"Heh, then I'll grant it to you," Yaoyao turned her head and looked at the snake demon behind her, "Boss, what do you think?"
The snake demon pondered for a moment, cupped his hands, and said, "I hope Your Highness can temporarily shelter us."
"Alright, everyone, get in the car," Yaoyao said cheerfully. In truth, I could see that Yaoyao wanted to bring these demons along, she was just playing hard to get, putting on an act.
Six demons squeezed into Shen Xingyue's Audi. Old Ba and the tiger demon joined our car. I was driving the Pajero and was about to turn around when I suddenly saw the Audi start and drive into the cornfield!
"Damn it, Lao Er doesn't know how to drive!" the tiger demon exclaimed.
Helpless, I had to hand the Pajero over to Zheng Bingbing and go drive the Audi out. Lao Er, the deer demon, sheepishly got into the Pajero, muttering as he went, "It looked so simple..."
Perhaps she remembered Shen Xingyue's movements when she was in the Audi and understood the uses of those four-wheel drive gears. She didn't expect that actually operating it still required a feel for the accelerator and brake pedals, otherwise, why have driving schools? They could just issue a driving manual.
Besides Lao Si in the back seat and Lao Da in the passenger seat, the others in my car were "strangers."
Sharing a car with five demons, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. I sat up straight, drove seriously, and soon left the Huā Lóu Reservoir area, returning to the main road. Zheng Bingbing called and said Yaoyao wanted us to pull over at the intersection three hundred meters ahead.
Not long after we pulled over, over a dozen police cars sped past on the road behind us.
Back on the road, I had no say in the matter anymore. As an ordinary human, my status was too low. I could only call Zheng Bingbing again to ask Yaoyao for instructions on where to go next.
Yaoyao said, "Take a detour back to Fucheng. Let's find a place to rest first. I need to recover my abilities."
With Yaoyao as a living radar, it was easy to evade all pursuit. However, the frequent stops slowed down our speed considerably. It was almost three in the morning when we finally returned to Fucheng city. We found an inconspicuous hotel on the northern outskirts of the city. But hotels require ID cards. Once my and Bingbing's identities were registered online, the police would find us instantly.
I thought for a moment, took Lao Ba with me, got out of the car, and circled the hotel. I found their power supply line and had Lao Ba climb up and break the wire with a single strike. The hotel was instantly plunged into darkness. Fortunately, it was late at night and the guests were asleep, so it didn't cause a commotion.
After the power outage, I led everyone into the dark hotel. The hotel owner was on the phone with the power company. An emergency light was on at the front desk. Seeing a large group of people, the owner initially refused to let them stay. But when he realized they were a group of beautiful women, he immediately greeted them with a smile, saying the hotel only had five rooms left and they could have them all at a slightly lower price.
I said it was not necessary to reduce the price, we were a live-streaming team and didn't lack money. I gave him ten thousand and asked him not to register IDs, as it was troublesome.
The owner might have misunderstood, thinking they were girls offering special services. He chuckled ambiguously.
I hoped the owner would be honest. If he had "special" intentions later and barged into any room, the consequences might be quite grim.
Undoubtedly, Yaoyao and I shared a room. Zheng Bingbing, afraid of being eaten while sleeping, chose a room by herself. For the other three rooms, I gave the room cards to the demons to distribute as they pleased. Even the shabbiest hotel rooms were far better than their dark and damp caves.
Upon arriving at the room, Yaoyao impatiently began to, well, replenish her energy with me. After all, she had fought several people just now and her magic power had been significantly depleted.
Afterwards, Yaoyao didn't linger. She got up, sat by the window, and crossed her legs. Her demeanor suggested that if she were to speak, it might be: "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you."
I was hungry and went to the front desk to buy two cups of instant noodles. Back in the room, I also needed to replenish my energy. Because the five rooms were connected and the windows were open, Lao Si from the adjacent room smelled the food and crawled over through the window. He shared a bowl of my noodles and, while eating, asked me why I had made such loud noises earlier.
