Xianzhou Luofu, Luofu Grand Hotel…
The Luofu Grand Hotel, as one of the iconic buildings of the Xianzhou Luofu, stands tall in the center of the Exalting Sanctum like a magnificent palace, fully embodying Shenzhou architectural style combined with interstellar luxury.
In terms of architectural style, the Luofu Grand Hotel blends traditional Xianzhou elements with modern design concepts. The exterior features golden glazed tiles and red walls, making it particularly eye-catching.
Stone lions stand imposingly on both sides of the main entrance, guarding this luxurious hotel with an aura of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot pass."
Looking up at this resplendent Xianzhou-style hotel, even the well-traveled Topaz could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"As expected of the most luxurious hotel on the Xianzhou Luofu. This authentic Xianzhou flavor really cannot be matched by those imitations."
In other planets across the galaxy, or even at the Interastral Peace Corporation's headquarters in Pier Point, Xianzhou-style luxury hotels are not uncommon.
For example, in Pier Point, to better receive guests from the Xianzhou Alliance, the company invested heavily a few years ago to build a Xianzhou-style grand hotel—the Yao Guang Grand Hotel.
Since its completion and opening, guests from the Xianzhou Alliance have praised it highly. Thanks to this, the Yao Guang Grand Hotel's revenue has repeatedly hit new highs and once even topped the "Pier Point Top Ten Hotels" ranking.
However, after seeing a real Xianzhou grand hotel today, Topaz could not help but shake her head. Sure enough, compared to an authentic Xianzhou hotel, the one the company invested in still fell quite short.
"Numby, let's go inside."
Topaz gently called out to Numby beside her, then walked straight into the Luofu Grand Hotel.
"Honored lady, welcome."
Amid the doorman's greeting, Topaz entered the interior of the Luofu Grand Hotel.
Upon entering, the first thing that greeted Topaz's eyes was the hotel's grand lobby—a beautiful and dignified hall.
As the hotel's face, the Luofu Hotel's lobby was tall and spacious. The ceiling of just the first floor was a full dozen meters above the ground.
A massive crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire space. Luxurious carpets covered the floor, and exquisite traditional paintings adorned the walls, creating an elegant atmosphere.
As a comprehensive large-scale hotel, the Luofu Grand Hotel offered not only banquets but also accommodation, transportation, shopping, entertainment, and a full range of services.
Considering all this, Miss Topaz had originally planned to treat Qingque to a meal, then go out and have fun together to build a good relationship, before finally asking her to help recharge the imprint.
However, Yun Fan's decision to attend the banquet together had disrupted the girl's original plan.
It would be too awkward to go shopping with a married couple.
Under the guidance of the attendant, Topaz soon arrived at the private room she had reserved—the "Human Realm" suite.
"Bring me all of your hotel's best dishes, and a few bottles of good wine as well. Hmm… I recall the Interastral Peace Corporation has stored some excellent liquor here. This is my identification. Please bring those out for me."
Topaz gave the menu a quick glance. Since she did not know what kind of dishes Miss Qingque liked, the money-is-no-object Topaz simply ordered every dish on the menu to be safe.
"You can go prepare these first. My guests will arrive shortly, so please do not be late with the service."
The attendant respectfully left. After she departed, Topaz rested her cheek on her hand and looked out the window at the setting sun with a bored expression.
"So boring. I should have known better than to leave Numby outside."
Because she was meeting Qingque, she had temporarily left her little pet with the hotel staff.
As a result, this slightly older young lady was now quite bored, sitting alone with nothing to do.
"What kind of person is this Miss Qingque, I wonder? And her husband… To be able to marry an Emanator as his wife, that guy is really lucky."
— — — —
"I say, Ah Fan, be honest with me. Have you taken a liking to that 'Ten Stonehearts' member named Topaz?"
Near the Golden People Alley, in Qingque's home…
Qingque stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the man before her with suspicion as she asked. Though it was phrased as a question, her face showed complete certainty.
"Hmm, that girl is pretty good."
Without hiding anything, Mr. Yun Fan nodded honestly. He had no need to conceal his thoughts about Topaz.
Qingque had already heard from Tingyun about the [Causality] imprint he left on the back of Topaz's hand. Giving blessings to irrelevant people like that—neither Qingque nor anyone else would believe it was nothing.
"Tch, so it really is like that?"
Seeing Yun Fan openly admit it, Miss Qingque only pouted in slight dissatisfaction and did not say anything more.
She had long known that Yun Fan had other women. She had even considered having him take in the Master Diviner as well.
But with Fu Xuan's "strong outside, weak inside" personality—acting all dignified normally, yet turning into a deflated doll the moment romance was involved…
Thinking of this, Qingque sighed helplessly, then looked up at the clock on the wall.
Xianzhou Time: 6:25
Seeing that the time was almost right, Qingque said to Yun Fan beside her.
"Ah Fan, it's about time. Let's head to the banquet."
"Hmm." Yun Fan nodded slightly, then the corners of his mouth curved into a smile. "You go first, and I'll arrive a bit later?"
"You go first, and I follow later?" Qingque was stunned, looking somewhat surprised.
What did that mean? Weren't they supposed to go together? Why now…
Qingque looked at Yun Fan with some confusion, as if seeking an explanation. However, when she saw the smile on his lips, she seemed to understand and showed a look of sudden realization.
"I get it. So that's what you want to do. Fine then, I'll go to the banquet first and check her out for you."
With that, Qingque did not hesitate. She immediately used the authority of [Causality] to teleport herself outside the Luofu Grand Hotel.
Looking at the now-empty sofa, a playful expression appeared on Yun Fan's face.
"Topaz, oh Topaz, you'd better not speak ill of me in front of Qingque. Otherwise, when you find out my identity later… hehehe…"
