In February, Australia is as warm as spring.

"They're really all blond and green-eyed."

After getting off the plane, Shen Ying clung to Liu Qingyan, looking around curiously.

"If this were in Great Jing, I'd suspect they were Lion Spirits or Wolf Demons."

Shen Ying's voice was softer for the latter sentence, but the first one was overheard by a middle-aged man passing by.

The middle-aged man frowned, turned back to see Shen Ying's enchanting appearance, and couldn't help but have his heart skip a beat, his frown seemingly smoothed by a gentle breeze, softly correcting her, "This is called 'blond and blue-eyed', not 'yellow hair and green eyes'."

Shen Ying glanced at the middle-aged man, completely ignoring him, instead moving beside Lu Zheng, "When are we going to see the koalas?"

"No rush, no rush, there are many koalas, there are some in Sydney's zoo, we'll go to the hotel first, then to the zoo," Lu Zheng said with a smile.

"The koalas in Sydney's zoo can only be watched, not cuddled."

The middle-aged man had unconsciously moved closer, proactively introduced, "In Brisbane's Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and Gold Coast's Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, you can cuddle and take photos with koalas."

"Are you here in Australia for a vacation?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile, "I'm Gao Yongzhen, marketing manager for Australia Yida Group, nice to meet you!"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Hello."

Gao Yongzhen looked at Lin Wan beside Lu Zheng, then at the three curious ladies looking around, and approached them, "May I ask your name, are you here in Australia for a tour?"

"Yes, but we're traveling independently, we don't need a guide or company," Lu Zheng waved his hand, smiling calmly.

Gao Yongzhen was blocked by this sentence, and let out an awkward chuckle, "Australia is vast and sparsely populated, many living habits are different from those in Hua Country, having a local to accompany you would save a lot of trouble and make your trip more enjoyable."

"Are you a local?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrow.

Gao Yongzhen smiled proudly, "I have an Australian green card and am applying for Australian citizenship."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Congratulations."

"Thank you!" Gao Yongzhen laughed, "I am a marketing manager stationed in Hua Country by the group, according to Hua Country law, I also have a Spring Festival break, so I return to Australia, and actually want to visit Queensland as well, why not together?"

"Aren't you going home?" Lin Wan, next to Lu Zheng, smirked and looked down at Gao Yongzhen's left hand.

On Gao Yongzhen's left hand's ring finger was a platinum ring.

Gao Yongzhen swallowed and transferred his right-hand's bag to his left hand, while subtly changing the bag's direction to hide the ring on his ring finger inside.

"Psst—"

Gao Yongzhen's little action did not escape the ladies' perception.

Shen Ying laughed out loud, her peach blossom eyes dazzling Gao Yongzhen, though her words left him embarrassed.

"I guess your wife is waiting for you at home, judging by your age, you should have children too," Shen Ying said nonchalantly, "Are you sure you don't want to go home and see them, but instead call saying you're going to Queensland with clients?"

Gao Yongzhen was too stunned to speak, "How did you know..."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, pulling Shen Ying along, with Lin Wan, they turned and walked away, "What excuse will you use if not saying you're with clients?"

Gao Yongzhen was left speechless.

Then, another long-haired beauty, appearing gentle and weak, looked towards him, her gaze deep as a black hole.

The next moment, a subtle guilt towards his wife was magnified infinitely, and Gao Yongzhen felt his heart pounding, longing to immediately rush home to see his wife and child.

...

"Qingyan is kind-hearted, I would say this kind of person should be taught a lesson; Lu Lang should return to Great Jing, finding some Painted Skin Enchanting Corpses to mess with these people on Blue Star," Shen Ying laughed.

"After all, he has a wife and child, he should be given a chance to turn back, if he realizes his mistakes, it's naturally good.

But if after this he still doesn't change, judging by his character, his end will likely be that of desertion and loneliness," Liu Qingyan shook her head.

Beyond this small episode, as soon as they left the airport, a young man approached, his eyes slightly glowing at the ladies, "Do you need a hotel? I have resources for seaside private villas, the price isn't high, even better than a suite in a five-star hotel."

"No need, we've booked a hotel," Lu Zheng waved his hand, opened the door of a cab, letting Lin Wan and Si Lingxi into the back, Lin Wan said to the cab driver in English, "Sydney Bay Hotel."

"Alright, ma'am!" The driver glanced at the young man, then started the car and drove away.

Lu Zheng, with Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan, took a second car, following the first one, leaving the airport.

"Sure doesn't feel peaceful here in Australia!" Shen Ying mused from the back seat, "That person just now, wasn't up to any good."

Liu Qingyan nodded, "I didn't get a good impression from him."

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "I heard Australia is quite safe, maybe we didn't check the calendar before coming?"

Shen Ying laughed, "Not suitable for travel? I wonder whom it's not suitable for."

Lu Zheng shrugged, "Certainly not us."

Liu Qingyan laughed, "We've heard Wan say it, whenever you go traveling, you always seem to attract trouble, you're like a walking trouble magnet."

"Slander! A total slander!" Lu Zheng argued, "How come she doesn't mention we always travel for free?"

Liu Qingyan chuckled, "She did say, not only don't spend money but quite often make money, but she'd rather not earn that money."

"Wan is afraid of trouble, while we don't fear it. Without trouble, wouldn't this trip be terribly dull?" Shen Ying laughed, "By my reckoning, we should've taken that man's offer and gone to see the seaside private villa."

"Sister, don't be ridiculous," Liu Qingyan pushed Shen Ying playfully, "You've watched too many movies."

The two laughed and teased, unnoticed by the non-Chinese-speaking driver who stole admiring glances at Lu Zheng, soon arriving at the Sydney Bay Hotel, paid and left.

Lu Zheng, Shen Ying, and Liu Qingyan joined Lin Wan and Si Lingxi at the front desk, checked in, and were led by a server to the top-floor ocean-view suite.

Sydney Bay Hotel is a classic five-star establishment, its top-tier bay-view suite might not be as luxurious as Golden Sands Hotel's imperial suite, but it's possibly even more comfortable.

A master bedroom, two guest rooms, a small gym, and a big bathtub.

The group set down their nominal luggage, only bringing essentials, then left the hotel to enjoy some local delicacies, planning to visit Sydney Wildlife Park to see koalas and kangaroos in the afternoon.
