Horror Camgirl - Ch. 54: Who is This Woman?
Xiao Lin looked at me differently this time: “Madam Yuan, impressive! It's only been a few days since we last met, and you can already set up formations. Next time we meet, I bet you’ll be subduing demons and monsters, shaking the seas and skies!”
I felt a bit awkward: “Mr. Lin, please don’t joke around. Thankfully, I already turned off the Live Stream; if a real expert heard that, they’d probably laugh their heads off.”
He glanced at Tang Mingli and said, “Tang Shao, it seems like you’ve gained quite a bit of strength in just a few days, even your internal power has become more refined.”
As he spoke, he gave me a meaningful look and leaned in closer, saying, “Madam Yuan, do you have some kind of magical power? Being around you seems to make people stronger.”
He patted his chest and asked, “What do you think of me?”
He seemed to notice Tang Shao's killing intent and quickly changed his tone: “How about I become your right-hand man? I’ll charge into battle for you during each Live Stream. What do you say?”
I twitched at the corners of my mouth: “Don’t joke around. You’re a public servant; I couldn’t possibly afford you.”
He smiled, a smile that was somewhat intriguing.
I pretended not to see it.
During this formation, my Spiritual Energy was overly depleted. The Spiritual Energy in the city was thin, so after bidding farewell to Tang Mingli, I took a taxi to a mountain not far from my home. I found a forest with abundant Spiritual Energy and sat down to meditate and cultivate.
After killing Chun Xing, the malevolent energy I absorbed gradually transformed into Spiritual Power. After guiding this Spiritual Power through eighteen cycles, I exhaled a long breath of turbid air and opened my eyes.
Chun Xing had killed many, so there was plenty of malevolent energy. This time, my Spiritual Energy increased significantly, and my meridians expanded a little.
I stretched, feeling really good.
I expelled a lot of impurities from my body, which had clung to my skin and felt greasy and foul. There was a four-star hotel nearby, so I got a room and thoroughly cleaned myself inside and out.
I sent my sportswear for dry cleaning at the hotel. With no clothes to wear, and since the central air conditioning was particularly warm, I was just in my underwear.
I had just laid down when I suddenly heard a noise at the door, and a man walked in dragging a suitcase.
I was startled and quickly pulled the blanket over myself.
The man was momentarily taken aback. He had just returned from abroad, as his father was unwell and undergoing rehabilitation at this hotel. He came straight from the airport.
Before coming, his aunt had called him, saying she had a mysterious gift for him but wouldn’t reveal what it was.
Could it be... this woman?
He looked me up and down, his eyes showing a mix of amazement, interest, and satisfaction, and asked, “Have you thought it through?”
I was confused—thought through what? Who was this person?
Seeing I didn’t respond, he assumed my silence was agreement and took off his coat, leaning over to embrace me.
I was startled again and punched him in the face.
His expression changed: “You know martial arts? Who are you?”
“I should be asking you that, you scoundrel!” I shouted angrily, unleashing all the basic boxing techniques I had learned.
To my surprise, this man was also skilled in martial arts, but he was no match for Tang Mingli; at most, he had achieved Bright Strength’s peak but hadn’t broken through to Dark Strength.
In terms of martial arts, I wasn’t his match, but I had Spiritual Energy on my side.
I threw a punch at him, and he countered. My punch contained a wisp of Spiritual Energy, and he staggered back several steps, clutching his tingling arm, astonished: “You’ve already broken through to Dark Strength?”
I picked up the hotel’s nightgown and wrapped it around myself, glaring at him in anger. I could tell he had an impressive background, so I hadn’t used my full strength; otherwise, his arm would have been broken.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened. A girl hurried in: “Bro, you’re back...” Her gaze fell on me, sweeping across my face, revealing a hint of hostility. “Bro, who is this woman? Your girlfriend from abroad?”
The man replied coldly, “I don’t know her.”
