Chapter 44: A Carefully Prepared Gift

Stepping out of the cafeteria, Li Moxuan looked up at the boundless, clear blue sky of Wushi University and let out a deep sigh of relief.

The cafeteria aunt's words had shone like a ray of bright light directly into his heart.

Right!

Perhaps, there was still a one-in-a-million chance in this world.

Gu Yaqing was the true love of his life.

He absolutely refused to allow himself to lose her.

Even if he failed in the end, he would have no regrets left.

The path of cultivation was just like this: act according to one's true nature, follow the promptings of one's heart!

Seeking only to let nature take its course, leaving the Great Dao formless!

Li Moxuan took out his phone and dialed Gu Yaqing's number.

It was still her original number.

Surprisingly, the call went through.

Had Gu Yaqing not changed her number?

Previously, Li Moxuan hadn't had the courage to call.

Besides, it was possible the number belonged to someone else now.

After calling a few times, no one answered.

The calls were being hung up.

Li Moxuan kept trying.

After dozens of consecutive calls, a recorded message finally came through stating that the number was powered off.

It was her!

Li Moxuan felt a mixture of astonishment and deep shame.

"She hasn't changed, she hasn't changed her number, she is still the same as before!"

This discovery filled Li Moxuan with overwhelming joy and pleasant surprise.

The only pity was that Gu Yaqing still hadn't answered his call.

Yet, this alone was enough to rekindle hope deep within Li Moxuan's heart.

Right at that moment, Li Moxuan's phone rang.

Thinking it was a call back from Gu Yaqing, Li Moxuan's heart surged with ecstasy.

He looked closely at the screen.

However, the name displayed was Xiang Peng.

Li Moxuan's face instantly fell.

"Hello? What do you want?" Li Moxuan asked in an irritated tone.

Xiang Peng chuckled brightly over the phone and said, "Master Li, I have a gift I want to give you!"

"What gift?" Li Moxuan asked, feeling somewhat curious.

"Just come over, it's a surprise!" Xiang Peng's tone carried a hint of mystery.

Anyway, he had nothing better to do right now.

"Fine then, let's see what tricks you're up to!"

...

Wushi Grand Hotel.

One of the top ten seven-star hotels within the borders of China.

Luxurious yet understated, resplendent and magnificent.

Any random room cost upwards of five digits.

As for the presidential suite, it went for one hundred thousand a night.

Even so, it wasn't something you could book simply by having money.

Those who stayed here were either immensely wealthy or of noble birth.

The hotel also operated on a membership basis; only members could enjoy the services here.

Following the address Xiang Peng gave him, Li Moxuan located the place.

Inside the hotel parking lot, there was a uniform sea of supercars.

Bentleys, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins.

As for Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, they didn't even qualify to enter this place.

The entrance of the hotel was bustling with a continuous stream of visitors.

Everyone was dressed exquisitely, surrounded by entourages.

Clearly, they were all people of great wealth and status.

A doorman stepped forward to block Li Moxuan's path.

"Sir, our establishment operates on a membership basis. Please show your membership card."

The doorman cast a somewhat skeptical glance at Li Moxuan, whose attire was plain to the point of being shabby.

Li Moxuan immediately dropped Xiang Peng's name.

"Xiang Peng asked me to come!"

The doorman trembled all over from fright.

"You must be Mr. Li Moxuan? This way, please!"

A few voluptuous female attendants dressed in black silk stockings instantly swarmed around him.

One of them even took the initiative to link her arm through Li Moxuan's, guiding him up to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Wushi Grand Hotel.

Inside the elevator, the female attendants kept casting seductive winks at Li Moxuan, hinting that they were capable of anything and guaranteed to satisfy all his special preferences.

However, Li Moxuan kept his gaze fixed straight ahead, pretending not to notice.

Upon entering the room, he saw Xiang Peng and Liu Hua sitting together with a deck of playing cards, playing a game.

Seeing that Li Moxuan had arrived, Xiang Peng hurried over to greet him enthusiastically.

"Master Li, you've finally made it! Come on, let's play cards!"

"Huh?"

"You called me over saying you had a gift, and it turns out to be just playing cards? In a presidential suite at a seven-star hotel? Are you out of your mind?"

Xiang Peng wasn't offended in the least; instead, he chuckled and said, "All good things take time. The gift naturally exists—just wait a moment!"

Liu Hua smiled and chimed in, "That's right, since Master Li is here, the three of us can finally play Fight the Landlord!"

Li Moxuan shot a disdainful look at the two of them.

Playing Fight the Landlord with two grown men? What fun was that?

At the very least, it should be a tense and exciting game of Aeroplane Chess where clothes served as the wager!

That fellow Xiang Peng couldn't possibly be bored enough to actually just play cards.

