The second inn was perfectly normal.
The inn's lobby was filled with people drinking and chatting.
There are also many empty rooms.
The two of them booked two adjacent superior rooms, put down their luggage, and then went downstairs to eat.
The night was still dark and quiet, and the men who were drinking were clearly not yet done.
"A lot of young men have died in the city recently."
"You still don't know?"
"Don't know what?"
"I heard that the nine-tailed fox spirit has come to Luoyang. This is good news for all men!"
"Nine-tailed fox spirits only have eyes for handsome men; rough guys like us have no chance."
"Although I'm not bad looking, I don't want to be noticed by the nine-tailed fox at all."
"Indeed, any man who is targeted by that nine-tailed fox will end up dead in the streets after being played with. It's too tragic."
"Enough of this creepy stuff, come on, let's drink."
A group of drunkards were chatting enthusiastically, but in an instant, they started guzzling cat urine.
The waiter brought out the food and drinks, and Bian Lang took a bite. The taste was quite good.
"Brother Bian, do you know about the nine-tailed fox they're talking about?" Shangguan Hongyu's cheeks flushed slightly.
She knew that there were many womanizers in the martial arts world who preyed on respectable women, and even outlaws despised them.
But she had never heard of a woman who was promiscuous.
The nine-tailed fox spirit who picks flowers upside down is very likely Lu Suzhen.
It is said that this nine-tailed fox spirit, Lu Suzhen, would scout locations during the day, plunder women at night, and then kill them to cover her tracks; her methods were ruthless.
She was so beautiful that even a respectable man would be unable to resist taking a second look at her charming smile and would be unable to move.
Any man she sets her sights on will fall into her clutches that very night.
Bian Lang shook his head after thinking for a moment and said, "It's late, let's eat."
Shangguan Hongyu nodded, but found the food unappetizing.
"As far as I know, the flower butterfly Hua Chong, the little beauty Yuchi Shan, and the little poisoner Ouyang Ke have all come to Luoyang, saying they are going to hold some kind of flower picking party."
"I've also heard that this flower-picking party was proposed by Tian Boguang, the lone traveler, which has caused all the lecherous men in the world to gather in Luoyang. The beautiful women of Luoyang are probably going to suffer."
"No worries, no worries. Anyway, the women who are chosen are all from respectable families or modest households. They definitely wouldn't look at the old ladies in my family."
"Old dog, your daughter is quite pretty, but she might be in danger."
"Get the hell out of here."
Bian Lang frowned slightly as he heard the names the group of drunkards uttered.
This city of Luoyang is truly turning into a den of lecherous thieves.
Flower thieves and female flower thieves have all gathered in Luoyang to hold a flower-picking party, which is undoubtedly a severe humiliation to the righteous people of the martial arts world.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "I never expected that we would get to witness such a lively scene in Luoyang."
"Brother Bian, why do I feel like your smile is a little..." Shangguan Hongyu was too embarrassed to say those two words.
Bian Lang said, "I'm only interested in those female thieves who steal flowers."
"Brother Bian is handsome; he should be quite to the liking of those female thieves," Shangguan Hongyu teased with a smile.
Bian Lang smiled and said, "You're not bad either."
Flower Butterfly, Little Poison, Lone Wanderer—these guys are bound to fall for Shangguan Hongyu.
If there were a beauty list in the martial arts world, Shangguan Hongyu would definitely be on it.
After dinner, the two went back to their room to sleep.
When I woke up, it was very noisy outside the window.
Someone was cursing angrily.
Someone is crying.
Going downstairs, I asked the waiter and learned that many young women and handsome young men had been violated by those lecherous thieves the previous night.
A virgin has been ruined; she will find it very difficult to find a good husband in the future.
If a handsome young man is violated, the problem isn't that serious, but if his manhood is taken away, the consequences are even worse than for a virgin.
Those notorious flower thieves in the martial arts world would kill anyone they stole after picking flowers.
However, they did not do that in Luoyang last night, but what they did to those handsome young men was more cruel than killing them.
"These demons!" Shangguan Hongyu was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill all those flower thieves.
Bian Lang picked up a steamed bun and said with a smile, "Have a steamed bun."
Everyone in the inn was talking about it.
The news of the flower-picking party had already spread throughout Luoyang City months ago.
The government also posted notices to reassure the people of Luoyang that if those lecherous thieves dared to come to Luoyang, they would surely be buried there.
Since the notice was posted, the government has indeed increased patrols and troop deployment, which has made the people feel much more at ease.
But who could have imagined that dozens of young men and women would suffer in just one night?
The matter has caused a great uproar in the city. The victim's family members surrounded the government office, crying and demanding that the prefect come out and give an explanation.
At this critical juncture, the prefect of Luoyang naturally dared not show himself.
Those righteous figures from the martial arts world who came to Luoyang upon hearing the news felt ashamed.
They came to Luoyang intending to kill lecherous thieves and uphold justice, but they failed to capture even one.
After breakfast, I went out onto the street and saw that the people's faces all looked very strange.
Outside the government office, the scene was even more tragic.
Shangguan Hongyu saw this and clenched her fists.
Just then, the gates of the government office opened, and several constables strode out and began posting notices on both sides of the office.
The notice was simple: it called on righteous people in the martial arts world to step forward, kill evil, and rid the people of harm.
The head of a lecherous thief can be exchanged for a thousand taels of silver at the government office.
Even without a reward, many people in the martial arts world would want to rid the people of evil. Now that there is a reward, I'm afraid even the outlaws will take action.
