"Why are we night hunting!" Jin Ling complained. "You said you knew someone to help!"
The sun had started to set. Which made the trees around them glow a nice orange color. Sizhui was walking around the forest trying not to get hurt by the branches.
"We're trying time find Lin ChangYing she goes night hunting a lot." Sizhui answered.
"Night hunting? What? Is she a disciple?" Jin Ling ducked under a branch.
"That's what I asked. She works at a gentleman's club."
"What's a gentleman's club?"
"A prostitution center."
"Eww," Jin Ling said. The thought of any type of person who would see themselves out as a gross gremlin.
"Oh shush it! There are actually corpses around here," Sizhui whispered.
"You're lying, no place this quiet has corpses," Jin Ling rolled his eyes.
They heard rushing when a corpse ran towards Jin Ling. Hearing this Sizhui pushed Jin ling to the side and pulled out his sword, making a hit on the dead body.
"Hey! That's mean!" Jin Ling was still sitting the ground and he pulled out an arrow.
Another shot came from behind before Jin ling could shoot. It went through the corpses head and pined it to the tree.
"What the.." They were at a loss for words.
A girl wearing a purple dress walked from the direction of the arrow. She had a half up-half down hair style and looked around 20. Standing at a similar height with the boys.
*i drew a sketch of her if that helps*
"Are you alright?" She asked. "It looked like you feel down." She reached a hand out to Jin Ling.
"I'm fine, thank you," Jin Ling said annoyingly as he got up by himself. Sizhui retracted his sword and walked closer to the group.
"We're looking for a young lady named Lin ChangYing, do you perhaps know her?" He asked politely.
"Yes,"
"Really! Could you help us?"
"You're talking to her right now."
"But you don't look like a gremlin," Jin Ling said backing away ever so slightly.
"Excuse me?!" She sounded very offended and stomped to him. "I'm telling you just because I work at a gentleman's club doesn't mean I sell myself out!"
Jin Ling ran behind Sizhui. Using him as a human shield he spat out again. "How did you know that's what I meant!"
"I get it a lot." She shrugged. Her temperament seemed to calm down. "Anyways what do you want?"
"Could you let us in to convince one of you customers to talk?" Sizhui said walking to the side to avoid Jin Ling.
"Which one?"
"Wang LiWei,"
"That annoying brat? He's been at the club for a while," she shook her head. "But trying to get him to say a word would be impossible."
"What do you mean impossible?" Jin Ling asked.
"The boy constantly teases the girls about never saying where he got rich." Lin ChangYing started to walk away. "He never talks about anything else."
"Wait! That's what we want to ask him," Sizhui called. She stopped and faced them.
"You're kidding?" She stared him straight in the eyes. "You want to get rich?"
"Of course not! We need to know if he used a book!" Jin Ling yelled.
"A book?" A laugh left her lips. "Get real kids life is one big hell hole there's not such thing as a book." Lin ChangYing rolled her eyes.
"So seriously, there's a book called heaven bound and it's no where to be found." Sizhui spoke up although he quickly lost hope in trying.
"Fine," Lin ChangYing said. "Stick with me then." Their faces lit up as they continued to walk with her.
"But on one condition!" She pointed her finger up.
"What?"
"When we get there say you're a couple." They both went red.
"Are you out of your mind!" Jin Ling yelled. "There no way I'm going to pretend to date him!" (Honey you're tsundere is showing)
"A-Ling just do it, it's not that bad," Sizhui reassured him.
"Look you're already doing it," Lin ChangYing said. "That's all you have to do."
"Uuuggghhh!" Jin ling yelled. "Fine! Happy?" He agreed out of anger.
"Why do we have to do this anyways!" He asked. Sizhui tried to calm him down.
"Because the girls there hate men." Lin ChangYing said calmly.
"Then why do they work at a prostitution center?" Sizhui said after sealing Jin Ling's mouth shut.
"No that's the difference," She said. "They hate straight men." She started walking again.
"What?" Sizhui followed, pulling Jin ling along by the collar.
"Simple, what I just said they don't like straight men."
"Is it because they would hit on them?"
"Bingo! Someone deserves a trophy!" She stopped for a second. "What was your name again?"
"I'm Lan Sizhui and this is Jin RuLan." He pointed to the living statue he was dragging behind.
"Ohhhh you're one of the Gusu lan kids," she said sarcastically. "You know me, Lin ChangYing or Lin yuan* your choice."
*Yuan 苑: meaning park or garden*
Jin Ling tried to speak but only made muffled sounds as he kick around.
"Let you're friend speak, I'm sick of hearing him," Sizhui released Jin Ling and he inhaled dramatically.
"She has the same name as you A-yuan!" Jin Ling said which caught the attention of Lin ChangYing.
"What?" She asked.
"I was kinda adopted by my parents and they gave me a new name lan yuan* but originally it was your name yuan." Sizhui explained.
*yuan: meaning honest, hope and desire. They are different only in meaning and writing. 苑 and 愿. Idk I though it was cool!*
"Oh really? Then ima call you Lan Yuan," she giggled. "I love confusing them!" Jin Ling finally decided to walk on his own.
They came to a stop suddenly when they heard corpses. Lin ChangYing ran straight toward the sound with Sizhui and Jin Ling following. The sounds of their robes rustled in the dark.
The night had started and they could barely see. Surprisingly Lin ChangYing shot it perfectly through the chest, before they could see it properly.
They reached an opening in the trees which had just enough moon light to see the creature dead.
"Did we get it?" Jin Ling asked also with a bow and arrow in hand.
"I'm not so sure," Sizhui said turning around to face three more undead humans.
Jin ling fired an arrow shooting it in the shoulder as Sizhui ran up cutting off his head. The headless body fell the the ground.
Their relief was short when another ran towards them. Jin ling jumped up and shoot the head clear in the middle.
"We did it!" They high-fived each other happily as Lin ChangYing finished the other.
"Pretty good! Not gonna lie about that!" She praised them a little while she slug her bow next to her arrows. "Keep it up!"
"Where did you learn to fight?" Sizhui asked.
"I know nothing of your sorts I only shoot arrows to stop them while I collect herbs," she said.
"What herbs?"
"These one's" she opened a bag she was carrying. It only half way full, but the bag seemed heavy. "lavender, citrus leaves, and a lot others,"
"The drinks need to come from somewhere you know." Lin ChangYing added.
"The day's ending soon let's get going." Sizhui suggested.
