Chapter 166: The Beauty Knocks on the Door at Night
Upon learning that another scholar had moved into the east wing, Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel sympathy for his own kind and grief for the loss of a rabbit.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji were able to quickly become partners with Yan Chixia because they had experienced things involving ghosts and gods. However, the scholar from the east had obviously not experienced such a thing and was full of resistance to them.
Once the scholar and his servant closed the door, they could not break in.
With good intentions in his heart, Ning Caichen still reminded her outside the door, saying, "Be careful at night and don't open the doors or windows at will."
Although these doors and windows do not look very sturdy, they are closed tightly, just like the door of the heart is closed tightly. At least there is a cover, so it cannot be broken into immediately.
The lights in the room were on, but no response was heard.
Ning Caichen sighed and turned away.
Seeing him hit a wall, Yan Chixia said, "I've seen this happen a lot. If someone refuses to listen, there's nothing we can do. No matter how much you persuade him, it will only be seen as ulterior motives. Let's wait until he actually encounters something strange. Seeing it with his own eyes is more effective than us talking."
Ning Caichen had no choice but to obey the experienced Yan Chixia.
Ma Junji looked at Ning Caichen's face and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Brother Ning looks much better now. He looked so pale during the day. It scared me to death."
Ning Caichen still felt dizzy. Although he had slept and eaten for a whole day, the feeling of fatigue still lingered.
Ning Caichen said, "I'm fine now. I'm just worried about how to spend the night. Should we continue to stay together or sleep separately?"
Yan Chixia was startled and said quickly, "Let's sleep separately. Last night, we were crammed together, and they had no choice but to capture our souls. If we sleep separately tonight, they will definitely think it's an opportunity. Then we can catch one of them and torture him thoroughly."
Ning Caichen had no objection, as he was already scared by Yan Chixia's snoring.
Ma Junji had no objection and fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed. Although Ning Caichen described it as terrifying last night, he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he was not that scared.
Ning Caichen, on the other hand, was filled with worry. "I don't know when Brother Mingfu will be able to arrive. After this matter is settled, I need to focus on preparing for the exam."
When talking about the college entrance examination, Ma Junji became unhappy.
In the blink of an eye, they had wasted two days. Ma Junji had been running for his life all day and had no time to read.
Yan Chixia said, "Alright, go back and rest. Close the door and don't come out if you hear any noise."
Ma Junji asked, "Are you not waiting for Brother Mingfu?"
Yan Chixia said, "No need to wait, he will come when he says he will."
Ma Junji was puzzled: "Why do you seem to know him better than I do?"
Ning Caichen suddenly understood something and said, "Let's go back and rest."
The three of them blew out the lights and went to sleep, and the entire monastery became quiet.
Only one lamp was still on in the east wing. The servant slept on the floor and left the bed for the scholar.
The scholar was reading by lamplight, but he was not reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but a county annals.
The night gradually deepened.
The book boy was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the ground with his eyes half closed, while the scholar was still studying hard, with ambition glittering in his eyes.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door. The scholar glanced at the sleeping servant on the ground, frowned, and ignored it.
But the knock on the door came again, and a soft and charming voice said, "Sir, open the door."
The voice is so tender and lovely that just by listening to it one can imagine how beautiful the girl must be.
The scholar's heart moved, and he opened the door halfway. He saw a delicate woman standing at the door, with a shy look between her eyebrows. She said, "Sir, it's cold at night. I wonder if you can let me in to talk."
The scholar opened the door to let her in, then closed the door.
The woman stood beside him, looking at him quietly with affection in her eyes. Her tacit gesture and suggestive expression made the scholar's heart burn with anger.
He glanced at the sleeping servant on the ground, pushed the girl against the wall, and gently stroked her face.
The woman seemed moved and slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the scholar's kiss.
The scholar's breath sprayed on her ear, but she didn't wait for that kiss. Instead, she heard his voice ringing in her ear: "Take me to see her."
The woman slowly opened her eyes, still full of love, and asked, "Who are you meeting?"
The scholar lifted her chin and said, "The person behind you, the Flower-scattering Goddess of Orchid Village, my... great-great-aunt."
The woman looked at the scholar with a smile, put her hands on his shoulders, then turned around and took the initiative, pressing the scholar against the wall.
She placed one hand across the scholar's chest, almost pressing her entire body on him. She looked up at the scholar, her watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, fully reflecting his shadow.
She asked, "Flower-scattering goddess? Do you really want to see her?"
The scholar said, "Of course."
The woman laughed and said, "I hope you won't regret it."
She turned around and ruthlessly left the scholar behind, walked out the door, then turned back and winked at him: "Wait for me to pick you up."
When the door was closed, the scholar's heart was beating like a drum and his face flushed red. He could feel the fragrance of the girl all over his body and hands.
His mind was in turmoil for a moment, and he thought to himself, "If I meet my great-grandaunt, I will definitely ask her to arrange a marriage for me."
After the woman closed the door, the spring in her face disappeared without a trace. She revealed a sarcastic smile and walked towards the monks' quarters in the south.
First, it was Ma Junji’s room.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered. She opened her mouth and called for help, her voice as sweet as honey, but still no one answered.
She put her ear to the door and heard only silence inside and the sound of even breathing.
"Sleeping so soundly?" A suspicious expression appeared on her face. She knocked on the door again. The breathing sound remained unchanged, and she couldn't help but admire it.
She had no choice but to go to Ning Caichen's door and knocked gently a few times. No one answered, but she could already hear the disordered breathing inside.
She laughed triumphantly, knocked on the door again, and shouted in a cold and panicked voice: "Help, open the door, save me quickly."
There was a sound of bedding being lifted from inside the door. She adjusted her expression, revealing a face full of panic and fear, just waiting for the person inside to open the door.
The door didn't open, but the person inside had droopy eyelids, a dark bruise under his eyes, and a look of indifference and anger on his face. He cursed through the door: "Are you done with your performance? If you're done, leave now and don't disturb my sleep!"
The woman listened to the scolding voice from inside the door, "Knocking on the door in the middle of the night is either a prostitute or a ghost, disturbing my sleep, I don't know what it means!"
She was dumbfounded, unable to understand why her charm had failed. She was well aware of her own charm, or rather, her seductive power. She was born with it, naturally charming, and didn't need to learn any tricks to seduce people; her every word and action was already enough to attract people.
This is her talent. Not only does it make men obsessed with her, but it also makes women feel pity for her.
But for some reason it lost its effect on Ning Caichen. Could it be that when a person is in a trance, his resistance to seduction techniques will increase?
She stamped her feet and said, "Just wait, you will suffer!"
