Only One Room Left

Vast Sea City is the largest city in the western border of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also the largest coastal and port city on the Douluo Continent.

At this moment, Yu Mingxiao and Gu Yuena arrived at the city gate and, after being checked by the guards, entered the city.

The two decided to rest in the city for a day before heading out to sea the next day to hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Yu Mingxiao could also take this opportunity to stabilize his Soul Power.

"Let's take a stroll around the city. It's not easy to come all this way to a seaside city," Yu Mingxiao suggested with a smile, turning to look at her.

Gu Yuena said, "I'll listen to you."

As the two walked down the bustling street, they unsurprisingly attracted the attention of passersby in Vast Sea City, mainly because of Gu Yuena.

Her appearance was still too outstanding; even though she tried to restrain her demeanor, she couldn't hide her breathtaking charm.

Since they needed to stay there for one night, Yu Mingxiao led her to find a hotel.

For some reason, most of the hotels here have an extravagant exterior and an inexplicable air of ambiguity.

In the end, he was too lazy to look for a normal hotel, so he simply dragged Gu Yuena into a Rose Hotel.

"Give us two rooms."

The receptionist smiled slightly. "I'm sorry, we only have one room left."

He saw through it all in an instant. How could he possibly sleep separately from such a beautiful girl?

This young man clearly wanted to sleep in the same bed with her, but for some reason he couldn't say it outright.

The counter staff were used to this kind of person, so they were naturally willing to play along and finish the act.

"Only one room left?"

Yu Mingxiao raised an eyebrow, instantly realizing it was a lie from the waiter, and was wondering how to respond...

But Gu Yuena spoke up, "Then let's book one room. Don't waste time looking for another hotel."

The waiter was slightly taken aback; judging from the tone, it seemed the girl was the one who had taken the initiative.

That young man is incredibly lucky with women; he's so envious!

"Didn't you hear me?" Yu Mingxiao asked, frowning.

"Oh, okay, we'll check you in right away." The waiter quickly responded, handing over a wooden plaque engraved with the room number, and said with an awkward smile, "We wish you a pleasant stay and a long and fruitful time together."

Yu Mingxiao and Gu Yuena went upstairs together to their room, which had a nameplate that read "Pink Tenderness"...

The pink door is decorated with beautiful pink crystal roses.

Next to the pink crystal rose is a line of small vertical text. "Pink Tenderness, Enjoy the tenderness of first love in pink."

This was the first time Yu Mingxiao had brought a woman to a love hotel, and his expression couldn't help but look a little strange.

He turned to look at Gu Yuena, and saw that she seemed normal, and the atmosphere didn't seem so awkward...

Taking a deep breath, Yu Mingxiao opened the door, and what came into view was a luxuriously decorated living room with a huge pink heart made of pink roses in the center.

Yu Mingxiao coughed twice and said, "Let's go into the room and take a look."

"Um."

Gu Yuena felt a little shy, but her face remained calm and composed. She walked around the pink heart-shaped rose in the center of the living room and pushed open the bedroom door.

As expected, the bed in the bedroom was extremely spacious and heart-shaped; it could comfortably comfortably fit five or six people, even for a normal adult.

Yu Mingxiao touched the large bed and chuckled softly, "I'll sleep here tonight, you can sleep in the living room, there's a sofa there."

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you serious?"

"Is it even possible?" Yu Mingxiao asked.

Gu Yuena said, "Then you sleep in the bed, I'll just find somewhere to rest."

She wasn't picky about sleeping; even if it was just lying on the cold, damp ground, she didn't mind. It was an adaptation and habit she had developed from sleeping alone.

"Sigh, you're not even going to protest," Yu Mingxiao chuckled helplessly. "You can sleep in the bed. Tonight I need to stabilize my Soul Power to prepare for hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King tomorrow."

"Okay," Gu Yuena replied. Although she wasn't picky about where she slept, she felt that the soft, comfortable human bed was more comfortable than the ground.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two left the hotel, asked for directions along the way, and headed together toward the busiest commercial street in Vast Sea City.

Vast Sea City is the largest coastal city in the Douluo Continent. It is a very wealthy city, bustling with merchants and lined with shops.

As they strolled around, Yu Mingxiao bought a lot of clothes and snacks, and told Gu Yuena to pick whatever she liked, saying he would pay for it. However, he would never carry her bags.

Around noon, the two randomly chose a nicely decorated restaurant.

"Welcome! Please have a seat. What would you like to eat?"

The waiter led Yu Mingxiao and Gu Yuena to their seats and respectfully handed them a menu.

Yu Mingxiao opened the menu, and the first item on the list was the signature dish: Steamed Oysters with Sea Urchin in Sake. Below it was a special caption. "Life needs passion, click here! Tonight, I'll make her beg for mercy!"

Gu Yuena happened to glance at the line of text on the menu and instantly understood its meaning. Her ears burned, and a barely perceptible blush appeared on her pretty face.

Yu Mingxiao suppressed a smile as he flipped through the menu and soon casually ordered a few seafood dishes.

After a satisfying meal, the two left the restaurant as darkness fell, and they made their way back to the Rose Hotel.

Yu Mingxiao went straight to the bed and sat cross-legged, circulating his Soul Power to stabilize his newly broken-through realm.

Gu Yuena lay beside him, looking up at his sharply defined face, the warm yellow light casting a soft, enchanting glow.

My heartbeat inexplicably became erratic.

Yu Mingxiao noticed her gaze, slowly opened his eyes, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So engrossed in watching?"

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him. "Don't flatter yourself."

Yu Mingxiao smiled and said softly, "After we hunt down the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, I'm going to Sea God Island to take the test."

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then said, "The Sea God? I remember he became a god ten thousand years ago by virtue of the faith of Sea Soul Master and Sea Soul Beast. Do you want to inherit his Godhood?"

"No, I just want to participate in his assessment to hone my skills and improve my abilities." Yu Mingxiao shook his head with a smile.

"Oh." Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to the assessment."

"Because you're afraid of being discovered by the Divine Realm?" Yu Mingxiao asked.

"No," Gu Yuena said, "I have slumbered in the Star Dou Great Forest for countless years, and the Divine Realm probably already knows of my existence."

She paused, then continued, "Whether the Sea God notices or not, I don't really care. I just want to return to the Lake of Life to continue my slumber and recuperate."

Yu Mingxiao remained silent, not expecting that she was aware of his situation.

"Do you know where that Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is in the ocean?" Gu Yuena asked casually.

Yu Mingxiao thought for a moment and said softly, "The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King inhabits the Demonic Whale Sea Area, and that sea is named after it."

"It doesn't usually go out; it just stays in that area of the sea. When it's hungry, it opens its mouth and devours marine life. As long as you go there, you can find it."
