How did I become a God ?

32.Red lanterns district

What was that ?! Women in heavy make-up winked at them flirtatiously or showed sexy poses exposing even more from under their mean clothes.

-I said ! But you didn't listen !-said well-ghost crossing his arms on his chest.

-LUOO !-Zhe Yu yelled searching around in this mass of fabrics and bodies wrapped in giggling. From the wall of women walked out not-that-tall lady with breathtaking light green eyes and long light hair. Her clothes were more proper and white, she was also a lot younger that the rest of them so she gave off a pure and refreshing felling.

-I told you not to come !-her childish voice sounded ashamed.

-Ah Luo I bought you a present !-he said gently and carefully took out the perfume from earlier but the girl didn't looked pleased. Her previous remark went in one ear and out the other.

So that's why he bought such sweet perfume !

-I said something !

The women crowded around them watching the scene groaned disappointed. If in his previous life they would certainly buy popcorn. Luo felt so ashamed her ears turned red and fled leaving Zhen Yu alone and at loss like an abandoned dog. Truly pitiful sight.

-Don't worry.-Shi Shuan tried to cheer him up.-She will come back. I'm sure.

When did he became a prophet ??? But Zhne Yu picked himself up really quickly and when he turned to him on his face was plastered friendly smile as always. He stored the perfume away.

-You're hungry, right Shidi ? I've been dragging you around for a whole day so I should at least treat you a decent meal.

Byakko was overjoyed to left this awful place and eat his full. He was just about to walk out but Zhen Yu put his hands on his shoulders and pushed him deeper inside where the smell was betting thicker. Shi Shuan cried with invincible tears.

-We're leaving.-well-ghost was near his bottom-line.

-Aiao~The food here is really the best. Just wait and see !-he said arranging a table.

-SAME AS ALWAYS, PLEASE !

The woman near prepared in advance and didn't even bother to come to the table just directly got to the kitchen. As they sat there a group of women approached their table with wine.

-Who are your companions, good mister ?-her voice was dripping with sweetness.

-Just a friend and his brother.-he said leisurely giving his glass to fill. The girl poured the wine with well-trained sexy movement.-Don't be shy Shidi !

But Shi Shuan didn't even thought about averting his gaze from super interesting cup. This place was really awful. Like in a pub or night club. Maybe even strip club... ? No, there wasn't any pipe. He wasn't used to this kind of places. His head was lowered but his red ears exposed his thoughts.

-Hey~sweet voice really close near his ears surprised him and he involuntary lifted his eyes. Women with curly dark hair touched caught his hands.-No need to be nervous. It's not a bad place~

Byakko helplessly looked at well-ghost who just smirked. He really wasn't going to help him ?!

A hand with a full wine glass filled his vision.

-Take a sip with us !-said Zhen Yu happily.-Your brother wants too ?

The spirit did good on his own and with aggressive movements poured himself full cup and gulped it down in one go. Everyone surprise quickly transformed in laughing.

Shi Shuan threw himself at pasta when the waitress.. or just one of the girls brought three. He focused on eating like if the world didn't exist... and two women on both his sides too.

-You're so cute~said that one with curly hair from earlier playing with a strand of his hair.-You've got such exclusive looks. Are you a foreigner ?

-I'm...

His tongue tied itself in knot after spitting out only one word what caused a another wave of giggle. He lowered his head even more.

-Drink a glass.-the hands previously gripping his now made their way to circle around his shoulders. He felt disgusted and his inside twisted but he just calmly endured.

-No... no need.

-You will get braver~she nagged in overly sweet voice pointing Zhne Yu who was happily enjoying himself drinking already third bottle by himself.

Her never ending nagging finally overpowered Shi Shuan and he gave up. It wasn't to his taste but he forced himself to pour into his mouth more that half of the cup with smile. Drinking didn't made his stomach any better. He wanted to vomit.

-Excuse me for a while.-he quickly got up and left. His black eyes followed his movements but well-ghost didn't bother to stand up and leisurely poured himself another glass unbothered about the women around.

Byakko not having the slightest idea where to look for a toilet walked deeper and deeper as the light were getting dimmer making the walls look like painted with blood. This red made him dizzy so he clashed at the door head on. He lightly pressed the handle and his face became red as tomato next moment his hand clasped in fist inside his sleeve. Why him ?! He screamed inside trying to unsee that shameful sight. The door should be locked while doing ,,that'' ! Specially at the inn !

Sound of footsteps made him jump in fright. But it was only well-ghost ,,graciously'' checking on him. But when he saw his red face he erupted with laughter.

-Let's go out.-he said quietly hidden in the dim light.

-Only now ?-he said teasing him.-You should have thought before. Come.

He gripped his arm and dragged to the entrance not bothering to save Zhen Yu some face.

Fresh air was a blessing for Shi Shuan's tensed senses. His stomach got back into the right place.

-What do you say when you wronged someone ?-he said wryly.

-...

-I'm not a child.

-So don't behave like one ! What was in your head when you followed him ?! Good that you didn't end up with a whore !

Shi Shuan just let himself being tell off. Well-ghost seeing that he felt guilty finally stoped and in a flash of light returned to being a Flame. They were outside the capital when the Flame finally spoke.

-I think I used up to much energy.-next flash of light and he disappeared.-Let me rest a little.

Not having anything to say about that he was left on his own. He didn't even notice when he had already walked past palace gate. It was utterly quiet. There wasn't even a sound of a crickets. But in this silence music echoed from afar.

-So he did make a party.-he sighed massaging his temples.

While he was enjoying the cool breeze caressing his face black silhouette stared at him. Not aware of the other's gaze he just stayed still with his eyes closed. Until he felt a warn breath alarmingly close to his face.