Without asking further, Li Moxuan thought to himself: *Fine, let's see what these two fellows are up to.*

Before long, Xiang Peng and Liu Hua's faces were plastered all over with slips of paper.

Li Moxuan looked at them and asked, "You two... surely don't intend to play cards until dark, do you?"

"Are you two okay? If you're not going to speak up, I'm leaving!"

These two rascals had been playing for ages without talking about any serious business; they were genuinely just playing cards.

Xiang Peng glanced at his watch and nodded with satisfaction.

"It should be about time."

Liu Hua pulled a room card out of his bag.

"Master Li, everything is prepared. It's in suite number ten on the floor above. You'll understand as soon as you go in!"

Only then did Li Moxuan's expression soften slightly. So they had just been stalling for time.

"Acting all mysterious!"

Xiang Peng patted Li Moxuan on the shoulder.

"Go on, we guarantee Master Li will be satisfied!"

"It'll definitely make Master Li happy!"

"What on earth is it?"

The more Xiang Peng hyped it up, the more curious Li Moxuan became.

Could it be that Xiang Peng managed to acquire some rare spiritual herbs or spirit stones? Or perhaps a cultivation technique?

What kind of thing could Xiang Peng possibly get his hands on that would catch his eye?

Seeing that Li Moxuan was still guessing, Xiang Peng urged him on.

"Why don't you go up and see for yourself?"

"We'll be heading out first, then."

Li Moxuan nodded and headed upstairs.

*Beep...*

Arriving at presidential suite number ten, he pushed the door open.

Inside, the lighting was dim, casting a seductive, peach-pink glow.

A wave of intoxicating fragrance washed over him.

Just as Li Moxuan was wondering what was going on, ten ravishing figures stepped out from the bedroom.

Li Moxuan's jaw dropped in utter astonishment.

Standing before him were ten women dressed in alluring, brightly colored erotic lingerie of white, black, yellow, purple, and red.

Their slender, fair legs were encased in black, white, flesh-colored, blue, and purple silk stockings, alongside fishnets and classic thick-black aesthetics.

The breathtaking, plump mounds of snowy white on their chests bounced wildly before Li Moxuan's eyes, almost dazzlingly bright.

A sight like this was enough to make any man go wild on the spot, his attack speed and critical hit rate instantly maximizing.

He ought to have lunged forward with a wild roar of ecstatic joy.

Yet, the scene before him simply left Li Moxuan stunned.

What was the meaning of this?

The gift that rascal Xiang Peng mentioned turned out to be this?

Li Moxuan couldn't help but exclaim in exasperation, "What the hell, that rascal Xiang Peng played me!"

"So his idea of a gift was this!"

"No way, I've got to go settle the score with him."

With that, Li Moxuan turned to leave.

Among the group of beauties, Zhou莉 was actually present.

Wearing a grey outfit and sporting slender legs wrapped in grey silk stockings, Zhou莉 quickly stepped forward to block Li Moxuan's path.

"Master Li, don't leave yet. This was all arranged by President Xiang."

"We're doing this completely of our own free will. You didn't accept our thanks the last time we said we wanted to show our appreciation!"

"Since it worked out this way, why don't you stay and have some fun with me and the other girls?"

The other girls were equally excited, trying their utmost to detain Li Moxuan.

Xiang Peng had promised them that if they served Master Li comfortably this time, each of them would be rewarded with one million yuan.

If Li Moxuan left, that money would undoubtedly go down the drain.

Thus, a flock of chattering beauties crowded around Li Moxuan, desperately displaying their charms.

"Don't go, Master Li."

"We can play however you like."

"That's right, we're really good at it! We guarantee to make you satisfied."

"Does Master Li find our figures unsatisfactory?"

Some of the women even lifted their clothes directly, exposing themselves right before Li Moxuan's eyes in hopes of arousing his interest.

Frowning, Li Moxuan pushed his way through them.

"This is sheer nonsense!"

Pushing open the door, Li Moxuan walked right out.

The women hurriedly threw on robes and chased after him.

"Master Li, don't leave!"

Chasing him down the hallway, the women grabbed at his clothes.

One woman even seized the opportunity to start unbuckling Li Moxuan's belt.

They were genuinely planning to consummate things right there in the hallway.

"If you people keep this up, don't blame me for getting rough!"

A beauty in black silk embraced him from behind.

"Wonderful, then let's go back to the bed and get rough, shall we? You can be as rough as you want..."

Just as Li Moxuan was preparing to use his abilities to shake them off, three figures suddenly emerged into the corridor.

Li Moxuan froze instantly in his tracks.

Because one of those figures was none other than Gu Yaqing.

At that moment, Gu Yaqing was looking at Li Moxuan with a completely bewildered expression.

Li Moxuan's eyes widened in horror.

He felt as though the world had gone dark before him.

He wished he could find a brick and smash his brains out.

It was over. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River now, he would never wash this clean.
