A few days later, Su Ming and his two companions finally arrived at Soto City. It was nearly noon, and they planned to first find a place to eat and then settle in at a hotel before heading to Shrek Academy for the entrance exam the day after tomorrow.
They had two days to explore and familiarize themselves with the city, which was much larger than Nuoding City. The hustle and bustle were palpable. After a simple meal, they began searching for a place to stay. It didn't take long before they found a uniquely styled hotel—Rose Hotel.
Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. He had expected it. This had to be the hotel. Would they bump into Dai Mubai, just like in the original story?
Oh well, he thought. As long as they didn't get into a confrontation, it should be fine. Even though Su Ming wasn't fond of Dai Mubai, he had no reason to pick a fight. Hopefully, Dai Mubai wouldn't be too much of a troublemaker.
Xiao Wu cheerfully looked at Su Ming and said, "What do you think, brother? Let's stay at this hotel. It looks really nice."
Su Ming mused to himself, Of course it looks nice—this kind of hotel is meant for certain kinds of guests. No wonder it's well-kept.
He patted Xiao Wu's head, pinching her rabbit ears as he responded, "Whatever makes you happy."
Feeling the warmth on her head, Xiao Wu blushed slightly and hugged Su Ming's arm as they walked in.
Tang San, who had been observing from the side, felt a bit uneasy. His mood soured.
Nevertheless, he followed them inside.
At the front desk, Su Ming spoke to the receptionist, "We'd like three rooms, please."
The receptionist immediately stood up, casting an ambiguous look at Su Ming and Xiao Wu, then at Tang San beside them. She couldn't resist asking, "Are you sure you want three rooms?"
Su Ming nodded. "Yes, is there a problem?"
Sensing something off with the receptionist's expression, Su Ming had a hunch.
And sure enough, the receptionist sighed with a helpless look. "I'm sorry, but we only have two rooms left. Would you be willing to share?"
She even winked at Su Ming.
Don't think I don't know what you're implying! Su Ming thought. I swear, I'm not like that!
But then he remembered, in this world, people were considered adults at twelve years old. The maturity rate was far too fast.
Su Ming reluctantly asked again, "Are you sure there aren't any other rooms available?"
The receptionist firmly replied, "None at all."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face flushed. She wasn't the naïve girl who had just stepped into human society anymore. She knew the receptionist was lying!
Still, she tugged on Su Ming's arm and whispered, "Since there aren't any other rooms, I don't mind sharing with you, and Tang San can take the other room."
Su Ming whispered back, "Xiao Wu, you're my sister! And we're not exactly kids anymore."
Xiao Wu replied casually, "So what? It's just one night. We can put something between us on the bed, or you can sleep on the couch!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's insistence, Su Ming had no reason to refuse. Otherwise, would he still be considered a man? After all, it was just one night, and deep down, he wasn't opposed to the idea.
"Fine, we'll take the two rooms. Please give us the keys," Su Ming said to the receptionist after paying the hefty fee—one gold soul coin for the night! But in Su Ming's past life, he had the impression that the hotel's décor, service, and amenities were top-notch.
Turning to Tang San, Su Ming said, "Let's go, Tang San. You'll take one room, and I'll share the other with Xiao Wu."
Tang San silently took the key, unable to object.
Suddenly, an unpleasant voice came from behind, "Excuse me, could you let me have one of your rooms?"
Su Ming thought to himself, Here we go—Dai Mubai has appeared.
The three of them turned around to see a man with two stunning beauties, both of whom were identical twins.
The man stood about 1.8 meters tall, with golden hair and striking heterochromatic eyes. This was none other than Dai Mubai!
With a woman on each arm, Dai Mubai swaggered over to them, saying in a flippant tone, "Hey, friends, my name is Dai Mubai. You three seem to be together, right? Why not share one room and let me have the other? After all, I've got these twins with me."
All three of them frowned at his suggestion, though their thoughts differed.
Su Ming couldn't help but think, This is classic Dai Mubai behavior. No wonder he's been called a scoundrel by fans in my past life. His attitude is so off-putting.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was mulling over the fact that this was the Dai Mubai her brother had written about in his journal. He was handsome, sure, but what was with this twin escort business? She couldn't understand how Zhu Zhuqing would ever forgive him and stay with him.
More importantly, she didn't want anyone messing with her precious time with Su Ming! Just when she was getting used to the idea of sharing a room, here came Tang San, further complicating things.
Tang San wasn't concerned with Dai Mubai's character. He was more focused on the potential opportunity to share a room with Xiao Wu. If Su Ming agreed to give up a room, he might finally get his chance.
Just as Tang San was about to speak, Xiao Wu cut him off. She wasn't about to let him have his way!
With her hands on her hips, she coldly snapped, "Who do you think you are? I, Xiao Wu, don't agree! What are you going to do about it?"
Dai Mubai's smile faded as he processed her words.
He was in a good mood after finding these twin beauties and had been looking forward to a fun night. How did things go south so fast?
The receptionist, meanwhile, was caught in the crossfire, inwardly cursing his earlier decision. If only he hadn't lied about the rooms! Now, no matter how this played out, his job—and possibly his life—was on the line. These weren't ordinary people; they were soul masters. And as a mere civilian, he knew better than to cross them.
