Soon, Xue Tianmo and the Ice Empress arrived at Border City.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had been waiting for them for some time.
"Brother Tianmo!"
The two women approached with delight written all over their faces.
However, when they saw that the Ice Empress had come along as well, a trace of surprise flashed through their eyes, so slight it was nearly imperceptible.
They had originally thought Xue Tianmo had come alone.
Still, neither woman paid it much mind.
They had seen the Ice Empress's strength before. With her accompanying them, at least they would not need to worry about safety.
After entering the inner city, the Ice Empress was filled with curiosity.
All sorts of human things dazzled her.
"Tianmo! I want some of that Candied Hawthorn they're selling!"
"It looks so delicious!"
The Ice Empress tugged Xue Tianmo along, skipping and hopping, lively and adorable.
Xue Tianmo could not help but laugh helplessly.
Along the way, where was the Ice Empress he knew?
She was practically a curious child!
After buying the Candied Hawthorn, the Ice Empress began eating it with great relish.
"It's so sweet!"
"Tianmo, have some too!"
The Ice Empress held the skewer of Candied Hawthorn up to Xue Tianmo's mouth.
Xue Tianmo bit off one, chewed, swallowed, and could not help praising it.
"It really is sweet!"
The Ice Empress smiled, hooked her arm around Xue Tianmo's, and suddenly asked, "So, is the Candied Hawthorn sweeter, or am I sweeter?"
As she spoke, she blinked her large eyes and stared straight at Xue Tianmo.
"Of course Aunt Bing is sweeter!"
Xue Tianmo replied with a smile.
Seeing the way the two spoke and behaved, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er wore rather strange expressions.
Anyone who did not know better would definitely take the two for a couple deeply in love.
Afterward, the group continued strolling through the city.
As they walked, Shui Bing'er spoke up.
"Brother Tianmo, it's getting late. Let's find somewhere to stay first!"
Xue Tianmo had no objections. After nodding, he headed with the two women to the Rose Hotel.
"Hm?"
"Brother Tianmo, where did Senior Ice Empress go?"
At that moment, Shui Bing'er suddenly realized that the Ice Empress, who had been following them just moments ago, had vanished at some point.
Xue Tianmo smiled wryly and said, "Aunt Bing went off to have fun on her own. Don't worry about her. Let's get a room first!"
With that, Xue Tianmo did not delay and walked straight to the hotel front desk.
However, after asking, he learned that there was only one room left in the hotel.
Xue Tianmo had originally planned to take Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er to another hotel.
But the receptionist informed him that a grand auction would soon be held in the city, and many outsiders had flooded in.
The rooms in other hotels were probably already full.
After giving it some thought, Xue Tianmo immediately decided to book the last remaining room.
In his view, having one room was better than having none.
Seeing Xue Tianmo book a room, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er immediately grew bashful, their cheeks flushing red.
The receptionist's expression turned a little strange. Young people these days really knew how to play—one dragon, two phoenixes.
After a brief pause, the receptionist began handling Xue Tianmo's check-in.
Just then, two people entered from outside the hotel.
A boy and a girl.
The boy looked around ten years old, with a tall, sturdy build, long aqua-blue hair, and an expensive blue robe.
The girl had a black scorpion braid hanging past her hips. Her pretty little face was rosy and fair.
Her stunningly beautiful face was pale and captivating, her eyes exceptionally lively, and her appearance utterly delicate and lovely.
Who else could they be but Tang San and Xiao Wu?
"Get us a room!"
After stepping forward, Tang San spoke directly to the receptionist.
Hearing this, the receptionist spread their hands helplessly. "I'm terribly sorry, but the last room has already been booked by this gentleman!"
As they spoke, the receptionist glanced toward Xue Tianmo.
"Hm?"
Tang San frowned upon hearing that, then looked Xue Tianmo and the other two over.
He and Xiao Wu had searched all the way here, but every hotel had already been fully booked.
This was the last hotel.
As he sized them up, Tang San smiled at Xue Tianmo.
