What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

The sea breeze, carrying a slightly damp and salty scent, brushed against the two figures, one in front and one behind.

Liu Bo gripped Wei Xiaoran's wrist and walked quickly, covering a considerable distance in a flash.

He tilted his head back slightly, his chest straight, and just felt the series of moves he had just made, from angrily confronting Li Xin to pulling the top female martial arts student from the capital and turning to leave.

He's absolutely stunning!

Isn't this a million times better than that idiot Qingshan who just smiles like a fool and gives out lamb skewers?

Could I be considered a hero saving a damsel in distress?

"Can you let me go now?"

Suddenly, Wei Xiaoran's voice came from behind him.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of ice water scooped from the waters of the bluefin whale, poured over Liu Bo's head.

"what!"

As if electrocuted, Liu Bo abruptly released his grip, bouncing back half a step.

"N-I'm sorry!"

Turning around, a gust of wind blew by, and Liu Bo's face suddenly turned red, like charcoal that had not yet been completely extinguished.

He let go of Wei Xiaoran's hand, wanting to rub it on his clothes, but then couldn't bear to.

He scratched the back of his head with his other hand, his eyes darting around, but he didn't dare to look Wei Xiaoran in the eye.

Wei Xiaoran stood still, slowly withdrew his hand, and gently rubbed his wrist, which had been gripped so tightly that it left a red mark, with his other hand.

Her cool gaze fell on Liu Bo, who was at a loss, and she shook her head slightly.

"fine."

There was no outburst of anger as expected, nor any cold reprimand; Wei Xiaoran's tone was as calm as the seawater not far away.

She lowered her hand, looked directly into Liu Bo's eyes, parted her red lips slightly, and spoke earnestly.

"I haven't had a chance to thank you for what happened before."

"Huh? Thank me?"

Wei Xiaoran nodded slightly, the scene from the battlefield of the heavens flashing through his mind.

"No matter what, you were the one who saved us from the Yellow Sand Ratmen."

"No, it's nothing!"

Remembering what happened in the Yellow Sand Ratman's Cave, Liu Bo quickly waved his hand.

"We are all human martial artists, this is what I should do!"

Despite Liu Bo's boasting to Qingshan that he was a seasoned expert in love, he was completely bewildered when facing Wei Xiaoran.

"You just said you came here specifically to see me?"

"Huh? Oh!"

Liu Bo slapped his forehead: "Right, right, right! It's all that brainless third-generation rich kid's fault, I almost forgot about the important matter!"

"Uh, Xiao Ran, I wasn't talking about you!!"

Halfway through his sentence, looking at Wei Xiaoran's face, Liu Bo suddenly realized that Wei Xiaoran in front of him was clearly also a legitimate third-generation member of a wealthy family.

You shut up, how did you get here so fast!

Liu Bo wanted to slap himself twice.

"What exactly happened?"

Wei Xiaoran clearly had no intention of taking it to heart.

"It's like this, Yu Rou, Sister Jing, and I are preparing to form a demon-hunting team."

"There are already five people in the team, and we'd like to invite you to join."

"Is that so..."

Wei Xiaoran lowered his head and pondered.

She would refuse an invitation from a regular team without hesitation.

However, she had a good impression of Luo Yurou, Rong Jing, and the others; they were very strong and their martial arts were quite unique.

Furthermore, thanks to the boost from her time cultivating, including the luxurious king-size bed in the resort, her cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds.

They were stuck at the crucial juncture of breaking through to the Nine Heavens Realm.

"Going out to gain some experience is a good option."

Wei Xiaoran thought to himself.

Although the food at the executive restaurant could allow her to break through her limits, she simply couldn't afford that much money.

Wei Xiaoran believed that with his talent, breaking through to the Nine Heavens Realm was only a matter of time.

"Okay, I agree to join."

Wei Xiaoran nodded slightly to Liu Bo and said.

"Very good!"

Liu Bo was overjoyed and clapped his hands, "I'll go tell everyone the good news right away!"

After saying that, he waved to Wei Xiaoran and ran away in a flash.

Wei Xiaoran stood there, his gaze following Liu Bo's departing figure into the distance. Only after Liu Bo disappeared from his sight did Wei Xiaoran turn his gaze away.

He touched his wrist; the red mark left by Liu Bo's grip had disappeared...

At the entrance of the luxurious cultivation villa, Luo Yurou, who was about to leave, bumped into Liu Bo, who was running back.

"Oh? You're back?"

"I heard from Qingshan that you even held hands, so I thought you weren't coming back to stay today."

Luo Yurou joked with a smile.

"Yu Rou, you've changed."

Liu Bo was speechless. "The Yu Rou I remember was a pure and innocent good girl."

"So? Did Wei Xiaoran agree?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo immediately straightened his back, placed one foot on the step, and reached out to smooth his somewhat disheveled hair.

"Of course, with Brother Bo on the case, what can't he handle?"

"But... Yu Rou, could you lend me some money?"

"Hmm? You're short of money?"

Luo Yurou asked curiously.

Although feeding the bluefin whales cost a lot, the expenses were eventually split among the group.

In addition, Liu Bo made a fortune reselling reels, so he shouldn't be short of money, right?

"Wei Xiaoran is stuck at the bottleneck of the Nine Heavens Realm. I think the breakthrough set meal at the executive restaurant is pretty good."

"Breakthrough packages below the Heavenly Sea Realm (including the Nine Heavens Realm) are uniformly priced at one hundred million."

"But even with our 20% discount, it still costs 80 million credits."

At this point, Liu Bo's face fell.

"I see."

Luo Yurou nodded knowingly.

"Including your sister Jing, the three of us have about the same amount of money, around five or six million each."

"There's still quite a bit of a difference."

At this moment, Qingshan and Bai Suhuang also came out of the villa.

"Brother Liu! Are you helping to raise money for the bride price?!"

Qingshan waved his thick arms from a great distance.

He glanced at Bai Suhuang beside him, his eyes darting around, and his usually muscular brain seemed to work for a moment.

Then, he reached for his storage device at his waist, pulled out his personal terminal, and moved closer to Liu Bo.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything more."

"This is the betrothal gift I prepared for Rongniu. It's not much, just over 30 million credits. You can use it for now!"

As he spoke, Qingshan kept glancing at Bai Suhuang's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

Qingshan thought to himself, "I've already said all that."

Does this newcomer not understand what it means?

Meanwhile, Bai Suhuang was taken aback when she saw Qingshan's gaze, then smiled faintly.

"If Brother Liu Bo needs money, I have some here."

Bai Suhuang clearly misunderstood, thinking that Qingshan was referring to him.

He pulled out his personal terminal. "I've been training on my own all along, so I don't have much savings. I have about 800,000 yuan. You can take it all if you need it."

Liu Bo looked at his teammates beside him, his eyes slightly red.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bo is so popular!

"Thanks."

"But it's not necessary."

Even if several people pooled their money together, they still couldn't afford the premium package.

"I'll try to think of a solution myself."

After saying this, Liu Bo cupped his hands in greeting to the group and then turned to leave.

Looking at Liu Bo's somewhat lonely figure, Luo Yurou asked with some confusion.

"What's wrong with him today?"

"That's not like him at all!"

Qingshan scratched his head, and the image of Li Xin appeared in his mind.

Maybe? Was he discouraged by the rich guy?

Qingshan said to himself.
