Chapter 58. During their vacation, Lin and Xiao Guan...

The Dragon Fang team left the secret realm registration area, boarded a flying car in the parking lot, and headed straight for the largest six-star hot spring hotel in Tianjin.

This six-star hotel is named: [Jinquan Palace].

It's not a chain store; it's a unique store in Tianjin.

The entire hotel is composed of a series of Chinese-style courtyards of varying sizes, covering an area of ​​over 3,400 acres.

The interior is decorated in the style of an antique courtyard, with carvings, wooden beams, white walls, and black tiles visible everywhere...

The waiters were also dressed in flowing robes and ancient costumes.

The hotel is divided into several areas, each with different flowers and plants, and is equipped with specially customized alchemical magic circles. Guests entering the hotel can even follow the connecting corridors outside the hotel to see the beautiful flowers and plants of all four seasons.

Besides the scenery and food, this hotel is also famous for something else – its medicinal spring.

Each medicinal spring has a dedicated pharmacist who customizes different medicinal agents to be added to the hot spring, thereby achieving effects such as relieving fatigue, healing internal injuries, and enhancing physical fitness.

Of course, the price of staying at this hotel is also exceptionally expensive.

Basic accommodations start at tens of thousands of gold coins, mid-range accommodations start at hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and top-tier services start at millions of gold coins, with no upper limit.

This time, Xiao Weizhi booked a mid-range service at the top level.

The team consists of ten people (originally planned to be eleven, but Li Junxuan's girlfriend went to the secret realm, so they cleverly missed it). They booked for seven days, with an average cost of around five million gold coins per person. This is just the basic cost and does not include any additional expenses.

As soon as the Dragon Fang Squad parked their car in front of Jinquan Palace, several young waiters dressed in flowing dark gray robes lined up to greet them.

They stood respectfully in two rows, bowing in unison, their voices deep yet remarkably uniform: "Jinquan Palace, welcome to all our esteemed guests."

A waiter quickly took the car keys from Li Junxuan and took the car to the parking lot.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the two huge stone lions on either side of her, the pillars next to the main gate were carved and painted, and large and small red lanterns hung along the wall, making it look very solemn and grand, especially like the residence of ancient high-ranking officials and nobles.

She didn't even blink, her small mouth slightly open, her hand on Xiao Weizhi's arm, letting him lead her forward.

Apart from Xiao Weizhi, Chen Feng, and Cheng Cheng, the other companions all looked like they had never seen the world before, following behind the waiter who was leading the way to the small courtyard that had been reserved before entering the secret realm.

Xiao Weizhi reserved a small courtyard covering approximately 19 acres, with more than a dozen bedrooms, two living rooms, two dining rooms, and three gardens of different styles, as well as one large and two small gardens and three medicinal springs.

After the waiter left.

Wang Hao immediately dropped his aloof and unapproachable demeanor.

He quickly sat down on a red nanmu wood chair, his hand still touching the table next to him, and exclaimed, "Jinquan Palace truly lives up to its reputation as the third-ranked six-star hotel in the Dragon Kingdom. The magnificent decor and the red nanmu wood furniture are truly impressive."

Jiang Tao has disappeared and we don't know where he is wandering in the yard.

Li Junxuan, standing nearby, found a chaise lounge and lay down, leisurely reaching for grapes from a plate beside him. His words were tinged with regret: "My partner went to the secret realm. We missed it completely, what a pity."

Cheng Cheng crossed his arms and suggested with a smile, "Junxuan, why don't you bring your girlfriend here another time?"

Upon hearing this, Li Junxuan froze, then chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject: "These grapes are really delicious, Cheng Cheng, would you like some?"

Seeing that Li Junxuan was evasive and didn't respond directly, Cheng Cheng knew that his stingy nature had kicked in again.

There are two extreme cases in the Dragon Tooth team when it comes to money: Xiao Weizhi is extravagantly wealthy, and Li Junxuan is stingy and frugal.

Compared to Xiao Weizhi's extravagant spending, Li Junxuan is the type who avoids spending money if possible, but will grit his teeth and hold back when he absolutely has to.

Chen Yijin leaned against the window, his gaze slowly fixed on the flowers and plants growing on the windowsill, wondering in his mind if Xiao Weizhi would be willing to pay for them if he pulled them all out.

