Three Women Meet Offline Amidst a Storm

Soto City, Rose Hotel.

Xiao Wu had just arrived in this bustling city when she was immediately captivated by the sights before her. Excitedly, she pulled out the soul tool known as the "Chat Group," snapped a photo of the hotel's grand entrance, and promptly sent it to the group.

[First Cute Bunny: [Image: Rose Hotel Entrance] I've arrived!]

The message was answered almost instantly.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: !!!]

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Wait right there, I'm coming downstairs to get you!]

[First Cute Bunny: Wow! Really? That's great!]

Just as Xiao Wu was feeling thrilled, another message popped up.

[No Petting Cats: I'm across the street.]

Across the street?

Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately stood on her tiptoes and looked left and right, but with the street crowded with people, she couldn't spot anyone who looked like a group member.

[First Cute Bunny: @No Petting Cats, I don't see you?]

[No Petting Cats: I see you. I'm behind you.]

Behind her?

Xiao Wu instinctively spun around.

There, standing quietly in the shadows of a street corner, was a girl with black hair.

The girl's hairstyle was quite unique, with two buns coiled on top of her head that looked remarkably like cat ears. She radiated a cold, aloof aura that warned others to keep their distance.

Most striking of all was her figure, which was far too developed for her age—especially that... bulging chest, which looked as if it might burst through her clothes at any moment.

Is this "No Petting Cats"? She's so big...

Xiao Wu's gaze instinctively darted between the other girl and her own flat chest. Her heart felt as if it had been pricked by something, leaving a faint, sour ache.

The girl seemed to notice her gaze, gave a slight nod, and the corners of her cold lips curled into a faint arc.

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Tang San's voice pulled Xiao Wu back to reality.

He followed her line of sight, but only caught a glimpse of a blurry figure disappearing around the street corner.

"It's nothing, Brother," Xiao Wu replied, feeling unsettled. Her mind was filled with the shocking secret about Tang Hao that the Group Owner had told her, which had caused her to develop an instinctive wariness toward Tang San.

"Let's head into the hotel first."

Tang San frowned. Lately, he had felt that Xiao Wu was acting strange, though he didn't understand why, so he didn't press the matter.

Before entering the hotel, Xiao Wu quickly sent one more message to the group.

[First Cute Bunny: @No Petting Cats, aren't you coming in with us?]

Zhu Zhuqing's reply came quickly, but it consisted of only one symbol.

[No Petting Cats: :)]

[No Petting Cats: It's not convenient right now. I'll come in later.]

Not convenient?

Xiao Wu felt a bit puzzled.

In the shadows of the street corner, Zhu Zhuqing put away her soul tool, her gaze icy as she locked onto a spot not far away.

A blond man was walking toward the Rose Hotel, looking smug as he had his arms wrapped around a pair of twin sisters who looked nearly identical.

The Star Luo royal family, White Tiger martial soul, Dai Mubai.

Watching him, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned incomparably cold.

Inside the hotel lobby.

Tang San was at the front desk handling the check-in, while Xiao Wu looked around, distracted.

Just then, a girl wearing a gorgeous white dress slowly descended the stairs.

The girl had soft, pink hair and a delicate, beautiful face. Her eyes were as clear as glass, and she radiated an innate air of nobility.

Her gaze scanned the lobby, as if she were searching for someone.

It was "Pagoda Suppresses River Demon"!

Xiao Wu identified her almost instantly; this temperament matched the image of the wealthy young lady in the group who never hesitated to send red packets perfectly.

Summoning her courage, she took a few steps forward and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Um... Pagoda Suppresses River Demon?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she looked at her with pleasant surprise: "First Cute Bunny?"

"It's me!"

"It's me!"

The two girls looked at each other, spoke in unison, and then both burst into laughter.

"What is your real name?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"My name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' for dancing. How about you?"

"Ning Rongrong, the 'Rong' for glory."

Friendships between girls are just that simple. Having exchanged names and interacted in the group chat, and both possessing outgoing personalities, they naturally hit it off instantly, chattering away as if they had an endless supply of things to talk about.

Ning Rongrong took Xiao Wu's hand and said with envy, "Xiao Wu, your legs are so straight and long..."

Xiao Wu also exclaimed with genuine admiration, "Rongrong, your skin is so fair and tender..."

Tang San was still struggling to communicate with the receptionist at the front desk, completely unaware of the commotion nearby.

"I'm sorry, we only have one double room left," the receptionist said apologetically.

"I'll take it." Tang San prepared to pay.

"Wait!"

An arrogant voice suddenly came from the entrance, cutting off their conversation.

Dai Mubai walked in swaggeringly with the twins in his arms, slammed a bag of gold soul coins onto the front desk, and spoke in an overbearing tone.

"I want this room."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's conversation was interrupted. Both frowned as they looked over, a flash of disgust in their eyes.

In the shadows of the street corner outside, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was locked firmly onto Dai Mubai's frivolous face.

"This guest, I am truly sorry, but this gentleman was here first..." the receptionist explained, looking troubled.

"The usual rules. Whenever I come to your hotel, I always stay in this room."

Dai Mubai glanced sideways at Tang San and said haughtily to the receptionist, "Are you new? Don't you know the rules? Call your manager here!"

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged a look.

Another one of these bullying, spoiled brats. And looking at the way he was holding a woman in each arm, he was clearly just as much of a scumbag as Yu Xiaogang.

The two girls exchanged a tacit glance, quietly took half a step back, and simultaneously opened the recording function in their group chat interface.

The manager was quickly summoned. As soon as he arrived, he addressed the other as "Young Master Dai" and tried to persuade Tang San to leave.

Seeing this, Tang San's expression darkened.

The Tang Sect rules stated that one must not bully the weak.

But the Tang Sect's general defensive code also had a clause: if one encounters provocation or oppression, there is no need to endure it further; otherwise, even if you are playing the pig to eat the tiger, you will eventually just become a pig.

He hadn't wanted to cause trouble, but the other party was clearly trying to bully him and force him and Xiao Wu to sleep on the street!

Hmph! You have already invited your own death!

"In all things, there is a matter of first come, first served, is there not?" Tang San said coldly.

Dai Mubai cast a glance with his evil eyes and instantly released his soul power, the pressure of a level thirty-seven soul master washing over them.

"Heh, in Soto City, I, Dai Mubai, am the rule!"

Conflict was imminent.

The ensuing scene played out much like it did in the original story.

Tang San fought back with all his might. Although he managed to parry several times, he was ultimately knocked back by Dai Mubai due to the disparity in their levels.

"Bang!"

Tang San fell to the ground, slowly climbed back up, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The entire process had been recorded in its entirety from different angles by the two girls' soul tools.

Xiao Wu stood where she was, watching the injured Tang San, but her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, refusing to move a single step.

In the past, she would have rushed over the very first second.

But now, the thought of Tang Hao's eyes watching from the shadows, and the realization that she was nothing more than a "soul ring" being kept in captivity, made her subconsciously unable to move.

Dai Mubai gave a contemptuous snort and tossed the room key back to Tang San.

"I'm in a good mood today. I assume you're also heading to Shrek Academy, so I'll let you have the room."

With that, he laughed loudly and strode away, holding the still-shaken twins in his arms.

No sooner had Dai Mubai left than Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu uploaded the video to the group chat.
