Chapter 47: The Adult World is Too Filthy
Xu Zheng’s character in “Lost in Hong Kong” was a realistic portrayal: balding, pot-bellied, wearing swim trunks.
But Xu Zheng was way more handsome than these guys I was seeing!
I really didn’t want to soak with a bunch of fat pigs, especially when the women with them were all sexy and beautiful, with big breasts, flowing hair, and long legs. As a single female dog, I felt indignant for the single male dogs.
Whoosh, another uncle took off his bathrobe. Oh my god! He was wearing a thong!
Uncle! I’m too embarrassed to look even if you’re not embarrassed to wear it! Could you consider the feelings of passersby?
With your potbelly and sagging butt, to put it crudely, your belly is almost drooping over your little bird. How can you wear such sexy underwear?!
As soon as the uncle got into the pool, a bikini-clad beauty followed.
“Mr. Cao~~~ Why didn’t you wait for us~~~”
Too filthy! Too filthy!!
I didn’t want to soak anymore. I felt like I would catch some weird disease.
“Cough, there are a lot of beautiful women here…” I said stiffly. “I think I’ll…go back…”
“What’s wrong? There are many types of hot springs here. Soaking in them at night is very enjoyable.” Li Chao enthusiastically introduced them. I looked at the creepy uncles in the pool. “I think I’ll pass.”
He also glanced at the uncles. “I understand. There’s a women-only section.”
“Really?!” Then there was no problem.
“Follow me.” He led the way.
There were indeed many pools here: health preservation, beauty, petal baths, some under pavilions. Some people were even playing mahjong in the pools!
Mahjong was truly a national treasure. In TV shows, hot springs were romantic places. In China, well, it became rustic.
As we walked, I heard laughter. I looked to the side and saw a row of bamboo fences.
“That’s the VIP hot spring. Others can’t enter.” Li Chao explained. I looked inside and saw the handsome guy through the gaps in the fence!
And then, I saw…beautiful women…beside the handsome guy…
Suddenly, I felt disillusioned.
The adult world was too filthy!
The handsome guy was kissing a beautiful woman.
Wait, the wolf demon was a Yao, so he must be handsome, and he liked sexy women. I hadn’t seen any particularly handsome men along the way, only this handsome guy.
Just then, he suddenly looked up, as if enjoying something. I looked up and saw a full moon!
Wolf demons transformed during the full moon!
Could it be this handsome guy?!
“Xiaolan, why aren’t you moving?” Li Chao looked at me quizzically. I looked at him. “Have you seen any particularly handsome, lecherous, and somewhat strange men recently?”
Li Chao looked at me in confusion for a moment, then laughed. “Most men who come here are lecherous.”
“…” Just as I thought.
“Particularly handsome…that would be Mr. Qian inside. Others…not really. If it gets colder, more celebrities will come, and then there will be many handsome men.”
“Celebrities!” My eyes widened. Uh…no, no, this wasn’t the time for stargazing. I immediately grabbed Li Chao and pointed inside. “Can you take me in?”
He was taken aback. “That…I can’t…”
I smiled. “It’s okay, I know that guy. He helped me just now. I’ll go in and thank him, and by the way…hehe, check out what the VIP hot spring is like. I’m curious. Please~~~ Chao Ge~~~”
Li Chao thought for a moment and smiled. “Okay!” He turned around, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a strange expression, as if he was looking down on a gold digger.
He led me into the VIP area. The member’s area was clearly different. There were security guards at the entrance, and in front of us was a long glass corridor. On both sides of the corridor were beautiful gardens, high-end and retro, with an antique charm, like a royal hot spring.
The floor felt like it had underfloor heating, warm and cozy.
Soon, I saw the handsome guy’s pool, on one side of the glass corridor. The pool was surrounded by neatly trimmed bamboo fences, the ones I had seen from outside.
The handsome guy and a beautiful woman were drinking red wine in the pool. That’s what a man with taste was like! Oh my god! Why was I praising such a lecherous man? It was all an act!
I didn’t go out into the open but hid behind a potted plant by the floor-to-ceiling window. Li Chao looked at me quizzically. “Xiaolan, what are you doing?”
I pulled him down to squat with me. “Get down, get down.”
Li Chao squatted down with me. I took out my Immortal Realm phone. The Divine Communicator had many functions, like a demon-revealing mirror. If the handsome guy was a wolf demon, it could analyze his data.
Li Chao was stunned when he saw my phone. I smiled at him. “Latest model, fully transparent.”
He blinked and gripped the tray tightly.
I turned and pointed my phone at the handsome guy. Immediately, a red “X” appeared on the screen!
Huh? Data error?
Then, the screen suddenly flashed: “Target detected.”