Xiao Weizhi put his arm around Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder and asked his teammate in a deep voice, "Shall we eat first, or rest first?"

"Let's eat!" they shouted in unison.*8

Except for Jiang Tao, who had disappeared somewhere, everyone wanted to try the most famous banquet at Jinquan Palace—[Jinquan Palace Night Banquet].

[Spring Palace Night Banquet: The most famous banquet in Jinquan Palace, featuring 98 dishes, all made with special monster meat, medicinal herbs, and fruits and vegetables with attribute points. Prepared by a master-level culinary master, a single meal can significantly enhance attribute points and nourish the body (one table is worth two million gold coins)]

The ensuing banquet provided the entire group with an experience of imperial service: top-notch cuisine, impeccable service, stunning song and dance performances, and an exquisite, classically styled dining environment…

Each person had a waiter next to them to help serve them food.

Without even speaking, just a glance is enough for the waiters to use serving chopsticks to place the dish onto their plates before the guests can even open their mouths.

Even the red-tailed rat and the treasure-hunting rat each had their own waiters to take care of their meals.

The entire Dragon Fang squad thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Just as the banquet was about to end, a beautiful woman dressed in a crimson robe, with a dignified demeanor, a curvaceous figure, and her hair styled in an exquisite updo, slowly emerged from behind the screen.

She placed her hands on her lower abdomen, stood in front of the huge round wooden table, and said in a gentle voice, "Guest, shall we begin preparing the medicinal spring now? It will take an hour to prepare."

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Weizhi, waiting for him to make a decision.

Xiao Weizhi nodded to the woman: "Let's get ready now. Will we be able to see the full moon tonight?"

The woman replied respectfully and gently, "Yes, sir. We will go and prepare the moon-viewing pool right away. Please wait a moment."

Lin Xiaoxiao, somewhat puzzled, leaned closer to Xiao Weizhi and asked softly, "What is the Moon Appreciation Pool?"

Xiao Wei gently placed his hand on her waist and explained in a soft voice, "It's the medicinal spring in this courtyard that's the best place to enjoy the beautiful moonlit scenery."

An hour to digest the food passed quickly.

In the girls' changing room—

Cheng Cheng, wearing a two-piece tight purple swimsuit, stroked her chin with her fingers, carefully observing Lin Xiaoxiao, and said with a mischievous smile: "Xiaoxiao, you are so slim where you should be and big where you should be. I really can't tell normally. Come on, let your older sister touch you and feel the texture."

Lin Xiaoxiao, dressed in a bright red one-piece swimsuit, blushed and hugged herself tightly, turning to avoid Cheng Cheng's outstretched hand: "Sister Cheng, please don't do this."

Cheng Cheng grinned, put his hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and pretended to be a lecherous rogue, lifting her chin with his index finger: "What's wrong with me?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked shy with reddened eyes, and glanced at Cheng Cheng with annoyance: "Does Brother Feng know about this?"

Cheng Cheng grinned, revealing a hearty smile: "I know, he's used to it."

Just as the two were playfully bickering, Huang Yuwei suddenly pulled open the curtain of the changing room and appeared wearing a black bikini.

"Wow!" Lin Xiaoxiao and Cheng Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.

All because Huang Yuwei's swimsuit perfectly showcased her advantages: a full bust, a slim waist, and shapely hips, paired with her bronze skin, making her incredibly sexy.

Huang Yuwei put one hand on her hip and raised the other hand in a fist, her face full of determination: "I will definitely win him over today."

From the moment Huang Yuwei joined the team, Lin Xiaoxiao and Cheng Cheng could feel Liu Huihui's attention and concern, but for some reason, the two remained at an impasse, and their relationship made no progress whatsoever.

Huang Yuwei, who has a rather impatient personality, is very anxious about this and wants to find a way to break through the stalemate in their relationship.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Cheng Cheng exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement: "Go for it, we'll give you a boost."

Then the three of them, dressed in robes, walked proudly and confidently toward the best and largest hot spring pool in the courtyard.

The pool occupies about half an acre in size, with smooth stones on the sides. The water in the hot spring has turned a dreamy pinkish-purple color because of the added medicinal herbs.

All the boys had arrived at the hot springs ahead of time and each found a comfortable spot to soak in.

