"Have you heard from Xiao Yu these past few months?" Qin Mengxue asked.
"No," Zhou Hong shook his head.
"She's too good at hiding."
"Let's not worry about her," Zhou Hong said helplessly.
"Congratulations," Qin Mengxue said with a smile after taking a sip of wine.
"Congratulations on what?"
"Having three beautiful fiancées. I saw news about you on the hotel TV."
"Heh," Zhou Hong chuckled speechlessly.
Qin Mengxue didn't pursue the topic further.
"I heard from Liu Hua that you've been very listless in your cultivation lately."
"I'm in too much pain to focus on cultivating."
"What realm are you at now? Liu Hua is already over level 50 of the Warrior realm," Zhou Hong asked with a sigh.
"I... I'm still at the same level," Qin Mengxue lowered her head, her expression somewhat ashamed.
"Still in the twenties?"
"Mhm."
"Tsk tsk, look how much time you've wasted. You'll be ruined if you continue like this."
"I want to try harder, but I have no energy every day. Now that I'm in Kyoto, I hope I can get my spirits up."
Zhou Hong pondered. Since she had a connection with Qin Mengxue and had come to Kyoto, it wouldn't be right not to make some arrangements for her. After all, he only knew a few people in his life on Earth.
"Qin Mengxue, since you're here in Kyoto, I should arrange something for you."
Qin Mengxue was slightly taken aback and quickly shook her head. "Don't misunderstand, I didn't come to you for this purpose."
"Heh, even if you came specifically to find me, it's fine. How about this, I have a friend named Liu Zhen Feixu. She's the young lady of a ninth-rate family and has established a dark organization in Kyoto called Dark Night Knights. They specialize in punishing bad people who bully ordinary citizens. I'll introduce you to her now, and you can follow her from now on." Su Dan Novel Network
"Ah!" Qin Mengxue was greatly shocked. She knew very well what a ninth-rate family in Kyoto meant. If it were in Jinzhou City, it would be an absolute colossus. Zhou Hong was actually introducing her to the daughter of a ninth-rate family.
"What? You don't want to?"
"No, no, it's just too unbelievable."
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll take you to see Liu Zhen Feixu, and you'll be following her from then on."
"Mhm, mhm." Qin Mengxue looked at Zhou Hong gratefully.
"Cheers." Zhou Hong raised his wine bottle and clinked it with Qin Mengxue.
And so, Zhou Hong and Qin Mengxue drank in the park until late into the night before they finally left.
During this time, Zhou Hong did not do anything improper with Qin Mengxue in the park.
Leaving the park, Zhou Hong checked the time. It was already two in the morning.
Zhou Hong thought it wouldn't be suitable to go home at this hour; it would definitely disturb Qiao Zhenhua and the others.
"Never mind, never mind," Zhou Hong sighed.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mengxue asked quickly.
"It's already two in the morning, so I won't go home. I'll take you back to your hotel, and then I'll get a room at your hotel to sleep. I have to take you to Liu Zhen Feixu tomorrow anyway."
"Mhm."
Zhou Hong immediately started the car and drove towards the hotel where Qin Mengxue was staying. There were very few cars on the road, and the hotel where Qin Mengxue was staying was also in a more remote area, as was the park.
Soon, they arrived at Qin Mengxue's hotel.
Zhou Hong accompanied Qin Mengxue into the hotel. Zhou Hong deliberately put on a mask and a hat, apparently having learned his lesson and being smarter now, in case they were photographed again.
"Hello, please book another room for me," Zhou Hong said to the front desk.
"I'm sorry, there are no more rooms. It's already past two in the morning, and we're fully booked," the front desk clerk replied.
Zhou Hong frowned, feeling speechless, but it was normal, as this was Kyoto.
Zhou Hong thought that since there were no rooms, he might as well stay at Qin Mengxue's room for the night.
"Qin Mengxue, I'll come to your room," Zhou Hong turned and said to Qin Mengxue.
"Oh!" Qin Mengxue nodded and lowered her head, blushing.
And so, Zhou Hong arrived at Qin Mengxue's room.
Qin Mengxue had been staying in this room for several days, so it was a bit messy. Zhou Hong immediately noticed a clean set of underwear placed on the bed.
Qin Mengxue quickly went to retrieve it, saying somewhat embarrassed, "I was just about to take a bath, and you came, so I put the clothes here...!"
"It's fine, I'll just make do for the night. If you want to take a bath, go ahead. I'll take a shower after you're done," Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"Why don't you go first?" Qin Mengxue said with a blushing face. It was the first time she was sharing a room with a man. Although she had shared a room with Zhou Hong before, Xiao Yu had been there then. But now, it was the same room, with only the two of them.
Qin Mengxue's heart was pounding. She didn't know if Zhou Hong's decision not to go home and to stay at the hotel with her had some other meaning.
Was she also going to end her maidenhood?
Zhou Hong immediately entered the hotel bathroom and turned on the faucet to shower.
After showering, Zhou Hong came out wrapped in a towel. He realized after showering that he had no clean clothes to change into. So, he couldn't possibly wear his wet clothes back, and could only come out wrapped in a towel.
Seeing Zhou Hong emerge wearing a towel, Qin Mengxue immediately turned her head away, her face flushed crimson.
"Sorry, I only realized after showering that I didn't have any pajamas," Zhou Hong said with a chuckle.
"Oh, oh." Qin Mengxue also remembered at this moment that if they had found a 24-hour supermarket on the way back, they could have bought some.
"Then how will you sleep tonight?" After recovering, Qin Mengxue quickly asked.
"I'll sleep in the towel, or if not, I'll sleep like this."
"Ah!" Qin Mengxue was startled, her face changing color.
"Haha, just think of me as a woman. I'm like this. Go take your bath quickly."
"Mhm, mhm." Qin Mengxue took her pajamas and quickly went into the bathroom.
Zhou Hong walked to the bedside, thought for a moment, then threw off the towel and slipped into the quilt.
More than ten minutes later, Qin Mengxue came out after her bath. She saw the towel on the floor and understood that Zhou Hong, who was in the quilt, was now completely naked.
Qin Mengxue was extremely nervous. She was staying in a room with a large bed, so they had to share the same bed.
"Finished bathing?" Zhou Hong smiled and asked as he looked at Qin Mengxue, who was fresh and clean.
"Yes."
"Hurry up and turn off the lights and go to sleep. It's late, and if we don't sleep now, it'll be morning." After saying this, Zhou Hong yawned, pulled the quilt over himself, and hid in the bedding.
Qin Mengxue hesitated for several minutes, and finally mustered up the courage. On the other side of the bed, she lifted a corner of the quilt and slowly lay down under it.
