The receptionist seemed very familiar with this kind of business, the implications in her words being self-evident.
Zhu Zhuqing was instantly speechless, feeling as if something were blocking her throat.
Her cheeks burned, and for a long while, she couldn’t squeeze out a single word.
Lin Feng, however, reached out and naturally wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing’s slender waist, pulling her closer to him.
Then, with a brilliant smile plastered on his face, he said to the receptionist, “Of course we are!
Look at my girlfriend.”
“She’s sustained some injuries and needs to recuperate here for a few days.
Could you please open a room for us quickly?”
Zhu Zhuqing was startled into stiffness by his sudden intimate gesture.
Before this, no member of the opposite sex had ever had such close contact with her.
How many times had this happened today?
Should she slap this hand away?
But the warm sensation coming from her waist…
She was surprised to find that she didn’t feel the repulsion she had expected in her heart.
What was wrong with her?
She didn’t think she was a shallow person who only cared about looks, but at this moment, that belief seemed to show faint signs of wavering.
If Lin Feng knew her thoughts, he would probably associate it with the hidden bonus of his system’s 99 points of Charm.
He might even say arrogantly, ‘Ah, my damn, nowhere-to-be-placed charm…’
In the past, he was someone with no presence at all.
It would have been impossible for someone to develop a good impression of him so casually.
But with these 99 points of Charm, his presence was dialed up to the max.
While her thoughts were in disarray, Lin Feng’s hand on her waist gave her a light, imperceptible squeeze.
“Ah~~”
“Girlfriend, what are you dazing out for?”
He leaned close to her ear and urged in a low voice, “Hurry up and pay…”
In that brief moment of her being stunned, the receptionist had already efficiently completed the procedures and handed over a room card with a smile.
“Two distinguished guests, that will be three gold coins for a three-day reservation.
Thank you for your patronage!”
Zhu Zhuqing felt her heart bleeding…
Three gold coins for just three days?
This is practically a scam shop!
But the room card was already held out before her; obviously, not paying was not an option.
Gritting her teeth, she gave Lin Feng a resentful glare.
She had never seen such a stingy man!
Her waist was squeezed just now, wasn’t it?
She hated this kind of contact that had no sense of boundaries!
Were they that close?
Was this waist something he could just grab?
He even squeezed it, and he wanted to take her as a disciple—he clearly had ulterior motives.
Handing over three gold coins and taking the room card, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t help but give Lin Feng’s waist a vicious pinch in her anger.
“Hiss…
It hurts!” Lin Feng gasped.
“Stop it, you can mess with me however you want once we’re back in the room,” he said with a grin, rubbing his waist.
Zhu Zhuqing’s stomach hurt from anger as she slapped away his hand, which had tried to touch her again.
She walked quickly toward the room, only wanting to get away from this improper guy.
She was currently covered in blood and grime, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
She just wanted to take a hot bath immediately and change out of these dirty clothes.
The two of them entered the room one after the other.
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t care about the distinction between men and women anymore; she headed straight for the bathroom as soon as she entered.
“Oh, girlfriend, are you in that much of a hurry to go?
Can’t wait that much?”
Lin Feng leaned against the doorframe, deliberately teasing her with a drawn-out tone.
What responded to him was a massive eye-roll so cold it could practically freeze into ice.
Zhu Zhuqing’s naturally cold personality was being stirred into a mess of irritation and stifled breath by this man.
Her full chest rose and fell; she was clearly quite angry.
She hated people with no sense of boundaries.
“Bang!”
The bathroom door was slammed shut, the force making the doorframe tremble, venting her dissatisfaction.
Lin Feng shrugged, put away the mischievous grin on his face, and walked nonchalantly toward the large bed.
He dove onto it, rolling around comfortably in the soft bedding.
“Comfortable, and I didn’t even have to spend my own money,” he sighed contentedly.
He was truly afraid of being poor; after saving for years, he only had a few hundred gold coins, and he couldn’t bear to squander them in a place like this.
His gaze swept randomly around the room, but was eventually firmly drawn to the frosted crystal wall of the bathroom.
This was a themed hotel for couples, after all; certain atmospheres were standard features.
Behind the semi-transparent crystal glass, a graceful figure was hazily undressing, her curves appearing and disappearing.
Lin Feng’s eyes widened a bit.
He had lived two lives and seen countless films; logically, he should have some self-control.
The problem was, this eighteen-year-old body had ideas of its own!
He struggled to look away, no longer seeking out his own suffering.
He forced himself to calm his mind and began to study the large pile of martial arts manuals rewarded by the system to distract himself.
Inside the bathroom, Zhu Zhuqing had already shed all her clothes.
She didn’t enter the bathtub immediately but stood before the mirror, carefully inspecting her body.
She had felt long ago that her injuries seemed completely healed, and now she wanted to confirm it.
“Are the injuries on my body really all gone?
Not even a single scar left?”
The skin in the mirror was as smooth as before, without any wounds to be seen.
She remembered clearly that she had no fewer than dozens of wounds, large and small, all over her body; now they had vanished without a trace.
“This guy’s healing methods are surprisingly formidable.”
Thinking about how Lin Feng had silently killed a Soul Ancestor with a wave of his hand, doubt surfaced in her mind again.
“But if he’s a Healing Soul Master, where did those cold killing methods come from?”
This man who had suddenly appeared by her side made a desire to investigate quietly sprout in her heart.
“Well, after I finish my bath, maybe I can ask and find out.”
The warm water enveloped her body as Zhu Zhuqing slowly submerged into the bathtub, unable to stop a satisfied sigh from escaping her lips.
She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had taken such a comfortable bath.
The warm water soothed her fatigue and allowed her thoughts to drift.
Her mind involuntarily replayed everything that had happened since meeting Lin Feng.
Why did he suddenly appear there and save her?
How old was he to have such powerful strength?
Why had she followed his words as if possessed along the way?
And how did she end up staying in the same room as this man in such a muddled way?
Did he want to take her as a disciple out of sincerity, or did he have another purpose?
Zhu Zhuqing was well aware of the trouble her appearance caused; whenever she appeared in public, she always drew many ill-intentioned gazes.
Thinking it over and over, she still couldn’t make sense of it.
“Forget it, I’ll just treat it as repaying him for saving my life.”
She murmured in her heart, having made a decision.
She wondered if she should find an excuse to leave after the bath.
After all, she and Lin Feng weren’t really familiar; what was the point of a man and a woman staying in the same room?
She was faintly worried things might escalate into a passionate situation.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, already lying on the bed, didn’t know what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking.
He was communicating with the system in his mind.
He directly asked the doubt in his heart:
“System, what counts as a successful discipleship?”