Each person consciously chose a spot, which was a certain distance apart, and each person had a small floating tray in front of them.

On the tray were a small wine jug, a stack of pastries, and a bowl of sliced ​​fruit.

Xiao Weizhi wasn't wearing glasses; his soaking wet hair was swept back, revealing his handsome face and delicate features.

He smirked, sitting in the water, his chest muscles on display, and beckoned to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Come over here?"

Lin Xiaoxiao stood there, somewhat at a loss.

Cheng Cheng gently pushed her waist and whispered a reminder: "Xiaoxiao, hurry up and go. Don't forget, we're here to help Yuwei today."

Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her eyes narrowed as if she were going to war, and walked toward Xiao Weizhi's location.

She was by the hot spring pool, unbuttoning her yukata, intending to go into the water. But when she saw the prosthetic leg on her right leg, she looked around, wanting to find a place to sit down and remove it before going to soak in the pool.

Xiao Weizhi reached out and patted the edge of the pool next to him: "Sit here, I'll help you unload."

When Lin Xiaoxiao sat down at the edge of the pool and was about to reach out to unfasten the prosthetic limb, Xiao Weizhi turned around in the pool, quickly removed the prosthetic limb for her, and casually put it aside.

He stood up from the pool, stretched out his hands towards her, and wanted to lift her down into the hot spring: "Come on down."

Lin Xiaoxiao's face flushed, her gaze darted around, and she didn't dare to look down his neck at all. She stiffly stretched out her hands to him.

'Thump—'

Lin Xiaoxiao was carried into the pool by Xiao Weizhi and gently placed on the seat next to her.

After sitting down, Xiao Weizhi reached out and pulled the tray that had drifted a little away, then turned her head and asked gently, "Would you like something to drink?"

Lin Xiaoxiao sat upright, her gaze fixed on the surface of the hot spring water: "I don't want to drink it now."

Xiao Weizhi placed his right hand on the rock behind Lin Xiaoxiao, making a gesture of embracing her: "Then we'll drink later."

Just as they were talking, a wind mage stood in the designated spot and used the skill "Wind Slash" on the thick clouds in the sky.

The thick clouds were blown away, revealing a bright, full moon like a silver disc, which shone over the entire hot spring, accompanied by flowers falling from the trees nearby.

Then the wind blew in many tiny specks of light, which, combined with the petals fluttering in the air, made the whole courtyard look beautiful and dreamlike under the night sky.

Just as everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery, two mages who were setting up the scene by using their skills in a hidden corner seemed to have received some information. They hurriedly lifted their robes and left the courtyard with light movements.

Lin Xiaoxiao was originally admiring Meiyue intently, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that Xiao Weizhi kept turning his head to look at her, and she asked somewhat shyly, "Is there something strange about me?"

Xiao Weizhi gently shook her head, slowly bent down to get closer, her eyes so tender they seemed to drip with water: "There's nothing strange about you, you're beautiful."

Their breaths mingled as they drew closer and closer, their red lips about to touch.

The noise from next door interrupted their next action.

Wang Hao stood up in the hot spring with his hands on his hips and shouted, "Hurry up, hot springs and drinking go perfectly together!"

Chen Yijin nodded in agreement: "Very good suggestion."

Li Junxuan, with his arms outstretched and resting on the edge of the rock behind him, leaned against the hot spring pool, half-lying down: "Wang Hao, with your alcohol tolerance, you still dare to ask for drinks?"

Wang Hao glanced at Li Junxuan with annoyance: "Brother Xuan, you talk as if you can hold your liquor really well. Brother Hui, are you going to drink or not?"

Liu Huihui remained expressionless, staring straight ahead with her back straight and hands resting on her lap, her movements restrained yet formal: "Okay."

Sitting next to Liu Huihui, Huang Yuwei crossed her arms and looked helpless. This man didn't even want to look at her. Would things really go smoothly tonight?

As they talked about drinking, Jiang Tao silently sank a little deeper into the hot spring.

As an assassin, he hasn't drunk much since awakening his powers, and his alcohol tolerance is indeed quite low (very poor).

All professional assassins need to use throwing knives, meteor darts, and other concealed weapons, which requires a high degree of dexterity in the fingers, and alcohol can affect sensitivity.

In a team, if you see someone who doesn't drink, there's a high probability that person is an assassin.

