Chapter 210: Florida Couple Takes Honeymoon to the Next Level at Ohio Man's Luxury Gym
In the grand Phoenix Pavilion, over a hundred chosen ones gathered, gawking at rare treasures and exotic medicines in glass showcases. Store clerks, seemingly prepared for their arrival, treated the children of phoenixes as VIPs. Each customer was accompanied by three attentive employees, who eagerly introduced items tailored to their unique needs.
Meanwhile, a few top rankers followed employees to the upper floors, where higher-quality treasures awaited their inspection. The less fortunate lingered below, haggling with store staff over the steep prices, trying to stretch their limited resources.
As Felix and Diana walked past the bustling pavilion, Felix's sharp ears caught a heated conversation nearby.
"One million years of lifespan for just one soul coin?! That's robbery!" a young man with a phoenix bloodline shouted.
"Sir, this exchange rate is exclusive to those with phoenix bloodlines. One million years per soul coin is considered very reasonable."
"Reasonable?! Do you have any idea how hard it is to extend a phoenix's lifespan? The torturous training, the rare pills I've had to consume... Lifespan isn't something you just pick off a tree!"
"With respect, sir, in this day and age, gaining a million years of lifespan is relatively easy. There are countless methods to achieve it within a single day, and most don't even require medicinal pills."
"Liar! Prove it!"
Diana covered her mouth, suppressing her laughter behind her hand. Felix shook his head, finding the young man's inexperience amusing. As they moved toward the Chrono Gym nearby, Diana leaned close and whispered.
"His system must be subpar, darling. Doesn't his system even teach him about fossil oil?"
"Shh," Felix hushed her gently, placing a hand over her mouth. "Don't be rude."
The couple quickened their pace, hoping to avoid any further interaction with the fiery Karen-like individual. Unfortunately, his keen phoenix senses caught their hushed remarks. The man stormed out of the pavilion and bellowed.
"HEY, YOU SNAKE BITCH! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT MY SYSTEM?! YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING SNAKE?!"
Diana grinned mischievously but chose to keep slithering forward, ignoring the enraged man. Felix, unwilling to escalate the situation, placed a calming hand on her waist and guided her into the gym building.
"Pfft, pussies! Keep walking!" the man shouted after them, spitting on the ground and flipping them off. He then reentered the pavilion.
Diana was tempted to turn around and teach the loudmouthed man a lesson. But just as her temper flared, Felix's hand slid down to gently squeeze her butt. Startled, she glanced at him.
Felix whispered, "Relax. Don't let it bother you. Just treat it like a bird chirping in the distance."
Diana sighed, "You're right."
The two entered the Chrono Gym and approached the reception counter. Behind it stood a towering, muscular man with dark skin and long, silky black hair cascading down his back. His hair was so perfect that it looked straight out of a shampoo commercial. His dazzling white teeth gleamed as he greeted them with a wide smile.
"Welcome to Class-C Chrono Gym! How can I assist you today?"
Class-C?
Felix got curious. Singtowl's gym was considered D-Class. If this place was superior to Singtowl's platform, he wondered how powerful the training ground would be.
Felix glanced down at the glossy brochure lying on the counter. It detailed a variety of services, from private cultivation chambers to advanced combat simulation rooms. The options were tempting.

Considering how rare and limited soul coins were, the service prices at the Chrono Gym seemed exorbitant. Yet Felix was intrigued by the intermediate cultivation chamber, which offered free coaching and skill acquisition as part of its package. He mentally bookmarked it as a future option but decided against it for now. Today, he and Diana sought something more relaxing rest period.
Felix leaned toward the muscular man behind the counter and asked.
"Sir, if we book one cultivation room, can we share it?"
The man gave them a knowing look and a wide grin. Without a word, he handed Felix another brochure featuring an alternative service.

Felix's smile turned stiff as he glanced between the brochure and the man. The latter's grin widened as he elaborated.
"Cultivation chambers are strictly one room per person. But if you wish to cultivate together, the dual cultivation room is the perfect solution. We've equipped it with a self-cleaning bed and bedsheets, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi bathtub, and, of course, toys to aid in your endeavors. While it's pricier, it's leagues better than the standard empty room with just a cushion."
Felix raised an eyebrow, impressed by the thoroughness of the amenities. He gave the man a thumbs up.
"Five stars for this place and for you, sir. I'll book a dual cultivation room for one hour."
The muscular receptionist deducted 15 soul coins from Felix's inventory and handed over a sleek keycard.
"Room 201. Enjoy your stay, sir. When your time is almost up, we'll prompt you if you wish to extend or conclude your session. However, once the timer expires, you'll automatically be teleported back to the lobby. Please ensure you're, uh, presentable when that happens."
"I take it you've had incidents?"
"Yes, sir. Some customers refused to exit the room or were, shall we say, in compromising situations when the timer ran out. It can be disturbing to other guests."
Diana chuckled, "I take it those 'compromising situations' must've been memorable for everyone involved."
The receptionist smirked but didn't comment further. Felix pocketed the keycard, turning to Diana and taking the lead. Both husband and wife giggled and proceeded to enjoy their honeymoon.
What do you think?