"Little brother, you have only one room. The three of you can't all stay in it, can you?"
"How about giving the room to us?"
"I can compensate you with twice the room rate!"
As he spoke, Tang San took out a bag of Gold Soul Coins.
Xue Tianmo cast Tang San an indifferent glance and replied, "Sorry, we don't lack money."
Just then, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ding! Sign-in targets discovered: Tang San and Xiao Wu. Would you like to sign in?
Hearing this, Xue Tianmo was startled and muttered to himself, So these two are Tang San and Xiao Wu?
Still surprised, he directly chose to sign in with Tang San.
Very soon, the system responded.
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully signing in with Tang San! Reward obtained: 10,000 Sign-in Points, Lingbo Weibu!
"Oh?"
Xue Tianmo was secretly surprised.
He knew that Tang San was not very strong at this point. Receiving such a sign-in reward was already quite good.
After all, Lingbo Weibu was a top-tier movement technique.
While Xue Tianmo was lost in thought, Tang San's expression turned ugly as he muttered inwardly, A mediocre man is one who dares not cause trouble!
With that thought, his eyes narrowed, and he directly unleashed the Purple Demon Eye, intending to launch a sneak attack on Xue Tianmo!
But what Tang San did not expect was—
The instant the power of his Purple Demon Eye was released, Xue Tianmo immediately struck back with a mental attack!
The next moment, Tang San staggered backward again and again. Blood flowed from all seven orifices as he cried out in agony.
"Ahhh..."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu's brows sank sharply as she glared fiercely at Xue Tianmo.
She could naturally tell that Xue Tianmo had used some kind of method.
Without wasting any time, she rushed straight at Xue Tianmo.
In less than a moment, Xiao Wu had wrapped her legs around Xue Tianmo, intending to throw him to the ground.
Yet, facing her Soft Bone Lock, Xue Tianmo did not move an inch. Instead, he teased, "Those legs aren't bad!"
As he spoke, Xue Tianmo even reached out and stroked Xiao Wu's thigh.
At the same time, Tang San recovered his senses.
Seeing Xue Tianmo touching Xiao Wu's thigh, he was so furious that he nearly went numb!
"Bastard!!"
He could not stop himself from roaring.
Xue Tianmo did not care. He merely smiled faintly and said, "You were the ones who attacked me first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he did not hesitate. His body shook, and Xiao Wu, who had been wrapped around him, was instantly thrown off by the rebounding force!
Seeing that she could not restrain Xue Tianmo, Xiao Wu prepared to pull back and make another move.
But before she could move, Xue Tianmo grabbed her wrist.
"What?"
Xiao Wu was startled. Before she could react, Xue Tianmo's fist had already come down.
Bang!
With a thunderous impact, Xiao Wu took Xue Tianmo's punch head-on and involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xue Tianmo showed no tenderness toward her. His fists and kicks rained down on Xiao Wu like a storm.
Bang, bang, bang...
For a time, Xiao Wu was completely dazed beneath Xue Tianmo's storm of fists and kicks.
At one point, Xue Tianmo suddenly grabbed her and slammed her heavily onto the ground.
Xiao Wu had been beaten so badly that her head spun, and she had no strength left to resist.
Then, Xue Tianmo planted a foot on Xiao Wu's back, pinning her firmly beneath his foot.
Only then did Tang San recover from his shock.
He stared viciously at Xue Tianmo, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
Without delay, he raised his hand and activated the Zhuge Crossbow hidden in his sleeve.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, two crossbow bolts shot straight toward Xue Tianmo.
But what Tang San did not expect was—
Just as the bolts were about to strike, a layer of Ice Crystal Shield manifested over Xue Tianmo's body.
It directly blocked the bolts!
"You're truly sinister!"
Xue Tianmo said coldly. Then, with a sudden exertion of force from his foot, he stomped down and broke one of Xiao Wu's arms!
"Ah..."
With her arm crushed beneath his foot, Xiao Wu's face instantly turned deathly pale, and a heart-wrenching scream of pain escaped her lips.
