Then Let's Go Together

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City far surpassed the backwater of Soto City in both its exterior appearance and urban functionality.

The two academies within the city alone were leagues ahead of a godforsaken place like Shrek.

Pufferfish Douluo steered the carriage and came to a slow stop in front of a luxury hotel in Heaven Dou City.

The hotel's exterior was magnificent, several times more impressive than the Rose Hotel.

People came and went in an endless stream, all of them nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Chen Qi and his two companions looked completely out of place as they blended into the crowd; having spent a long time in the mountains, their bodies had begun to reek.

Their once clean and ornate clothes had become tattered, making them look like beggars.

The young lady at the hotel reception frowned the moment she saw the trio's appearance.

It was her first time seeing beggars trying to stay at the hotel, and if she really let them stay today, the hotel's reputation would be ruined by tomorrow.

"Apologies, this establishment does not permit beggars to enter."

What the hell? Beggars!

If Qian Renxue were a beggar, then there wouldn't be a single beggar left in this world, because no one else would be worthy of the title.

Unless you had more power and wealth than Spirit Hall, that is.

The closest comparison would be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose coffers might be able to compete.

BOOM!

Hearing his Young Mistress being called a beggar, Pufferfish Douluo immediately lost his temper, unleashing the full force of a Title Douluo without holding back a shred of power.

In an instant, everyone in the hotel froze, drenched in cold sweat and trembling, as if death were only a heartbeat away.

The receptionist was so terrified she couldn't even speak coherently; who could have known that these plain-looking beggars were actually a legendary Title Douluo!

"Say it again—who do you think our Young Mistress is?!"

"Oh my, Your Excellency, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! How could you possibly be beggars? You are the most distinguished guests of our hotel."

Just then, a pot-bellied, short man hurried over, shoved the receptionist aside, and personally offered his apologies to Pufferfish Douluo.

"Who are you?"

The pot-bellied man smiled and replied.

"I am the general manager of this hotel. Please allow me to handle things from here."

Pufferfish Douluo nodded upon hearing this; having the general manager serve them personally was barely worthy of Qian Renxue's status.

Qian Renxue looked at Pufferfish Douluo, the culprit behind the scene, and shook her head helplessly.

She had wanted to keep a low profile, but she hadn't expected Pufferfish Douluo to be so impatient, releasing his Title Douluo pressure and making everyone too afraid to even breathe.

"Uncle Pufferfish, isn't that a bit too much?"

"Of course not, Young Mistress. Even your father was served by the owners themselves back in the day."

Chen Qi watched this unfold and gained a new perspective; this was the style of the continent's number one power—truly overbearing to the extreme.

With the general manager serving them personally, they quickly arranged the most luxurious presidential suite in the hotel for Qian Renxue, where every brick and tile was crafted from priceless materials.

According to the manager, this suite was built specifically for the kings of the Heaven Dou Empire, and since its construction, only direct members of the royal family or the king himself had ever stayed there.

The room was incredibly spacious with every amenity imaginable; even if ten people moved in, it wouldn't feel crowded.

Qian Renxue's jaw dropped; she had never seen such a sight, and it was far superior to the antique rooms of Spirit Hall.

"Wow, this room is just too good!"

"If you like it, Young Mistress, I shall petition the Great Venerable to build an identical one for you when we return."

Pufferfish Douluo also thought the place was nice; it was a waste for the dead men of the Heaven Dou Empire to live here.

Only by placing it in Spirit Hall for Qian Renxue to reside in could the room's true value be realized.

"Forget it, Uncle Pufferfish. My current home is quite nice; it's warm in winter and cool in summer by the pond, which is very comfortable."

Qian Renxue rejected the proposal. Although she liked this kind of room, she already had very deep memories of her original home.

She wouldn't trade it for anything.

"Your Excellency, please familiarize yourself with the room. I have matters to attend to."

The general manager said to Pufferfish Douluo.

He nodded upon hearing this and let the manager go about his business.

Qian Renxue pushed open the bathroom door and was immediately shocked by the massive bathtub inside.

The tub was pure gold, and even if all three of them got in together, there would still be plenty of space.

If one person were to bathe, it would be like swimming in a pool.

"Perfect, I haven't bathed in ages. I'm going to have a wonderful soak today!"

Qian Renxue was already raring to go; as a bath enthusiast, she was incredibly excited to see this.

Hearing this, Pufferfish Douluo immediately exited the bathroom and went to guard the main door of the suite.

Chen Qi stared at the size of the bathtub in the bathroom, at a loss for what to do; the tub alone was over three meters long.

He feared that if Qian Renxue moved even slightly inside, he would instantly teleport right to her side.

"Um, Master, this bathtub is so big that if you move even a little, I reckon I'll be teleported right next to you."

Qian Renxue, who was busy running the water, nodded upon hearing this. It was true; if she stayed in one spot, it would be a waste of such a large tub.

Thus, Qian Renxue thought of a solution that would satisfy both parties.

"Bathe with me."

Huh?!!

Come on, man!

Are you serious?

Although Qian Renxue's actual age had not yet reached double digits, her body had already developed quite maturely.

If Chen Qi claimed he had no interest now, it could only mean his equipment wasn't functioning.

"Master, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Hmph! Chen Qi, you hold me while you sleep every day without feeling ashamed, yet now you're acting all reserved? I'm just asking if you're willing or not."

Chen Qi was speechless at this; what did she mean by "holding her while sleeping every day"? Was that something Chen Qi actually wanted?

If the distance between them were any greater, Chen Qi could guarantee he wouldn't touch a single hair on Qian Renxue.

"If you have no objections, Master, then I suppose I don't either."

And so, the two of them muddled their way into the bathtub together. Originally, Qian Renxue hadn't thought it would be a big deal, as Chen Qi was her Martial Soul and essentially a part of her, so nothing would happen.

As it turned out, she was wrong. Once they were inside, Qian Renxue found she couldn't calm her mind to enjoy the bath at all.

Her thoughts were entirely occupied by Chen Qi.

Chen Qi was no exception. Even though he was a senior student from Blue Star, he hadn't even held a woman's hand back on Blue Star!

Now that they were sitting together in the bath, the pace of things was just too fast!

If it had been when he first met Qian Renxue, Chen Qi wouldn't have thought much of it, but now... it was up, it was definitely up.

"Um, Chen Qi, aren't we a bit awkward?"

Qian Renxue broke the silence first, covering herself as she leaned slightly toward Chen Qi.

"Haha, awkward? I don't think so."

Chen Qi tried his best to keep his eyes from wandering over to Qian Renxue, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep things under control.

"Chen Qi, what exactly was your identity before? You know so many things I've never heard of, and you can even produce Fat House Happy Water. It's so strange."
