The room is up there," Su Han urged when he saw Hao Ren hesitate.
Saying "our room" sounds a bit ambiguous...
Hao Ren quickened his pace and followed Su Han further upstairs.
Inside the Dragon God Temple, powerful formations were set up. With Hao Ren's Lower Grade Geng level strength, he could not even fly; in fact, flying was strictly prohibited even if one managed to break through the formation’s restrictions.
A few more floors up, Su Han finally turned into a corridor connected with stairs. Hao Ren hurriedly followed him over. The Dragon God Temple's spiral staircase spread outwards like a maze as he climbed higher and higher.
On both sides of the black stone-floored corridors were rows of stone doors.
In Donghai City...
A heavy stone door above had three ancient Chinese characters carved on it.
Su Han picked up a token and placed it in an indentation on the stone door.
The stone door slowly creaked open, revealing an extremely spacious space inside.
This could no longer be called a room but rather a top-tier presidential suite. The super-sized "bedroom" constructed from black stone exuded a sense of grandeur and elegance due to its dark color.
Several crystals embedded in the walls allowed one to see outside. Because the platform supporting the Dragon God Temple was suspended high up in mid-air, while Hao Ren's suite was 34 floors above ground level, looking out from the crystal windows would reveal a vast blue sky and white clouds!
It felt like being in a top-tier suite floating high in the sky!
The floor was black as were the chairs and tables, yet there wasn't any sense of roughness because these stones had been polished to be very smooth. Moreover, the spiritual energy inside this room was even denser than outside.
"Donghai City is one of the four major cities associated with the Four Seas Dragon Palaces; hence, regional inspectors in Donghai City enjoy the best treatment among all regions," Su Han hung her token back on her waist and gracefully walked in. "This is where we rest within the Dragon God Temple."
Hao Ren followed in a few steps to find another "bedroom" inside.
Actually, calling it a bedroom would be inaccurate; it was more like an exercise room since there wasn't an ordinary bed but instead a three-meter square white jade platform.
"You can try it out," Su Han said.
Hao Ren chose the left one. Inside this room, besides the three-meter-square white jade platform, all sorts of living necessities were provided.
When Hao Ren touched this white jade platform, he immediately felt its icy coldness.
"Don't underestimate this white jade platform; it's made from ten-thousand-year-old ice jade. My life-bound treasure, the Celestial Lattice Divine Jade, is of similar quality and grade," Su Han walked in and said.
Hao Ren recalled Su Han's one-inch-wide and three-feet-long white jade sword that had become her life-bound treasure; naturally, its material wouldn't be subpar.
However... This massive white jade bed, the material quality is actually not much different from Su Han's White Jade Long Sword, which makes it extremely luxurious!
In other words, this kind of white jade bed is even more expensive than gold! Hao Ren almost had the urge to chisel a big chunk and take it back.
Of course, he wouldn't do such a thing. If it were Zhen Cunming, that would be another story.
Hao Ren activated the Sword Shadow Art and lay on the white jade bed. He no longer felt the icy sensation; instead, Hao Ren sensed a warm flow enveloping his entire body.
During this period of time, the four dragon丹orifices he cautiously opened were being nourished bit by bit in these fine streams of warmth.
"This ten-thousand-year cold jade bed has its surface made from cold jade. But within the flowing spiritual energy, it exhibits the characteristics of warm jade. Therefore, this white jade bed not only aids cultivation but is also most suitable for healing."
Su Han's words interrupted Hao Ren's experience.
Hao Ren turned his head to see Su Han lying on her side on the white jade bed. He had been immersed in cultivation and didn't even realize he'd spent half an hour doing it.
The white jade bed is three meters wide and long. There's still some distance between Hao Ren and Su Han, but they are technically sharing a bed. Hao Ren quickly sat up with a "gurgle."
"Over the next two months, I'll be here cultivating to try and break through." Su Han supported her delicate neck with one hand, lying face-up towards Hao Ren.
Su Han is Su Han; even in this casual reclining position, she looks as beautiful as a meticulous painting.
"Bed..." Hao Ren looked around, "Just this one"
"As a cultivation holy item, do you think there would be several of them" Su Han countered him.
"Uh..." Hao Ren was speechless.
"I wouldn't mind sharing this white jade with you," Su Han said next.
Hao Ren quickly straightened up, "No way! No way!"
He finally understood why Su Han would be so against Qin Shaoyang becoming the regional inspector of Donghai City.
If they both were to become regional inspectors of Donghai City, it meant she would have to share a room with Qin Shaoyang in Dragon God Hall.
But Hao Ren really couldn't say Su Han would let him lie on this white jade bed with her. It's better to politely decline her kindness.
Su Han sat up, took two sets of black robes from a cabinet beside the bed.
"Put on these black robes and I'll show you around," Su Han tossed one larger set to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren immediately reached out to catch it. He looked at Su Han, who returned his gaze with her eyes.
“I... I’ll go outside.” Realizing what was happening, Hao Ren took the clothes and left the "bedroom" dejectedly.
