When Han Sen's mind returned, the woman was gone. She had already taken the Empty Spirit Witch back through the wooden doors.
While the Empty Spirit Witch was in the process of leaving, she looked back at Han Sen's pack as if she really missed the gourd.
The old wooden doors shut, then disappeared from the sky.
Han Sen had a long sigh. When he touched his forehead, he felt nothing. Taking a peek at himself in his mirror, he noticed that the rouge from earlier had vanished. It had been replaced with what appeared to be the symbol of a lotus; although you'd have to pay close attention to determine what it was. On a passing glance, you would merely assume it to be a dot or pimple.
"These assholes! Do they have nothing better to do than going around leaving stamps on people?!" Han Sen shouted angrily.
