Chapter 89: Dai Mubai Sets His Sights on Gu Yuena
Aotian guessed that Tang San was likely upstairs in this very hotel.
He had no intention of meeting Tang San, so he led Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, and Zhu Zhuqing outside.
The four of them boarded the carriage and continued onward.
Xiao Wu pouted, her face full of displeasure. She had really liked that hotel, but they hadn't been able to stay there.
Gu Yuena comforted her, "Don't be sad. There will definitely be other hotels."
"That might be a bit difficult," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said.
Gu Yuena's and Xiao Wu's gazes immediately fell upon Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing explained, "Look outside. There are so many young men and women. It's enrollment season for the Soul Master academies. Soto City has several junior, intermediate, and advanced academies, so a large number of young people are rushing here to apply. Accommodations are definitely tight."
She lived in a large city like Star Luo City and had witnessed this scene before, so she could state her guess with confidence.
Xiao Wu immediately grew flustered and quickly patted the carriage door in front of her. "Aotian, hurry up."
Aotian had naturally heard Zhu Zhuqing's analysis and chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't let you sleep in the carriage."
The carriage turned a corner, and an ivory-white hotel appeared before them. This hotel was much larger than the previous Rose Hotel, with a more magnificent appearance.
Xiao Wu quickly said, "Aotian, this is the one. Let's go take a look."
"Alright." Aotian drove the carriage to the hotel entrance, and then he and the three girls got out.
"Do you have any rooms available?" he asked the attendant who came to take the horse.
"Yes, we do, sir," the attendant said enthusiastically, his gaze falling in shock on Gu Yuena and the other two girls. In all his years as an attendant, he had never seen such beautiful girls.
"Great!" Xiao Wu shouted.
The four of them walked into the hotel, and another attendant immediately came out to guide them.
As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, Aotian heard a slightly immature but very masculine voice. He looked toward the front desk and immediately saw a blond man standing there with his arms around two women, probably checking in.
From Aotian's group's angle, they could only see the blond man's handsome profile. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders, and a commanding presence naturally exuded from his body.
The man had a showily-dressed girl on each arm. The two girls were tall and had identical features—they were twin sisters. They looked to be about seventeen or eighteen, with a hint of charm in their innocent faces.
Their full bodies intentionally or unintentionally rubbed against the blond man. One of them said coquettishly, "Mubai, hurry up. I haven't seen you for two days. I missed you so much."
"Alright, alright, I will definitely satisfy you both today," the blond man laughed loudly.
Standing behind Aotian, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes went wide with disbelief, her body trembling slightly.
Seeing that the blond man was about to turn around, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly took out the black mask she had bought earlier and put it on.
An interested expression had already appeared on Aotian's face. Just as he thought a good show was about to start, he discovered that Zhu Zhuqing had chosen not to cause a scene.
"Since you don't want to be exposed, I'll give you a hand." With a slight movement of his finger, Aotian placed an invisible seal on Zhu Zhuqing, completely concealing her aura.
A Soul Master constantly emits their own aura. No matter how much they restrain it, other Soul Masters with stronger spiritual power can sense it, as can some Soul Masters with special sensory abilities.
Zhu Zhuqing's and Dai Mubai's Martial Souls were naturally able to form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and thus had a unique resonance with each other. As long as they were close, they could detect one another.
Aotian had just hidden Zhu Zhuqing's aura so that Dai Mubai couldn't sense it either.
Dai Mubai finally turned around. His features were handsome and resolute. Although he couldn't compare to Aotian, he could still be considered an exceptionally handsome man, especially with his pair of deep blue, heterochromic pupils that exuded an eerie, cold light.
Anyone who saw such a unique, handsome man would be captivated.
Dai Mubai looked a little impatient, about to lead the two girls in his arms toward the nearby stairs.
But he soon discovered that his two companions had stopped. He followed their gaze and immediately saw Aotian's group.
Dai Mubai's gaze was extremely sharp. It swept over them once before locking onto Gu Yuena.
Aotian, who was more handsome than him; the pure and lovely Xiao Wu; and Zhu Zhuqing, who wore a mask but possessed a voluptuous figure, were all automatically ignored.
This was because the girl standing in the middle was so beautiful she seemed divine.
As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had seen countless stunning women, but he had never seen a girl of such peerless beauty and unparalleled bearing.
Even the imperial concubines in his Father Emperor's harem, who possessed both beauty and grace, could not compare to this woman.
Dai Mubai's heart pounded fiercely. With just one look at this woman, a strong desire welled up within him.
I must have her!
He, Dai Mubai, was powerful, tall, and handsome. He was debonair and wealthy, and on top of that, he held the title of a Star Luo prince. In the past few years in Soto City, he had conquered countless women.
From mature women in their thirties to innocent girls in their teens, as long as he desired them, there was no one he couldn't obtain.
He was even called a "veteran of the flower fields" by his envious companions, a man who could pass through a thousand blossoms without a single petal clinging to him.
Now, at the moment of seeing Gu Yuena, he felt that all the women he had played with before were common and vulgar in comparison, not even worth a thousandth of her.
Dai Mubai released the two girls in his arms and walked toward Aotian's group.
A brilliant smile spread across his face as he showed off his most handsome side.
He walked straight past Aotian, who stood at the front, and came before Gu Yuena. Smiling, he performed the etiquette of a noble gentleman, bowing slightly and extending a hand to her. He said gently, "Hello, my name is Dai Mubai. May I have the pleasure of getting to know you?"
Several screams suddenly rang out in the hotel lobby. They came from female guests staying there. Seeing Dai Mubai's dashing move, they became unbearably excited.
Dai Mubai's smile was warm, and he exuded an extremely powerful confidence as he looked at Gu Yuena with burning eyes.
Gu Yuena's pretty face turned icy, and she snapped, "Get lost!"
Being flirted with by a human boy in front of Aotian, Gu Yuena was already furious. If they weren't in public, she would have already killed him.
Xiao Wu stood beside Gu Yuena, looking at Dai Mubai with an expression of disgust.
On Gu Yuena's other side, the masked Zhu Zhuqing's eyes revealed extremely complex emotions: anger, helplessness, confusion, sorrow, despair...
If Dai Mubai's gaze had fallen on Zhu Zhuqing, he might have been able to discern something from her eyes.
But unfortunately, he didn't even glance at her.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the tall, handsome man before her, and her heart felt like it was turning to ash.
Hearing Gu Yuena's sharp rebuke, Dai Mubai frowned slightly, finding it hard to believe.
Even if she rejected him, there was no need to be so harsh, right?
He had never encountered such a situation in all his years.
Just as he was about to try striking up a conversation again, intending to use his rich repertoire of flirting techniques on Gu Yuena, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder from behind.
"She told you to get lost. Are you deaf?"
