58: Overt Conspiracy, Three Strategies: Upper, Middle and Lower

Having rushed here covered in dust, they didn't even have time to rest.

Upon entering Soto City, Su Ye found a high-end hotel, planning to treat himself well.

"Guest, may I ask if you are...?"

In the bright hotel lobby, seeing Su Ye with two beautiful women, the approaching waitress's eyes held a hint of ambiguity.

"Bring me one of everything good the hotel has, especially the meat dishes. Just make it, money is no object!"

Saying this, Su Ye pointed grandly at Dugu Bo, who was following behind like a subordinate, "Do you know this guy? The continent's famous Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!"

"It's impossible for him not to pay, but I have to remind you, if the service isn't good, he might just poison and destroy this hotel!"

As he spoke, Su Ye also gave Dugu Bo a confirming look – when you're out and about, your identity is still the most useful.

Title... Title Douluo??

The entire hotel fell silent, as if a pause button had been pressed.

Almost everyone's gaze turned towards them, filled with shock, horror, and fear.

Those who could stay here were more or less Soul Masters or people of influence, and they had more or less heard of the name Poison Douluo.

The crowd stared blankly, not daring to breathe too heavily for a moment.

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched stiffly, he let out a cold snort, and strode upstairs, as if someone owed him a hundred thousand year soul bone.

"Alright, alright~"

The waitress quickly recovered, forcing herself to chase after Dugu Bo despite her trembling legs, and the lobby manager also hurried over.

"Honored guest, I will lead you to the supreme suite now."

Dugu Bo gave a faint 'mn'. He hated trouble the most and naturally didn't want to get overly entangled in this matter.

"Hey, why did you deliberately provoke him?"

"The Poison Douluo is eccentric and extreme, very difficult to get along with. Aren't you afraid he'll just turn hostile?"

It was Ning Rongrong who spoke.

Her eyes were cautious, and she deliberately lowered her voice, appearing extremely wary of Dugu Bo.

"You're really timid!"

Su Ye glanced sideways at Ning Rongrong, feeling very disappointed, "For shame, you're the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, why don't you dare fight him?"

"I..." Hearing this, Ning Rongrong almost choked and had a heart attack.

Is that something a person would say?

Asking her, a Soul Grandmaster, to provoke a Title Douluo?

Even her father Ning Fengzhi had to give this guy some face, how could she have any say in this?!

Ning Rongrong glared at Su Ye irritably. It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one involved.

Is that all?

And you call yourself a little devil girl~

Su Ye shrugged and walked forward. Against a stubborn and ruthless character like Dugu Bo, the more assertive you are, the safer it is.

Furthermore.

He, Su Ye, never holds grudges!

Looking at Su Ye's back, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered, her small face showing seriousness. After thinking, she still didn't speak.

She wasn't sure if Su Ye was bluffing or truly capable. Asking impulsively, she was afraid of attracting Dugu Bo's attention.

"It should be fine."

This guy could even give her the 《herb manual》, he should have other methods, Zhu Zhuqing comforted herself like this.

"Let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing led Ning Rongrong and followed.

Led by the lobby manager, Su Ye and his group arrived at the suite.

Gold and jade as lining, mink fur covering the floor, its luxury and exquisite level were no less than the suite in Baojian City, perhaps even more so.

"Get out!"

Dugu Bo snarled at the lobby manager, but anyone with discerning ears could tell the tone was directed at Su Ye.

"Alright, alright." The lobby manager felt as if he had been granted amnesty, wishing he had more legs, and quickly motioned for the waitstaff not to stand around here.

Su Ye reminded him about serving the dishes, and the lobby manager agreed repeatedly. With a faint click, the suite door was gently closed.

The entire suite was exceptionally quiet, leaving only Su Ye and the five of them including Dugu Bo.

"Mumble mumble——"

The sound seemed like that of a little mouse.

Inside the backpack, sensing that the danger had completely disappeared, Jin Bao finally nudged and poked its little head out.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you."

Seeing Jin Bao's frightened look, Su Ye smiled knowingly and quickly took it out of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear backpack.

Noticing so many people around, and all of them unfamiliar faces, Jin Bao's eyes showed fear, it retracted its neck and didn't dare to move randomly, letting Su Ye pet it.

"Is this the pet you're raising?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. She also had no resistance to the adorable Jin Bao.

"Sort of."

Su Ye nodded and replied, "I picked it up in the Star Dou Great Forest. It's just very timid; it gets scared when there are too many people."

Saying this, he handed a Jin Bao to Zhu Zhuqing, who quickly took it.

Jin Bao was a bit shy at first, but seeing Su Ye's encouraging and reassuring look...

And it also sensed that its master and Zhu Zhuqing were unusually close, not bad people, so it relaxed and snuggled in her arms.

Its fluffy golden fur was mixed with a few reddish-gold stripes. On its round, adorable head, its two ruby eyes sparkled, revealing an extraordinary and mystical charm.

Especially on its pink little pouty lips, two small milk teeth were slightly visible, making it utterly harmless.

"Mmm~ So cute~"

Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled, feeling a bit envious. At some point, a pigeon egg-sized ruby appeared in her hand, which she was gently shaking and teasing it with.

"Hee——"

Its fate was immediately sealed. It loved beautiful objects, especially gemstones. The Jin Bao in Su Ye's hand immediately pounced over.

After carrying it back, it plunged into the backpack, like a goose building a nest, and only came out after a while.

Then, it bowed down under someone's gemstone skirt, rolling and playing on the sofa full of gemstones.

"Indeed, it's not timid, it's just that the money wasn't enough..."

Su Ye's mouth twitched. He had completely seen through Jin Bao's nature.

Unable to contain himself, Dugu Bo pulled at his stiffening mouth, speaking with stern authority:

"Kid, it's time we talked about the real business!?"

He turned his head.

He saw Dugu Bo standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looking sideways, his eyes containing a hint of coldness.

"Look at you~"

"If you were so anxious, you should have said so earlier!"

Giving Dugu Bo a dismissive roll of his eyes, Su Ye walked over while stretching his arms, preparing seriously to do something big.

"You're a senior after all. I originally thought you would wait until we had three rounds of drinks and five courses... wait until you've entertained us well, then talk about this matter properly."

"Just standing there silently, looking deep and melancholic, anyone who didn't know would think you weren't urgent about this matter at all."

Dugu Bo didn't speak, just stared blankly at Su Ye with dead fish eyes, like the calm before a volcanic eruption.

"Come with me!" Knowing when to stop, Su Ye didn't continue to provoke Dugu Bo, and led the grandfather and granddaughter to the balcony.

The sky was clear and the air fresh. The azure sky was like a vast sea, with white clouds drifting lazily, incredibly quiet.

Su Ye also got straight to the point, "Senior said earlier that you were willing to give everything. I wonder if those words were true or false?"

"Are you questioning this old man?" Dugu Bo's eyes widened in anger, his voice chilling to the bone. His patience had reached its limit.

"Not at all."

"It's just that there are three methods for detoxification: upper, middle, and lower. The costs are naturally different."

Su Ye spoke calmly, a rather thoughtful smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
