After returning to the hotel, it was almost six in the evening. I found Hou Libang and we had dinner together, during which I also helped him draw some runes on his Sabre.
By the time we returned to our hotel room, it was nearly eight o'clock, and the outside world was slowly darkening.
"Knock knock~~ knock knock~~" While I was taking a shower in the bathroom, a sudden series of urgent knocks echoed from the door, continuing for over a minute without stopping. Even with the sound of water running, I could clearly hear the noise outside.
Hearing the knocking made me inexplicably irritated. I pushed open the bathroom door and poked my head out, calling to Hou Libang, who was fiddling with his Sabre, "Hou Libang, can't you go check who's at the door? It's so noisy; you need to handle this."
"Okay, Jiang Ling, I'll chase whoever's outside away right now. You go ahead and finish your shower," Hou Libang nodded in agreement. He put away his Sabre and quickly walked towards the door while I returned to the bathroom to rinse off.
As soon as Hou Libang reached the door, the knocking suddenly stopped. Frowning, he pressed his eye against the peephole to look into the hallway. To his surprise, he found no one there; it was completely empty.
"What’s going on? Could it be another Ghostly Being?" Hou Libang muttered instinctively. He drew his Sabre cautiously and opened the door, swiftly stepping out into the hallway.
In that instant, as he burst out of the room, he saw a woman standing to his right, dressed provocatively but seemingly harmless. However, Hou Libang remained alert; he quickly dashed towards her and grabbed her shoulder with his left hand while positioning his Sabre against her neck.
With an emotionless gaze fixed on her eyes, Hou Libang coldly asked, "Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around here?"
The woman was startled by his sudden actions. She looked at him wide-eyed and then patted her chest, which seemed about to burst out of her clothing. In a soft voice, she said, "Ouch, you hurt me! Handsome, why are you being so rough? I'm just a weak woman; isn't it a bit excessive to hold a knife to my neck?"
After observing her for a moment, Hou Libang realized that this woman was not a Ghostly Being. The most direct evidence was that he could feel warmth radiating from her body and even hear her nervous heartbeat.
He released her shoulder and lowered his Sabre. Taking a step back, he scratched his head sheepishly and smiled. "Sorry about that, beautiful; it was all just a misunderstanding. Please don’t take it to heart."
The woman adjusted her disheveled clothing, deliberately pulling her collar down low to reveal a generous expanse of skin to Hou Libang. With a smile, she gazed at him and swayed her hips as she approached, wrapping her arms around his arm and speaking in a soft voice, "Hey there, handsome. No need to be so tense. I actually like rough types like you. How about we go into the room and have a nice chat?"
Feeling the softness on his arm, Hou Libang was suddenly overwhelmed by a rush of blood to his head. His face turned crimson, and he felt as if his entire body was boiling. His mind was clouded with desire, and without thinking, he reached out and touched the woman's chest, wearing a foolish grin that seemed slightly off.
"You're such a bad boy! Don't touch me like that," she said playfully, her voice sweet as she rubbed against him, occasionally tapping him lightly.
After about a minute, her expression turned cold, and the smile vanished from her face. She released his arm and counted down, "Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one! Down!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hou Libang's eyes closed. He swayed and fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
The woman stepped over his body and walked to the left side of the room. She picked up a small black bottle from the floor that contained a burning incense stick. A faint fragrance wafted from it, drifting directly into Hou Libang's nostrils.
Initially, Hou Libang had noticed this scent but assumed it came from the woman herself and hadn't paid much attention.
"Hmph! You dare take advantage of me? Just wait and see how I deal with you," she muttered as she capped the bottle, causing the fragrance to dissipate. She tucked the bottle away securely before angrily approaching Hou Libang and delivering a flurry of kicks to him.
After about a minute and more than twenty kicks later, her anger had mostly subsided, so she finally stopped. Oddly enough, despite Hou Libang's body being red and swollen from the kicks, he remained unresponsive on the ground.
"Hmph! I wasted a third of my incense just to seduce this fatty. I hope he has something valuable on him; otherwise, I'm going to be at a loss," she grumbled as she squatted down to search through all of Hou Libang's pockets. She found over a thousand dollars in cash.
"Who would have thought this fatty is actually a tycoon? What a score!" She stuffed the cash into her chest and glanced back into the room with greedy eyes. Taking half a step inside, she muttered to herself, "His bank card and phone should be in here. I need to find them before anyone comes."
"Hey! Is that you, Hou Libang? My shirt got torn during that fight; can you help me borrow one from next door? I'll be out in just a moment," my voice called from the bathroom. Startled by my voice, the woman hesitated for a moment before reluctantly retreating from the room and closing the door behind her.
About five minutes later, I walked out of the bathroom only to find that Hou Libang had not returned. I frowned, feeling a bit puzzled as I made my way to the door of the room, muttering, "Where could Hou Libang have gone? He wouldn't be off chasing girls, would he?"
"Uh, what’s going on here?" I pushed open the door to the room and was taken aback to see Hou Libang lying on the floor, his face bruised and battered. What surprised me the most was that he was completely naked, with all his clothes missing, leaving only a pair of white underwear that was quite an eyesore.
