On the other side, Chen Ai and Michelle's eyes were filled with nothing but each other.

The air seemed to be burning with their fighting spirits.

"It's a pity that it's only for a month. It would be best if you never come back," Chen Ai narrowed his eyes and revealed a tiger-like smile.

Facing such a rude provocation, Michelle's expression didn't show any annoyance, but instead she smiled even more: "The great ancestor of the elf race, the selfless goddess Mousel once said that those who are insatiable will be punished. Giving Boss Chen a month's breathing space is already the greatest grace from the goddess."

Michelle paused and complained a bit like a little girl: "Honestly, it's humiliating for me to let you last for a year under my watch. This experience of eating my own words is really unpleasant."

Indeed, it had been a whole year since Michelle declared her "war." Blaze Hotel hadn't closed down within the three to five month time frame she predicted. To this day, it had stubbornly endured a full year.

As the owner of the hotel, Chen Ai had made tremendous contributions.

Chen Ai shrugged: "It's an honor to displease the noble elf princess."

Michelle sighed slightly: "That being said, I have to admit that Boss Chen's management philosophy is indeed innovative, and I have learned a lot."

Chen Ai sneered: "You're too kind."

"So, I have finished learning from you, and Boss Chen is of no use to me anymore. When can you leave since you're being an eyesore?" Michelle blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and adorable. If others heard her, they would hardly believe that such a crude language came from Miss Michelle's mouth.

Chen Ai could feel a layer of magical barrier had formed between the two of them and the crowd saying goodbye. The people outside could see Michelle's angelic face, but they could no longer hear what she was saying.

See, all of that was a show, and this was the real Michelle.

Chen Ai shrugged: "I'm sorry, but I'm not someone who easily gives in. Once I set my goal, I'll keep going, and I've decided on running this hotel."

"Really?" Michelle showed a slightly regretful smile, "I was hoping to buy your hotel soon, tear it down and rebuild a new one. Every day when I wake up and look outside, I see such a shabby, tasteless wooden shack. It spoils my mood when I look at it for too long."

Chen Ai retorted without yielding: "Coincidentally, I also find the white wall opposite particularly annoying. The sun's reflection creates light pollution that makes it difficult to sleep. If I get the chance, I'd like to buy the opposite side, tear it down completely, and rebuild it."

Michelle scoffed: "Boss Chen, you're really good at making jokes. Can the profit of the Blaze Hotel last year afford a vase from the Green Wonderland?"

Chen Ai confidently said: "Hehe, I am a man capable of creating miracles. If I could survive a year under your watch, there will be a day when I defeat you completely. In the future, when I have the money, I will renovate the front of the hotel, invite a few beautiful girls to support the scene. My place won't be worse than your Green Wonderland."

Michelle sighed, looked at Chen Ai with a pitiful expression: "It seems that Boss Chen still doesn't know the decisive gap between us."

Saying this, Michelle's attitude became contemptuous: "That's why ordinary people will always be ordinary people. How would a wild monkey from the mountains know the delicacies beyond bananas?"

Although Michelle was shorter than Chen Ai, he always felt like he was being looked down upon by her, which annoyed him.

If this were back in the imperial capital, with his former identity as a warrior, which royal aristocrat wouldn't show him some respect? When did it become the turn of an elf to ride roughshod over him?

Chen Ai laughed in anger: "Humph! Just wait and see. In the future, not only will I buy the Green Wonderland, but I will also hire you as a maid. Then the Blaze Hotel will have a "noble" elf maid with a big butt, swaying her hips while serving drinks to the guests, quite a sight to behold!"

"Who did you say has a big butt?!" Michelle's voice instantly went up an octave, showing a shy and annoyed expression for the first time and staring angrily at Chen Ai.Michelle is a petite beauty, not very tall, with an average chest, which should be categorized as a young girl's figure - but she happens to have an excellent buttocks. No exaggeration, Michelle's hip-to-height ratio is the largest among the girls Chen Ai has ever seen. According to Chen Ai's understanding, Michelle could totally make it as a top butt model on Earth. On ordinary days, as long as Michelle bends over slightly, she would reveal a seductive curve, which adds a feminine charm to her innocent and lovely appearance. Such an angelic face and devilish figure are definitely something to be proud of on Earth. However, on the star of Chen, it's quite the opposite. In this world, the appreciation for full buttocks is not popular, at least not on the surface. Big buttocks are often seen as a symbol of vulgarity. This is the part that Michelle is most hesitant about, and she even feels somewhat inferior about her buttocks. Therefore, Michelle's attire mostly consists of long skirts, just to cover up her buttocks. Mocking Michelle's buttocks is Chen Ai's tried-and-true killer move. As long as it's mentioned, Michelle will definitely get irritated. It's a simple "Michelle's treasure" tactic. "Whoever answers me, I am talking about them, big butt elf!" "You rude wild monkey! How dare you call me that!" In her anger, Michelle completely lost her composure, and her self-reference changed from "Xue'er" to "I". "What if I call you that? Weren't you answering quite happily just now?" "Wild monkey!" "Big butt!" "Wild monkey!" "Big butt!" ... "So we've come to this point, haven't we?" The tall elf listened to the two's conversation, holding her forehead somewhat helplessly. The two just stood there, holding hands and glaring at each other, as if sparks were flying in the air. After a while, both of them seemed to realize that the direction of the quarrel was becoming more and more childish. So they both gave up. Michelle let go of the hand she was holding with Chen Ai and wiped it with disgust, using a handkerchief. Chen Ai simply pouted her lips, not caring that she didn't suffer any loss. After wiping her hand, Michelle's mood calmed down. She expressionlessly extended three jade-like fingers: "Three times the market price. This is my final offer. Mr. Chen, are you really not reconsidering? The Greenery is in its development stage, and owning this piece of land is a must." "My hotel, no less than 100 times the price, no need to talk." Chen Ai waved goodbye, quoting an exaggerated price to refuse Michelle. Michelle squinted her beautiful eyes and said, "Mr. Chen is a smart man. He should understand that avoiding the Greenery and looking for another place to do business would be the best strategy. If you fight with the Greenery, no matter how long you can last, you'll end up with a dead end. I think my offer is generous enough. Mr. Chen, good timing makes a great leader." Chen Ai snorted: "Sorry, I'm a stubborn wild monkey, and I just won't budge. If you ask me to leave, I won't." "So there's no room for negotiation?" Michelle's eyes became sharp. "Don't blame Xue'er for not warning you, Mr. Chen. When Xue'er returns to Heron City next time, the Greenery will undergo a drastic change and become even stronger than before. By then, there will be no place for Blaze Hotel." Facing Michelle's threat, Chen Ai laughed and waved his hand: "Just bring it on. You said you'd kick me out a year ago, but you haven't made it happen, have you?" Are you kidding? He was a hero who had saved the world twice, and had seen all kinds of storms. He had been running a hotel for a year and had already entered the service industry. With the talents of a hero like him, there was no way he would be intimidated by a green-haired girl! Hearing Chen Ai's answer, Michelle showed a cold smile: "Well, Mr. Chen, since you are so ungrateful, let's meet again in a month. I hope you won't beg for mercy from Xue'er by then, alright?" "Humph, I'm waiting for you." Chen Ai crossed his arms, looking fearless. Michelle bowed slightly and gracefully turned to leave. The people outside, who had been watching Michelle and Chen Ai holding hands for so long and talking for such a long time, had long been itching to intervene. Now that Michelle was finally away from Chen Ai, they all rushed up, surrounding her with long and short sentences, hoping to leave a good impression on the beautiful elf.Michelle's face regained her angelic, elegant smile.

