Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Men and Women Should Not Touch Each Other in Giving and Receiving

Yuxi Town!

Located just outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains, this place gives off a sense of isolation from the world. By all logic, it should have been poor and backward, with various basic facilities and amenities lacking.

However.

The reality was quite the opposite.

Yuxi Town was bustling with activity.

Even as a small mountain town, its level of prosperity was on par with that of a county city. If someone claimed it was the county seat of a developed county, there probably wouldn’t be many people who would doubt it.

The only aspect where it couldn’t compare with a county city was its smaller scale, despite being prosperous.

"This is Yuxi Town. People who want to visit the Medicine God Temple generally stop here, and those who know of the Medicine God Temple are basically either rich or noble, with significant backgrounds, willing to spend money like water. This is also why Yuxi Town is so prosperous," Zhou Ye said as he drove the car, with Li Zong sitting in the passenger seat, and Su Luo and An Ran in the back. Upon their arrival at Yuxi Town, An Ran took the initiative to explain this to Su Luo.

"Who would have thought that there’d be such a thriving town deep in the mountains," Zhou Ye also widened his eyes in amazement.

"It is indeed quite inconceivable," Su Luo added.

From An Ran’s words, he had also learned that Yuxi Town used to be just a village, called Yuxi Village, until its name was changed later on.

They entered Yuxi Town in the evening.

"Let’s stay here tonight and inquire about the location of the Medicine God Temple. We can proceed into the mountains tomorrow morning," An Ran suggested.

After all, An Ran only knew that the Medicine God Temple was within the Hundred Thousand Mountains and that it could be accessed through Yuxi Town. However, she had never been to the Medicine God Temple and didn’t know its exact location in the mountains.

Moreover, according to An Ran, the location of the Medicine God Temple was certainly guarded by an array to prevent outsiders from trespassing.

Thus, the chances of finding the Medicine God Temple by sheer luck were practically nil.

"Alright," Su Luo agreed.

However, after they entered Yuxi Town, they tried several hotels in succession, only to find that they were all fully booked.

Crucially, the buildings in Yuxi Town were generally not tall and were provided for the visiting elite, following a high-end approach. Even the hotels were mostly designed as villas or manor houses.

The capacity for guests was, naturally, limited.

"We’ve already checked six hotels, all fully booked. Why are there so many people in Yuxi Town? It’s really odd," An Ran wondered.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Zong suddenly said, "Miss, I remember now that this time of year is when the Medicine God Temple opens up quotas for requesting elixirs. Many people come here, hoping to obtain divine elixirs. It just so happens that we’ve arrived at this time."

"No wonder, I was just thinking why there were so many people," An Ran pouted.

Only then did Su Luo and the others realize that the Medicine God Temple did not exclusively interact with the nobility. They also provided elixirs to ordinary people, though of course, those who knew of and could find the Medicine God Temple were not ordinary by any means.

In any case, the Medicine God Temple would open up quotas for those unable to directly communicate with the temple, giving them a chance to request elixirs.

They had just happened to arrive at this time.

"This actually works out perfectly. We can avoid the trouble of looking for the Medicine God Temple and can follow these people to find it," Su Luo said.

Of course, there was another thing he didn’t say aloud.

That was... if all else failed, they could also take this opportunity to capture someone from the Medicine God Temple and force the temple’s location out of them, given that he had already concocted the Oblivion Pill.

This elixir, once consumed, would cause a person to temporarily forget past events, thus preventing any slip-ups.

However, since this was the Medicine God Temple’s territory, and it was likely that there were experts hidden about, Su Luo wouldn’t rashly conflict with anyone from the Medicine God Temple unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Miss, would you like me to get in touch with them..." Li Zong looked towards An Ran as he asked.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw An Ran gently shake her head, so he stopped and said no more.

In fact, if An Ran wanted to visit the Medicine God Temple, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome at all. She could have just made contact using the name of the An Family of the Capital City.

Even though Su Luo knew he could use the influence of the An Family, he did not bring it up, and neither did An Ran take the initiative to mention it.

Li Zong knew that Su Luo did not want to trouble the An Family, and the young miss was following Su Luo’s lead, not overstepping her bounds, which was a show of respect for Su Luo.

"Hello, do you have any rooms available?"

As Su Luo and his group arrived at the seventh hotel, they asked the front desk.

"Sir, hello, we have two rooms available, both are double rooms," replied the receptionist with a polite smile after checking.

"Only two left?" Su Luo frowned.

"Yes, sir, only two available now, and both require a higher price for the reservation! If you need to book a room, you should consider it quickly, or they may be taken by others soon," the receptionist warned.

"Let’s book these two rooms then!" An Ran said directly.

"Alright, then Master Li, Old Zhou, and I will share one room and you’ll have the other," Su Luo could only agree, otherwise, if they continued searching for a hotel, they might end up without a single room and have to spend the night outside.

"Three grown men in one room, and it’s the kind with only one bed, can you handle that?" An Ran quirked her lips.

"It’s just for one night," Su Luo didn’t seem to mind, as they just needed a place to stay, not necessarily to sleep.

He could simply meditate and cultivate.

"No way, we can’t just make do, you’ll share a room with me." An Ran decided, promptly booked both rooms, and pulled Su Luo along with her.

Su Luo was slightly embarrassed, "But..."

An Ran cut him off with a single sentence, "Brother Su Luo, I don’t mind sharing a room with you, so why are you being shy? Unless you have some ulterior motives for me?"

"Certainly not," Su Luo said immediately.

"If not, then what are you nervous about? Unless you have mixed feelings about me!" An Ran giggled.

Su Luo: "..."

"Don’t men and women need to keep their distance, isn’t that still the case?" Su Luo said in resignation.

Suddenly leaning in close, An Ran whispered, "Then how come you didn’t talk about men and women keeping their distance that time at the Jinling Hotel when you kissed and hugged me?"

Su Luo’s expression instantly stiffened.

Li Zong, following behind, also froze. Had Miss An and Su Luo already advanced to this stage, with touching, kissing, and hugging?

Should he report this to the Family Head?

The change in Li Zong’s expression was, of course, caught by Su Luo, which made him feel utterly embarrassed in an instant. He was sure that Li Zong, a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster, must have heard what An Ran said.

Not just Li Zong, at this moment, Zhou Ye also wore an expression of utmost admiration, "Mr. Su is truly Mr. Su, to have even won over Miss An, making her throw herself at him; I can’t hold a candle to that."

Su Luo held his forehead.

He was truly beyond redemption now.

The key was, he couldn’t even explain it. Who would believe that he had been provoked by An Ran’s words and indeed had taken her into his arms and kissed her?
