NOVEL WEB Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Satisfied, One Room
Creak, creak, creak…
The sun was setting in the west, painting the horizon with fiery red clouds. Flocks of birds chirped and flew past a luxurious carriage engraved with the emblem of the six-winged angel spirit.
"Chengfeng, Chengfeng, wake up…"
Dai Chengfeng, lost in his dreams, heard someone calling his name and slowly opened his eyes, still drowsy.
He looked around in confusion. The carriage was the same as before, but the incense on the table had burned out, no longer emitting its delicate white smoke.
Across from him sat Bibi Dong, her dress swaying gently in the breeze, revealing glimpses of her snow-white calves.
At this moment, she appeared to be leisurely licking her slender, purple-painted nails, her cheeks flushed, exuding an eerie yet seductive charm…
What was Bibi Dong doing?
Watching this scene, Dai Chengfeng's expression turned slightly odd. He couldn't figure out what was going on with her.
But soon, he stopped pondering and instead asked hoarsely:
"Teacher, how long did I sleep?"
Bibi Dong raised her head slightly. "For a very long time. If you didn't wake up soon, it would've been completely dark."
"That long?"
Dai Chengfeng was surprised as he sat up and looked out the window.
The glow of the sunset had dimmed, and the sky had grown dark, taking on a deep indigo hue. Only a few rays of residual sunlight lingered on the ground.
"It really was that long—I didn't feel it at all."
"Little sleepyhead…"
Bibi Dong chuckled softly, her teasing voice crisp like a silver bell, yet tinged with laziness and satisfaction.
Seeing Bibi Dong joke with him, Dai Chengfeng realized that his teacher was in a good mood.
But he couldn't understand why she was so cheerful.
After a day of travel, what was there to be happy about?
At this moment, Bibi Dong noticed Dai Chengfeng's puzzled look and slowly composed herself before speaking again: "Chengfeng, I woke you because it's almost dark."
"Not far ahead, there happens to be an inn."
"We won't continue traveling tonight. Let's rest at the inn for the night, alright?"
"Is that so?"
Dai Chengfeng nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
As he prepared to get up, Dai Chengfeng noticed that his clothes seemed looser than before.
Why had he slept so soundly?
He shook his head and adjusted his collar, a faint sense of doubt rising in his heart.
But he didn't dwell on it too much and stepped down from the carriage.
After all, nothing bad had happened to him, and Bibi Dong wouldn't have drugged him, right?
Bibi Dong stretched lazily, picked up her silver high heels, and bent her head slightly to put them on methodically.
Her toes curled slightly, and the heels tapped lightly against the floor of the carriage, producing a crisp sound.
Then, Bibi Dong raised her hand slightly, gesturing to Dai Chengfeng.
Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng quickly extended his hand to help Bibi Dong steady herself.
Bibi Dong's fingers were long and delicate, their tips tinged with a faint pink, like blooming cherry blossom petals.
They were cool and soft, akin to the finest jade…
Dai Chengfeng felt the sensation against his fingertips, and his heart tightened abruptly.
It wasn't until Bibi Dong released his hand after stepping out of the carriage that he snapped back to reality.
"Ahem"
Dai Chengfeng cleared his throat awkwardly and smiled, shifting the topic as he looked toward the nearby inn.
"Teacher, it seems our luck is good. There's actually an inn by the roadside here."
Bibi Dong nodded, a flicker of amusement passing through her eyes as she murmured softly:
"Yes, it seems…"
"Our luck is good."
Soon, the two entered the inn. As their footsteps echoed, the innkeeper rushed out to greet them with a smile, asking:
"Dear guests, are you here for dinner or lodging?"
"It's late already, so naturally we're here for lodging."
As Dai Chengfeng spoke, he pulled out a few gold soul coins. "Boss, give us two rooms, please."
Hearing this, the innkeeper's face instantly filled with apologetic smiles as he waved his hands frantically. "My apologies, dear guest. Unfortunately…"
"Business has been booming tonight, and we don't have any extra rooms left."
"The only room we have left is a large bed suite. Would one room do?"
"Just one room left?"
Dai Chengfeng found it hard to believe, his mind filling with doubts.
After all, this place wasn't remote, but it certainly wasn't popular either. How could the inn be fully booked?
And how coincidental was it that the only room left was a large bed suite?
Though suspicious, Dai Chengfeng didn't dwell on it too much. After all, it couldn't possibly be arranged by Bibi Dong, right?
And the purpose… was to share a room with him?
That was laughable. Dai Chengfeng preferred to believe it was a coincidence.
So, turning to Bibi Dong, Dai Chengfeng suggested: "Teacher, how about you stay in the inn while I make do in the carriage for the night?"
"The carriage may not be as comfortable as the inn, but it can shelter me from the wind and rain."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong shook her head gently, her tone calm. "It's fine. One room will suffice."
"At night, you can sleep on the floor."
"Huh?"
Dai Chengfeng froze, his eyes wide with surprise.
Bibi Dong… she actually agreed to share a room with him?
What was she thinking?
"But Teacher, if it's just one room, aren't you afraid that…"
However, before Dai Chengfeng could finish, Bibi Dong interrupted him with a sly smile.
"Afraid? Do you think you can force me?"
"Uh, no…"
Dai Chengfeng chuckled awkwardly. Even if Bibi Dong weren't using her full strength, he wouldn't stand a chance against her.
Force her?
If anything, it was more likely the other way around.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong smiled and said nothing further, turning to the innkeeper. "Lead the way."
"Yes, yes, guests, follow me."
The innkeeper bowed repeatedly, his face plastered with a smile, and hurriedly led the way.
Dai Chengfeng could only follow Bibi Dong with a strange expression.
However, unbeknownst to him, the innkeeper gave Bibi Dong a slight nod, and Bibi Dong returned the gesture.
Clearly, everything was not merely a… coincidence!
Soon, the innkeeper stopped in front of a room.
He pushed open the door and said obsequiously: "This is the room, esteemed guests. Please enter."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly and walked into the room with composure. She then instructed the innkeeper:
"Bring some food and hot water. I'll bathe later."
Bathe?
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Dai Chengfeng instinctively glanced at her curvaceous figure and unconsciously swallowed.
What exactly was Bibi Dong planning to do?
Could his mother's words have come true?
Dai Chengfeng's heart was filled with unease.
The innkeeper, hearing this, quickly replied: "Of course, of course. Please wait a moment, and I'll bring it over."
With that, he exited the room, his footsteps fading into the distance.
Soon, the door closed.
Looking at the closed door, the innkeeper revealed a meaningful smile and pulled ten gold soul coins from his sleeve. "Finally done."
Then, he tucked the coins back into his pocket.
But soon, thinking of Bibi Dong's beauty and perfect figure, the innkeeper couldn't help but envy Dai Chengfeng immensely.
"In my entire life, I'll probably never see such a stunning woman again, and he gets to enjoy her company. What a pity!"
