Chapter 48 I'm Not Interested in You_1

Ning Rongrong sighed helplessly. Although the room was narrow, she had no choice but to accept it—after all, she had already spoken.

The facilities were far inferior to those of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, to such an extent that it could be described as the ultimate in inadequacy...

Even the lighting was extremely weak, as if it might go out in the next second...

However, when her gaze once again swept over the very narrow water pool shrouded in mist at the side, her mood somewhat improved...

Patted her chest for self-comfort, "Fortunately, there's a pool here. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stay in this kind of room."

Then she silently closed the door, cautiously walked over to the bed, and slowly took off each piece of clothing. After folding them neatly, she elegantly stepped into the glistening water pool with her smooth, naked body...

Every tender inch of her skin that touched the water was assailed by an intense coldness that made her tremble nonstop...

The vapor she had just seen was not from hot water, but frigidly cold water that emitted a foggy mist!

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her limbs involuntarily curling up due to the freeze...

Finally, she couldn't help but curse angrily, "Damn it... even the bathwater is freezing cold, what sort of shabby resting room is this?"

Ning Rongrong's instinct was to get out of the pool immediately, but when her eyes landed on the dark grey bed and pillows, she didn't even need to lie down to sense the repulsive stench emanating from the bedding...

She stifled the thought that had just risen in her mind; at least, the water in the pool seemed clean and odorless...

When compared to that bed...

...

Before long, Xu Sheng, who had been sleeping soundly on the lovers' bed covered in rose petals with his eyes closed, was jolted awake by a sudden, hasty knocking...

He rubbed his eyes in a daze and then slowly stood up...

As he stood up, his first move was to look at himself in the mirror across the room. He saw his disheveled long hair, a clear sign of just having woken up...

He silently walked over to the mirror and began to tidy his hair...

"Bang, bang, bang!" The door resounded with another burst of urgent knocking just a few seconds after he had started preening...

Xu Sheng immediately narrowed his eyes. Who could be knocking on his door at such a late hour?

Could it be...

Someone was tracking him?

His eyes turned cold in an instant, and several tendrils of Nine-heart Asiatic Apple vine concealed themselves in the palm of his hand...

If the visitor meant harm, then they would be killed!

...

Outside, Ning Rongrong felt the cold with only a piece of white cloth wrapped around her enviable ketone body, her hands clutching her soaked clothes...

This somewhat reduced her noble aura but added a touch much allure, unknowingly spreading a unique exotic charm...

Ning Rongrong gave a light cough, shook her wet hair, and then, with a look of confusion, she peered at the door, mumbling quietly, "Could it be that there's nobody here? Why didn't the previous female attendant let me stay then...?"

If there was no one, what was she to do, given her drastically different circumstances?

Her only wearable clothes were soaking wet in the room next door with the leaky roof. Otherwise, as the young miss of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, how could she possibly be standing here so indecently with nothing but a white cloth for cover...

While she was pondering, the door slowly opened...

Looking menacing with an icy countenance, Xu Sheng gradually stepped out from within...

He focused his gaze and, upon realizing it was Ning Rongrong, the defensive Nine-Hearted Begonia vine withdrew back into his body...

When Ning Rongrong saw Xu Sheng with his long hair trailing down his back, bursting with attractiveness, and his whole being exuding an air of aloofness, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes...

Do all men who stay at couples' hotels look handsome? She had randomly knocked on the neighbor's door and still managed to encounter a man with such bewitching good looks.

However, judging by his expression, he didn't seem like an easy person to get along with...

But considering her own situation, Ning Rongrong bit the bullet and apologetically said, "This... this, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest. I'm the tenant living next door to you."

"Rong..." Xu Sheng instinctively began to call out Ning Rongrong's name, but seeing her stiff attitude towards him, he silently swallowed his words...

But Xu Sheng didn't blame her. After all, they had only met for one day, no, it should be said only one evening...

So it was not impossible for her to forget an unimportant person like him over the course of three long years...

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Xu Sheng's tone was slightly indifferent as he asked, "Is there something you need?"

Since Ning Rongrong no longer recognized him, he thought it best to let it be, no need to bring it up...

Ning Rongrong's body trembled again as she said, "The room next door has a water leak, and all my clothes are soaked. So I wanted to ask if I could possibly stay here for the night?"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's face turned a deep shade of red, and she almost completely buried her head...

She even felt that her own situation was overly melodramatic...

After all, this hotel was considered a five-star establishment in Soto City, and it was basically impossible for such an accident to happen...

And to request to stay in someone else's room for a night, wouldn't anyone mind?

Even she would feel the same...

Xu Sheng glanced at her trembling legs and turned, walking back inside his room...

Seeing Xu Sheng's movement, Ning Rongrong's face showed traces of disappointment as she thought to herself, "As expected? Was my request too much?"

But the next second, a cool voice came from inside the room, "Come in."

Ning Rongrong, who had braced herself for rejection, lit up with joy upon hearing this voice...

Grateful, she uttered two words, "Xie Xie!"

Then she walked in with her clothes and slammed the door shut...

...

Once Ning Rongrong entered, she felt the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, especially those fragrant rose petals that made her blood as a woman surge with excitement...

Her gaze lifted slightly, and upon seeing Xu Sheng sitting silently on the rose-covered bed, she could faintly sense that his eyes were fixed on her...

The white cloth wrapped around Ning Rongrong's body involuntarily tightened...

Thinking about being alone in a room with a man, she felt an immense tension, as if a heavy stone were suspended in her heart...

And it looked like if this man, who appeared to be walking on thin ice, wanted to do something to her, she, a support-class Soul Master, would have no power to resist!

After placing her clothes on a chair nearby, she mustered a weak smile and said to Xu Sheng, "That... um..."

Xu Sheng's chilly gaze swept over her cheek, and he then silently closed his eyes, his tone somewhat disdainful, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you..."

Ning Rongrong, hearing these words, felt a sting...

She looked down at her own figure, gnashed her teeth, and said resentfully to herself, "How can this man speak like that, saying he's not interested in me? My body isn't bad, okay?"

Where it should be full, it's full; where it should be perky, it's perky!

Where's the lack of interest supposed to be?
