The fire that Su Xiyan had ignited in Chen Shuo earlier had now been suppressed.
In front of Su Xiyan's elders, it was better to consider Su Xiyan's feelings! After all, she was a young woman bringing a boyfriend home for the first time. If they shamelessly slept in the same room, people would definitely gossip behind their backs.
Moreover, some things didn't need to be rushed. There was plenty of time ahead.
Of course, the most important reason was that Chen Shuo had something very important to do tonight, and he needed to avoid Su Xiyan.
So, in response to the inquiries from Su Xiyan and her aunt Su Meiyu, Chen Shuo answered against his true feelings: "Let's get two rooms."
Su Meiyu's eyes betrayed her surprise, but she calmly instructed the hotel to prepare two rooms.
Su Xiyan glared at Chen Shuo but didn't reveal her emotions in front of the elders. Was she supposed to tell them she insisted on sharing a room with Chen Shuo?
Su Meiyu handed a room key to each of them: "The rooms are ready! You've been driving for hours, so get some rest early. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Chen Shuo asked, "Su Xiyan, which room do you want?"
Su Xiyan ignored him completely, took the key from Aunt Su Meiyu, and walked towards the elevator without looking back.
She was angry already?
Chen Shuo was puzzled.
Su Meiyu patted Chen Shuo's shoulder: "Go comfort her quickly. Our Xiyan has a straightforward personality; she'll be fine after some coaxing."
Chen Shuo replied very politely: "Alright, thank you for the advice, Aunt."
With that, Chen Shuo also walked towards the elevator.
When he arrived, Su Xiyan had just entered the elevator. Seeing Chen Shuo approach, Su Xiyan became even more furious and frantically pressed the "close door" button.
Chen Shuo managed to squeeze in just before the doors closed.
Su Xiyan kept a cold face, ignoring him.
Chen Shuo offered his room key to Su Xiyan: "My room is at the end, it's quieter. Why don't we switch..."
Before he could finish, Su Xiyan turned her back to him, not even glancing at Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo felt rebuffed and stopped trying to engage Su Xiyan.
He actually didn't understand why Su Xiyan was so angry. Do girls really not need a reason to be upset?
Chen Shuo had already tried to talk to Su Xiyan, but she ignored him and wouldn't even look at him kindly.
It suited him just fine! Tonight, no one would drag him out of bed anymore!
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan's rooms were right next to each other, separated only by a wall.
Su Xiyan walked quickly in her high heels, staying ahead of Chen Shuo.
When Chen Shuo reached his door, Su Xiyan slammed her door shut with a bang.
Chen Shuo: "..."
Quite a temper, huh?
After entering his own room, Chen Shuo also closed the door.
As expected of a super luxurious five-star resort hotel, opening the window revealed a view of green mountains and clear waters. The scenery and air quality were incomparable to Su City.
After driving for several hours, he was indeed tired.
Chen Shuo freshened up, changed his clothes, and lay down on the comfortable bed for a sweet nap.
He only got up when there was a knock on the door.
They had a simple dinner at the hotel that evening. The formal meeting with Su's relatives for lunch was scheduled for tomorrow.
The food arranged by Aunt Su Meiyu suited Chen Shuo's taste perfectly.
During the meal, he didn't even look up once at Su Xiyan sitting across the round table.
Aunt Su Meiyu also noticed the tension between the two but wasn't sure about how young people dated these days, so she didn't say much.
After dinner, Su Meiyu suggested: "The scenery nearby is quite nice, and there's a light show in the scenic area tonight. Why don't we go for a walk together?"
Su Xiyan remained silent, seemingly waiting for someone else's response.
Chen Shuo stretched and yawned: "Aunt, I'll pass! I'm really tired from driving."
Su Meiyu didn't insist: "Long-distance driving is indeed tiring. You should go rest early then! We have the wedding rehearsal tomorrow morning!"
"You two are the best man and bridesmaid, so don't be late!"
As expected of a wealthy person's wedding, they even had a rehearsal?