He took off his coat and put on the black robe. When Foremon had participated in the Dragon Temple’s examination, he too had worn such a robe, so there was no feeling of unfamiliarity at this moment.
Huang Ren subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the bedroom.
Su Han, who had already removed her sapphire blue dress, was putting on a black robe.
The bedroom here did not have a door and only used dark stone to create an area for a white jade bed. Huang Ren immediately saw Su Han’s figure.
In her swimsuit-style undergarment, Su Han's body was better than any model Huang Ren had ever seen on TV or in magazines.
Her arms, legs, and waist were free of any excess fat! Her proportions were absolutely perfect!
Su Han’s gaze suddenly shot over like lightning.
Whish!
The white jade sword beside Su Han rose up without wind, piercing towards Huang Ren's forehead!
Huang Ren hurriedly reached out to block it. A chaotic sword energy appeared in his palm, but his body involuntarily flew backward!
Sigh...
Huang Ren crashed into the black stone pillar behind him, almost breaking all of his bones.
At this moment, Su Han had already put on her black robe and walked over with a cold expression. She pulled out the white jade sword from Huang Ren's pierced palm.
A hole appeared in each of Huang Ren’s overlapping palms as he felt excruciating pain when Su Han extracted the sword.
Su Han stared at him silently, then suddenly turned around to open the stone door and walk out.
After she walked a few steps, noticing that Huang Ren remained in the room, she looked back coldly. "Aren’t you coming"
Huang Ren knew he was in the wrong and quickly crushed a detoxification pill to place on his wounded palms before following Su Han out.
Su Han, dressed in her black robe, looked striking and had a unique kind of elegance. She usually preferred loose white clothing but wore a tight-fitting black silk robe at this moment.
Huang Ren was afraid that Su Han still harbored anger towards him and did not dare to walk side by side with her, stepping aside instead and walking behind her. From this angle, he could see the most beautiful silhouette of Su Han from behind and the side.
"Did anything happen just now" Su Han suddenly turned around to ask Huang Ren.
"No... nothing happened!" Huang Ren immediately replied.
"Then why were you afraid of me" Su Han raised an eyebrow, asking.
"This..." Huang Ren lowered his head slightly and quickened his pace to walk side by side with Su Han.
The two black robes near the shoulders each have two three-clawed golden dragons, representing Su Han and Hao Ren's status as Level 3 Review Officers. Their attire is a more obvious identity marker than their tokens.
The lower-level review officers would bow to them from afar.
To progress from a Level 1 or 2 review officer to a Level 3, one needs to complete numerous tasks and accumulate significant contributions or make remarkable advancements in cultivation.
Su Han, the top scorer of the imperial examination that year, directly jumped to the rank of Level 3 Review Officer. After dealing with several heinous dragon fugitives, she was promoted to a Level 4 Review Officer based on her merit and strength, becoming the regional review officer for East Sea City.
Hao Ren became a Level 3 Review Officer partly due to his outstanding performance in this year’s Dragon God Temple imperial examination, where he decisively defeated Qin Shaoyang with overwhelming power. The other reason is Su Han's influence.
To become the regional review officer of East Sea City, one must at least be a Level 3 Review Officer. This arrangement by the Dragon God Temple fulfills Su Han’s wishes.
"Next, I'll take you to the restricted area of the Dragon God Temple—Heavenly Prison."
Su Han spoke indifferently as she led Hao Ren into a corridor.
Unlike other corridors, this one didn't have two heavy stone doors at its entrance. Each door on either side was carved with the emblem of a three-clawed golden dragon. Su Han placed her token in the middle slot, and the two stone doors slowly opened.
This place was dark, damp, colder than outside, and had extremely thin spiritual energy.
Bang… Bang…
When they entered, a series of violent rattles from the iron cages echoed around them.
"You son of a bitch! If you have the guts, come fight me!"
"Let me out or I'll bite your neck off!"
"Come on! Kill me!"
Variety of taunts and insults came at them from both sides.
Su Han remained expressionless, leading Hao Ren further into the prison with a calm tone. "If you fancy any of these prisoners, just pick one to fight; if they defeat you, their sentence will be reduced by ten years. But remember, they don't hold back."
Hao Ren turned his head and looked at the prisoners in the cages.
Seeing Hao Ren looking at them, some of these prisoners became even more brazen and started hurling insults and mockery.
The convicts locked up here by the Dragon God Temple were all extremely vicious criminals; otherwise, they would have been dealt with by local dragon palaces. The Dragon God Temple doesn’t execute them but imprisons them for centuries—most prisoners never even see freedom before dying in their cells.
"East Sea brat! I didn't expect a waste like you to become a review officer too! This shows how useless the Dragon God Temple is getting!" A sharp, ruthless voice came from Hao Ren's left.
"If I ever get out of here, I'll slaughter your entire family clean! Hahaha! Kill that girl and that old hag!"were such items attached to his back.Now, thinking about it… these should be gifts from the 10th level妖獸The three black grasses shaped like fish bones are what Su Han picked up but then dropped.
