Chapter 206


    Lah was very rxed throughout the flight.


    She wasn''t very interested in looking at the scenery—that was why she had let Jonathan sit by the


    window. Not long after, she fell asleep.


    Jonathan stared at the beautiful fluffy clouds in the sky and suddenly felt that life worked in strange


    ways.


    He remembered a quote from Forrest Gump.


    Life is like a box of choctes. You never know what you''re gonna get.


    A year ago, he was on the battlefields in Smend with his men as they ate and drank heartily


    together.


    Then, half a year ago, he reached Horington and had been through so much.


    Although it wasn''t like what he had experienced on the battlefield, the hidden darkness and bloodbath


    were even more terrifying.


    Yet, what he missed the most were the days he spent at the cheap rental ce in Horington, where he


    peeked at Jennifer when thetter was taking a bath.


    The chances one would face in life were really unpredictable.


    He never expected to get married so quickly and be in Divine Realm.


    Jonathan had only be who he was after going through all that.


    Therefore, at that moment, he was excited about the next mission.


    The moment he was engrossed in his thoughts, Lah''s head suddenly leaned onto his shoulder.


    He stiffened up all of a sudden and slowly lowered his head to look at her, who was still sleeping


    soundly.


    Jonathan stayed still for fear that he would wake her up.


    They looked like a couple then.


    He lowered his head and peered in her direction.


    Lah didn''t wear her cardigan that day. Instead, she wore a white, round-neck T-shirt.


    With his head lowered, he could see the inside of the shirt through her cor.


    He hastily nced and caught a glimpse of her fair skin.


    At that moment, all he could hear was his violent heartbeat.


    Back then, he waspletely calm when he peeked at Jennifer because she wasn''t a cultivator. That


    was why he was able to maintain calm when it came to her.


    However, that wasn''t the case with Lah.


    To him, Lah''s identity was very intimidating.


    No. I can''t look anymore! This is immoral!


    Immediately, another voice rang in his head. Bullsh*t! Who are you to talk about morals? How many


    times have you peeked at Jennifer?


    But I''m a married man now!


    So what if you''re married? Peeking at other women doesn''t mean that you''re having an affair!


    All right!


    After a brief internal debate, he finally persuaded himself. Most importantly, he didn''t want to let such a


    great opportunity slip by. If he didn''t seize the opportunity, he wouldn''t be himself anymore.


    This is such an excellent opportunity! I''ll definitely die a terrible death if I let this slip!


    With that, he turned around again and lowered his head slightly before ncing downward. The way he


    swept his gaze across the ce for fear that someone might see him was the same as what a thief


    would do before stealing something.


    Once he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, he let out a relieved breath and looked


    downward.


    Lah wore a ck bra. He waspletely drawn to her fair skin and captivating cleavage.


    Soon, Jonathan couldn''t take it anymore as blood was threatening to flow out of his nostrils.


    It shocked him. Sh*t! I''ll be doomed, and it''ll be so embarrassing if I get a nosebleed and let the blood


    get on her chest!


    There was no way someone as intelligent as Lah wouldn''t know why blood was on her chest.


    In a rush, Jonathan quickly circted his vitality away to force the blood back.


    D*mn it! That was close! Fortunately, I am a cultivator. Otherwise, I would not have been able to get


    away with that!


    At that moment, Lah woke up.


    She blushed the moment she realized that she was leaning on Jonathan''s shoulder. Then, she sat up


    abruptly.


    Trying to brush off the awkwardness, she ignored him as she tidied her messy strands of hair.


    Her actions were charming and attractive.


    With that, the tiny interlude was over.


    Lah would never know that her bra was exposed, and Jonathan would never admit to peeking.


    After a long flight, the two of them finallynded at Yeringham International Airport at ten o''clock in the


    evening, following the time in Irethiel.


    The flight took around ten hours, but there was a time difference between Irethiel and Lostaria.


    After they walked out of the airport, Jonathan saw the age-old city of Yeringham.


    The ce was rich with the history of Epea, including history about the intrusion of the Holy Knights,


    King Sergiu, Sacred Temple, Yartranians, Irethielians, and many other religions.


    Yeringham was a bustling city, but many ancient castles still existed due to the preservation of heritage


    and culture.


    There was a square with a water fountain outside the international airport and a bright moon in the


    clear sky.


    Tourists who had just arrived were everywhere; they included Jetroinians, Chanaeans, Koandrians,


    Smenders, and locals. Excitement filled their faces as they stepped into Yeringham.


    Besides that, many tourists were leaving the ce.


    Jonathan took in a deep breath as he closed his eyes briefly.


    That moment he did that, countless images surfaced in his mind as a result of the historical aura. For


    instance, he saw the intrusion of the Holy Knights, the scene on the cross, and the ancient Yartranian.


    “Let''s find a hotel first,” Lah said to him.


    Of course, he had no problem with that. “Okay!”


