579: Lu Xueqi (56)

Su Han also felt it was inappropriate and said to the attendant, "Can you coordinate another room? Or even a slightly inferior room would be fine."

The attendant smiled apologetically, "Guest, there really aren't any left. The regular rooms are also full. Only these two superior rooms are left, and they were just vacated."

Su Han couldn't help but feel a headache.

Bi Yao, however, didn't care at all and smiled at Lu Xueqi, "Senior Sister Lu, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you. Or are you saying... you're afraid that if you stay with me, I, this demoness, will lead you astray?"

Lu Xueqi gave her a cold glance, ignoring her provocation, and said to Su Han, "I can go to Qingyun Other Courtyard right now."

Her meaning was that she didn't have to stay here.

Su Han shook his head, "Senior Sister Lu, your injuries have just healed, and it's not suitable for you to travel and exert yourself immediately. Moreover, going to the Other Courtyard now, if asked about your companions, it would be troublesome. How about..." He paused, seemingly having made up his mind, "I'll share a room with Miss Bi Yao, and Senior Sister Lu, you can have a room to yourself."

As soon as he said this, both Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao were stunned.

A blush instantly spread across Bi Yao's face, and she glared at Su Han reproachfully, "You... you wish! Who wants to share a room with you!"

Lu Xueqi's gaze also suddenly sharpened, staring at Su Han. Although she didn't speak, the chill in her eyes almost solidified.

Su Han knew he had misspoken and quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, both of you! My intention is that I can meditate and recuperate in the room, yielding the bed to Miss Bi Yao. When traveling, extraordinary situations require extraordinary measures. We can't let Senior Sister Lu go to the Other Courtyard while Miss Bi Yao and I stay here; if something unexpected happens, it would be difficult to respond. "

His explanation was reasonable and logical, considering Lu Xueqi's situation as well as safety and practical difficulties.

The chill in Lu Xueqi's eyes receded slightly, but she still pressed her lips together tightly, clearly very resistant to this arrangement.

Bi Yao also snorted, but her eyes flickered, wondering what she was thinking.

The attendant watched the strange combination of two females and one male from the side, muttering inwardly, but with a smile plastered on his face, "Three guests, what do you think of this..."

Su Han sighed and said to the attendant, "We'll take these two superior rooms then, adjacent ones will do."

After speaking, he directly paid the deposit, no longer giving the two females a chance to object.

The attendant took the money, beaming, "Alright! Heavenly Character Room Three and Four, adjacent superior rooms! Please follow me, three guests!"

Since things had come to this, Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao couldn't say anything more.

Lu Xueqi was expressionless, following the attendant upstairs first.

Bi Yao, however, leaned close to Su Han, lowering her voice with a hint of playfulness, "Hey, Su Han, you wouldn't be doing this on purpose, would you?"

Su Han gave a wry smile, too lazy to explain, and followed them upstairs.

The attendant led the two to two adjacent rooms on the third floor.

"If the three guests need anything, please don't hesitate to ask!" The attendant said, then withdrew.

Only the three of them were left in the corridor, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Su Han pushed open the door to Heavenly Character Room Three and said to Lu Xueqi, "Senior Sister Lu, you stay in this room, it's quieter."

Lu Xueqi glanced at him and Bi Yao, her gaze complex. In the end, she merely nodded faintly, pushed the door open, and entered, closing the door behind her.

Su Han looked at the closed door, rubbed his nose, and felt a headache coming on.

Bi Yao, however, had already pushed open the door to Heavenly Character Room Four and walked in, looking around, "Hmm, not bad, quite clean."

Su Han followed her into the room.

The room was indeed spacious and tidy, with a view of the small river flowing downstairs from the window, and a peaceful environment.

But there was only one bed.

Bi Yao walked to the bed and sat down, swinging her legs, looking at Su Han who stood somewhat awkwardly in the center of the room, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Hey, Great Master Su, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Su Han said helplessly, "Miss Bi Yao, please respect yourself. Tonight I can meditate, you rest peacefully."

Bi Yao tilted her head, looking at him, "Alright, alright, I know you're a gentleman. But, this young lady isn't unreasonable either." She stood up, walked to the center of the room, pointed at the ground, "How about this, let's draw a line. This side is yours, that side is mine. As for the bed... this young lady will reluctantly share half with you, since the bed is big enough."

Upon hearing this, Su Han almost choked on his own saliva, waving his hands repeatedly, "No, no! Absolutely not!"

Seeing his flustered appearance, Bi Yao laughed, shaking like a flower branch, "I'm just teasing you! Look how scared you are!" After laughing for a while, she said seriously, "Seriously, if you meditate, can't I also meditate? This trip to the Underworld has given me some insights, and I just need to Cultivate in seclusion to consolidate them. The bed is yours, I'll just find a meditation cushion."

Su Han was stunned, not expecting Bi Yao to say such a thing.

Bi Yao rolled her eyes at him, "What? Do you think we Disciples of the Sacred Cult only indulge in pleasure? When it comes to Cultivate, we work much harder than you so-called righteous sects!"

Su Han's heart stirred slightly, and his impression of Bi Yao changed a little again.

He nodded, "If that's the case, then thank you for your understanding, Miss Bi Yao. But you should still sleep in the bed, I'm used to meditating."

Bi Yao waved her hand, "Suit yourself. Anyway, I need to bathe and change first. These past few days in the cave have been unbearable! You're not allowed to peek!" Saying this, she walked behind the screen, where a bath barrel and hot water were indeed prepared.

Su Han shook his head, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked at the gurgling stream below, his mind gradually calming down.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The most urgent task was to gather information and search for clues about the reincarnation mirror fragment.

Behind him, there were rustling sounds of clothes being taken off and the splashing of water. Su Han kept his eyes down, his mind focused, and no longer paid attention.

After about half an hour, Bi Yao finished bathing and changed into a new water-green dress. Her hair, still damp, draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of delicate charm, like a lotus emerging from clear water.

"I'm done. Do you want to go wash up too?" Bi Yao asked, wiping her hair with a towel.

Su Han did feel dusty from travel, so he nodded, "Alright."

He called the attendant to change the water, then also took a simple bath and changed into a clean blue long gown.

When he emerged from behind the screen, Bi Yao's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Oh, I didn't expect you to look quite presentable after tidying up!"

Su Han was too lazy to bicker with her. He walked to a meditation cushion in the corner of the room, sat down cross-legged, and said, "I'll recuperate for a moment, Miss Bi Yao, please make yourself at home."

With that, he closed his eyes and began to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

Bi Yao watched him quickly enter a meditative state, faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations radiating from his body. She pouted, then also walked to the couch by the bed, sat down cross-legged, and began to Cultivate the Ghost King Sect's secret technique.

The room fell silent, with only their even breathing and the faint circulation of Spiritual Qi.

Unconsciously, the sun set, and night fell.

Su Han awoke from his meditation, feeling refreshed, the fatigue of days of travel completely gone.

He opened his eyes and found that Bi Yao had also just finished her Cultivation, blinking at him.

"Awake? Are you hungry? I'm starving!" Bi Yao said, rubbing her stomach. (End of this chapter)
