CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 185: OPEN YOUR EYES

Luo Chen couldn’t help but smile faintly, "I thought you were talking about real dinosaurs. But speaking of which, we’re on a mission now, not here to enjoy ourselves. This place may be a bit rudimentary, but it’s hidden and not easily noticed. You should know why we’re here, right?"

Upon hearing Luo Chen’s words, Zhao Dongfang turned his head away with a bit of dissatisfaction, but he stopped complaining. He understood Luo Chen’s point and realized he was indeed being too picky.

Zhao Dongfang chuckled awkwardly, "To be honest, while Carefree Meng Lan does have an outstanding aura, her looks... she’s truly an extreme case of ugly." Luo Chen, understanding the implication, just smiled knowingly and followed Thunderstorm into the room without saying more.

Thunderstorm only booked two rooms, Zhao Dongfang got one to himself, while he and Luo Chen shared the other. Zhao Dongfang was a bit displeased by this, but when he thought about not having to pay, he let it go. However, when he found out that Luo Chen was the one who paid for the rooms, he put on an exaggeratedly wronged expression, insisting that next time Thunderstorm should pay.

The rooms were simple but tidy. After entering, Thunderstorm immediately laid a mat on the floor to rest, saying nothing. Luo Chen felt a bit uneasy about taking the bed while Thunderstorm slept on the floor, but knowing Thunderstorm’s quiet nature, he didn’t protest.

Night fell, and the city lights illuminated. Luo Chen stood by the second-floor window, gazing out at the night view of Nadas City. The streets were adorned with a myriad of colorful lights, bustling with crowds and lively scenes. The daytime prosperity continued into the night, even more splendid and dazzling. Stores, which had no visitors during the day, were opening one after another, attracting tourists from all directions to indulge.

Thunderstorm lay quietly on the floor mat, hands behind his head, eyes closed in deep relaxation. His breathing was steady and strong, as if he were in a deep sleep. Luo Chen, on the other hand, was the opposite, leaning against the window, his eyes bright as he watched the bustling street below. The multicolored lights, the constant shouts, the comings and goings of the crowd... it all made him feel unusually excited.

He really wanted to go out for a walk and personally experience the city’s prosperity and liveliness. However, when he glanced back at Thunderstorm, he found the latter showed no sign of wanting to move, seemingly isolated from the world, entering a world all his own.

While indecisiveness was brewing inside Luo Chen, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhao Dongfang’s audacious yet slightly excited voice followed, "Hey handsome, you in there? Let’s go for a stroll together!"

Luo Chen felt a stir inside, the lure of street outings was too overwhelming. He couldn’t resist looking at Thunderstorm, hoping for a nod or an approving look. However, Thunderstorm remained eyes closed, seemingly unaware of the activity outside the door. Just when Luo Chen thought Thunderstorm wouldn’t respond, he spoke indifferently, "If you want to go, then go. You have two hours."

Luo Chen was overjoyed, promptly replied with "Okay," and eagerly opened the door, embarking on a night tour of Nadas City with Zhao Dongfang.

The two weaved through the bustling streets, Zhao Dongfang clearly a seasoned traveler, familiar with everything around. He introduced Luo Chen to various local snacks and delicacies, as well as some unique shops and entertainment venues. Luo Chen felt as if he were in a whole new world, filled with curiosity and surprise at everything around him.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the allocated two hours had passed. Luo Chen and Zhao Dongfang, still wanting more, returned to the inn entrance only to find Thunderstorm standing there waiting for them. Seeing them return, Thunderstorm merely nodded slightly, then turned and entered the inn. Luo Chen knew this was his way of showing acceptance and approval, and a warm feeling rose inside him. This night was destined to be unforgettable for him—not just because of the splendor and beauty of Nadas City, but because of having such extraordinary companions by his side.

Inwardly pleased, Luo Chen did his best to remain calm on the surface. He gently said, "Then I’m leaving, you have a good rest..." Before finishing his words, he had already turned and walked briskly, trying not to seem hurried, towards the door. The moment his hand touched the doorknob, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited as if the world beyond the door awaited his discovery.

Opening the door, Luo Chen immediately saw Zhao Dongfang standing at the entrance. Zhao Dongfang had evidently dressed up, looking quite dignified and spirited. Upon seeing Luo Chen, his face broke into a bright smile, warmly greeting him, "Hey, I knew you’d be eager to go out and play too. Just as well, I’m very familiar with this place; today, I’ll be your free tour guide and show you around Nadas City!"

"Tour guide? What’s a tour guide?" Luo Chen asked with some confusion.

Zhao Dongfang laughed proudly, "A tour guide is someone who takes you around to play. Speaking of playing, who can compare to me, Zhao Dongfang? I might not dare say I’ve been everywhere, but as long as it’s a famous place in the Golden Wind Empire, I definitely know about it! Today, I’ll show you around!"
