While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System - Chapter 535
Entering a chain of a very famed and luxurious hotel that was known throughout the country, as soon as Su Lan came inside, she was treated like a queen.
It was clear that she had some sort of powerful background and it explained why the Branch Master warned Adam about her family.
However, Su Lan also didn’t seem to be truly respected by those that served her who had disdainful looks in their eyes despite sucking up to her when she entered.
“Prepare a private hall for me and my companion, and provide us with all your best dishes and drinks. And just put everything on my tab,” she instructed the manager after she greeted her respectfully.
Envy and hatred were burning in the eyes of the young manager of the hotel who seemed to know Su Lan and hold a personal grudge against her, but she couldn’t do anything but not her head and obey her.
Adam just watched from beside her with an amused expression and there was much more to Su Lan than what she gave off, especially since she seemed to have so many enemies and haters despite her talent and beauty.
Although it was inevitable for people to envy her position and talent, the hate that Adam saw in the eyes of many was too deep-rooted to be mere jealousy.
Sitting down quietly in the waiting area for a minute or so, Adam just observed as the atmosphere became very tense, especially between some of the employees and Su Lan.
Looking at her, it was clear that she had begun regretting her decision to bring Adam there, but she also wanted to give him the best meal she could, and the Grand Su Hotel was definitely was one of the best places that the region and even the country had to offer.
Obviously, Adam had noticed that the hotel was named after her family since it had the same surname as her, but he decided to ask her about it later.
What he wanted to do instead was fuel the rumours even more and have some fun.
“Will we also be staying here, darling?” asked Adam, just loud enough for most around them to hear.
Knowing that their relationship wasn’t like that, Su Lan turned to see that Adam had a smile on his face and was clearly just teasing her and trying to cause her trouble.
But two can play at that game.
“No, but don’t worry, I have a spare room for you and your boyfriend,” she responded, matching Adam’s smile and energy.
Hearing that Adam couldn’t help but laugh and admit that she had beaten them there, while those around them began to spark new rumours.
The dark horse and Su Lan don’t actually have an intimate relationship, and Liao Wei has a boyfriend who is Gong Yunru.
People quickly came to conclusions, but this was too much.
Adam honestly couldn’t care less and it wasn’t like it was actually staining his reputation, but the same couldn’t be said for Gong Yunru.
Within the hour the rumours had reached him, and despite being an admirer of Su Lan, he was satisfied with Adam being her partner after witnessing his capability and also being helped by him.
But since when was he in a gay relationship with him?!
That was too far, and his family didn’t seem to be against it, which infuriated him even further.
He had no one else to blame but Adam, also known as Liao Wei, and the rumours made him train even harder, vowing to crush Adam for ruining his chances with the ladies that used to hoard around him.
The attention of the ladies was what he adored and sought when he fought in tournaments and displayed his talents, and now Adam had ruined that for him.
Although he had changed and was more focused on his training than ever before, obviously he still enjoyed basking in the attention and adoration of beautiful women.
Rumours spread quickly and with cultivation being at the centre of society in this country, all attention was on the regional tournaments that took place around the country, with the names of the winners being announced to the public.
And everyone couldn’t help but be excited for the nationals, including Gong Yunru who was now not only seeking redemption, but vengeance.
Meanwhile, Adam and Su Lan had entered the private hall that was prepared for them and he couldn’t help but be impressed.
The hall was large with enough seats and space to fit a group of over 20, while it had giant, extravagant chandeliers that hung from the ceiling that stood out, but weren’t overbearing.
It was magnificent.
And on the table, there was a variety of aged vintage wines that Adam assumed were very expensive.
The table was so long and large that it was quite weird for two people to eat at it and position themselves in a way they could eat comfortably, but still talk between themselves.
They ended up sitting opposite each other towards the centre of the giant table.
After literally reformatting her body, and after granting Adam complete control over their body, it was hard for the two of them to feel awkward or uncomfortable around each other, despite them knowing each other for less than a day.
Quickly the two of them made themselves comfortable as Adam grabbed one of the bottles of wine and read its label.
“Have you ever drank before?” he asked her, seeing all the different alcoholic beverages before them.
She shook her head while responding, “Have you?”
“No. But if you haven’t drunk before, why did you order so much of this stuff?”
“Well, I thought that you might have wanted them…” she answered.
Sighing, Adam suggested that they both tried some together with a mischievous smile.
There was no better time than the present to try things, and looking at Su Lan, she didn’t seem to be against it.
