The meal lasted from six until almost eight before it ended. Everyone, full and satisfied, got up to leave.
Everyone had high praise for tonight's beef hotpot.
Especially Meng Qianyu, who clamored for Su Yang to recreate it for her once they were back in Haicheng...
By now, it was fully dark outside. The streets were bustling with traffic, and under the night sky, Lincheng didn't feel much different from Haicheng.
Most provincial capital cities, aside from the top-tier megacities, are largely similar, with comparable entertainment options.
You only really feel a difference when you go to purely tourist-oriented cities like Ercheng or Licheng.
The group strolled along the crowded street to walk off their meal. Nearly every trendy guy and girl passing by would cast glances of envy their way.
Among Su Yang's group, aside from Liu Bo and Ji Bo who were slightly more ordinary-looking, the other eight were all standard-issue handsome guys and beautiful women.
Among the guys, there was a bit more variation. Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou mainly carried the looks department. Su Yang was naturally in a league of his own; if ranked by "combat power," he'd be T0.
Meng Wenzhou belonged to T0.5, Zhang Ziming and Chu Qiunan were T1, while Liu Bo and Ji Bo were T2.
As for the ladies... each one was T0. The differences between them were almost negligible, just a matter of different styles.
If one absolutely had to rank them, based purely on visual appeal and just looking at faces, Su Qingci, with her top score of 96, was still a tiny bit more beautiful.
After wandering around for a while, Ji Bo took out his phone and said, "Let's take a taxi. The place I booked is about two or three kilometers from here. Walking would take a bit of time."
"No taxi, no taxi~ We just arrived in a new city, we should walk around and see more! What's the fun in taking a taxi~" Meng Qianyu objected.
Tang Ziyun also nodded in agreement, "I agree. We're leaving early tomorrow morning anyway, and it's not too far. Let's just stroll a bit more~"
Seeing this, the others nodded in agreement.
"Alright then, let's walk~"
Along the way, Meng Qianyu and Su Qingci chattered away non-stop.
Arm in arm, they acted like little girls, finding everything novel and wanting to look and buy souvenirs.
Pan Ning and Tang Ziyun were much more reserved, quietly following the group.
The guys chatted as they walked.
Soon, following Ji Bo's lead, they arrived at a Thai-style traditional massage parlor in the city center.
Ji Bo had originally planned to book a comprehensive bathhouse, but everyone said it wasn't necessary.
They were just going for a simple foot wash and massage, not planning to eat, drink, or play at the venue, so there was no need for that kind of bathhouse.
Ji Bo went alone to the front desk to check in, while the rest waited in the lounge area.
Su Yang looked around the shop.
Overall, the environment was quite nice, the decor was very Thai-style, and it cost about 400 per person.
All the staff in the shop, regardless of gender, were uniformly dressed in Thai attire. At first glance, it really felt like you'd arrived in Thailand.
Soon, Ji Bo finished up, and everyone sat waiting in the lobby lounge.
A few minutes later, a server came over to ask each person about their massage preferences, habits, etc.
Then, with a polite smile, he turned and left.
Another few minutes passed, and several servers came to lead everyone into the massage rooms.
Since this time Ji Bo had bought a package deal on an app, everyone's massage program was the same, lasting about 90 minutes in total.
Su Yang walked at the back, following a round-faced girl into a private room.
He looked around. The room was clean and tidy, about 20 square meters.
It contained a massage bed about one and a half meters wide, a small sofa, and a bathroom.
To the right of the massage bed was a wooden screen, which formed a circle, behind which was a wooden tub for bathing.
Su Yang walked over and sat on the edge of the massage bed. The server smiled and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go arrange a therapist for you~"
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome~"
The server turned and left. Su Yang leaned back on the massage bed, picked up a bottle of water prepared on the nearby table, opened it, and took a sip.
Soon, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in~" Su Yang called out softly.
The door opened, and a therapist with her hair tied up, wearing a short skirt, and carrying a toolbox walked in.
She looked at Su Yang, placed the box to the side, put her hands together, bowed slightly, and smiled, "Sawasdee ka~"
"Uh... Sawasdee ka, Sawasdee ka."
