An Hao had told Li Zhao they wouldn't meet tonight as she had to study
The moon was out shining over the deserted streets past midnight. An Hao put on some rouge to make herself look extra cute and sneaked out of the dormitories into the moonlit streets. She would walk towards the seedy side of the city, towards the red lanterns where the gambling dens, brothels were. As she turned onto a dark street, men would walk towards her drunk, sometimes talking to themselves, sometimes cat calling her. She would walk the dark streets hoping to meet someone with dark intentions. Her thirst for physical intimacy was satisfied by Li Zhao but her thirst for human energy could only be satisfy by draining the life of someone she preferred to be despicable. She walked in silence looking fragile and gentle through the dark streets hoping a predator may find her. Someone seem to have taken the bait. "Miss turn around and show me your beautiful face, I have gold for you, don't walk away". An Hao continued walking but looked back. An older chubby man in his mid 40s wearing a dark robe followed behind. "Stop miss, let me see that face again, we can have lots of fun together". His foot steps picked up the pace. An Hao sped up a little, and the man sped up to a run and finally grabbed her by her arm. "I told you to stop, a woman must listen to a man of her senior". An Hao with a frightened face "Please let me go, I'm just on a walk to get fresh air, I am not the kind of woman you think I am". The man looked at her, then took his hand off her and fumbled in his pockets and pulled out a gold nugget, "Is this enough?, I like this innocent act I will play along, who in there right mind would be here walking at night alone if not for a whore". An Hao with an innocent stare "Please I just needed fresh air, you have mistaken, please leave me alone!". An Hao had come up with a system to give these men three strikes. If they failed all three strikes then the tides would turn and she would drain them of their life. She figured if these men were forcing themselves on her they were surely doing that to other women as well. It would be a benefit to society to remove them. The man looked impatient and angry "Stop it with the act, I offered you the gold nugget and you are still trying to refuse me!, I'm going to have you tonight and give you nothing for disrespecting me like this". As he walked forward aggressively to try and grab An Hao. A strong kick from the side smashed the man to the ground leaving him unconscious. The kick didn't come from An Hao, to her surprise standing in front of her was the tall handsome Yang Bei moonlit like a dashing hero.
An Hao looked at him suspiciously and a little seductively enjoying his physical beauty but disappointed he had interrupted her feast "Why are you here?"
Yang Bei a little nervous looked down "Sorry I live close to Wen Long Academy and sometimes.. I sneak out for a late walk at night... when I saw you walking by yourself, I couldn't help... but follow you.... I was just too curious"
An Hao uncontrollably put her right hand around Yang Bei's chin caressing a part of his lips and lifted his head up staring into his eyes "Why are you so curious?" then letting go
Yang Bei was slightly shocked looking at her seductive red lips "You are incredibly beautiful, I haven't forgotten you since we first met". An Hao circled him and hugged him from behind holding onto his warm hard stomach and pressing her face and body into his back. This caught Yang Bei off guard, and he stood frozen. An Hao then whispered into his ear "Don't follow me again".
When he turned around An Hao was gone.
An Hao used lightness kung fu and ran off as quick as she could getting back into her room, she sat in the corner of her room on the floor holding her head. She could feel she was losing control of the urges she had almost wanted to get intimate with Yang Bei. The forbidden internal kung fu side effects were getting out of hand. Ever since using physical intimacy to heal Li Zhao, her control over her urges were barely manageable. With this downside there was also an upside, her internal energy was stronger than it had ever been, she figured she could probably fight on equal ground with An Jian or Li Zhao.
An Hao closed her eyes and took long deep breaths "I will find a solution and outsmart this book, there is an answer to all of this". She regained her composure and started looking through her books again.
