At this moment, Xie Bai slightly reduced the protection of the Imperial Crown, allowing her presence to become more apparent.

Looking at Xie Bai's innocent and somewhat naive expression, coupled with his exquisitely handsome features, the receptionist's heart was instantly touched.

She felt that her principles, which she had been upholding, had been cracked open.

"No... no problem."

The receptionist took a deep breath, quickly completed the check-in process, and handed Xie Bai a metal key tag engraved with the room number.

"The suite on the third floor, the one furthest inside, has a great view and is relatively quiet."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Xie Bai took the key and led the two little ones toward the stairs.

Only after the three figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs did the receptionist slowly sit back down in her chair, rubbing her temples in annoyance.

"Strange... What's wrong with me? People with such suspicious backgrounds should be sent away..."

She murmured to herself, but the adorable images of the three girls involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

"Is it because...they're just too beautiful?"

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind, and began to tidy up the slightly messy desk.

Just then, the hotel door was pushed open again.

With a gentle breeze, a new, even smaller figure appeared in the doorway.

She was a blonde loli who was probably less than 1.4 meters tall.

She wore a simple white and gold pleated dress, with a simple cape over it.

She stood quietly at the door, her figure even smaller than the three girls from before, yet she possessed an indescribable powerful aura.

"Wait, you're a sword..."

Before she could finish speaking, a gentle force appeared out of nowhere and lightly covered her mouth.

Shh, don't make a sound.

She spoke softly, her voice ethereal and melodious.

The speaker was none other than Atoris, who had been carefully disguised and had his Imperial Crown concealment effects adjusted.

At this moment, she made her presence felt and spoke to the receptionist.

"From now on, I will be secretly stationed at the Dark Outpost to deal with any possible emergencies. As the manager here, you should know what to do."

The receptionist immediately straightened up, her expression becoming extremely solemn, and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Sword... Sword of the Empire!"

She quickly retrieved an encrypted register and a keyplate of a different design, representing the highest level of security.

Atoris took the key, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping towards the stairs, a fleeting, almost imperceptible, complex emotion passing through the depths of his eyes before returning to calm.

……

"Hmm... Sister Xiaobai, why didn't we just sneak in like we do when we're shopping in the city?"

Jia Mi lay on the soft carpet of the suite, propping her chin up with her hand, and asked Xie Bai, who was wrapped in the blankets, with curiosity.

Little Jiami also came over, blinking her sapphire-like eyes in the same way.

"Yeah, wouldn't it be easier to sneak in? That lady looks like she's having a hard time."

Xie Bai peeked half her face out from under the covers, her rosy eyes appearing somewhat hazy with sleepiness.

"Hmm... sneaking in is not a good thing. We are legitimate guests."

Xie Bai was trying to persuade the two little ones, but as soon as she said it, she began to have doubts herself.

Yes, there was a more discreet and convenient way to enter the hotel, so why did I choose the normal check-in method?

She even subconsciously projected an innocent and cute image?

That feeling... is like a part of your body secretly anticipating contact with people, anticipating seeing their reaction of being amazed or charmed by your appearance?

Even if it's just a little bit.

"Could it be... because of lust?"

Xie Bai frowned slightly.

Ever since he refused Lust's request when he killed the Chaos Demigod, this guy's presence has been so low that it's almost on par with jealousy.

She had initially thought the other party had finally calmed down, but now it seems that this might not be the case.

Upon closer reflection, this subtle desire for self-expression or attention seems to have been brewing for some time.

The first vague sense of satisfaction I felt was when watching the official trailer and seeing players praising her cuteness in the comments and bullet screens.

The second instance was even more obvious. When she discovered that the sales of fan-made dolls based on herself far surpassed those of all game characters, she did feel a surge of...slight pride.

It seems that after obtaining the Void Godhood and leaping to a level where one no longer needs to worry about survival, some previously suppressed or ignored thoughts began to quietly sprout.

Unconsciously, I began to crave attention, but I didn't dare to be too ostentatious, only cautiously probing.

After all, the 99 charm points on the panel are not an exaggeration at all.

Even when her presence is suppressed to near zero, others can still vaguely sense that there is a cute little girl there.

Most of the time, she still needs to use the power of the void to forcibly interfere with other people's perception in order to ensure her freedom of appearance.

When she showed even the slightest bit of her presence, even just 1%, it was enough for the receptionist to subconsciously let her through.

However, when facing a chosen one with a special destiny, or an individual with a strong will and strength, this simple charm seems to be greatly diminished... right?

At least she didn't seem to have witnessed Thanatos being obsessed with her.

Unless… she actively uses that level 13 "cuteness" skill from her skill list…

"No, no! What nonsense am I thinking!"

Xie Bai buried her face in the soft, fluffy pillow, trying to dispel the thoughts that made her cheeks burn.

"Forget it... why think so much? I might as well get a good night's sleep..."

Faced with the ultimate comfort of the large bed, laziness once overpowered lust, allowing Xie Bai's mind to gradually calm down.

She skillfully wriggled a few times, completely wrapping herself in the warm, soft bedding, turning into a motionless white cocoon baby with a few strands of hair peeking out.

At some point, Xie Bai naturally began to attribute all of this to lust.

Seeing this, the two little ones exchanged a glance and tacitly softened their movements.

"Little White Sister seems to be going to sleep... Should we...?"

Gami's breathing was calm, and his sapphire-like eyes shone slightly.

"Let's sneak out and explore on our own while we have the chance!"

Little Jiami immediately chimed in, also lowering his voice, his tone filled with excitement.

"This time we need to find a place where there aren't so many people!"

"Where to?"

"How's the Heavenly Mountain? It looks very mysterious; there must be lots of fun things to do there!"

"Okay! It's settled then!"

After a brief agreement, the two little ones tiptoed to the door, gently turned the doorknob, and like two little blue cats, silently slipped out, carefully closing the door behind them.

Their goal was clear: first, get away from the hotel to the edge of Xie Bai's perception range, and then use their spatial powers to teleport directly to the vicinity of Tianshang Mountain.

Just as their figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs, a petite golden figure brushed past them, moving in the opposite direction and silently arriving at the door.

It was Atori who suppressed his own presence to the extreme.

Because their attention was entirely focused on Xie Bai, the two little ones did not notice Atoris in his hidden state.

At this moment, Atoris sensed Xie Bai's sleeping presence and stopped in his tracks.

"My lord... has already rested."

Atoris murmured to himself, a hint of tenderness flashing in his azure eyes.

"It doesn't seem appropriate to disturb you now..."

Thinking of this, she turned to look in the direction the two little ones had slipped away.

"Speaking of which, these two blue-haired girls seem to be quite important to our lord. Could they be in any danger if they sneak out like this?"

Or perhaps, while they secretly slipped out, she stayed behind to keep Xie Bai company?
