Phoebe obviously couldn't stay in the Dark Mantle, and now that her relationship with Han Shuo was out in the open, he naturally had to stay with her.
Han Shuo finally left with Phoebe after he had dined with Emily and talked to her quite a lot, intending to find a hotel for the two of them.
There were many hotels of different sizes in the Valley of Sunshine. With so many travelling merchants and adventurers coming and going, the amount of entertainment was no less than in Drol.
Brightly coloured, hazy lights shone out from each hotel onto the streets, alternating with ladies dressed in sexy or innocent outfits casting come-hither glances at passersby on the streets, trying to lure customers.
Han Shuo walked next to Phoebe and didn't look anywhere else. She was quite satisfied with that, but it was actually because Han Shuo had already released his energy on Emily's voluptuous body earlier, so he didn't have any evil thoughts in his head at the moment.
After a while, Phoebe stopped in front of a luxurious looking hotel. She tugged at Han Shuo with her small hand and went inside with him. Before Phoebe had even opened her mouth, the small, skinny owner was smiling at her and said ingratiatingly, "Noble Miss Phoebe, will it be the same room as last time?"
Phoebe nodded, a distant look on her face as she handed over her crystal card without saying a word.
Judging by the owner's expression, it was obvious that this wasn't Phoebe's first visit here. It looked like she'd been to many places in her travels for the Boozt Merchant Guild.
After retrieving her crystal card and key, Phoebe turned her head to smile at Han Shuo and tugged on his arm, leading him inside.
It was nice and warm inside the hotel, quite different from the brutal cold outside. Bright lights hung in the corridors, illuminating the entire hotel.
The solid wood floors shone like mirrors and shoes made a clear sound when they tapped on the floor. The sound was actually quite pleasing to the ear, so it was obvious that these floors weren't ordinary.
Han Shuo realised that Phoebe hadn't prepared another room for him, and some ambiguous movements grew in his heart as they continued down the corridor. Phoebe's not planning on sharing a bed with me, is she?
Han Shuo couldn't help but give Phoebe a passionate look as they walked.
Phoebe's long brown hair fell naturally to the ground like a waterfall, swaying around her translucent cheeks and long neck as she walked. Her eyebrows were like the waxing moon and her skin glowed richly with the splendour of the stars. Her lips were as red as cherries and made you want to bite them hard.
"You big perv, what are you looking at?" Phoebe suddenly stopped and glared at Han Shuo with slightly flushed cheeks.
Han Shuo's gaze had been fiery,with a strong sense of possessiveness. Phoebe was not stupid. Of course, she could see everything clearly and couldn't help but speak up, her heart pounding in panic.
"No, nothing!" Han Shuo came to himself and immediately hid the lecherous look in his eyes. "Why aren't we going anymore?"
"We're here, what nonsense are you thinking? Can't you see the door is right in front of you?" Phoebe's clear eyes were shy as she glared at Han Shuo again, pointing at the door.
Indeed, Han Shuo noticed a tightly closed door as his gaze followed her jade arms. This was also the end of the corridor, and it seemed to be the quietest room in the hotel.
"Nothing much, just thinking about you!" Han Shuo chuckled wickedly and looked directly at Phoebe.
"You wicked fool, you only know how to fob me off with sweet words!" Sweetness rose in Phoebe's heart as she spoke softly.
"Nuh uh, I was really thinking of you just now!" Han Shuo said angrily.
"Then you weren't thinking nice thoughts. Judging by the way you were leering earlier, you must have been thinking something dirty!" Phoebe naturally didn't want to believe anything at this point and snorted quietly as she glanced at Han Shuo.
He really had not been thinking of anything nice just now. Han Shuo could only chuckle dryly after Phoebe had hit the nail on the head and then hurried Phoebe, "Hurry up and open the door. I'm really tired after such a long day, let's go inside and take a shower and sleep."
Phoebe didn't ask any more questions as she took out the key to open the door. She stepped aside to let Han Shuo in and then closed the door behind him.
