The vice squad was about to depart.
In a fit of rage, the Red King was leading his team to the brothel to furiously drum up some "business."
Just before they left, everyone stood ready. Zheng Xiu walked into the inn's courtyard and looked up. He saw a slender figure curled up on the roof, hugging their knees, basking alone in the moonlight.
Recalling Snake's strange behavior during dinner, Zheng Xiu thought for a moment. Then, using his hands and feet, he stealthily scrambled up a Pillar to the roof. Treading lightly on the tiles, he crept closer to Snake.
But before Zheng Xiu could get close, Snake, her back still to him, spoke without turning her head. "Stop hiding," she said sullenly. "I heard you ages ago."
"MEOW!"
On Zheng Xiu's head, the Orange Cat let out a mocking meow. Humiliated, Zheng Xiu slapped it hard on its rear.
"SLAP!"
The Orange Cat was stunned.
Zheng Xiu sat down next to Snake.
"Come on, Sister Ye is calling for you."
