36th Break: Comrade 

In the middle of the night, the residents are all sleeping deeply, making the capital look peaceful, but in fact, it is actually restless, for there were multiple figures hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike tonight to catch their prey, as well as do other businesses that could only be done in the dark.

In the Yang family's inn, a slender and fair woman was standing in the middle of the room while staring at the closed window before her, as if waiting for someone to arrive. The bright moonlight passed through the window pane and touched her bare feet. This would have been a very beautiful picture, had it not been known that this room is actually the room where the 'ghost' appears!

"Don't you think it was already a long time?" the woman inside the room spoke in a quiet voice, as if afraid of disturbing the people in the other rooms who were sleeping deeply.

But, no one answered her, as if she was really all alone in the room.

"It is already enough, right?" the woman spoke again, and her pinkish thin lips were pursed. "Who else do you think would come aside from you?" she asked and looked at one direction.

However, no one answered her again. The woman's delicate brows knitted, showing her impatience, and she clenched her fists. She finally turned to face the space behind the door.

"I already told you, no one will come!" the woman said as her voice slightly rose, showing that she was angry. "Who else would come, name some?" she asked as she stared at the dark area behind the door, showing a faint figure as if the person she was waiting for finally was convinced of her words. "Those people in Huichen, although smart, but weak! They don't dare to come and arrest me even if they have already found me!" she said as she gnashed her teeth in anger.

The figure hiding behind the door and in the dark moved, revealing his presence.

The woman sighed in relief when she finally saw that her comrade had arrived. "You really are here." She said and looked at the vague figure standing not far from here and still in the dark. "That thing is not with Jin Peng, that bastard!" she said and lowly cursed. "Someone already beat us with Wen Liao, and beat us again with Jin Peng!" she frowned, feeling displeased.

The figure in the dark didn't speak, as if he didn't hear her.

The woman snorted and glared at her comrade. "Why? Dissatisfied with working with me?" she said and sneered. "Don't think I need you! If I just don't find it troublesome that my cover was blown, and I have to create a new one, would I ask for help from the gang?" she asked.

Finally, the figure spoke. "It was your fault that your cover was blown. You were overconfident and high-profiled." He spoke. "'ghost'?" he snorted in disdain. "Don't blame me for your incompetence!" he said.

The woman's mouth fell open in shock before her face twisted in anger. "Shut up!" she snapped as she finally turned to remove her clothes.

The figure doesn't leave, since he already knows the true identity of this 'woman' who is acting as a 'ghost' of the Yang family's inn.

"Damn it… truly disgusting!" the 'woman' cursed as 'she' threw 'her' clothes on the bed while frowning, revealing 'her' flat chest and abdominal muscles. "You don't know how much I have to sacrifice just to get near that Jin Peng! Touched by those rotten men's hands… ugh!" 'she' said and wanted to vomit when she recalled what happened in the floating brothel.

The figure didn't speak, acting like he didn't hear 'her'.

The 'woman', who is actually Ah Yu – the flower seller, rolled his eyes and wore his inner clothes before he turned to look at his comrade. "Right. What is your plan? Which identity are you planning to make do find the others in the capital who might have taken that thing?" he asked.

The Writhing Snake Gang, from their name 'snake', shed their skins. That is, their members are good with disguising. This is how Jin Peng – that lecher, was deceived by Ah Yu, who was acting as a female flower seller and took her to be one of the prostitutes for his floating brothel. It was just a pity that before he could kill Jin Peng, someone beat him to it again.

That thing was already gone that even Jin Peng didn't notice and was as shocked as him when he checked after he asked him where that thing was. Then, Jin Peng thought that it was actually him who took it and was just mocking him by asking him where that thing was, so he and Jin Peng fought, and he killed Jin Peng. Well, he had to kill Jin Peng since Jin Peng could already guess his identity as 'Ah Yu', the flower seller who he just took to his floating brothel that night.

"You don't need to know." His comrade spoke.

Ah Yu finally can't take it and he snorted in disdain. "If you won't say it, then don't say it!" he said. "I am just being polite in asking you." He told him before he went to his bed to sleep. "What? Are you planning to stay here and sleep with me?" he asked and raised his brow when he saw that his comrade still hadn't left. "This is surprising… you, who usually acted like you are disgusted with me, actually wanted to sleep with me?" he asked and grinned. Then, as if responding to his words, he saw his comrade slowly walk out of the darkness and into the moonlight. "Yo! You really wanted to sleep with m - ?" he asked when, suddenly, he felt that his throat was caught.

His eyes widened and he looked at his comrade, but he couldn't see his face. Now that he suddenly looked at him, he noticed that the person was taller than usual, and well-built, completely unlike what he was in his memories.

Could it be…? Ah Yu's mouth fell open in shock, but no voice came out. He also felt that his body can't move. This isn't his comrade!