The girl immediately glared at him, sharply saying, “If you don’t know her, why is she in your room? And dressed like that? Is she another one of those seductresses?”
I frowned and said, “Miss, please don’t make baseless accusations. This is clearly my room, and you barged in here and attacked me—what does that mean?”
Before the man could speak, the girl shouted, “Your room? This is a luxury suite! Just look at you, can you even afford to stay in a room like this?”
I was furious; I had never stayed in a luxury suite before. After killing Chun Xing, I had broken through to a new level and wanted to treat myself, so I reluctantly booked this room, never expecting such a situation to arise.
“Call the hotel manager,” I said coldly, “Let’s see whose room it really is.”
I made a call to the front desk, and soon the manager arrived with a receptionist. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “I’m very sorry, everyone. Our hotel’s computer system has encountered some issues. This room was reserved by Mr. Xu, but the system indicates it hasn’t been booked out yet, which is why it was given to Madam Yuan.”
The girl glared at him: “What kind of service is this? Now that we’ve cleared this up, why aren’t you kicking her out?”
“Yes, yes,” the hotel manager quickly replied, “Madam Yuan, I’m really sorry. We no longer have any luxury suites available. How about we move you to an ordinary suite instead, and you won’t have to pay for tonight’s stay?”
I furrowed my brows, tempted; switching rooms wasn’t a big deal. It would save me money.
The girl sneered: “Did you hear that, you pauper? Hurry up and get out; you’ll save some cash!”
My anger flared up; I had been bullied since childhood. If it had been the old me, I would have retreated humbly, but now I had changed—why should I swallow this humiliation?
With a cold expression, I said, “Since the room has been given to me and I’ve paid for it, why should I leave? I checked in first, and I’m definitely not going anywhere.”
“You!” the girl shouted angrily, “Do you know who we are? How dare you fight us for a room?”
I gave her a dismissive glance: “Do you know what happened to the last person who said that to me?”
The girl opened her mouth to retort, but the man pulled her back. He appraised me and said, “Since this is a misunderstanding, I’m a man, and it’s only right to let a lady go first.”
“Bro!” the girl exclaimed, agitated.
The man held her back. “Let’s go,” he said, pulling her away.
I understood then—he thought I was a Dark Strength Martial Artist, which is why he chose to step down.
If I had backed down earlier, it would have only made them look down on me.
Sometimes, people are like this; you think that taking a step back means peace, but they see it as weakness and an invitation to bully.
My mood lightened considerably. The hotel quickly sent my cleaned clothes, and since the view from the hotel’s backyard was nice, I decided to take a walk.
This hotel, though only four stars, had beautiful surroundings and elegant decor, attracting many wealthy guests for rehabilitation. There were quite a few elderly people in the courtyard.
I took a deep breath; no wonder they liked coming here—the Spiritual Energy was rich, making it a place of great feng shui.
Just then, an elderly man in a gray Zhongshan suit approached me. As he passed by, he suddenly clutched his chest and collapsed in pain.
I rushed to help him: “Are you okay, sir?”
“What are you doing?” a girl shouted, rushing over and pushing me away with force. “Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Then she turned back to me, yelling, “What did you do to my grandpa?”
Wearing a hat and mask, she didn’t recognize me.
The old man’s face turned dark, and his lips turned purple: “Tingting, it’s not this young lady’s fault; I’ve had this problem for a long time.”
Tingting shot me a fierce glare and tried to help the old man up, but suddenly he started convulsing on the ground, his skin darkening rapidly, and it looked like he wouldn’t last much longer.
“Grandpa! Grandpa!” the girl screamed, “Bro, come quickly, grandpa is in trouble!”
The tall man from before rushed over, his face filled with anxiety, ready to carry the old man away to find a doctor.
“Wait!” I called out to him, “Where are you planning to take him?”
“Of course to the hospital!” the tall man glanced at me, furrowing his brow.
He recognized me.
