Chapter 403 Sharing a Room
what--
A long, piercing scream echoed in the hotel lobby.
Ye Qifeng, Zhu Zhuqing, and the hotel manager all turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound.
Just moments ago, Dai Mubai was lying dead in the corner, but now he had been helped up by the brightly dressed twin sisters and regained consciousness.
The screams came from Dai Mubai's mouth.
"Huff—, cough cough"
After the scream, Dai Mubai vomited again, followed by a series of violent coughs, clearly indicating that his injuries had caused stomach spasms.
His twin sisters, who were serving him, were flustered and didn't know what to do.
"Stop pretending to be dead, get up and greet the guests!"
The hotel manager kicked the waiter who was still hiding under the counter, calling him out and instructing him to serve Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing.
Immediately afterwards, the hotel manager abandoned Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing and rushed anxiously to Dai Mubai's side to inquire about his well-being.
Dai Mubai is an important client of their Rose Hotel, enjoying VIP treatment and being one of the hotel's major sources of revenue.
Now that Dai Mubai is seriously injured, as the manager of the Rose Hotel, he should go over to inquire about his condition and provide some service by taking Dai Mubai to the medical clinic and finding a healing-type Soul Master to treat his injuries.
As for the cost...
Of course, it was registered under Dai Mubai's account.
Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai a few times before looking away.
"Are you two looking for a hotel?"
At this moment, the waiter behind the counter finally came to his senses and remembered his work. He hurriedly called out to Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, who were standing in front of the counter.
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly and repeated what he had said to the hotel manager earlier:
"Please give us two rooms."
Upon hearing this, the waiter behind the counter immediately gave a strange look.
He first glanced at Ye Qifeng, then at Zhu Zhuqing, secretly giving Ye Qifeng a knowing look before speaking in a serious tone:
"Excuse me, gentlemen, we only have one room left."
Seeing the subtle exchange between the waiters, Ye Qifeng's brow twitched. You guys are all in cahoots, aren't you? You even say the exact same things.
And judging from your acting skills, you're even better than that hotel manager from before. You speak more fluently than him too. You must do this kind of thing quite often.
Seeing Ye Qifeng staring intently at him, the waiter quickly emphasized:
"Excuse me, gentlemen, our hotel only has one room left."
"But you two can rest assured, our rooms are very large and fully equipped, more than enough for two people."
Given the Rose Hotel's standards, one room is more than enough for two people, but he and Zhu Qing are not a couple, nor are they here for pleasure; they want a room for normal check-in.
No matter how eloquently the waiter spoke or how he tried to signal to Ye Qifeng, he remained unmoved. Meeting the waiter's somewhat envious gaze, he insisted that he wanted two rooms, not just one.
But at that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly reached out and tugged at his clothes from behind.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qifeng turned around and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.
"One room."
Zhu Zhuqing slightly raised her head, meeting Ye Qifeng's questioning gaze, and spoke softly with clear eyes.
"What?"
Ye Qifeng looked at her in astonishment, wondering if he had misheard.
"Brother Ye, one room will suffice."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained calm and aloof as always, but this time she raised her voice so that Ye Qifeng could hear her more clearly.
"One room is enough?"
Ye Qifeng's expression clearly froze for a moment.
But after a moment's thought, he guessed that Zhu Zhuqing might not like this hotel because of Dai Mubai, and therefore didn't want to stay here. So he asked:
"Don't you want to live here?"
"no."
Zhu Zhuqing gently shook her head, then said something that was sure to shock:
"I want to live with you, Brother Ye."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and then tightly pulled Ye Qifeng's arm into her embrace.
"???"
Suddenly feeling a soft touch on his arm, Ye Qifeng's forehead was instantly filled with question marks as he tilted his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him:
"Zhuqing, what's wrong with you??"
But then Zhu Zhuqing winked at him and gestured with her small mouth towards a certain direction behind her.
Ye Qifeng was slightly surprised. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him and quickly saw a pair of angry eyes staring intently at them.
That's Dai Mubai, isn't it?
Ye Qifeng suddenly realized what Zhu Zhuqing meant.
She's really going to drive Dai Mubai crazy!
Dai Mubai had previously suspected that she was having an affair with him, and her attempts to explain were to no avail; Dai Mubai did not believe her.
