Hotel

"Goodbye, Sister Mei! I’ll come find you to play next time!"

After exchanging pleasantries at the entrance to the Public Cemetery, Le Erya and Lin Qinghe finally said goodbye to Gu Sheng and Liu Daimei. Accompanied by a group of police officers, the two entered the cemetery.

"What do you think will happen if they discover that you opened the grave once?"

Liu Daimei chuckled softly, exuding a seductive, enchanting air that unconsciously drew the attention of the surrounding onlookers.

"Nothing!"

Gu Sheng said irritably, "If I get arrested, you won’t get away either. I’m the principal offender and you’re an accomplice. We’ll both be sentenced for damaging someone else’s grave, so we’re in the same boat!"

"Hmph~"

Liu Daimei was displeased. She shot Gu Sheng an annoyed look, then climbed back into the sports car.

"Wait for me!"

Gu Sheng hurriedly got into the sports car. Amid the "vroom vroom~~~" of the engine, he and Liu Daimei disappeared from the scene.

"Captain Lin! We didn’t find anything!"

A team of police officers carefully inspected the area around Li Xiaoyun’s grave, but found no important clues. Gu Sheng’s method of reapplying the cement had been superb; ordinary people could not tell the difference with the naked eye.

"This is~"

Lin Qinghe was still somewhat unwilling to give up. Her eyes swept around, and she suddenly noticed two footprints in front of Li Xiaoyun’s grave. These footprints were unusually deep! She walked around the area and, although something felt strange, ultimately found no useful clues.

"Gu Sheng, what was that all about just now?"

After driving Gu Sheng out of the Public Cemetery, Liu Daimei looked back nervously.

The Lord God Space in the real world seemed to have appeared only a few days ago, and the Reincarnators were still very inexperienced. With Wang Lin and Ling Wei’s previous example before them, everyone had been behaving themselves in the real world lately.

Liu Daimei dressed sexily and acted boldly and enthusiastically, so she ought to have seemed quite daring. But the situation just now had been extremely dangerous. If anyone had discovered that Gu Sheng had damaged the grave, both of them would have been taken to the police station. Having a criminal record would have caused them even more trouble.

"Tang Lie…"

Gu Sheng briefly told her what he had learned about Tang Lie, Li Xiaoyun and her parents, and the Yao Family. As for Tang Lie’s death, he was somewhat vague, merely saying that Tang Lie had attacked him first, died after a fight, and asked him to take care of some matters before his death.

"This is the dirt Tang Lie left behind. See if you have any trustworthy connections and find a way to expose it!"

Gu Sheng took the storage device from his backpack. Even he had no good way to handle this thing. If he reported it to the authorities, he did not know whether it would be investigated. If he posted it directly online, there were so many surveillance cameras these days that his trail might be exposed.

"Even though you were mortal enemies, you’re still helping him after his death. I really don’t understand you men!"

Liu Daimei rolled her eyes at Gu Sheng and snatched the storage device with one elegant hand.

"Setting aside that inexplicable battle, he wasn’t a bad person. Without that… we might have been friends."

Gu Sheng sighed wistfully. His status as Tang Lie’s mortal enemy had come from the system. Only one of them could survive.

He had simply been lucky enough to encounter the Lord God Space before Tang Lie. If the Lord God Space had not existed, or if Tang Lie had entered it first, the outcome might have been completely different.

Attribute Power, combined with an unrestrained alternate world, was extremely frightening. Tang Lie, whose mind was filled with revenge, was not as principled as Gu Sheng. Once he discovered that Fortune Points could be obtained by killing people, who knew what he might have done…

Besides, alternate worlds contained plenty of opportunities. As long as he obtained a slightly advanced manual and had enough Fortune Points, who knew what realm he could reach after a single world?

However, Attribute Power seemed to have some drawbacks too. When Gu Sheng had fought Tang Lie earlier, he had discovered that Tang Lie’s combat experience was pitifully lacking.

Because his cultivation had been forcefully raised by his ability, he possessed insights in his mind, but had major problems putting them into practice. It was easy for someone with abundant experience to defeat him in battle.

Liu Daimei continued, "It’s almost noon. Let’s find somewhere to eat."

"Sure~"

Gu Sheng agreed. A faint smile touched Liu Daimei’s lips, and she stepped on the accelerator, speeding up immediately.

"Here! We’re eating here!"

Looking at the beautifully decorated hotel in front of him, Gu Sheng realized that he had fallen into Liu Daimei’s trap after all.

"That’s right! This is where I’m staying. Don’t get the wrong idea."

Liu Daimei gave Gu Sheng a coquettish look. "The company’s studio is still being prepared, and my lodging hasn’t been arranged yet either. I can only stay at a hotel for now, so we might as well eat here too!"

"All right! I’ll follow you and broaden my horizons. But don’t blame me if I embarrass you later!"

Gu Sheng sighed. Since she had put it that way, what else could he say? His words were meant as a joke, but they were not entirely impossible either.

In the real world, Gu Sheng had been a poor nobody raised in an orphanage. His grades had been average. He had applied for a government loan to pay his university tuition, worked part-time on weekends to cover his weekly living expenses, and taken on various online jobs on the side. His life had been decent enough, and he had even managed to save a little money.

However, someone like him naturally could not afford to dine at a hotel. He had never paid attention to the etiquette required in places like this, and he might embarrass himself if he was not careful.

"Are you scared?"

Liu Daimei smiled and took Gu Sheng’s hand, leading him into the restaurant of the upscale hotel. They ate in peace, and no scene occurred where anyone looked down on them or anything of the sort. Could it be that novels really were all lies?

After they finished lunch, Liu Daimei suggested going upstairs to sit for a while. What could Gu Sheng say? Refuse? That was impossible. As a grown man, what did he have to fear about being taken advantage of?

Liu Daimei coveted Gu Sheng’s vigorous masculine vitality, but Gu Sheng was far stronger than her. If he did not cooperate, the woman probably could not even bite through his skin.

"Big sister is going to take a shower. Sit in the room for a while, and don’t peek, okay?"

Liu Daimei smiled at Gu Sheng as she spoke. Then, with her back to him, she removed her cool outfit, walked past him in nothing but a bikini, and even turned around to blow him a kiss as she entered the bathroom, repeating, "Don’t peek, okay?"

"Knock! Knock! Knock…"

Gu Sheng lay quietly on the sofa, silently circulating his cultivation method, when a series of faint thuds suddenly reached his ears.
