Ye Liangchen and the two girls arrived in the center of Tianshui City and bought a large amount of outdoor living supplies. Ye Liangchen even bought pots, pans, bowls, and some salt and seasonings. When traveling, it's important to eat and drink well.
"Are you going on a trip? You even bought these things?"
Shui Bing'er was speechless when she saw Ye Liangchen buy a pile of cooking utensils and grain, oil, and rice.
"Bing'er Jie, let me tell you, cooking outdoors is especially delicious."
Zhuqing helped tidy up the items and told Shui Bing'er about the joy of picnicking.
"Let's go! Let's set off!" Ye Liangchen put all the supplies into his spirit tool and called out to the two girls to depart.
"Xiao Chen, should we buy a carriage?" Shui Bing'er felt that for such a long journey, it would be better to ride in a carriage.
"Bing'er Jie, now Xiao Maomi also has flying skills, so why would we need a carriage? It's much faster to fly directly through the mountains!"
"Alright! Jie Jie will listen to your arrangements."
The trio spent some time leaving the urban area of Tianshui City, then headed directly towards the mountains.
"Swish, swish, swish…"
Three figures, like eagles, flew through the towering mountains, and the land receded behind them.
At dusk, the three arrived at Chihuo City, one of the Five Element Academies, intending to rest there for a day.
Chihuo City is a large city comparable to Tianshui City. This city has a large number of fire-attribute Spirit Masters, and its Chihuo Academy is well-known. The students it admits are all fire-attribute Spirit Masters, and it also follows an extreme teaching style.
The three walked into a Rose Hotel, ready to check in. Several waiters in the hotel lobby saw a handsome guy with two stunning beauties and all smiled, thinking this guy was really something.
"Manager, three most luxurious rooms, please."
Ye Liangchen walked to the counter, took out gold coins, and prepared to open three rooms.
"Sir, I'm sorry, there's only one room tonight."
The lobby manager was a man in his 30s. Seeing Ye Liangchen bring two beauties and actually ask for three rooms, he thought: Handsome guy, you brought two beauties to the Rose Hotel, how could we let you stay in three rooms? Don't we have any face?
So the lobby manager immediately took on the role of a matchmaker, creating opportunities for the three young people and contributing a small effort to the development of humanity.
"Manager, I feel like you're doing this on purpose. You don't want to earn money?"
Ye Liangchen felt that the service at this Rose Hotel was too bizarre. It seemed to be the same in every city; besides their normal work, they often acted as matchmakers, setting up young men and women.
"Sir, there really is only one room, but please rest assured, the most luxurious room is very large, with two suites and a living room. The three of you can definitely stay there comfortably."
The lobby manager said with a smile, firmly insisting there was only one room, thinking: Even if you are a Titled Douluo, I would still dare to say there's only one room.
"Alright! Just one room."
Shui Bing'er spoke up at this moment, directly telling the manager to open one room. Anyway, they were using fake names here, and these people didn't know them. Moreover, arriving in such an unfamiliar city, it was safer for the three of them to stay together.
"Okay, respected lady, here is your room card. Please keep it safe. I wish you a pleasant stay."
The manager handed the room card to Shui Bing'er with a grin, a doting smile on his face.
"Don't just stand there, let's go."
"Xiao Qing, keep up."
Shui Bing'er pulled Ye Liangchen's hand, called for Zhuqing to follow, and walked towards the top-floor luxury room.
Ye Liangchen's mind was a bit muddled at the moment. This girl, Shui Bing'er, was very unusual; she felt as if she had been possessed by Shui Yue'er.
After arriving at the top-floor luxury room, Ye Liangchen said to Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er Jie, that manager was doing it on purpose. We have money, there's no need to crowd into one room."
"Pfft…! Chen Ge, we all know."
Zhuqing chuckled from the side. Anyway, she had slept in a cave with this guy before, and nothing had happened.
"We've always lived together since we were little. Now that we're here, what are you afraid of? Is Jie Jie going to eat you?"
"In this unfamiliar city, the three of us need to stay together for safety, understand?"
Shui Bing'er reached out and rubbed Ye Liangchen's head, finding his bewildered expression amusing. She thought: I was so good to you when you were little, and now that you've grown up, you want to fly away? No way. If I don't keep a close eye on you, who knows when you'll be targeted by other women again.
"Alright! You call the shots. I'm going to take a bath. We'll go for dinner later."
"Two beauties, don't peek, okay!"
