Every room in the hotel is a work of art, from the choice of furniture materials to the details of decoration, all showcasing the ultimate in luxury. The suites are furnished with antiques from all over the mainland and have a dedicated private butler to meet the needs of the guests at any time.
Inside the restaurant, a top-notch culinary team meticulously prepares delicacies from all over the Douluo Continent, paired with a collection of fine wines, offering guests a feast for both the senses and the eyes.
This place is a symbol of status and prestige; only those with noble blood or who receive a special invitation are qualified to step into this luxurious place and enjoy an unparalleled experience of prestige.
When Dugu Yan stepped into the Xidun Grand Hotel, she was stunned. She thought Yu Tianheng would just find a random place to invite her to dinner, but she never expected him to be so generous.
"Isn't it a bit too extravagant to eat here?" Dugu Yan asked tentatively.
Yu Tianheng waved his hand. "It's alright, I'll treat you to dinner today as compensation for disturbing your cultivation."
As he spoke, Yu Tianheng led Dugu Yan to a private room. After they were seated, he ordered the dishes to be served.
Subsequently, various rare and expensive ingredients and dishes were served one after another. Since it was their first meeting, in order not to leave a bad impression on Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng did not order any alcoholic beverages, but instead ordered two glasses of juice.
After all the dishes were served, the two began to eat.
Although Dugu Yan has an impressive background as the only granddaughter of Poison Douluo, she has always cultivated alone in Dugu Bo's mansion since childhood, rarely having the opportunity to interact with her peers, and she usually doesn't go out alone.
Dugu Bo, however, was focused on his cultivation and, being a man, his culinary skills weren't much better.
Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, Dugu Yan rarely had the opportunity to taste delicious food.
Today we're enjoying a rare feast, so without further ado, let's start indulging!
Yu Tianheng stopped talking and started eating.
Both of them were Soul Master and were in their developmental stage, so their appetites were quite large. They ate for a full half hour before they finished.
When it came time to pay the bill, Dugu Yan was shocked to learn that the meal cost over 1,800 Gold Soul Coin. She opened her mouth wide in disbelief and thought to herself, "This meal is way too expensive!"
Yu Tianheng, however, didn't care at all. He took out his gold card and swiped it to pay the bill.
Then he personally escorted Dugu Yan back to her college dormitory.
Overall, the two got along well during this meeting.
In the days that followed, Yu Tianheng took the initiative to pursue Dugu Yan, taking her out to eat, travel, and shopping. At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng would also guide Dugu Yan in her cultivation of Martial Soul, and the two often sparred and competed. Soon, several months passed, and the relationship between Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan became increasingly intimate.
Through this period of time together, Yu Tianheng has gained a general understanding of Dugu Yan's personality.
First, she is arrogant and ruthless. Dugu Yan comes from the Poison Douluo lineage and has a distinguished family background. She was protected by her family from a young age, which fostered her proud and arrogant nature. She looks down on the weak and is ruthless in battle. She is good at using poison to break the enemy's will.
Women are naturally strong, especially in the profession of Soul Master, where strength is paramount. This is especially true for Dugu Yan due to her background. Fortunately, Yu Tianheng is very strong. At the same age of 15, his Soul Power Level is a full ten levels higher than Dugu Yan's, giving Dugu Yan a significant advantage in martial arts. In their usual sparring matches, Yu Tianheng never holds back and can easily defeat Dugu Yan, leaving an impression of invincibility in her mind.
Secondly, she is resilient and persistent. During their time together, Yu Tianheng discovered that Dugu Yan cultivated very diligently. In order to prove the power of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul, she constantly challenged her own limits and longed to gain Dugu Bo's recognition.
This is similar to Yu Tianheng's experience in the original novel.
In the original work, Yu Tianheng, as the young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, also cultivated very hard, hoping to gain the recognition of the family elders.
That's probably why the two of them got together and became a couple.
Finally, she is sensitive and vulnerable. Because of the extremely venomous nature of her Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorus Snake, Dugu Yan is feared and shunned by others. The students in the academy all keep their distance from her. Although Dugu Yan appears indifferent on the surface, she harbors loneliness and longing in her heart.
Based on this, Yu Tianheng often showed concern and care for Dugu Yan.
I spend almost all my free time with her.
After three months of getting to know each other, Yu Tianheng had become someone Dugu Yan truly trusted, and he would occasionally show his softer side.
In Dugu Yan's heart, Yu Tianheng was second only to her grandfather Dugu Bo.
The two officially confirmed their relationship and became a couple.
They agreed to become partners after graduating from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Within the academy, the two often traveled together, cultivating their Martial Soul.
In a room, Dugu Yan was trying to break through the bottleneck of Soul Master level 34.
Three months ago, her Soul Power Level was only level 32.
To break through two levels in just three months is something that ordinary Soul Master wouldn't even dare to dream of. It should be known that after Soul Master reaches the third ring, it takes several months or even more than half a year of arduous training to break through each level.
The reason for such a rapid cultivation speed is largely due to Yu Tianheng's guidance, and of course, the cultivation of the Innate Skill also played a crucial role.
Inside the room, Dugu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed, her body surrounded by a surge of emerald green Soul Power.
Yu Tianheng stood to the side, his gaze fixed on Dugu Yan, never looking away for a moment. Dugu Yan's breakthrough to the level 34 bottleneck was a natural progression, and there shouldn't be any major problems. However, just in case, Yu Tianheng still stood by and watched over her.
Dugu Yan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her delicate brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was under immense pressure during the breakthrough process.
Her Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, seemed to be summoned by some powerful force, with a faint, illusory serpent shadow appearing behind her, writhing and twisting.
" Yanyan, calm down," Yu Tianheng couldn't help but encourage her, his voice full of concern and trust.
Seemingly encouraged by Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan's previously disordered breathing gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and suddenly circulated her Soul Power, attempting to break through the bottleneck that had been hindering her for so long.
The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense, as if the surrounding air had frozen.
Suddenly, a deep, muffled sound came from Dugu Yan's body, and the emerald green light on her body suddenly surged several times over, and her aura also became much stronger.
"It seems we succeeded!" Yu Tianheng nodded excitedly and strode towards Dugu Yan.
At this moment, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, which shone with excitement and joy. The sharpness brought by the powerful breakthrough still lingered in her emerald eyes.