So, is she planning to go all out and do the opposite of what she expected, to prove Dai Mubai wrong? Is she deliberately trying to anger him, so that he'll give up completely and agree to annul their engagement?
Ah this
Unexpectedly, beneath Zhu Zhuqing's cold and indifferent exterior, there lies a cunning and vengeful heart.
Ye Qifeng glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with some surprise, but he thought to himself that this was completely unnecessary.
Dai Mubai is nothing but a clown; there's no need to care about him.
Now that you have agreed to join the Spirit Hall, you are already a member of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall and I will naturally protect you and will not allow anyone to harm or force you.
With me here and the Spirit Hall as our backer, no one can do anything to you.
As for that engagement, it's utterly worthless. I can cancel it whenever I want; why should I care about Dai Mubai's opinion?
Although Ye Qifeng felt that Zhu Zhuqing's actions were somewhat unnecessary, after thinking about it, he decided to go along with her wishes and play along with her in this charade.
As long as she's happy.
It's not bad to annoy Dai Mubai; let's just treat it as a bit of fun.
In a flash, Ye Qifeng made a decision: to cooperate with Zhu Zhuqing and put on a good show to leave a deep impression on Dai Mubai.
So he turned to the waiter behind the counter, deliberately raised his voice, and said loudly:
"Did you hear me? Get us a room."
Is this even possible? Letting the girl do it herself? Holy crap, this guy's a pro! The waiter's eyes widened in surprise, then he reacted quickly, pulling a shiny silver key from the counter and handing it to Ye Qifeng:
"Your rooms are on the top floor, the room number is Blue Rose, and the rent is eight gold soul coins per day."
Oh? Blue Enchantress? It's not that Red Ocean?
Uh, the key to that room seems to be in the hands of the hotel manager. The key should be a bright gold color, and the price seems to be ten gold soul coins a day, which is two gold soul coins more expensive than the Blue Enchantress. It should be the most luxurious room in the Rose Hotel.
The Blue Enchantress suite should be considered a second-tier couple's suite.
Although I really wanted to see what the so-called "sea of red" was like, it didn't matter.
If Zhu Qing stayed in the room with the red ocean theme, she might feel very uncomfortable.
After all, that was where Dai Mubai had always sought pleasure.
She definitely wouldn't like it.
Blue Rose it is, it's just acting anyway, as long as it's a couple's suite, it's fine.
"Thank you!"
Ye Qifeng gave a faint thank you and took the key from the waiter.
"You're welcome, have a great time!"
The waiter gave a knowing smile and secretly gave Ye Qifeng a thumbs-up, as if to say:
"Dude, that's awesome!"
Ye Qifeng ignored him, twirling the bright silver key in his hand, and led Zhu Zhuqing, who was leaning against him and whose face was already starting to turn red, towards the staircase next to the hotel lobby.
…………
At this moment, Dai Mubai had caught his breath. Although his injuries were severe and he was in excruciating pain, he refused to seek treatment from a healing-type Soul Master despite the persuasion of the twin sisters and the Rose Hotel manager.
Because he saw that Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing were going to book a room at the Rose Hotel and even stay in a couple's suite together.
It made him furious.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing affectionately hugging Ye Qifeng's arm, tilting her head back with a look of deep affection and adoration, Dai Mubai felt as if his heart was being torn apart by a knife.
Dai Mubai stared intently at Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, as if he wanted to etch the images of this "adulterous couple" deep into his mind.
The anger and humiliation in his eyes were almost overflowing.
Seeing that Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing had already booked a room and were about to go upstairs, Dai Mubai finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He roared suddenly:
"Zhu Zhuqing, you stop right there!"
Upon hearing Dai Mubai's roar, Zhu Zhuqing paused, and Ye Qifeng also stopped. The two turned around and looked back in the direction of the sound.
Looking at Dai Mubai, who was seriously injured but forced himself to get up.
Ye Qifeng remained calm, a faint smile on his face, but said nothing more.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, looked at him with cold eyes, as if he were looking at an insignificant stranger, and said in an icy tone:
"Is there something you need?"
Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's cold gaze, Dai Mubai's anger intensified, and he immediately rebuked and ordered:
"Zhu Zhuqing, how dare you cheat on me with another man? Don't forget who you are! Come back here right now and leave that gigolo!"