“It detected him?!” I was a bit surprised. Usually, the target had to be within a certain range of my phone to be detected. I immediately said, “Show his location.”
Instantly, a 3D holographic map appeared on the screen, showing the glass corridor I was in. And right next to me, a wolf head was pulsating!
Suddenly!
I froze!
I stood up stiffly, and the person beside me also stood up slowly.
“Little sister!” The handsome guy outside the glass saw me and called out. The beautiful women with him also looked at me and smiled ambiguously.
I turned stiffly to look at him and mouthed: Run! Now!
He looked at me, puzzled. “What did you say, little sister?!”
“I said run, you idiot—”
The man in the pool scowled. “How dare you insult me! You!” Just then, both he and the beautiful women in the pool widened their eyes in terror. I saw a dark figure, no, a wolf figure, gradually emerging from behind me, reflected in the glass in front of me. It was growing taller and larger, black mane standing up like steel needles on its head, black ears erect within the stiff mane, sharp fangs exposed from its mouth!
It slowly raised its sharp claws and roared at me, “Awoo—”, its claws swiping fiercely at me.
“Eternal Protection!” I immediately activated my shield. I was sent flying. “Crash!” The shield shattered the glass in front of me, sending me tumbling into the hot spring outside.
“Splash!” I landed in the hot spring and stood up, the shield enveloping my entire body. The handsome guy and the beautiful women were completely dumbfounded. I immediately shouted at them, “Run!”
“Ah~~~~~~~” The beautiful women’s first reaction was to stand there and scream.
Sigh…that was why beautiful women always died first in slasher films. Look at the uncle, he had already nimbly vaulted over the bamboo fence and disappeared in a flash.
“Thud!” Li Chao suddenly leaped in front of me, slapped the screaming women away, and stood before me with a fierce look. Slowly, he returned to his human form, a sinister and wicked smile spreading across his face. “Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought I’d have a classmate from the Immortal Realm.”
I looked at him coldly. “I never thought I’d have a wolf demon as a classmate! No wonder the Immortal Realm couldn’t find you all these years. You were hiding in our school. Weren’t you bored! Of all places, you chose high school!”
“Of course, I was bored!” He threw down his tray and turned sideways. “Listening to math, physics, chemistry, and your mortal history, politics, and language every day! Doing endless, repetitive test papers, of course, I was bored! But!” He turned back to face me. “There’s no better place than high school, because even Gods don’t want to go there!”
Someone give me a wall to lean on. High school in our human world was truly a place that even Gods didn’t want to look at. I wondered how the Gods would feel after hearing this. How would the high school principals feel?
“Xia Xiaolan, you’re a mortal, how did you get into the Immortal Realm?” He looked me up and down, and I returned the gesture. “You’re a Yao, hiding in our school.”
“That’s different!”
“How is it different!”
“Because you’re a mortal! You’re not qualified to be in the Immortal Realm!” He glared at me, and I retorted sullenly, “Am I that bad?! Tell me! How many times did I bring you breakfast when we were in school!”
He froze and blinked. “That’s true…” Suddenly, he snapped back to reality, his wolf ears perking up from his hair. “Don’t change the subject! I’ll spare your life because you were my classmate!”
I stared at him sternly. “Did you spare those women’s lives?!”
“Hahahaha—” He laughed, then looked at me with a wicked smile. “What, you want to catch me?”
I slowly picked up my phone. “Unfortunately, you guessed right! All team members, assemble!”
Li Chao immediately narrowed his eyes and looked around cautiously.
I looked at him smugly and confidently. “Just you wait! I’ll call for backup! I have reinforcements!”
He immediately took a step back, a flicker of nervousness in his black eyes. His hands instantly turned into claws.
But something seemed wrong.
I looked around. Why hadn’t anyone shown up?!
“Whoosh~~~” A gust of wind swept across the hot spring. This was awkward~~~~
Li Chao cautiously looked around, seeming to realize that I hadn’t called for any backup. His expression relaxed, and he smiled. “Where are they? Where are your reinforcements?”
“Heh, heh heh, the phone signal isn’t very good.” I pointed at my phone. “Hold on, I’ll try again.”
“Sure~~~ I’ll wait~~~” He spread his hands, looking like a thug.
I immediately looked at my phone. “Let me check on my team members.” I swiped the screen, and images projected out, floating beside me. Si Yi Nuo was fighting Black Girl’s zombie, Qing Ming was carrying Mao Mao and running, with Bing Hu Chi Yue in hot pursuit!
And lastly, Jiang Yan and Mo Ming were facing…the God of Light, Hong Ri, and Qi Yuan William!
What was going on?!
How did everyone end up fighting after I lost contact for just a little while?!
I looked at the grids on my phone. It clearly showed that Fu Su’s entire team had completed their tasks!
