It was like this: Xiao Yefeng had offended the psychologically twisted Zhu the Young Master with a single sentence. However, Xiao Yefeng had seen too many threats and intimidation to be fazed by them.
"Hello, sir. I must apologize for the inconvenience caused by our internal issues," a woman in professional attire approached Xiao Yefeng shortly after.
"It's fine, I'm here to check in!" Xiao Yefeng glanced at the female staff member before him. Indeed, the Golden House Courtyard was not just any place; the quality and appearance of its staff were exceptional. This woman could be considered a rare beauty.
"Please show me your identification, sir!" The staff member was ready to assist Xiao Yefeng with his check-in as he handed over the envelope he received from Vera.
"Sir, checking into our Golden House Courtyard requires adherence to certain protocols. Of course, you can choose your accommodation based on your financial capacity. Starting from the third-tier area, prices increase as you move inward. The third-tier area starts at forty thousand per month and goes up to a maximum of one hundred thousand. The second-tier area starts at two hundred thousand and caps at five hundred thousand, while the first-tier area begins at one million and gets more expensive as you go deeper. Which area would you like to stay in?"
The staff member carefully explained to Xiao Yefeng, but as she opened the envelope while speaking, she suddenly gasped in shock. Inside was a card written on golden paper for the third-tier courtyard, causing her to momentarily lose her composure.
The golden paper card for the third-tier courtyard was an internal tool of the Golden House Courtyard. Every new employee, like this beautiful staff member, learned not etiquette first but rather how to recognize ten special cards—colored gold, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. These cards were essential for all employees.
Anyone who presented these cards would be treated differently; even a beggar would receive respectful treatment if they showed any one of these thirty special cards at the Golden House Courtyard. How they would be treated remained a mystery known only to those who held the cards.
"Sir, this! I need to contact our manager. Could you please wait a moment?" The receptionist appeared flustered in front of such a rare card that only thirty existed nationwide.
"I don't care about any procedures; I just need to know how much I have to pay to check in and then get me the key to room number three in the courtyard," Xiao Yefeng said, glancing outside at the twinkling lights of the city and frowning slightly.
Since his release from prison, meeting Zhebie, connecting with Vera, and encountering Zhu the Young Master had left Xiao Yefeng feeling exhausted. He didn't need any grand reception; he just wanted a good night's sleep because he had already fulfilled most of his first solemn promise.
"But according to regulations..." The receptionist began explaining again but was cut off by Xiao Yefeng. He really couldn't afford any more delays. Just as she was about to elaborate further, the headache he had been suppressing surged back with intensity, piercing through his mind like a needle. Clearly, Xiao Yefeng needed a safe and quiet place to rest.
Xiao Yefeng's sudden change in emotion left the receptionist speechless. At that moment, a fierce glint appeared in his dark pupils. When the beautiful receptionist met his gaze, she instantly slumped back into her chair. Just then, a man in a black suit stepped out from behind Xiao Yefeng and said, "Sir, I apologize for the inconvenience. Since you have specific needs, let's skip the formalities. Here is the key to Room Three of the courtyard. Please allow me to escort you."
The Suit Man extended a luxurious key toward Xiao Yefeng, who grasped it firmly. A quick glance at the man revealed that Xiao Yefeng could no longer suppress the intense pain he was feeling, causing the murderous aura he had contained for two years to leak out uncontrollably. This startled the two receptionists nearby.
Fortunately, the Suit Man had a stronger mental fortitude than the previous female receptionist. Although he felt weak in the knees under Xiao Yefeng's murderous glare, he still managed to lead him out of the lobby. A brand-new sedan awaited where people had been queuing. The Suit Man quickly opened the car door for Xiao Yefeng. After he entered the vehicle, the Suit Man shook his trembling arm and slid into the driver's seat, pressing down on the accelerator as the black sedan sped away from the lobby.
The Golden House Courtyard was located in the heart of the city, and it took nearly half an hour to drive there from their current location. Throughout the journey, the Suit Man felt as if a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open was lurking behind him. The oppressive atmosphere only intensified as they approached their destination, making him feel as though the temperature inside the car was dropping.
With a creak, the car came to a stop outside an extravagant villa. The Suit Man said, "Please exit the vehicle, sir; we have arrived at Room Three. According to the access card, the other two tenants will not be returning tonight. Please enter at your convenience. I kindly ask that you come by tomorrow at your earliest convenience to complete some necessary procedures."
By this point, the Suit Man's lips were twitching nervously because from the moment he opened the door for Xiao Yefeng, he had been under scrutiny from those murderous eyes. However, Xiao Yefeng was struggling to maintain control over himself. A silver needle embedded with a blue gemstone pierced his forehead as he continued to manipulate it.
"Thank you for your assistance; I will handle those procedures tomorrow. I hope I haven't frightened you," Xiao Yefeng said before stepping out of the car and walking heavily toward Room Three. Meanwhile, the Suit Man quickly got back into his car and sped away from this coveted place he usually only dreamed of passing by.
As soon as Xiao Yefeng saw the car leave, he lost control completely. His left hand gripped tightly onto the wall beside him as five fingernails scratched shallow marks into its surface. Fortunately, Mei Yulou's suppression still lingered; his right shoulder had lost sensation and was beyond his control. Using his only functional hand that wasn't hindered by excruciating pain, he swept it across in front of him. A mirror-like surface appeared on the ornate door like a computer display, revealing a large character that signified entry. The door then swung open, and Xiao Yefeng collapsed inside.
Upon entering Room Three, Xiao Yefeng intended to ascend via a staircase designated for residents but was instantly struck down by an overwhelming Punishment Power that rendered him unable to do so. He could only pull out the silver needle from his forehead before crashing heavily onto an extremely feminine sofa in the lobby. Two identical Rabbit Dolls lay beneath him; unbeknownst to anyone else, one of them briefly glowed red before vanishing with a crackling sound of electrical equipment short-circuiting.
Xiao Yefeng fell unconscious due to what could be considered punishment brought on by Mei Yulou's testing—though it wasn't exactly punishment but rather a consequence of his insufficient strength. He succumbed to this intense pain and bore the cost of activating his Yin-Yang Eye for the first time. However, this calamity also brought about an unexpected benefit: memories began to unlock in his mind once again—this marked only the second time since losing his captain on his eighteenth birthday.
Yet again came that saying from Geomancers about fortune and misfortune being intertwined; as Xiao Yefeng collapsed and opened another door to memory, he crushed both Rabbit Dolls beneath him—a seemingly innocuous act that would unexpectedly summon another presence at this inappropriate time and place.
At the moment the rabbit short-circuited, in a true mansion shrouded in mist, a delicate smartphone by a steaming bath displayed a large exclamation mark. Immediately, an alarm sound echoed through the air. From the depths of the azure pool, a beautiful mermaid emerged, her figure reminiscent of a lotus flower rising from the water—radiant and alluring. A woman with fair skin and long hair cascading past her waist appeared, boasting a body that perfectly adhered to the golden ratio.
This woman was clad in a stunning blue bikini; she was indeed the enchanting figure that had just surfaced. With a slight furrow of her brows, she glanced at the phone from which the alarm had sounded, lightly wiping the droplets of water from her skin. As she picked up the phone, a video began to play on its screen.
