Chapter 427: Transaction
Meg sat in the hot spring pool, feeling an unprecedented level of comfort. She had never soaked in a hot spring before; Tianshui City, being a coastal city, didn't have any hot springs. This was her first experience.
After soaking in the hot spring, she realized how wonderful it was. Being in it was truly enjoyable, and when she took a bite of the fruit from the wooden tray floating on the surface, it was simply an immortal-level indulgence.
She picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip, and sighed before turning to Laura and Meg, who were also enjoying the hot spring and sipping wine. Meg playfully complained, “You two claimed to be good sisters, yet you sneakily enjoyed such a great experience by yourselves and only told me today. Hmph!”
Laura and Meg both laughed. Once they settled down, Laura explained, “It’s not that we didn’t want to tell you; it’s just that this space is too important for the budah family. If others find out this secret, the budah family’s last trump card would be lost. That’s why we didn’t dare tell you until now. Brother Hai suggested we let you know.”
Although Laura wanted Zhao Hai to inform Meg about the space, she chose not to say it at this moment. After all, this matter was Zhao Hai's suggestion, and her words could also improve Meg's impression of Zhao Hai, making her heart lean more towards him.
One must admit that Laura really thought about Zhao Hai, even considering such small details. She understood that she wanted to spend her life with this man, so she had to help him solve all his troubles, which is why she thought of these things.
When Meg heard Laura say this, she huffed and said, “I forgive you. You can rest assured, I won’t tell anyone about this place. It’s really comfortable; you both sure know how to enjoy yourselves.”
Laura chuckled, “It’s not bad. Actually, many of the ideas here were suggested by Brother Hai, but he rarely gets to enjoy it himself because he’s too busy with so many matters.”
Meg sighed as well; she had seen how busy Zhao Hai had been these past few days. Although he wasn't signing one document after another like her father, he had many thoughts and issues to deal with regarding the budah family. As Laura said, Zhao Hai was indeed very busy.
After soaking for a while, they went upstairs to rest. The villa in the space had over twenty rooms, so there were still vacant ones available. Meg hadn’t had proper rest for several days, and after just soaking in the hot spring, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
She actually slept until the afternoon when she woke up. When she got out of bed, she realized that there was no one in the space anymore. Just as she finished getting dressed, she found herself on the Peach Blossom.
She was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood that it must have been Cai'er’s doing. Zhao Hai had introduced Cai'er to her yesterday, but he hadn’t mentioned that Cai'er was a super ninth-level expert.
As soon as Meg arrived on the ship, Laura and the others spotted her. Laura immediately approached her, smiling, “Just waking up? Looking at how much you slept during the day, I wonder if you can fall asleep tonight.”
Meg stuck out her tongue and said, “I haven’t slept well for several days. I finally managed to get a good sleep, but ended up oversleeping. Hehe.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and casually said, “Just rest in the space at night from now on. It’s quiet there, and the air is good. It’s very comfortable to rest there.”
Meg nodded and looked at the scenery on the ocean, smiling, “Watching the grasslands in the space and then seeing the sea when I’m on the ship, this life is really nice.” This made Zhao Hai and the others laugh again.
After a while, Meg turned to Zhao Hai and asked, “Brother Hai, what exactly are we doing out at sea this time? I see us heading deeper into the ocean. Are we going to the deep sea?”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Yes, we are going to the deep sea. We’re heading to Monkey Head Island; that’s also one of our bases.”
