Yang Hao was in a gloomy mood, ignoring everything as he stormed out of the neighborhood without a word.
“Hey, where are you going?” Hunyuanzi noticed and asked.
“Going home!” Yang Hao replied bitterly.
“Already? Isn’t it too early to go back now?” Hunyuanzi sensed something was off and hurriedly reminded him, “We haven’t finished what we came here for yet. How can you go home already?”
“What unfinished business?” Yang Hao’s mind was a mess.
“Promoting our aphrodisiac, of course!” Hunyuanzi couldn’t believe Yang Hao had forgotten, “Don’t you remember why you came here today?”
“Promote it now!” Yang Hao exploded in anger, “Old man, I’ve just been raped, I’m feeling terrible, and you still want me to go around shoving pills into people’s mouths?”
“So what? You’ve been raped so many times, what’s the big deal?” Hunyuanzi chuckled, “Didn’t those two little girlfriends of yours often rape you too? And weren’t you always delighted about it?”
“That’s different—they’re my girlfriends!” Yang Hao’s mood slightly improved.
“Same thing,” Hunyuanzi grinned, “Maybe that little widow could become your woman someday too. Who knows what might happen?”
Hunyuanzi, having spent so much time with X13, had picked up some philosophical wisdom, “Life is full of the unexpected.”
Yang Hao thought about it and found some truth in his words. Lately, his life had been completely unpredictable—everything that shouldn’t have happened had, and everything that should have gone wrong did. So, what would happen in the future was naturally impossible to foresee.
“So,” Hunyuanzi, a master at persuasion, continued, “you should just focus on what’s right in front of you. After all, who else can help you if not yourself?”
Yang Hao raised both hands in surrender—he was completely defeated by Hunyuanzi’s logic. It seemed like just a few words were enough to make Yang Hao give up all resistance.
“Alright, alright, I’ll do it,” Yang Hao sighed helplessly. If he couldn’t sell the aphrodisiac soon, not only would he miss out on the five million, but he’d even struggle to survive, “This time, I’ll definitely check first—only give it to men.”
True to his word, Yang Hao was smarter with the next household. He sneaked in quietly and, without saying a word, went straight to the bed to examine carefully. There were indeed two people sleeping in the bed, so it clearly wasn’t a widow’s home. He then reached out to touch the person near the edge of the bed—it was indeed a man.
After several confirmations, Yang Hao finally felt reassured and placed the aphrodisiac into the man’s mouth. When the drug was about to take effect, Yang Hao didn’t wake the man up directly. Instead, he slipped back to the window and used his telekinetic technique to turn on the room’s lights from a distance.
According to Yang Hao’s plan, the sudden illumination of the room while they were sleeping would surely startle the couple awake. Once startled, they wouldn’t immediately look toward the window, giving Yang Hao the chance to escape unnoticed.
The plan sounded perfect, even flawless.
But only in theory.
After turning on the lights as planned, Yang Hao should have fled through the window—but for some unknown reason, he suddenly froze in place like a wooden post, unable to move.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and run!” Hunyuanzi was getting impatient.
“Ma… man…” Yang Hao stammered.
“Obviously, I know it’s a man. Didn’t you already check?” Hunyuanzi didn’t understand.
“Th… there are two men…” Yang Hao’s face was pale, nearly collapsing.
“Two men!!!” Hunyuanzi finally realized the problem. He immediately linked into Yang Hao’s consciousness and saw the scene: two men in pajamas were lying in bed, one of them having just been given the aphrodisiac and now flushed and breathing heavily. The sudden bright lights were about to wake them up.
“You really know how to pick a place…” Hunyuanzi was speechless, “You actually found a pair of men sleeping together. What now? Do you want to sacrifice yourself again?”
“Me?” Yang Hao reacted instantly, flipping out the window and fleeing before the two men could wake up, “No way! I have absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no interest in men at all!!!”
“But what about them?” Hunyuanzi was still worried about the two men in bed.
“Maybe they’re homosexuals, so it doesn’t matter,” Yang Hao quickly found an excuse for himself, “They might even become our long-term customers. Hahaha!”
“Disgusting!” Hunyuanzi gave a concise verdict on his apprentice.
But Yang Hao had already decided not to let this bother him. At this point, he had completely accepted it—after all, he’d already experienced the worst that could happen, so there was nothing left to fear. Without needing Hunyuanzi to coax or pressure him any further, Yang Hao voluntarily started selecting the next target house.
Five sleepless and exhausting nights passed in a row. During the days, Yang Hao brewed and prepared medicines; at night, he acted like a masked thief, sneaking into homes to deliver his pills. From then on, a mysterious figure in black began to be whispered about across Dupu District.
But all this hard work paid off. After several days of relentless effort, Yang Hao’s aphrodisiac brand finally began gaining word-of-mouth popularity in Dupu District. Some people even started leaving their doors and windows wide open at night, mouths agape, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the “Black-Cloaked Medicine Thief.”
However, five days later, following Zhuge Jian’s plan, Yang Hao changed his strategy. Instead of randomly slipping pills into people’s mouths, he began distributing advertisements for his aphrodisiac shop throughout most of the houses in the neighborhood.
What happened next was something Yang Hao had always dreamed of—but never imagined would be so explosive.
Within less than two days after the flyers were distributed, the entire Dupu District was abuzz with rumors about a rare and miraculous aphrodisiac being given out at night. Many housewives exaggerated its effects to the point of near-mysticism, describing it as an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime aphrodisiac that could move heaven and earth.
Yang Hao’s flyer was passed secretly among housewives like a precious secret, something that could only be shared through hushed whispers and private exchanges.
This air of mystery quickly elevated the reputation of Yang Hao’s aphrodisiac shop. The legend of the “miracle pill” spread from Dupu District to other residential areas. On Raymon Star, men had long suffered from declining sexual vitality, and most couldn’t afford the expensive “Million-Dollar” chemical aphrodisiacs. Now, hearing about a cheap yet effective alternative, they rushed to get their hands on it like moths to a flame.
Within just half a month, Yang Hao’s “miracle pill” had caused a citywide sensation. Almost every media outlet was chasing the story. Several men who had initially received the aphrodisiac from Yang Hao even came forward to share their experiences. Most notably, a pair of homosexuals became the center of attention. It was said that they had originally been just classmates, but after taking the “miracle pill,” their suppressed emotions could no longer be contained, and they eventually became lovers. This, in itself, was proof of how powerful the drug was.
