Chapter 114: He Was Not Willing
Chapter 114
With Cong Ying\'s help, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the passage.
"All done, I should head back now," Gu Han said, handing the cat demon to Happy Carp to hold.
Gu Wanyin was momentarily stunned, then remembered that their reward from the interstellar journey was to visit one world, and now that they had been to the demon realm, Gu Han couldn\'t go to the apocalyptic world.
"Wanyin, I\'ll really miss you," Gu Han said, holding her hand.
Naturally, Gu Wanyin felt reluctant to part as well.
Even though they had only spent these two days together, it felt as if they had been close friends for many years.
"I hope we can meet again in the future."
"We definitely will," Gu Wanyin said, squeezing her hand.
"Yes! You should hurry back now, don\'t delay the treatment for Nine-tails and the others. My passage is just over there, I need to go too."
"Alright... goodbye."
Gu Han turned and left. Gu Wanyin took one last long look at her retreating figure before turning and entering the passage herself.
Cong Ying let them all enter first, with himself being the last.
Just as he was about to enter the passage, he turned his head for a final glance and suddenly his expression changed. He said, "Not good, the rebels are catching up! If they also go to the hotel..."
"It\'s fine," Gu Wanyin smiled, "You don\'t need to worry."
Seeing her smile, Cong Ying felt inexplicably reassured.
He didn\'t say anything more and stepped into the passage.
Soon after, the rebel army also arrived at the passage.
"Leader, entering through this passage will take us to that hotel," a small demon said ingratiatingly. "I bet not only those two dead girls and Nine-tails are there, but the Demon King must also be hiding in the hotel."
The rebel leader, Long She, looked at the entrance of the passage with cold eyes.
He was the half-brother of the Demon King Long Yu, sharing the same father but different mothers.
He had originally thought that after their father passed away, the position of Demon King would surely be his.
But he never imagined that their father would pass the throne to his sister Long Yu!
Why? He was clearly the eldest son! Was it because... he was a mixed-blood of dragon and snake, so he had to be inferior to his sister?
He couldn\'t accept it!
So, he endured for hundreds of years, playing the role of a good brother during this time while plotting for hundreds of years... finally waiting for this day!
But it was the hotel on the other side of the passage that completely disrupted all his plans!
He must destroy this hotel, kill Long Yu and all her confidants, and ascend to the Demon King\'s throne!
"Move out!" Long She ordered coldly.
"Yes!"
The rebels entered the passage one by one.
Long She remained at the back, staring at the passage. After all the demons had entered, just as he was about to go in, he saw that the demons who had entered first were coming out one by one.
"What are you doing?" Long She frowned and rebuked, "Who told you to come back?"
"Leader, we, we don\'t know!" The demons were all confused. "We kept walking in the passage, then saw light ahead and walked out! We didn\'t expect..."
They didn\'t expect to return to the demon realm! What was going on?
Long She cursed under his breath. He didn\'t believe it and rushed into the passage himself.
But after a while, he too came back just like the other demons!
"Who\'s playing tricks!" Long She was so angry his face turned ashen.
"We don\'t know either... We were told that entering this passage would lead us to that hotel, but now..."
Who knew why they could walk back out after entering the passage?
...
Meanwhile, Gu Wanyin had already brought Cong Ying, Happy Carp, and the other demons back to the hotel.
"Boss, you\'re back!" Xu Shi happily came to welcome her.
"Nine-tails and the others are seriously injured," Gu Wanyin said. "Let\'s send them to the hospital first."
The hospital had been unlocked earlier because the system had once again won first place.
Although not all doctors and nurses had been recruited yet, the wards, beds, and various facilities were complete.
Moreover, Nine-tails and the others were all in single rooms, so no one else could enter.
By sending them to the hospital wards, others could take care of them.
"I\'ll go buy some recovery pills," Cong Ying said.
When he had just returned to the demon realm, he had picked some celestial flowers and brought back a lot of gold, silver, and jewels, earning quite a few points.
Room cards could only be used by the owner, and now Nine-tails and the others were all unconscious, so they couldn\'t use their own cards to buy medicine.
So only Cong Ying could use his card to make the purchase.
Items bought in the hotel were not allowed to be taken out and resold, but within the hotel, as long as it was voluntary, treating others was allowed.
Cong Ying wasn\'t stingy. Although the pills were expensive, he only wanted to quickly heal the Demon King and his other companions, so he didn\'t hesitate at all.
Soon, he bought three pills that were beneficial for demons\' recovery and returned, feeding one to each of Nine-tails, the tree spirit, and the cat demon.
"These pills are very effective," Xiong Tao said. "After giving one to the Demon King earlier, she immediately regained consciousness!"
"Really? How is she now?" Gu Wanyin asked.
"She\'s in her room, much better now. We booked a family room, and the flower demon is taking care of her inside."
"That\'s good."
Gu Wanyin didn\'t have much interaction with the Demon King, but if she could recover, then Nine-tails and the others would be relieved when they woke up.
"Are you sure the rebels can\'t follow us here?" Cong Ying asked again.
"Don\'t worry, I\'ve already put them all on the hotel\'s blacklist," Gu Wanyin said with a smile.
Anyway, even if the rebels came now, they would only cause trouble and wouldn\'t spend money at the hotel.
After the turmoil in the demon realm was over, she would consider whether to remove them from the blacklist.
Hearing this, a flash of surprise appeared in Cong Ying\'s eyes.
Was this so-called blacklist really that powerful?
What kind of existence was this hotel, exactly?
After taking the pills, Nine-tails and the others gradually regained consciousness and could easily transform into human form.
However, they all still needed more rest.
With other demons around, plus the super effective pills from the hotel, Gu Wanyin wasn\'t too worried. She went to the laboratory to find Zhuang Xiaoxia.
Sure enough, Zhuang Xiaoxia was in the lab.
Gu Wanyin saw her through the glass on the door but didn\'t disturb her. She only knocked when Zhuang Xiaoxia finished an experiment and was about to take a break.
Zhuang Xiaoxia immediately opened the door and came out.
"Boss Gu, you\'re back! I heard you went to the demon realm, was it fun?"
"It was alright," Gu Wanyin said. "I wanted to bring you something... take a look at this."
As she spoke, Gu Wanyin took out the barrier fragment she had picked up earlier from her pocket.
"What\'s this? A piece of glass?"
