“Is there a salesman who sneaks around on rooftops in the middle of the night?” Yang Hao grumbled.
“My dear apprentice…” Huan Yuanzi, as always, resorted to his classic mix of persuasion and pressure, “Don’t you want to return to school? There are two little sweethearts waiting for you there. Can’t you hurry up and earn fifty million first?”
“Alright, alright,” Yang Hao gave in impatiently, “Stop nagging. I’ll go in already.”
Yang Hao was someone who hesitated and wavered before taking action, but once he made a decision, he could be surprisingly decisive and efficient. After his conversation with Huan Yuanzi, he no longer hesitated. He cautiously peeked around and saw that the room was pitch black—its occupants must have already fallen asleep. He used his object manipulation skill to unlatch the window and effortlessly slipped inside.
Though everything around was dark, Yang Hao had the secret technique of Acute Perception. This skill might not seem particularly useful during the day, but at night, it allowed him to navigate purely by instinct. Guided by his heightened senses, he slowly approached the bed in the room. Sure enough, he felt a sleeping person lying there.
This was Yang Hao’s first time doing something so sneaky, so naturally his hands were trembling. After nearly dropping it several times, he finally managed to place a pill into the sleeping person’s mouth.
Late at night, people’s vigilance was indeed low, and no one noticed the foul stench radiating from the pill.
Mission accomplished, Yang Hao hurriedly turned to leave, but Huan Yuanzi suddenly shouted, “Wait! You’re not done yet!”
The sudden outburst startled Yang Hao during such a tense moment, nearly scaring him to death. “What else isn’t done? I already put it in!” Yang Hao whispered, barely audible.
“You idiot! What’s the point of just putting it in? That person is sleeping like a dead pig. Even if he took ten doses of the aphrodisiac, it wouldn’t matter. You need to wake him up so the drug takes effect, then we can evaluate its performance,” Huan Yuanzi was exasperated, wishing he could do it himself.
“Wake him up?!” Yang Hao was already feeling like a thief just sneaking around while they were asleep. If he woke them up, wouldn’t that be handing himself over to be caught?
“You don’t even understand such basic user experience. How clueless can you be?” Huan Yuanzi advised, “Just slap him awake and immediately leave. Use the flying technique to escape through the window. Who could possibly catch you? Don’t be so scared. Hurry up and do it.”
Yang Hao thought it over. At this point, if he didn’t follow Huan Yuanzi’s instructions, all his efforts would be wasted. He had come this far—what was one more risk?
So Yang Hao gritted his teeth, steeled his nerves, and walked back over. He slapped the sleeping person’s face repeatedly, shouting, “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up right now!”
He wasn’t sure exactly what to say, so he just made it up as he went. After all his commotion, the person in bed finally stirred awake. Coincidentally, the pill’s effects had also begun to kick in. The person’s lips parted slightly, letting out a soft moan.
At this point, Yang Hao should have simply turned and fled, and nothing bad would have happened. But that soft moan froze him in place, rendering him unable to move even a single step.
“Fem… Female…?” Yang Hao stammered, sweat pouring down his face.
“What?! A woman?!” Huan Yuanzi was also shocked, “Didn’t Zhuge Jian specifically tell you to give the pill to a man? How could this happen?”
“How should I know in this pitch black darkness whether it’s a man or a woman?” Yang Hao lamented his bad luck. Out of all the houses, he had just happened to sneak into the home of a young widow who had lost her husband. At this moment, the woman in bed was already flushed and breathless, clearly aroused. Instead of panicking upon waking, she began tugging at Yang Hao’s arm, as if wanting to use him as a surrogate to relieve her passion.
“What a disgrace to our sect,” Huan Yuanzi sighed in despair, “How could you be so stupid? Why didn’t you check first to make sure it was a man before giving the pill?”
“Check?!” Yang Hao snapped, “Even if I were a thief, I wouldn’t stoop to being a womanizer. What was there to check?”
“You didn’t check, and now look at the mess you’re in!” Huan Yuanzi sarcastically remarked, clearly disappointed, “Look at this young widow—she’s so excited from the pill that she’ll latch onto any man now.”
“I should escape quickly,” Yang Hao realized things were going wrong. The young widow, now fully under the pill’s influence, was writhing and moaning louder and louder, rubbing herself against Yang Hao, clearly trying to pull him into bed with her.
“If you run away now, you might endanger her life,” Huan Yuanzi sneered, “You know how strong our pill is. If she can’t release this built-up passion, it might harm her health. My young apprentice, you made this mess, so you should clean it up yourself.”
“How do I fix it?” As soon as the words left Yang Hao’s mouth, he regretted asking, “Absolutely not! Otherwise, I really would become a womanizer.”
“What’s there to worry about? You’re saving her life. Besides, if you finish quickly, tomorrow morning this young widow will just think it was a dream,” Huan Yuanzi whispered conspiratorially, “And judging by her voice, she’s probably young and her figure should be quite nice…”
“You do it then!” Yang Hao refused stubbornly. He turned decisively to leave, but the woman clung tightly to him. When Yang Hao pulled away, she was dragged right off the bed onto the floor.
Seeing the woman writhing on the floor like a snake, Yang Hao couldn’t bear it and turned back to help her onto the bed again. But no sooner had he touched her than the young widow suddenly displayed surprising strength. With one swift motion, she flipped him over and pinned him beneath her, tearing open her nightgown. Her skin was soft and smooth, yet burning hot, as if a fire raged within her blood.
Like a wild beast, the widow passionately kissed Yang Hao…
By the time Yang Hao finally sneaked out of the widow’s house, an hour had already passed. Standing weakly between the buildings of Duplex District, Yang Hao felt that the world was just too dark.
After all, he was merely a salesman selling love potions—how could he end up being sexually assaulted by a woman? Within that single hour, Yang Hao had been ravaged multiple times by the woman, a truly pitiful sight.
What angered Yang Hao even more was that Huan Yuanzi suddenly reappeared to mock him, “My dear apprentice, you sure have a lucky charm. Just stepping into a random room and you already have someone spending the night with you.”
“Can that even count as a one-night stand?” Yang Hao felt deeply wronged, “If something like this ever happens again, I’ll castrate myself and become a eunuch. This is just too tragic.”
“You’re lucky to have a woman at all. Look at me, your master, with nothing to offer. That’s true tragedy,” Huan Yuanzi complained, seemingly flying around inside Yang Hao’s stomach, eager to escape.
