The Rose Hotel, Zhu Zhuqing Catches the Adulterer

"You can't!" Before Ao Tian could speak, Xiao Wu shouted out first.

Ao Tian and Gu Yuena looked at Xiao Wu in confusion.

Zhu Zhuqing looked hesitant and said, "But I didn't bring much money with me this time."

Of course, Xiao Wu didn't want that. She felt that she already owed Ao Tian money, and if she kept owing, she would end up being his little wife.

So, she didn't want this girl, who had a better figure than her even if her appearance wasn't worse, to owe money to Ao Tian.

"I don't need you to pay, consider this meal as Ao Tian's treat," Xiao Wu said.

Ao Tian smiled and said, "That's right, we'll be classmates from now on, so treating you to a meal is nothing."

Saying this, he appreciatively patted Xiao Wu's head, thinking that Xiao Wu was on the same wavelength as him, but he didn't guess Xiao Wu's true thoughts.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "Thank you, but I don't like owing favors to others."

Xiao Wu quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, you don't need to repay any favors."

Zhu Zhuqing still shook her head and said, "It's settled then, I will definitely repay the money I owe you."

"If you want to repay, then go ahead," Ao Tian said, not insisting, and took the golden soul coin that Zhu Zhuqing handed over.

Xiao Wu, feeling helpless, could only say, "Just make sure to repay it quickly, don't take too long."

Zhu Zhuqing said, "No problem, now that I'm a Spirit Grandmaster, I can receive ten gold soul coins as a subsidy from the Spirit Hall every month. I'll repay you next month."

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

The few of them got on the carriage and continued on their way.

The carriage wove through the bustling market, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing each leaned by a window, watching the lively scene outside.

"Ao Tian, stop for a moment," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly called out.

Ao Tian stopped the carriage, and Zhu Zhuqing got off, saying, "Wait for me."

With that, she ran towards a nearby stall.

It was a mask stall.

The wooden cart of the stall was filled with all kinds of masks, exquisite, rugged, wicked, terrifying...

Zhu Zhuqing carefully selected, inspired by Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena, she decided to buy one as soon as she saw this mask stall.

"I want one too," Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled, and she followed suit with her veil covering her face.

The two girls took a long time to choose and then returned satisfied with their respective masks.

Xiao Wu held a white rabbit mask.

Zhu Zhuqing held a black winged mask, giving off a strange feeling. Paired with her black clothes and cold demeanor, there was no sense of discordance.

The carriage didn't stop again for the rest of the journey, and it wasn't until evening that they entered a city.

Considering Zhu Zhuqing's spending habits, Ao Tian didn't choose an expensive hotel.

They booked three rooms, one for Ao Tian, one for Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena, and one for Zhu Zhuqing. This time, Zhu Zhuqing ordered her meal separately.

Early the next morning, they set off again and finally arrived at their destination, Suotuo City, around noon.

As one of the two key cities of the Balak Kingdom, Soutuo City had much stronger military strength than other cities, and soldiers on patrol could be seen everywhere.

The streets were bustling with people, and various shops lined the streets, making it very prosperous.

Ao Tian sat in the driver's seat outside, and suddenly Xiao Wu stuck her head out and said, "Shrek Academy won't start enrolling until tomorrow. Let's find a hotel to eat and stay for the night, and set off early tomorrow."

"Alright," Ao Tian said.

Xiao Wu withdrew her head and asked, "Zhuqing, what about you? Will you stay with us or..."

After spending a day together, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were also quite familiar with each other, so she directly called her Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. It's perfect, we can head to Shrek Academy together tomorrow."

"That's great," Xiao Wu exclaimed excitedly. "Let's find a hotel to stay in first, have a meal, and then explore Suotuo City. We'll go to Shrek Academy tomorrow morning."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything. She had made up her mind to stay in the hotel and focus on her training once they settled in.

While she also wanted to go shopping and have fun, she believed that training was more important for her in the long run.

Others might have the luxury to play and waste time, but she didn't have that privilege. If she didn't work hard in her training, and if she lost to her sister in the future, she'd be left with no options.

So, she could only train with all her might.

"Ao Tian, stop, stop," Xiao Wu suddenly shouted.

Ao Tian halted the carriage, and Xiao Wu had already darted out, looking at a nearby hotel.

This hotel was quite unique, with three floors and a relatively small overall size. However, the entire exterior was rose-colored, resembling a giant rose and giving off a dazzling feeling.

Embedded in the walls of the hotel were four gilded characters—Rose Hotel.

"This hotel is so interesting. Ao Tian, let's stay here," Xiao Wu said.

Ao Tian looked at the hotel thoughtfully. Upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Sure."

As he looked at the hotel, a trace of genuine interest appeared on his face.

"I wonder if we'll encounter Tang San here? And that Dai Mubai who's holding the twin sisters," Ao Tian thought.

Thinking about it, he glanced back at the carriage. Zhu Zhuqing was still back there. He wondered if anything interesting would happen if she saw her fiancé messing around with other girls.

Ao Tian didn't use his divine sense to observe the situation inside. For him, surprises were a form of enjoyment. If he knew everything in advance, it would be dull.

Ao Tian drove the carriage to the hotel entrance, and they all got out and walked in.

"Do we need to wear masks?" Zhu Zhuqing asked Xiao Wu in a low voice.

Xiao Wu shook her head and patiently explained, "No need. Suotuo City is a large city, and the public order is very good. We don't have to worry about troublemakers bothering us."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "Xiao Wu, you're very knowledgeable."

Xiao Wu's face instantly turned red. She said, "Well, it's not that. I learned all this from Ao Tian."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ao Tian in front and her curiosity grew stronger.

What kind of person must he be to have two outstanding girls willingly follow him?

The four of them entered the hotel lobby, only to find it in disarray.

The central floor was cracked, and many of the tables and chairs around were overturned, as if they had just been swept by a strong wind.

In addition, there were many remnants of giant Blue Silver Grass on the ground.

Actually, the appearance of these Blue Silver Grass no longer resembled normal Blue Silver Grass. But Ao Tian and Xiao Wu recognized it at a glance because they were very familiar with it; it was Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

"Isn't this Tang San's Blue Silver Grass? Could it be that he's also here? And he got into a fight with someone?" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, a middle-aged man hurried over.

He had an apologetic expression and said, "Hello, I'm the hotel manager. I'm very sorry, but our hotel rooms are currently fully booked."

Xiao Wu felt a bit disappointed and asked, "Was there a boy with Blue Silver Grass martial soul here just now, fighting with someone?"

The hotel manager nodded and said, "Yes."

"And who won?"

"The Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master won."

Xiao Wu nodded and didn't say anything further.

Ao Tian said, "Since there are no rooms here, let's find another place."
