Chapter 409: 409: To the 29th Floor!
Chapter 409: To the 29th Floor!
Everyone stepped out of the elevator, only feeling a discomforting chill.
Huang Xiaolong looked around, the entire 28th floor was filled with wisps of black, resentful energy and with the flickering lights in the corridor added to the eerie atmosphere.
The corridor was unusually long and the deeper they went in, the stronger the negative energy terrified them.
“Um… Could there be some sort of problem here?” A young woman from Sun family’s third generation nervously pulled her collar closer to her neck and mumbled. “That pregnant woman, Lan Ke’er, disappeared on this same floor.”
The memories of the surveillance video featuring Lan Ke’er’s gut-wrenchingly horrific behavior filled their minds, sending shivers down the spines of many in the Sun Family.
Sun Wei clung tighter to Huang Xiaolong, timidly whispering, “Little Long…I’m feeling a bit scared.”
“You’re all martial artists raised since childhood, how can you be so fearful? Humph!” Sun Hu scolded scornfully.
“Let’s all go back to our rooms.” Huang Xiaolong led Sun Wei towards his room. It wasn’t midnight yet, the time when the negative energy was at its peak and ghosts appeared in full force. So, Huang Xiaolong decided to wait.
As for the missing Lan Ke’er, she was likely killed by a fierce ghost. Going to the 29th floor wouldn’t bring her back now, they would at most encounter her wandering spirit…
“You’re staying in the room at the end of the hall, you need to be exceptionally careful.” Huang Xiaolong smiled at Sun Feng.
“Huh?” Sun Feng halted in his tracks and looked perplexedly at Huang Xiaolong.
“Usually, you can’t stay in the first or last room of a hotel because the rooms facing the stairs are, from a Feng Shui perspective, in the Azure Dragon and Bai Hu spot. These rooms harbour the most negative energy and are haunted more frequently. That’s why, people staying in the first or last room of a hotel usually feel an inexplicable sense of oppression and nervous tension, they might even suffer from insomnia, suffocation, or nightmares.” Huang Xiaolong finished with a smile at Sun Feng.
“Tsk, I’m a martial artist, I don’t believe in such things!” Sun Feng retorted stubbornly.
Huang Xiaolong paid him no further mind.
Huang Xiaolong and Sun Wei arrived at their room’s door.
After the disappearance of Lan Ke’er, Sun Wei didn’t want to stay alone any longer. She was quite eager to be in the same room with Huang Xiaolong. As for rumors or gossip… hahaha… During the charity auction dinner of the Four Great Families, Sun Wei had openly admitted that she belonged to Huang Xiaolong. Now, even if she shared a room with him, she was not afraid of any behind-the-scenes gossip.
Upon swiping his room card, the door opened. Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s ears twitched a few times as he heard faint footsteps from inside the room. However, when he entered the room with Sun Wei and turned on the light, they found nothing. Only the curtain was undulating slightly as if moved by a breeze.
‘Hehe – dare to infiltrate my room? Just asking for trouble!’
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, then calmly shut the door.
“Little Long~~ I’m so tired~~~~~” As soon as she entered the room, Sun Wei raced to the bed, collapsed on it in all directions without any ladylike elegance.
Being alone with Sun Wei in a room at this dead of the night and knowing how much she loved him, Huang Xiaolong was somewhat restless and eager to officially claim Sun Wei.
Cough cough~~ After having a taste of Liu Feilei, Huang Xiaolong found himself wanting more.
“Sister Bai Hu, come… come here…” Huang Xiaolong beckoned to Sun Wei with a teasing smile.
Sun Wei’s face was blushing bright red, her eyes watery, she obediently rose, and walked over to Huang Xiaolong. She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her head lightly against his chest, felt his powerful heartbeat, and was overwhelmed with a sense of security and boundless love.
“Little Long… tonight… are you really going to devour me?” Sun Wei looked up at Huang Xiaolong with her starry eyes, her face showing an implicit agreement.
Inwardly, she cheered loudly… ‘Oh my God! Tonight, I’m going to officially become his woman! I’m so lucky!’
As Huang Xiaolong played with Sun Wei’s hair, he grinned and said, “Sister Bai Hu, without any doubt, I will devour you, you can’t escape. But, not tonight…”
“Huh?” Sun Wei was taken aback.
While she was very puzzled in her heart, they were already in the room, just the two of them, if not tonight then when? Could he resist?
Unexpectedly, Sun Wei got a little panicked and even began to doubt her own charm, “Little Long, am I… am I not pretty enough? Not as pretty as… as Song Yuru and that what’s-her-name Cui Feiyan?”
“Hahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong burst out laughing. “Sister Bai Hu, what are you talking about? You are very attractive, and I like your style. However, I have serious business to handle tonight.”
