"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."
"Of course... I'll go right away... Please wait a moment..."
Looking at the waitress, who was too excited to speak, Ye Xingchen gave a faint, wry smile.
This was his first real glimpse, out in the world, of just how wealthy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was.
Glancing at Rongrong, he teased:
"This token is basically a black card, isn't it?"
"So this is what it feels like to have a rich woman."
Black card?
Puzzled, Rongrong tilted her head up slightly to look at Ye Xingchen, rubbed her chin, and asked:
"What's a black card?"
"Can it compare to a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect token? With such an ugly name, it must look awful, right?"
Ye Xingchen folded his arms and shook his head slightly, not bothering to explain.
Glancing at the waitress as she approached, he was just about to take the token that resembled a room key card.
But a silver-white dagger with a red ribbon stabbed into the counter in front of the room key card first.
He frowned as three figures slowly approached beside them.
There were two women and one man. The man was tall, handsome in an androgynous way, while the women had voluptuous figures and alluring faces. One glance told him they were no ordinary people.
"The Top Suite is mine. You two can go..."
"Oh? This girl looks good. I like her. What a figure..."
"Oh? This guy looks good too. I like him..."
The waitress behind the counter froze for a moment when she saw that the town governor's son had arrived.
She hurried forward with an apologetic smile and said:
"Young Master Bruce, today you..."
Before she could finish, Bruce, who had an arm around each woman, shook his head and interrupted:
"I know what you mean. I won't make a mess here today. These two little vixens are enough!"
"Now tell them to get lost. Leave the room for me. I've got business to take care of!"
With that, he couldn't help hugging the two women as though showing them off.
The women giggled and teased:
"That's right. Aren't you going to make way for Young Master Bruce?"
"Stay any longer, and you'll spoil our fun!"
At these words, the waitress's face instantly flushed red!
That wasn't what she meant!
These two are distinguished people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! What does a mere governor's son like you amount to?
She shook her head and said with a bitter smile:
"Young Master Bruce, these two have very powerful backgrounds. I advise you... I advise you not to fight over this..."
"You should... leave. Take my advice... there's always a higher heaven... someone greater than..."
Smack...
Before she could finish, a slap knocked the waitress to the floor.
With a dark expression, Bruce gave a soft snort, glanced at Ye Xingchen and Rongrong, and said:
"In Bruce Town, my father is the biggest authority. Do you understand?"
"Who the hell are they?"
Standing to one side with an indifferent expression, Ye Xingchen sighed softly.
No matter where you go, there are always dogs like this who look down on everyone.
He glanced at the waitress on the floor, then said calmly:
"Couldn't you have just mentioned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Did you have to take that slap to feel satisfied?"
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
At those words, Bruce's expression shifted repeatedly.
He glanced at the waitress getting up from the floor and couldn't help swallowing.
"You're right, sir... I'll say it outright next time..."
Feeling bitter inside, the waitress nodded, covered her cheek, and retreated behind the counter.
She wanted no part whatsoever in fights between these important people.
"There's probably nothing in that head of yours except women, is there?"
Rongrong, who had remained silent, sighed, glanced at Bruce, and said:
"Open those dog eyes of yours and look at this!"
Bruce stood frozen and swallowed as he saw the glittering golden token.
His eyes darted around, and he promptly dropped to his knees to beg for mercy:
"I was wrong! So you're distinguished guests from the great sect..."
"I was a dog looking down on others. I had eyes but couldn't see..."
As he spoke, Bruce saw the figures before him leave, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He brushed the dust off his trouser legs, glanced around, and quickly left.
A short while later, at a tavern in Bruce Town,
The androgynously handsome Bruce quietly arrived.
Glancing at the blacksmith stationed by the door, he nodded instinctively.
Only after hearing the blacksmith's hammer hit the ground did he walk straight into the tavern!
Meanwhile, atop a certain large tree near the tavern,
A flying sword quietly arrived. The proud figure standing upon it glanced at the tavern, then vanished without a trace!
Inside the hotel room,
Looking at the mess covering the table, Rongrong couldn't help letting out a full-bellied burp.
She turned to glance at the fellow beside her, rubbed her bulging belly, and said with a smile:
"Had enough? Order more if you haven't. Don't stand on ceremony with me... hic..."
"I've got plenty of money... hehe..."
Smiling, Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly, propped his forehead on his hand, and teased:
"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, what's next?"
"This bed is pretty big. Just enough room for two..."
Her pretty face slightly flushed, Rongrong rolled her eyes, patted her belly, and immediately left the dining table.
She twisted her slender waist and looked back.
"Can't you behave for a moment? You're getting more and more improper."
Unconcerned, Ye Xingchen rubbed his forehead, slowly stood, and sighed:
"Who was it that said yesterday we were husband and wife? How about I go say that to someone else?"
At those words, Rongrong gave a soft snort.
She looked at the large bed beside her, spread her arms, and fell straight back onto it.
The soft mattress immediately bounced her high into the air.
"Pretty good. This mattress is the only thing I'm satisfied with..."
"If we get the chance, I'll take you to the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. Their place is where the real fun is!"
Watching Rongrong have the time of her life, without even worrying about throwing up, Ye Xingchen sighed softly.
He went to the window and looked outside, discovering that light snow had begun to drift down as night fell.
The closer they had come to the Frozen Forest along the way, the lower the temperature had dropped.
At the same time, more dangers lurked in the shadows.
After all, in this territory where mercenaries, experts, and Soul Beasts roamed,
The most frightening things were often not Soul Beasts, but those complicated human hearts!
Three hours later,
"I'm going to take a bath. No peeking!"
Lying on the neighboring bed, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly at her words.
He turned his head for a glance and realized that Rongrong seemed to have forgotten to bring her clothes inside.
"Oh no... I didn't bring my clothes in..."
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Rongrong, who was soaking in the bath, suddenly discovered this fact.
Because of her habits at home, she hardly ever needed to cover herself.
But ever since this fellow had come along, everything had changed.
She had still been thinking about her clothes while getting ready just now, but who knew she would forget the moment she went inside!
Looking helpless, Ning Rongrong sighed, glanced outside the bathroom, and mumbled:
"Um... could you bring my clothes in for me..."
"I forgot to bring them..."
