“Okay, let’s get down to business. The boss took one in each hand, put them on the big table at the front desk, and moved a high chair to sit on the side. “What service do you want us to provide?” As he said this, the boss complained in an unserious manner: “Pair trimming and beauty treatment? Polishing nails?”
“No,” Xu Maomao took a deep breath: “We want to go to the immortal world.”
“…Huh?”
“I heard that your hotel is a transit station for the six realms, and you can go to the other five realms through here.” Xu Maomao pushed Lu Bao forward, “This friend of mine wants to go to the immortal world to find a friend of his.”
The boss slowly sat up straight: “But we have never provided this kind of service.”
At this time, a low, magnetic voice with a hint of heavy metal came from all directions: “Okay.”
Xu Maomao and Lu Bao looked around, and not long after, a man walked out from behind the front desk – well, it was the guy with heavy makeup.
His makeup seemed to be lighter this time, but his bangs were still very long, through which his long eyelashes could be faintly seen. He seemed to just walk out casually. Without looking at them, he opened the container next to the front desk and took out a bag of Pinhu potato chips and started eating them.
“…That one is so expensive…” the boss said heartbrokenly, “It’s still very difficult to purchase…”
“Don’t I deserve some snacks?” The man with heavy makeup said disdainfully and opened another bag.
“…As long as you’re happy.” The boss resisted the urge to snatch the bag of potato chips from his hand and asked, “Did you just say they could go to the immortal world?”
Xu Maomao swished his head closer, for fear of missing some important message, only to hear him say coldly: “This hotel is originally at the intersection of the six realms – gods, demons, immortals, devils, ghosts, and the human world. These worlds could originally communicate with each other, but human beings are weak and once in the prehistoric period were reduced to being rations for the other beings from all walks of life, God’s will was to protect them, so the demon world and the ghost world have become a one-way street, and you have to apply for a visa to pass.”
After saying this, the man sneered: “But the immortals are arrogant and stand on their own. No matter how easy it is to communicate with other realms, if a mortal wants to become an immortal, he needs to attain immortality.”
“How can I attain immortality?”
The man slowly turned around and seemed to be sizing him up. “It has to do with blood.”
“I don’t want to become an immortal, but I just want to go up there and have a look.”
“The only way to get to the immortal world from here is through immortality.” The man’s tone suddenly became very strange, like a mixture of metal and Sanskrit, and what came out was not a human language, but an ancient language, which allowed Lu Bao to understand his words. He nodded in the direction of the big frog, “You don’t have immortality, but this cat does. Maybe he can go up.”
Lu Bao was stunned: “Only Mr. Cat?”
The man said disdainfully, “Yes, but it’s nothing to be proud of. It’s just a fairyland. It doesn’t matter whether you go or not.”
Xu Maomao patted Lu Bao: “It doesn’t matter, you wait for me here, I’ll go up and help you find Brother Yu.”
The man kept looking at Xu Maomao with a scrutinizing look, and finally continued to eat the potato chips in his hand out of boredom, and he finished it in just a few minutes. After three or four bags, he threw down the packaging with satisfaction and picked up Xu Maomao: “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll give you a ride.”
He seemed to be petting a cat for the first time, and he lowered his head in surprise and murmured: “It actually feels like this?” As he said that, he even stroked Xu Maomao’s chin even more. The thick foundation covered his slightly excited blush. Ouch, it feels good…
His hands were cold and hard, and even the palms of his hands were smeared with foundation, which touched the cat’s fluffy fur. Xu Maomao sneezed suddenly, feeling uncomfortable from his ungentle technique, but he didn’t dare to say anything and squatted into a ball obediently in his hand.
Because of the angle, Xu Maomao could see his eyes from bottom to top through his long bangs. They were a pair of dark green eyes, which were a bit cold.
The man lowered his eyes and looked at him. Xu Maomao could still smell a faint smell of rust and a cold fragrance on his body. In any case, this man was extremely unusual.
“…Brother, are you also a demon?” Xu Maomao boldly spoke to him.
“No.”
“Devil?”
The dark green in the bangs became fainter, as if he was squinting. The man snorted coldly: “Kitten, you are a bit brave. This is the first time a customer has dared to ask me such nonsense.”
Xu Maomao shrank and said, “Hey.” It seems that he is undoubtedly a big devil.
He thought the man with heavy makeup would take him directly to the sky, but unexpectedly he just carried Xu Maomao to the twelfth floor – the floor where Shen Yu fainted last time.
“This is the place closest to the immortal world. Just wait here. Your guide may show up one day.”
“Meow!” Was this okay?
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Maomao scratched his head quickly: “Brother, can’t you take me there QAQ?”
The man said dully: “I hate the immortal world.”
“Hey, how long do I have to wait?”
“It all depends on how deep your relationship is.”
After the man finished speaking, he simply put the cat down, waved his sleeves, dropped some naughty foundation, and then disappeared from the spot without any pity or affection.
Xu Maomao squatted on the twelfth floor of the gorgeous crystal tiles without tears. Finally, he reluctantly used his watch to send a message to Shen Yu explaining the whole story.
——City B.
The clouds far above the Paper Forbidden City moved slightly, and there was small-scale lightning and thunder. A black and white ink-colored snake-shaped shadow moved in the clouds and mist, bringing out golden light from time to time.

Maomao: Men with heavy makeup are so ruthless!