A spacious living room greeted them, with several fur couches on a soft carpet. Of the four rooms, there were two bedrooms, a bathroom and a storage room for clothes and random knick-knacks.
"You think I didn't know what you were thinking? Huh! There are two rooms here, and each of us will have one. I will run through whoever comes into my room again!" Phoebe threw her head back and threatened Han Shuo as she lit the fire, slowly raising the temperature inside.
"Hehehe, what if whoever barges in runs into a beauty having a wet dream and then throws herself into his arms!" Han Shuo chuckled maliciously.
"You damned bastard! How dare you say that!" Phoebe's face turned bright red as she angrily ran up to Han Shuo and reached out her slender hands to give him a violent pinch around the waist.
He played along and cried out in pain, then pulled his arm around her back and kissed her unceremoniously. Han Shuo explored and ravaged her mouth like a dragon in the ocean as she grunted in protest.
Phoebe fought symbolically for a while before slowly weakening and her hands, which had formed fists that pounded Han Shuo's chest, suddenly twisted like snakes towards his neck, her tongue tangling with Han Shuo's.
Han Shuo laid her down on the soft carpet and tasted her sweetness as he rubbed his hand over her cheeky bottom.
When Han Shuo's hands finally began to caress her breasts, Phoebe suddenly began to struggle and pushed him away violently. She then looked at him with embarrassment as she said seductively, "It looks like I'll have to be careful or you'll take advantage of me whenever I let my guard down. Ugh, after running for so long, my body stinks. I need a shower, you stay out here!"
Phoebe escaped into the bathroom with these words and closed the door with a big bang. The sound of running water could be heard from inside. It looked like she was really in a hurry to wash the dirt off her body.
Bam bam bam... bam bam bam...
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound. Han Shuo blinked and wondered if it was Emily looking for them. Confused, he went over and opened the door. A bouquet of bright fresh flowers was thrust into his face. It looked like there were at least a hundred of them as they gave off a wonderful scent.
The bouquet was abruptly pulled back and a handsome face appeared in front of Han Shuo. His eyebrows were dashing and his eyes were clear. A broad forehead, a firm nose, and apart from the somewhat thin cheeks, this face could be described as unusually handsome.
The charming face had been wearing a disarming smile when it suddenly turned into a frown and the face became covered in clouds. He looked at Han Shuo in an unfriendly manner. "Who are you? Where's Phoebe?"
"She's taking a shower. And who are you?" Han Shuo blinked and then reacted. This must be one of Phoebe's admirers. He also showed the guy a rather unfriendly face.
"Showering! Then what are you doing here?" When he heard that Phoebe was showering and Han Shuo was in the room, his expression became even uglier.
"I'm Florida, chief of the Rainbow Sickle mercenaries. I'm Phoebe's good friend! Of course I have something to discuss with her, so don't block the way!" He glared at Han Shuo angrily and roared softly, magical impulses emanating from his body.
When Han Shuo heard that he was Florida, the chief of the Rainbow Sickle, Han Shuo was immediately startled and looked at this person with more than a hint of caution.
The Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Band was just as famous as the Cairo Mercenary Band. However, the Rainbow Sickle was mostly made up of those from the Lancelot Empire. A few years ago, the Rainbow Sickle had been the strongest in the Valley of Sunshine and had been in charge of enforcement law and order. Unfortunately, the original chief was killed while defending the valley from robbers. As a result, their fortunes had suddenly plummeted.
It was rumoured that this person was an Archmage of Light and seemed to have something to do with the Church of Light. His power was unfathomable, and although he was a righteous man, he was determined and vicious. He never showed mercy to his enemies and had a great reputation among the mercenaries.
Han Shuo hadn't thought that such a person would be one of Phoebe's admirers . Although Han Shuo's head ached a little knowing the other's identity, he wasn't afraid. Han Shuo said coldly, "Sorry, I'm Phoebe's boyfriend. She can't see you right now, so come back next time!"
Han Shuo snorted coldly after speaking and slammed the door shut!
