Nearing the outer boundaries of the slums, the boy stopped running and started to tippy-toe hurriedly. Although he had to slow down his pace, he was getting ever closer to his destination.

Out of nowhere, he flinched as he encountered an old man dressed in rags kneeling down in front of him.

“Sir, I’ve been waiting all this time for someone like you. You have the features to become a great hero in the future!”

The boy smiled awkwardly. He inwardly cursed the toad for wasting his time. Time was money and he wasted valuable time for no gain. If he had left earlier, he would probably not have had to deal with this beggar.

“Don’t go! I will suffer for revealing a Heavenly secret, but although I will suffer for this, I must simply tell you your fortune!” The old man mumbled in a coarse voice as he grabbed onto the boy’s legs.

The boy’s face suddenly changed and became very serene and angelic as he reached into his clothes and pulled out a coin purse.

“Thank you for your efforts. Although I don’t have much, please take this.” The boy said as he handed over the coin purse.

As soon as the beggar moved his hands to grab onto the coin purse, the boy had mysteriously disappeared.

The beggar smiled brightly with tears forming at the edge of his eyes. The coin purse was very light, and it was likely just nothing much. Yet, the beggar had heartfelt belief that a boy with such a generous heart would really become a great hero.

As he noticed another person approaching, he kneeled back down and repeated exactly what he had just said to the boy.

A beautiful girl nervously paced around in her bedroom. Her silk smooth cheeks were flushed red with expectation and embarrassment.

The girl wore a simple dress, yet she was very attractive. She had changed from her pajamas in preparation, but her heart was still not ready. She was a simple and inexperienced maiden.

Ling was in a nervous wreck. She had been contemplating very considerably about this over the past few weeks before deciding to indulge herself. Yet, she was still hesitant. This would be her first time!

Suddenly, Ling’s heart stopped when she heard a silent tap on her door. It would be unlikely to be anyone else at this time of the night, so she figured it must be him.

She froze as she thought about the things she had heard about Adrian. She had heard from one of her older, more experienced girlfriends that if Adrian would perform his best every night, then she would live a very comfortable life. However, would it be right to do such a thing? With the wealth she possessed, there would be countless other ways to indulge herself.

On one end, her reputation may be tarnished. On the other hand, she found it difficult to resist the temptation as she had often fantasized about doing this before.

She finally reasoned that she only have one life to live and it would be silly to be so old-fashioned. She would just try it once, and if she didn’t like it, then she simply wouldn’t do it again.

Ling’s voice trembled as she said, “Please come in.”

Adrian walked in and Ling closed the door quietly behind him. He was tired and his face was flushed red. His dress was not so modest as his pants were stretched by his encounter with the beggar and his thin clothing was wet from his sweat.

Seeing Adrian’s wild appearance ignited a strange feeling in Ling’s heart. Her movement was stiff and droplets of sweat were forming on her face. Her hands felt very moist. She was trying very hard to avoid eye contact with Adrian.

The room was spacious and well decorated with modest furniture. It was dimly lit with light crystals and had a faint, sweet fragrance that permeated the room. The room gave off a very relaxing feeling. The bed, that was big enough for two, was looking very alluring to Adrian.

Breaking the silence, Adrian curiously asked, “Is this your first time doing this sort of thing?”

Ling averted her eyes and nodded her head.

Adrian smiled precariously.

Seeing Adrian’s smile, Ling realized that she was the one in control. Why was she nervous? He had to satisfy all her needs tonight.

Finding her confidence, she whispered firmly: “Get prepared, you will not be sleeping tonight!”
