Facing an Ancient God for a Year-Chapter 316 - Fool’s Cage (10)_1

Chapter 316 -316 Fool’s Cage (10)_1

“You two with the bushy eyebrows have also come out to join the commotion?”

When he saw the Torrance Couple, Fu Qian’s first reaction wasn’t to offer help but an instinctive headache.

In such a strange environment, the two of them blocking the way like this was hardly cause for optimism.

However, it did explain why Violetta had gone silent after getting lost.

At that moment, she was curiously sizing up the Torrance Couple, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Mr. Gridy hadn’t kept up.

“Hello, Violetta.”

...

Facing Violetta’s scrutiny, Torrance greeted her with a gentle voice, his smile impeccable.

“Hello, Mr. Torrance.”

Before Violetta could reply, Fu Qian stepped forward two paces to stand beside her.

“Hello, Dr. Sir.”

Upon hearing this, the Torrance Couple simultaneously turned their heads to look, with Mrs. Torrance responding politely.

In the meantime, Fu Qian quickly scanned them from head to toe.

The couple was still wearing their previous clothes, and their hair and makeup were meticulous, not looking like they had been resting.

But other than that, there was nothing particularly abnormal.

The slightly odd detail was that Mr. Torrance’s clearly expensive, high-quality suit was wrapped roughly around his hand.

To be precise, it was wrapped around the hand he and Mrs. Torrance were holding.

Indeed, although they were a long-married couple, they were now standing hand in hand on either side, looking intimate yet eerie.

The corridor was thus thoroughly blocked.

“You two haven’t rested yet?”

Fu Qian sighed, asking while glancing to the side.

To the couple’s left, a room door stood wide open, the luggage inside yet unpacked.

Fu Qian’s memory was still sharp; even the door number matched, confirming that this was indeed the couple’s room.

Regrettably, although the door was open, it was impossible to pass around them due to the narrow hallway and the couple’s position further back.

To get by, it was necessary for the couple to make way.

“Not yet, we’ve encountered some problems,”

Torrance looked quite displeased as he pointed inside the room.

“The hotel might have made a mistake; someone is already staying in this room.”

Someone in the room? So you came out to block the way?

Fu Qian looked inside again but didn’t see a trace of anyone.

“Why not ask the hotel to switch rooms for you?”

Fu Qian withdrew his gaze, saying without a change in expression.

“That’s a difficult problem, the Gridy family is already staying inside, where shall we stay?”

As if he hadn’t heard Fu Qian’s suggestion, Torrance was rubbing his chin with his right hand, frowning in thought, while Mrs. Torrance also looked worried.

“There’s time to think of a solution; could you please make way for us to pass first?”

Fu Qian continued to probe.

“If we can’t get into our room, we have to stay here. I’ve been driving all day and am very tired.”

Regrettably, Torrance’s response was talking to himself.

As expected, they only appeared normal!

Fu Qian sighed inwardly without disturbing the two any further.

The couple was obviously not in the right state of mind, fixated on who owned the room.

It seemed that they wouldn’t clear the hallway until the issue inside was resolved.

And if he were to forcefully move them, it was likely that there could be unforeseen consequences.

“I’ll go and talk to them.”

“Is that alright? We don’t want to offend them.”

Torrance finally reacted, exchanging a look with his wife.

“It’s fine; I’m a polite person.”

Fu Qian signaled that they needn’t worry and turned back to instruct Violetta.

“Wait here for me.”

Okay.

The latter seemed not to have noticed anything abnormal and even appeared quite eager about Fu Qian’s negotiation.

Thus, under the gaze of the three onlookers, Fu Qian strode into the room before him.

It was slightly larger than his own, but the layout was basically the same: everything visible at a glance.

However, after a quick inspection, Fu Qian found not a person, not even a single hair.

But he did see the name Gridy, on a painting located at the head of the bed in the room.

The painting depicted four anthropomorphic rabbits dressed to the nines for an event.

Two adults and two children, each with a different pose, all exuding a joyous atmosphere.

From a rabbit’s perspective, they could be considered quite attractive.

Fu Qian examined the painting closely, without any hurry to reach out.

But as he observed, within just a few seconds, the entire room underwent a rapid transformation.

The four rabbit-people from the painting appeared around him, still maintaining their poses from the artwork.

They had the height and build of humans but each one had long ears sticking up.

One dressed particularly formally, seated not far from Fu Qian, looked up at him.

“Who are you, and do you know what place this is?”

Not a friendly tone, at all!

And although it was a rabbit’s face speaking, the stern emotion was unmistakable.

Making a mental note of his own condition, Fu Qian felt he would soon stop perceiving it as a rabbit’s face.

“I don’t know.”

In response to the interrogation, Fu Qian shook his head.

The reason why the Torrance Couple had been so upset was now apparent.

And clearly, he was starting to be affected as well, so he needed to resolve things quickly.

“Mr. Gridy, I know the four of you are deeply attached to this place, but there’s a couple next door desperate to get together, they’ve even paid the room fee. Could you please step aside for a moment?”

“What are you talking about!”

A shriek came from another rabbit, a lovely doe in a long dress, who covered one of the little rabbit’s ears.

“I’m going to ask you to leave, just like that couple!”

Mr. Gridy also stood up directly.

“Looks like there’s no room for negotiation, then!”

Fu Qian said, unsurprised, and reached into his pocket.

The next moment, he pulled out a round, juicy green apple.

This was the same apple he had caught from the Witch and had previously used another one like it to blow up a cookie wall.

“This is rich in vitamins and glucose, which are great for promoting the growth and development of rabbits.”

As he spoke, Fu Qian allowed the apple to spin in his palm.

“Even though it might taste a little sour, it’s even got beta-carotene in it!”

“What are you trying to do, have you gone mad!”

Mr. Gridy seemed to be well aware of the potency of this particular apple, as his tone changed drastically.

“Nothing much, just offering you some delicious food.”

Without wasting any more time, Fu Qian tossed the green apple up above his head.

Shrieks filled the air, and Fu Qian could even make out one from Mrs. Torrance outside.

The rabbit family in front of him moved even faster, with Mr. Gridy leading his family in a sprint out of the room.

Thump!

Fu Qian caught the falling apple with as gentle a force as possible.

He couldn’t really explode it, for if the room turned into a ruin, the Torrance Couple would be even less likely to move in.

By now, the rabbit family was nowhere to be seen, and Fu Qian returned to the doorway.

“I’ve confirmed that they had the wrong place and were very willing to give up the room, so you can come in now.”

“This…”

Torrance hesitated for a moment, but his wife, unable to wait any longer to enter the room, nearly pulled him off his feet.

“Thank… thank you!”

“You’re welcome.”