Ye Liangchen walked into the bathroom, preparing to take a hot bath. He was exhausted after flying all day. If it weren't for the Soul Power Pill he had to replenish their spirit power, they wouldn't have been able to reach Chihuo City in a single day.
"Stinky Didi, Jie Jie has seen your entire body countless times, what's there to see?"
Shui Bing'er saw this Xiao Jiahuo dare to say such a thing, so she directly retorted with overwhelming dominance.
"Thump…"
Ye Liangchen, who was filling the bathtub with hot water, was completely stunned by Shui Bing'er's words.
"Bing'er Jie, you're not playing fair, you're ambushing me. Quickly tell me, when did this happen?"
Ye Liangchen poked his head out of the bathroom door and asked with an incredulous look. When had this woman seen him bathe? It was too terrifying.
"Stinky Didi, hurry up and take your bath. What ambush? What's wrong with Jie Jie looking at you a few times?"
Shui Bing'er irritably pushed Ye Liangchen's head back into the bathroom and then closed the door. However, she was in a very good mood. This Xiao Jiahuo was so obediently subdued by her; it was fun just thinking about it.
Zhuqing looked at Shui Bing'er's domineering words, her small mouth agape in an "o" shape. This was too explosive!
"Bing'er Jie, you and Chen Ge couldn't possibly…"
Zhuqing's face was red, and she asked softly with a strange expression.
"Zhuqing Meimei, what are you thinking? When Xiao Chen's parents weren't around, he was only three months old. My mother and the others had to manage the academy, so my sister and I mostly took care of him. When he was two or three, we even helped him bathe!"
"So that's how it is. Bing'er Jie, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"Otherwise what? What else did you think? But it doesn't matter anyway, I'm going to marry Xiao Jiahuo in the future."
"Bing'er Jie, can you tell me about Chen Ge when he was little?"
"No problem. Let's go to the bathroom next door to take a bath, and I'll tell you slowly…"
Shui Bing'er pulled Xiao Maomi into another bathroom, bathing and whispering, occasionally letting out bursts of laughter.
…
The next day at noon, Ye Liangchen accompanied the two girls to stroll around and see Chihuo City, experiencing the local customs and traditions.
Just then, three young people appeared ahead. One of them was a woman of stunning beauty, with short red hair, a tall figure, and a red mini-skirt that perfectly showcased her fiery physique. Her long, slender legs would be perfect for pedaling a rickshaw.
Behind her followed two handsome young men. One also had short red hair, wore red clothes, and had a headband on his forehead. The other wore light blue clothes, had short grayish-white hair, and was chatting and laughing with the red-haired man, occasionally glancing at the red-haired woman in front.
These three were Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from Chihuo Academy, and Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy.
The Five Element Academies often arranged exchanges for their students. This time, Shenfeng Academy had sent a small team to Chihuo Academy for an exchange.
After Feng Xiaotian frequently visited Chihuo Academy, he was immediately captivated by Huo Wu. He launched a fierce pursuit, inviting her to go shopping. As a doting brother, Huo Wushuang naturally felt uneasy about his sister being alone with Feng Xiaotian, so he had to follow along, thus forming this unique scene.
"Ge! Look at those three people ahead."
At this moment, Huo Wu noticed two stunning women ahead, one on each side, holding a young man's arm, walking towards their trio. Moreover, the beauty of those two women was comparable to her own, and one of them, a busty girl, had such a captivating figure that Huo Wu felt inferior.
"Holy cow! This guy is something."
Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian looked ahead and were immediately stunned, thinking this guy was too amazing, actually able to capture two top-tier beauties at the same time.
"Hmph! Men are all no good."
Huo Wu saw her brother and Feng Xiaotian staring at the two beauties, which made her feel ignored, especially Feng Xiaotian, who had just said he wanted to pursue her, but was now staring at other beauties.
Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian had met many times now. Feng Xiaotian would soon become a devoted suitor, and he was also a genius with innate full spirit power. Her brother also thought Feng Xiaotian was good, and told her to try to get to know him. Huo Wu hadn't become arrogant because of the attention yet.
"Huo Wu Meimei, don't mind it! I'm just curious about them, nothing else. In my heart, Huo Wu Meimei is the most beautiful."
Seeing Huo Wu get angry, Feng Xiaotian immediately flattered her to stabilize the situation.
And at this moment, Ye Liangchen, Shui Bing'er, and Zhuqing also walked over from the opposite side, and seeing the three young people, they also curiously glanced at them a few times.
