Free Web NovelChapter 2032: Chapter 2032: Ulterior Motives! The Safety of the VIP Room! No Charge!
The reason the cool woman added the last sentence.
Is because she recalled the first time she met Mu Jinyu, he spoke this way, making her cover half of the teleportation cost.
In the end, she was so exasperated that she simply tossed five hundred catties of Source Stones to Mu Jinyu.
And now, although she didn’t have many Source Stones left, it wasn’t enough to stay in a VIP room by herself. Besides, the VIP room was already booked by Mu Jinyu, even if she had enough Source Stones, she couldn’t snatch it from him.
Mu Jinyu’s personality seemed like he’d be open to splitting costs...
So, the cool woman thought that with the Source Stones she had left, splitting the cost might be enough.
This was why she suggested this to Mu Jinyu.
"Stay with me?"
When Mu Jinyu heard the cool woman’s words, he was momentarily stunned, his expression turning a bit peculiar.
He shook his head and said, "What are you doing? This... are you making some kind of advance on me?"
As he spoke, he eyed the cool woman warily.
Mu Jinyu’s words weren’t exactly an exaggeration.
The woman in front of him had a decent aura, but in the cultivation world, where handsome men and beautiful women were abundant, she was just average.
Moreover, her cultivation level wasn’t high.
It was possible she might be making an advance on him!
"I... making an advance on you?!"
The cool woman had been conflicted for a long time before boldly approaching Mu Jinyu, but she almost fainted with anger after just one sentence!
Her face flushed with an unusual redness, her expression a mix of embarrassment and frustration, "Who would make an advance on you, I... I just..."
The woman struggled to find words.
Mu Jinyu frowned and said, "Don’t you already have a room? Having a room and still wanting to stay with me means you have some intentions, doesn’t it? Given how handsome I am, and my high cultivation level, it’s understandable you’d have a mind to make advances on me. But no matter how much Source Stone you have, I’m not a casual person, I’m already married. It’s impossible between us, you should leave!"
"No!!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, the cool woman was so angry she nearly vomited blood. Her face turned red as she gritted her teeth, "Who wants anything with you? I just want to stay in the VIP room. If I had enough Source Stones, I would have thrown several times the amount at you to get you out of that room!"
"Oh? So you are interested in the VIP room?"
Mu Jinyu was slightly taken aback by her words, his expression revealing a sudden realization, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing Mu Jinyu’s relieved expression, the cool woman was livid, biting down with her silver teeth, "What else? You think I’d be interested in you?"
"If you weren’t such a money-grubber, I wouldn’t have come to you. Are you giving it or not? If you do, I’ll pay half the room cost; if not, forget it!"
Hearing the woman’s words, Mu Jinyu realized that if he continued speaking, she might just walk away.
So he seriously asked, "Oh, if you want to stay with me, it’s not impossible, but why do you insist on the VIP room? Is it because you’re of higher status and regular rooms aren’t good enough for you?"
Mu Jinyu’s words weren’t mocking the cool woman, but rather, he believed that the VIP rooms on this ship were not much different from the regular ones.
They just have a bit more Spirit Fruit, a larger space, and adjustable Primordial Qi for cultivation, but these perks weren’t significant enough to warrant spending extra money.
In fact, this was a minor discrepancy in his thinking. The differences between the VIP and regular rooms weren’t substantial, but the ability to control the Origin Source cultivation Qi was crucial.
He never needed to utilize the Primordial Qi for cultivation, as he simply used Spiritual Energy like air conditioning to make himself comfortable.
But for ordinary cultivators, the ability to continue cultivating in the Forbidden Dead Sea was a great boon!
It justified the large expenditure to stay in a VIP room!
Therefore, in Mu Jinyu’s mind, the difference between regular and VIP rooms wasn’t very large!
But others did not see it that way.
However, the cool woman’s intention to stay in the VIP room wasn’t for cultivation, but rather for a different purpose.
She slightly frowned at Mu Jinyu’s words, shaking her head, "Not at all. I never said I was of high status, it’s just that staying in a VIP room is significantly safer than a regular room!"
Having said this, she dared not speak directly to Mu Jinyu, instead, she communicated telepathically, "The main reason VIP rooms are so expensive and comparable to the price of a ticket is because, should this sea ship encounter danger in the Forbidden Dead Sea and get destroyed by Sea Beasts, those in other rooms would almost certainly perish, sinking into the sea!"
"But the VIP room acts like a smaller sea ship, and as long as the Sea Beast doesn’t crush the wreck into dust, those inside it have a high chance of surviving among the floating ship fragments, maintaining control and proceeding forward!"
"For example, if our current sea ship is a larger Creation Divine Weapon, then your room is a smaller Creation Divine Weapon!"
"Therefore, staying inside makes it several times safer!"
After saying this, the cool woman’s eyes bore into Mu Jinyu’s, her voice low, "Now, do you understand why I want to stay in the VIP room?"
"Oh, is that so..."
Mu Jinyu, after listening, finally understood why she approached him despite her shyness to suggest staying together.
Even offering to split the room cost!
Indeed, the safety of the VIP room was exceedingly high!
Then Mu Jinyu realized why the cool woman came to find him at this moment.
Surely it was due to the Sea Beast earlier devouring a few people on the deck, stirring her concern for safety, prompting her eagerness to take refuge in his room.
"Alright, come in!"
In the end, Mu Jinyu agreed to let her stay.
"Thank you!"
The cool woman slightly exhaled in relief and thanked Mu Jinyu before entering the room, closing the door behind her.
Subsequently, she offered to give Mu Jinyu Source Stones.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu motioned with his hand, "No need, last time you covered the cost for teleportation. I came here with you at no expense; this time it’s on me, haha..."
With a sudden smile, Mu Jinyu shook his head and added, "Or rather, it’s not even on me. I didn’t actually spend a single Source Stone to stay here!"
"Hmm?"
The cool woman was caught off guard by Mu Jinyu’s words.
Her expression shifted to one of contemplation.
She secretly sensed that Mu Jinyu’s words hinted at something significant, hinting at him possibly defeating the City Lord of Zhenhai City.
However, the cool woman didn’t dwell on it long, insisting on giving Mu Jinyu the Source Stones.
Mu Jinyu, having already received Source Stones from her once before, did not feel entitled to accept them this time, as he contributed nothing.
When Mu Jinyu arrived at West Sea State, he appeared to be calculative and eager for Source Stones.
In truth, he didn’t attach great importance to Source Stones!
He merely disliked being taken advantage of, or seen as a fool.
This was the same reason he spared the life of the Zhenhai City Lord without taking his possessions.
At the moment, he didn’t want the cool woman’s Source Stones either, as long as there was a sufficient reason, he’d allow her to stay!
Of course, she mustn’t disturb him!
"Phew!!"
Amidst their discussion, suddenly, they both felt the sky outside the window darken, and they found it difficult to breathe.
It felt as though their hearts were being gripped by an invisible gigantic hand!
