To reward Nanahoshi, Luo Ge made his first sacrifice that night, offering his bed to Nanahoshi.

This surprised Nanahoshi so much that she almost cried.

For the past month or so, apart from sleeping in a bed in Milishion, she had been sleeping on the floor every day to save money.

Oh?

Did the sun rise in the west today?

Nanahoshi, flattered, burrowed into the covers. As she nestled in the warm blankets, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She stretched out her limbs, feeling the soft mattress beneath her, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, "So happy, so blissful, I'm so content, I can finally... finally get some rest."

"Hmm... I'm so happy."

She closed her eyes, her consciousness fading, and began to mutter in her sleep, "If only I could soak in the hot springs of my hometown... Saury, Mom... I want to eat saury..."

Just as Nanahoshi was about to drift off to sleep, a commotion came from upstairs.

To be precise, it's a very embarrassing sound.

The sound was especially noticeable in the dead of night, with a strong rhythm and accompanied by the regular creaking of the bed frame.

Unfortunately, the hotel's soundproofing was absurdly poor; every sound from the room upstairs was amplified and clearly reached Nanahoshi's ears.

???

Nanahoshi suddenly opened her eyes, the happy expression on her face instantly freezing, she was about to break down.

She rolled over and covered her ears with the blanket, but the sound was like water that seeps into everything; no matter how she covered them, it would still get in.

Her expression quickly turned into a mask of pain, her brows furrowed and her teeth grinding together.

I thought I could just bear it... and it would pass quickly.

But after all this time, the noise from upstairs not only showed no signs of stopping, but actually got louder and louder.

That's enough.

"That's enough, damn it... Who's so inconsiderate? So late at night... Don't they let people get any sleep???"

Nanahoshi roared angrily.

The noise upstairs paused, and just when Nanahoshi thought it would quiet down for a while, it got even louder.

" Luo Ge?"

"Say something! It's come to this, and you don't even react?" Nanahoshi was at her wit's end. If this were modern society, she might have stormed off to block the door, or at the very least, called the police to complain.

But this is another world.

In this other world without laws or moral constraints, almost no one except Luo Ge would tolerate her temper. If she, with her weak combat power, were to provoke someone, she would probably be dead on the spot the next day.

But Luo Ge wouldn't be like that; he's the Sword King, and in Nanahoshi ' memory, Luo Ge is incredibly powerful.

" Luo Ge?"

" Luo Ge??"

" Luo Ge..."

Nanahoshi called out repeatedly, but there was still no response. What was wrong?

Immediately afterward, Nanahoshi suddenly realized what was going on.

Nanahoshi heard Luo Ge's voice, but it wasn't speaking; it was a steady, rhythmic snoring sound.

Although the sound wasn't loud, it was obvious that they were already asleep.

"Huh?"

"No?"

Nanahoshi was stunned.

She sat up abruptly, looking incredulously at the boy sprawled out on the floor.

He was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, with a moderate snoring sound.

ah?

Fight poison with poison?

Using magic to defeat magic, huh?

Seriously, how can someone sleep in this situation? How incredibly carefree can someone be?

to be honest.

At first, Nanahoshi thought that Luo Ge must be just as annoyed by the noise from upstairs as he was, and was just pretending to be asleep.

Good heavens, he not only fell asleep, but slept more soundly than anyone else.

Like Luo Ge.

Nanahoshi cannot do that.

She lay back down, curled up in the blankets, and covered her head tightly with the pillow, her expression frantic.

After so many tiring days, how could I possibly encounter such a ridiculous thing while trying to sleep?

The noise is so loud it's keeping me awake...

This is absolutely terrible and incredibly unlucky.

If I had to give this journey to another world a rating, Nanahoshi would definitely give it a bad one.

What kind of journey to another world?

I'm tired. Let everything be destroyed.

"Ugh, Mom and Dad... I want to go home."

When the Nanahoshi awoke.

Luo Ge was the first to notice the dark circles under her eyes; the two bluish-black marks hanging below her eyes made her look like she had been punched twice.

Good morning, Nanahoshi.

Luo Ge walked up and waved.

"Good morning... good morning..." Nanahoshi replied weakly, her voice hoarse.

"That..."

Luo Ge had intended to have Nanahoshi come along to help carry the goods, but after seeing that she seemed to be in a bad state today, as if she hadn't slept well last night...

It really felt a little too bad to do it.

If Nanahoshi were to fall ill, Luo Ge would surely feel sorry for them, wouldn't he?

So Luo Ge gave up on the idea.

"Okay, Nanahoshi, you should rest at the inn today. I'm going out to buy some supplies."

