Greg was already struggling to keep his yin and yang balanced, with an excess of yang energy that was almost too much for him to handle. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, since they were in the car, it was not the time for jokes, so he changed the subject and asked about Alfred Webbâs illness.
At the mention of her father, Lois Abbottâs face lit up with a smile, âMy dadâs much better now, he was able to get out of bed and walk around yesterday.â Greg nodded and said, âMm, thatâs good, as long as he takes his medicine for a while longer, he should fully recover.â
âGreg, thank you, if it werenât for you, my dad mightâ¦â
âWiry bring that up, after all, heâs my future father-in-law, how could I possibly not save him when heâs in danger?â
Lois had been very grateful to Greg and was pondering over how to thank him properly. When she heard his remark, her eyebrows shot up instantly.
âGreg, you⦠youâre teasing me again, if you keep this up, Iâllâ¦â
âWhat will you do, huh?â
Greg looked at her with a mischievous grin, his flippant attitude almost infuriated Lois to death.
She blurted out, âIf you keep bullying me, Iâll⦠Iâll stop letting you sleep.â
âYou wouldnât dare! People who go back on their words need a spanking.â
âYouâ¦â
Lois was utterly defeated by him and knew she couldnât outtalk Greg, so she chose to remain silent.
Seeing her puffed-up angry look, Greg found it amusing but didnât continue to tease her.
The two quickly arrived at the Reverie Inn, where Harry Cooper, the waiting purchase manager, hurriedly came over with his staff.
âDragon fish? Is it really dragon fish?â
Harry Cooper peeked into the fish tank, his voice full of excitement and surprise.
âThis is perfect, with the dragon fish, our hotel can be resurrected.â
Lois was also pleased and said with a smile, âYou better take good care of the dragon fish for me, donât let them all die before Mr. Zhu arrives.â
Harry Cooper quickly assured, âDonât worry, I wonât let the dragon fish die.â âMm, go ahead, Iâve got something else to handle, you look after the hotel for now.â
âUnderstood.â
Lois nodded her head and drove away from the hotel.
The car became quiet, and Greg looked at her with a smile, making no move to initiate conversation.
Lois bit her lip and asked in a mosquito-like voice, âWhere⦠where are we going?â
Greg responded with a question, âWhere would you like to go?â
Loisâs face flushed slightly, âWherever you say.â
Greg laughed heartily and dropped the teasing, stating directly, âLetâs find a nice hotel.â
Greg wasnât a man lacking in sentiment; he felt that there needed to be a sense of occasion.
Even without flowers and a grand confession, the setting at least had to be right.
What he didnât expect was for Lois to take him to the only three-star hotel in Riverhaven County.
Moreover, when they got to the reception, Lois asked for the presidential suite right away.
Seven thousand eight hundred a night!
Greg was dumbfounded and really wanted to ask the hotel staff if the toilets in the presidential suite were made of pure gold.
If not, why the hell was it so expensive!
Seeing him wince at the price, a teasing look spread across Loisâs face, and her mood seemed to improve a lot.
However, Greg was not a miser. Thinking that this was their first official time together, he swiped his card without further ado and they headed upstairs.
Itâs only seven thousand eight, I still have over a hundred thousand in my card!
After entering the room, Greg couldnât help but marvel inwardly; the money was well spent.
The room was divided into two large areas, a living room for visitors on the outside and a bedroom inside, plus there was a small outdoor swimming pool.
Outside the swimming pool was the Enchanted River, formed by the confluence of five large rivers.
The breeze stirred, and the waves rose, making one feel completely at ease.
The roomâs overall decorative style leaned toward classical Northern European, with intricate patterns and smoothly curling lines, providing a unique sense of beauty.
Strictly speaking, this room didnât meet the standard of a presidential suite, for it lacked bodyguard quarters and a nannyâs room.
Yet, this was still the best room in Riverhaven County.
Greg Jensen had never stayed in such a luxurious hotel in his life, and today proved a learning experience.
Money sure was great!
He had to keep practicing cultivation; with strength, would he ever have to worry about money?
Then he could properly experience the life of the rich!
Greg Jensen thought to himself, his gaze settling on Lois Abbottâs graceful figure.
âI⦠Iâll take a bath first.â
Feeling that highly invasive gaze, Lois Abbott stuttered out her intentions, flushing as she dashed into the bathroom without waiting for a response.
The next second, she popped her head back out of the bathroom and warned, âThe bathroom door doesnât lock, so you better not come in!â
âHaha, then why donât we bathe together?â
âNoway!â
Lois Abbott quickly shut the door and wrapped a towel around the doorknob several times, using it as a makeshift lock.
The door leading to the outdoor balcony was wide open, and the warm, gentle breeze caressed Greg Jensenâs face like a tender hand.
He lay on the soft, expansive bed, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom as a strand of yang energy in his Dantian began to roam uncontrollably.
âHow about⦠we just bathe together.â
Greg Jensen sat up from the bed and tiptoed to the bathroom door.
Inside the bathroom, water poured from the showerhead, and Lois Abbott sat on the toilet, her face a mask of conflict.
She had already decided to give herself completely to Greg Jensen, not just out of gratitude for saving her father, but as part of their agreement too.
But now, when it was time to begin, she felt indecisive and anxious.
Lois Abbott recalled the embarrassing scene in the cave and the humiliating sounds she had made, her cheeks flaming, her heartbeat quickening.
âWe should just bathe together; you wonât be able to do it on your own anyway.â
Startled by the voice, Lois Abbott turned to see Greg Jensen, clad in just a pair of shorts, standing in the doorway with a grin.
She instinctively shrank away, but her eyes were drawn to Greg Jensenâs body âthe chiseled abs, the solid pectoral muscles, andâ¦
Seeing no refusal from Lois Abbott, Greg Jensen walked in, wrapped his arms around her slender waist and bent down to kiss her.
Faced with the sudden embrace and kiss, Lois Abbott seemed overwhelmed.
Even with their prior experience, her mind went blank as they truly began.
In the misty air, their breaths grew heavy.
Two hours later, Lois Abbott lay limply against Greg Jensen, succumbing to a deep sleep.
Greg Jensen sat at the edge of the bed, carefully sensing the changes within his body.
Just one session of Dual Cultivation had significantly increased his True Qi, equivalent to several sessions of the Guidance Technique.
The True Qi, which previously felt volatile, had become calm and tranquil after their Dual Cultivation.
It seemed that Dual Cultivation should be the main focus moving forward.
With the rate they were practicing, he was confident that it wouldnât be long before he reached the next level.
However, the Guidance Technique couldnât be neglected entirely; Greg Jensen understood the principle of moderation well.
âAlt, asleep already?â
Greg Jensen looked down and noticed that although Lois Abbott seemed to be asleep, her long eyelashes were fluttering lightly.
He smiled softly and quietly reached his hand under the covers.
âAll⦠what are you doingâ¦â
âDoing whatâ¦â
Seductive sounds once again filled the room.
