Chapter 97 Child Hunter
"..."
Ai Yao was so embarrassed by the ruckus she had caused that she could not bear to stay in the restaurant.
In an awkward situation, she had taken it upon herself to pull Gu Xia out of the restaurant and they were now walking down the sidewalk.
Gu Xia was extremely displeased as he silently wept inside because he could not finish the ribs which he had left on the plate.
Despite her usual expression being one of coldness and indifference, Ai Yao seemed to have noticed that Gu Xia was unhappy and, as a result, she attempted to put on a forced smile.
"I'm sorry.."
The loli spoke barely audibly, almost inaudibly, under her breath.
She was at a loss for words and could not think of anything to say, for she had never wanted to displease him…
'Are ribs that important to him?'
Ai Yao was deep in thought as she contemplated the matter.
Gu Xia's face was expressionless as he rubbed his stomach area in a slow, methodical motion.
"You have gone past the point of what is acceptable. This needs to be addressed."
As he said those words, he halted his steps and looked toward his right, his gaze fixed directly on her eyes.
Ai Yao nervously swallowed, her slender frame quaking as she felt his eyes upon her.
"…"
Gu Xia, who was about to speak, noticed that the moon had already risen and the sidewalk was becoming less crowded.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out as a sigh, he surveyed his surroundings and saw a motel.
'I'm feeling far too exhausted and far too unmotivated to face this situation, let alone make it back home.'
He didn't verbalize his feelings, yet his face showed fatigue and despair as he walked towards the motel, which did not appear to be in great condition.
Casting a glance in the direction where Gu Xia's eyes were directed, Ai Yao, who was not a mind reader, found her cheeks turning red when her gaze met the building.
'D-Does he want to duel cultivate now!?'
The intense embarrassment she felt caused her body to turn a bright red colour and inside her head, she was screaming. Her cute face showed signs of both shame and embarrassment.
Even though she felt a sense of shame, she obediently followed Gu Xia, much like a duckling follows its mother.
Gu Xia, who was too exhausted to pay attention to his surroundings, did not notice the awkward figure that followed behind him.
Following a brief 5-minute jaunt, both Gu Xia and Ai Yao arrived at the motel, which had an unpleasant odor.
Being both cultivators, their sense of smell was highly developed, which caused both of their faces scrunching up.
Covering his nose with his right hand, Gu Xia pushed the double glass door open and entered liked he owned the placed.
Gu Xia, with his right hand covering his nose, opened the double glass door with a sense of ownership and confidently stepped inside.
Following the example set by Gu Xia, Ai Yao brought both of her hands to cover her nose and trailed after him.
Ding.
Once the glass doors were opened, a small ding sound quietly echoed out.
"Room 24, on the second floor, is available for the night, and it is priced at $80.
There was an elderly woman, clad in all gothic clothing, with long raven-black hair and eyes that were as dark as the night sky, who spoke without so much as lifting her gaze from her phone that she was holding, and she was situated behind a very lengthy desk.
Gu Xia, without saying a word, extracted his wallet, removed a $100 bill and placed it on the desk.
When the gothic woman looked at the desk and saw the cash, her brows slightly raised.
"Do you want any change?"
With a voice of indifference, she asked the guests the same question without even looking at them.
"We're fine."
Gu Xia answered in a voice filled with exhaustion, followed by a yawn.
Ai Yao remained quiet and did not make any comments. At this moment, her mind was in a state of total disarray.
Before Gu Xia had even taken a single step in the direction of the room, he heard a loud, piercing scream behind him.
"H-How could you bring a child to this place?!"
As the gothic woman, her attention solely on the money, spotted a small child standing behind the young man, she couldn't help but be overcome by her anger.
After all, she knew this place was for sex! Pure sex! No one has ever stayed here for any purpose other than sex!
Gu Xia, with a defeated sigh and some silent cursing under his breath, ran his hand over his forehead as he tried to explain the situation to the gothic woman.
"I am too fatigued to pay any attention to the place I have entered besides knowing it's a motel, and moreover, she is not a child."
Without anyone noticing, Ai Yao swiftly supported Gu Xia as she quickly retrieved her ID card from her pocket dimension.
She presented the gothic woman with her identification.
The woman with the gothic style attire gazed at the ID with her eyes slanted, scrutinizing it with a careful eye.
Upon realizing that there was nothing wrong with the identification, she felt embarrassed and scratched her face before bowing her head in apology to Gu Xia with a regretful expression on her face.
"I offer my sincere regret for my error. It was a terrible mistake on my part. I didn't know you had that fetish…"
Gu Xia chose to ignore that comment and made a quick path to the room.
Ai Yao could not look up, instead her gaze was drawn to her chest, a place where she felt an overwhelming sense of shame due to the lack of curves and definition.
'It'll grow one day…'
