Yelin City was not far from Delun City, but as Qian Xunji walked and stopped along the way, it ultimately took him a month to arrive at the destination.
“This is Yelin City, and the lantern festival here is famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent…
Of course, that is for ordinary people.”
“Most Soul Masters do not pay much attention to the lantern festival in Yelin City,” Qian Xunji said, pointing at the city not far ahead.
“We’ve finally arrived in Yelin City,” Ah Yin said somewhat tiredly.
Qian Xunji was truly a beast; it was clearly a journey of only a few days, yet he had stubbornly dragged it out into a full month.
“If you are tired, we can rest for a bit after entering the city,” Qian Xunji said with a gentle tone as he looked at the fatigued Ah Yin.
This period had indeed been hard on Ah Yin.
Who told him, a Titled Douluo, to have such a strong physical constitution?
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been that exhausting.
“At least you, this beast, still have a conscience.” Ah Yin glanced indifferently at Qian Xunji.
Although the other party was quite beastly, from their interactions over this period of time, she could tell that Qian Xunji was treating her with genuine sincerity.
Despite his initial motives not being pure, she actually quite enjoyed this kind of life where she did not need to worry about her identity being exposed or live in constant fear.
“Calling me a beast every single day, am I really that much of a beast?
I feel like I’m a pretty good person?” Qian Xunji said, rubbing his chin.
He considered himself to be quite good to Ah Yin, but alas, the other party either called him a beast or a brute.
“Humph!” Ah Yin crossed her arms in front of her chest, her lips puffed out in anger.
“You still have the nerve to say that?
Can you even be considered a human, not giving me a single day of rest time!”
“Hahahaha!” Qian Xunji gave an awkward laugh.
“Isn’t this to have a child sooner?
And once you have it, you will also have a sense of security, won’t you?
You won’t need to worry about me casting you aside after you’ve served your purpose.”
“Alright, alright, let’s go inside.
We came at just the right time, as there is going to be a lantern festival in Yelin City tonight.”
“How do you know about it so clearly?
Did you do your homework specifically for me?” Ah Yin said with a cheeky smile.
“Don’t flatter yourself.
All of this was told to me by that obedient disciple of mine.
At that time I didn’t even know…” Speaking up to this point, Qian Xunji rubbed the space between his brows.
“Who could have imagined it would turn out like this?”
“Anyway, I simply cannot understand why she would refuse to be the Holy Maiden and instead insist on simping for a good-for-nothing?”
“I don’t understand it either,” Ah Yin said indifferently.
“Perhaps something is wrong with her brain?
Spirit Hall is so powerful, yet she actually wanted to leave Spirit Hall.
It is simply outrageous!”
“Mhm…” Qian Xunji nodded slightly.
“Who can understand such a thing?
Even if a god came, they wouldn’t be able to figure it out.”
“Hahahaha…” Ah Yin immediately burst into laughter.
“However, don’t you plan to seek justice from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?”
“Justice will definitely be sought, and by now this matter is probably already creating a huge uproar all over Spirit City.”
“But seeking justice will definitely have to wait until I go back.
As for right now, this belongs to my vacation!
You have no idea how exhausting it is to be the Pope!”
“Even for some trivial matters, the people below will still submit them up for the Pope to decide…”
“Is it really like this?” Ah Yin listened in a daze.
She had originally thought the Pope was a very noble identity, but she hadn’t expected it to be so tiring as well.
“Hearing you complain these past few days, even when we were doing things you were still complaining, it made me want to meet her.”
Qian Xunji waved his hand and said, “When we return to Spirit City, you will have plenty of time to see her.
But why would you want to see her?
Bad luck!”
“Isn’t it because I always hear you talking about her and want to see what kind of person she actually is in person,” Ah Yin said with a smile.
“Her cultivation has been crippled by me, her Martial Soul shattered by me, her Bloodline extracted by me, and her appearance ruined by me.
What is there to see?”
“Of course, if you really want to see her, you will have plenty of time after returning to Spirit City in the future.
As for right now…
let’s hurry and enter Yelin City.”
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way, quickly arriving before the city gates of Yelin City.
Countless pedestrians came and went here.
After all, this was a city whose lantern festival was famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
On the day of the lantern festival, a vast number of people came here from all over.
After entering Yelin City, the first things that came into view were the peddlers hawking their wares on both sides.
Their numbers were extremely large, making it exceptionally lively.
“It’s so lively here…” Ah Yin said happily.
“That goes without saying.
It will be even livelier by nighttime, and by then this street will be packed with a sea of people,” Qian Xunji said indifferently.
“Let’s find a place to stay first.
Hmm, that Rose Grand Hotel ahead looks not bad,” Qian Xunji said with a smile, pointing at the hotel in front.
“Rose Grand Hotel?
Just hearing the name sounds improper!” Ah Yin said, staring at the hotel ahead that was hanging pink neon lights.
“How is it improper?
Isn’t a hotel just a place for people to live in?” Qian Xunji said with a smile.
Soon, the two of them entered the lobby of the Rose Grand Hotel.
“Open a room,” Qian Xunji called out to the front desk staff, holding Ah Yin around her waist.
After paying the money, Qian Xunji brought Ah Yin upstairs.
The decorations inside the room were extremely luxurious, truly living up to being the largest hotel in Yelin City!
The decorative atmosphere inside the hotel leaned more toward pink, and a large heart-shaped bed was placed in the middle.
No matter how one looked at it, it looked improper.
“This…
what is this smell in the room?” Ah Yin sniffed carefully at the special scent inside the room and asked with tightly furrowed brows.
“This is called romantic fragrance.
It has that sort of…
subtle effect, you understand…” Qian Xunji said with a wicked smile.
“Ah?” Hearing this, Ah Yin’s face instantly flushed red, and she stamped her feet in anger.
“I knew it, this hotel is improper!”
“You don’t understand this, do you?
My dear, worldly-inexperienced, innocent Blue Silver Emperor, this is a couple’s suite!”
“A couple’s suite?
Why would they open this kind of suite for us?
Did we ever request it?” Ah Yin asked, stunned upon hearing this.
“You really are ridiculously innocent…” Qian Xunji supported his forehead with one hand upon hearing this and said, “Do we not look like a couple?”
“Opening a single room and still holding your waist, this shouldn’t be hard to associate, right?
You really are hilariously innocent.”
Qian Xunji couldn’t help but start ridiculing Ah Yin.
Ah Yin during this period was simply too innocent.
So innocent that it made him want to bully her fiercely!
“I…
I…” Hearing this, Ah Yin’s face instantly blushed red.
“Think whatever you want.”
“Look at you, what are you blushing for?
We already know each other inside and out—you know my length, and I know your depth.
How can you blush just from a few casual words of mine?” Qian Xunji teased.
“I-I-I…” Ah Yin stammered.
“Ah Yin, you really are a peerless beauty.
Fortunately I discovered you early, otherwise you would have been cheapened by those two brothers.”
“They like me?” Ah Yin asked in surprise.
“Is that hard to see?
That Tang Hao looked at you with eyes that were practically drawing threads of affection, and moreover, if he didn’t like you, why would he want to protect you so much?” Qian Xunji said helplessly.
No wonder it took three years for Tang Hao and Ah Yin to establish a relationship in the original timeline; the problem turned out to be right here.