Lin Xiaoxiao blushed, gently moved her body backward, and reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear on the right side of her cheek: "Thank you, you're handsome too."

Xiao Weizhi's eyes darkened, and he glanced at Wang Hao, who was talking smugly not far away, and silently made a mental note of it.

He then casually sat back down, a faint smile on his lips, as if he were thoroughly enjoying his relaxing time in the hot spring.

The idea of ​​drinking while soaking in hot springs was decided in a few words between us.

After confirming the details, Xiao Weizhi contacted the housekeeper of the courtyard and asked them to send some wine.

After the waiter brought the drinks, the whole group raised their glasses in the moonlit hot spring, chatting and laughing about the future, creating a harmonious and wonderful atmosphere.

While waiting to finish soaking in the hot spring and prepare to return to the room.

Everyone was slightly tipsy, and even Jiang Tao, who had been desperately trying to avoid drinking, was caught and forced to drink a few glasses of wine.

After exchanging greetings, the friends dispersed and went back to their respective rooms.

Li Junxuan escorted the drunken Wang Hao home; Chen Yijin carried the limp Jiang Tao on his back; Cheng Cheng, in high spirits, skipped back hand in hand with Chen Feng; Huang Yuwei silently followed behind Liu Huihui, leaving in the same direction.

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi remained in the huge hot spring pool.

Lin Xiaoxiao's body was flushed, and she swayed as she stood up, holding onto the edge of the hot spring. She reached out to grab the prosthetic limb that was placed to the side.

Xiao Weizhi, who had just stood up from the water, gently grabbed his wrist, swept him into her arms, and strode ashore.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a momentary sense of weightlessness and reflexively wrapped her arms around Xiao Weizhi's neck.

She swung her left leg and asked, slightly drunk, "Aren't you going to use a prosthetic leg?"

Xiao Weizhi held her in his arms, walking slowly along the stone path, and replied gently, "Someone will bring her back tomorrow."

Upon hearing that her prosthetic limb wouldn't be lost, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately calmed down.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and neck, rested her head on his shoulder, felt the wet skin against his skin, and felt his heart pounding. Her mind was dizzy, as if she were getting even more drunk.

Water droplets slid off them and dripped all the way down the path on their way back.

After sending Lin Xiaoxiao back to her room, Xiao Weizhi, who was about to leave, originally just wanted a goodnight kiss.

As their lips met, their body temperature gradually rose. Perhaps it was the beauty of the night, the overly intimate atmosphere, or perhaps the tipsiness had clouded their judgment...

Everything that followed followed naturally and logically.

Perhaps because it had overheard some unspeakable secret, the high, full moon in the sky was once again covered by thick clouds.

In the following days, apart from the first two days when everyone was busy with their own things.

Over the next four days, the group, with a leisurely attitude, toured the entire city of Tianjin.

First, we visited various history museums, then we tried the famous snacks on Tianjin's famous snack streets, and went to the most famous Taobao market in the area... Finally, we took a stroll around a little-known area outside Tianjin.

The whole team boarded the flying car and embarked on their journey back to the capital.

Just as the flying car drove out of Tianjin, a red flying car brushed past Longya's flying car.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was dozing off in her chair, was startled awake and sat up straight, still a little dazed.

She didn't notice that the Mission 3 notification flashed for 1.5 seconds as the flying car passed by.

Xiao Weizhi took a pillow from beside his seat, placed it behind Lin Xiaoxiao's waist, and then grabbed the red tail in her arms by the scruff of its neck and threw it off the chair.

He leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately covered his mouth with her hand, and like a thief, she looked around to make sure that her friends in the car were not looking in their direction before she breathed a sigh of relief.

She glared at Xiao Weizhi, annoyed. Whose fault was this? She said she was going back the next day, but no, and now…

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't notice that Cheng Cheng and Huang Yuwei in the front and back seats secretly exchanged a glance, and the curves of their lips were extremely similar.

She lowered her voice and warned, "Xiao Weizhi, from now on, shut up."

How come I never noticed this person before? He's so... reserved yet talkative.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Weizhi helplessly pushed up his glasses that had slipped off his nose, sat back down, and continued looking at the documents.

The car sped along, and after a day, it finally returned to the capital at around 10 p.m.