“Serious business?” Sun Wei became even more confused.
“Sister Bai Hu, to tell you the truth, there is a big problem with this hotel. To put it bluntly, this hotel is haunted…” Huang Xiaolong smirked again. “Later on, I am going to catch ghosts! Sister Bai Hu, would you like to join?”
“Ah? There are ghosts?” Sun Wei’s body shook. Although she normally didn’t believe in ghosts or superstitions, she took Huang Xiaolong’s words as the truth. If Huang Xiaolong had told her that the sun rose from the west, she would believe it. “Little Long, are you saying… that Lan Ke’er’s disappearance… is… is related to ghosts?”
“Sister Bai Hu is indeed smart,” Huang Xiaolong smiled and then checked the time. “Here, let’s turn off the lights first. After a while, you will see … a ghost.”
Huang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously, then turned off all the lights in the room, gently embracing Sun Wei by her slender waist, and the two of them sat on the edge of the bed.
More than an hour later…
“Little Long… if we wait like this, can we really see a ghost?” Sun Wei asked cautiously. The night was deep, but Sun Wei had no intention of sleeping.
“Uh… of course, you can. That is… Sister Bai Hu, get ready. It’s coming.” Huang Xiaolong’s pupil flashed with a faint light.
Suddenly, the room’s curtain was lifted, and a white figure darted in through the window!
The room was immediately filled with a chilly wind!
The white figure was a horrific long-haired female ghost, her eyes rolled back revealing the whites and a trace of fresh blood seeping through the corners of her eyes.
She was bouncing around Huang Xiaolong’s room, seemingly entertaining herself.
This ghost was a wandering spirit, not yet a fierce ghost, it typically wouldn’t harm people but occasionally liked to tease them or have them dream of it while asleep.
“You think my place is a playground?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, and without hesitation he burnt a reveal charm.
A flash of golden light! The dark room was suddenly illuminated!
Sun Wei saw the long-haired female ghost!
Suddenly, Sun Wei felt cold down her spine. Cold sweat poured from her forehead. Her teeth chattering, she tightly hugged Huang Xiaolong and couldn’t utter a word.
“Uh~~~~~” the long-haired female ghost also realized that Huang Xiaolong and Sun Wei could see her.
Surprisingly, the ghost face of the long-haired woman became sinisterly terrifying, with resentful eyes and bloodshot eyes, creating an extremely horrifying image.
“Don’t fucking scare people. Where did you float in from?” Huang Xiaolong said sternly. “Where is Lan Ke’er? Did you guys kill her?”
“Ha, ha, ha~~~ Why should I tell you?” The long-haired female ghost didn’t care at all. She chuckled grimly and then vomited a mass of ghostly energy that wafted towards Huang Xiaolong and Sun Wei!
Although the long-haired female ghost had not evolved into a fierce ghost, ordinary people would be bewitched just by getting slightly tainted by this kind of ghostly energy.
“Nevermind, even if you don’t tell me, I know. You came from the 29th floor, right? You dared to come play in my room, you’re seeking death!” Huang Xiaolong sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a golden charm blasted out from his palm, blasting the long-haired female ghost to smithereens!
After getting rid of the long-haired female ghost, Huang Xiaolong pulled Sun Wei up. “Sister Bai Hu, I’m going to take you to have some fun now! Hehehe, dare to join me?”
Although Sun Wei was just scared by a ghost, after witnessing Huang Xiaolong’s superb ghost extermination methods, her fear subsided, replaced by deeper admiration for Huang Xiaolong.
“Wow~~ Little Long, I didn’t expect you to have such ability! The longer I stay with you, the more unfathomable I find you. It’s like you have surprises every day! I’m so lucky!” Sun Wei was so excited that she even kissed Huang Xiaolong on the face. “I dare! I dare to go! With you, I am not afraid of anything!”
Huang Xiaolong laughed, was in high spirits, and then took Sun Wei’s hand and left the room.
Outside in the corridor, the ominous yin energy hovered heavily, eerily quiet, with the lights flickering.
Huang Xiaolong pulled Sun Wei to the end of the corridor.
“Ah? Little Long, why did you bring me here? This is the end of the corridor. There’s no way to go.” Sun Wei wondered.
“Sister Bai Hu, look,” Huang Xiaolong burnt another reveal charm, breaking the ghost’s illusion.
In an instant, an ancient, patched wooden staircase appeared before their eyes.
This staircase led straight to the upper floor!
“Oh my god!!!!!” Sun Wei covered her mouth in amazement, her eyes wide. “There’s… there’s… there’s another floor…”
“Sister Bai Hu, now I’m taking you to the most fun place in this hotel, the 29th floor. Let’s go take a look~~~” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
