A Spicy Show?
"Please rest assured, sir, our rooms are all very spacious, so it doesn't matter how many people stay!" For the sake of her commission, the receptionist quickly explained, not forgetting to give Xiang Jun a knowing look.
"What do you think?" Xiang Jun didn't answer, but instead asked Gu Yuena for her opinion.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena fell silent, her gaze falling on Tang Wutong beside her. Then, she said meaningfully, "If someone doesn't mind, then I have no objection either."
Today I'll be watching you two closely, to see what you're up to every day!
Tang Wutong, who had been yawning, suddenly perked up, quickly grabbed Xiang Jun's arm, and looked at Gu Yuena with wary eyes.
Is this person so eager to steal the microphone from me, the princess?
You think you can compete with me Tang Wutong? You think you're that good?
Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not that petty.
Tang Wutong rolled her eyes at Gu Yuena and quickly added, "This princess wants to sleep in the middle!"
Seeing that neither of them objected, Xiang Jun finally had no choice but to reluctantly accept.
I've been traveling all day and want to rest early.
Xiang Jun took out her gold card and said, "One room it is. We'll stay for five days. How many Gold Soul Coin will that cost?"
"Sir, the total for five days is four Gold Soul Coin." The receptionist's smile was almost bursting; she could earn at least a hundred Gold Soul Coin in commission from this transaction.
Seize the young?
Four Gold Soul Coin!
Why don't you just rob someone!
"Why is it so expensive?" Xiang Jun frowned. Although she was not short of money, she did not want to be taken advantage of.
"Sir, our Rose Hotel's VIP guests can watch a program once a week, tonight! The content is fantastic, and we guarantee it's excellent value for money!"
Seeing the receptionist's mysterious smile, Xiang Jun readily paid the bill.
A fantastic program?
Then I'll have to taste it to see if it's salty enough!
After taking the room key and three tickets, Xiang Jun turned around and led the two women to the second floor.
Green Separation
That was the name of Xiang Jun and the others' room. Just from the name and the lush green color scheme, it's no wonder the room was empty.
The moment she opened the door, Tang Wutong immediately threw herself onto the soft bed, rolling around on it. "Finally, I can rest a bit. I'm so tired today!"
Gu Yuena walked to the wall opposite the bed, looked at the various Soul Tool on it, and her mind went blank on the spot.
What the hell is all this stuff?!
Why does this hotel give off such an shady vibe?
"Ahem, you should go and rest too. We still have a mission to complete, and we'll be busy tonight." Xiang Jun came to Gu Yuena's side, looking at the latter's extremely blushing cheeks, and said in a strange tone.
That can't be right, when did Gu Yuena become so shy?
Xiang Jun glanced at the wall beside her; although the Soul Tool on it were all quite... bizarre.
"Um."
Gu Yuena blushed and nodded, then suddenly asked as if possessed, "Is this your first time here?"
"Um... it really is my first time." Xiang Jun wasn't lying, because it was indeed her first time staying at Green Separation.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Gu Yuena smiled and walked towards the large green bed beside her.
The receptionist wasn't lying; the bed was indeed large enough that Xiang Jun estimated four or five people could fit comfortably without feeling cramped.
"Hey, this is our dividing line. If you dare cross it, this princess will let you taste the power of the Golden Dragon Spear." Tang Wutong gestured with her delicate hand, earning a roll of her eyes from Gu Yuena.
"Boring."
After traveling for a day and a night, the three quickly fell asleep. Because they had to deal with the Evil Soul Master who might appear at any time, sleeping was a better way to recover to their optimal state than meditation.
In her sleep, Xiang Jun had a very strange dream. She dreamt that Gu Yuena and Tang Wutong were fighting over a microphone...
Tang Wutong experienced the same thing; she even dreamt that Gu Yuena approached Xiang Jun with a wicked smile and said to her, "Watch closely, this is how Xiang Jun is used."
Compared to Xiang Jun and Tang Wutong, Gu Yuena's nightmare was even more terrifying. She dreamed that Tang Wutong stuffed her under the bed, followed by Xiang Jun's figure entering the room.
"Quack, don't bounce it!!!" After an unknown amount of time, a scream suddenly woke Xiang Jun and Gu Yuena up.
What happened?!
The two, startled awake, exchanged a glance, then looked at Tang Wutong in the middle and asked, "What happened?"
"Ah? It's alright, it's alright." Looking at the lush green surroundings, Tang Wutong finally breathed a sigh of relief, her back already soaked with sweat.
Thank goodness, it was just a dream.
Tang Wutong dreamt that she was tied to a chair and couldn't move, and could only watch helplessly as Gu Yuena used that ultimate humiliation move on Xiang Jun.
"Hmph, it was just a nightmare, what's the big deal?" Gu Yuena snorted coldly, then looked out the window, where a wisp of sunset dyed the horizon red.
Completely wide awake, the three got up, washed up, and set off for the city lord's mansion in Sea God Village.
Although Sea God Village is nominally a village, due to its size and special nature, the Heavenly Soul Empire also established a city lord's mansion here.
After leaving the Rose Hotel, Xiang Jun and the other two put on black robes and went straight to the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Who goes there! This is restricted area, unauthorized personnel must stop!" The heavily armored guard looked at the three men in black robes in front of him with wary expressions.
"We are the Shrek Inspection Team, and we need to see the City Lord." Xiang Jun said calmly, tossing the token representing the Shrek Inspection Team into the guard's arms.
"Esteemed Lord Soul Master, please wait a moment!" Upon seeing the Little Monster pattern on the token, the guard's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly ran back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Before long, the gates of the city lord's mansion opened again, and an elderly man with white hair dressed in a magnificent robe came into the view of Xiang Jun and the others.
"Hehehe, I am Nuolin, the city lord of this Sea God Village. If there is any neglect on my part, please forgive me." Nuolin smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, showing no airs of a city lord whatsoever.
"Lord Nuolin, we are members of the Shrek Inspection Team, here to investigate the Evil Soul Master in Sea God Village." Xiang Jun went straight to the point, stating the purpose of their visit.
Evil Soul Master!
Upon hearing the mention of Evil Soul Master, a hint of seriousness flashed in Nuolin's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Please come into the mansion for a detailed discussion."
Led by Nuolin, Xiang Jun and the other two went straight to a quiet room.
"Lord Nuolin, are there any leads on the Evil Soul Master?"
Upon hearing Xiang Jun's question, Nuolin sighed, "Alas, it's a long story. Just half a month ago, a strange thing happened in the back mountain of Sea God Village. Overnight, almost all the Ten-Year Soul Beast perished, leaving only skeletons."
They all died overnight?
