On their way back, Meng Li introduced Yuki to an Inn for her to stay in.
"You can stay here for 5 gold coins a week," Meng Li said.
"5 gold coins a week is quite expensive, Senior Li." Yuki said, looking at the luxurious inn.
"We don't lack money here." Meng Li shrugged and handed a room card to Yuki.
Yuki stood outside of the inn and watched as Meng Li left. She sighed and went inside the inn. The inside of the inn was just as luxurious as the outside.
A servant quickly approached her, "Welcome, how may we help you?"
"I have a room card here." Yuki said, handing him the card.
The servant nodded and told a servant beside him to take her to her room.
Yuki followed him and couldn't help but stare at everything as she passed by. A girl who used to grow up in a village and now lives in gold, could not imagine that an inn like this existed in such a place.
"Here is your room, miss." The servant said as he unlocked the door.
Yuki went inside and thanked the servant before closing the door. Her room had a queen-sized bed, a bathroom, and a balcony.
"Wow!" Yuki exclaimed in surprise as she saw the huge bed that was at least four times the size of her old bed back in the village.
She quickly ran towards the bathroom and was amazed by the modern water system in it.
"Wow! This is amazing!" Yuki said as she saw the bathtub and shower that was inside it. She hasn't had a proper shower in a while so she decided to take one, but she didn't have any clothes with her, so she decided to wash her Sects Dragon Robes.
After taking a shower and washing her clothes, Yuki lied on the bed and sighed. She wasn't tired and didn't need to go to sleep, so she started thinking about her match with Ardor Huo earlier.
'I lack power,' Yuki thought and closed her eyes. After a few minutes she opened them and got up from the bed and started meditating, but because there wasn't any snow or ice, the speed here is slower.
'It takes at least a month to rank up to thirteen at this rate.' Yuki sighed.
Deciding to do something else, Yuki left the hotel and walked around the Sect.
"Ow!" Yuki cried out as she bumped into someone and fell back.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?!" The person she bumped into shouted at her angrily.
Yuki looked up and saw that it was a boy around her age with red hair and red eyes. He had a chiseled jawline and had an arrogant aura around him.
"Ardor Huo?" Yuki asked surprised to see him here.
Ardor Huo didn't answer as he looked at her and narrowed his eyes, "You are that girl from earlier?"
"Um, yeah. Nice to meet you?" Yuki said uncertainty as she stood up and dusted her clothes.
Ardor Huo glared at her for a few seconds before calming down slightly and said, "You've won against me by pure luck."
Yuki raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Luck? My spirit and yours are the opposite elements."
Ardor Huo's brows furrowed together, "Regardless, I'll beat you next time."
"What? You count me as your rival or something?" Yuki joked. She remembered some stories that her sister told her. Every strong man in those stories always seemed to have a rival.
"Yes, I do." Ardor Huo said seriously.
"Are you serious?" Yuki asked with wide eyes, and he nodded his head in response.
"You can't be serious right?" Yuki said again.
"I am." Ardor Huo replied, causing Yuki to sigh.
'Am I destined to be dragged into conflicts?' Yuki thought sadly as she watched Ardor Huo walk away from her.
"Guess I have a rival now." Yuki sighed as she headed back to the inn.
A week went by in a flash, and Yuki returned to the Snow Dragon Clan for the majority of it. This allowed her to grow from level 12 to level 13! It would only take her a week to level up back at the Snow Dragon Clan, but outside, it would take a month.
'The increase in Kongli is barely noticeable.' Yuki thought as she got used to the increase in Kongli that she felt from ranking up.
Currently, Yuki was waiting at the entrance of the Coliseum for Meng Li, as she was finally ready to start her first ever mission in the Dragon Sect.
"Yuki, good to see you." Meng Li greeted, and Yuki turned around and saw her approaching with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, senior!" Yuki said and bowed.
"Well, you know that today's your first mission. I can't babysit you everyday you know? So go find the location of the meet up yourself." Meng Li said, handing her a piece of paper.
"Alright, I'll be sure to meet up with them soon!" Yuki said happily and headed off to the location written on the piece of paper.
After a few minutes, she reached the meeting spot which was the 'Legendary Beast' Restaurant.
"It's a bit strange, but what can you do?" Yuki shrugged and went inside the restaurant and saw one girl and three guys who seemed to be her age except one, sitting at a table, talking to each other.
The girl had short black hair with two short buns. She was wearing a dragon robe like Yuki's and she had a lean figure.
One of the boys was very tall with long dark brown hair tied into a ponytail. His face was angular with sharp features, and his eyes were blue and bright. He seemed to have a muscular build.
Another boy had golden blond hair that was cropped short, and his eyes were green and had a cold expression on his face.
While the last... Ardor Huo?