Chen Shuo agreed and went upstairs.
Su Xiyan watched Chen Shuo's retreating figure, wanting to say something but holding back. Her proud heart wouldn't allow her to approach Chen Shuo first; he was just too infuriating!
Su Meiyu, sitting nearby, had already seen through everything.
She teased Su Xiyan: "I never thought our family's most beautiful Xiyan would get upset over a boy. It's quite rare!"
Su Xiyan glanced in the direction Chen Shuo had gone and sighed: "Aunt, it's all Chen Shuo's fault! He made me angry!"
Su Meiyu: "I think he treats you quite well! Your father also speaks highly of him. Besides, I didn't see how he made you angry."
Su Xiyan hesitated: "Aunt, I... Never mind. Thank you for your concern, I'll go upstairs to rest too. Goodnight, Aunt!"
Actually, Su Xiyan had trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places.
She needed a familiar presence to sleep well outside of her home.
She had thought about sharing a room with Chen Shuo, even if it was just a suite with twin beds. As long as she was with Chen Shuo, it would be fine.
She never expected Chen Shuo to have no intention of sharing a room with her at all. He even actively suggested two separate rooms!
It was too much! Could it be that Chen Shuo's usual attentiveness and consideration were all an act?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
That night, a shadowy figure left the hotel room under the cover of darkness.
It was Chen Shuo, who had changed into a black hoodie.
On the way here, he had sensed a car following them.
He didn't think much of it at the time, since there was only one highway from Su City to Yu Hua City. It could have been a coincidence.
However, after arriving at the hotel, Chen Shuo saw that suspicious car again in the parking lot.
The car was parked in the employee parking area.
This was a resort hotel in Yu Hua City. Surely no employee would commute hundreds of kilometers from Su City to work here?
So, the people in that car were definitely up to something!
Taking advantage of the night, Chen Shuo went to the hotel's underground parking lot. Sure enough, the car was still there!
Through the car window, Chen Shuo saw an A4 paper on the seat. It was a list of all the guests attending the wedding, densely printed to fill the entire page.
More importantly, the list clearly showed each person's Demon Hunter rank! Those with high ranks were even highlighted with a marker.
Chen Shuo's eyebrows raised slightly. It seemed the people in this car were not ordinary folks!
The wedding in two days might not go smoothly!
It wasn't wise to startle them now. There was still a whole day tomorrow. Chen Shuo decided to use tomorrow to figure things out first.
Returning to the floor with the guest rooms, Chen Shuo took out his key card, opened the door with a beep, and entered.
The room was dark, but Chen Shuo clearly saw an extra person on the bed!
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...

o a martial world and obtained a system that allowed him to draw one entry per year. Unfortunately, all he drew were useless white-tier entries. The probability for high-quality entries was extremely low, with the highest-tier mythic entry having a mere 0.001% chance! To increase the probability, he had to improve his martial realm, but he lacked the innate talent for cultivation. At the age of eighteen, Chen Yi fell into the hands of a gang and was forced into hard labor. Just as his life seemed destined for a bleak end, on his 18th entry draw, he actually pulled a mythic entry—Simulator! In the simulation, he could also draw one entry every year that passed, and upon ending the simulation, he would inherit all entries and his martial realm! In his first simulation, Chen Yi struggled desperately just to survive, knowing that living one more year meant one more entry draw! Finally, with hair turned white, he drew the entry he had longed for—Low-Grade Innate Talent! "Hahaha! Don't bully the old and poor! Time to cultivate and inherit my cultivation base!" ... From then on, Chen Yi continuously simulated and drew entries, his martial realm soaring higher and higher! Epic, legendary, and even mythic entries were gathered into his collection one after another! "What demon race or devil race? What dark turmoil? I don't know anything about that. They just charged at me screaming 'How can you possibly ascend to immortality?!' and got stuck to my fists, unable to be shaken off. Blind spots, speed bumps... go talk to my simulator. We're all struggling to survive out here. I'm trying so hard, so how are they still alive?"
