending from beginning to end, only revealing his true nature after becoming powerful. It was normal that she could not spot anything unusual about him for now.

While Zhu Zhuqing observed Tang San, Xiao Wu was also sizing up Luo Ye. From the contents of the diary, she already knew who the two before her were.

Yet at that moment, the Diary Instance in both girls' minds stirred simultaneously, prompting them to check it at once.

After hurrying all this way, I finally made it in time. Tang San has already brought Xiao Wu to the Rose Hotel, so Dai Mubai should be making his entrance next, right?

As if his words had become reality, just as Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu finished reading that line, a wickedly arrogant voice rang out.

"I believe this room should belong to me, shouldn't it?"

Luo Ye, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all looked over at once. Three figures had entered the hotel and were walking toward the counter.

They were one man and two women. Both girls were dressed flamboyantly and looked around seventeen or eighteen, with tall, slender figures. Most astonishingly, their faces were identical—they were a pair of twins.

The twin sisters stood on either side of Dai Mubai, each holding one of his arms.

Although Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had long been engaged, they had met only a handful of times when they were young.

Once they grew older, Dai Mubai had simply chosen to run away.

Even so, Zhu Zhuqing recognized at a glance that he was her fiancé.

After all, only members of the Star Luo Imperial Family had eyes that looked diseased due to the White Tiger Martial Soul, with double pupils in each eye.

Dai Mubai!

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing finally understood what Luo Ye had meant in the diary by Dai Mubai's true face.

Unable to bear the immense pressure of fighting for the throne, he had secretly abandoned his fiancée and run away.

Zhu Zhuqing had originally thought he wanted to overtake the competition from another path, cultivating diligently somewhere no one could see.

But what was the result?

This guy had actually brought a pair of twins to a hotel?

Was this Dai Mubai's method of cultivation?

So Dai Mubai had run away not because he wanted to find a way to surpass Dai Weisi, but because he had already given up on himself. Before the Star Luo Empire's struggle for the throne was settled, he wanted to enjoy everything he could, was that it?

A man like that was nothing but the most useless kind of coward!

The last shred of hope Zhu Zhuqing had been holding onto finally died.

On her way to Suotuo City, she had still been struggling with how she should face Luo Ye if Dai Mubai was cultivating hard, intending to return to the Star Luo Empire someday and save her.

But now, it seemed she had been deluding herself from the very beginning.

Dai Mubai, immersed in pleasure, had long since cast aside his fiancée.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze became even more sorrowful.

Her fiancé in name had ignored her completely and left her to bear the pressure alone. Meanwhile, Luo Ye had given up the better choice of Spirit Hall just to save her from this ordeal.

If that's the case, then from this moment on, I'll consider that engagement annulled.

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, having already made her decision.

Luo Ye's attention had remained on Zhu Zhuqing the entire time. With his powerful Spiritual Power, he could sense the changes in her state of mind even more clearly.

After making up stories all the way here, I'm finally seeing some results.

Zhu Zhuqing had completely despaired of Dai Mubai. Combined with the things he had fabricated in the diary, he likely would not need to put in much effort from here on out to easily win this little kitty's heart.

However, in Luo Ye's eyes, the MVP of this entire plan was undoubtedly Dai Mubai. He himself was merely a freeloader riding the win.

With that thought, Luo Ye looked at Dai Mubai with an amused gaze, his heart filled with gratitude.

Once he won Zhu Zhuqing over, he would definitely have to properly express his thanks to Dai Mubai. He needed Dai Mubai to know that if not for his cooperation, it would never have been so easy for him to succeed.

Luo Ye wanted to take back every bad thing he had ever said about Dai Mubai. Personally pushing his fiancée into another man's arms—this guy was truly such a great guy!
