Gu Yuena, Who Knew Only Her Name

After arriving at the room, Lin Xiao pushed open the door, and the sight before him surprised him somewhat.

This was one of the most famous hotels in the Heaven Dou Empire, catering specifically to nobles and members of the royal family. Though its exterior looked ordinary, the room's interior decorations were truly astonishing.

If it had not been so late, with the manager absent, and if Lin Xiao had not paid a considerable amount of Gold Soul Coins, no matter how bold the attendants were, they would not have dared let others inside.

The hotel room was enormous, the largest Lin Xiao had ever seen.

The first thing he saw upon entering was the red carpet covering the floor, stretching all the way to the far end as though it were welcoming an honored guest.

Looking closer, the master bedroom and living area were clearly separated, while the surrounding tables and chairs were all crafted from the finest wood.

There was even a balcony beside the window. As long as he opened the glass door, he could take in the night view of Heaven Dou City.

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. This room was indeed quite nice. The hundred Gold Soul Coins had not been wasted.

Knock, knock, knock~

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A hotel attendant entered carrying a large wooden tub, followed by several girls holding kettles, apparently there to fill the tub with water.

"Sir, should we place it in the bedroom or the main room?"

"The main room."

The attendant nodded and quickly filled it with steaming hot water. He even thoughtfully sprinkled in a handful of rose petals, filling the entire room with a romantic atmosphere.

Lin Xiao waved his hand, signaling that they were done.

The attendant hurriedly nodded, gave him a knowing look, then turned and led the girls out of the room.

After making sure everyone had left, Lin Xiao looked at Gu Yuena, who was crouching on the floor.

"Na'er, go take a bath."

Gu Yuena raised her head. Her little face was flushed red, and whether because she was unaccustomed to this or for some other reason, she still did not dare approach.

Lin Xiao smiled faintly. It seemed this girl still did not trust him very much.

"Don't worry. I left a towel for you on the table. I'm going to rest. Once you're done, that room is yours. Call me if you need anything."

Lin Xiao walked over to Gu Yuena, rubbed her head, then turned and entered the bedroom.

Gu Yuena blinked her large eyes, rose to her feet, and quietly crept to Lin Xiao's door. She pressed her ear against it, and only after confirming that he would not come out did she finally let out a sigh of relief.

She turned and walked over to the tub. When she saw the rose petals floating on the water, her little face reddened again. Still, she could not help taking off her filthy coat and sitting in the tub.

Inside the room.

Lin Xiao sat at the bedside while Wang Zhaojun attended to him, washing his feet. It was something Lin Xiao required every day.

As he enjoyed the soft touch of Wang Zhaojun's little hands and sipped his wine, he felt utterly content.

"Master, that girl is a soul beast. Why did you bring her with you?"

"No, no. Gu Yuena has now completed her transformation into human form. She has likely lost her memories, which is why she became Na'er. There is another personality within her named Gu Yue, and their personalities are completely opposite. They will surely be useful in the future."

Wang Zhaojun shook her head. She still did not understand why her master had done this.

However, she did not ask any further questions. Whatever her master wanted to do, she would support him.

"Zhaojun, do you remember anything from your past life?"

"It's all rather vague. I just can't recall it."

Lin Xiao sat upright and said with a grin, "Think carefully. Weren't there many people who pursued you?"

After pausing for a moment, Wang Zhaojun smiled. "Those who coveted my beauty are all reflecting beneath the ice fields."

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha, interesting. Alright, that's enough. You should head back now."

"Yes!"

After drying the water droplets from Lin Xiao's feet, Wang Zhaojun transformed into a cloud of blue icy mist and vanished from the room.

Lin Xiao turned toward the door, wondering whether the little girl was finished yet.

Judging by the timeline, Tang San was currently studying at Nuoding Academy. He would probably be able to head to Shrek Academy next year.

Lin Xiao had never thought much of Tang San to begin with. Ungrateful and devoid of morality, he deserved to be condemned by all.

Since he had come to this world, it would be embarrassing if he did not give Tang San a good beating.

Just as Lin Xiao was considering when he should head to Shrek Academy, a scream rang out from the room.

"Ah~"

Lin Xiao's brows immediately furrowed. Without another word, he flung open the door and rushed out.

Had someone discovered Gu Yuena's identity as a soul beast?

Yet as he rushed out, the sight before him made Lin Xiao's face flush.

Gu Yuena stood on the floor with her back to Lin Xiao. In front of her was a little kitten that had somehow gotten inside, startling Gu Yuena into crying out.

Her snow-white back made one want to pull her into a tight embrace, while her delicate, curving figure was even more impossible to look away from.

The fresh, radiant charm of having just emerged from the water only further accentuated Gu Yuena's beauty.

Bo Saixi's figure could be called fiery, but Gu Yuena's was petite and exquisite. Though she was small, she had everything she should have.

"Shoo, shoo, little kitty, go away." Gu Yuena had no idea that a man was watching her from behind.

She even bent down to pick up the bathrobe from the floor and began chasing away the kitten.

It was one thing when she did not bend over, but the moment she did, Lin Xiao's face turned crimson. Just as he was about to quietly leave, Gu Yuena turned around as well.

Their eyes met. Gu Yuena's eyes widened, and she immediately cried out, "Ah~"

Lin Xiao was so startled that he appeared before Gu Yuena almost instantly and covered her cherry lips with one hand.

"Don't scream!"

Gu Yuena looked at Lin Xiao pitifully as tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Xiao froze, then said quietly, "Don't scream, and I'll let you go. Blink if you agree."

Gu Yuena hurriedly blinked. Only then did Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief. If people found out that he had brought a little girl to a hotel, his position as the terrifying Imperial Tutor might not be secure.

Lin Xiao slowly removed his right hand and took several steps back.

Gu Yuena picked up her clothes and put them on, then crouched on the floor in distress and began crying again.

Lin Xiao felt rather awkward. "Na'er, if you hadn't screamed just now, I wouldn't have come out. I was afraid something had happened to you."

Gu Yuena ignored Lin Xiao, crouching in the corner with an aching nose as crystalline tears slowly rolled down her exquisite cheeks.

"Hey, don't cry."

What Lin Xiao could not stand most in his life was seeing girls cry, especially pretty girls.

"Look what this is!" Lin Xiao took out a piece of candy from his Soul Tool and waved it in front of Gu Yuena.

"Candy~"

Na'er stretched out her snow-white hands, snatched the candy from Lin Xiao's hand, and popped it straight into her mouth without even removing the wrapper, chewing it contentedly.

Lin Xiao smiled faintly at the sight and reached out to rub her adorable little head. It seemed Gu Yuena's second personality was currently just a child who only knew her own name and knew nothing else.
