Chapter 14 - Sober
I woke up the next morning feeling dizzy. My robe was somehow completely open, revealing more than I'd want to.
I quickly closed it and looked around. That's right, we're in the city.
Li is here to get the payment for his job. But where is he?
I looked around and soon spotted an outfit thrown over a chair.
It was beautifully made and the colours suited me perfectly.
I got up and slowly started to put it on. For some reason, I felt so light this morning.
My whole body felt like a weight had been lifted.
As I put the clothes on, I turned and gazed at myself in the mirror.
Aluna Yan
It's... beautiful!
A knock on the door made me turn as I smiled.
Thinking that it was Li Wei, I was slowly giddy to show him my new clothes. But it was Lu Aotian who walked in.
Lu Aotian
My, what a beautiful girl you are.
Lu Aotian
You break my heart. Asking for another man when I graciously came to visit you?
Lu Aotian
Well, I have no idea where he might be. Was he not with you last night?
Aluna Yan
I'm not sure. Everything was a blurr...
Aluna Yan
But I do feel lighter.
Lu Aotian
So his animalistic instincts didn't kick in after all...
He then looked at my dress and grinned.
Lu Aotian
But he has good tastes in clothes. Those suit you well, my dear.
Aluna Yan
If only he was here to see that...
Lu Aotian
Do you like Wei?
Aluna Yan
Well, he can be gentle and he is quite clumsy with his words but... he's a good person who cares for me.
Lu Aotian
You do realise that you are describing the top killer in the continent, right?
Aluna Yan
He is strong and I admire him for that. I want to be strong too so I want him to teach me how.
After our conversation, Lu Aotian left my room and headed towards the back of the tea house, where he sure enough found Li Wei staring at the water.
Lu Aotian
You did something to her last night... didn't you.
Lu Aotian
I can tell. You wouldn't be this troubled if you didn't.
He out out his hand, which shivered.
Li Wei
I touched her... I made her gasp and moan...
Lu Aotian
And? Isn't that a good thing?
Li Wei
How can these hands make someone feel good? Not only that... but I-
He stopped there, facing the floor in shame.
Lu Aotian
You want to possess her. You want to make her yours, chain her to your side forever.
Li Wei
Why... why do I want that?
Lu Aotian
You know what, this amuses me. I'm going to let you figure it out on your own.
Lu Aotian
Just so you know...
Lu Aotian
She remembers nothing of last night. The incense in the room was enough to make anyone lose their mind so don't worry about facing her.
