Shopping for Clothes with Four Girls, Everyone Gathered at the Seven Treasure Hotel
Jiangzhu smiled shyly, standing a little behind them and quietly watching their antics.
Surrounded by four girls with distinct personalities, Lin Xuan felt a faint, sweet fragrance filling his nostrils, leaving him no room to refuse.
Standing behind, Tang San watched this scene and couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes full of mischievous amusement. He then teased, "..."
"Lin Xuan, your luck with women is just too good! You've got all the girls in the team by yourself."
Lin Xuan straightened his collar, which Ning Rongrong had pulled askew, turned to look at Tang San, and replied with a smile:
"Don't be too envious of me, Little San."
Tang San shrugged. "I'm not envious at all. I'm happy with my peaceful life."
Tai Long laughed and chimed in:
"The Reserve Team is right, it's good to have some free time! Reserve Team, the hot spring resort in the north of the city is the least crowded in the morning, and the water in the pool has just been changed, it's very clean."
We, a bunch of grown men, decided to take a bath and soak away all the aches and pains from the fight a few days ago!
Huang Yuan and Jing Ling nodded in agreement, clearly more interested in soaking in the hot springs than in accompanying the women to pick out jewelry.
Tang San said to Lin Xuan:
"It's probably 9:30 now. Let's soak until around 11:00 and then head over. We can meet up in the lobby of the Seven Treasure Hotel at noon, okay?"
Lin Xuan nodded in agreement:
"Okay, everyone be at the hotel by 11:30. Whoever is late will have to pay the bill."
Ning Rongrong immediately responded, her tone quite arrogant:
"Being late doesn't matter, I'm paying today anyway! Let's go, let's go, or all the good stuff will be gone!"
The two groups parted ways at the crossroads Great Soul Arena.
Tang San led four burly men —Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling —towards the hot spring resort in the north of the city, chatting and laughing.
Lin Xuan was flanked by Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu on either side, with Zhu Zhuqing walking slightly behind him and Jiangzhu following on the other side. The group of five plunged directly into the most bustling commercial street in Heaven Dou City.
Despite being called a protector of flowers, Lin Xuan had actually become nothing more than a shelf from the moment he stepped into the first clothing store.
Ning Rongrong took a fancy to a light pink flowing fairy dress and insisted on dragging Xiao Wu to try it on.
After changing, the two little girls twirled in front of the dressing mirror, their skirts spreading out like flower petals.
Xiao Wu had long scorpion braids in her hair, and her pink and white short skirt made her legs look even longer and straighter, giving her a playful and charming look.
She hopped in two steps to Lin Xuan, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and her nose almost bumped into Lin Xuan's chest.
"Lin Xuan, do you think these dresses look good on me and Rongrong?"
A faint, sweet scent of grass wafted over. Lin Xuan looked down into her bright, watery eyes and gently flicked her forehead.
"It looks good, but aren't you afraid of tearing your skirt while fighting in this outfit?"
Xiao Wu winced and clutched her forehead, puffed out her cheeks and groaned, then reached out and pinched his waist soft flesh halfway around.
"You're such a spoilsport! Who wants to fight all the time?"
On the other side, Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing to a row of fitted long trench coats.
Zhu Zhuqing has always preferred dark-colored, fitted clothing and has a cool, aloof expression; she is not used to such flashy dresses.
But Ning Rongrong didn't give her a chance to refuse. She insisted on picking out a dark purple, fitted robe, stuffing it into her arms, and pushing her into the fitting room.
When Zhu Zhuqing pushed open the door and came out, the shop assistants who were standing next to her couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
The deep purple fabric clung tightly to her full, firm breasts, her waist was slender, and the hem of her skirt swayed slightly with her movements, exuding a captivating charm amidst her cool elegance.
Zhu Zhuqing awkwardly tugged at her collar, a faint blush creeping onto her ears. She quickly walked to Lin Xuan's side and whispered, "..."
"Is it... good-looking?"
Lin Xuan looked him over twice and said frankly:
"It fits you perfectly, looks much better than your usual all-black outfits, and suits you very well."
Upon hearing this comment, Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled up slightly, clearly pleased.
Ning Rongrong waved her hand and threw out a Gold Card from her Storage Soul Tool, buying all the clothes she liked, including the one Zhu Zhuqing was wearing. She then stuffed all the bags and packages into Lin Xuan's hands.
"Boss, please swipe your card!"
The boss smiled broadly and bowed repeatedly.
After browsing the clothing store, the group moved on to the jewelry store. Finally, after Xiao Wu's persistent nagging, Lin Xuan queued up and bought three large bags of piping hot and sweet roasted chestnuts.
Xiao Wu held a bag in her hands, peeled open a bright yellow chestnut, and tiptoed to offer it to Lin Xuan's mouth.
"Open your mouth, and I'll give you a treat!"
Lin Xuan didn't stand on ceremony, lowered his head and bit down, his lips brushing against her cool, delicate fingertips.
Xiao Wu's fingertips twitched slightly, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly pulled her hand back into her sleeve.
Time flew by as the group joked and played around.
After they strolled through several main roads and arrived at the Seven Treasure Hotel in the Heaven Dou City South District, the clock on the wall already pointed to 11:15 a. m.
The Seven Treasure Hotel is a property under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and its patrons are all nobles and high-level Soul Master dressed in fine clothes.
Upon seeing Ning Rongrong, the manager immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle and led the five people directly to the most luxurious window-side private room on the top floor.
The private room was so spacious that it could almost fit a small fighting ring. In the center was a large round table made of rosewood that could seat twenty people, and around it were soft leather chairs.
As soon as Xiao Wu entered the room, she slumped weakly onto the armchair, rubbing her calves and complaining of being tired.
Ning Rongrong skillfully summoned the servants and ordered more than twenty signature dishes in one go, all of which were precious Soul Beast paired with rare spirit mushrooms and mountain delicacies.
Shortly after we ordered, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Tang San walked at the front, followed by Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling.
The four burly men had just finished soaking in the hot spring; their hair was still damp, their bodies were steaming, their faces were ruddy, and they walked with light steps.
As soon as Tai Long entered, he sniffed and immediately started shouting in his loud voice:
"It smells so good! What delicious dish did Miss Rongrong order? We could smell it from the hallway!"
Tang San sat down in the empty seat next to Lin Xuan, turned his head to look at the several exquisite small brocade boxes piled up beside Lin Xuan, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"It seems you had a very fulfilling morning, Lin Xuan."
Lin Xuan glanced at him:
"It's alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room was gently pushed open again.
Ye Mengyao led Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan in.
Today, Ye Lingling changed into a clean blue and white casual outfit, removed the black veil that usually covered her face, revealing a fair and delicate face, her expression still somewhat aloof and introverted.
Dugu Yan was still dressed in a sharp purple-black outfit, her short hair neat, and her figure alluring. As soon as she entered, she smiled and waved to Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong! I heard you're treating everyone to a big meal today, so Lingling and I specially asked Teacher Qin Ming for a whole day off!"
Ning Rongrong cheered and immediately stood up, pulling Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan to sit down next to her.
With everyone present, a total of twelve people sat around the large round table, instantly transforming the once spacious and quiet private room into a lively space.
Waiters filed in, and one steaming dish after another was served on the table like a flowing stream.
