Twisted Dreams-Chapter 183 - 155: Collecting the Debt (Part 1)

The XuanYi car navigated through the night in South Sea City.

Li Yang drove very steadily, but sitting in the passenger seat, Qian Lele wasn’t feeling at ease.

She was wondering if there would be any danger soon.

After all, it was about collecting a debt, and she had heard plenty of stories during her journalism career about people losing limbs over it.

The car drove for a long time before stopping at the entrance of a star-rated hotel.

Qian Lele was stunned for a moment.

Is this the place for collecting the debt?

Before she could react, Li Yang had already gotten out of the car and walked swiftly into the hotel, without even locking the car.

Qian Lele hurriedly got out and followed him into the hotel.

Looking at the lavish hotel lobby, she felt a bit nervous, with sweat on her nose.

She discreetly hid an ashtray from a coffee table in the rest area inside her coat.

If a fight breaks out, at least she’d have something for self-defense.

This scene was noticed by Li Yang.

He frowned but didn’t say much.

Li Yang walked with Qian Lele towards the elevator; in the future, she would be a Desire Merchant herself and would have to collect debts, so this was a lesson.

Qian Lele glanced suspiciously at the reception desk.

They acted as if they didn’t see her and the others.

Qian Lele cautiously looked at Li Yang waiting for the elevator, wondering if he had used some kind of Magic.

The elevator arrived.

.....

Li Yang stood at the elevator entrance for a while, then purposefully headed down the left hallway and stopped at a room door.

"Knock." Li Yang said calmly.

Qian Lele had her hand inside her coat, ready to pull out the ashtray she had taken, as she knocked on the door with the other hand.

’Knock knock knock.’

Soon, the door opened.

Qian Lele had expected a fierce-looking guy, but it was a voluptuous beauty instead.

The voluptuous woman was wearing a black nightgown, stockings, and heavy makeup.

At this time in a hotel dressed like this, anyone would know what she was about to do next.

Qian Lele widened her eyes.

Weren’t they here to collect a debt?

Did they find the wrong person?

When the voluptuous woman saw the two of them at the door, especially Li Yang behind Qian Lele, her seductive smile froze, replaced by obvious panic.

Her name was Li Yingxin, a patron of the Desire Trade Bar.

She didn’t always look this beautiful, nor was she this mesmerizing.

Originally, she was a housewife neglected by her husband, and in exchange for desire, she traded for a few drinks at the Desire Trade Bar.

Those drinks were magical; drinking them changed Li Yingxin significantly.

She became very beautiful, her body better, her voice sweeter.

Those drinks didn’t give her a new face, but they made her existing face more beautiful.

Fine lines faded, her skin became delicate, her features more refined, her bust larger, her waist thinner, and her hips fuller.

In fact, any woman doesn’t need cosmetic surgery to become a beauty.

Li Yingxin swallowed nervously and asked:

"Why, why are you here?"

Like a child caught doing something wrong.

She indeed did something she shouldn’t have.

She became beautiful to win back her husband’s affection, but at this moment, the lover she was meeting wasn’t her husband.

Initially, the beautiful Li Yingxin did win her husband back from numerous mistresses.

Her husband even started taking her to banquets and dinners, where partners’ compliments on her beauty made her husband proud.

Gradually, Li Yingxin noticed many outstanding men.

These men had her husband’s youthful vigor and even more money, with more elegant manners.

One even booked a luxury cruise to Europe for her birthday.

And promised to buy her a small island in the future, to create a peaceful paradise for her.

Such a cultured and wealthy man deeply impressed Li Yingxin.

Compared to him, her husband was coarse, like a nouveau riche.

Gradually, Li Yingxin lost her original intention and had a new love.

Her husband, of course, noticed Li Yingxin’s change, begged, and tried to win her back.

But once trapped in the whirlpool of desire, how can one easily break free?

She divorced.

Tonight, in the hotel suite, she prepared a candlelit dinner, dressed beautifully, waiting to celebrate with her fiancé, to spend a romantic evening.

Li Yang looked at the dense Desire Power on Li Yingxin and revealed a greedy smile:

"Looks like you’re having a good time."

Li Yingxin peered out, looked around, and seeing no one, nervously said:

"Can we talk later?

I’ll find you tomorrow."

After speaking, Li Yingxin tried to close the door.

A hand grabbed the door edge, slowly pulling it open.

Li Yingxin frowned.

She was meeting a very important person, who mustn’t see her entangled with someone else. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

She was somewhat impatient but dared not show it.

Li Yingxin sighed and said:

"My boyfriend is very powerful; if he sees us together, there’ll be trouble."

She regarded Li Yang as an unseeable fortune, a secret weapon.

"In the future, I’ll meet more such outstanding people, I’ll become better, and as I thrive, so will you, won’t you?

In the future, you’ll help me become beautiful, no, consider it cooperation!

I don’t dare say you can do as you please in South Sea City, but you’ll have whatever you want when you need it."

As Li Yingxin spoke more, she became more and more excited.

Yet what she saw was Li Yang’s indifferent eyes.

Li Yang said coldly:

"According to the contract, your desires belong to me."

Only then did Li Yingxin remember she had signed a contract.

She hadn’t taken it seriously and even repeatedly asked Li Yang what the cost of drinking such drinks was.

Li Yang always replied she had already paid.

Terror appeared in Li Yingxin’s eyes:

"What, what are you going to do?"

Li Yang produced the contract signed with Li Yingxin’s name from his coat.

The Desire Power on Li Yingxin surged toward the contract like a sentient Flame.

Moments later, the contract absorbed Li Yingxin’s Desire Power.

After completing this, Li Yang retrieved the contract and turned away.

Li Yingxin had a gut feeling that once that man left, she would never be able to meet again and never obtain that magical drink.

Li Yingxin hurriedly said:

"Wait a moment!"

Li Yang did not pause, heading towards the elevator.

Li Yingxin knew Li Yang was angry, but she didn’t understand why.

If he had such means, why not capitalize?

Li Yingxin sighed, seeing Qian Lele staring at her unblinkingly, and said irritably:

"What are you looking at?"

Qian Lele’s eyes slowly filled with fear:

"Your, your face..."

Li Yingxin remembered something, quickly went back to her room to check her face.

She was dumbfounded.

Her chest and hips had shriveled, lines crept up, and her skin appeared swarthy.

"Ah!!!!!!"

Li Yingxin let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Qian Lele slowly retreated, somewhat frightened, and hurried to catch up with Li Yang.

A middle-aged man holding a bouquet of roses brushed past Qian Lele.

Not long after, Qian Lele heard the man’s startled cry:

"Who are you! What are you doing here!

No, it’s you?

You didn’t look like this before!"

Clearly, that man was Li Yingxin’s lover.

Qian Lele swallowed hard.

Is this what "collecting a debt" means?

No bloody scene occurred, very civilized.

However, the bizarreness was far more terrifying than the word "bloody"!