"You... are from Siam?"
The therapist smiled awkwardly, "Sir, I'm Chinese~ Your accent sounds Japanese, doesn't it~"
"Oh, oh, haha, just joking~"
Su Yang took a closer look at the girl in front of him. She looked fairly average.
About 160 cm tall, with an oval face, fairly delicate features, and quite fair skin.
Mainly, her figure was okay. The legs under her short skirt looked very well-proportioned, a bit fleshy but not fat.
The therapist smiled, picked up the box she was carrying, placed it on a nearby table, and asked, "What's your surname, sir?"
"Su~"
"Okay, Mr. Su. Please wait another two minutes while I get ready."
Su Yang nodded, "What should I call you, miss?"
"Mr. Su, you can call me Little Jie~"
"Little Jie, right? Okay."
The therapist named Little Jie walked behind the screen and started running bath water. Soon, steam filled the room.
Su Yang tilted his head and thought, 'There's a bathing step too?'
Just as he was thinking this, Little Jie walked out from behind the screen and smiled, "Mr. Su, could you please come over here?"
"Sure." Su Yang got up and walked behind the screen to look at the wooden tub. It was now filled with steaming hot water.
The water was a milky white color, with seven or eight red rose petals floating on the surface.
Seeing this, Su Yang asked, "A milk and rose bath?"
"Yes, Mr. Su. Please undress first. I'll wait over here. Call me once you're in the tub~"
"Oh, oh, okay."
After Little Jie stepped away, Su Yang looked around the room, thinking, 'There aren't any cameras, are there?'
He carefully scanned the area but didn't notice anything unusual. Deciding not to overthink it, he quickly took off his clothes and stepped into the wooden tub.
"Whoa!! So damn hot~"
"Hiss." Su Yang shivered, endured the water temperature, and sat down.
Two seconds later, he turned his head and called out past the screen, "Okay~"
"Alright~"
As she spoke, Little Jie first walked to the door and dimmed the room lights a bit before stepping behind the screen.
She looked at Su Yang and smiled, "Mr. Su, is the water temperature okay?"
"A little on the hot side~"
"Then I'll add some cold water for you."
"No need, it's fine like this."
"Okay. Then, Mr. Su, you just sit comfortably. I'll start by massaging your head and shoulders."
"Okay~"
Little Jie said, walking to the side to briefly wash her hands, then came to the side of the tub to massage Su Yang's head.
Su Yang closed his eyes with a slight smile, his hands resting on the edge of the tub.
A faint, warm steam carrying the scent of milk and flowers continuously rose from the water's surface.
Little Jie's technique was also quite good. She gently pressed along the top of Su Yang's head, then moved to his cheeks, shoulders, and neck.
After driving all day, soaking in a bath and getting a massage after dinner was indeed very relaxing and stress-relieving~
[Ding, detecting that the host is currently feeling very comfortable and enjoying themselves. Reward: 2 million yuan.]
......
Over 90 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Su Yang got up, went into the bathroom for a quick shower, and changed back into his own clothes.
He then pushed open the private room door and walked out, just as the others were finishing up around the same time.
Su Yang looked at Pan Ning and asked, "Did you take a bath?"
Pan Ning shook her head. "No, I'm not used to bathing at massage places."
"That's fine too. You can take one back at the hotel then."
As he said this, he turned to the other girls and asked, "What about you three? Did you take a bath?"
All three of them also shook their heads.
Su Yang nodded and looked at Meng Wenzhou. "Did you?"
"Of course I did. Didn't you? It was quite nice~"
"Yeah, Brother Yang, having someone massage you while you're soaking is really comfortable."
Su Yang smiled faintly. "Indeed, guys and girls think differently~"
Everyone was quite satisfied with tonight's massage. Chatting away, they soon found themselves out on the street.
It was already 10:10 PM. The guys initially thought about escorting the girls back to the hotel first before heading out to play.
However, the girls all declined, saying they weren't kids and could just take a taxi back themselves.
After the four beauties had left, the guys pulled out cigarettes, lit them, exchanged glances, and grinned. "Let's go, guys~ Time for us to cut loose and have some real fun."
"Gogogo!!"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