Ye Liangchen looked at the red-haired beauty in front of him. She was beautiful, had a fiery figure, and an arrogant expression on her face. She was also a goddess-level beauty.
"Hey! You, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman before?"
Huo Wu saw that the handsome guy opposite her already had two stunning beauties by his side, yet he still dared to look at her, which immediately annoyed her. Moreover, the three of them were showing off their affection in front of her, which was even more irritating.
"This beautiful lady, you've misunderstood. I wasn't looking at you; I was looking at the two handsome guys behind you."
"Beautiful lady, your temper is too fiery. It will scare people away."
Ye Liangchen was retorted by this red-haired beauty and thought, "Can't I even look? So arrogant?" So he immediately changed his strategy, stating that he was only looking at the two handsome guys, to see how she would react.
"Pfft…!"
Shui Bing'er and Zhuqing were amused by Ye Liangchen's words, while Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang were also stunned.
"You… you…!"
Huo Wu was so angry that her chest tightened after being retorted by Ye Liangchen, and she pointed at his nose.
"With us here, does he still need to look at you?"
Seeing Huo Wu pointing at Ye Liangchen's nose, Shui Bing'er was also very displeased with the other party's temper. She immediately started talking about her own Didi, "Who do you think you are?"
"Bing'er Jie, don't say anything more." Ye Liangchen immediately stopped Shui Bing'er. If this continued, the two sides might start fighting.
"You guys…" Being retorted by the other party repeatedly, Huo Wu was very angry, and red spirit power erupted from her body, as if she was about to explode.
"Alright! Meimei, don't be angry." Huo Wushuang stepped forward to comfort his sister and calm her down.
"Hey! Brother, why is your sister's temper so fiery? By the way, have you ever been beaten by your sister?" Ye Liangchen quietly asked Huo Wushuang.
"This brother, you're joking."
Huo Wushuang also knew that his sister was at fault first, so he couldn't say much.
"Handsome guy, what's your name? I'm Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy, nice to meet you."
"Huo Wushuang from Chihuo Academy, and that's my sister, Huo Wu."
Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang felt that this handsome guy was quite interesting, so they immediately came forward and introduced themselves.
Shui Bing'er and Zhuqing were stunned, not expecting to encounter students from Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy here.
"I didn't expect you two brothers to be students from the two great Element Academies, what a pleasure to meet you."
"My name is Long Chen."
Ye Liangchen used a fake name; anyway, the other party didn't know his true identity.
However, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang and these guys weren't bad; they had no major flaws. Perhaps there would be a chance to subdue these guys in the future.
"Feng Xiaotian of Shenfeng Academy, I've heard of you."
Shui Bing'er recalled at this moment that a senior from the previous Soul Master Competition had mentioned that Shenfeng Academy had a genius with innate full spirit power who was very strong and had also participated in the previous competition.
"This beautiful lady, I haven't seen you before." Feng Xiaotian immediately waved his hand, afraid that Huo Wu next to him would misunderstand.
"I am Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy, and this is my junior, Xiao Qing."
"I heard from my senior that you participated in the last Soul Master Competition."
Tianshui, Shenfeng, and Chihuo were the earliest three Element Cities, and their relationship was relatively good, so Shui Bing'er did not hide her identity.
"You are actually from Tianshui Academy?"
"Didn't they say Tianshui Academy doesn't accept males? Long Chen, how are you here?"
Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian were surprised that the other party was from Tianshui Academy; it was too unexpected.
"He's my boyfriend, not a student of Tianshui Academy."
Shui Bing'er took the initiative to help Ye Liangchen out of the situation, so that others wouldn't know the real situation.
"Hey! Shui Bing'er, if you're this guy's girlfriend, then what about this beautiful lady?" Huo Wu pointed at Zhuqing and asked curiously.
"I'm also his girlfriend."
Zhuqing stepped forward and hugged Ye Liangchen's arm, showing herself as his girlfriend, mainly to annoy Huo Wu. This woman immediately started talking about her Chen Ge, which was very annoying.
"Holy cow! Brother, you're too amazing."
Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang's heads buzzed. This guy named Long Chen was too fortunate.
"You two are both this guy's girlfriends? What's so good about him?"
"You two couldn't possibly have been tricked by him, could you?"
Huo Wu couldn't understand why these two stunning beauties would like such an ordinary young man.
"Huo Wu, you don't need to worry about that."
Shui Bing'er smiled, thinking, "I like Xiao Chen Didi, what does it matter to you? I haven't eaten your rice."