Zhu Zhuqing remained unmoved and gave a cold laugh:
"Dai Mubai, you have no right to criticize or order me around. There is absolutely nothing between us anymore."
"I know my own identity perfectly well, and I don't need you to remind me. This has absolutely nothing to do with you."
"Also, Brother Ye isn't some pretty boy; he's much stronger than you. You've been beaten up like this by Brother Ye, and you still have the nerve to bark and rave here, slandering him?"
"Hehe, you should worry about your own injuries first."
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to talk to him anymore. Instead, in front of him, she hugged Ye Qifeng's arm even tighter and pressed her body against him.
She spoke to Ye Qifeng in a gentle, almost coquettish tone:
"Brother Ye, ignore him, let's go."
"it is good."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, glanced at Dai Mubai, and didn't say anything more, just gave him a smile.
The smile was very light and faint, without any hidden meaning.
However, silence speaks louder than words, and some people will fill in the blanks in their own minds.
The smile on Ye Qifeng's face, in Dai Mubai's eyes, was full of mockery, sarcasm, and provocation.
This enraged him so much that he wanted to rush forward and smash Ye Qifeng's handsome face with a single punch.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you! Ooh-hoo—"
But at that moment he was seriously injured. He struggled for a long time but could not stand up. Instead, he aggravated his injuries, and a sharp pain struck him. After screaming, he fell back down.
The Rose Hotel manager and twin sisters surrounding him were immediately thrown into a flurry of activity.
…………
"Oh, and remember to tell your manager that the hotel repair costs should be charged to that young master Dai's account. I remember he said before that all of this would be on his behalf."
At the counter, Ye Qifeng pointed to the messy hotel lobby and gave a message to the waiter.
Then he led Zhu Zhuqing toward the stairwell.
"Okay, okay."
The waiter quickly nodded and responded with a fawning smile.
It turns out that the arrogant Young Master Dai was beaten into that state by the young man in front of him.
Therefore, the young man before us is a Soul Master even more powerful than Dai Shao.
This greatly surprised the waiter, who couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't angered this Soul Master.
However, it was truly a great job for this Soul Master to beat Young Master Dai into such a pathetic state!
Who told Young Master Dai to be so arrogant and domineering? He finally ran into a brick wall, didn't he? Hahaha
The waiter wore a fawning expression, but inside he was overjoyed and gloating.
It's a pity I didn't see it with my own eyes; it's a bit of a regret.
…………
"Wait a moment."
As Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing reached the stairwell and were about to climb the steps, another shout suddenly rang out, stopping them in their tracks.
Ye Qifeng frowned and turned to look at the source of the shout—Tang San.
That's right, the person who stopped Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing this time was Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San, with the help of Xiao Wu, managed to stand up.
Looking at Tang San, Ye Qifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his face expressionless.
"What do you want now?"
Tang San looked somewhat embarrassed.
If he could, he didn't want to have any interaction with this man who made him feel humiliated.
However, in order to retrieve his Zhuge Crossbow and Xiao Wu's hidden arrow, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and step forward to negotiate with the other party.
Tang San took a few deep breaths, suppressing the humiliation, resentment, and bitterness in his heart, and forced a smile onto his face:
"Brother Ye Ye, could you please return our hidden weapons to us?"
He now knew that the man's surname was Ye, because Dai Mubai's fiancée, well, the girl named Zhu Zhuqing, always called him Brother Ye.
To show his friendliness, Tang San could only helplessly call out "Brother Ye".
"Oh? You want those two hidden weapons back?"
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow, holding them above his palm.
"Yes, is that alright?"
The moment Tang San saw Ye Qifeng take out the Zhuge Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow, his breathing suddenly quickened, and he almost couldn't control himself and rushed forward to take them back.
But he restrained himself.
"If you want these two hidden weapons back, it's not impossible."
Ye Qifeng smiled and said, "However, you have to agree to one condition first!"
"What are the conditions?"
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
"The condition is very simple, it is..."
Ye Qifeng smirked and pointed to Xiao Wu next to Tang San:
"Make that little rabbit next to you kneel down and apologize to Zhu Qing for its previous rudeness."
