The hotel's private room was elegant and luxurious.
On Luo Yu's left sat Xue Wu.
To his right was Shui Yue'er, whose smooth legs kept brushing against him from under the table, giving Luo Yu the distinct impression that her beautiful legs were sticking close to him.
His legs might have been inconvenient, but that didn't mean he was without sensation.
If not for his firm will, he would have been tempted to commit a crime by now.
What's more, behind him was Huo Wu, constantly brushing against his neck to peek over, her hands reaching to help Luo Yu with the dishes, her spicy red dress provocatively appealing.
Luo Yu felt that with just a slight turn of his face, he could kiss those lush, dripping red lips.
He was being tantalized to the point of restlessness on this side.
On the other side, Shui Bing'er, dressed in mature ice-blue stockings, and Ming Mei in her cute white silk outfit, weren't feeling too pleased either.
Because they could only watch helplessly as Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, and Huo Wu continued to draw close to the man, while their own seats were too far for any maneuvering.
If they were to rashly walk over, it would seem too abrupt.
Not every girl had the courage to boldly confess like Huo Wu did—most were still very reserved and subtle, only able to silently fume and curse themselves for not securing a better position in advance.
While everyone was enjoying their meal and making small talk, they got to know a bit more about each other.
And Luo Yu was undoubtedly the center of attention.
He didn't rush to reveal his identity, preferring to remain Luo Xixi.
During the conversation, Luo Yu's confidence, grace, and humorous wit provided the girls with a relaxed chatting experience, eliciting clear and pleasant laughter now and then.
And the thrum of excitement deep in the girls' hearts grew ever more pronounced.
Luo Yu had just put a forkful of stir-fried bamboo shoots into his mouth when his expression suddenly changed.
Initially, Xue Wu had been idly rubbing against his elbow, very gently.
Shui Yue'er only occasionally grazed his calf with her beautiful leg.
But then it seemed as if the two were competing with each other.
Their actions became increasingly bold.
Under the table, his calves were entwined by smooth, ivory legs.
Luo Yu took a deep breath.
He couldn't let these two girls go on like this.
If they continued, there would be trouble.
He suddenly pointed to the door.
"Look over there!" he exclaimed.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Eight beauties with different charms all turned their gaze to the door at once.
By now, the women had returned their attention to the table.
Ming Mei pouted her cherry lips, "Brother Luo is just fooling us, there's nothing at the door."
Luo Yu said innocently, "Don't frame me, I just said to look over there, I never mentioned anything specific."
"Uh," Ming Mei was at a loss for words.
Shui Bing'er asked curiously, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, sister, I'm just tired from standing all day."
Shui Yue'er was bending over, her hand sneaking under the table to rub her thigh.
She shot Luo Yu a resentful glance—this man had really pinched her quite hard a moment ago.
Xue Wu looked at Luo Yu with a pitiful expression, as if she were on the verge of tears.
The corners of Luo Yu's mouth lifted slightly.
His eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, he did not look at the aggrieved and resentful expressions on the two women's faces.
Shui Bing'er inquired, "Brother Luo, I wonder if you have a place to stay after dinner?"
"I do," Luo Yu nodded.
"That's too bad. I had planned to arrange for you to stay at this hotel."
"Too bad?" Luo Yu wondered.
Shui Bing'er blinked, "If you were to stay here, it would be convenient for us to find you."
"You still want to find me?"
Shui Bing'er's calm and serene face showed admiration, "Of course. You're so amazing, we have a lot to learn from you."
"Learning in a room?" Luo Yu looked bemused.
"Yes."
Shui Bing'er nodded, completely unaware of the weird point that Luo Yu found.
Luo Yu felt Shui Yue'er tugged at the hem of his clothes from the side, looking at him eagerly, "Um, we have a rather bold request, and we're wondering if you could grant it."
"You go ahead and ask." Luo Yu didn't rush to agree.
"We would all like to invite you to join the Tianshui Battle Team." Shui Yue'er's face flushed red, a bit embarrassed.
"Tsk, I object. It's clear you just want to win by lying down," Huo Wu protested right away, with a light spitting sound.
Shui Yue'er glared, "I didn't ask you, can you speak for Brother Luo?"
"Of course, I..."
Huo Wu initially glared back defiantly but then her confidence deflated.
"Of course, I can't speak for him."
The seven girls of the Heavenly Water Girl Group waited expectantly for Luo Yu's response.
Feeling anxious.
Luo Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"I'll agree to your request."
"It's not impossible, but..."
Shui Bing'er quickly pressed, "But what? We sisters will do anything you ask."
Luo Yu teased, "Tian Shui City seems a bit damp at night, having a maid to warm the bed would be nice..."
"This..."
The beauties' expressions paused momentarily.
Then, their gaze unanimously turned to Shui Yue'er.
Shui Yue'er spoke with a red face and without words, "Why are you all looking at us?"
Shui Bing'er said earnestly, "Yue'er, the honorable task of warming Brother Luo's bed should fall to you."
"This is the organization's trust in you, do a good job, Yue'er." Xue Wu chuckled playfully on the side.
Shui Yue'er found herself in a mental struggle.
She had plenty of fondness for Luo Yu, but warming his bed directly was still a coy and shy affair.
Actually, it wasn't impossible, but she feared Luo Yu would think of her as an easy woman.
Just as she bit her lip and looked up, ready to respond,
Huo Wu cut in, "Brother Luo, I can be the one to warm your bed."
"You see this Heavenly Water Girl Group? They all specialize in water attributes. How can they warm a bed properly?"
"But as a fire attribute Soul Master, I guarantee to make your bed warm and toasty."
Seeing the women were about to start a war of words, Luo Yu quickly intervened.
"I was just kidding before."
"No need to warm the bed."
"Let's talk about other benefits, otherwise wouldn't I be at a loss."
Shui Bing'er blinked, "If you join the Tianshui Academy, you'll be the first man in the history of the academy to join."
"Our academy has several hundred female students, and each one is a beauty chosen from a hundred miles around."
"During the match today, the headmaster and teachers kept them from coming out, so you missed the chance to see them."
Ming Mei tempted, "Brother Luo, if you're willing to join Tianshui, Ming Mei can massage your shoulders and beat your legs for you every day."
Yi Na added from the side, "I'm pretty good at dancing. Brother Luo, if you want to watch, I can dance for you anytime."
"I excel at playing the flute. If Brother Luo wants to listen, I can play for you," Mo Xue said with a gentle smile.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth from the sidelines.
Shameless, this Tianshui Battle Team is too shameless.
They're actually using these sugar-coated shells to woo the man she likes.
She suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.
There was only one of her, but there were seven of them.
Shui Yue'er said, "Brother Luo, after practicing together every day, we can also go out for a drink, Yue'er hasn't had a drink yet."
"With you there, I won't be afraid of running into bad guys after drinking."
Luo Yu thought to himself.
Once you drink too much, I might become the biggest bad guy...