He thought for a moment, then added, "By the way, what would you like to eat? Just say the word."

"Casual!"

Nanahoshi buried her face in the pillow and mumbled a reply.

"Alright then, wait for me to come back..."

Luo Ge picked up his coat and walked towards the door, just as he reached the doorway...

Suddenly, Nanahoshi called out to him, "Wait, please wait a moment."

"Um?"

Luo Ge turned around, thinking that Nanahoshi had changed their minds and was offering to help, while Luo Ge was prepared to refuse.

Suddenly, Nanahoshi lifted half her face from under the pillow, her expression one of great pain. "By the way," she said, "I just wanted to ask you, did you hear those strange noises upstairs last night?"

"Strange sound?"

Luo Ge muttered for a moment, then nodded. "You mean upstairs? Of course I heard you, I'm not deaf..."

"I can hear you, what's wrong?"

"Hello?"

Nanahoshi sat up abruptly, her eyes wide. "Are you kidding me? What a joke! You heard everything, so why didn't you react at all?"

Luo Ge shrugged, looking aggrieved. "I'm only eleven years old. What kind of reaction could I possibly have?"

"???"

Nanahoshi opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute it.

She stared at Luo Ge for several seconds before finally collapsing heavily back onto the bed and pulling the covers over her head.

Nanahoshi had no idea that Luo Ge had grown up like this.

Putting aside the years he spent training at the Sword Sanctum, he had already gotten used to it when he was a child.

noise...

What was torture for the Nanahoshi was nothing more than child's play for Luo Ge, a piece of cake.

As Luo Ge passed the hotel entrance on his way out, he didn't forget to look up.

Suddenly, he raised his middle finger towards the room upstairs from last night, muttering under his breath, "Not as good as Paul."

Then, he turned around and walked towards the market, looking refreshed.

Luo Ge went directly to the market and bought some fruits to supplement his vitamin intake.

After traveling for more than a month, Nanahoshi been eating dry rations and dried meat, and his complexion is getting worse and worse. If we don't give him some vitamins soon, he might have serious health problems.

Besides fruit, he also went to the nearby Adventurers' Guild to exchange currency.

Because the currency system is different when traveling from the human side to the Demon Continent.

Before he set off, he inquired and learned that the Demon Continent used a copper-green coin called Green Ore Coin, as well as Iron Coin, Iron Fragment Coin, Stone Coin...

The workmanship is rough, and the face value varies.

Therefore, he exchanged most of his gold coins for these two currencies in advance.

Compared to the exquisitely crafted gold, silver, and bronze coins of the human race, the currency of the Demon Continent was noticeably cruder, and its weight was uneven when held in the hand.

Luo Ge put the exchanged money pouch into his pocket and was about to leave the Adventurers' Guild when he suddenly bumped into a female adventurer.

"Good afternoon, handsome... Hello, are you also an adventurer around here?"

The speaker was a Long-Ear Race elf girl.

Her light golden hair was styled into two large spiral curls. She had a tall and well-proportioned figure, and her face was so exquisite that it was impossible to look away.

A lazy smile played on his lips, and his amber eyes shone brightly in the guild hall's lighting.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Luo Ge instinctively became alert.

"Um... the weather is really nice today."

The elven girl looked up at the gray harbor sky outside the window, as if reminiscing about something.

Then, without changing her expression, she looked at Luo Ge and said, "How about... buddy, we go over there and have a few drinks? It's on me."

She seemed very enthusiastic and proactive, and her attitude was also very kind.

But for some reason, although Luo Ge couldn't sense any malice from the other person, their gaze seemed to want to devour him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy."

"No, how about we exchange contact information so we can meet up again next time? I'm willing to pay."

"No, no."

Seeing that she was about to get physical with him, Luo Ge quickly shook her off, turned around, sped up, and walked past her toward the guild entrance.

He always felt that the elfin woman's gaze sent chills down his spine, that undisguised scrutiny and interest.

Luo Ge, whose intuition was always accurate, sensed the woman's intentions and ulterior motives.

Therefore, he simply fled.

Watching the boy's departing figure, she felt completely ignored by his charm.

A look of utter disappointment was clearly visible on Elinalise's beautiful face.

She had been wandering around the Adventurers' Guild for half a day, and finally saw someone she liked today, making her very satisfied.

She had wanted to try something different today... but to her surprise, this young man was completely oblivious to romance.

However, Elinalise quickly put the matter behind her and turned her attention back to the other adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild, especially the men.

Their undisguised greedy gazes seemed to be carefully selecting suitable prey for the night.
