Chapter 231: Soaking in the Hot Springs with Zhu Zhuqing and Bing'er
The receptionist continued to smile, explaining, "Sir, this is the highest-end hot spring hotel on the continent, so naturally, the prices are much higher than usual."
"Alright, alright, we'll take three of these gold soul coins," Ye Wen didn't care about this small amount of money and tossed three gold soul coins on the counter.
One gold soul coin might be a year's worth of living expenses for an ordinary person, a large sum of money, but for soul masters or wealthy nobles, it's just a small, insignificant amount.
This world is like that, with a small number of people controlling most of the wealth. The gap between the rich and the poor is enormous!
And a high-class hot spring hotel like this is essentially designed to serve the rich and take their money, because for them, one gold soul coin is nothing at all.
After entering, they went to change.
"We'll go change now!"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhu Zhuqing and Bing'er held hands, laughing and chatting as they swayed their little hips, heading towards the women's changing room.
Ye Wen also went to the men's changing room by himself. A short while later, he came out wearing just a pair of beach shorts, running around outside for a bit.
"Why are these two girls still not out yet? It's been five minutes!" Ye Wen stood at the entrance to the women's changing room, waiting.
Inside the women's changing room, Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't even started changing. They were both debating which swimsuit would look better.
"Zhuqing, do you think this one looks good?" Bing'er asked, holding up a swimsuit.
Zhu Zhuqing touched her chin and examined it. "Hmm, it looks good, but will it be too revealing? Almost everything will be exposed. The Star Night Hot Springs is a mixed-gender bath, you know. If you wear something that revealing, Ye Wen might not be happy."
"Yeah, you're right. I'll go with something more conservative then."
"Mm-hmm."
"Then Bing'er, what do you think of this one?" Zhu Zhuqing also asked for Bing'er's opinion.
"It's good! It suits your style," Bing'er said with a smile.
The two girls finally chose their swimsuits, and Ye Wen had been waiting for ten minutes. He sighed in frustration, "What's taking them so long?!"
A minute later, the two girls emerged from the changing room, looking brand new in their sexy swimsuits. They stood in front of the mirror, twisting their bodies and hips, admiring their looks and figures.
Girls always love to look at themselves in the mirror after changing clothes, so it was no surprise they spent a few minutes checking themselves out.
Zhu Zhuqing was wearing a tight swimsuit, the fabric clinging closely to her body, showcasing her stunning curves and figure in a breathtaking way.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's figure, Bing'er couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious. She thought her looks and charm were on par with Zhu Zhuqing's, but in terms of body, she just couldn't compare.
Zhu Zhuqing's body was too stunning, and few men could resist such a body. Even women would envy her.
Bing'er, with a face full of admiration, said, "Wow, Zhuqing, your figure is amazing! I'm so envious! You're really sexy!"
"It's nothing like that," Zhu Zhuqing blushed at the compliment. Although she usually came off as cold and aloof, she was actually quite shy.
"Really, just look at your hips and chest—they're so much bigger than mine! I really envy you! I wish I had a figure like yours."
Bing'er said this and couldn't resist lightly tapping Zhu Zhuqing's firm and elastic backside. The force caused Zhu Zhuqing's rear to bounce several times.
"Wow! Zhuqing, your butt is so bouncy!" Bing'er exclaimed.
"Don't, don't do that, Bing'er!" Zhu Zhuqing blushed even more, embarrassed by the playful touch.
"Hehe~"
Bing'er covered her mouth and smiled, watching Zhu Zhuqing's adorable, blushing face, which made her feel a little mischievous. "We're all girls, it's fine, right?"
Saying that, Bing'er playfully gave Zhu Zhuqing's backside another slap, this time a bit harder.
The slap echoed with a loud "smack."
"Mmhm~" The sudden slap made Zhu Zhuqing's body tingle with a sensation of soft numbness, as this was a sensitive area for a girl. She couldn't help but let out a shy sound.
"Hey, Bing'er!" Zhu Zhuqing, still red in the face, decided to return the favor. She slapped Bing'er's backside with a playful grin.
Smack!
"Ah! Zhuqing, you hit me too hard!" Bing'er also blushed instantly. The sudden slap left her with a similar tingling sensation, and both girls were now blushing.
Smack!
"Ah! Bing'er, you again?!"
Smack!
"Mm~ Zhuqing, no, no, I was wrong!"
The two girls started playing around in front of the mirror.
By this point, twenty-five minutes had passed, and Ye Wen said, "Still not done?"
"Alright, alright, Zhuqing, stop playing, Ye Wen is probably getting impatient outside," Bing'er said as she stopped the playful banter.
Zhu Zhuqing also stopped playing and nodded, "Mm, let's go then."
"Wait, Zhuqing."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze and saw Bing'er's face, which suddenly became serious. She had a feeling that what Bing'er was about to say wasn't ordinary.
"Zhuqing, you... like Ye Wen, don't you?" Bing'er suddenly became serious.
"I..." Zhu Zhuqing froze, wanting to speak but hesitating, not knowing how to answer.
In fact, Zhu Zhuqing had already fallen for Ye Wen back when they were preparing for the Soul Master Competition at Monster Academy.
However, she had kept her feelings hidden because of her shyness, not daring to express her true feelings. Later, when she saw Ye Wen with Bing'er, she buried those emotions deep inside.
Even though she kept her feelings hidden, spending every day together, practicing side by side, over the years, it was clear to everyone, especially Bing'er, who had long noticed it.
"Bing'er, I don't want to lie to you, I really..." Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a moment and continued, "But Bing'er, don't worry, I won't interfere with your relationship with him."
Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish, Bing'er quickly responded, "Zhuqing, if Ye Wen has feelings for you, I will accept you."
Zhu Zhuqing froze: "Bing'er, you..."
Bing'er shook her head and smiled. After a long period of thought and hesitation, she finally made her decision: "Zhuqing, how many years have we all been living together?"