"Miss Michelle, did that man just now disrespect you?"

"It's fine, I was just discussing some business matters with Boss Chen."

"That rude fellow must be an outsider. We, gentlemen of Helan City, would never behave like that. Please forgive us, Miss Michelle."

"Mr. Lannister, rest assured, Xue'er never holds any prejudice in her heart. Being kind to others is my principle."

"Ah, Miss Michelle is truly as kind as an angel!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Michelle stepped onto the carriage.

Just before entering the carriage, she looked back with a smile, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and the morning sunlight shining on her face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Everyone was astonished by her beauty.

But only Chen Ai, who was standing in the back, understood the hidden meaning behind that smile, which was, "You wait for me to come back and clean up after you."

Michelle then disappeared into the carriage.

The tall elf lady bowed elegantly to the crowd before stepping onto the carriage as well.

Sitting in front of the carriage, the elven coachman placed a flute to his lips, and then a crisp flute sound rang out. The giant elephant, as tall as two stories, slowly stood up. It pulled the carriage and slowly headed towards the outskirts of the city.

"Alright, let's get ready for business!" Watching the carriage depart, Chen Ai stretched and returned to the store to prepare for its opening.

Perhaps motivated by Michelle's provocation, Chen Ai was particularly pumped that day.

...

Inside the carriage, the decoration was extremely luxurious, with thick wool carpets on the floor. Instead of seats, there was a soft bed, large enough for two people to lie side by side.

At this moment, two beautiful elves were sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Princess... here is the itinerary for when we return to Deir. Please take a look," said the tall elf lady, holding a document and handing it to Michelle.

After getting on the carriage, her title also changed.

Michelle leaned against the window, absentmindedly looking out.

The tall elf looked puzzled and asked, "Princess?"

She hesitated for a moment and whispered to Michelle, "Are you worrying about the Blaze Hotel? That stubborn owner. Why don't we... use the power of the palace to pressurize Coles and take that place by force?"

Michelle gently shook her head and took her gaze back. "Don't worry, Lianne, I'll make him disappear completely with my own methods. If we can't even handle a small hotel without invoking the power of the palace, it's no different from admitting defeat to my sister."

Lianne frowned hesitantly, "But... if this continues, our plan..."

"Umm!" Suddenly, two soft lips sealed Lianne's mouth, and a slippery little tongue invaded her cherry mouth.

"Your Highness! Umm..." Lianne tried to push Michelle away in panic, but being a servant, how could she push away a princess? She could only wave her arms in confusion and let Michelle kiss her.

Michelle simply pushed Lianne down onto the bed, and the two of them began to kiss passionately. The carriage was enchanted with a privacy barrier, blocking both light and sound, so they weren't worried about any slips.

Michelle's hand trailed up Lianne's alluring leg.

Lianne could only make helpless whimpers.

After a while, their lips parted.

Love filled Michelle's eyes, "Don't you believe in me, Lianne? A mere monkey is just a small accident in our plan. By the time we return to Helan City next month, I'll make sure both he and his hotel disappear. Lianne, our plan is grand and long-lasting. To achieve great things, one must be patient."

"I... I understand, Your... Highness." After Michelle's skillful kiss, Lianne was panting and her gaze became blurred.

"Now, we still have several days left before reaching the Forest of Sinners. Let's put down all those unpleasant things and enjoy our time together, just the two of us!" Michelle brushed her hair back behind her ear and smiled. This was a gentle smile that she had never shown to others before.At this moment, Lian's face became more and more flushed, looking like a shy little girl, which was completely different from her capable and astute appearance in front of others.

"Princess, you..."

She nodded helplessly and shyly.

The scene inside the carriage was full of charm for a moment.