    Then, Lah hailed a taxi, and they got in.


    The taxi driver was a Yartranian who had intelligent eyes.


    “Please bring us to a five-star hotel nearby,” Lah said in Chanaean.


    The Yartranian looked confused when he heard what Lah said.


    Jonathan said to Lah, “I guess he doesn''t understand Chanaean.”

    Lah asked, “Should we speak in Ustranasian then?”


    Jonathan chuckled bitterly and said, “As much as I don''t want to admit it, Ustranasian seems more


    internationally recognized.” After a brief pause, he said to the driver in Ustranasian, “We''re here on


    holiday.”


    Obviously, the driver understood and replied in Ustranasian, “Wee to our city!”


    Jonathan continued, “But it''s gettingte, so we''d like to stay in a nice hotel first.”


    The driver replied, “Okay. No problem!” Then, he paused before asking, “You''re a married couple,


    right?”


    Jonathan answered, “Yes, we are.”


    At that moment, Lah looked at Jonathan strangely. Despite not being happy about it, she remained


    silent.


    On the other hand, Jonathan thought it would make things simpler if they pretended to be husband and


    wife since they shouldn''t expose their identities as members of the Divine Realm.


    After that, the Yatranian driver focused on driving.


    Jonathan had a nap during the flight, so he was very energetic and took in the sights of Yeringham


    excitedly.


    After half an hour, the taxi driver pulled over in front of Grand Yeringham Hotel.


    Since Lah had already prepared the local currency beforehand, they didn''t have problems paying the


    driver.


    After that, they walked into Grand Yeringham Hotel.


    The hotel lobby was huge, and there were many hotel guests around.


    Both of them approached the front desk straight away.


    The receptionist was a dignified-looking Irethieliandy. She greeted them with perfect Ustranasian.


    Lah said, “Two presidential suites, please.” Since Lah was rich, she made that request without


    hesitation.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan was happy to enjoy it since he thought money was just something in exchange


    for service. They might die at any time during their jobs, so they took the opportunity to treat


    themselves well whenever possible.


    The receptionist smiled slightly as she said, “I''m sorry, but it''s the peak season, so we only have one


    standard room left.”


    At that moment, Lah was stunned.


    It was the same for Jonathan, but he was a little excited. However, he felt a little sorry for Catherine for


    anticipating it.


    He''d rather stay quiet and leave everything to fate.


    Lah frowned. “How is it possible? This hotel is huge!”


    The receptionist apologized immediately, “I''m sorry. There are too many touriststely, so...”


    Lah was quiet for a while as she thought about it. Since she was tired and didn''t want to look for


    another hotel, she said, “Okay. Give me the room.”


    “All right,” the receptionist replied instantly.


    “You''d better not overthink it. We''re just here for the mission, so desperate times call for desperate


    measures,” Lah said to Jonathan in Chanaean after shooting him a nce.


    He smiled. “Don''t worry, Lah. I''m not thinking about anything I shouldn''t. I''ll sleep on the couch.”


    Lah hummed in response.


    After that, the two took their keys and headed to the room.


    The room was situated on the eighteenth floor. They realized that the room had a vintage feel after


    opening the door.


    Other than that, the room was great and exotic.


    Nheless, Jonathan was troubled. Why is the room so small? And where''s the couch? Howe it


    doesn''t even have a couch?


    There was only a big bed, a LED television, and a bathroom with a hazy ss screen.


    Obviously, the room was meant for those who wanted a one-night stand.


    Lah''s face fell slightly the moment she saw the room.


    Without hesitation, Jonathan suggested, “Why don''t I sleep on the floor?”


    She responded, “No. Desperate times call for desperate measures.”


    Since she said it herself, it would be too melodramatic if she asked him to sleep on the floor because of


    the situation.


    “I''m going to take a shower. Can you go out first?” she said emotionlessly, implying him to get out of the


    room.


    At that moment, Jonathan was still fantasizing about how she would look when she showered.


    Hence, it was as if cold water was poured onto his head when he heard her. What else could he say


    other than agree to it?


    After that, he went out and closed the door behind him.


    Half an hourter, Lah opened the door.


    At that moment, her hair was still wet, and she was scrunching her hair with the towel. Besides that,


    she wore a red round-neck T-shirt and a pair of jeans.


    Irethiel was mainly covered by deserts, so the ce was very dry.


    Therefore, it was warm there, even during winter.


    Jonathan was stunned when he saw how Lah was drying her hair. She looks more normal now.


    After Lah finished rubbing her hair dry, she took out herptop and sat cross-legged on the bed.


    No one knew what she was doing on herptop.


    Jonathan closed the door. Feeling a little stirred up, he asked, “Lah, I''m going to shower now. Would


    you like to go out first?”


    She looked at him and said naturally, “Why do I need to? I''m not going to peek anyway.”


    He was stunned for a moment and couldn''t say anything. She''s got a point.
